Lust Actually
Heather Long
Tempting Signs Book 1
Fated Desires Publishing
Release Date: March 24, 2015
Ethan Andrews makes his living reading people and
tailoring his sales pitch to what they want. He lives his life on the road,
traveling from city to city, hotel to hotel, and it all works for him until he
meets Norah Silver—the woman he wants to come home to.
Norah Silver has a plan, one that requires focus and
dedication. She’s working sixty to eighty hours a week between her two jobs—one
for money and the other for her passion. She thrives on giving solid
relationship advice that may be based in the stars, but also grounded in
reality. The last thing she expected was to find a sizzling love connection of
her own.
Sparks fly when these two stubborn Aries launch into
an impulsive relationship. Telling themselves lust is actually enough turns out
to be a lie, but can these rams bend enough to recognize
Excerpt:
“I am so tired of being the orange crayon,” Norah
Silver said, swirling the red wine around in her glass.
Tina Prentiss, her best friend and confidante,
sputtered. “The what?”
“The orange crayon,” Norah repeated before taking a
drink of the burgundy.
It had a bite to it, a sweet, smoky burn that
cascaded down her throat and warmed her belly. Since it was likely the warmest
companion she would be taking to bed that night, she planned to indulge. She
didn’t have to work for the next three days, and Tina herself was heading out
of town on a late flight. Meeting for drinks had been an impulse, the kind they
really should indulge in more often.
“Okay, that’s what I thought you said, and I’m not
following.”
Like Norah, Tina worked two jobs—one where she
managed funds as an accountant by day and another where she wrote music at
night. She’d even sold some of her jingles. Her weekend getaway had been funded
by a cupcake commercial she’d scored. Thirty seconds for three thousand
dollars. Not bad work if a person could get it.
“The one always left in the box…you know when you’re
a kid and you do a lot of coloring? You use the blues for the sky and the
water, the green for the grass, and white for clouds and yellow for the sun.
Red shows up for flowers or shoes or cars….”
“Or fire engines,” Tina added helpfully.
“Yes, fire engines. Right. Brown even gets a cut of
the action for people and for tree bark. But orange? Orange sits in the box
untouched and unblemished. It’s always the sharpest crayon, but the least used.
The paper isn’t crinkled…and if it rolled off the table and onto the floor and
beneath a chair to lie forgotten—no one would notice.”
