Blurb
Adam
Pallas knows what he wants out of life—to teach history, to be
happy and to have a hot woman by his side. He’s got one out of the
three. He should be happy, but he’s not. There’s one woman who
grabs his attention every time. The catch? She’s very much out of
his league. Can being himself actually snag him the woman of his
dreams?
Melissa
Murphy isn’t looking for love, but every time she sees Adam her
plans go sideways. The English teacher knows there’s a confident,
hot man hiding behind the slightly nerdy history buff façade. But
her past and the things she wants between the sheets tend to scare
men off. She believes the odds may be stacked against them. Could it
be their lives are perfectly written together after all?
Excerpt
Her
thoughts drifted to Adam. He tried so hard to please people and
deserved a happy ending. The image of him when he’d stood up before
the run remained in her brain. She shouldn’t be thinking about the
outline of his junk in those shorts, but damn. He sure seemed to be
packing. She liked the way she felt in his arms, too. The right
height, the right build…and his smile. He’d brought up her ex.
Thinking about Kevin set her teeth on edge. Smug bastard. He always
seemed to think he knew the right thing to say and do. Except he
didn’t know a damn thing.
“You
look lost in serious thought.” Adam stood in her doorway. “You
okay?”
She
jerked in her seat. “I didn’t hear you.” This time she blushed.
“I’m fine.”
He
nodded once, then folded his arms. For the first time, she noticed
the muscle definition in his biceps. Given a tight T-shirt and jeans,
he’d be darned hot. She shivered. Real hot.
“We’ve
got a meeting in ten. Dennis wanted to introduce the new teachers. We
just have to fill the space.”
“You
don’t need the word just.” She took her glasses off the top of
her head and stood, then stretched. “It’s redundant.”
“Thank
you, Miss Murphy.” He unfolded himself. “Do I need to do time in
detention?”
Man,
did he know how to read her without even realizing he could. She
crossed the room and stood face-to-face with him. “Mr. Pallas, are
you coming on to me?”
The
tips of his ears burned, but the grin deepened. “Yes, I believe I
was. Is it working?”
“It
is.”

Thanks for hosting me today, Lisabet. I always love coming to your blog! For the readers, what's your favorite steamy trope in books?
Hi, Wendy!
This sounds like a great read. I love the cover -- the woman just exudes self-confidence.
I have to agree Lisabet. :-)
