Need You Now, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by Molly O’Keefe is available NOW!
MARCO
I have loved Rosa since I met her in high school English, even though the odds have always been stacked against us. She is the child of criminals, resigned to a bleak future. I’m the heir to a successful construction company and am not afraid to go after what I want.
And I want Rosa. Always and forever.
ROSA
I broke the law to make sure Marco got custody of our daughter, and I paid the price. But now that I’m out of jail, I’m terrified my ugly past might bleed into our daughter’s future.
The only way to ensure that doesn’t happen is staying far away from both of them.
But Marco isn’t letting me run from him. Not again.

Excerpt:
He
looked at me across the room and slowly shook his head. “I don’t want to love
you,” he said.
“I
know.”
“Half
the time I hate you.”
“I
know.”
He
looked away from me, his hands in fists, and I could feel the tension across
the room, the fragile control he had on himself. How he was barely holding on.
And I knew that he would never hurt me. The thing he was trying to stop himself
from doing was touch me.
“I’m
leaving,” he said and crossed the room in three angry steps. Everything in me
told me to get out of the way. To let him go. But I didn’t. I stood right in
front of the door in my gold vest and hot pants.
His
face was flushed. “Get out of my way,” he said, and my mouth was full, my
throat closed, and I shook my head. “Don’t make me,” he said. “Don’t make me
touch you.”
It
was exactly what I was doing, because I would take his touch any way I could
get it.
“Fuck,
Rosa,” he groaned. “Fuck you.”
And
he put his hands around my arms and pulled me up and into his body so my
breasts touched his chest, and between my legs I felt the hard pressure of him.
I gasped and he turned. I expected him to let me go. I expected him to shove me
away but he didn’t. Oh god, he didn’t. He lifted me off my feet and took two
steps forward, pushing me against the wall. Not gently. But not rough. And then
he leaned against me, his entire body against mine. And I was electrified.
Every inch of my skin burned where it touched his.
I
burned so hot I burned right through all the years. All the pain fell away and
it was just us. Marco and me and the desire so pure it kept changing the course
of both our lives.
He
held himself so still, so carefully, and he was going to walk away. I knew he
was. He would walk away and this moment would never happen again.
“Please,”
I begged, because it was all I had left. No more pride. No more distance. I was
only need.
