A Song for Sophie
by Mackenzie
Crowne
BLURB:
Jobless,
practically homeless, and tired of being manless, Sophie Taylor jumps at the
chance to be Beaumont Walker’s personal assistant. Six weeks on the road with
country music’s bad boy—and, more importantly, his all-male crew—is the perfect
opportunity to change her life.
Beau
Walker doesn’t need any more distractions. Sophie, with her butt-ugly suits and
balls-to-the-wall attitude, shouldn’t be one, but she proves to be distracting
and more—even, surprisingly, a friend. So when he discovers her plan to snag a
man from his worldly wise crew, he’s determined to protect her from herself.
“Don’t you have something you’re supposed to be doing? I
assume we’re paying you. Go earn your paycheck.”
“Oh, you’re paying me.” She allowed the secret smile to curl
her lips in an actual one. “And I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing.”
“What’s that? Boring me to death?”
She dropped her oversized purse to the floor and took the
chair next to him. It was a very comfortable recliner, and large enough that
her arm didn’t reach the handle to lift the footrest. Feeling around blindly,
she sat forward, and hanging half way over the arm, grasped the control. A
quick tug and the footrest snapped up, and the back of the chair fell into the
recline position, making her squeak.
Beau shook his head.
She tugged at the hem of her skirt to make sure it didn’t
ride up, squirming until she’d settled herself. With her ankles crossed, she
plopped her hands and forearms on the cushioned arms of the chair and looked at
him.
“I’m keeping you busy.”
“Huh?”
“I’m keeping you busy. You asked what I was supposed to be
doing. That’s what I’m supposed to be doing.”
“Well, quit it. You’re pissing me off.”
“Oh, yeah,” she drawled, “like that’s hard to do.”
“Have I fired you yet today?”
“No.”
“You’re fired.”
He really was funny when he was trying to look menacing. She
laughed and held his glare. “Geez, you’re cranky.”
AUTHOR Bio
I'm a wife,
mother, and grandmother (a really young one). My husband and I were blessed
with two rambunctious little boys who we managed to raise into wonderful men
without any disfiguring mishaps. Dirt bikes and ESPN are the order around our
house, and life at the 'Testosterone Ranch' more closely resembles one of
today's wacky reality shows, than yesterday's 'Leave It To Beaver'.
I'm one of
eight kids, raised just north of Boston. I moved to Phoenix as an adult because
living in the southwest feeds my soul. My childhood was a free-for-all, chock
full of laughter, love, family and friends. I was raised on the concept that a
stranger is just one conversation away from being a friend and I'm happy to
say, that experience remains true today.
My love of
books, specifically the romance genre, has been a lifelong affair, both as a
reader and a writer. A bout with breast cancer sharpened my resolve to see my
stories shared with others. Today, I am a five-year survivor, living my dream.
My friends
call me Mac. I hope you will too.
