TRYST ISLAND SERIES FROM SABRINA YORK
Fall in Love on Tryst Island
When a group of friends share a vacation house, wild hijinks, unexpected hook-ups and steamy sex ensue. And true love. Did I mention they all find true love?
Each book in the series is a stand-alone story.
REBOUND by Sabrina York
Kristi Cross has had the hots for her friend, Cameron
Jackson as long as she can remember, but she knows she’s not his type. She’s
nothing like the women he dates. So when he suggests they play for a kiss
over a game of Hearts, Kristi can’t resist. Even if she loses, she wins.
Because she’s finally going to taste him.
Of course, one kiss can quickly become something altogether
steamier, especially when both parties are on the rebound…

An Excerpt From: REBOUND
Cam nodded and dealt the cards. They were halfway through
the first hand when he broke the silence.
“I can’t remember a time when we were both single.”
“What?” Thank God she hadn’t just taken a sip of beer—she
would have spewed it across the table for sure.
“Think about it. Since the day we met, one of us was always
in a relationship.”
Usually him.
She didn’t respond. She didn’t know what to say.
He winced as he took a trick. “I just think it’s
interesting. That’s all.”
“What’s… interesting?” It took everything in her not to
mangle her cards.
“You know. That we’re both available. Both here. Alone.”
Oh. Yeah.
All uncertainty wafted away. That was definitely interest
simmering in those steely blue orbs.
Kristi’s heart went into rapid fire mode. Her breath
hitched. Heat lashed through her body.
“I…ah… W-what’s your p-point?” She tried to act all blasé,
but the stuttering probably ruined it.
He grinned at her, investing his expression with an
extremely seductive thread. “I was thinking we could play…for something.”
“S-something?”
“A kiss, maybe?”
Brain freeze. Oh yeah. Every thought fled. Every rational
cogent inkling spun out of reach. She could only feel. Stare at him in shock.
Ache for him.
His tongue came out, dabbing at his lips. She fixated on it,
imagining that tongue, what it could do. The havoc it could cause in various
parts of her trembling body—
“A kiss?” A squeak. “We’ve never k-kissed before.”
He leaned closer. His voice dropped an octave. “I’m aware of
that.”
“But-but… I thought… We’re just f-friends.”
He studied her over his cards, stroking them slowly. “Are
you saying you don’t want to kiss me, Kristi?”
“I… No! I just… We’ve always… It’s probably…”
Amusement—twined with certainty—softened his intensity.
“What are you trying to say, Kristi?”
She meticulously rearranged her cards. “I just… I didn’t
think you found me attractive. That’s all.”
He boggled. “Are you crazy? You’re gorgeous.”
A little thrill flickered up her spine. “I’m not.” She
ignored his frown at that, and plowed on with her reasoning. “Besides, in all
these years, none of us… well, none of us have.”
“Lane and Lucy did.”
She snorted. “And look how well that worked out.”
He drew in a breath. “I’m suggesting a kiss, Kristi. Just a
kiss. Be honest. Haven’t you ever wondered what it could be like between us?”
A hot tide crawled up her cheeks. Oh, he didn’t miss it. He
couldn’t. Her face was neon red. Like a well-cooked lobster.
His features tightened. A muscle ticked in his cheek. “You
have. Haven’t you? Imagined it?” The hint, the thread of uncertainty in his
tone struck her to the core.
He was uncertain? He was nervous? Holy Hannah.
“I…” She plucked at the label on her beer again. It was
becoming quite mangled. “Maybe.” A whisper.
“Well. So have I. Often.”
She gaped at him. “Often?”
“Very often.”
“But…”
“What?”
“Carmen was perfect.”
“She was.” Her heart dipped at that. “But when she smiled?”
“Yeah?”
“She didn’t smile with her whole face. Not the way you do.
She didn’t embrace life. She just kind of clung to the edges. You toss yourself
in.” He fondled the neck of his bottle. “It’s an attractive quality, Kris. A
man can’t help wondering…”
“Wondering what?”
“If you make love that way too.”
Ooh. Those words skimmed over the air between them, smooth
and silky and oh so seductive.
Not that he needed to seduce her.
Hell, all he had to do was breathe and she wanted him.
Still…
“Are you drunk?”
He grinned. “Not in the slightest.”
“This is probably a bad idea.”
His smile broadened.
“Cam, we’re both on the rebound.”
He shifted, as though something was making his position
uncomfortable. “Sometimes you score the winning point off a rebound.”
“A basketball analogy? Really?” He knew she was a football
fan.
“If the shoe fits.” He reached across the table and took her
hand in his. His heat enveloped her, sank in and made her want to weep. She
could only imagine how good he would feel touching her all over. Pressing her
down into a soft mattress. Entering her in a hard, hot thrust…
Yeah. She could imagine it. So well, her body was already
preparing for it. A slick dampness eased between her legs. Her nipples pebbled.
Her womb clenched in hunger.
“What would the others think?”
“Why would we tell them?” His smile was far too charming.
“It’s only a kiss.”
“One kiss?”
“Yeah. One kiss. A forfeit. If you win the hand, I kiss you.
If I win, you kiss me.”
She glanced at his lips. Strong. Powerful. Perfectly formed.
She’d wanted to feel them, taste them, have them since the day they’d met. Why
was she dithering? What was she afraid of?
Well, other than heartbreak.
But she’d long ago learned that heartbreak could come
whether you were careful or reckless.
Might as well be reckless.
She would rather enjoy a sliver of decadent fudgy brownie
than suffer through a lifetime of dusty rice cakes.
“Okay. Let’s do it.”
He stared at her. The tension between them mounted, hummed.
His Adam’s apple made the slow journey up and back down his throat. Then he
picked up the cards, shuffled once and quickly dealt out a new hand.
Kristi’s pulse raced. Her mind whirled. Her body trembled.
She was going to do it. After all these years.
She was going to kiss Cam Jackson.
