Three bachelors turned…matchmakers?
One special night with Cooper Hamilton gave Nora Perry a precious gift. But no way is the sweet-talking salesman the right guy for her…or is he?
Former pro athlete Ty Porter could get burned when he falls for the beautiful reporter who ruined his career—and could now expose his most zealously guarded secret!
Gideon Walker has a long history with free-spirited flower shop owner Sophie Jennings. But when the banker-matchmaker fixes her up with potential candidates, he realizes he's made a terrible mistake…
Excerpt #2 – The Matchmaker Wore Skates
Kelsey
waited while the women filled out the updated surveys. Ty maneuvered through
another group of men gathered around the weathered oak bar like a practiced
politician coaxing constituents to renounce their party and join his rogue
revolt. But unlike a sleazy politician, nothing in Ty’s interactions was false
or forced or insincere. His handshakes included the grip on the shoulder as an
added measure of contact. There was camaraderie. Good-natured ribbing. Laughter:
quick bursts, gusts and low rumbles.
And answered
prayers. Several clean male faces appeared, if she included the two with
stubble and the one goatee over at the pool table.
Once the
women finished the surveys, Ty came by, moving into her space.
The air
shifted around her, brushing the back of her bare neck, forcing a quick shiver.
“Looks like you needed me after all, Ty. I don’t see another available woman in
here.”
Ty leaned
down to whisper in her ear. “Let’s be clear, K.J., we’ve seen these ladies
before. They’ve taken our survey before. You’ve done nothing for me.”
But he did
something for her. The rasp in his voice skated through her, carving a path of
warmth over all those chilled places within. Caution flags snapped.
He turned
away, his tone ratcheted from a rich rumble to a good-natured greeting.
“Ladies, welcome to the Bar & Grill. Shall we see where this evening takes
us?”
The women
Kelsey had invited swelled around her, snared no doubt by the hint of
temptation in Ty’s warm voice. And like that, she was dismissed.
Too
much heat made her light-headed anyway. Better she was cold. She could always
add more layers. Kelsey rubbed her hands together and moved to the bar to get a
drink.
Award winning, USA Today bestseller Melinda Curtis writes the Harmony Valley series of sweet and emotional romances for Harlequin Heartwarming, and the sweet romantic comedy Bridesmaid series. A Memory Away is Book 6 in the Harmony Valley series. Brenda Novak says: “Season of Change has found a place on my keeper shelf”. Melinda also writes hotter romances as Mel Curtis. Jayne Ann Krentz says of Blue Rules: “Wonderfully entertaining.”
You’ve met Anna J. Stewart (or someone like her) before. She was the girl who spun in circles on the playground hoping her Wonder Woman costume would magically appear before playing cops and robbers a la Charlie’s Angels–as Sabrina (she was the smart one). Anna was the girl in the back of the class with a paperback romance hidden in her algebra book (and yes, she failed algebra).
Growing up in the 70′s and 80′s meant there weren’t a lot of YA books, so she ventured early into mainstream fiction and read Stephen King’s CARRIE at the age of 8. Discovering Nora Roberts and romance novels early in high school opened her eyes to the wonders of storytelling and the beauty of a happily ever after.
So here she is, many years later with an English degree from CSU Sacramento, an RWA Golden Heart nomination behind her, countless stories in her head, and a serious addiction to STAR TREK, SUPERNATURAL, and SHERLOCK. She recently wrapped up a nearly 8-year stint working as assistant to NYTimes bestselling author Brenda Novak where she helped run Brenda's annual online auction for diabetes research. When she's not writing or reading (which she never has enough time for!), she's working on dollhouse miniatures and tolerating her overly-affectionate cat named Snickers (or perhaps it's Snickers who tolerates her).
