No cliffhanger, only hard-earned unexpected love.
And angst.
What is it about this guy?
On paper, he’s one hundred percent wrong for me. His e-mails are
equal parts annoying and funny.
Okay, more funny than annoying. More like refreshing. Different.
Exciting.
But as I stand next to him now, he’s giving me head-to-toe
tingles, and I find myself dwelling on his e-mails.
Meet smart, sexy career girl and New York snob, Charli Richards.
She has everything except happiness until the day she meets Layton Griffin. It’s
a random encounter on an airplane; it couldn’t mean anything, right?
Layton isn’t even remotely close to who Charli sees herself
hooking up with . . . ever. Her mom and best friend agree he’s not for her, but
he makes her feel something exciting, awakens her world.
But then Layton changes, going to great lengths for Charli to
see him for who he really is.
Will those changes bring them closer together, or will she never
be able to see him in the same way again?
Excerpt
“Cheers.” My seatmate good-naturedly tipped his glass toward me.
He wasn’t going to leave me alone.
I took a long gulp and looked back at my computer screen.
“Do you like working for them?”
I tugged at my turtleneck; it was so freaking hot all of a
sudden. My nosy neighbor’s face had a slight sheen to it, clearly from being
hot, and now his warmth was seeping into my space.
“I do. They’re a growing company and . . . I’ve made great
strides there.”
What the heck? Why was I even answering him? Because he asked,
and if I was honest, it was the nicest anyone had been to me in months.
Furthermore, why did I sound like I was on an interview? Or an
infomercial?
He was kind—I could tell—and his smile was gentle and calm, his
eyes like warm coffee with just the right amount of cream swirling through it.
I turned a little in my seat to face him and my knee brushed his thigh. I let
my gaze travel his Beastie Boys T-shirt until I settled on his computer.
Playing on it was a rom-com, one I’d never seen before, but
Katie What’s-her-name—all stunning,
shiny hair, celebrity mom, perfect life—was
front and center. Her arms were full of shopping bags and she was wearing a big
grin on her perfect face as she walked down a city street.
“You don’t strike me as the romantic comedy type.” I felt my
eyebrow lift. I wasn’t sure if I was teasing him or myself as the question
floated from my mouth.
He laughed. It was soothing and comforting like a
coffee-and-Kahlua on a cold night, and warm like the sun on the first few days
of summer.
I allowed my eyes to close and imagined he looked like somebody
else—not someone else totally, but just different. Fit, not slender but
muscular. He still had the same gracious smile and inviting eyes, but he wasn’t
wearing a music T-shirt in my imagination. Maybe a Henley? And dark-wash jeans
instead of the regular everyday ragged blue I’d noticed him wearing.
“It’s work too,” he said, interrupting my fantasy.
“Oh.” I chugged the balance of my mimosa, cooling the wash of
desire recently conjured up from my brain.
“Actually, I’m pretty sure BubblePOP
will end up reviewing this one, will probably have someone at the premiere too.
That’s why I asked about the site. Six degrees of Kevin Bacon and all that. Our
worlds are connected.”
“I don’t do movies. I’m the fitness editor, but if Katie
What’s-her-name is in it, I’m sure we’ll be all over it.”
He shifted his gaze over fully to me now. His eyes weren’t
exclusively deep brown; tiny flecks of amber circled his pupil. They were
captivating in a weird way, as if they didn’t belong with this guy.
I’d never met a slob who was so interesting before, yet he was
definitely intriguing. And not really a slob—that was my own bias. Clearly, I
was having some sort of psychotic breakdown on this airplane.
