Blurb:
Sophie Grant made a promise to her friend. She loves the comfort of her book store and has no desire what-so-ever to go on an adventure—not when she can read about them every day in a book.
But a promise is a promise.
After sticking a pin in a map she heads off to the Colorado Rockies.
High in the Colorado Rockies, world renowned photographer Jonas Hansen is healing from a personal loss. Will Sophie’s kind nature, love of photography, and beautiful smile make Jonas whole again?
Excerpt:
Sophie
climbed the stairs and Jonas held the door open for her. He didn't leave a lot
of room to get by and she could feel his breath across her neck as their bodies
brushed. He removed the pack from her shoulder after she stepped inside and one
of the straps snapped.
"That's
a new backpack. I can't believe that just happened." At first, Sophie felt
embarrassed, and then mad that her pack didn’t even last a day before something
broke.
He
laughed and pointed to a picnic-bench-style table. "Don't worry. I can fix
it. Have a seat. Would you like a cup of coffee?"
Sophie took a deep breath and replied,
"I'd love a cup. Heavy on the cream please." She sat and zipped her
pocket before she removed her coat. Sophie didn't want any of her precious
feathers to float away.
"That's
how I drink my coffee, but I only have the powdered stuff. Is that all
right?" Jonas asked as he laid her pack on the table.
"Sure.
I'm not picky. I usually drink it out of my secondhand Mr. Coffee machine."
Sophie had a hard time keeping her eyes off of Jonas. He took off his jacket
and his large shoulders pulled at the fabric of his shirt, emphasizing the
muscles in his back and arms. Talk about being unprofessional. She needed to
stop ogling his body. To distract herself, she looked around the building. The
interior reminded Sophie of a miniature ski lodge, except hiking poles and
backpacks hung on the walls instead of skis and goggles.
"Here
you go. The coffee is hot, but not necessarily good." His hand brushed
hers as he pulled away.
"I'll
take it hot over good any day." Too late, she realized how that might've
sounded. The heat rose in her cheeks as she clarified, "I meant I like my
coffee served hot."
Sharon Kleve was born and raised in Washington
and currently lives on the Olympic Peninsula with her husband.
Sharon is a writer of paranormal and
contemporary romance. She loves romance. She loves reading romance, living
romance, and especially loves writing about romance. She gets no greater
feeling than watching her characters come alive in each other's arms. Most of
all, she loves giving her characters the happily ever after they deserve—with a few bumps and bruises along the way.
One of her favorite things to do is
picking up a new book and sinking into the story, immersing herself in the
emotions between the characters. She hopes to inspire her readers the same way
her favorite authors have inspired her.
When not writing, she can usually be
found either curled up in her recliner with her cat and a good book, or in the
kitchen baking sourdough bread or bagels.
