That Rush
(2026)(The seventh book in the Slade Brothers Second Generation series)
A novel by Alexis Winter
I came back to Virginia Dale with a six-year-old daughter, a broken past, and one goal: build a life stable enough that nothing could knock us down again.
Then Paige Whitaker walked into my life with that witty sarcasm, dangerous legs, and absolutely NO interest in being claimed by a Slade.
She’s the town’s snarky librarian with an opinion about my family about as big as she is.
A woman with her nose always stuffed in a book.
A woman who likes her quiet life exactly the way it is.
And for some damn reason, that only makes me want her more.
Paige doesn’t need rescuing. Doesn’t need fixing.
Doesn’t need a man complicating her perfectly peaceful Sundays.
Too bad I can’t stop wanting to be that complication.
Every time she turns me down, I get more determined.
Every time she smiles, I forget why taking things slow is supposed to be smart.
And every time I catch a glimpse of the filthy books she reads, I start wondering what it would take to get her to act out one of those scenes.
I should be focused on rebuilding. On doing things right this time.
Instead, I’m thinking about Paige in ways that are anything but careful.
But Paige doesn’t want forever. She wants independence. Space.
The freedom to go with the flow and see where life takes her.
And I’m the kind of man who wants roots. Stability. A home my daughter can count on.
But the rush I feel when Paige looks at me like I’m the risk she wants to take?
That’s the kind of feeling a man either fights for… or spends the rest of his life regretting.
Genre: Romance
