Imogen
Gorecki has a problem—her twin sister just got engaged, and guess who’s the
best man? That’s right, her scum-of-an-ex-boyfriend whom she caught cheating
with a bottle-blonde, with fake breasts and a stripper’s flexibility. There’s a
disturbing possibility her eyes will never recover.
Gen needs
a date for the engagement party, but finding Mr. Perfect in a time crunch is
proving impossible. Just when she’s about to give up, she face-plants into the
crotch of the sexiest guy she’s ever met.
Matt
Sesnick is everything Gen wants in a man —except he’s not interested in a
relationship. Can she convince Matt to take another shot at love, or will Gen’s
pregnant, hormonal older sister, her bridezilla twin, and all of her past Mr.
Wrongs get in the way of their happily-ever-after?
~~ Excerpt ~~
“You really should change that light bulb,” Matt said,
glancing around us.
“I know.” I pushed aside my wallet to dig to the bottom of my
oversized purse. “I kind of take for granted that this is supposed to be a safe
neighborhood.”
“Until an alien abducts you off your poorly lit porch.”
“Very funny.” I glanced up from my purse with a smile. “But
really, it’s late. You could have been home by now.”
“Gen, I’m glad to walk you to your door. I would have worried
about you if I hadn’t.”
I considered him as we stood there on my porch, the light
flickering above us. I didn’t want him to leave, but I didn’t know how to ask
him to stay. Maybe I could ask him in for a drink, though I’d already had
enough.
But I have those cupcakes…
Yeah. I could offer him cupcakes. They weren’t his favorite,
chocolate with sprinkles, but yellow cake with milk chocolate frosting had to
be a close second, right? Hadn’t he said a cupcake will fix everything?
“I’m really glad we went out tonight.” His voice made me jump
and I dropped the keys. We both bent to pick them up at the same time and
bumped foreheads.
“Sorry,” he said.
“It’s okay, I’m fine.” I clasped my forehead and laughed.
Probably, I sounded hysterical. Like a rabid hyena. I couldn’t even look him in
the eye when I took the keys from him. “Thanks for inviting me. I had a lot of
fun tonight.”
“Me too,” he said.
I put the key into the lock, turning it slowly as I struggled
with what to do about him and my out of control libido. Unlocking my door hadn’t
given me enough time to figure things out, though, so I tried to prolong
sliding the patio door open. That didn’t take long either, and I hesitated in
the doorway, still unsure. I opened my mouth to ask him in, but nothing came
out. So I stepped backward through the doorway, my gaze glued to his. After a
moment, he followed me inside, part of his face lost in shadows.
Time stood still. My tongue darted out to lick my lips, and I
lifted up onto my toes as he lowered his head to meet me halfway. The smell of
his cologne surrounded me and my eyes drifted shut. He grasped me loosely
around my back, pulling me close, sending shivers coursing through my body. His
breath caressed my skin, his lips just a whisper away from mine, and my lips
parted…
~~ Excerpt ~~
“Gennie-bear, you want another bite of this cupcake? You can
use my fork,” Brent said and held it out to me. With his saliva on it.
I had no idea where his mouth had been lately. Gross.
I shook my head. “Uh, no thanks. I’m good. I’ll get another
fork.” I said and shoved my chair back so hard it made a loud, screeching noise
across the floor. I smiled an apology before I escaped and wondered how I could
prolong the simple task of retrieving a fork.
I took my time at the counter talking to Melanie about the
weather, about cupcake batter and about where she got her plastic forks,
anything to delay my return to the table. When Lexie sent me the twin death
glare, I sighed and went back to the table.
Brent had eaten half of my Lemon Drop cupcake.
“That one was really good,” he said and sent me a sparkly
smile.
I almost stabbed him with my fork, but the bell above the
door jingled and I looked up to see Matt standing there.
The light flooding through behind him tipped his dark hair in
gold. I nearly sighed. Was it weird I thought I heard sirens and angels
singing? There he was, my knight in shining armor, saving me again. I threw the
fork down and bounded from my chair. It tipped backward, but the sound of it
crashing to the floor was muffled as everything else faded to the background. I
rushed into his arms and he caught me to his chest with a deep laugh and it
reverberated through my body like a bass drum. His arms circled around me,
wrapping me in his warmth and I breathed in the scent of him, my face feeling
like it might crack with my smile.
His cheek rested against my temple and I sighed, content.
Would my heart ever stop racing when my eyes caught sight of him? I hoped not.
It was exhilarating and terrifying at the same time.
“You came,” I whispered, not willing to let him go.
“Did you doubt I would?” He dropped a kiss to the tip of my
nose, sending shivers down my spine, the butterflies knocking like mad into
each other inside my stomach.
~~ About the Author ~~
Niecey Roy knew she wanted to be a writer from a very young
age, but her moment of enlightenment came after watching the movie You’ve Got
Mail. It was then she realized her place in life, and happily parked her butt
on writing romance. Her dream was to create sexy vixens, hunky, half-naked
heroes, and above all, romance; lots and lots of butterflies in the belly,
breathless first kisses and happily-ever-afters.
Most days she can be found at home at a cluttered desk,
pounding her tired little fingers away on a keyboard with nothing but black
pepper flavored sunflower seeds and Visine as her weapons for
mass-romance-novel-creation. When her fingers need a break, you’ll find her at
a table with friends, drinking a few martinis and showing off a new pair of
(sometimes ridiculous) high heels. She’s usually the loudest at the table and
most often the one snorting with laughter.
Niecey is the author of Fender Bender
Blues, a contemporary romantic comedy published by The Wild Rose
Press. Her new novel to be released November 2013, Another Shot At
Love, is the first novel in the What’s Love??? series.
