Never Let Me Go by Jennifer Haymore

Sometimes following your ambitions means losing your heart.

When Celeste McMillan graduated from college, she hit the ground running, prepared to overcome every challenge and climb the corporate ladder at record-breaking speed. But then a client assaults her, and her boss forces her to take a ten-day “vacation” in Hawaii.

Kanoe Anakalea is intrigued when he meets the pale-skinned, redheaded haole on his favorite surfing beach. Celeste is intelligent and adventurous, sexy and sweet. Even though sun, sand and sexy surfers are as foreign to Celeste as the L.A. corporate world is to Kanoe, their sexual chemistry sizzles.

As they spend sun-warmed days and plumeria-scented nights in each other’s arms, they find themselves falling hard. Yet love is out of the question. Kanoe is rooted in his island home, and Celeste’s future beckons in L.A. As the clock ticks down, Celeste realizes that letting go might be the greatest challenge she’s ever had to face.

About the author:

You can find Jennifer in Southern California trying to talk her husband into yet another trip to England, helping her three children with homework while brainstorming a new five-minute dinner menu, or crouched in a corner of the local bookstore writing her next novel.

What inspired you to write your book?

Love of my home state and the Big Island of Hawaii, where I grew up.

Here is a short sample from the book:

She said softly, “I bet you’re a good surfer.”
He grinned at her… Wow, that grin was going to be the death of her if she wasn’t careful. “I am. Very good at it. And I like it too. A lot.”
On the water, a surfer had caught a wave and was making wide turns as if he were on a slalom course. Finally, he flipped his board up over the crest of the wave. The board, and the surfer, went flying into the air. The guy had clearly done it on purpose.
“It looks fun,” she said.
“It is fun. Have you ever surfed before?”
“I haven’t, but maybe I’ll try it sometime.” Her tone was flirtatious, even though she hadn’t intended it to be, and she felt another blush prickle her cheeks.
He smirked as if he could read exactly how attracted to him she was. “Maybe you should.”
There was an edge of a challenge in his voice, and he’d also lowered it to a tone that made a sweet shiver run up her spine. She wasn’t sure if he’d intended it to be so seductive, but she was definitely seduced.
Suddenly she had an insane urge to run her fingers over his tattoo, trace those strong, dark lines with her fingers, feel the hard muscles beneath the exotic design… Every nerve in her body seemed to stand on end in anticipation.
She shook herself. He was a stranger. She really didn’t know anything about this guy.
It must be all the humidity, because she never got hot and bothered like this. Anyway, she was not the vacation-fling kind of girl. She wasn’t an any-sort-of-fling kind of girl.
Again, she felt that crazy urge to touch him. This time she couldn’t control it. Just a little touch—that was all she needed.
She inched her hand toward where his was clasped over the railing. As soon as her skin made contact with his, she stopped. Simple contact, a basic connection, but it felt right. She wanted more.
Trying to inhale some sanity, she drew in a deep, long breath. He still gazed out over the water, his expression perfectly blank, giving no hint as to what he was feeling, whether he was having this same electric reaction to her as she was to him.
Maybe he was…
Probably not.
“Thanks again for your help,” she said softly. “I don’t know how I would have gotten in the house without you.”
He looked down at her, and when their gazes locked, her heart slammed against her chest double time. Long black lashes framed his gorgeous golden-brown eyes. One corner of his lips quirked into a smile, showing that dimple again, and Celeste melted.
“You’re welcome.”
His voice licked heat under her skin. She didn’t want him to go, but there were so many things wrong with wanting him to stay, she couldn’t even begin to tick them off in her mind.
In any case, she needed to unpack, clean up. Check her email, send some emails, review the Goderich file to see if they’d missed anything in the analysis. Take a nap, though she suddenly didn’t feel tired, despite her general lack of sleep for the past thirty-six hours.
“I’ll see you around, maybe?” Her voice was low, huskier than usual. Still, it was a clear hint for him to go, and a part of her regretted it as the words escaped her mouth.
He tilted his head at her. “Maybe.”
She led him to the front of the house, thanked him again and watched him stride to the top of the cliff. She tried not to stare at his butt, but the flexing muscles as he walked up the hill had everything inside her standing up and paying attention.
At the top, he took his bright yellow surfboard from where it leaned on her rental car, then turned away and walked up the road toward the line of cars parked along the guardrail at the cliff’s edge. The rain started coming down hard, and he disappeared into it like an apparition.
She released a heavy sigh. He was gone. That was probably a good thing.
But a part of her wanted him to come back.

Now 24 and living in Seattle, she gets interested in learning sign language through her roommate, a sign language interpreter. One day at a Deaf community event, she sees a young man sitting off by himself. Kassie feels compelled to try signing to him–the fact that he’s strikingly handsome doesn’t hurt.

    Secondhand Romance by RoseAnn DeFranco

    0 out of 5

    Annie O’Malley’s dream of owning a secondhand bookstore in tight-knit Audubon Springs is coming true. Still reeling from her parents’ sudden deaths, she believes that signs or messages can be found within the pages of books. She loves her job and has made plenty of friends but longs for the acceptance only love and a family can provide.

    Tony Iuliano is there to fix the wiring in her shop. He doesn’t believe in fate, magic, or the power of a good book. All this combined with his sexy-as-sin presence and all-knowing attitude infuriates Annie. The quirky bookworm intrigues him enough to accept her bet to read a book from her shop. When he discovers a stack of fifty-year-old love letters in the book, he wants to leave the past alone, but seeing it as a sign, Annie challenges him to read the letters and search for the long-lost lovers or lose the bet.

    While shaking the dust off several ill-fated romances and fighting their attraction at every turn, the pair soon become the town gossip daily special. If they can stop arguing long enough, they may just discover this particular sign was meant for them all along.

    The Advent of Lena, a Tale of Beauty and the Beast by Neil M Campbell

    0 out of 5

    Chloe Lambert is used to men looking at her twice but for all the wrong reasons – they cannot believe how ugly she is. She has no reason to think Park Delafield, of the perfect profile and cheek bones to die for, is any different when he insults her in a pub. But all is not as it seems, turns out he’s looking for salvation and has decided she’s the one. Only trouble is, Chloe’s not so sure.

    When a stranger in a bar loudly comments on her appearance, Chloe Lambert can only assume that the remark which cut her to the bone was for him simply a casual aside. Park Delafield, however, at once struck down for his savagery by a friend of Chloe’s, is visited in his humiliation by the insight that only the love of the woman he has offended can redeem the despicable individual he has become. He sets out to win Chloe but she, bewildered by his attentions and repelled by his egotism, wants no part in his quest. Until his tireless persistence, combined with her own curiosity about his true personality and motives, soften her distrust of his sincerity. Warily she allows him into her life, thus seeding hurricanes of self-discovery, reckless commitment, and searing betrayal through which all involved journey toward disaster . . . or liberation and redemption.

    Redeeming The Amazon by L.V. Lewis

    0 out of 5

    How does a former supermodel deal with body image when she’s lost an essential hallmark of her femininity?

    Most come to The Beaudelaire Hotel a few times a year merely to indulge in sexual fantasy, but the stakes are higher for Karen Freeman and Paul Beaudelaire. Karen is nine years post-op from a double mastectomy, and her vain ex-husband hadn’t agreed with her decision to remove her remaining good breast or to eschew reconstruction. In the end, that decision cost her. She lost her marriage, but she’s certain the move prolonged her life.

    Returning to a normal dating and sex life has been difficult. She hasn’t made love fully unclothed since the demise of her marriage, and her most significant relationship occurred right after her surgery. While recuperating, she had an affair of the heart with a Marine amputee who’d also been her Ph.D. classmate.

    Paul Beaudelaire once had his pick of women in the upper echelons of New Orleans society. He’d been satisfied to continue in that vein, until his career in the Marine Corps was cut short by the loss of his left leg. Paul returned home with the best prosthesis Johns Hopkins could fit him with, but left his heart in Baltimore.

    Can a marine amputee restore a beautiful model whose body has been ravaged by cancer? Will this fantasy weekend at his Uncle Henri’s hotel give him a second chance with his contemporary Amazon, or will her fear of rejection be a barrier to their reconnection?
