Love Repeated by Nancy Corrigan
Young lovers, Kyle and Ronnie, had the world ahead of them at seventeen. Stubbornness, misunderstanding and a mother’s influence forced them to forge their own paths. A decade later, neither can find love.
Ronnie always thought it was easier to move on than deal with the pain and hurt of past mistakes. She made plenty of them, but so did Kyle and her parents. Kyle knows the moment he touches Ronnie that he still loves her. He won’t repeat the past and let her leave him a second time.
It takes a tragedy and a secret to reunite them, but their passion returns in a rush along with regret and guilt. To have love, they’ll have to overcome their issues—before her mother’s sin takes Ronnie away, once and for all.
Excerpt from Love Repeated
“Damn,
you’re as stubborn as ever, aren’t you?”
He grinned
and trailed his fingers down her spine. “Persistent, not stubborn.”
She
huffed and twisted out of reach. He let his hand drop, curling his fingers so
he didn’t reach for her again. She draped the strap of her purse over a
shoulder and grabbed the handles of the crate.
“Obstinate and hard-headed,
that’s what you are, Kyle Sander.”
God, he
loved when she used his full name. “It’s good to be consistent, doll. People
know what to expect from me.”
The
light from the phone she held illuminated her face. A smile tugged at her lips.
She turned away. A shame. He wanted to watch it spread.
“Good
night, Kyle. Thanks for checking on me, but as you can see, I’m fine. No wild
animal or drugged college kid has assaulted me.”
On a
grunt, she hefted the trunk and started walking away from where she’d left her
car. Well, shuffled described her
awkward steps better. He watched her struggle with her unusual baggage, puzzled
by the older Ronnie. She’d gotten good at avoiding questions. It only stoked
his curiosity.
He fell into
step next to her.
She
glanced at him. “Why are you still following me?”
“Figured
you’d need me to carry that for you.”
“I can
manage.”
He glanced from her fingers tightened around the handles to the strained muscles in her arms. "Looks heavy."
He glanced from her fingers tightened around the handles to the strained muscles in her arms. "Looks heavy."
“I’m stronger
than you think.”
He
matched her slow pace. “I can see that.”
“Then
why are you still here?”
“Well,
the cabin is a good half mile up the mountain, and once you realize you can’t
spend the night there, you’re going to have to carry that thing back down.”
She
stopped and carefully set the trunk onto the ground. “Why can’t I stay there? I
do own it.”
“So you
turned the power back on and had somebody clean it?”
She
licked her lips. “I don’t need lights, and a little dirt won’t kill me. I’ll
survive a night. It’ll be like camping, and I’ll call a mechanic in the
morning. So, you see, I’m fine. I don’t need you.”
He bit
his lower lip to stop his grin. “And I suppose you don’t need water or to be
able to flush the toilet either.” He gave up and let his amusement show. “Need
power to run the well pump, Ronnie.”
She
glanced from the trunk at her feet to the road in front of her. “I need to get
up there.”
“Tonight?”
She gave
a small shake of her head. “I guess not.”
“How
about I get you somewhere that has running water, then bring you out here
tomorrow?”
“Being
my hero again?”
“I
always was good at it.”

About Nancy:
A true romantic at
heart, Nancy Corrigan is convinced there’s a knight in shining armor for every
woman (or man), but you won’t find damsels in distress in her stories. She
adores pairing alpha heroes with woman strong enough to match them and bring
them to their knees. She also enjoys flipping the traditional roles in romances
because her motto is—love and people should never be forced to conform to
anyone’s norm.
She holds a degree
in chemistry and has worked in research but now focuses on ensuring quality.
She considers it the perfect outlet for her as she’s the first to admit she has
some OCD tendencies. It carries over into her writing life too. While engrossed
in a novel, she has a habit of forgetting to eat and sleep. Fortunately, she’s
married to her own knight in shining armor who understands her oddities and
loves her anyway. They reside in Pennsylvania with their three children, dog,
snake and guinea pigs. Her other interests include tattoos, animals, classic
cars and all things spooky and sexy.
