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.

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.
