Synopsis:
How
far would you go to save everything?
Life
hadn’t dealt Lauren St. John a fair hand, yet she considered herself lucky to
be living on the majestic shores of Lake Michigan running the business her
parents worked their whole lives to create... Until now.
Facing
the possibility of losing The Grandview Inn and her relationship with Jake
Kennedy, the man she vowed to marry, “Lo” is desperate to hold on.
In
the middle of her anguish, the unexpected arrival of longtime
guests,
Tom and Mary Blackwell, seems like a welcome relief, but just when she thinks
things couldn’t get any worse, she discovers they’ve brought along an unwelcome
ghost from her past.
Enter
the dangerously seductive Parker Blackwell, renowned poker player and notorious
bad boy, with a propensity for kinky sex.
Seven
summers ago, the gauntlet was thrown down from the moment Lo and Parker laid
eyes on each other. Too young to realize the gravity of their connection, their
friendship grew until a series of tragic events began to unfold, and Parker
mysteriously disappeared, leaving Lo heartbroken and unwilling to forgive.
Grown
up now, and suddenly forced to confront their unresolved feelings and
undeniably explosive sexual attraction, the situation intensifies into an
enticing and comical game of “it’s your move”. But when Parker raises the
stakes too high will Lo put herself on the line to save everything she’s ever
known?

Excerpt #1
I’m not normally attracted to bad boys,
and he was the perfect
specimen, but there was an air of
confidence about him that came from more
than just his stunning good looks, and it
beckoned me to investigate. He
was picture perfect in every way…but as
you know looks can be deceiving.
As I began to recover from my momentary
brain lapse vague memories began
to surface in the back of my mind. I
couldnt put my finger on it, but
there was something very familiar about
those dimples…
Excerpt #2
My eyes blinked open slowly, trying to
adjust to the sunlight pouring
through the windows overlooking the Vegas
strip, and I could hear the
faint sound of my phone ringing from
somewhere in the room. Any other time
it would take a lot more than a phone
call to pry me from the arms of two
lovely naked bodies like these, but I had
a strange feeling this could be
important, so I climbed carefully out of
bed to find out.
“Parker! You sound tired. I hope I didn’t
wake you dear. What time zone
are you in?”
I’d never felt dirtier than I did
standing there, listening to the sound
of Aunt Mary’s sweet voice as my eyes
watched the scene taking place in
the middle of my bed. I took one last
peek at Lexi's attempt to wake
Ashley using only her tongue before I
shut the door behind me and
reluctantly walked into the other room.
How could something be so wrong
and so right at the same time?
Excerpt #3
The Parker Blackwell I remembered was the
most annoying, frustrating,
immature boy I’d ever met, and he always,
I mean always had to win. He
challenged me at everything, and my
entire summers were spent competing
with him.
I grabbed my phone and tried to call my
best friend, Nina. She knew our
history, and she was the only person who
would understand what I was going
through right now. Straight to voicemail.
Shit!
This may seem like an outrageous reaction
coming from a
twenty-four-year-old woman, but if you
only knew the torture I endured you
would understand. He got under my skin in
every way, and although I never
admitted it to anyone, I secretly loved
him and hated him all at the same
time. He was exhausting, sexy and
maddening, and I daydreamed about him
constantly. He was the reason I practiced
kissing my pillow at night, and
in the spring I would count the days
until he arrived to begin our
confusing and frustrating game all over
again. Sometimes I thought that he
might like me, too. I often caught him
staring at me, and that time we
kissed he made an attempt at second base,
but I never really knew for
sure. Everything was just a game to
Parker.
Excerpt #4
With the stars twinkling above, the radio
cranked up, and Parker
looking at me like John Travolta looked
at Olivia Newton John post bad
girl transformation, I was having the
time of my life! Right up until the
moment those flashing lights appeared in
the rear view mirror.
I should have seen it coming, but in the
heat of the moment it never
occurred to me that my dad might think
his car was stolen and call the
cops. He never suspected that his “Golden
Girl” would have driven off into
the night with Danny fucking Zuko. I’ll
never forget the look on his face
when I got out of the back of that cop
car.
Hindsight.
