The Remingtons: Catching up with Love
International Bestselling Author Amy Manemann
When
event coordinator, Liza Daley, finds herself dumped right before Christmas, she
begins to question her life choices. A trip to a bed and breakfast outside of
town might be the trick to clear her head, except her solitude is interrupted
by the one man who has consumed her every waking thought for the past year.
Baseball catcher, Nolan Collins, has wanted Liza Daley
from the moment they met. Out of respect, he’s kept his distance, but it’s
nearly killed him to see her settling for a man who isn’t good enough for her.
Liza deserves to be loved and cherished, and the longer he waits, the more he
realizes he wants to be the man who gives her that.
While
the snow continues to fall and temperatures drop, things heat up inside the
B&B as Nolan shows Liza there are more things to life than what she’s let
herself settle on, like finally getting the chance to catch up with love.
Excerpt:
Before
she could call out a good morning greeting, he suddenly jumped, releasing a
stream of curses that would have made a sailor blush.
“Are
you alright…” her voice trailed off as his fingers dug beneath the hem of his
shirt and he pulled it over his head with a jerk, revealing the mouthwatering
muscles that lay beneath. Washboard abs, hard pecks, and muscles bulged
everywhere she looked, and she naughtily looked her fill. Oh Lord, she breathed, desire pulsing through
every inch of her body. He was going to be the death of her.
A
hint of a smile curved the corners of his mouth when she finally met his gaze,
and the breath caught in the back of her throat at the hungry desire in his
eyes.
“Good
morning,” he said huskily, tossing his shirt into the sink and turning on the
tap. “Sleep well?”
“Mm-hm,”
was the only legible response she could come up with, her brain sluggish
against the fog of desire blanketing her. She really needed to get a grip.
Except all she could focus on were the rippling muscles on display. He was
going to have to put a shirt on if she was going to have any coherent thoughts
today.
“You
keep undressing me with your eyes like that and we’ll be late for breakfast,”
he mused aloud. Liza was thankful he wasn’t looking at her, because she was
fairly certain her cheeks were bright red at that moment.
Clearing
her throat, she tossed her long hair over her shoulder, leaning a hip against
the countertop. “It’s not my fault you decided to do a strip tease in the
kitchen.”
This
time he looked at her, a grin cracking his face. “I don’t know if you were
aware of it, but bacon grease hurts like a bitch when it hits you. Plus, I
didn’t want my shirt to get ruined. It’s one of my favorites.”
Though
soaking wet, he held up the faded t-shirt, the tell-tale insigne for the
Marlins peeking back at her. She should have guessed.
“Nice
shirt.” She tapped her fingers on the countertop, noticing for the first time
that they were alone in the kitchen. “No Penelope today?”
“Nope,
I convinced her to let me make breakfast this morning, promising I wouldn’t
burn the house down. I hope you like bacon, eggs and toast.”
As
if on cue, Liza’s stomach rumbled loudly. They both laughed.
“I’ll
take that as a yes.” He wrung water from his shirt, shutting off the tap with
his elbow. Droplets of water run down the front of his pecs, and Liza followed
them hungrily.
“Not
that I don’t appreciate the show,” she let her eyes linger on his abs, “but if
you expect me to eat breakfast with you, it’d go a lot smoother if you put on a
shirt.”
With
a grin that sent her stomach somersaulting, Nolan dropped the shirt in the sink
and stalked towards her, crowding her space with his body until she was completely
off balance. Liza grabbed hold of the first thing she came in contact with,
which just so happened to be his broad shoulder. His arm snaked around her
waist, holding her in place as the heat of his skin seared her hand, burning
through her clothes. What she wouldn’t give to be skin to skin with him right
now.
“Are
you sure about that, Sweet Cheeks? Your lips,” his heavy stare landed on her
mouth for a full second before rising back to her eyes, “say one thing, but
your eyes are saying something else.”
Amy Manemann's Other Remington Kindle World Romances
After
years of paying her dues, Ava Sweet finally owns the taffy shop of her dreams.
Her grandmother's signature recipes are beginning to make a statement in Soho,
NY, and with the help of her friend, Leanna Remington, she has her eyes set on
the upcoming Big Apple Sweets Convention to put her shop on the map. The only
problem, she's been accused of stealing a recipe by the hunky Boy Scout from
the fudge and candy shop next door.
Hudson James is always ready and willing to lend a helping hand, especially at
his family's fudge and candy shop. They're looking to showcase some new recipes
at the upcoming sweets convention in the hopes of regaining the notoriety their
shop has always been known for. Until the owner of the taffy shop next door
creates a recipe so similar to theirs that Hudson doesn't hesitate to call her
out on it.
In a world of sugary creations and high pressure candy making, adding a dash of
romance isn't part of the recipe. With the sweets convention only a week away,
Ava and Hudson will need to try and keep their eye on the prize, even while
their hearts are being pulled by love.
Tough
as nails publicist, Mia Scott, has built her career by dodging the advances
from her elite clientele. Her number one rule; never mix business with
pleasure. Until a split second decision leads her to a night of unbridled
passion and the morning after blues when she discovers the man she spent an
amazing night with is her newest client.
Professional baseball pitcher, Evan Ahrens, knows he messed up, and messed up
royally. One mistake on the field puts him on thin ice with the league and
lands him a new PR rep to fix his soiled image. He goes to NightCaps to toss
back a few drinks and blow off some steam and meets his match in a feisty dark
haired woman who takes him to heights he's never been. There's only one problem
she's his new publicist, and
she's made it clear there will be no repeat performances.
A battle of wills gives way to uncontrollable passion as Mia fights her growing
feelings to keep things professional, while Evan decides for once in his life
he wants something more. The game just went from saving his career, to pitching
for love.
