SECRET BLEND

BLURB:
When
longtime courtroom rivals Rachel Richards and Brady Craft get appointed to the
bench in Bourbon Springs, Kentucky, tempers flare as they are forced to share
chambers.
Working closely with
the obstinate-yet-sexy Brady is not an attractive idea to Rachel—although she
has to admit that Brady himself is pretty damned attractive.
Rachel doesn't have
to run for office to keep her judgeship, but Brady does. He draws a formidable
opponent, Hannah Davenport, a wealthy co-owner of Old Garnet Distillery, where
some of the finest Kentucky bourbon is crafted north of town along Old Crow
Creek and near the historic springs which gave the town its unique name.
And Hannah just
happens to be Rachel’s best friend.
As the judicial race
heats up, so does the relationship between the judges—so they decide to keep it
a secret.
But can any secret be
kept in little Bourbon Springs, Kentucky?
SECRET BLEND is the
first book in the Bourbon Springs Series, an upcoming nine-book series of
smooth, sensual, sexy, slow-burn contemporary romances set amidst the lush and
rolling Land of Bourbon and Bluegrass of central Kentucky.

Excerpt:
“I believe congratulations are in order,” Brady acknowledged
as Rachel arrived in his midst. He offered her his hand, and she shook it.
Rachel couldn’t remember the last time she’d shaken his hand
or touched him at all. He had a very strong grip, but his hands were remarkably
soft. She considered him; even with that five o’clock shadow he still looked
pretty damn good that late in the day, and his tousled dark hair added to his
allure. He had a latter-day Greek-god quality about him that Rachel had always
found a bit too attractive, just a shade too distracting and unnerving.
“Thanks,” she said, feeling herself blush. “I was
surprised.”
He nodded, and she figured he had to be thinking you weren’t
the only one, sister.
“Look,” he said, placing his drink on a nearby table, “I’ll
tell you straight out, but this shouldn’t come as an unexpected revelation.”
“Tell me what?”
“Well, that I plan to run for the seat myself.” Her mouth
dropped open. “Oh, come on, Rachel,” he said in a mocking tone. “You can’t be
that shocked.”
The pure exhilaration of the day had been destroyed by his
pronouncement. She should’ve realized he would run for the bench against her
and felt stupid for her naiveté. Taking a deep breath, she stiffened, and stood
up straighter.
“Well, that’s good to know,” she said in a flat tone. “Thank
you for telling me yourself.”
She nodded to him, turned on her heel, and left. As she
walked away, she thought she actually heard the jerk laugh at her.
But then she felt his hand gently pulling on her arm.
