New Romance Release - Trust with Hearts
by Kelli A. Wilkins
Hi romance lovers,
I’m pleased to announce the release of my contemporary
romance novel, Trust with Hearts. The
hero is a sexy cowboy-like country music singer who gets involved with a
young woman trying to put her life together after a bad break-up.
Here’s the book summary, links, and a tame excerpt:
Trust with Hearts
After a bitter breakup,
Sherrie Parker seeks refuge at her cousin Dave’s house in rural West Virginia.
Early one morning, she runs into Dave’s other houseguest, a singer named Curtis
Taylor. The last thing Sherrie wants is to share living quarters with a country
music crooner – even if he is sexy, in a cowboy sort of way.
Thrown together by
circumstances, Sherrie and Curtis get off to a rocky start, but soon discover
they have more in common than they ever imagined. Unable to fight their growing
attraction, they give in to their desires and start a sizzling summer romance.
Everything is perfect between
them until Sherrie discovers that Curtis is keeping secrets from her – and his
biggest secret of all will change everything. Can their newfound love survive,
or will destiny keep them apart forever?
Here’s
a tame excerpt from Trust with Hearts:
“I told Sherrie to work things out with
you. She seemed fine with it,” Dave said as he stirred a pot of spaghetti sauce
on the stove.
Curtis carried the supper dishes to the
table. “Yeah, well, that sure changed fast.”
He set Sherrie’s plate close to Dave’s.
The round table would fit the three of them fine, but he didn’t want to get too
close to Sherrie. He didn’t need to start a new fight with her when they hadn’t
finished the old one yet.
“She came down to the cottage blaming me
because she couldn’t sleep. I coulda let that go, until she insulted my music…
again,” he added. “Did you tell her about me?”
Dave sprinkled black pepper into the
spaghetti sauce. “Of course not. All she knows is you’re staying here and
working on your music. I didn’t mention anything about,” he paused and looked
toward the kitchen doorway, “CJ, or the hospital. If you decide to tell her,
that’s up to you.”
“I doubt that’s gonna happen, seeing how
she feels about country music,” he replied as he arranged silverware next to
the plates. “You know I rarely offer up opinions, Dave, but your sweet-lookin’
Yankee cousin’s—”
He stopped as he saw Sherrie standing in
the doorway. “Oh Lord.”
“His Yankee cousin’s… what?”
He breathed a sigh of relief. At least
Sherrie hadn’t heard him call her sweet-lookin’. He glanced at her out of the
corner of his eye. Truth be told, Sherrie was sweet-looking.
Waves of chestnut-colored hair framed
her oval face. Her almond-shaped brown eyes were draped with long lashes, she
had a kissable, rosebud mouth, and from what he’d seen of her this morning,
Sherrie was curvy in all the right places. Too bad she acted so moody.
He stared into her eyes for a full
fifteen seconds. His piercing baby blues were capable of rendering women
speechless. They had the power to charm, as well as disarm, anyone.
Sherrie shifted her gaze to the floor
and he smirked. Direct eye contact had done the trick. Sherrie might have lots
of fight, but she had nothing to back it up.
“Ornery,” he answered. “I was about to
say ‘ornery’.”
Dave banged the wooden spoon on the edge
of the pot, breaking the tension in the room. “Sher, I thought you were gonna
apologize to Curtis.”
“I did, but then His Royal Majesty
dismissed me.”
Curtis moved back as Sherrie strode past
him and yanked the refrigerator open. She stuck her head inside and rummaged
around.
He took advantage of the opportunity and
admired the way her denim shorts clung to her backside. A tingle spread through
his groin as he envisioned running his hands up the back of her smooth thighs.
He turned his head as she took out the pitcher of sweet tea.
“What were you looking at?”
“Nothin’.” Why did he feel compelled to
touch her? It must be hormones, he reasoned. The last thing he needed was to
get involved with a Yankee woman who hated him on sight. He scratched his chin
and chuckled. Now there was a switch. Women all over the world would pay a
fortune to spend five minutes in the same room with him, and yet Sherrie
despised him.
“What’s so funny?” she asked.
“Nothin’.”
“Bull.” Sherrie sat at the table and
poured herself a glass of tea.
He rolled his eyes. Naturally, she had
taken his seat. He wouldn’t protest. Sherrie was Dave’s cousin, and he’d been
raised to respect women—even stubborn Yankee women.
