KISS ME AT LAST
(A Wescott Springs Novella)
by Holly
Cortelyou
What's better than wine, chocolate and a little renovation magic? A
sweet and sexy matchup between a handsome, hammer-swinging contractor, Sean
McMallory, and a flirty and stubborn champagne bar owner, Melinda York, who's
in a remodel pickle! Kiss Me at Last brings you back to the charming mountain
hamlet of Wescott Springs, Colorado in a heartwarming contemporary, small town
romance that's sweet with a little kiss of heat!
One tempting kiss will rock his world…
Melinda York has every last penny tied up in her business remodel so
the last thing she needs is a complication—like surly Sean McMallory. But when
"McGrumpy" blows through her front door with a hammer and toolbox,
she knows she’s doomed…her replacement contractor is none other than the jerk
who humiliated her at the town council meeting. With Melinda buried in sawdust
and the exasperating, but ever-so-sexy, Sean constantly underfoot, how is she
supposed to maintain her professional poise when she can’t stop daydreaming
about his broad shoulders and his unexpectedly kind heart?
Sean McMallory likes his life simple and straightforward, and his
plate is full with a booming construction business and family responsibilities.
When a cousin begs a favor, he’s plunged neck-deep into the whirlwind that is
elegant, jet-setter Melinda York and her wine bar renovation. There’s just no
trusting the flirty Melinda even if he can’t forget her kissable lips and
surprisingly, vulnerable eyes. So he’ll stick with his beer and country roads,
and she can keep her bottles of bubbly and fancy truffles!
Can one kiss build a bridge to love and heal their wounded hearts?

EXCERPT
TWO:
With a smile lurking at the corners of his mouth, Sean had been
waiting for an eruption for the last ten minutes.
It was day three of construction, and Melinda had looked far from
chipper as she'd schlepped into the wine bar at eight in a slouchy gray
sweater, faded jeans, and nondescript running shoes. Her eyes were bleary, and
she cradled her coffee concoction like it was the crown jewel in the queen's
tiara. She'd winced every time his hammer drove home a nail.
Sean grinned. Hangover, he supposed, and he pounded a few extra nails
for good measure as she scuttled into her office. That ought to fix her little
red wagon, Miss High and Mighty and her sexy British accent. Not that he'd
noticed.
He glanced toward her office door, and there was Melinda, staring at
him with a stony gaze through half-slitted eyes.
"Good morning, Ms. York," Sean said in his perkiest voice.
"Sun's shining, and it's beautiful out." He fiddled with the chuck on
the drill and idly revved it a few times for some bonus noise.
"Is there anything quiet you can do for a while?" Melinda
said, her tone was pained.
"Not feeling well?"
"I'm fine. I have some phone calls to make to wine distributors
and a little peace and quiet would be divine."
"Go back to your coffee shop for those calls. Unless you want me
to take a break already? That will slow me down."
Melinda glared. "I'm trying to get some work done, too."
"Well, ma'am. This is a construction zone, so there's going to be
noise. We're not slapping on some paint and hanging a few light fixtures. We're
adding beams, ripping out floors. What exactly were you expecting? Should I
bring a bowl of potpourri or something?"
"That might help." Her tone was drenched in syrup. "Or
do you have a silencer for that drill?"

ReplyDeleteHello and thank you so much for hosting me and Kiss Me at Last!
ReplyDeleteI hope ya’ll enjoy Sean and Melinda’s journey to Happy Ever After. :-)
Tantalizing Tidbit: Like my heroine, Melinda, I'm a total champagne junkie! I love me some bubbles! But unlike my heroine, I'm addicted to home improvement and renovations. My hubby is my partner in crime.

Another Tempting Tidbit…I love the mountains, forests and lakes of Colorado (and all of the West, really). When I created Wescott Springs, I decided to whip up the exact kind of town I wished to live in…a swanky resort, a tight knit community, cool shopping, wine bars and lots and lots of hiking trails with cozy spots for trysting couples!
