Here's a blurb and excerpt from Seattle Delight
Charly’s life was simple and uncomplicated, just like she
wanted it. Or so she thought! One chance encounter with a devilishly
handsome stranger in her local coffee shop would turn her world, and her heart,
upside down. She would be thrown into a realm
of privilege and romance, and more than just a little danger.
How will she handle the dark gorgeous man who has inserted
himself into her domain? When danger
threatens those she loves, will she have the strength of heart and spirit to do
whatever it takes to save them? Share Charly’s
adventures as she navigates through the quickly changing landscape that has
become her life.
“Hey, watch it,” Charly said as someone bumped her
table and precious drops of the caffeine laced fuel danced across the
table. She couldn’t afford to lose a
microgram of caffeine. Not today – well not any day! Considering she’d written two lines and a
finished first draft of her book was due in two months, she knew she was in a
world of hurt.
Charly turned to see who had been so rude. Okay, as a romance writer it was Charly’s job
to write about hunks but what she saw before her left her breathless. Looking at her with Caribbean Sea blue eyes,
copper skin, and dark hair falling in waves to the top of his shoulders was a
God.
“Pardon, I am so sorry,” he said in a deep, richly
accented voice bowing his head in her direction.
His eyes – those incredible blue eyes were
intently focused on Charly making her feel self-conscious. Charly regretted that she hadn’t taken more
care with her appearance this morning.
Her damp hair was a mass of unruly curls, her face devoid of makeup with
the exception of a dab of lip-gloss.
Charly rested her chin in her right hand appreciating the view before
her until she laid a finger on her upper lip.
Panic rose within her; she felt it and if he noticed it she would be
mortified. Damn, why hadn’t she waxed
her mustache last night? Why did women
get mustaches in the first place? It’s not like we don’t have enough to worry
about.
This is my favorite excerpt so far. Love the mustache dilemma.
