No more wedding marches for her!
Wedding planner Roxie Honeycutt can make happy-ever-after come true for anyone except herself. Freshly divorced and done with love, she's okay with watching clients walk down the aisle. What's not okay? Sharing a charming Victorian house with accountant Byron Strong. He's frustratingly sexy and determined to keep her confused.
Roxie thought Byron's expertise was numbers, yet somehow he sees her for who she really is. Somehow he understands the hurt she hides behind a trademark smile. Suddenly romance is tempting again, even if it means risking another heartbreak.

EXCERPT
“What was wrong with the old Roxie?”
His words stuck with her. And his kiss.
It was difficult to forget a kiss like that, especially coming from someone…well, someone like Byron. Roxie had spent more time than she’d like to admit trying not to think about the kiss – about how sweet it was. She’d forgotten kisses could be so sweet. She’d tried extra hard to forget how his lips had lingered. And how in lingering he’d awakened starbursts inside her. Starbursts of eternity.
She frowned deeply. Being touched…it had been so long since she had really been touched. The hollowness in her had turned into a resounding ache, and for a few moments she’d thought about bringing Byron’s mouth back down to hers. For a few moments, she’d craved more than his companionship. She’d craved the contact. The promise of heat that came with it.
But had she wanted it – had she wanted him – for the single reason that heat could erode loneliness? There was trust there. There was affection. For those small starbursts of eternity, there had been longing and the promise of flame. It had been too long since she’d felt the sheer, electrical pulse of new chemistry.
Why had Byron’s kiss made it seem like so long since she’d felt the flame? The passion?

Good luck everyone!
I have a question is your husband as big a book lover as you and does he read your books?
ReplyDeleteI think my husband would agree that I'm book lover enough for the both of us. Between me and the kiddies, we have books enough to start a city library, lol. Yes, he does read my work and was one of the first to encourage me to pursue writing as a career!
DeleteWho are some of your favorite romance authors that inspire you?
ReplyDeleteI love Anne Lamont, Harper Lee, Nora Roberts, Diana Gabaldon and Paullina Simons!
DeleteIf your book was to be made into a movie, which actor/actress would you like to see playing the lead characters?
ReplyDeleteSolange, I'm not sure. It's difficult to imagine my characters portrayed as anyone but themselves. Byron has kind of a Luke Evans vibe while Roxie is more Susan from Desperate Housewives.
DeleteI liked the excerpt, thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you enjoyed it, Rita!
DeleteThis sounds great love the excerpt.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it, jean602!

HIS REBEL HEART

did anyone inspire your characters?
ReplyDeleteWigget, the dynamic between the characters - the optimist vs the cynic - and their living situation was conceived from living with my cynical soouse for 12+ years, lol
DeleteSounds like a great story. Enjoyed the excerpt.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marcy!

DeleteAmber, Who or what inspired you to become a writer and how would you say it made your life different?
ReplyDeleteAmber, do you like to listen to music when you write, or do you have to have quiet?
