Reflected in You

Sylvia Day, 2012

Romance Contemporary fiction

A month into an affair neither of them knows how to conduct, two badly damaged people try to hold each other without first fixing themselves. Manhattan, money, appetite. The voice is intimate and heated, moving quickly through longing, Manhattan luxury, and raw emotional conflict.

Feels like longing. About love and death.

Why read it

It gives you a close, charged look at two people trying to love each other before they have healed, with the pull of desire and the cost of old wounds.

A page from the book

The difference between wanting someone and needing them.

I pulled in a slow and shaky breath. I was completely seduced by the smoldering look in his eyes, the provocative tone of his voice, the heat of his body, and the mouthwatering scent of his skin. He was my drug, and I had no desire to kick the habit.

    I would do anything for you.” His eyes locked onto mine in the dashboard lights, intense and a little hurt. “What is it going to take for you to believe me? To trust me? You want my background checked? Do it. You want my credit score? Awesome. My bank account? I’ll add you on. You have my word, my body, my time, and I’m standing here offering my last name. What else can I give you?
