WhiteOut
Welcome to the Scintillating Sunday Blog Hop where multiple romance and erotic romance authors share 8 paragraphs of their work to tempt and tantalize. Today we're peeking inside the bestselling romantic suspense novel, WhiteOut.
Excerpt...
"I want what you want,"
she admitted with a crooked grin. "That's another true thing for your
list. I'm thankful that you convinced me to go to the hot springs with you. I
loved it...kissing you, making out, getting wild, relaxing, drinking whiskey in
the dark, kissing you again."
"That was only phase one." He dropped his hand to her thigh
and squeezed. "I'd hoped phases two and three of our date would bring
more kissing, etcetera."
She laced her fingers through his
and sighed. "I'm not exactly dating material, Ryan. I need to go."
He leaned across the seat and
kissed her. Hard. Hand at the back of her head and the other on her thigh, he
kissed her breathless until she moaned in surrender.
"I'll back out of here, take
you to dinner, pretend we didn't see them," he whispered against her lips.
"Come with me, Brandi."
"Tempting," she curled
her fingers into the material of his shirt beneath the jacket, "but I need
to go."
"Don't do it, Brandi, don't say good-bye, not yet. Stay with me."
"That's not how this works, Cowboy." She pushed away, grabbed her bag, looked toward the sheriff waiting on her porch, and jumped from the jeep before he could convince her to believe in miracles.
From the back cover...
She's been erased.
As a protected witness, Brandi
Simms has given up everything that made her unique to start over in Steamboat
Springs, Colorado. Blending into the background isn't easy, but it's vital for
survival. When her handsome yet incorrigible neighbor—former Olympic skier
turned cowboy—decides her aloof attitude is a challenge rather than a
deterrent, she knows the only right thing to do is resist.
The secrets she hides are deadly.
Ryan Landry isn't accustomed to rejection.
Three-time Olympic Gold Medalist, he's the local hero who came home to run a
ranch and be near his family. The mysterious neighbor who seems content to hang
out with dogs rather than humans haunts his fantasies and ignites that
competitive drive that led him to the world stage.
He's not one to give up.
When her dangerous past catches up
to Brandi, Ryan is determined to break through her secrets to find the truth no
matter what the cost. Trapped in a whiteout blizzard with unseen threats
lurking in the snow, will they get a chance to create a new beginning or will
Brandi's past be the death of them?
