Too True to be Good
by Mary
E. Thompson
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
BLURB:
Zach Bennett was
content to go to work, hang out with his family and friends, and entertain a
woman once in a while. As his family found love all around him, he was content
to stay single. Unattached. Happy.
Besides, he had
enough to worry about with a new chef breathing down his neck for his job.
She faced the truth
every day…
Gianna Brooks always
wanted to work with people. She saw enough growing up to know kids need all the
help they can get. They deserved to be safe. Loved. Happy.
Which is why she’s
determined to get her new client into a forever home.
But the truth isn’t
always good…
The last thing Zach
needs is a little girl showing up on his doorstep claiming she’s his. Her
social worker hot on her heels, and demanding a place to stay, definitely
doesn’t make it any better. Especially with Gianna’s curvy body and bedroom
eyes, and his daughter’s sad sweetness, making him consider keeping both of
them.
Gianna knows she
should run. Zach knows he should send them away. But neither of them can resist
the pull toward the other.
Excerpt:
Zach pulled in a deep breath and
sunk into the couch. Summer was curled up next to him, her little knees digging
into his hip. He couldn’t believe it had only been a few days since she
appeared. It was starting to feel like she’d been there forever.
Gianna padded into the room. Her
hair was tied up, out of her face. He ached to tug it out of the ponytail it
was in and run his hands through it, but instead he just smiled.
“She’s asleep already?” Gianna asked
with a laugh.
Zach nodded. “Yeah. She had a busy day.”
“Your family has been wonderful with
her.”
Zach grinned. His mom took to Summer
like she’d always been a part of the family.
“They all love kids.”
“That’s obvious. Summer will be
lucky to stay here.”
The thought of Summer staying still
scared him, but he had to admit, he was getting used to it. She was a little
presence in his life that would keep him on his toes. He was starting to get a
true picture of who she was. He liked her. Maybe even loved her.
Was it possible?
Falling in love with a woman was
impossible for Zach to imagine, even when Gianna settled on his other side,
smelling irresistible from her shower. Lust, yeah. But love? Zach didn’t know
love like he felt for Summer before. He never wanted to let her go. He felt
like everything was right with her pressed against his side.
Then Gianna asked, “What are you
going to do if she’s not yours?”

Mary
E. Thompson grew up loving to read, like a good little girl. Many nights she
would fall asleep with the flashlight still turned on as she hid under the
covers trying to finish the last few pages of a book. As an adult, the light
from her ereader means she doesn't need a flashlight, but she still stays up
way too late to finish a book.
When
Mary's not reading, she's playing with her two kids or living out her own real
life romance novel with her hubby. She has a weakness for chocolate, especially
when it's paired with peanut butter, and has been known to have a bad day just
because there's no chocolate in the house. Unless there’s wine. Then everything
is okay.
Mary
grew up in Buffalo, New York and swears she's the only local to never ski or
snowboard. Soccer was always her sport, with a couple adventures white water
rafting and skydiving to keep things interesting. Mary moved to South Carolina
for college but missed Buffalo every day. Yeah, she thinks she's crazy, too.
She somehow convinced her South Carolina born and bred hubby to return to
Buffalo to raise their kids and live out their lives. He’s still not sure what
he was thinking.
