It's great to be back at Sneak Peek Sunday! Today I'm featuring BURNING LOVE, a contemporary romance with touches of humor and the paranormal, in the form of two meddling angels! Here's the blurb:
After causing three cooking fires in her apartment, Iris Jensen finds herself evicted and homeless. She lands on Riley Benson's doorstep, looking to rent a room in the beautiful old home he's restoring. It's only for six weeks until Iris leaves Portland, Oregon for her new job on a cruise ship. Firefighter Riley knows firsthand what a bad tenant she can be. But he needs money to finish the work on the house he loves. And something about Iris pulls at his heart…
Here's a six paragraph sneak peek:
Riley
looked into her beautiful blue eyes and her smiling face and did the only thing
he was capable of doing at the moment. He
kissed her.
Maybe
later, he told himself, when sanity returned, he’d think of a hundred reasons
why pulling Iris into his arms, holding her tightly against his body, and
plundering her soft, sweet mouth was not a good idea. But for now, right now, as she wound her arms
around his neck and made tiny sounds of excitement deep in her throat, it felt
exactly right.
Heaven. Having Iris in his corner made him believe
everything was possible.
He
stepped backwards towards the stairs, pulling Iris with him, intent on taking
her to upstairs to his room. He suddenly
tripped, nearly losing his balance. He
glanced behind him and saw the object he’d stumbled over. A set of luggage sat next to the stairs,
still bearing tags from the retailer.
She’d
bought new luggage for her trip. Her
plans hadn’t changed.
She’s leaving me.
