Happily Ever After by Ruth A. Casie
From a fall from literary stardom to becoming the heroine in
her own romance story, Beth Holmes has turned around her career and her love
life. She owes it all to one very special person.
Jarred Watson has loved Beth since he read her first novel
and suspected the heroine was the embodiment of the author. But the road to
romance was fraught with pitfalls. He almost lost everything because of a conniving
agent and a little white lie that got out of hand. At the eleventh hour, with
honesty and hard work, their book sales are off the charts and a movie deal is
in negotiations.
Interfering families and changed plans take their toll. Will
they go their separate ways or will Holmes and Watson continue their literary
collaboration and personal partnership in order to find their own happily ever
after?
Excerpt:
“Interesting.” He chuckled. “Men are not known for their
empathy.” He brought his chair closer to hers. “Like stress,” he said. “Under
stress, men exhibit the “fight or flight” response.”
Beth nodded. She hadn’t considered the differences in gender
reactions in that context. “Women don’t think fight or flight, at least not
initially. Under stress they work to protect the group. It has to do with
protecting the young and seeing to the family unit. They also think very
differently about sex.”
A sly smile brightened his face. She wanted to slam her hand
over her mouth.
“We do?” He dropped his voice to a low raspy whisper and
sent chills, the good kind, up her back and to other places.
“For a woman, sex starts in their head, not necessarily
between her legs.” Shit. Her face was so hot she was going to go up in flames.
Jeez, that’s what her heroine Jo Dee would say, definitely not Beth Alexander.
“Oh really?” If she thought his soft, male mellow voice or
his smoldering stare couldn’t get any sexier, she got that totally wrong.
“I’m a romance writer. I write about relationships and
emotions,” she replied.
“And sex,” he added. Was he extending an invitation? She
wasn’t a loose woman, but she was more than tempted to say yes. And that was
her notion, not Jo Dee’s.
