GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Forced to flee her abusive ex, alone
with no support, Elle is determined to rebuild her life and protect her
five-year-old son. Not one to take the easy road, she opens a bookshop café,
but opening day almost ends in disaster. In the midst of this chaos, the last
thing she needs is a man as charming as George Jones getting in her way.
George has always been a sucker for
a damsel in distress, and Elle ticks all the boxes. But Elle's not interested
in being rescued by anyone, especially not him. She knows her taste in men
can't be trusted, but fighting George's charisma is harder than she expected.
And George, who is not one to ignore an itch, has found there's something about
Elle that's got under his skin.
When Elle's ex turns up to cause
trouble, George must overcome his boyish flirtatiousness if he's to convince
Elle to trust herself and let him into her life. But can Elle put her past
behind her before it overwhelms her present?
Author Note: This
is their first kiss. They’ve just come from an altercation with Elle’s ex and
she’s angry that George stepped in because it made matters worse. George is
trying to explain why he did what he did.
“I
said we were friends, didn’t I? I wouldn’t let any of my friends – Piper,
Imogen, Libby, Adrian, Chris – face what you’ve had to face alone. It’s not who
I am.”
“But
I asked you not to.”
He
nodded. “I know and I’m sorry I made it worse. I couldn’t stand by and watch
you face that bully by yourself. I care for you.” He brushed away the tear that
had escaped her eye. “I should have trusted you had everything under control.”
Her
anger deflated.
She
squeezed her eyes shut. She didn’t want this, this kindness, this caring, these
warm and contented feelings that were being stirred up inside her. She couldn’t
trust those. She’d felt those with Dean and she’d been oh so wrong about them.
But,
damn, she was tempted.
George
stepped closer, gathering her into his arms, and she didn’t resist. How could
she? She wanted to be able to lean on someone, even if only for a minute.
Giving
in to the temptation, Elle wrapped her arms around his waist and felt him
relax.
He
was as uncertain as she was.
That
made her smile.
George
stroked her back, sending lovely, shimmery warmth everywhere. She gave herself
a minute to enjoy it and then stepped back.
His
eyes captured her; something in them said he would protect her, that he cared
for her.
After
five years of having no one she could turn to for help, the invitation was
beyond enticing. She wanted someone she could rely on, someone she could talk
her worries over with, someone to just be there.
But
was she wanting too much?
George
watched her, waiting. He was letting her make the choice. He was giving the
power to her.
That
was what made her decision for her.
She
leaned forward and kissed him.

series.

organising social gatherings and educational opportunities for local authors.
She is an active volunteer for RWA, as a mentor for aspiring authors and the
reader judge coordinator.
When Claire’s not writing

also enjoys cards and board games.
