KISS ME IN CHRISTMAS
Christmas, Colorado #6
Debbie Mason
Releasing February 23rd, 2016
Forever
Actress Chloe O'Connor has become America's sweetheart, but back in little Christmas, Colorado, she's still remembered as a shy, awkward schoolgirl. And there's no one she dreads (and secretly wants) to see more than her high school crush, Easton McBride. Just one look from the former star quarterback and it's like she's instantly transformed from daytime drama queen to tongue-tied teenager. She's kissed Hollywood actors and famous cover models, so she can certainly play it cool while turning up the heat, right?
After an injury ended his military career, Easton McBride built a good life in the rugged countryside of his hometown. And the last thing he needs is his quiet solitude shattered by a high-maintenance temptress who isn't anything like the sweet Chloe he misses. While he enjoys the flirtation with this new bold and beautiful woman, he can't help but wonder whether a kiss could have the power to bring back the small-town girl he's grown to love.
"Anyone special you were hoping to see today?" Chloe teased her friend and manager.
"I thought perhaps I'd look up
Fred and Ted." Estelle patted her hair, then made a face. "That nasty
old woman isn't going to be here today, is she?"
Chloe knew exactly who Estelle was
referring to. Nell McBride was the town's self-appointed matriarch and
matchmaker. Ted and Fred were her best friends, and she hadn't been pleased
when they'd taken a shine to Estelle. "I'm afraid so. She's my
stepfather's aunt."
And that reminded Chloe who else
would be here . . . Easton McBride. She stopped halfway up the stone walk and
dug in her purse for her pills. Estelle did the same, then held up a silver
flask. "I thought we might need this."
"I'm not sure we should be
taking our medication with Scotch, Estelle."
"I watered it down," the
older woman said and popped her pills in her mouth. She took a swig before
handing Chloe the flask.
She supposed it couldn't hurt. She'd
need a little liquid courage to face Easton. He despised her and didn't care
who knew it, including her. And yes, he may have had good reason to feel that
way fifteen years ago. But my goodness, it was such a long time to hold a
grudge. She wrinkled her nose as she lifted the flask to her mouth.
The front door opened. It was
Easton. And like every single time she saw his outrageously handsome face, her
heart pitter-pattered in her chest and the theme song from The Princess Bride started playing in her head. It was silly. And
she wished she could turn off the soundtrack in her mind. But it had been
playing there since she was fifteen and Easton saved her from the schoolyard
bullies. He'd been her hero from that moment on. Her white knight. She'd
thought he was her one until he
became her sister's. He'd loved Cat. They'd probably be . . . Chloe's eyes
widened . . . married now if it weren't for her.
"Little early to be drinking,
isn't it, Scarlett?"
