About the book:
Meadows Shore is the
childhood home of the five Clayton sisters and the six Harrington brothers, the
family seat where these irresistible characters gather regularly…or whenever
they need the comfort of Portuguese home cooking and the love and wisdom of elder
women.
After Sophie Clayton
catches her husband in bed with a young intern, she creates a new life for
herself as the executive director of a failing domestic violence agency. It’s
the perfect job for a woman born to fix everything. A friend’s broken heart, a
tattered agency, a flat tire—she’ll roll up her sleeves and make it as good as
new. Sophie rarely encounters anything she can’t fix…until she meets the
devastatingly handsome and insufferably arrogant, Max Parker. One of Boston’s
most eligible bachelors, he’s never without a stunning young woman on his arm
and in his bed.
When Sophie’s forced to
deal with Max, sparks fly, and somewhere in the crossfire of verbal daggers and
clever barbs, she discovers his darkest secret.
EXCERPTHis voice took on a husky, seductive quality. “The women I date aren’t interested in my body, Sophie. What interests them is how I pleasure their bodies.”She stared deep into his icy blue eyes and snickered.Max never missed even the smallest of details. They were often the difference between success and getting your hat handed to you. Tonight, he noticed Sophie’s eyes betray her, even as she mocked him. Her pupils were dilated, the rich, whiskey-colored irises nearly overtaken by black. I have her attention.Embolden by her body’s reaction, he took a step closer. He was so close that if she’d been breathing, her breath would’ve warmed his skin. “I can bring much more to your bed than my father does. So…much…more…” He drew out the words, emphasizing each in a voice that oozed sex. “And though I’m not an easy man to impress, I’m sure you’d have no trouble persuading me to finance your agency. None at all,” he drawled.Neither of them spoke for a long moment, maybe two. The air was charged. The silence dangled between them like a ripe peach, fragrant and swollen, tempting the weakest among them to reach for it first.“What do you think?” he asked softly, ending the silence.While waiting for her response, a calculated kind of wait, he resisted the urge to lift his hand and run his fingers through the strands of hair that’d come loose, softly framing her face.“I think you really are an ass.”With that, she turned and walked away. Leaving him to gape at her magnificent back.
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Eva Charles is the author of the multi-titled Meadows Shore
Series that chronicles the lives and loves of the Clayton-Harrington family.
She invites you to visit their beloved Meadows Shore nestled in the charming
seaside town of Fair Harbor, where you’ll enjoy love, laughter, loyalty, and an
abundance of mouth-watering food, Portuguese style.
After being a confirmed
city-girl for more than thirty-five years, Eva moved to beautiful western
Massachusetts in 2014. There, she found herself living in the woods with no
job, no friends (unless you count the turkeys, deer, and coyotes roaming the
backyard), and no children underfoot, wondering what on earth she’d been
thinking. But as it turned out, it was the perfect setting to take all those
yarns spinning in her head and weave them into a romantic tale.
When she’s not writing,
trying to squeeze information out of her tight-lipped sons, or playing with the
two cutest dogs you’ve ever seen, Eva’s creating chapters in her own love
story.
