Today I have my spotlight on Happily Ever After by Ruth A. Casie!
He was the cause of her fall from literary stardom until he became her salvation.
Back Cover Copy:
From a fall from literary stardom to becoming the heroine in her
own romance story, Beth Holmes has turned around her career and her love life.
She owes it all to one very special person.
Jarred Watson has loved Beth since he read her first novel and
suspected the heroine was the embodiment of the author. But the road to romance
was fraught with pitfalls. He almost lost everything because of a conniving
agent and a little white lie that got out of hand. At the eleventh hour, with
honesty and hard work, their book sales are off the charts and a movie deal is
in negotiations.
Interfering families and changed plans take their toll. Will they
go their separate ways or will Holmes and Watson continue their literary
collaboration and personal partnership in order to find their own happily ever
after?
Excerpt:
“Interesting.”
He chuckled. “Men are not known for their empathy.” He brought his chair closer
to hers. “Like stress,” he said. “Under stress, men exhibit the “fight or
flight” response.”
Beth
nodded. She hadn’t considered the differences in gender reactions in that
context. “Women don’t think fight or flight, at least not initially. Under
stress they work to protect the group. It has to do with protecting the young
and seeing to the family unit. They also think very differently about sex.”
A
sly smile brightened his face. She wanted to slam her hand over her mouth.
“We
do?” He dropped his voice to a low raspy whisper and sent chills, the good
kind, up her back and to other places.
“For
a woman, sex starts in their head, not necessarily between her legs.” Shit. Her
face was so hot she was going to go up in flames. Jeez, that’s what her heroine
Jo Dee would say, definitely not Beth Alexander.
“Oh
really?” If she thought his soft, male mellow voice or his smoldering stare
couldn’t get any sexier, she got that totally wrong.
“I’m
a romance writer. I write about relationships and emotions,” she replied.
“And
sex,” he added. Was he extending an invitation? She wasn’t a loose woman, but
she was more than tempted to say yes. And that was her notion, not Jo Dee’s.
