Blurb:
Sam is perfectly fine being single. She has a job that she
loves and the company she works for is promoting her after she finishes her
M.B.A. She has great friends and a newly found love of running. Then she meets
Ben, the sexy bike builder who just moved back into town and is unlike anyone
she’s ever dated. Can she overcome her fear of getting hurt again and the fear
of riding motorcycles so she doesn’t miss out on a great guy? Is it finally
time for Sam to learn how to love again?
Excerpt:
After she showered, Samantha slid
into a stylish pair of jeans. She put on a silky black sleeveless shirt that
showed a tiny hint of cleavage in the front, especially when paired with her
favorite bra. She wasn’t sure why she’d spent an obscene amount of money on
that bra, other than the fact that it made her feel sexy. She did her make-up
so that it subtly played up her green eyes and found her spiky black heels.
They were fabulous shoes that added a few inches to her petite frame, but they
weren’t very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Oh the price we pay for beauty, she thought to herself.
Sam eyed herself critically in the
mirror. “Not bad, not bad at all,” she muttered. She decided to leave her
shoulder length blonde hair down instead of pulling it up as she usually did.
Samantha added a layer of light lip gloss and decided she was as ready as she
would ever be for a night out.
Just as she was grabbing a light
sweater, the doorbell rang and she heard Jules. “Yoohoo! Anybody home? I know
you’re in there. Answer your door! It’s time to go out and pick up some hot
guys! You might actually get laid tonight!”
Sam opened the door, shaking her
head and laughing. “Will you stop? My neighbors don’t need to hear about my sex
life!”
“You don’t even have a sex life, so
what’s it matter?” Julie replied as Sam locked the door behind them.
“So, like I said earlier, Tamara’s
brother is meeting us there tonight. It should be a fun night. He’s hot. Maybe
you can work on your flirting skills. If you have any left, that is,” Jules
said as she glanced at Sam from the driver’s seat.
“Maybe I don’t want to flirt. And
if he’s so hot, why don’t you go for him?” Sam retorted.
“Because Dave is also meeting us
here, and I actually kind of like him. He’s catching a ride with Tamara and her
brother,” said Jules. “Dave doesn’t know it yet, but I plan on taking him home
tonight and doing evil things to him. I’ve got to thank Tamara for setting us
up. By the way, how was class today?”
“My Principles in Management professor is
going to be a bear, and I don’t like the idea of spending all my Saturdays at
school for the foreseeable future, but I need to finish my degree. That way I
can get that promotion and the raise that goes along with it. I really want to
buy a house soon.”
“How long will it take you to get
it done?” Jules asked. “And more importantly, are there any hot guys there?”
“It’s an accelerated program, so
it’ll only take about a year and a half. That’s another reason I don’t need any
distractions,” Sam said as she pointed her finger at her friend. “But yes,
there’s a guy in my management class who is absolutely gorgeous.” She described
Ben’s muscular arms and broad shoulders and the way his jeans cupped his
backside just right.
