He held out his hand between them. “Take it. I can be the one. I wasn’t lying when I said I’d catch you. You just have to let me.”
~~SUMMARY~~
For a man who
thought he had everything, Trace Jacks sure had nothing now.
After one
letter blows his life apart, Trace is clueless how he can move on. He
stumbles through the days, never accepting the grief that flows within
him, and finding it easier to bury his loss. To him, if he doesn’t
think about it, then it never happened. Burying the hurt, he continues
with his new life. Hiding from the truth becomes a lot easier after he
takes his niece to her dance class, striking up an interesting
conversation with her teacher.
Shae
Bennett is happy to keep things fun, enjoying Trace’s seduction and his
spontaneity. She’s reluctant to get serious with anyone; she has enough
going on in her life. With him she can forget about her concerns for
her mom, her tumultuous relationship with her father, and stress of
running the dance studio. With him she can be herself, and it becomes
all-consuming.
When the
fun begins to slip, when reality starts to encroach in the worst
possible way, their relationship unravels at an alarming speed. Neither
one is willing to end what they’ve come to need so deeply, but each of
them has issues that can only be dealt with alone.
Can Trace
and Shae unhook the chains that hold them back? Is their newfound love
strong enough to battle back to one another?
~~EXCERPT~~
“Shae?” he
called out, but his words got lost in the music as he descended the
stairs. He didn’t say her name again, because the moment he saw her he
was transfixed.
Shae was
dancing.
She’d
pushed the couch against the far wall, leaving space in the center of
the room to move. Instead of yesterday’s clothes, she now wore a pair
of tight black shorts and a loose gray tank. Her feet were bare. They
hit the floor with a small slap.
Being
careful not to disturb her, Trace lowered himself and sat on a stair,
still watching her every movement. He doubted she’d hear him even if he
did make a noise. Shae was locked in her moment, oblivious to the world
around her.
The music
was haunting, conveying her sadness, and as she pirouetted, he saw it
on her face, too. Shae was crying. He expected it, though the fact that
she was doing it while dancing made it harder for him to see. Dancing
had bonded Lisbeth and Shae, and now it was all she had left of that.
Trace couldn’t bring himself to disturb her.
Her arms
swirled, her body swayed, each movement graceful and smooth. She
covered the floor in three quick steps, followed by a delicate jump. It
amazed him that she kept her poise during the leap, enough to point her
toes. When she repeated the move, he watched her fingers this time, and
smiled when she pointed those.
~~ABOUT THE AUTHOR~~
M. A.
Stacie is never without a book or her eReader. A voracious reader, with
a love of sexy yet angst-ridden novels, she adores getting lost in new
worlds. Her need to write did not grip her until after her second son
was born, when her previous rambles became fully fledged stories.
She
describes herself as one huge contradiction, and though not the most
conventional of hobbies, she counts getting new tattoos as one of hers.
Running keeps her sane, along with knitting and listening to loud music.
M. A.
Stacie lives in the UK with her husband and three sons.

Praise for Beyond the Seduction
"Trace Jacks we met
in book 1 of the Reluctance series, he was the brother of Dale and
worked at the Metro. In book 3 we find out more about this lovable
character other then him being Big brother to Dale, we get to delve
deeper into his life and I for one was truly excited!
Trace is
having a rough time of it, this is the understatement of the century!
He just found out his girlfriend had cheated on him - multiple times!!
Not only that but his daughter isn't really his. Needless to say he is
one messed up dude and needs to stay as far away from the female
population as possible.
Until he
meets Shae his niece's dance teacher who for the first time in weeks
has made him crack a smile. Click to read More... - Melissa

I love the fact that he watches her dance. Dance is such a beautiful and expressive art. Great excerpt.
