I'm delighted to have my Wild Rose Press friend - Joanne Stewart - visiting again, today.
The cover for A Second Chance at Forever is fantastic! I really have to read this book sometime soon (adjust that TBR) - since the blurb and excerpt sound too great to miss out on! Enjoy!
Recently divorced and working two jobs, Angela Lewis has no
room in her life for love. Yet when her childhood crush finds her at the
nightclub where she works as the sexy stripper, Candy Cane, and expresses his
interest, Angela can’t resist. She only wants one night to live the fantasy her
alter ego provides.
Alex McKinley is still trying to pick up the pieces of his
shattered life, and one night with Candy is exactly what he needs. He gets more
than he bargained for, however, when he discovers she's the little sister of
his best friend. Suddenly little Angie’s all grown up and driving him
crazy.
The more time he spends with Angela, the more Alex
finds himself falling for the woman she’s become. She makes him want to live
again. But can he convince her to take a chance on him?
Excerpt:
“When is your birthday, Alex?”
The minute the words left her mouth she wanted to suck them back.
When Alex’s gaze snapped to hers, heat blazed up her neck and into her cheeks.
The question gave her away, revealed her thoughts as surely as if she’d spoken
them out loud. In front of her family, no less. Oh, her, and her big mouth....
To make matters worse, desire and recognition flared in Alex’s eyes,
the memory rising between them.
A night neither one of them could forget. She remembered only too
well him telling her exactly that.
“Two weeks,” he said.
“Got any plans?” she asked, to cover the need that sparked in her
belly. Like an ember stoked into a tiny flame. One that if given the right
amount of fuel could consume her.
Alex didn’t respond the way she’d anticipated, however. The
expression drained from his face, his features going stony. Tension rose tight
and prickly in the air around them.
Brock looked up from the grill.
Alex shook his head and rose from his seat, his jaw tight, a stiff
set to his shoulders that had unease settling in her stomach. “No.” Then he
turned to Brock. “Beer in the fridge?”
Brock nodded. Without so much as a glance in her direction, Alex
moved around her, stepping through the sliding glass doors into the darkness of
the house.
Angela turned to Brock, fear and confusion pounding in her breast.
“I said something wrong.”
Her brother shook his head. “It’s his story. He should be the one to
tell you.”
She nodded, then turned to stare at the doorway Alex had just
disappeared through. She swallowed hard and followed after him.
