We cleaned up the mess from dinner together. As I reached for the rinsed dish Gideon held out for me to put in the dishwasher, he faked me out. He grabbed my hand instead and deftly set the plate on the counter. Catching me around the waist, he spun us into a dance. From the living room, I caught the strains of something beautiful laced with a woman’s pure, haunting voice.
“Who is this?” I asked, already breathless from the feel of Gideon’s powerful body flexing against mine. The desire that always smoldered between us flared, making me feel vibrant and alive. Every nerve ending sensitized, preparing for his touch. Hunger coiled tight with heated anticipation.
“No clue.” He swept me around the island and into the living room.
I surrendered to his masterful lead, loving that dancing was a passion we shared and awed by the obvious joy he felt in just being with me. That same pleasure effervesced within me, lightening my steps until it felt like we were gliding. As we approached the sound system, the music rose in volume. I heard the words “dark and dangerous” in the lyrics and stumbled in surprise.
“Too much wine, angel?” Gideon teased, pulling me closer.
But my attention was riveted to the music. The singer’s pain. A tormented relationship she likened to loving a ghost. The words reminded me of the days I believed I’d lost Gideon forever and my heart ached.
I looked up into his face. He was watching me with dark, glittering eyes.
“You looked so happy when you were dancing with your dad,” he said, and I knew he wanted treasured memories like that between us.
“I’m happy now,” I assured him, even as my eyes stung at the sight of his yearning, a longing I knew intimately. If souls could be mated with wishes, ours would be inextricably entwined.
Cupping his nape, I pulled his mouth down to mine. As our lips touched, his rhythm faltered. He stopped; hugging me so tightly my feet left the floor.
Unlike the heartbroken singer, I wasn’t in love with a ghost. I was in love with a flesh and blood man, one who made mistakes but learned from them, a man who was trying hard to better himself for me, a man who wanted us to work as desperately as I did.
“I’m never happier than when I’m with you,” I told him.
“Ah, Eva.”
He took my breath away with his kiss.

Are you referring to the Indigo Girls song “Ghost”? Love this book series!
Yes! 🙂
Cool! Love that song!
OMG!!! cant wait to read the book!!!!!
@sylday:disqus merry cristmas and i wish u the best for 2013!!!!
Just finished reading bared and reflected – which means I am now completely addicted!! Counting down the days till May 7!!! 129 days to go…
My wish for 2013 would be to have this third book in English and Spanish at the same time. Pleaseeeee
I really think you should give us the first chapter preview, as you did before Reflect’s publishing…We were expecting Entwined in 2012 and May 7th is too far away 🙁
i don’t know why, but this passage seems like the epilogue…..
Thank you so much for this snippet, and please keep them coming!
Sylvia wishing a great New Year, filled with nothing but blessings and happiness.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for bring us the best story I have ever read. It beyond amazing!
I couldn’t wait for dec 31st to read this book and now I’m so sad that I have to wait until may, how disappointing. I was going to enjoy New Year’s Eve with entwined with you.
I cant wait for the book either, but I dont want the books to end…
These books are the first I have read of Silvia Day, and now I’m a fan for life… Seriously the best books I have ever read!!! Please, are there are any suggestions of which one of her books I should read next while I’m patiently waiting for the next crossfire book to come out. I’m compleatly addicted!!!
Keep them coming, I can’t wait!
Ahh, you are killing me, beautiful but so hard to wait until May. Thanks for this!! Great tease!!!
Thank you for the Christmas gift. I hope had a great Christmas also. I can’t wait for more.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you sooooooooooo much.
I don’t think I’ll be able to wait until May,.. but with this…. OH GOD!
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Hello Sylvia, I was wondering if you listen to various genres of music as I do. Anyway, there is a song recently released by Brian Culbertson, entitled “You’re My Music.” OMG it is a sultry love song that speaks to Gideon’s feelings for Eva. Also there is another called, In Your Hands by Jaheim. I just thought I would share.
This series is ADDICTIVE!!!!!! NEED MORE! I have had practically nothing to read since i finished Reflected in You!
She danced with her dad…….like a father daughter dance at aaaaa……….WEDDING?!?!? Did they get married and now hes trying to make memories for them??? I seriously can’t take this waiting!!! Please release before May 2013!!!!!
no… she danced with her father when he came to NY to visit her… she also invited Gideon and Ireland, and as they came into the appartement, Eva was dancing, singing and laughing with her dad
I am so happy that my friends said that I should start reading these books I read the 2 books in 4 days I was lost in their world my heat ached for them and I was left craving for more gideon and eva what a great author you are sylvia
I love it. Cant wait for the new book……….Thanks
Need your book now May yuk too long …keep them coming no pun
Amazing story line – loved it and can not wait to read the grand finale. Thank you for penning it down for our enjoyment.
i am definately going to have to read bared to you and reflected in you again probably twice over before entwined with you comes out….but your books are like disney films….i could read them over and over again and they will never get boring! Thank you! cant wait to read more of your books in the new year!
I cant wait for the 3rd book it is killing me I all read the 1st 2 I cant wait for may 7th I want the book now lol
love the snippets, cant wait for the book
I can’t believe that you are making me wait till 7th may before I get to read the 3rd book!!! I have pre ordered it. I hope they have a happy ending.
When is this book coming out Im totally in love with this series… Never stop it…
these snippets are great gifts to keep us thirsting for Gideon and Eva. Thanks for sharing but please keep writing to finish the book!

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. 🙂
Can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!
I just can’t wait for May..I am holding my breath ><
How do you get these snippets? Do i need to sign up for something so that I can see all the new snippets or do you just keep checking the website??
Amazing book…No matter how hard I try to distract myself by reading other books or try to get involved with other characters from other books…at the end of the day I still think about Eva and Gideon. I am 100% sure before the final book is released I will be rereading the first 2. I cant remember any of the previous books I have read leaving such an impression on me. Job well done Sylvia.
I would definitely read Seven Years to Sin and The Stranger I Married (in no particular order) and then check out the Georgian series that starts with Ask For It. Her historical fiction is really brilliant!
Historical – Love Pride and Pleasure!!!!
Where are snippets # 2-4? I just finished Bared and Reflected and I’m dying here for more. LOL
so curious about this —–> “…… one who made mistakes but learned from them, a man who was trying hard to better himself for me,…. ” i wanna learn more about Gideon. …. and I hope Evas’ character has gone mature in this book. The last 2 she is a bit bratty (although she loves Gideon for sure) and makes things so hard for Gideon, fortunately he is very much inlove to her. ..
Seriously, I cant’ wait to finally read this book, it always keeps me hanging..
Read “This Man” by Jodie Ellen Malpas
“Collide” by Gail McHugh
“Sin’s and Needle” Karina Halle
“Thoughtless Series” by S.C. Stephens
“Consequences” by Aleatha Romig
“Beauty from Pain”
These are all great books – I read. Loved it all.
