Book Excerpt
Sophia
asked, “Is there more parking out back? I can move my car. You
know, to make way for someone else,” she added lamely. She bit her lip,
which drew his gaze to it.
Connor
replied, “Usually only family parks there, but I can move your car for you if
you’d like.”
She
nodded and he came around to her side of the desk. When she extended the
keys, he let his fingers brush her palm while scooping them up. She
looked down and then turned to watch him go, eyes dropping to his tight ass as
he slipped on shoes.
“Hey,
Connor,” she began, and he turned. “Thank you.”
He
flashed his best smile. “You’re welcome, Sophia. I’ll do everything
I can to make your stay a great one.”
Outside,
Connor’s eyebrows shot up on reaching her car. He saw what looked like
fresh damage on the driver’s side, as if she’d scraped along something
black. Curious, he walked around to the back and saw the bumper had been
struck, too, also by a black vehicle, judging by the smudged paint. He
checked the front and passenger sides of the vehicle but saw nothing.
Then he noticed her watching him from inside, looking impatient.
He
got in, seeing only empty plastic bags, candy wrappers, a discarded coffee mug,
and an empty pretzel bag. The car came to life and he backed up, then
pulled it around back on the gravel driveway, stopping beside his blue BMW 3
series convertible. He was about to turn off the engine when a hunch made
him put the car in reverse and back it into the detached garage, closing the
garage door. If someone was after Sophia, he wasn’t letting them have
her. And as long as she was under his roof, she was under his protection.
As he walked toward the house, a Dodge Challenger roared up to
the intersection and stopped, the driver’s dark silhouette turning toward him
for a few moments as the gravel crunched beneath his feet. The car didn’t
move for a long time—longer than was appropriate for a mere stop sign,
considering the absence of other cars—and only when Connor reached the back
door of the inn did the car’s black color register on him. As he opened
the door, the car took off with a squeal of tires on pavement, disappearing
into the darkness. The lights of Sugarloaf Inn gleamed brightly in the
night, and the girl inside smiled at Connor as he reappeared before her.
About the Book
Title: Connor
Author: Randi Everheart
Genre: Contemporary Romance
When Sophia Turner comes home from
college for the summer, she has no idea her stalker is planning to
kidnap her – and worse. But she escapes with the clothes on her back and
nothing more, searching for safety and somewhere to stay.
Connor Kendall is looking forward to a
quiet summer running his bed and breakfast, but when a barefoot Sophia
turns up looking scared and with no bags, he takes her in despite
concern she may have brought trouble with her. She’s hiding something,
he’s sure, and yet he vows that nothing will harm her as long as she’s
staying with him, but the promise might be harder to keep than he’d ever
imagined.
