Happy holidays! I am very pleased to offer you an excerpt of my newest choose your own romantic adventure, Holiday Cruise. Join Erin as she goes off on her first holiday vacation with some friends only to find love and adventure waiting behind every door. What's your passion?
Excerpt:
Erin
Chapman stared out at the crowd, and her insides tightened. "Why did I let
you guys talk me into this?" The tiny black wrap dress rested high on her
thighs, hugging every curve. Her fingers fluttered along the bottom of the
skirt, unconsciously pulling at the hem. The new four-inch black heels wobbled.
For a second, Erin remained afraid she was going to topple over. She shifted
her weight anxiously, resting her hands on the table as she waited with Jace
for Nolan and the girls to show up. She listened to the pulse of the music, a
lively upbeat version of "Jingle Bells," and it made her smile.
Her
friends meant well bringing her on this weekend cruise, but she wasn’t really
in the festive mood. They’d been good to her in her first foray into college
and the big city. Just a year ago, she’d been trying to get into schools and
obsessing about how to break things off with Dylan, her fiancé.
So get over him already and move
on with your life.
"Why
don't you sit down?" Jace patted a stool next to his at the tall silver
bar-style table. "They shouldn't be too much longer."
Erin
laughed. "Are you kidding? Somebody I know made this skirt so short, I'd
be advertising my wares before my backside even made it to the top of the stool."
"Spoilsport."
Erin
rolled her eyes and tugged at the fastenings, making sure the dress stayed
secured tightly, yelping when she saw the ties had almost slipped apart. Oh, god. That's all I need.
Jace
slapped at her hand, a cross expression on his face.
"Girl, you’d better not wreck that dress.
I have to turn that in for design class next week." He leaned in and
kissed her on the cheek. "You’re divine. Go with it." His boyish
features sported a shock of sandy brown hair and a muscular form that would have
given the football players back home in Tyson's Grove a run for their money.
"I
realize that, Jace." Erin smiled sheepishly. "I'm just not used to
wearing something this um ... short." Erin brushed her long black hair out
of her eyes and tucked it behind her ear. If she’d been thinking more clearly
and hadn’t been so freaked out by tonight's last-minute invitation, she would
have pinned it up or something. Now it was just going to be in her eyes all
night. She gave a mental sigh and watched the crowd move to the music, envious
of their fearlessness.
"You're
doing me a favor. I want to see my new project come to life. Three years of
fashion design, and I am going to get this one in the school show this
semester." He brandished his cell phone, and a bright white light strobed
outward.
"Jace!"
Erin threw up her hands and slugged him in the arm. "Quit it!" Stars
flickered behind her eyes as the flash momentarily blinded her.
"Nope."
He grinned. "You're my star attraction tonight."
"I
thought I was." Nolan stepped up behind him and wound his arms around his
lover's waist.
"Hey,
Nolan. Any sign of the girls?" Erin was thankful for the reprieve. Nolan remained
the more studious of the pair. He was the one who’d answered the phone the day
she’d applied for the room for rent. What might have been a horrific first time
away from home was eased by the makeshift family the five of them had become
over the last few months. She’d been terrified when she’d found out the dorms
were already full. To find a room in the gorgeous Victorian house nearby had
been total luck.
"Nope.
Not yet. When I saw them last, they were working their way up the check-in line
up on deck." Nolan pressed a quick kiss on Jace’s cheek and sent Erin an
appraising glance. His firm mouth curled as if he was always on the edge of
laughter, and the confident set of his shoulders never failed to communicate that
he was an alpha male.
"Nice
dress. It really is stunning on you, Erin."
Erin
blushed, smoothing her hands down the front of the sleek black dress.
"Thanks. Do you think it's too short?"
Nolan
grinned, his arm around Jace. "With legs like that? No way. Come on. Live
a little! Get out there and find someone to play with."
