Book Blurb:
Coach
Blake McLemore loves women. All women. The way they look. The way they smell.
The way he feels when he is with them. But he has yet to meet one he wants to
commit to much less spend a lifetime with. Until he meets Krystan.
Krystan
Parks breaks free from an abusive marriage. While she and her son escape to a peaceful
small town, danger follows them. The last thing she wants is another man in her
life. Until she meets Blake.
What
are the odds for a matchup between a jaded single mom on the run and the
handsome ladies’ man protecting her from a dangerous ex-husband? Will their
season end with a strikeout or a homerun?
Excerpt from Blues Skies of Summer
Blake McLemore stared in horror as a stranger bolted into
the Yellow Butterfly Café wielding a handgun. A customer screamed. Familiar
faces of the regular lunch crowd packed the restaurant. Friends, neighbors, and
three of his baseball players. Moments before, conversation, laughter, and
sounds of people eating filled the room. Now, everyone fell silent.
“Krystan.” The shout drew Blake’s
attention back to the gunman. “I know you’re here.” The man edged along the
side wall of the dining area scanning every table with the barrel pointed as he
moved. “I’ll start shooting until you come out.” The cashier fainted when he
swung the gun in her direction.
Frustrated, Blake was too far away
to tackle the guy. Any wrong moves and someone would be injured—or worse.
Mia, the café owner, eased
through the kitchen door with her hands up. “Krystan isn’t here.”
“You’re lying. If she doesn’t
come out, you’re the first one I’ll shoot.” He yelled louder, “Krystan.”
Blake grew up with Mia, and she
never shied away from anything, yet her voice tremored, and fear clouded her
eyes.
“I swear she left.”
The man aimed the gun toward her
and fired.
A frisson of fear shot through
Blake. Seconds passed before he released the breath he held while waiting to
discover Mia’s fate. Cold sweat trickled down his back.
