GENRE: Contemporary Romance

BLURB:
Michael
Malone has everything a man could want: money, success, looks, even an
apartment in New York City. He had never planned on going back to Gray Harbor,
but his mother needed him. And there was no way he would ever stay in Maine. At
least that’s how he felt before Beth Adams. The talented chef is nothing like
what he thought he needed, but now she’s all he can think about.
Then trouble at work pulls him back
to the city and back into the life he worked so hard to build. And while it no
longer seems to be everything Michael wants anymore, he can’t simply leave
everything he knows behind. Or can he?

EXCERPT
“Time
really flies when I’m with you,” he said. “It’s already eleven thirty. I need
to head back and go visit my father at the hospital.”
He
looked serious for a moment and then his face brightened. “This has been really
nice. I’m really looking forward to Sunday. Dress casual. We aren’t going
anywhere fancy for our lunch but I think you’ll like it.”
He
offered her his hand so she could get up, too. She took it and they both
climbed the boulders together. When they reached the top, Beth stumbled and
Michael caught her, and then he did a very unprofessional thing. He looked in
her eyes and kissed her on the lips.
His
lips were soft and his arms strong around her. She forgot her surroundings.
“Goodbye,
see you Sunday!” And with that he ran off.
Beth
just stood there dumfounded as he ran off. What just happened? Did he really
just kiss her? She began jogging back to the Warren Inn with a stupid smile on
her face. Even though she was feeling really cautious about this whole thing,
maybe she shouldn’t. Maybe she should just live in the moment and enjoy Michael
while he was here. It wasn’t often she met a man with whom she shared such
mutual attraction, intense chemistry, and great conversations. Maybe she should
just go for it?
Although
she had no problem taking risks with her cuisine, with her business, or even at
times with her own personal fashion, she had always guarded herself when it
came to men.
