Description:
For the next eleven days all Amelia Adler wants is a
nice relaxing vacation on the beach. All she’ll do is drink pineapple
margaritas and read sexy steamy romance novels. She doesn’t want to think about
the stress of her daily life nor the fact that she doesn’t know what to do with
her life.
Craig Patrice just wants to spend his last spring
break catching wave after waves during the day in the Pacific Ocean, and relax
as much as he can at night. This is his last break before finishing law school and
starting at a firm this upcoming summer. He has no desire for a fling or a
girlfriend. All he wants is to buckle down and finish this year off right. That
is until he gets a glimpse of his vacationing neighbor, and for the life of
him, he can’t look away.
Though Craig and Amelia are somewhat reluctant for a
relationship, they seem to find comfort in one another and can’t let go of each
other. Finding romance on vacation is one thing, but can their relationship
withstand the demand of real life and once their past catches up with them will
believing in each other’s truth save their future.
Excerpt:
Cory is frantically
trying to usher the squirrel off his lap and trying not to scream making his
face red in the process. Ben and Craig simply gather their food closer to them
and keep eating. Feeling a little shocked by their lack of action and help, I
rush over, with some bread. Trying to bribe the squirrel away from Cory. Cory
stands up and tries to shoo the squirrel off with one hand and the other
raising his sandwich high in the air, but the squirrel only clings to his shirt
and climb up to his shoulder.
“If you stop moving, maybe I can get him off you.” I try
to hurry after Cory, chasing him as he flails around slowly.
“It’s fine, I just can’t lower my
sandwich, or he’ll get it,” Cory says, shifting back and forth.
“Just give up your sandwich!”
“No! It’s myyyyyy sandwich! You hear
that squirrel? MINE!”
“Let me get the trail mix, maybe
tha…”
“No! That’s my snack woman!”
“Give up your snack, or he’s going
to eat off your face!”
“I’ve had my SHOTS!” Cory screeches. The squirrel
scratches at the arm holding the sandwich high in the air.
“Here squirrelly, you can have my some of my cashews,
here squirrelly…” I hold out some cashews in my hand. The squirrel actually
takes a second to decide whether to continue his attack or go for the nuts. The
nuts win.
I go back to table. “I can’t believe you guys just sat
there while he was attacked by a squirrel!”
“Amelia, you think that’s the first
time something like that happened?” Ben asks seriously.
“After you’ve been stampeded in the middle of the night
by a mama deer and her fawns because he packed food in his sleeping bag, you
learn to let him fend for himself,” Craig says while he lightly rubs his left
shoulder as if the memory brought back a phantom pain.
I laugh at the idea.
“You think it’s funny?! Pay attention to all the other
critters that will appear once they smell Cory coming,” Ben states.
“I can’t believe she gave away some
nuts,” Cory pouts.
“Better than you losing yours,” I
smirk.
“I could hold my own.”
“Against a squirrellll…” I deadpan. Craig laughs, pulling
me next to him and places a kiss on the side of my head. The comfort level that
I’m finding naturally with him is both alarming and calming at the same time. I
sigh contentedly as I lean into him.
