READ THE BLURB
When a gypsy caravan-style truck breaks down at Martha's curbside, the last thing Zach Barret needs is an impulsive pixie rocking his boat. The more determined he is to stay away from the free-spirited, green-eyed nomad, the more he finds one kiss is not enough. Uncovering Alice York's secrets in paintings of empty swings and merry-go-rounds puts a new priority in the top spot on his short list. But can he convince this stunning woman to park her truck permanently in his drive?
READ AN EXCERPT
Zach turned his attention to Alice. Unfortunately he hadn't put his best foot forward when he'd first encountered the foxy owner of the Ford. “Where were you headed when your fuel pump gave out?”
“Longview, Washington. Got a job there.”
“What kind of job, if you don't mind me asking?”
“I don't mind.” She nestled her chin in the palm of her hand, the sparkle in her eyes snapping with wry humor. “I work on classic cars.”
Remembering his first sight of her, he asked, “You're a mechanic?”
“Does that surprise you?”
The subtle scent of vanilla coming from her side of the table sent rational thought on a long hike in the opposite direction from practical reason. It was a good thing he was a grown man who had the power to stand up to steamy distractions.
“No.” The stranger his granddad and Lucy had invited to stay in their basement, who said she slept in her truck when it broke down, could be anything from a burglar to a most wanted criminal.
Stunning green eyes studied him. The punch to his gut wasn't that unpleasant.
Everything about the woman, the cut of her short, wispy, strawberry-blonde hair, the flowery dress that snuggled close to curves he couldn't help noticing, the energetic wave of slender hands when she talked with Lucy, all suggested an impulsive pixie who liked rocking the boat. He didn't like his boat rocked.

Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for having me. I appreciate the opportunity to be here. Off to write a few words :)
ReplyDeleteIs there a certain type of scene that's harder for you to write than others? Love? Action? Racy?
ReplyDeleteHi Mai :) Transitions scenes (when you want readers to follow the characters from one scene to the next, either location or a time break - my friend, author Wendy Warren does this extremely well), and racy scenes. My editor always points her red pen at me, with a lecture about making sure there's an emotion payoff for the reader. I like that about her. She keeps me honest :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the post and the giveaway!
