EXCERPT REVEAL FOR
From New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author
Copyright ยฉ 2018, Penelope Ward
Needing a few seconds to prepare, I closed my eyes the moment I knew he was about to turn on the camera.
I donโt know why I was so afraid to see him. Maybe I was worried his looks would somehow change the way I viewed him. I hated that Iโd even had that thought. I didnโt want to be unattracted to him physically because I was so very drawn to him in every other way. Shouldnโt those be the ways that mattered? I was scared I would somehow feel differently about him, and he deserved better than to be judged on his physical appearance.
โYou can open your eyes,โ he said.
My heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest.
Here goes.
One, two, threeโฆ
When I saw him right in front of me, my mouth fell open.
Oh.
Oh my.
Oh wow.
Big, glowing eyes. Perfect nose. Stubbled, angular jaw. Full lips. Strong arms. I just kept blinking because I couldnโt believe my eyes. He looked like a model or a movie star. A rush of insecurity hit me.
Is this a joke?
No, it wasnโt.
It was really him.
Ryder.
Oh my God.
The lust consuming me made me feel almost guilty. But I was so damn relieved that he was truly as beautiful on the outside as I believed him to be on the inside. He was almost too beautiful, if there were such a thing.
He looked nothing like the vague image Iโd formed in my head, which was sort of like a silhouette without a clear face but with a brown beard, kind of like a hipster. Not sure why Iโd pictured him like that. It was kind of funny how off base I was. This was not what Iโd been expecting. Because how could someone so thoughtful, attentive, creative, and considerate be so strikingly handsome that he made me speechless? And it was clear now that his sexy voice absolutely fit him.
โYouโreโฆโ I hesitated.
โOh shit.โ He laughed. โWhat are you thinking?โ
โNo. No, no, no. Nothing bad at all. I just donโt even know how to articulate it. Youโreโฆbeautiful, Ryder. Absolutely beautiful.โ
He let out a breath. โAnd youโreโฆhandsome, Eden. Very handsome.โ His impish grin was so sexy.
I chuckled. โI know beautiful is an odd term for a man, but you are. All this time youโve been hiding from me when youโre drop-dead gorgeous. Why?โ
โYou really did think I was ashamed of my looks, huh?โ
โWell, Iโd be lying if I said that didnโt cross my mind. I wondered if there was something you were self-conscious about. That always made me a little sad. But it never mattered to me, because Iโve been connecting with you on a deeper level.โ
โI think thatโs exactly why I didnโt want to change things,โ he said. โWhy fix something if it ainโt broken?โ When I fell silent, he asked, โWhat are you thinking?โ
A nervous energy overtook me. โNothing. Iโmโฆstill just taking you in.โ
โOkay. Let me know when youโre done so I can stop sucking in my abs.โ
Synopsis:
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy STANDALONE novel.
We met in the least likely of places. It started out innocently enough. I was โScreenGodโ and she was โMontana,โ but of course, those werenโt our actual names, just the virtual cloaks we hid behind.
Logging in at night and talking to her was my escapeโmy sanctuary.
Her real name was Eden, Iโd soon come to find out.
From the first time we connected online, I found myself transfixed.
She was an addiction.
At first, we knew nothing about each otherโs real identitiesโฆand she was adamant that we keep things that way. Anonymity had no effect on our unstoppable chemistry, though. If anything, it allowed us to open up even more in ways we may not have otherwise.
Eden was funny, intelligent, gorgeousโeverything Iโd ever wanted in a woman.
But I couldnโt really have her.
I had accepted things would have to stay the way they wereโuntil the day I found a clue that led me straight to her.
So I took a chance.
And that was when our love story really began.
For more Love Online, PRE-ORDER now to continue reading on August 27th!
