Blurb:
Arin Walters decides that after
ending her long-term relationship with her cheating boyfriend, she needs a
vacation in the Montana mountains. She packs her fly-fishing gear and heads off
for a week of relaxation and emotional healing.
Brent and Jared have been best
friends since childhood. The abuse they suffered as children binds them
together. They want a woman to share and build a life with but they’ve been
burned in the past.
When Arin shows up at their
fishing lodge, sparks fly and all three feel the beginning of something they
crave—acceptance and love. Now they must hope that the passion between them is
enough to help them leave the past behind.
Excerpt:
She was still staring when two
large hands ran down her arms. A squeak escaped her before she could swallow
the sound, and she shivered. She turned just in time to find Jared’s face lit
with a wolfish grin. He tried to hide it behind a cough but she had seen the
sensual look shimmering in his eyes.
A trickle of apprehension
wormed through her thoughts. What was she getting herself into? She shouldn’t
have started the flirting thing with this man. He oozed sex and even his
innocent looks weren’t so innocent. Maybe he flirts with all women. Of
course he does. Now what if he thought she was going to hop into bed with
him this week? Was she really willing to do that? On one hand she seriously
wanted to. On the other was the reserved, scared Arin who hadn’t been with
anyone other than Robert.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare
you.” He didn’t mean a single word and she knew it. With a chuckle, he turned
her toward the window again and stood close behind her. She could feel his body
heat radiating against her back. It would only take a slight lean, an
itsy-bitsy move, for her to be flush against his chest. She felt his breath
stir the hairs at the back of her neck as he whispered, “It’s beautiful, isn’t
it?”
“Um…yes, it is.” She sidled
away from him and tried not look as if she was retreating. The knowing smile
that played across his lips made it obvious that she didn’t hide it well.
“Do you want to see your room
or find Brent first?”
“I’d like to see my room first,
I think. And honestly, I’d like to grab a snack. I had a little something in
Denver but I was too nervous to eat a proper lunch.” She finally got around to
observing the rest of the floor plan. A few doors led off into unknown areas of
the building, but the thing that caught her eye was the spiral staircase that
was partially hidden behind a large bookcase. She turned questioning eyes
toward Jared. “Cool staircase—where does it lead?”
“That, my dear, goes to the den
of debauchery, better known as the staff quarters.” He laughed. “You won’t get
to see those rooms unless we become much friendlier in the next few days.”
He turned and walked toward the
other side of the room, turning just in time to catch her watching his ass. A
grin spread across his face before he pointed through one of the doorways.
“Come on—I’ll give you the doorway tour and show you to your room.”
She scampered after him, trying
in vain to look as if she’d meant to get caught staring at his behind, again.
The perpetual blush she’d sprouted the first moment she met him must be
glaringly obvious. She hoped that a quick shower and a mental talking-to would
get her mind and body to cooperate. She couldn’t deal with five days of
continual embarrassment.
About Lea Barrymire
Lea lives in Western New York
with her hubby, three children, and miscellaneous critters. Before the rugrats,
she lived a life of adventure, following her husband all over Europe with the
US military. She’s slept in a car outside Paris, drove six hours just to see
tulips in the Netherlands, and knocked ash from her shoes at Pompeii. Now she
spends her time in life’s adventures at soccer games, PTA meetings and school
plays.
Lea has loved reading from a
very young age, spending many sleepless nights devouring books. Science fiction
and paranormal were her favorite genres to read as a teenager, and that love
bled into her adult life. She started writing during a bout of insomnia, to
fill time, and found it filled a creative void. Now she communes regularly with
the characters in her head and tries not to laugh out loud when they say
something funny.
When Lea isn’t reading, writing
or corralling kids, she enjoys watching movies and sciencey shows, or just
kicking back and listening to some music.
