romance
Publisher: SilkWords
Date of Publication: April 2
Cover Artist: Indie Designz
Book Description:
Welcome to B’s Book Labyrinth and
Bistro! The first novelette in this SilkWords Shared World Series, Sweet Trouble
is the story of smart and feisty bookstore owner Bronte and sexy Seattle-area
rock musician Brody.
Brody appears at the store’s
grand opening to pick up a book recommended by an ex-girlfriend — and to meet
the woman responsible for him losing his apartment.
The awkward first meeting does
nothing to dampen the instant chemistry, but with Bronte wrangling menus, book
buyers, and the resident ghost, and Brody’s rockstar-complicated past, can
either of them afford even the sweetest kind of trouble?

Excerpt:
Heading for the
stairs, I met Trissa coming down. “You’ll never believe it!” she whispered
urgently.
“What’s up?”
“I think Lenny
Kravitz is here.”
Having Annabelle
on my mind, I had braced myself for news of mischief directed at customers.
Relieved, and feeling a little mischievous myself, I raised my eyebrows and
replied, “Who?”
She groaned and
rolled her eyes. “God! Do you do anything but read?”
As the grin I’d
suppressed broke free, she frowned in annoyance. “B! You have to go talk to
him.”
“It’s not Lenny
Kravitz.”
“Come on.”
She grabbed my
arm and dragged me upstairs to the fantasy section, where she gave me a shove
toward a man in distressed denim and black leather. He stood eyeing a shelf on
the L-through-P aisle.
To be fair, he
could’ve been Lenny Kravitz — like twenty years ago. This guy’s denim was truly
distressed, not distressed by machines for that perfect, overpriced lived-in look.
And the cracks in his leather jacket traced a map of a rugged landscape in some
unknown, dark country. The heel and sole of one of his motorcycle boots were
held together by duct tape. He was as poor as I used to be. Maybe poorer.
But his sculpted
features were framed by a glorious but compact starburst of spiky dark hair
bleached burnt-orange at the ends. And I’d stake my store on him being a
musician.
As I stood there
studying him, he looked up, and I took a few steps forward. “Can I help you find
something?”
His eyes moved
over me, but not in a way that felt creepy. He was studying me back. And what
he was probably seeing was that the money I’d spent on my outfit would have
bought him groceries for a month. It wasn’t the way I usually dressed. Well, it
was now. But a year ago my clothes were all the same vintage as his.
“You work here?”
he asked.
“I … ” I
couldn’t bring myself to say I was the owner. “Yes. Can I help you?”
“Do you have
sci-fi? This is all fantasy.”
I nodded. “We’ve
got them in two sections. If you’ll follow me … ”
