Excerpt
“Is it okay if I take this seat?” a man asks. The masculine voice is deep, seductive. Friendly. That’s what resonates deep inside me, and I don’t have to think twice about my answer. I also don’t have to turn my head to know who’s asking. “Sure.” “I’m Drew,” he says as he gets comfortable beside me. I take a moment to breathe in his clean, spicy scent before I look at him. “Alejandra.” “It’s nice to meet you, Alejandra.” “You, too.” Up close, he’s even better-looking. Eyes a shade of blue-green I’ve never seen before, neat hair longer on top than the sides, broad shoulders that fill out his tailored suit coat. I’d venture his outfit cost more than my monthly mortgage. He notices my glass of water and waves a hand at the bartender. A thick black watch peeks out from his sleeve. His hand is big, capable-looking. “Can I buy you a drink?” With the way my pulse is racing, he absolutely can. I may need several to calm my nerves. “I think I saw a blood orange margarita on the menu.” “Good choice.” “Hey, Drew,” the bartender says. “What can I get you?” “Two blood orange margaritas, please. On the rocks.” “You got it.” He drops a cocktail napkin in front of Drew and one in front of me. “You seem to know a lot of people,” I say. “A few. What about you?” “I’m here with my sister and two friends. They’re on the dance floor.” “It’s lucky I got to you before someone else, then.” I can't get my head down. It’s a good thing my light brown skin doesn’t give away my blush easily. Are there other people here? All of a sudden it doesn’t feel like it. “Looks like you took one for the team,” he says next. “What?” His knee taps mine as he swivels and nods to my boot. Oh, that. I grin. What a nice way to put it. Not only is Drew the hottest-looking man in this bar, but he’s decided I’m caring rather than klutzy, something no stranger has done in the five weeks I’ve been injured. “Team captain right here,” I say. “Your T-shirts have a ‘W’ on them, don’t they?” It takes me a second to follow his train of thought. Wonder Woman. “Laying it on a little thick, aren’t you?” I tease. He smiles and I’m hit not only with flirty intensity, but sincerity, too. He might be coming on strong, but his compliment is genuine. “Is it working?”About Robin Robin Bielman is the USA Today bestselling author of over fifteen novels. When not attached to her laptop, she loves to read, go to the beach, frequent coffee shops (and by frequent she means daily but she’s trying to break the habit), and spend time with her high school sweetheart husband and two sons. Her fondness for swoon-worthy heroes who flirt and stumble upon the girl they can’t live without jumpstarts most of her story ideas. She writes with a steady stream of caffeine nearby (see above) and the best dog on the planet, Harry, by her side. She also dreams of traveling to faraway places and loves to connect with readers.
