Meet Charge

Excerpt from chapter one:
 

Susan gestured to her left. “Well, I’m glad I ran into you. I want you to meet my friend, Sam.”
 

Distracted by the coffee shop conversation, her fight to keep her stomach at bay, and her attempt not to lose control over her overflowing cup, Kathryn hadn’t paid much attention to the chest she ran into. But now, she tilted her head up and looked into a pair of warm brown eyes. Oh. My. God.
 

He was tall. Very tall. 6’3”? 6’4” maybe? Kathryn couldn’t tell for sure, but he seemed to tower over her, and she was 5’9” and wearing heels. Besides being tall, he was also big. Wide. Muscular. His whole presence was larger than life. Damn. Where did you come from?
 

When he spoke, she realized it was from somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line.

He extended his hand. “Kathryn. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
 

She shifted her coffee awkwardly, readjusted her purse, and slipped her hand into his. His handshake was warm and firm, and his touch immediately erased the tension of the coffee shop conversation and replaced it with more prurient thoughts.
 

“The pleasure’s all mine.” His skin was a rich caramel color. The light blue oxford shirt he was wearing was slightly unbuttoned at the top, and Kathryn could see the beautiful color flowing down his neck and across his shoulders. She wanted to unbutton the rest of his shirt to see more. No. Forget unbuttoning. Just rip it right off.

Whew! **fans self** Someone get me a cold glass of water.
Want to get to know Charge better? I'm still looking for ARC readers!

ARC readers will receive a copy of A Deviant Beginning on Friday, August 14th. You'll also receive first access to a bonus spicy scene I had to cut because I had too many (as if it's possible to have too many sex scenes!). The ARC acceptance email will also include graphics to help with social media promotion, and I'll be raffling off ten signed copies of the paperback, so a select few of you will be able to hold Kathryn in your hands!

ARC acceptance emails go out every Tuesday and Friday, so if you apply, make sure you check your email to see if you are chosen. Oh, and whitelist hello@elisabethroseland.com to make sure my emails don't get flagged as spam.

 

As a heads up, I'll be sending newsletters more frequently from now until launch day, They'll include character spotlights, juicy snippets from the novel, musings on how I came up with Kathryn and the world she lives in, and much more. So stay tuned!

That's all for now!

Thanks for reading. Come say hi on social media, or email me at hello@elisabethroseland.com.
