BETWEEN TODAY AND SOMEDAY
Ann M. Trader
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
BLURB:
Prim Vreeland is an emergency department nurse, and after a string of disappointing relationships, her own heart needs life support. On a leap of faith, she moves home and is surprised when her brother’s best friend—and her secret childhood crush—has the same idea. As attraction sparks, she finds her usual steady footsteps treading on quicksand.
Sportfishing media influencer Chase Bova realizes it’s time to swap life on the road for hometown roots. When he crosses paths with Prim, she tangles his line, tying it in knots. Her charm reminds him why he’d steered clear of her years ago…and should probably do the same now.
As their irresistible connection turns into romance, questions of honesty and commitment linger. Will Prim and Chase dig deep for the courage to face their past and together, discover what really lies between today and someday?

Excerpt:
Prim
“Prim!”
I stopped and turned around…and sucked in a breath. As good as Chase looked in his videos, the camera fell short of capturing his simmering, rugged good looks. He was even taller than I remembered, and his chest and shoulders still qualified for their own zip code. His hair was thick and sandy blond, a little mussed, but smoothed back with the ends brushing his neck. His biceps looked as though they could bench press a cow without so much as a flinch.
His warm, lazy smile lent a hint of mischief to his face. His approach was interrupted by a couple of guys wanting to shake his hand, and when he turned his head toward them, I glimpsed the hard line of his jaw and smooth neck.
When he got to me, his expression softened like he was looking at someone familiar yet seeing her altogether differently. Or maybe it’s just my wishful thinking.
“Hey.”
I steadied my breath before speaking. “Hi.”
He tipped his head toward the stage. “Wow, that right there? That was nothing like how you sang when you were a kid.” I must have pulled a puzzled look because he quickly added, “You know, your tire swing serenades?”
I bit my lower lip, fighting a smile. “Oh, God. You remember that…?”
“I do. I heard you loud and clear in The Hideout. Kind of drove Thorne a little crazy sometimes, but I dunno,” he said, shrugging. “It never bothered me so much.”
I took a step forward and threw my arms around him. Not at all what I’d planned in anticipation of seeing him again, but it felt right. Being so close to him made me feel like I was a kid again. Only brushing against his chest reminded me, well…he was no kid.
Chase whispered over my ear. “It’s good to see you.”
I nodded, knowing I should let him go, but he smelled too good—like mint and clean soap. When I finally released him, I said quietly, “It’s good to see you, too.”
My Review:
After a devastating breakup, emergency department nurse Prim Vreeland returns home to her family. Since she was a little child, she has had feelings for the sportfishing media personality Chase Bova. Chase has come home as well.
At a wedding, Prim and Chase cross paths. Prim is unaware that Chase has also harbored feelings for her for all these years. He avoided her because he believed he was a different person and that she deserved more than he could give her at the time.
Prim and Chase's story, Between Today and Someday, revolves around the idea that their feelings for each other remain constant as they become closer. Or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that their bond becomes stronger because they have always loved each other to some extent.
There are many twists and turns in Between Today and Someday, which made me want more. The shocks were amazing; none of them were what I had expected.
Between Today and Someday is a must-read for everyone who enjoys romance and love! Get a copy of Between Today and Someday today!
