GENRE: Contemporary
Romance
BLURB:
Fighting Love
Single dad Zac
Littleton has always tried to make lemonade from life’s lemons, and striking a
bargain with Sophie Marsh is no different. A relative newcomer to town, she
needs his help convincing the locals to try her Fresh Foods Organics
produce—and Zac needs to satisfy his preteen daughter’s pleas to get out and
have fun. Fake-dating Sophie will kill two birds with one stone, at least for a
while—unless he gets addicted to the sweet pleasure of his beautiful
competitor’s company…
Sophie can’t stand
Zac. Or maybe she simply can’t stand Littleton Farms beating her in sales every
week. It’s true that pretending interest in Zac and his sculpted biceps and
devilish smile is a lot easier than she expected, and much more tempting, too.
But despite their all-natural attraction, Sophie’s past has left her wary of
any man—even one as charming as Zac. Besides, he’s got trust issues of his own.
If anything real can blossom between them, it’s going to take a whole lot of
patience, persistence…and passion.
EXCERPT:
Grabbing the phone book that was
still delivered to her door every three months, despite the fact that nobody
needed a phone book anymore or even looked at one, she flipped through the
names until she found the one she was looking for. She dialed the number before
she could chicken out.
The phone rang three, then four
times, and it was then that Sophie realized the time and that maybe they were
both sleeping and she was going to ruin the little girl’s day tomorrow and
maybe she had a test and now she would fail and it would all be Sophie’s—
“Hello?”
“Oh my God.”
“Well, actually, most people call me
Zac. Or ‘Hey, dude.’ But sure, you can go with God.”
“I wasn’t calling you God.”
“But you were calling me.”
Sophie stomped her foot and cursed
to herself, except she must not have kept it to herself, because the next thing
she knew, Zac was laughing. Loudly. A full-body kind of laugh, the kind that
rumbled from deep within a person.
“What?”
“You call me, and then you get mad
because I called you out on calling me? What sense does that make? Ah, right.
About as much sense as you thinking you were going to win that bet today.”
“I can’t stand you.”
“Man, not many people admit to
hating God, but whatever works for you, honey.”
“I didn’t call you God.”
“Sure you didn’t.”
“Oh my God!”
“See.”
“I’m hanging up now.”
“All right, but you won’t have any
resolution to whatever made you call if you hang up.”
Sophie’s temper boiled over, her
fingers and toes and stomach all tensed for a fight. She’d never met a man who
behaved as arrogantly as Zac, and suddenly she regretted every positive thought
she’d ever
had about him.
“I called to ask how you cheated.”
“Wait, wait, wait.” He chuckled
softly, the sound so delicious she almost sighed—before yelling at herself to
pull it together. Once again, she wished Zac had some horrible habit that would
make her less attracted to him. Maybe he smoked. No, no way did he smoke. Not
with super white teeth like his. She’d have to find something to secure this
hate before it turned into something really dangerous.
Like a crush.
