You can’t go back, and you can’t stand still…
Lucy Doolan is a
marketing genius. She can sell rain to a frog and snow to a polar bear. Newly
single and unemployed, she’s lured back to her hometown of Harmony, North
Carolina to help out her pregnant evil stepsister…only to find former crush
heartthrob Brogan Reese has returned too, to open a new business in town. To
add insult to injury, he’s still hot.
If the thunder don’t get you, then the lightning will…
Brogan never noticed
Lucy much when they were young, but seventeen people have recommended her to
help him. She’s got his attention now. With her sweet personality, brilliant
imagination, and penchant for doing the completely unpredictable, Brogan is
finding a whole lot of excuses to spend his days—and nights—with Lucy.
Michele Summers writes about small-town life with a Southern
flair and has her own interior design business in Raleigh, North Carolina, and
Miami, Florida. Both professions feed her creative appetite and provide a daily
dose of humor.
***
Today we are pleased to sit down with Lucy Doolan and Brogan
Reese, the hero and heroine in Michele Summer’s latest, Not So New In Town (July
2015). Lucy and Brogan are going to answer a question about their relationship
and tell us a bit more about themselves!
What gift that your
partner gave you came as the biggest surprise?
Lucy: My
engagement ring! Didn’t see that one coming. At. All. But the moment he
proposed, I knew all was right with the world.
Brogan: Her
heart. And I almost blew it by not realizing how precious a gift it was. The
idea of Lucy loving me…was a total surprise and one I’ll cherish forever.
An Excerpt
“Let’s dance”—Brogan shoved his chair back, grabbing Lucy’s
hand—“and give these two some alone time.”
“I don’t want to dance.”
“Sure you do. They’re playing Trace Adkins.”
Wanda helped by pushing Lucy’s chair from the table with her foot.
Brogan tugged Lucy around more dining tables to the middle of the
sawdust-covered dance floor, where couples swayed to the band’s rendition of
“Every Light in the House.” Slipping his right hand around the small of her
back, he pressed her plush curves into his chest. Her smooth hair tickled his
chin, and the smell of citrus filled his head. Lucy stood stiff as a telephone
pole as he tried maneuvering to the slow beat of the music.
“You gonna dance like a robot all night, or just with me?” He
cocked his head and peered into her face, where doubt disappeared and desire
took over as her gaze softened. Brogan liked that look as he slightly bent his
knees, pulling her closer. “I won’t bite unless you want me to,” he whispered
next to her ear.
“Good to know.” She heaved a shaky sigh. “Well, I guess you’re
better than Clancy Perry over there looking like he wants to cut in.” Looping
her left arm around his neck, she rocked her hips to the beat. Brogan swallowed
a groan. Right now nothing else mattered. All he cared about was luscious Lucy
filling his arms.
“Let’s look like we mean it so Clancy or his brother, Clinton,
won’t get any ideas.” He bent as if to kiss her.
“You don’t mind if I start singing, do you?” she said, smiling as
she moved away from his lips.
Brogan’s head jerked back. “Oh, hell no. My ears haven’t recovered
from this morning.”
“I know all the words.” Tossing him a saucy look, she started to
hum…loudly.
“Shut up and dance.” Brogan tucked her back under his chin and
shook with laughter.
