Dance With Destiny
by Kathleen Ann Gallagher
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Career-minded
journalist, Savannah Mason aspires to take the anchor seat at the New York City
news station where she works. But her father has other plans. He insists his
daughter study medicine so she can take over his surgical practice. Why can’t
he understand being a newscaster is all she’s ever wanted?
When
cardiac surgeon Dr. Rob Sinclair lands on the New York Times Bestsellers List,
his agent tells him he needs a promo spot for his upcoming book release.
Suddenly, what little time he had for his two children dwindles even more. He
swears he can do it all, promising himself he’ll find a way to give his kids
the attention they need.
When
fate selects Savannah to conduct the prime-time interview with the renowned
surgeon, sparks fly. Drawn to the hot doctor, she embarks on a path toward love
with a man who seems all wrong for her. And though she questions every step
they take, their relationship leads her to blazing passion, honesty, and
forgiveness.
However,
before she can fully accept his love, she must face the unresolved issues in
her life as well as confess a secret from her past that she fears he’ll never
accept. Will Savannah and Rob’s connection be strong enough to heal the scars
of their past and grant them another chance at love?

EXCERPT TWO:
“Sit
down and make yourself comfortable. Do you prefer regular or decaf or how about
organic green tea?”
“Tea
sounds good to me. Green tea carries health benefits, too.”
“I
won’t be long.” She chuckled at his cute medical reference. A fresh brewed tea
took a few minutes in the new system she’d purchased at a specialty shop. A bag
of oatmeal cookies made with all-natural ingredients came in handy, and she
reached for them along with the cups. When the tea was done, she put a few
cookies on the tray and carried it to the living room. The last thing she’d
expected was to play hostess, but she found it fun.
“Here
you go.” She placed it on the coffee table.
Rob
patted the spot next to him. “It’s time to relax. You’ve had a tiring day.” He
took a few sips of tea and set the mug on a coaster.
His
doting words reminded her of the typical thing a doctor would say, but his
caring nature appealed to her. With Rob sitting so close, her hands shook. They
exchanged playful glances. Rob stood and went to the sliding glass doors. “You
have a great view from here.”
She
got up and moved toward him. Her chest tightened with each step. As she
approached him and admired his tall stature, it dawned on her he could be a
candidate for People’s sexiest man alive. Control yourself.
“I’m
happy here,” she admitted. “I love it when the morning light shines on the
water and it mimics crystal.”
Rob
moved closer to her. His gaze, fixed on her, sent shivers from head to toe.
Afraid of what might happen next, she turned away. An electric energy surged
between them. Rob reached for her and pulled her firmly up against his chest.
“You’re
an amazing woman, Savannah.”
His
lips met hers, and he cradled her head in his hands as if she was a precious
jewel. It all happened so quickly, she didn’t have time to react. The warmth of
his touch sent waves of heat down to her stomach and in between her legs as the
world stood still. When Rob’s hands moved across her back, it took her to a
level of arousal she never expected. She found herself spellbound by the feel
of his rock-hard body. All of the emotions she’d kept inside emerged when Rob
held her tight. When they finally parted, she stood frozen in shock with her
heart pounding and her ears ringing.
His
expression made him appear as if he’d broken the law, with his mouth open and
eyes practically popping out of his head. He quickly took a step aside. “I
don’t know what to say. I-I’m, so sorry for my rude behavior.”
“You
weren’t rude. I didn’t stop you.”
“I
don’t know what got into me. You’re an amazing woman, and I find you terribly
attractive.” He
stared
deep into her eyes.
“Thank
you.” She turned away, still uneasy, but flattered.
“I’d
like to take you on a real date. Would that be possible? Is it in contradiction
of ethics to date someone you’re working with?”
“There’s
no rule for dating a guest on the show. I make my own rules.” Surprised by her
words, she held her arms close to her body and rubbed them.
“That’s
what I like about you. You’re not afraid of taking a risk. I could tell from
the moment I met you, you were a strong, independent woman.”
Unanswered
questions twirled around in her head. Making a date with a doctor and one with
a family, no less, is crazy. She was sure she should resist, but her body told
her something completely different.
