Saturday Sample: The Captain and the Cheerleader

Welcome to Saturday Sample. Since I have a new release I guess I don't have to tell you what I'll be sharing from today. Let me give you a blurb and then we'll pick up where we left off last week. If you decide you'd like to read the book, email me your receipt, and I'll offer free electronic copies of Her Kind of Man up to fifty copies.

Blurb:
Susan English can’t stand Robin Lanford! She’s so full of herself she irritates everyone on the faculty of Fairfield High. When Robin bets Susan fifty dollars that she can’t get a date with Kurt Deveraux, the head football coach, Susan jumps at the chance to put the little heifer in her place. She had no idea that teaching Robin a lesson would irrevocably change her life, strain treasured friendships, and throw two families into chaos.

Excerpt:

Kurt left the faculty lounge and joined the football team for its traditional pre-game meal. He filled his plate from the buffet and sat down beside his longtime friend and fellow coach, Jason Cooper. Jason had been his best friend ever since they were in Mrs. Turner’s first grade class at Fairfield Elementary.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you?” demanded Jason. He dug his elbow into Kurt’s side when Kurt failed to reply to his question about the night’s strategy. “You’re a million miles away.”

“Sorry. I was thinking about what happened in the lounge a minute ago.” 

“What happened?”

“Susan English gave me a compliment.”

Jason laughed. “Did she try to have her way with you?” he teased. “I’ve got my share of female admirers, buddy, but something about you drives women wild. Even Mrs. Kirby melts when you go through the lunch line, and everyone knows she’s as tough as nails.”
