⚛⚛⚛ Synopsis ⚛⚛⚛

Stained glass artist Callie Davis is in desperate need of a vacation. Burnt out and on the edge of a nervous breakdown, she’s fleeing the pressures of her career and is taking refuge on Massachusetts’ tiny Carter Island. Callie yearns for long, lazy days and pretty walks on the beach—blessed solitude and an escape from the complications of her life. Then she bumps into gorgeous Nate Carter and everything changes.

Sheriff Nathan Carter couldn’t be happier now that the height of the summer season has finally come and gone. After four endless months, tourists have packed their bags and headed for the mainland. The quiet days of autumn are about to befall the town—the way Nate and his fellow Sandersonians like it best.

But nothing ends up quite the way Nate expects when he meets the beautiful blonde with the big blue eyes. Callie’s pretty smiles hide secrets—deep, dark mysteries that could cost them both their lives if they continue digging into the past and cross a killer’s path.

⚛⚛⚛ Excerpt ⚛⚛⚛

“Would you like to dance?” Nate asked.

Callie smiled. “I would love to.”

He took her hand and they walked to the center of the crowded floor. “Does this work for you?”

She nodded. “It’s perfect.”

“All right then.” He kept her hand in his and wrapped his arm around her waist.  

She settled her arm around the back of his neck and followed his lead, breathing in his aftershave and laundry soap scent, trying to remember the last time she’d let a man hold her. “The park looks amazing. Very festive.”

“They did a great job with the setup,” he said as his eyes tracked around the grounds before they met hers again. “We always have a solid turnout. Thursday night is kind of our way of celebrating the end of the season before we welcome mainlanders for the rest of the weekend.”

She let herself relax against him. “I’m glad I’m here to enjoy it.”

“Me too. Although I’m sorry you missed dinner.”

“That wasn’t my intention. I ended up having something small to eat at the cottage.” She’d made quick work of shoving half a granola bar into her mouth as she slid on her sandals on the way out the door.

“I tried to snag you a brownie, but people around here are pigs when it comes to Molly’s baking, so…” He shrugged.

She smiled. “I appreciate the effort.”

He looked to his left, did a double take, and smiled, letting go of Callie’s hand long enough to send up a quick wave. “Ah, shit,” he said under his breath as he captured Callie’s fingers, lacing them with his.

She frowned. “What?”

“Mrs. Beckle.”

Callie casually glanced in the direction Nate had just waved, where two women looked his way. “I take it Mrs. Beckle’s not the tall brunette?”

“No, that would be Anna, Mrs. Beckle’s daughter,” he said on a bit of a sigh. “Mrs. Beckle is convinced that Anna and I are fated or something.”

Callie looked Anna’s way again, noting her enviable curves filling out her red sleeveless top and black maxi skirt, then back into Nate’s eyes. “She’s very pretty.”

“Yeah, but she’s not very nice. She put gum in my hair when we were in second grade—a huge wad of Hubba Bubba. It was two pieces—maybe three. My mom tried getting it out with ice cubes and peanut butter, but she ended up shaving my head.”

Callie laughed, truly delighted with the man staring into her eyes. “So you’re a grudge holder?”

He frowned. “I thought you’d be on my side. Shaved head. In January. Do you know how cold it is around here that time of year?”

Callie threw her head back, laughing in a way she hadn’t in far too long—or maybe since Saturday night when Nate had held her in the frigid Atlantic waters.

He laughed too and pulled her closer against him. “It’s true. And I’m only half joking right now.”

It was hard not to really like Nate Carter. “You know, if law enforcement doesn’t work out, you should give comedy a try.”

He eased back enough to touch a hand to his heart. “The pain is real.”

Chuckling, she shook her head. “You’re a funny guy.”

“I’m glad you think so.”

It seemed she didn’t do much else but think about Nate, especially after seeing him again this morning.

The musician strummed the last few notes of the song, and the band picked up the pace with Tom Petty’s “American Girl.” Callie looked at her fingers intertwined with Nate’s, knowing she needed to let him go. “Thanks for the dance.” r

Today we have the blog tour for The Nearness of You by K.G. Fletcher! Check it out and grab your copy today!

Title: The Nearness of You
Author: K.G. Fletcher
Genre: Contemporary Romance

⚛⚛⚛ Synopsis ⚛⚛⚛

Lounge singer, Lauren Rose lived her comfortable life in Atlanta always dreaming of making it in show biz. When she unexpectedly meets British male super-model, David Randle at a gig at the posh St. Regis Hotel, she is swept away by his striking good looks and lilting cadence.

In town for his sister Catherine’s nuptials to NASCAR driver, Brian Brady, David invites Lauren to the wedding on a whim. The two instantly bond over music, fashion and family. They continue their new relationship in New York City when David invites Lauren to see him in action at a high profile fashion shoot for his debut fragrance, “Drive.”

Sparks fly when his assistant, Sabrina Watson is none too happy that his new girlfriend has interrupted his grueling, fast-paced schedule. She becomes fixated on separating the happy couple who are falling in love.

Traversing the East Coast and Europe with the paparazzi in hot pursuit, David and Lauren navigate the precarious path of fame, fashion and fate.

Her wildest dreams were coming true. Would she ever truly believe that his desire was to be near her – always?

⚛⚛⚛  Exclusive Excerpt ⚛⚛⚛

David practically flew across the lounge to get to Lauren. The sound of her head hitting the edge of the black lacquered piano was horrific, his entire being immediately going into protection mode. He couldn’t get to her fast enough. Miles was already by her side kneeling next to her as several patrons crowded around with looks of concern.

David pulled her into his lap. “Is she bleeding, Miles? Is she breathing?”

“I don’t see any blood. She’s knocked out cold.” Miles’ face was ghostly white.

David lifted her into his arms and hurriedly carried her across the room. He was taken aback by how light she was, realizing she must have lost a lot of weight. A security guard had arrived by this time letting him know that the paramedics were on their way. Tim, the bartender ushered them into a small office out of the public eye. David gently set her on a worn, leather chair and knelt in front of her, stroking her cheek.

“Lauren? Lauren, darling please wake up!” He turned to Tim. “Can you please get me some ice for her head?” Tim nodded and quickly exited.

Miles looked on and ran his hand through his jet black hair. His bow tie had been loosened and hung limply around his neck. “One minute she was singing and the next, she flubbed the intro of our last song and was on the floor. She had a weird expression. I knew something was wrong.”

David kept stroking his fingers across her cheeks staring at her face, willing her to open her eyes. He felt guilty for startling her during the last song. He had wanted to wait till the show was over and the crowd had thinned out before he approached her. But hearing her lovely voice echo down the hallway of the hotel made him desperate to see her, to lay eyes on her after being away for so long. The anticipation of seeing her again had him muddled from the time he had arrived in the states—he could hardly concentrate on anything else. Now she was unconscious, lying helpless before him, making his heart heavy with worry. If anything were to happen to her….

A small moan escaped her pink lips, and she shifted in the seat.

“Lauren, open your eyes. Please, open your eyes,” he pleaded.

Her eyes fluttered open and immediately pooled with tears staring back at him. “You’re here,” she whispered. He pulled her gently into an embrace as she started to cry, clutching the back of his neck. He rocked her silently, his own eyes filling with tears.

“There, there, love. It’s all right. Thank God, you’re all right.” He couldn’t let go of her and did his best to try to maintain his composure. “I missed you so much. You have to know that,” he whispered into her ear. She nodded, her grip tightening around him.

Tess McBray was dying. The Solstice Syndrome had no cure, and she resigned herself to an early grave. But just when she gave up on survival, all her symptoms mysteriously disappeared.

All but one symptom, anyway. Something is wrong with Tess’s hands. They absorb any material they touch, and her skin turns to wood, or steel, or concrete.

And she’s not the only one; across the country, people are coming forward and sharing their gifts with the world. In her own city, where the police are battling a human trafficking operation, a masked vigilante called The Fox is saving lives and stopping criminals.

Excerpt

He slammed the phone down knowing he shouldn’t let her get to him, but Tess had this way of getting under his skin. Their daughter was her weapon of choice this round. Again, he wondered how she’d become so callous. Always had been manipulative, he was just naïve enough to believe love could conquer it. All of the drama set him on edge as he began to add another layer to the wall around his heart. He couldn’t let another ever have the kind of access he’d given his ex-wife. Captivated by her beauty and her unmatchable skills in shifting words, just right, to convince him he was the only man for her. What a crock! He’d learned during the divorce proceedings Ashton was not her first affair. She’d never been faithful to him. And he would’ve given everything, had given her his all, his heart. She knew Vanna was his Achilles heel. Damn her. Not in the right frame of mind to talk to anyone, he went straight for the wood pile and began to take out his anger with an ax.

“Son, you’re gonna keel over from overexertion chopping wood like that. From the looks of it, you had a conversation with that woman.”

“Yup.”

“Ah, going with the silent approach. Y’know, Landon, I raised you to speak up and get that shit out. It’s toxic. And I know it sounds like I’m ridin’ your ass. But the truth is, until you purge all that nasty, you won’t be able to truly move on.”

Landon froze mid-swing. “You mean I’ll never marry again. Fine with me.” The ax hit its target with a loud crack sending wood splinters out in several directions, like mud when a tire was stuck. “You okay?” he inquired when his dad stood there and said nothing.

John shook his head. “I’m fine. And I meant in every relationship you have. Vanna will pay the price,” he warned before sauntering away.

His dad was right. He knew that. But he couldn’t risk falling in love with Bliss. Didn’t anyone understand that? Log after log caught his fury, his heartache, as he let physical labor ease the pain.

*****

The sight of his bare torso, glistening with sweat, as his muscles rippled and bulged from powerful swings of the ax, had Bliss’ lady parts throbbing for his attention. God, she knew he was beautiful, not just handsome. His thick dark hair contrasted with those piercing blue eyes. She’d thought for many years his hair was obsidian, but, after seeing him outside in the sunlight, she realized it was espresso, hints of different browns. A tree aided her stalking as she backed up against it. His skin was golden, telling her he pulled his shirt off often. Those muscles were the result of working the land. Though he’d always been fit. Her eyes kept wandering over the smattering of hair that covered his lickable pecs and his oh-so happy trail, just below those washboard abs that accentuated the V, enticing her gaze to travel further down. A masterpiece of masculinity and, have mercy, did she want to taste every single part of that creation. Her fingers eased down the waistband of her cut-off shorts as she sought pleasure. Not release. That was for her vibrator. This was something more. She closed her eyes and imagined him touching her there, wanting to capture her big O and claim it. With her other hand, she steadied herself against the rough bark as she reached climax.

A little girl’s squeal of laughter pulled her back into reality with hard yank. Savannah was next to the shed playing with the dogs. Bliss blew out a sigh of relief from not being caught and straightened her light green T-shirt, unable to shake the feeling someone was staring at her. Landon was gone. A quick search brought her hazel gaze to his enflamed blues. Oh fuck—busted. “Um…” her face was hot from the embarrassment of being caught doing something so private, so personal.

His hand captured hers, raising it. Oh my God! She couldn’t watch what she’d only read about in a book. His to be exact! His fingers lifted her chin, so she had no choice but to be a witness to his naughty demonstration. With deliberate strokes along the fingers she’d just had on her privates, his tongue danced, before he sucked with strong pulls, causing her core to molten. She was positive the evidence was trailing down her inner thigh. Her pulse pounded in that central tiny bundle begging for him to do that, and more. His irises darkened as his lids grew heavy. She was quite sure the action of his mouth on her fingertips, partnered with that boiling gaze, was going to bring her an even bigger orgasm than before. Her nipples were painful as her back bowed toward him. Landon didn’t relent and slid his tongue into the tender webbing between her pointer and middle finger. “Give it to me, Bliss.”

Her breathing was harsh as she fought for control. But the battle was lost when he lightly scraped his teeth in that spot she had no clue held so much feeling. He shoved his thumb in her mouth to silence her scream of pleasure and commanded, “Suck.”

Her gaze still held hostage by his, making this little escapade something tangible, intimate. She obeyed with vigorous pulls, visualizing it was his manhood. His eyes rolled back for a second before they were back on hers. Good Lord, he was fucking her with that heated regard. She grew bold and uttered words she’d only dreamt of saying. “Come for me.” Then she proceeded to suck off his thumb as he leaned into her.

He placed her hand over his engorged cock. Even through the heavy denim she could feel how large he was. He pushed hard against her and wrapped his free arm around her for cushion. Her breasts were pressed against his soaked T-shirt he’d managed to tug on as he watched her finger herself. For him. Though she didn’t realize she had an audience at the time. She unzipped his fly, refusing to break the connection they held. Her long graceful fingers traveled his length before she fisted his girth and pumped, moving from base to tip. There was nowhere to hide as he erupted for her. His thumb still wedged in her mouth as she bit down, drawing more from him.

“Ah, fuck, Bliss,” his breath blasted out as he fought to take her mouth with his.

“I know,” she panted as he moved her saliva around her lips.

Dogs barking and growling brought the moment to a cruel end. Both adjusted themselves and took off running when Savannah’s ear-piercing scream filled the air.
