Home, Book 1
In
high school, Bianca Charleston was a nobody. An overweight
wallflower, so invisible that Cole, the boy she had a crush on, never
even knew she existed.
Things
have changed, and she’s finally ready to show off her new bombshell
look. Sort of. Maybe. After a one-sided pep talk with her cat, she
takes a deep breath and flies home to help out with the annual
hospital carnival. Cole is there, too—and he still has no idea who
she is.
FBI
field officer Cole Johnson doesn’t have an easy job, and his nights
are usually booked solid. Then in walks Charlie, a blonde with
killer…everything. Suddenly he’s mentally clearing his schedule
for a rare night out. While Charlie doesn’t do one-night stands,
somehow after-dinner dessert is served up against the wall of her
hotel room. But happiness will have to navigate an emotional
minefield of preconceived notions—and a couple of not-so-secret
stumbling blocks.
Excerpt
“You look
beautiful. I’m glad you didn’t take my advice on casual.
It’s…beautiful.” He shook his head after he stared at her for a
few more seconds and then took a drink of what looked like water.
They each had a glass in front of them.
“Kia made
me buy it.” She blurted it out and then reached for her wrapped
silverware to have something to do with her hands. She unwrapped it,
setting the silverware on the table and the napkin across her lap.
“I’ll
have to remember to thank her. I’ve never been that big a fan of
the little black dress hoopla, but on you? Big fan.”
His smile. It
melted her. “Thanks,” she managed with a hesitant smile.
Attention from a man with his sex appeal threw her off. What she
really wanted to do was put her chin on her hand so she could stare
at him for the rest of the evening.
But she
wouldn’t.
Not at all.
“So, how
did the rest of the packet delivering go?”
She took a
drink of water since her mouth had gone dry with him this close.
“Good actually. It’s been a while since I was here to help with
any of this. Since high school really. It surprised me how many
people are still around. How many people never left. Or left and came
back. Can’t believe it’s almost been ten years. Seems a lifetime
ago.”
“And you’re
sure we met in high school? You’re sure of it?”
Wanting to
giggle and groan at the same time was a new one for her. “Only a
few hundred times.”
“It just
doesn’t seem possible. Surely I’d remember you.” He gave her a
once over from head to waist. Everything he could see above the table
probably.
Shaking her
head seemed like the thing to do. “I was very different in high
school. Popularity was the name of a very distant planet when I was a
teenager.”
“Can’t
imagine you being that different. Truly. Care to give me your name
and I can look you up? High school yearbooks and all should be good
for something other than killing spiders.”
“Nope.”
He chuckled
and picked up his menu. “You do know what I do for a living, right?
I could run your plates and figure it out within five minutes. I
could show you my ID if that would help.”
“You
wouldn’t.”
“Ha. If you
could see your face right now.” He chuckled and she tried to wipe
the panic off her face and probably didn’t do a very good job. “I
won’t. I’d much rather figure it out on my own. I love solving
puzzles.”
