BLURB:
The Fourth of July is over, but for these summer lovers the
fireworks have just begun.
An unexpected inheritance brings business consultant Christopher
Gordon from Los Angeles to quaint Falk’s Bend. He’s carved a week from his
demanding schedule to list his great-grandparents’ house for sale and explore
his roots. However, disturbing family secrets and the sweet temptation of
writer Margie Olsson derail his plans, challenging him to seize the elusive
dream missing from his hectic life — love.
A recent brush with death shook Margie’s life, but not her dreams
and she’s ready to move forward. Only, standing up to her loving,
over-protective family isn’t easy. Helping Christopher explore the derelict
mansion and unravel his grandmother’s mysterious past should be a harmless fun
taste of independence. But when her experimental summer fling ignites into
unexpected love, how can her small town dreams work with his big city life?

Excerpt:
Margie’s soft mouth and her kisses, as sweet and
shy as her voice, raised a tumult of unexpectedly intense and tender feelings.
And they’d just met.
Christopher groaned and wrenched his lips from
hers. “I should probably apologize,” he murmured against her cheek. He hadn’t
meant to kiss her, and he should get his hands off her. Now. But he held her
close, relishing the soft, fascinating warmth of her in his arms too much to be
sensible.
“Why?”
“I should have asked, or—” Or something.
“Truth? That was wonderful. And I would very much
like another.”
“Yes.” Yes, to both, for him as well.
Determined to prove himself a gentleman, he held
her lightly, taking only the kiss, sweet and slow and intense as the first.
But this kiss too had to end.
Christopher rested his forehead against hers. A big
mistake, that kiss, but incredible. A chuckle escaped him.
“What’s funny?”
“Just this day turned out so different than I
planned this morning.”
“For me, too. A far better day. Thank you.”
An out-of-left-field, disconcerting thought
clobbered him. “Shit.” He knew nothing about his roots here...He yanked his
hands away.
“What’s the matter?”
Feeling foolish, he had to ask. “We’re not related,
are we?” Be just his luck if she ended up being some sort of cousin...
Margie’s laughter rang out. “No, not at all.”
“Thank goodness.” Christopher shifted, hooking
thumbs into his pockets to keep his hands in check.
