Thank you so much, Caroline
for welcoming me to your blog. I’m pretty excited about the release of the
first book in my Welcome to Ravenwood series ~ MAN OF HER DREAMS.
About MAN OF HER DREAMS:
Making it in a man’s world as
a home renovation expert is tough, but Lindsay Swanson’s up for the job,
leaving no time for family and friends, let alone any kind of social life.
Jared Kane moved to Ravenwood
for some much needed peace and quiet to finish his next book, which is hard to
do when he’s hired his sexy neighbor to renovate his kitchen.
Then Lindsay overhears Jared
talking about her notebook. A notebook wherein she and her BFF – after one too
many bad dates and one too many glasses wine – concocted a checklist of the
perfect guy. Is Jared the real deal, or has he been molding himself into the
man of her dreams to get past her defenses?
A Fun Excerpt from MAN OF HER DREAMS:
(Author’s Note) – Some scenes
were so much fun to write, and I loved the friendship between Lindsay and Tina
(also her sister-in-law). I hope you enjoy
The
whine of a miter saw became louder.
What
was he doing now?
Lindsay
minimized the application on her computer and swiveled to look out the second
story window. Her home office overlooked the new neighbor’s driveway. A
neighbor who’d become extremely distracting.
She
couldn’t make out his features, with a baseball cap covering his face from her
elevated view, but she sure could see his body. At that moment Tina’s ringtone
sang out.
“Hello?”
“What’s
shakin’ bacon? Still watching Hot Stuff next door?”
Lindsay
dropped the curtain as if burned.
“No.”
She faced her computer, which had gone into screen saver mode. “I’m at my
computer.” She jiggled her mouse and a CAD program popped up, displaying a
current renovation.
“You
are such a liar. I’ll bet you haven’t touched your mouse until right now.”
Lindsay
let go of the mouse. How did Tina always know what she was doing? It was like
she had a spy camera in her office.
“I
shouldn’t have told you what he was doing.”
“Well,
you did and now I want to know more.”
“You’re
a married woman. You shouldn’t think this way.”
Tina
laughed out loud. “I may be married, but I’m not dead. Besides, I can look at
the dessert tray as long as I don’t place an order.” Lindsay imagined Tina’s
eyebrows waggling while she spoke.
“Come on, woman. Feed my avarice.”
“Avarice?”
“I’m
doing crosswords at the doctor’s office while I wait for my appointment. Stop
stalling. Give me details. Have you figured out what he’s up to?”
Lindsay
stood, and partially concealed by her curtains she watched, as she had for most
of the morning. What she saw pushed her pulse into overdrive.
All
sweaty in a pair of low-rise Levi’s and scruffy work boots, Hot Stuff grabbed a
water bottle and sucked back huge gulps. As his thirst was quenched, her mouth
became paradoxically drier. His wide shoulders and hard chest looked as though
they’d been sculpted by Michelangelo himself. Twin ropes of muscles carved
around six pack abs, causing her heart to trip along a little faster.
“Well?”
Tina whispered into the phone.
“He’s
finished clearing the backyard.” Lindsay whispered back. “Now he’s cutting
lumber, but they’re too short for even a deck.”
“More.
Give me more.”
“I
don’t know if you’re ready for this. He’s shirtless.”
“You’re
killing me,” Tina groaned. “Is he built?”
“Like
a Greek god.”
“Noooo….
So unfair. I don’t have any hot neighbors, just acres and acres of corn
fields.”
