GENRE: Contemporary Romance
BLURB:
Miranda Shane lives a
quiet life among books and letters as a professor in a small upstate town. When
the playing-by-the-rules poet throws out convention and begins to use a
Scrabble board instead of paper to write, she sets off a chain of events that
rattles her carefully planned world.
Her awakening propels
her to take risks and seize chances she previously let slip by, including a
game-changing offer from the man she let slip away. But when the revelation of
an affair with a graduate student threatens the new life Miranda created, she
is forced to decide between love or poetry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt:
Miranda played mystery on a double word score with a blank
tile. “Bingo,” she chorused. “Fifty points.” She hopped up to do a victory
dance. As she did, her foot clipped the table, and the tile bag toppled over.
They both bent to pick them up. He smelled like Old Spice,
the way her father did before the chemo made her mom’s nose too sensitive.
“You,” Miranda started to say, to ask or to explain why she couldn’t stop
staring at him.
“You,” he said in reply.
Then he leaned in closer and pressed his lips against hers.
His eyelashes stirred against her cheeks as he closed his eyes. She leaned in
closer. And neither one moved to stop. For a very long moment, lips slightly
parted, they breathed in the same air, as they hovered in the sweet spot right
after a kiss.
Then his phone went off, startling them both.
He snapped backwards and patted down his pockets for the
source of the interruption. He stared at the number. “I think I have to take
this,” he said. “Some kind of hospital.”
