No cliffhanger, only
hard-earned unexpected love.
And angst.
What is it about this guy?
On paper, he’s one hundred
percent wrong for me. His e-mails are equal parts annoying and funny.
Okay, more funny than
annoying. More like refreshing. Different. Exciting.
But as I stand next to him
now, he’s giving me head-to-toe tingles, and I find myself dwelling on his
e-mails.
Meet smart, sexy career
girl and New York snob, Charli Richards. She has everything except happiness
until the day she meets Layton Griffin. It’s a random encounter on an airplane;
it couldn’t mean anything, right?
Layton isn’t even remotely
close to who Charli sees herself hooking up with . . . ever. Her mom and best
friend agree he’s not for her, but he makes her feel something exciting,
awakens her world.
But then Layton changes,
going to great lengths for Charli to see him for who he really is.
Will those changes bring
them closer together, or will she never be able to see him in the same way
again?
Excerpt
“Cheers.” My seatmate
good-naturedly tipped his glass toward me. He wasn’t going to leave me alone.
I took a long gulp and
looked back at my computer screen.
“Do you like working for
them?”
I tugged at my turtleneck;
it was so freaking hot all of a sudden. My nosy neighbor’s face had a slight
sheen to it, clearly from being hot, and now his warmth was seeping into my
space.
“I do. They’re a growing
company and . . . I’ve made great strides there.”
What the heck? Why was I
even answering him? Because he asked, and if I was honest, it was the nicest
anyone had been to me in months.
Furthermore, why did I
sound like I was on an interview? Or an infomercial?
He was kind—I could
tell—and his smile was gentle and calm, his eyes like warm coffee with just the
right amount of cream swirling through it. I turned a little in my seat to face
him and my knee brushed his thigh. I let my gaze travel his Beastie Boys
T-shirt until I settled on his computer.
Playing on it was a rom-com,
one I’d never seen before, but Katie What’s-her-name—all stunning, shiny hair, celebrity mom, perfect life—was front and center. Her arms were
full of shopping bags and she was wearing a big grin on her perfect face as she
walked down a city street.
“You don’t strike me as the
romantic comedy type.” I felt my eyebrow lift. I wasn’t sure if I was teasing
him or myself as the question floated from my mouth.
He laughed. It was soothing
and comforting like a coffee-and-Kahlua on a cold night, and warm like the sun
on the first few days of summer.
I allowed my eyes to close
and imagined he looked like somebody else—not someone else totally, but just
different. Fit, not slender but muscular. He still had the same gracious smile
and inviting eyes, but he wasn’t wearing a music T-shirt in my imagination.
Maybe a Henley? And dark-wash jeans instead of the regular everyday ragged blue
I’d noticed him wearing.
“It’s work too,” he said,
interrupting my fantasy.
“Oh.” I chugged the balance
of my mimosa, cooling the wash of desire recently conjured up from my brain.
“Actually, I’m pretty sure BubblePOP will end up reviewing this
one, will probably have someone at the premiere too. That’s why I asked about
the site. Six degrees of Kevin Bacon and all that. Our worlds are connected.”
“I don’t do movies. I’m the
fitness editor, but if Katie What’s-her-name is in it, I’m sure we’ll be all
over it.”
He shifted his gaze over
fully to me now. His eyes weren’t exclusively deep brown; tiny flecks of amber
circled his pupil. They were captivating in a weird way, as if they didn’t
belong with this guy.
I’d never met a slob who
was so interesting before, yet he was definitely intriguing. And not really a
slob—that was my own bias. Clearly, I was having some sort of psychotic
breakdown on this airplane.
