Excerpt -

“Jake saw Lila the minute she pulled onto the site. His heart completed a painful three-sixty in his chest as he watched her long legs appear from underneath the car door, followed by her torso encased in a clinging white cotton tank.She was a fragrant tropical breeze blowing through the desert. And he was a man in need of relief.He watched her climb the steps to the pad, her light- colored trousers hugging the rounded shape of her bottom.He felt an immediate response from below, a tightening of his balls inside his jeans, a pulsing he didn’t need at the moment.Turning his back on his her, Jake studied the plans of the house under construction. The dimensions for the garage swam before his eyes as he listened to Otis greet Lila.He couldn’t make out their conversation, but the soft melody of her voice comforted him, reassured him in a way he hadn’t felt in some time. She had the ability to do that, put him at ease with the simple sound of her voice. To Jake, Lila represented home. No matter where they were, what they were doing, as long as she was there, he was home.”Author Bio: Growing up in Hell’s Back Forty, Shannon Leigh developed a fierce loyalty to all things Texas and pledged to share the romance of small town dance halls and the flavor of brisket BBQ with readers.  Currently, she lives in Fort Worth with an extensive cowboy boot collection, a red and white, ’67 Chevy pickup and a mission to find the best taco stands in the city.She’s been writing since Jesus was a small boy, but recently found a home with the uber wonderful folks at Entangled Publishing.When she’s not writing fiction, she writes features for local magazines, sells real estate, and runs around with a particular 11 year old known as “The Boy.”Website  * Twitter  * Facebook  * Goodreads
