Juliette
Fletcher’s life has been full of surprises ever since she began dating NFL
superstar Evan “Big Mac” McGuire. He’s everything she could ever have wished
for – strong and tender, and wrapped up in an exquisite package. She has
experienced more happiness than she ever dreamed of, but she’s also survived
enough pain and anguish to last a lifetime.
It’s Evan’s rookie
season as starting quarterback with the NJ Sentinels, and it looks like he just
might take the team all the way to the playoffs for the first time in five
seasons. And now Juliette is planning her dream wedding in the dazzle of the
paparazzi’s camera flashes.
But Juliette is about
to learn how quickly a dream can turn into a nightmare. Dark secrets begin to
emerge – the kind that wreck careers and break hearts. Is silence a betrayal,
even when the truth could cause anguish to the ones you love? And when the past
threatens to cast its shadow over the present, how far is too far to make
certain it stays buried?
Running Away With You is the third book in the Running
Series
Excerpt:
Chapter
Two ~ Learning the Ropes
...
I hear the water running in the bathroom while Evan showers. AC/DC
is blaring, and when I hear Evan singing along to “You Shook Me All Night
Long”, I can’t help but smile. We have a routine when he’s got an away game,
and “You Shook Me All Night Long” pretty well sums it up. The first few weeks
of the season, I felt guilty for keeping him up all night so close to a game,
but then I realized that the night before the game, he’s safely tucked away in
his hotel room by eight o’clock. That more than makes up for whatever sleep he
may have missed the night before.
He doesn’t need to bring much with him when he travels. He’ll wear
a suit jacket on the plane, and then again on the way home, so there’s no need
to pack that. He needs workout clothes, something to wear to dinner, and lots
of clean socks and underwear. God, he has great underwear. Some say Armani on
the waist. Others say Andrew Christian in gold. They are all tight-fitting
boxer briefs and all make him look sexy as hell. Not that he needs any help in
that department.
“Why are you staring at my underwear?” he laughs. I am so caught
up in my thoughts, I never heard him turn off the music. Now, he’s standing in
front of me wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. Water
droplets cling to his skin, and all I can think about is licking them off one
by one.
My God, he’s delicious.
