Book Excerpt
“You’re quite
lovely, Lia. Pity you’re leaving soon. I’d like to take you—” he paused,
tracing his thumb over my lower lip. I shuddered. “—out. Again.”
“You would?” I
asked hoarsely.
Nodding, he stroked
the curve of my cheek. “Are you coming back to Glasgow after the wedding?”
“Yeah…yes.
Saturday.”
Backing away from
him, I bumped into the arm of the couch. I almost toppled over it, but managed
to steady myself. Being in his presence made me so damn skittish, it was
frustrating.
“I’m supposed to
make an appearance at a cocktail party for my grandfather’s company.”
Oh good, he’s busy.
“You should come. Or we could go out to dinner.” Like
an apparition, he was in front of me, stroking his fingers along my arm.
“What do you say?
Fancy spending the night with me?”
The unspoken
promise behind that question nearly shattered me on the spot. This was supposed
to be an easy trip across the pond. Go to the wedding, hang out with the family
and go home. Not fend off an amazingly sexy, impossible-to-resist guy.
“Stop
overthinking,” he ordered.
Stormy, dark eyes
carved a path through my skull. I wilted beneath the strength of his stare. A
shaky breath escaped my lips as he traced his finger along my jaw and down my
neck. He drew me into his hypnotic orbit with such ease. I was powerless to
resist.
“This is
inevitable, Amelia. Don’t deny it.”
Inevitable? Each
stroke of his fingers left a fiery trail in its wake. The smooth, soft skin of
his cheek brushed against mine.
“Come with me.”
Oh Jesus, those
three words. I jolted out of his seductive haze like
I was on fire, trying to avoid his eyes. His expression was one of pure lust.
“No,” I whispered.
His mouth fell open
slightly in surprise. “No?”
“No,” I repeated,
louder. “Do you not hear that word very often?”
Impassivity
dominated his features. He studied me as though I was the most confusing
creature on the planet. We stood so close to one another I was overcome by his
intoxicating scent.
“Why not?”
“Because,” I
sighed. “I’m not interested.”
“In what, Lia? Food
or drinks?”
“You know what I
mean.”
About the Book
Title: Catch my Breath
Author: Lynn Montagano
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Lia Meyers’ plan for a relaxing Scottish
vacation is short-lived when one uncharacteristic moment of clumsiness
lands her in the arms of a dangerously attractive Englishman.
The perfect opportunity for a much
needed holiday romance? Wrong! Lia’s still reeling from the mother of
all bad breakups, and she really doesn’t have the patience for Alastair
Holden – despite his effortless charm and sexy British accent.
Arrogant and totally inscrutable, he’s
exactly the sort of guy she wants to avoid but can’t: the man behind the
mystery proves just too tempting to resist.
Drawn to him, Lia is forced to battle
with her own insecurities, and the closer they become, the more she
recognizes her own weaknesses as she peels away his layers with every
night they spend together. Discovering the past Alastair is so desperate
to conceal, Lia must decide if they can heal one another together or if
their deepest fears will tear them apart.
