Blurb:
Meg is sure she’s made a mistake when she agrees to pick up and Injured Steve, the magazine group’s photographer from the airport. The first moment she saw him, the Blakefield Curse took effect. She fell in love and she was a forever woman. He wasn’t. Spending time with him over the weekend only cements her feelings. She has rules of life and she breaks everyone of them even the new ones she added that weekend.
Steve has been intrigued by Meg and he enjoys her blushes. He’s found ways to raise them but something more is happening here. When she leaves abruptly, he wants to track her down but his broken leg makes pursuit difficult. Now he must find a way to win her over and that takes some time and clever moves.
Excerpt:
Done.” Meg Blakefield closed her laptop and sank back in her chair.
“Move. Friday at last.” Unlike her siblings and co-workers she refused to use
the cliché. And unlike most of them she had no plans for the weekend beyond
revising her rules of life. Should she scrap them and come up with a new set?
Her present ones hadn’t taken her to her desired place, a home with the man of
her dreams. All she’d earned from following those rules was a hand full of
failed relationships.
Her elbows rested on the desk. The next issue of Good Lookin’ was at the
printer’s, a perfect ending for an intense week of work and a very long day.
She yawned.
The office door opened. One of her brothers stepped inside. “Good. You’re
still here.”
She looked up. “You must be seeing things.”
“I need a favor.”
“Sure.” She wanted to bite her tongue a moment too late. She’d just
mangled one of her rules/ Know what you’re agreeing to before you commit to do
a favor or you’ll find yourself in trouble.
“Thanks. You can pick up Steve Martin at the airport tonight. His flight
arrives around nine.”
“Wait a minute.” Meg’s shoulder muscles tensed. Once more she had leaped
into a steaming cauldron. She stared at her brother. What did his cat in the
cream smile mean? Was this some kind of sick joke? “You want me to do what?”
“Go to the airport. Meet Steve’s plane. Drive him home. He spoke each
word is though he spoke to a child.
Meg’s emotions tumbled over each other like stones in a polishing
tumbler. “I’m the last person he would want to see. Remember the scene I
created three weeks ago.” Though she hadn’t shouted her accusations the words
had flowed through the open office door. She would never forget Steve’s
reaction. First an angry denial. Then he’d laughed and declared he would do no
more photo shoots for Good Lookin’. His voice had boomed.
“Come on. Steve doesn’t hold grudges. Kiss and make up. He would enjoy
that.”
“Right.” Meg glared at her brother. She couldn’t tell him or anyone about
her first meeting with the photographer.
He’s the one. Her body had
taken fire the moment their hands had touched. She knew she’d been taken by the
Blakefield curse.
Every time he came near or when there was a casual touch her body reacted
and the voice in her head repeated those fatal words. She blushed. His knowing
green eyes showed he knew about the strong attraction. He always smiled and
made a teasing remark. Though she’d become adept at avoiding him her feelings
hadn’t changed.
Mark laughed. “Pick him up.”
“Remember how he reacted when I accused him of leaking the details of my
exclusive interview to that witch editor of Beauty Spot.
Mark chuckled. “I do. He resigned. Then Allie explained how you shoot
first and regret at leisure. He stayed. He looks on the incident as a joke.”
Mark pressed his hands on the desk and leaned forward. “You never explained why
you accused him.”
