Synopsis:
This is a love
story.
This is a romantic
story.
Except bananas.
Bananas are never romantic.
Lissa was a twenty-year-old girl
trying to make it in the equestrian world. She was sassy and smart, strong and
a little weird. And she had no idea what she was doing.
Ethan was twenty-seven,
tattooed, tall, dark, and hot. And lugging some baggage. He’d already made it
in the business and brought Lissa on to help get her on her feet. And it turned
out, he liked a little weird.
Ethan made it clear that he
wasn’t in the market for a relationship. Lissa was happy to learn the ropes and
push her attraction aside.
But how do you draw the line
when every touch makes you…shiver?

Excerpt:
It sometimes surprised people
how effectively I could tune out the world when I fell into a great read. I
didn’t do it in the company of others often because, well, it was pretty rude.
My family knew they could talk at me for twenty minutes and I wouldn’t process
a word of what they’d said. Ethan had not had the dubious honor of witnessing
it.
“Are you reading porn?” he
whispered really loudly over my shoulder, startling me into actually dropping
the Kindle onto my lap.
I fumbled to keep it from
falling to the floor. “What? No!” I whispered back, laughing. “Are you reading
over my shoulder?”
“I’ve been trying to talk to you
for the past five minutes, and you haven’t heard a word I said. I figured I
should see what had you so captivated.”
I started to giggle. “It’s not
porn. It’s romance!”
“Romance.” He scoffed. “So you
would consider it romantic if my huge cock slapped you in the face?”
I let out an incredibly loud
bark of laughter, drawing looks from surrounding passengers. “That is not what
it says!” I smacked him in the chest.
“Go on. Enlighten me then.”
“It’s about the emotions, you
asshole! The feelings people have when they fall in love. The man who would
never settle down finding his other half, who makes him realize he needs no one
but her. If a penis inadvertently smacks someone in the face”—I shrugged,
grinning wickedly—“well, so be it.”
He threw his arm around me,
squeezing me close and kissing the top of my head. “You still fascinate me.” He
laughed.
“I still haven’t decided if
that’s a good thing or not,” I muttered.
Author Info:
I live in beautiful Northern
Virginia with my incredible husband, two awesome kids, three dogs, and two
budgies. My husband and I both grew up riding and competing horses and have our
own equestrian operation that we run together. In my spare time, I read through
the hundreds of stories awaiting me on my e-reader.
My love of books started early,
and my mom used to ration my reading time so I didn't go through them too
quickly. I love all things romantic, whether it's dark or light or silly or
dirty, but I really love a happy ending!
In my small moments of quiet
time, you'll find me sipping on wine and reading while any movie where people
randomly burst into song or dance plays in the background.
