When a gypsy
caravan-style truck breaks down at Martha's curbside, the last thing Zach
Barret needs is an impulsive pixie rocking his boat. The more determined he is
to stay away from the free-spirited, green-eyed nomad, the more he finds one
kiss is not enough. Uncovering Alice York's secrets in paintings of empty
swings and merry-go-rounds puts a new priority in the top spot on his short
list. But can he convince this stunning woman to park her truck permanently in
his drive?
Zach turned his attention to
Alice. Unfortunately he hadn't put his best foot forward when he'd first
encountered the foxy owner of the Ford. “Where were you headed when your fuel
pump gave out?”
“Longview, Washington. Got a job
there.”
“What kind of job, if you don't
mind me asking?”
“I don't mind.” She nestled her
chin in the palm of her hand, the sparkle in her eyes snapping with wry humor.
“I work on classic cars.”
Remembering his first sight of
her, he asked, “You're a mechanic?”
“Does that surprise you?”
The subtle scent of vanilla
coming from her side of the table sent rational thought on a long hike in the
opposite direction from practical reason. It was a good thing he was a grown
man who had the power to stand up to steamy distractions.
“No.” The stranger his granddad
and Lucy had invited to stay in their basement, who said she slept in her truck
when it broke down, could be anything from a burglar to a most wanted
criminal.
Stunning green eyes studied him.
The punch to his gut wasn't that unpleasant.
Everything about the woman, the
cut of her short, wispy, strawberry-blonde hair, the flowery dress that
snuggled close to curves he couldn't help noticing, the energetic wave of
slender hands when she talked with Lucy, all suggested an impulsive pixie who
liked rocking the boat. He didn't like his boat rocked.
Susan is an award winning,
multi-published traditional and Indie author. Her debut novel, Oops…We’re
Married? was a Reader’s Choice nominee and Holt Medallion Finalist. She
describes herself first and foremost as a wife, mother, sister, daughter,
friend, dreamer, and novelist. An ardent student of human nature who loves
ancient history and myth, she didn't grow up planning to be a writer. That didn’t
come until much later, after her first publication – a little known article for
Listen Magazine titled, Jessie’s Choice.
Other things you should know: Susan is
the oldest child of a military family. She’s traveled to many places over the
years, but has never been to Ireland, Paris, or Crete, an omission she hopes to
someday correct. Her favorite places in the world are New York City, Sedona
(Arizona), Ouray (Colorado), and Bath (England). And she believes the best
things in life come in unexpected packages. She writes whenever she can. In
between she works as a Registered Nurse, reads, gardens, takes lots of photos,
travels whenever the opportunity arises, and remodels her house. She LOVES
dragons. Currently she’s working on the next novel in her Dragonkind
Chronicles, and dreaming up a new contemporary romance.
