New Release Spotlight: Stirred by Nancy Thompson




I’m Eden MacLaird, and Fate screwed me good at the age of twenty-one, stole my first love, then my first child. Twenty years later, I still haven't found my happily-ever-after. Sure, from the outside, I have it all, including Declan, my gorgeous, rich-as-sin husband. But things aren't what they seem, and catching Declan in bed with my best friend destroys any dreams I harbor for love, much less sexual fulfillment.

Then in walks Sean Bennett...

Just months away from earning his post-graduate law degree, Sean's smart, driven, and serious, but an unexpected encounter between us in a bar one night changes everything. His best friend, Trinitee, warns against getting too involved, but the heat between us is beyond intense, and neither of us are willing to walk away.

With my marriage in shambles, I'm eager to make a go of it with Sean, despite our sixteen-year age difference. But while I relish my sexual reawakening, I fear giving up the posh life I've grown accustomed to. That life, however, and everything in it, comes crashing down as bodies start piling up around us, and all clues point to me and Sean.

Secrets, betrayal, and revenge threaten to destroy not just my carefully-crafted reputation, but my very life. With our freedom at stake, Sean and I join forces to uncover those plotting against us. But as doubt and evidence mount, I must choose: give in to my suspicions and save myself, or trust our new-found love and save us both.



Sean was every woman’s carnal dream-come-true. Young, sexy, and confident, with dark eyes and messy hair. A tall, lean body sculpted to athletic perfection. Lips that made my flesh ripple with goosebumps. And large hands with long, dexterous fingers. He was like a classically-trained concert pianist, and I his finely-tuned instrument, each key a different part of me, begging to be stroked by an expert and singing like a nightingale when he did. He made me realize what I’d been missing all these years with Declan. I’d told myself Declan was enough, but now that I knew what was possible, I realized how completely deluded I’d been.
Christ, Sean Bennett was literally a fucking wonder.
At first, I was embarrassed when I read Sean’s text messages, but, after each one, I grew more and more inflamed, until my excitement for our impending date began to overwhelm me. At work, I’d catch myself staring blindly out the window, as had several of my employees and teachers when they’d knocked at my office door, unable to gain my attention. And at home, I went through the motions—cooking dinner, washing dishes, cleaning house—only to realize I’d been stirring the same pot, scrubbing the same plate, or vacuuming the same spot for minutes on end. I couldn’t even concentrate enough to write.

After each text, I’d remind Sean that he’d agreed to go slow and get to know me. He joked that he’d go slow, all right, that he’d drive me to the edge of insanity with how slow he was going to work me. Of course, my face heated at the thought. Sean then added that he probably knew me better than any other man alive, including my husband. I was ashamed to admit he was right.
