Who knew the girl who spent most of her Saturday nights watching Doctor Who marathons with her best friend would end up becoming a reality television star? Not Emma MacLean.
Emma tried to leave the nerdy girl behind as the Vice President of Operations for billionaire venture capitalist, Terrance Hunt, on the hit show Hunt for Life. When double tragedies occur on the same day, Emma is out of a job, but the cameras and a nation of fans continue to follow her.
Rob “Bobby” Breyer lived and breathed the professional wrestling circuit for five years. Rob happens to be a devoted Hunt for Life fan due to a chance meeting with Emma while in high school. When he reaches out to Emma in her time of crisis, he never imagines how much it will change his life.
After twelve years, their attraction still sizzles and this time, Rob's not letting Emma get away. As the cameras roll, Emma's new career and Rob's quest for glory are in the spotlight. When the heat is on, they'll need all the support they can get from the Nerdy Girl Nation.
Lindsey Gray
Lindsey Gray typed her first complete novel at the age of twelve and dreamed of making her writing into a career. When her eighth grade class wrote a twenty year reunion story, casting her as a mystery novelist, she wasn't sure she could make it a reality. After years of writing off and on, she decided to make a go of it. In December of 2010 she finally made her dream come true with her first published novel, Lies Inside. Five years and thousands of written words later, Lindsey is releasing her seventh published work, Nerdy Girl Nation.
When Lindsey takes a break from writing, she spends time with her husband of thirteen years and their two children, reading all kinds of romance novels, and hosting her own weekly radio show, Gray Matters, on TMV Cafe Internet Radio.
Excerpt
“Perfect!” Cherry instructed.
“You're a natural.” Cherry turned her head to Aaron. “You think
we can convince her to fight in a real match?”
Emma laughed as she got off
Peaches and helped her up.
“Never say never, Emma.”
Harry cocked his eyebrow at her.
Sometimes she hated how well her
brother got her. He would pick this moment to remember her childhood
daydream of becoming a women's champion. Harry would use this as an
opportunity to share it with the world if she didn't shut him down.
“Enough of your mouth.” Her
eyes drifted from her brother to the crowd of people who gathered
around the ring.
Emma’s heart leapt into her
throat. Rob Breyer stared right at her with a brilliant smirk on his
face. Sweat drenched hair, crystal blue eyes, killer smile, and a
body currently making her lady parts ache rattled her entire being.
“Good to see you again, Emma.”
Rob offered his hand to help her out of the ring.
“You too, Rob.” She
immediately backtracked. “I mean, Bobby.”
“Rob is fine.” She realized
she held his hand a bit longer than she needed to and reluctantly
pulled away. “It's been a while.”
“Twelve years.” Emma lost
herself in his eyes, but the real world intruded when Aaron spoke up.
“That's right, you two know
each other,” Aaron mentioned with a sideways glance at Rob.
“Emma was part of one of the
most important days of my life.” Rob's smile intimated something
sinful. She needed to set things straight.
“What he means is I was there
the day he won the national wrestling championship against my
boyfriend.”
Rob turned to Aaron and continued
the story. “I met her and her boyfriend, Derek, during the
tournament. Derek and I were both shocked when we advanced to the
final match against each other.”
“Rob won the match after Derek
put him through the ringer.” Emma laughed at the memory of the two
teenagers rolling around on the mat.
“Yes, but Derek got the girl.”
Rob's smile was genuine and caused a flush to creep up Emma's neck to
her cheeks.
“Didn't last much longer,”
Harry quipped. “Not after—”
Emma smacked Harry on the
shoulder. “I don't think this is the time or place to get into my
lackluster love life.”
“Oh, I don't know. I might be
interested in hearing what an idiot my old pal Derek is.” Rob
walked over next to Harry like they were old friends.
Emma grabbed Harry's arm, pulled
it around his back and forced it upward. “Don't you dare.”
“I give! I give!” Emma let go
as the crowd around them laughed. “I taught you well, young
Padawan.”
