A Song for Sophie
by Mackenzie
Crowne
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Jobless,
practically homeless, and tired of being manless, Sophie Taylor jumps at the
chance to be Beaumont Walker’s personal assistant. Six weeks on the road with
country music’s bad boy—and, more importantly, his all-male crew—is the perfect
opportunity to change her life.
Beau
Walker doesn’t need any more distractions. Sophie, with her butt-ugly suits and
balls-to-the-wall attitude, shouldn’t be one, but she proves to be distracting
and more—even, surprisingly, a friend. So when he discovers her plan to snag a
man from his worldly wise crew, he’s determined to protect her from herself.

Excerpt:
“Sophie, I’d like you to meet my mother, Savanna Beaumont.
Ladies, this is Sophie.”
That’s it? No explanation for her intrusion into their
luncheon date. No qualifying her position as an employee. She considered
kicking him under the table. Running interference indeed. Hah! As if any of
these stunning women would consider her presence at the table any kind of
competition for Beau’s attention.
She did her best to ignore the arm he slung over the back of
her chair and smiled at his mother. “Miss Beaumont. It’s a pleasure to meet
you. I’m a big fan.”
Savanna’s bemused gaze flicked to Beau, before her eyes
cleared. She returned Sophie’s smile. “It’s always lovely to meet a fan. How do
you know my Beau?”
His fingers tugged a gentle warning on her braid, and he
spoke before she could answer.
“She’s from Cholla Springs, Savanna. A history teacher at
the high school.”
Sophie sent him a sidelong glance. “Actually, I was a
teacher in Cholla Springs.” She jumped when his booted foot connected with her
ankle. Oh, no he didn’t! She didn’t look his way, simply kicked him back, hard,
and was pleased at his muffled grunt. “But,” she continued, “because of recent
budget cuts, I’ve recently taken a new position.”
She turned to him then, thinning her lips and narrowing her
eyes in a scowl designed to let him know he was going to owe her—and owe her
big.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I'm a wife,
mother, and grandmother (a really young one). My husband and I were blessed
with two rambunctious little boys who we managed to raise into wonderful men
without any disfiguring mishaps. Dirt bikes and ESPN are the order around our
house, and life at the 'Testosterone Ranch' more closely resembles one of
today's wacky reality shows, than yesterday's 'Leave It To Beaver'.
I'm one of
eight kids, raised just north of Boston. I moved to Phoenix as an adult because
living in the southwest feeds my soul. My childhood was a free-for-all, chock
full of laughter, love, family and friends. I was raised on the concept that a
stranger is just one conversation away from being a friend and I'm happy to
say, that experience remains true today.
My love of
books, specifically the romance genre, has been a lifelong affair, both as a
reader and a writer. A bout with breast cancer sharpened my resolve to see my
stories shared with others. Today, I am a five-year survivor, living my dream.
My friends
call me Mac. I hope you will too.
