Hi there! Thank
you so very much, Iyana, for having me here at your place today. I’m extra
excited about this newest release. The fact that it’s an Evernight Free Read is
very special because I hope to get to share it with many people, including you
and your followers. Touch of Sin is the fourth book in the Sin Pointe Novel
series based on the rock stars of Sin Pointe. However this book takes us inside
the life of their opening act, Lonerby, who have gotten themselves into a bit
of trouble. I love all these guys and I hope you will too! Happy Reading
everyone! Love stories rock, Carlene xoxoxo
Touch of Sin (A Sin
Pointe Novel Free Read) Blurb:
Lonerby guitarist
Luke Willoughby and his band are under tight scrutiny since a press conference
was ruined by a band member’s sudden vomiting attack. They’ve been suspended
from the Sin Pointe tour and Luke fears they’ve blown it for good. The last
thing he expects is the cute management spy sent to observe him.
No-nonsense Sarrie
Walker knows exactly what she’s there to do, and makes no secret of it. Luke is
impressed—and powerfully attracted to Sarrie’s strong and sexy innocence. When
they end up stuck together in close quarters, Sarrie becomes dangerously
irresistible—and very much off-limits. Does she hold Luke’s second chance? And
if he gives in to her powerful allure, what happens to his heart?
Excerpt:
Sarrie stepped
carefully and mostly on tip toes out of the tiny, grime grouted shower. She’d
had to waste one of their two usable towels for a floor mat and made sure to
land on it.
The good news was
that she no longer teetered on what she’d tell Mr. Keller when they made it to
D.C.
Noah was sick and
while he’d managed himself at these smaller gigs, he didn’t belong on a
massive, nationwide Sin Pointe tour. She tried to picture him night after night
and the binge drinking sessions. It hurt her heart to think of it but worse
than that was picturing the landslide of sleepless nights Luke would have to
suffer through caring for him. Sure, they might all hate her as a consequence,
but that’s why it was called tough love. The truth hurt at first. And sometimes
for a very long time after. But at least the person would be alive.
She grabbed for the towel she’d
left on the toilet seat and found a loosely folded bunch of clothes. Not hers
because they were too big and, she pulled the shirt to her nose, they smelled
like Luke. “Mmmm.”
Her eyes popped open so wide she
felt her lashes touch her brow bone. Yes, she’d just sighed at a man’s smell.
It was a first. Maybe it was because her decision no longer hung over her head,
but she could get lost in the fact she held the shirt he’d played in. She
inhaled and the smell brought back visions of him serving as master of his
guitar and the beads of sweat that had dotted his forehead, the one that hung
from his nose, and the slick mass that had wet his chest hairs showing through
the top of his V neck shirt. He’d been so lost in the music that he hadn’t seen
her staring or cared about the sweat. She’d noticed more than she realized and
had to stop and breathe through what that meant.
“So that’s it, Sarrie? You’re
going there now?” she whispered to herself. “Unbelievable.”
Why shouldn’t she?
Because she’d never had these
feelings for a man before? Because the two days she’d known Luke were clearly
not long enough and she was here to study him, not fall into a foolish
one-sided infatuation? Or was it that his life situation was too close a
reminder of the one she’d finally saved herself and her father from? The
heaviness of all those truths bowed her shoulders inward and down.
He’s gonna be dealing with
Noah’s addiction for a long time to come, especially if he can’t stand to see
his baby brother suffer. That’s what enablers did. She knew because she’d
watched her mom tiptoe around her dad until the day Mom just didn’t come home.
Plopping down on the toilet
seat, she bundled Luke’s jeans together with his shirt and hugged them. A sock
fell from the pile. She found its match and could have cried at his
selflessness. He was a good guy and he had a ton of hurt coming his way. For a
second, she forgot where she was and nearly let her head fall back against the
dingy bathroom wall.
Cold air leaking through the
thin motel walls made her shiver. So did the thought of wearing Luke’s clothes.
But after she made sure to dry off with the one towel, she pulled on her old
panties and bra and then his jeans, which nearly fell right back down, and then
slipped his V neck shirt over her head. The baggy look reminded her of the
girls from TLC, but not one single day in her life had she ever felt crazy,
sexy or cool. Well, maybe she could identify with the crazy part. Completely
foreign to her was the thought of what Luke would think. And then she had an
altogether more shocking thought. If his clothes were in here, what was he
wearing?
Hot gusts of air puffed out from
her lungs until she managed to calm them down. But all she could really think about
were bare, strong shoulders and more than just the tiny glimpses she’d gotten
of his chest in the V cut shirt she currently wore. She needed a drink of
water. Badly. She wiggled her toes in his giant socks.
