He wanted nothing at all…
Until he found she had everything to give…
Sunder lead singer and guitarist Sebastian Stone
has everything—fans, fame, and fortune. He also has a heart full of bitterness
and a reputation for a short-fused temper. But an outward reputation rarely
reveals the true man inside. Facing assault charges after trying to protect his
younger brother, Sebastian is sent to Savannah, Georgia to lie low until the
dust settles in L.A.
Shea Bentley is beautiful, kind, and hiding from
the very lifestyle Sebastian has always embraced.
When the mysterious, tattooed stranger begins
hanging out at the bar where she works, Shea is quick to recognize he is
nothing but trouble, but she's helpless to the way her body lights up every
time his intense gray eyes tangle with hers.
They both soon find themselves drowning in a sea
of desire and passion that won’t let them up for air.
Sebastian knows firsthand secrets never die, and
he’s not the only one who’s hiding them.
Loving someone always comes with a price. But
will it be Shea’s past that costs them everything?

Stone in the Sea Excerpts
I dug in my bag for my keys and slipped the
front-door key into the lock, turned the knob, and cracked open the door.
“Goodnight, Baz.” I turned away and went to
cross the threshold.
I felt him move before I felt the blazing
heat of his hand on my neck, beneath my hair, his thumb at my jaw to force me
to look back at him.
Indecision swam through his eyes, voice
rough. “You’re beautiful, Shea. Need you to know that.”
Slowly, I shifted, turning to face him, his
right hand gliding around to the side of my neck in the same second his left
came up to the other side. Holding me. Thumbs ran along the contour of my jaw,
strong fingers at my nape tipping back my head.
I felt like I would drown under the
intensity of him—my body coming alive—a rapid-fire of sensation licking through
my body with the simple touch.
I stopped breathing when he slowly leaned
in. His mouth brushed over mine in a feather-light caress.
Once. Twice. Three times.
Testing.
As if he were curious to see what it might
feel like.
Like he’d gotten the answer, he gripped my
face. There was little movement, just the dizzying sweetness of his lips as
they pressed earnestly against my mouth. Baz inhaled, breathing the moment in.
I grabbed his wrists to hold him closer as my knees went weak, the man again
having the power to evoke the most foolish kind of reaction from me.
He fed from it, I could tell, the way every
inch of him hardened and a rumble of pleasure vibrated from his chest.
Spinning us, he pushed me up against the
wall. My back hit it with a thud, and his hands were in my hair, yanking me
forward in the same second his mouth closed fiercely over mine.
He was no longer gentle, and he swept his
tongue along the rim of my bottom lip, teasing at the corner, nipped me once
before his tongue slipped inside.
It was an all-out assault.
