Title: Past Regrets
Author: Shelley Munro
Series: Love and Friendship #2
Genre: Romance
Synopsis:
Julia
Maxwell was a seize-the-moment party girl until the night she spent with
up-and-coming rocker Ryan Callander. From that moment, she was a one-man woman.
Pity he hasn’t kept with the program.
Tired
of the secrets that have kept her out of the press and Ryan’s fans happy, angry
with mounting evidence of infidelity, Julia is older, wiser, and determined to
divorce his cheatin’ ass.
Ryan’s
long European tour had more than its share of hard knocks—one of which landed
on his head when he was mugged. Divorce papers waiting for him at home are a
shock that fills in some of the holes in his sketchy memory. But it could be
too late to salvage his marriage.
If
Ryan thinks flirtatious smiles, seductive touches, and hot-and-heavy kisses are
going to smooth things over, Julia’s got a hammer with his name on it. To her
surprise, he picks it up, determined to rebuild a bright future for both of
them. But the past is lurking with some missing pieces that could bring their
hearts crashing down.
Excerpt:
“Julia, it can’t be that bad,” Maggie said.
“It’s worse.” Julia pulled the envelope from her handbag,
going for diversion from the most troubling truth. “This is a letter from my
mother.”
“You never talk about her,” Susan said. “Where does she
live?”
“Auckland.” They lived in the same city, and her mother felt
she had to post her a letter rather than pick up the phone or even send an
email. It said a lot about their relationship.
“But you never… Do you see her?” Maggie asked.
“We talk on the phone, and I drop in to see her once or
twice a month.” Julia winced. “That sounds heartless, as if I don’t care, but
we’ve never been super close. She’s always been busy working or involved with a
man.” Usually a different one every month, but she didn’t voice the thought. It
seemed disloyal when her record was no better.
Maggie wrinkled her nose. “I’d be the last one to cast
stones. My relationship with my parents isn’t worth shouting about. I’m closer
to Connor’s parents than mine.”
“What’s the problem?” Susan’s blue eyes held genuine
concern. “What can we do to help?”
Julia’s hand tightened around her glass. Afraid of breaking
it, she set her wine aside. How would her friends react? “My mother runs a club
on Karangahape Road. A strip club.” Julia sucked in a quick breath and scanned
her friends’ faces, ready for their responses. She’d heard every variation
while growing up and had a smartass cut down for each dirty, snide comment.
“K’ Road? Really?” The pitch of Maggie’s voice rose, clear
amusement in the quirk of her lips.
“Is that all you’re gonna say?” Julia demanded.
