Book Description:
Rafe Iuliano has other plans. The wealthy Grants tried to bribe him out of Emma's life years ago, but he's determined to prove once and for all that a master carpenter is worthy of Emma and the house.
Their ridiculous and steamy battle for the house reignites the love and passion that bloomed between them years ago. But when Rafe discovers she's kept their daughter a secret for two years, can he overcome anger and pride to claim his family and the love of his life, or will the deception drive a final wedge between them?
Book Excerpt:
“It’s good to see you too, Emma.” Rafe smiled. A flash of dimples tugged on her memory and heart. “Is falling into men’s flower beds a habit or should I feel special?”
“As it happens, I don’t see this as your flower bed, but rather my own.” Covered in dirt, Emma feasted her eyes on Rafe. She didn’t try to stand. Instead she pushed her hands further into the sticky mulch, needing something to hold on to, momentarily thankful to be on solid ground. She licked her lips. He looked good.
“Finally here to claim what’s yours?”
“Are you going to help me up or not?”
Rafe took a deep breath, and reached out a hand. When they touched, the same powerful jolt of electricity that used to exist between them ran up her arm and straight to her heart. He pulled harder than necessary and Emma slammed into his chest. She took a quick step back, needing space, and almost landed in the garden again. Rafe held on and steadied her.
“Whoa, easy. I don’t think the shrubs can take anymore.”
Her stomach twitched at the sound of his voice, so close it resonated in her ear and vibrated down her spine. His scent, masculine and fresh from-a-shower-clean, mesmerized her. He surrounded her even though he only stood in front of her, balancing her.
“Let go of me,” she whispered.
He complied by raising his hands, palms out, in the air as if they’d been burned. His heat lingered on her skin, and she ached with the loss of his touch. Emma went to work brushing the gritty mulch from her shaking hands.
“You always were a bit clumsy, huh, Ems?”
She snapped her head up, and her eyes landed on his playful grin.

Thank you for hosting
ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity to host the virtual book blast event.
DeleteI can vouch for this being a FAB read! You'll fall in love with these characters!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jenna! So happy you enjoyed Emma and Rafe's story. I had fun time writing it!
DeleteHi Jenna! Thank you for stopping by and visiting with RoseAnn. I downloaded the book onto my Kindle! :)
DeleteHello! Thank you for featuring Return to Audubon Springs today. I love the Jersey Strong message on your website. Audubon Springs is based on my favorite Jersey shore town. I'm wondering if anyone can guess which one?
ReplyDeleteHi RoseAnn! Thank you for the opportunity to host your virtual book blast event. I downloaded the book onto my Kindle, I'll have to hurry up and read it so I can figure out which Jersey shore town it is based on. Jersey has a lot of wonderful shore towns, but as a born and bred Brigantine island girl, it has a huge piece of my heart. :)
DeleteHi Kathleen! I'm actually a Jersey Transplant. I'm from upstate NY, but now I can't imagine ever living far from the shore. There's also a storm in the book. In my mind, it's Irene, but my editor didn't want me to name the storm in the book. I'm sure your TBR pile is sky high. I hope you enjoy Return to Audubon Springs when you get the chance!
DeleteI know what you mean about ever living far from the shore. I now live in the heart of the Jersey Pinelands with woods, deer and turkey as our neighbors, but my heart will always belong at the shore, I have too much sand and surf in me to have it any other way. lol
DeleteThe Pinelands! Hopefully you haven't had any encounters with The Jersey Devil. My hubs loves to tell people stories of his encounters...all made up, of course! :)
DeleteI grew up hearing stories about the Jersey Devil. lol
