Falling by Tara
Mills
Brilliant leaves and crisp clean air aren't the only things
to blow into Meredith McCoy's quiet neighborhood. But when her tranquil autumn
morning is shattered by the noise and belching exhaust of a small engine, she
and her sexy new neighbor clash. It looks like the old adage, fences
make better neighbors, is actually true. Or is it?
Perhaps there's some common leaf-strewn ground to be found
for these two after all.
Excerpt:
Tearing the top of the bag apart, Meredith hugged it to her
chest then proceeded to pace around the kitchen, eating one pretzel after
another as she rounded her little butcher block in the middle of the
room. She was eating salty snacks and doing laps in her kitchen—and
slowing every time she passed the window above the sink so she could watch
Garrett as he cleaned up his mess outside.
He must think she’s insane. He’d moved in two months
ago and she hadn’t spoken one word to him—until today. Then she came off as
completely hostile. Meredith groaned. Bet he thinks she’s got a major case of
PMS. No way could she come right out and deny it!
Another loop, another brooding sigh, another pretzel
munched as she watched the muscles in his arms bulge, his firm buttocks flex,
his dark hair stir in the nippy wind. He had a great profile. The little jag in
his nose hinted at a bad boy past. There were so many questions she wanted to
ask. So many details to be pried out of him but she’d blown her opportunity by
blowing her top.
The kettle exploded with a shrill whistle and Meredith
jumped, scattering pretzels all over the floor around her. She ran to shut off
the burner, tossing what was left in the bag onto the counter on the way.
Pouring out the hot water, she started thinking perhaps she
should offer Garrett something. To drink, she clarified
impatiently. She had coffee, tea, cocoa, diet soda. It was the neighborly thing
to do. Call it an olive branch, if you will.

About the
Author:
I write stories I like to read--contemporary romances with
identifiable characters and themes. Life is hard. Love makes it
bearable. If you enjoy stories with heat and humor, I have a title for you.
I'm a pampered wife, lucky mom to three amazing sons and
one wonderful daughter-in-law, and I recently became a very young grandma. I
should probably underline the word very. Oh heck, why not the word young
too? Nah, you get the picture. I'm also the daily monitor of one
naughty dog with attitude.
