Random Tuesday

Is it really only Tuesday? The first two days of this have dragged on like no other week in my life. And it's not like there's nothing going on - I'm super busy with my WIP's and reserving rooms at my upcoming signings! It's been fantastic. 
    But I guess this little heat wave we are currently in the middle of is getting to me. Ugh. And my office doesn't have an A/C, so it's hot. And I have a headache. It's just been a crazy week. 
    And it's only Tuesday. 
    Double Ugh!
    
    So how about a teaser to get you through this ridiculous weather? Here is an excerpt from Broken Dreams.

I turned to face him, searching his silver eyes with mine. “I love you,” I blurted. 

His eyes went wide, his skin pale. For a second, I wondered if it was too much for him. But true to his nature, Baker plastered on his signature grin and winked at me. 

“I love you, too,” he pledged. He tipped his head toward me and pressed his lips to mine. His touch ignited a fire within me and I wrapped my arms around his neck. “Easy,” he said again with a laugh. “We have plenty of time for that later. But if we don’t leave right now, we’re going to miss our reservation, and that would be a shame.”

He disentangled himself from my grasp, tightened his tie, and grabbed my hand to lead me back to the elevator outside our suite. The elevator ride was spent with me standing there, looking flushed and on fire while his thumb rubbed soothing circles across the top of my hand. Even when we weren’t speaking, he was comforting me.
