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.”
