Here is the blurb to familiarize yourself with my book, "A Mountain of Deception."
Tessa Cooper has taken a year long sabbatical from teaching English at a university to go to the mountains of Tennessee to write a novel. She didn't intend to fall in love with the handyman while there or to find herself caught in the middle of some illegal activities, but there she was.
From all outward appearances, Silas Newberry is a man with secrets, including being involved in some bad things. Inadvertently, he has brought Tessa into the middle of them. In his heart, he cares deeply for her, but to keep her safe, he may have to end it, even if she doesn't want to let go.
Excerpt:
Silas walked over
next to Tessa. "Damn right, I'm jealous. He's blonde, blue-eyed, tanned,
tall, and muscle bound. Isn't that what women swoon over?"
She finished
washing the glass, dried her hands, and stood in front of him. "You have
nothing to worry about." She touched his long hair. "I love running
my fingers through your long brown hair." She touched his cheek ever so
lightly. "And, a rugged, slightly bristled face with dark brown eyes. As
for tanned skin, well if you remember, when we first met in August, you had
very tanned skin from working outside so much and then, there are those
muscles." She ran her hands down his upper arms. "Every time I see
you in one of your t-shirts that hug your muscles, I want to rip that shirt off
with my teeth." She placed her arms around his neck and kissed him. He
drew her in closer.
When the kiss
ended, she made her final claim, forehead to forehead, "Most importantly, you love
me and I love you. So, like I said, you have nothing to worry about."
