An emotionally charged series.
PULL ME CLOSE
The Panic #1
Sidney Halston
Releasing Oct 25th, 2016
Loveswept
Welcome to Panic, a sultry Miami nightclub where bodies and hearts move to a beat that doesn’t stop at sunrise—the setting for an emotionally charged series from the bestselling author of the Worth the Fight novels.
When
Katherine Wilson passes out in the arms of the hottest man she’s ever seen,
it’s not because of the lights, the pulsating music, or the crowded dance
floor. It’s because she can’t enjoy a night out like a normal person, not with
her debilitating anxieties. These panic attacks are going to destroy her life
unless she takes control—or gets a helping hand. So after the club’s bad-boy
owner personally escorts her home, Katherine feels something urgent and primal
awaken inside of her.
Nick Moreno
doesn’t need a headache like Katherine. A drug bust has put his father behind
bars and forced Nick to take over the daily business of his family’s South
Beach nightclub. His head tells him to walk away—but his body has other ideas.
Katherine’s vulnerability, her grace and courage, compel him to reach out. And
when they kiss, Nick is overcome by desire: to pull her close, and promise that
his embrace will always be the safest place on earth.
My heart melts at
the scene around me. Four months ago I couldn’t have dreamed this, and now I’m
living it. I love these people. Really love them. My heart is so full right now
it feels as if it’s going to burst.
I’m alone in the
booth with Nico, who is sitting with a cigar in one hand and a tumbler of amber
liquid in the other, looking so damn sexy and dangerous.
“You drunk,
baby?” he asks, indicating the flute with a nod of his chin.
I put the flute
on the table and slide closer to him. He puts his cigar and drink down and
wraps an arm around my waist.
“Drunk enough to
want to say something to you, but not drunk enough that it won’t count.”
“What do you want to say to me, corazón?” He tucks some stray hair behind
my ear and his thumb strokes my cheek.
“I’ve decided I’m
going to let myself fall in love with you,” I say.
His smile fades.
He brings his other hand to my cheek, those emeralds eyes looking intently at
me.
“Then you need to
catch up, baby."
“What? Are you
drunk?”
“Drunk enough
that I want to make love to you on this table right now, but not enough to
actually try it.”
I laugh and throw
myself on him.
One hand holds me tightly against him, while the other one grabs
his phone. “One second,” he says as he ferociously types something into his
phone. Jeez, so not the right time to be texting.
“Come on,” he
says at last, and helps me up. He pushes the table back a little so that we
have more space. I’m not exactly sure what is going on, but I don’t question
it. Suddenly the fast-paced dance music stops mid-song and the DJ comes on the
speakers.
“A special
request,” the DJ says. The strobe lights stop and the overall lighting dims,
and then a familiar song that does not at all belong in a modern dance club
starts playing. People look confused for a moment, as do I until I recognize
the song: “Just Breathe” by Pearl Jam.
“Just breathe,” he tells me, because I’ve stopped breathing.
USA Today bestselling author, Sidney Halston lives
her life with one simple rule: "Just Do It"--Nike. And that's exactly
what she did.
After working hard as an attorney, Sidney picked up a pen for the first time at thirty years old to begin her dream of writing. Having never written anything other than very exciting legal briefs, she found an outlet for her imaginative, romantic side and wrote Seeing Red. That first pen stroke sealed the deal, and she fell in love with writing. Sidney lives in South Florida with her husband and children. She loves her family above all else, and reading follows a close second. When she's not writing, you can find her reading and reading and reading. She's a reader first and a writer second. When she's not writing or reading, her life is complete and utter chaos, trying to balance family life with work and writing (and reading). But she wouldn't have it any other way.
