Blurb:
If up and coming realtor Holly Grant can buy Turnaround Farm for her client, her business will boom. Who says you have to have a man in your life to complete you? She’s fine as she is thank you very much. Her first problem is that Jeb Wakefield doesn’t want to sell his farm, and her second problem is Jeb’s grandson Dan, the finest looking man Holly’s ever seen.
Excerpt: Chapter One
Last week
Loretta’s tone turned serious as her cold feet met Holly’s. “It’s okay to be attracted to him, you know. He’s a handsome man, and being a business woman doesn’t mean you have to give up all interest in the opposite sex."
Holly refused to answer, so Loretta soon turned over, gave a little snort, and fell asleep.
How does she do that? My mind’s going in circles thinking about Dan Wakefield because...because he’s so...sexy, she admitted, alarmed at the direction her thoughts had taken. Her face burned in the dark as she imagined how it might feel to kiss him. His lips looked just right for kissing.

Uneasily, she flipped over in the bed. His shirt was awful, though.
This Week: We're picking up where we left off last week.
She imagined herself unbuttoning Dan’s flannel shirt and took firm rein on her libido. She hadn’t built Grant Realty into a thriving enterprise by acting like a sex- starved old maid. If you give your heart to another person,you deserve all the hurt you’ll get. If it kills me, I’m going to sleep. It took a while, but Holly finally dropped into an uneasy slumber.

Across the hall, Dan turned over yet again and stifled a groan when he thought of Holly Grant sleeping in the next room. Hard, physical labor usually made it easy for him to fall asleep, but tonight he imagined that even through two closed doors, he could still smell the faint, subtle floral fragrance of her perfume.
She was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.Tall too. He could kiss her by simply lowering his head.

This snippet is exciting with romance. More, I want more.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great comparison of thoughts . . . and libidos. These two cautious souls are ripe for risk taking.
ReplyDeleteI quite enjoyed reading the thoughts of both characters today, like mirror images of desire - very amusing! Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteThese two have got it bad for each other. Love this!
ReplyDeleteJuxtaposing their sleepless nights works wonderfully well in this passage.
ReplyDeleteTwo people fraught with restlessness and hunger for each other sleeping across the hall from each other. I wonder which one will move first. Great sexual tension.
