Excerpt
I immediately feel as if this is the bookstore I’ve been searching for. I
push the door open at the same time someone on the inside is pulling it open.
It causes me to stumble, ungracefully I might add, into the chest of a
remarkably fit guy. Immediately I feel my face flush scarlet and try to step
back. His strong hands are flexing on my waist to steady me. I realize that I'm
shaking.
When my wits start to focus, I inhale and am assaulted by the most
sensual masculine scent I have ever smelt. It is like the smell of rain mixed
with laundry soap and desire. Okay. Maybe I am just smelling my own desire.
I’ve never been so insanely attracted to someone without even seeing his face.
That’s when I notice my hands have embedded themselves into his royal blue
shirt. I let go and take a step back. His hands drop to his sides and ball into
fists. He’s wearing some faded blue jeans that are just a little baggy and look
perfect on him. His shirt is form fitting, and if I hadn't already felt up his
chest and stomach, I would have noticed his abs through his shirt. My gaze
finally lands on his face, and all thoughts immediately vacate the area.
He has beautiful hazel eyes that could rival my own. They hold humor in
their depths. His lips are absolutely perfect. I just want to kiss them to see
if they were as soft as they look and run my fingers through his untamed black
hair. His face looks like it has been sculpted from marble, very tan marble.
His smile break whatever spell I was under, and I feel completely embarrassed.
I was caught checking him out. I don’t do that. What the hell is wrong with
me? Speak April. You look so stupid right now.
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to, umm, fall into you and, uh, mess up your
shirt.”
The smile gets bigger, and his eyes shine like there’s light behind them.
Electricity shoots through my body. Every molecule inside me is aware of his
proximity and wants to touch and caress him.
“No, I’m sorry. I was so busy talking to Gran that I got distracted, and
I wasn’t paying attention to see if someone was outside.”
His voice is a deep, seductive sound that oozes charm and confidence.
This is retarded. I’m having some intense feelings for this guy that I don’t
know and probably don’t have a chance in hell with.
“No harm done. Thanks for, umm, catching me?”
Why did I just phrase that as a question? I need to get away from this
guy; he’s making thinking extremely difficult. I try to step around him into
the store and stop dead in my tracks. This store is perfection. I guess pausing
makes him think I'm waiting for him to say something else.
“No problem at all.”
And just so you know what book you are looking for, this is what it looks like!
It's such a pretty cover, if you ask me. I cannot wait for the thirteenth to role around so I can purchase this book. I cannot wait to read it, and have it on my bookshelf!
Congratulations Dani! You've done it!
