Contemporary Romance
Blurb:
Even Riley Dillon’s lucky red shoes couldn’t save her from the
worst day imaginable—though they did act as great projectile against her
cheating fiancé!
After finding her life in turmoil, Riley leaves New York and
returns to her hometown of Mistcoast, California where she takes a job at the
local surf shop owned by Blake Reynolds, who has certainly grown up a lot since
high school.
Blake Reynolds is handsome, talented and driven. At
twenty-four the blond haired, blue eyed surfer seemingly has it all: a booming
business, hometown following—everything but the girl of his dreams. Luckily,
fate decides to give him a second chance.
After ten years apart will Blake finally win Riley’s heart? Or
will she continue to see him as the annoying freshman she used to tutor?
One thing’s for sure, only the California sun and surf can
help decide.
Excerpt:
“Enough of me,” he said coyly. He reached out to grab a stray
lock of my strawberry blonde hair. I swatted his hand away.
“Do not touch me,” I hissed.
He rolled his eyes and turned his baseball cap backwards on
his head. “Oh, come on. I’m a guy and you’re a girl and—”
“This isn’t going to turn into some tutor/student sex
fantasy,” I shot back angrily.
“Admit it. You think I’m hot.”
If I were being frank, I would admit that the
fourteen-year-old freshman was good looking in a young Brad Pitt sort of way.
Regardless, he was a freshman. There was no way I was even entertaining that
idea.
I shook my head. “Nope. Can’t say that I do.”
“Oh, come on, Riley. Stop denying what is fated. We are going
to fall in love, get married, and have beautiful children.”
“Do you want me to tell your mother that you’re sexually
harassing your eighteen year old senior tutor? Why don’t you take all that
energy you’re putting into being a perverted freak and focus on your studies?”
Instead of being angry, Blake’s eyes widened and he burst into
a loud laugh. “You are seriously something, Riley Dillon. Seriously something.”
“Just pay attention to the lesson,” I snapped.
“Age ain’t nothing but a number, Sweetheart. One day you’ll
find that out.” He grinned his cocky smile and I couldn’t help but wonder if
this tutoring gig was even worth it. As his laugh echoed in the empty
classroom, all I could do was shut my tired eyes and shake my head in
exasperation.
