In
Audrey O’Connor’s steamy, stormy follow-up novella to Lessons in Pure Life,
sun-soaked days melt into restless nights for Diego and Lia, kept apart for
weeks by long hours and miles of coastline. When an A-list wedding reunites
them in Caramel Beach, the tension is higher than ever.
Over
the course of an electric twenty-four hours filled with sugar, sex, and magic,
the couple faces their share of personal demons, angels, and unlikely prophets.
While Diego confronts his problems with the help of a surf champ and a bottle
of whiskey, Lia stumbles into a bathroom-stall seduction and possibilities she
never knew existed. Amid the chaos, Lia and Diego try to reconnect. What comes
after is a life-altering odyssey into uncharted territory.

Excerpt:
We
meander back to the hostel in the wet sand, the surf to our left. The moon is
full and bright, bouncing off the gentle waves that roll into the bay.
My
first few months in Costa Rica were rich with the exhilaration of my new
environment. I landed in the lap of a whole new life, just like that. After
working all month in Pacifica without him, being with Diego again sends those
early memories bobbing up to the surface. He’s got this sharp energy beneath
the layers and layers that make up a man. Intimidation is what he inspires,
followed closely by strange physical sensations that spell your undoing. He
triggers an energy in me that could tear the hood off a car. And I’m sure as
hell not on flakka.
He
slides his arm around my waist like he can hear me. We walk a few steps before
he stops and turns to face me.
“I
wouldn’t hate it if you’d let me hold you.”
The
waves crash endlessly behind us, a soaking wet heartbeat. I’m still strung up
in his words when he closes the empty space between us.
“You’re
on fire,” he tells me, hands making a ring behind my back so we’re suspended in
some kind of stained glass embrace.
“Hey,
thanks.”
“You
sure know how to put yourself together, gringa.”
Blush.
“I’m
not the only one.”
He
sighs and I wait patiently. Indecision slows his expression, crystalizing in
his delay.
Whatever
it is goes away.
“Did
you enjoy your time, you know, without me distracting you?” he asks.
“It
was busy, but we got a lot done at the new school. I can’t complain.”
“I
wish you would.” He pulls me in closer.
That
one gets me. His slow kiss disappears everything around me before I’m even sure
it’s happening. Lips softer than I remember, the light scrape of his chin on
mine. A rugged feeling so welcome it can stay for dessert.
“You’re
trouble,” he breathes.
“The
best kind of it,” I reply.
“There’s
nothing I can do about it, is there?”
“I
doubt it.”
Bowing
his head, he lowers his eyelids.
“I
forgot what this is like,” he laughs tiredly, rubbing his cheek with his hand.
“You still take me by surprise.” He tilts his head, considering me tenderly but
wincing, like it hurts to admit it.
Watch
and see my defenses lower to unprecedented depths.
I
press against him, not sure whether I’m teasing him or me. His palm is warm on
the back of my leg.
“How’d
you get your skin so soft, anyway?” he whispers, stroking my thigh gently until
it evolves into a grasp, the tips of his fingers pushing into my flesh.
“Magic.”
“It’s
working.”
I
laugh, breathless. “So what do you wanna do?”
“Right
now?”
I
nod.
He
pulls me in by the bottom with both hands. “Get to know you all over again.”

Freshly
minted grad Emilia Noble arrives in Costa Rica to teach English in the tropical
community of Pacifica. Its carefree, pura vida lifestyle is a welcome contrast
to her dark and wintry origins. Tossing caution aside like an old winter coat,
she plunges headfirst into an exotic cocktail of sensory pleasure.
Diego
is a local whose surfer body and cool detachment make Lia buzz with a long-lost
thrill. Fascinated by her new environment, she can’t help but wonder about the
moody inner workings of the boy with triceps like Wolverine and a grimace to
match.
Diego
seems to have no problem ignoring Lia, though. Caught up in his family’s
conflicted attitude toward foreigners, he notices her only when it’s
convenient. But as Lia thrives in her new surroundings, Diego might just find
reason enough to defy his embattled, insular father. When north and south are
mixed together, the results are intoxicating.
