*Cue This Magic Moment by The Drifters
Excerpt
Delia’s head was pounding. The
overhead light made her eyes feel as if they were going to throb out
of their sockets. Her mouth felt like cotton and paste. Getting her
bearings she scanned the hospital room, noticing the three men
standing by the door and a nurse next to the bed checking the IV.
The
doctor, a round little man with too much aftershave and beady eyes
behind his glasses, poked and prodded with sweaty hands. Shining his
pin light in her sensitive eyes he ordered precautionary scans done,
but assured her that he didn’t suspect internal damage and she
should be fine.
Not dead, I’m not dead. The
mantra played over and over again in her head.
“You’re awake.”
This
came from a tall, overly good looking man, that now stood alone in
the room. She searched his face trying to place him. He looked like
he could be an underwear model. Did this man know her? How long had
she been out? These and about a million other questioned popped into
her head. However, before she could even open her mouth the man was
talking again in gentle tones.
He
inched closer to the bed as he spoke as if not to scare her away. Not
that she could go anywhere as weak and disoriented as she felt.
“How ya feel’n? You’ve got
a pretty good gash on your head. I’m sure your head is throbbing.
I’m surprised you’re even awake. I’m Captain Jake Forrester. I
pulled you from your truck. Do you remember anything? Do you know
where you are?”
Feeling even more disoriented
than she did before she said the only thing that she could think of. “I’m not dead.”
With the delivery of one Dear John
letter and a set of divorce papers, Delia Myers is on a her way to
self discovery. First stop: Embracing she's a terrible judge of
character. Especially when it comes to men.
Jake Forrester is a small town cop, who is beyond charming, and
hunky enough to have every female in a hundred mile radius panting
after him. Basically everything she is trying to avoid. Too bad he's
been determined to chase after her from the second he's laid eyes on
her oversized floral granny panties.
She may run, but can she hide from
love?
Warning; Contains one no-good, cheating
ex-husband, a heroine with a propensity to make a run for it, and a
hero that has a new found love for spanking a certain sassy woman who
runs from him.
Chasing Delia is a contemporary romance with spanking--because those are the best kind.
