focus on Melody DeBlois and That
April in Santa Monica
Blurb:
Madison
receives acclaim for running a talent agency for people with
disabilities, but she doesn't know how to take care of herself. When
her altruism becomes life-threatening-a matter of either develop
healthy habits or die-she joins a reality TV show that pairs her with
hot, raven-haired Brandon. He is witty, sexy, and her teacher. That
makes him off limits.
After
a successful run on a soap opera, Brandon stepped away from empty
fame and now focuses on his work as TV's most noted health teacher.
He has one fast rule-never fall for a student. But when he meets
Madison, their chemistry is combustible. There's no hiding their
conflict or their attraction, especially when it's all caught on
film.
Excerpt:
"Don’t
you feel the sun’s energy balancing and healing you?”
What
Madison felt was Brandon’s body heat radiating through her,
tightening her muscles, skimming up her spine. That kind of warmth
should come with a warning— exposure might cause side effects.
Maybe she could have blamed it on chemistry or like attracting like—
called it a lethal injection. She was dying for want of him.
She
managed to say, “I see a halo around the sun.”
“Feel
it vibrate?” he asked, turning to look at her.
Somehow,
she didn’t think watching the sky had anything to do with it. The
heat had gathered at the sweet place between her legs— another side
effect of her being close to him. If this didn’t end up in a kiss,
she didn’t think she’d be able to bear it.
Drawing
in a long shaky breath, she said, “I do feel the vibration.” Oh,
did she!
“Being
out in the middle of nature, with the birds and the sea creatures, it
does something to a person, don’t you think?”
“Amen
to Mother Earth,” she said dreamily.
“There’s
harmony in the sounds.” His breath seemed to have caught in his
throat.
“Yes,
a more beautiful melody could not exist.”
“Do
you feel your eyes blur? It’s the sun cleansing you.”
Cleansing?
Try heating up as if some crazy so-and-so had switched on the gas.
She
moaned, “My eyes have become pools of marvel.” No, that wasn’t
right. They were pools of longing, no mistaking.
