Bygones
by Lisa K. Nielsen

GENRE:
Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Dr. Alexandra Hadley
would prefer to leave small town life behind forever, but her father’s death
forces her hand. In his will, he has left her his medical practice and
Georgian-style mansion, and it is up to her to hire a new doctor and settle his
estate. Fresh out of medical school, Lexi is happily settled in Chicago, doing
research in tandem with her boyfriend. Brian, fifteen years older with
impressive credentials and sophisticated tastes, has no interest in visiting
her birthplace of Glenmore, Illinois. Lexi soon discovers that home has its
attractions, the first being the handsome contractor Joe Manning, her secret
crush in high school. Seeing patients is also surprisingly satisfying. When Joe
offers to remodel her father’s den, Lexi jumps at the chance to erase sad
memories and become better acquainted with her gorgeous handyman. Even as the
charms of Glenmore draw her in, a series of break-ins at her father’s house
make her fear for her safety. Is the intruder searching for something other
than valuables? And how determined is the culprit? Lexi finds her fragile
happiness at risk, including her newfound love for Joe Manning.

EXCERPT THREE:
Joe
closed his eyes for a moment. “You were wearing these tight black jeans with
high-heeled boots.” He opened his eyes. “And this slinky sleeveless top that
was all shiny and sparkly.”
Lexi
gasped and covered her mouth with her hand.
“And your
blonde hair was all long and sexy and sleek, and you had some glittery stuff in
it.”
Lexi
flattened her palm on his chest. “Oh my God. You do remember.”
“Of
course I do. I sorta had a crush on you too.”
Her
breath caught as Joe’s eyes flashed. His chest was warm and firm beneath her
palm. “No way.”
Joe
leaned in and whispered, “Way.”
Lexi was
mesmerized by his lips as they moved in on hers, feeling helpless to stop him.
Not really wanting to stop him. He kissed her softly, his lips burning hot. She
melted under them as he cupped the back of her head and stroked his tongue
inside her mouth. Lexi moaned with need, her body tingling, surprised at her
reaction. The last time she’d been instantly aroused by a kiss was ... never.
Stroking
her fingers up his chest, she wrapped her arm around his neck and kissed him
back. Their tongues tangled as they moved closer together. Her skin was hot and
tight where Joe clutched her hip. What is going on with me? This never happened
when she was with Brian. Oh, God! Brian!
Lexi tore
her lips away from Joe’s. She moved her hand back to his chest, this time to
gently push him away. “Joe, I can’t—”
“It’s
okay. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.”
Lexi met
his gaze, her heart pounding. “No, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have kissed you
back. It’s just that ... I’m seeing someone.”
