Flights of passion
When her engagement party is crashed by her fiancéâs mistress, Tressa Washington will do anything to escape the disastrous aftermath. Even stow away in the back of a guestâs SUV. And when she tells Roth Lexington to âjust drive,â the handsome aerospace engineer does exactly that. In his snowbound mountain cabin, mutual attraction ignites a scorching affair...
Roth has three rules: never be vulnerable, always wake up alone and stay in control. Thanks to Tressa, heâs broken them all. One beautiful, sensual night becomes many, but once they leave their haven behind, mistrust and meddling exes intervene. Soon he faces a choice: watch this stunning, adventurous woman walk away or finally let his guard down. Roth will quickly learn that in order to reach the heights of love, you have to be willing to fall...
âSomething clearly exists between us, Roth. Something that gives me so much peace it scares me.â
He hummed a sound that could have been interpreted as understanding or confusion, then his arms tightened around her a hint more. Was that his way of saying he felt the same way? She needed him to use words.
âWhy are you afraid of me, Roth?â That was the only logical explanation. The only thing that made sense.
Roth chuckled, the smooth, sexy sound caressing her ears.
He placed a finger under her chin and tilted her head up. âWoman, do you really think Iâm afraid of you?â
There was no need to be, but she replied, âYes.â
âIâm not afraid, Tressa. Just cautious.â
âAm I a risk?â
âYes,â he said without blinking.
Now they were getting somewhere. âAm I one worth taking?â She could tell by the way he studied her that the question had caught him off guard. Bringing her mouth within inches of his, she teased him in the same way heâd teased her earlier. âAm I a risk worth taking, Roth?â
His jaw tensed, relaxed, then tensed again. âYeah, I think you are,â he said in a low tone of surrender.
Thank you so much for purchasing Soaring on Love! Whether youâre trying one of my novels for the very first time or are already a #joyaveryromance reader, your support is everything. I appreciate each and every one of you!
Because of his past, Roth would consider himself a hard man to love. Itâs a darn good thing Tressa doesnât see it this way. Nothing can break down barriers quicker than love. Just wait and see...
I hope you enjoy Tressa and Rothâs love story just as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Until next time, HAPPY READING!
Love and light,
Joy

Roth Lexington leaned against the banister of the upper-level balcony inside The Underground Jazz HouseâThe Underground, for shortânursing a glass of bourbon. The amber liquid had always been his drink of choice, ever since heâd taken his first sip at thirteen. âItâll make you a man,â heâd been told. He was definitely a man, but he wasnât sure the bourbon had anything to do with it.
Taking a swig, he savored the earthy notes. A fire flared in his chest, but it wasnât from the whiskey. This inferno ignited from envy. With a tight jaw, he observed the partygoers below. He soaked in their laughs, their smiles, their congratulatory hugs and handshakes for the future bride and groom.
Normally, nothing soothed him like a smooth beverage and the silky sounds of jazz, but neither did much for him now. And he knew why. The reason stood several feet below him in the form of the sexiest woman in the room. Also, the guest of honor at this engagement party heâd reluctantly attended.
