SPRING’S SURPRISE
by Cynthia
Gail
Sara Michaels is single again. And she's celebrating her thirtieth birthday with a complete spa makeover and a day of boutique shopping with her two best friends. After a ten-month battle for freedom, a long weekend in Nashville, Tennessee is just what she needs to erase the memories of a broken heart.
Jack Tanner is the soon-to-be new partner at Chester & Dorsey Development Firm. Jack's love life has been on the back burner for years as he's built a successful career. But the moment he meets Sara, he takes a hard look at his life and his priorities.
Sara steps out of her comfort zone and spends and unforgettable weekend with Jack. She's never felt so carefree. Until she realizes too late that three days can change everything.
EXCERPT:
Jack was leaning against a post, about halfway between the
barn and the porch, when he saw Sara come out of the house.
God, she was gorgeous. Every inch of his body stirred as he
watched her approach him in a pair of form-fitting black jeans. She had her
hair down and wore a long necklace that hung low on her neck, bringing his eyes
to the low cut of her shimmery blue blouse.
If that wasn’t enough to make his blood boil, she was
wearing a pair of high-heeled black sandals that showed off her sexy red
toenails he’d noticed the previous night.
He felt like a teenager going on his first date. He didn’t
know what to say. You’re pretty didn’t seem to do justice, but he hated to be
the slobbering fool, constantly telling her how beautiful or amazing she
looked. Even though she did.
He wished their situation wasn’t so complicated. He was
getting ready to make a huge move in his professional life that would take him
farther away from her.
How could life be so cruel, to introduce him to such an
amazing woman, the kind he could really see himself falling for, just to say
that he couldn’t have her?
Or maybe life wasn’t saying he couldn’t have her. Maybe long
distance was just temporary. Maybe . . .

My
husband and I live in the suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee with our
eighteen-year-old son and three dogs. When I’m not working or writing, I can be
found with family and friends. I love to bake in the winter, grill in the summer,
and on occasion, I sneak away from everyone and curl up with a good book.
I
hope you enjoy my stories. Each one touches on modern day issues, fears, and challenges that
women face every day. And each one illustrates that love is within reach if you
let down those walls and allow your heart to open. Our lives and experiences
are so much more meaningful when we have someone to share them with.
Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for hosting me today, Caroline!
I just know that if I was wearing those high heels I'd be falling all over myself - in front of him.
