Tara Lee had only been looking for new brushes when she visits the art supply shop, but when she runs into the tall, dark, and delicious football star she can't deny the immediate attraction. Sparks fly over small talk, and she knows she's in trouble. When a one-night stand turns into so much more, Tara is torn. If Austin knew the truth about who she is, he'd never want her. Should she deny her feelings and walk away, or take the chance and risk her heart?"
Excerpt:
“I had a good time tonight,” Austin said as they walked to her building. She maintained a two-story town home in an older neighborhood that attracted an eclectic group of residents. Artists, musicians, and writers were everywhere, but also many young urban executives had moved into the area.
She leaned back against the front of her door. “You wanna come in?” Her eyes flashed. “For coffee?”
One side of his mouth raised and he inched toward her placing his hands on either side of her head, resting them flat against the wood. “Coffee, huh?”
“You like it hot, don’t you?"
Even though he had been on the sidelines, Austin still understood how to play this game. “Girl,” he said, his southern drawl more pronounced as he moved even closer. “You are driving me crazy.”
She let out a moan as he pressed against her, the large expanse of his upper abs skimming against her breasts. She snaked a hand onto his neck. “You aren’t my type,” she whispered as his lips neared hers.
“You aren’t mine, either.” Before Austin could seal the kiss, Tara had turned and slid the key into the doorknob.
“Come on,” she said, taking his hand. “Get in here.”
If Lori Beth had to choose one word to describe herself, it would be
dreamer. Beginning with the daydreams of her youth, she has spent her
life spinning stories of love and family. After spending many years on a
winding career path that began in retail management and included
three-fun years teaching middle school English, Lori Beth decided to get
serious with this thing called writing. She now works part-time in
higher education student services so that she can devote as much time as
possible to her craft.
Lori Beth has a B.S. in Elementary Education and is ever so slowly
pursuing a M.A. in European History. She is a fervent believer in
lifelong learning that can, but doesn't have to, include formal
education. Music is her muse, books are her passion, and she is an avid
sports fan. Go Colts! Go Reds!
Family, friendships, and social issues are central to her
character-driven stories. Sometimes steamy, sometimes sweet, and often
set in small towns, her tales will surely find a way into your heart.
Lori Beth and her husband reside in southern Indiana and have three
children: two sons in college and one daughter in high school.
