Today I have the fantastic release day blitz of CADE’S LOSS by Selena Laurence! Check it out and grab your copy today!
Nina Cline is on the mend. Her cheating fiance is in the rear view, and she's concentrating on her job as an organic certification consultant. Now that she's gained her independence, Nina will never make the mistake of giving it away again. Especially to some anonymous hookup she meets at a beachside bar...no matter how good he looks in the water. Then she meets her newest Big Sur client and realizes that the beach bum that curled her toes is her new boss—and he thinks “organic” is a dirty word.
As tensions, tempers, and chemistry reach a boiling point at the ranch, these two heartbroken souls will need to decide if they’re willing to take a chance again, or let the love of a lifetime slip away with the tide.
There was nothing that
soothed Cade’s battered soul more than the ocean. He’d been that way as long as
he could remember, spending every available moment at the beach, in the water,
following his dad from wave to wave until he’d been better on a board than the
old man. As he looked at the water now, he could almost see the outline of his
dad’s form, riding the long tail of a wave midway out, sun on his hair that was
the exact color of Cade’s, water spraying on his tan skin, weathered from the
years of being outdoors. The familiar ache that was his companion so much of
the last six years caught him like a hoof to the gut, and he swallowed, tasting
the lime and tequila in the back of his throat as he blinked the painful image
away.
And that was when he saw
her. She was leaning on the glass wall that ran along the edge of the deck, her
blonde curls blowing in the light breeze that came off the water. She had on a
sundress, white cotton, like a little girl’s, but it was backless, tiny straps
running over her slim shoulders, and with the sun shining through it, the long
skirt was nearly transparent. He could see enough to know that she was wearing
thong underwear or none at all, and that her legs were long and lean, curved in
all the right places.
Before he could think
about it, he’d snatched the other two shots off the bar and was walking toward
her, drawn like a moth to a flame, ready to incinerate himself for only a
moment of warmth. As he drew closer, he saw another man approaching from across
the deck. He gave the guy a hard look, and the dude stepped off, hands up to
communicate “no harm no foul.” Cade slid into position to her right and set the
shots down on the railing.
“Tequila?” he asked,
turning to look at her profile. She had high cheekbones, and her skin was dark
for a blonde, a beautiful golden shade that made her look like she’d walked off
the pages of a swimsuit magazine. Her nose was straight and small, turning up
ever so slightly on the end, but her lips were full, covered in some sort of peach
shiny stuff that Cade thought might taste quite good if he could lick it off
her.
She turned to look at him
when he spoke to her, and the breath was knocked clean out of him. Instead of
the standard blue eyes that he’d expect from a blonde, hers were amber, almost
glowing under the frame of thick black lashes. She blinked up at him, and
Cade’s sore heart gave a jolt that nearly had him gasping.
