Mischief and Mayhem
by L.E. Rico
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Welcome
to Mayhem, Minnesota, home of the Knitty Kitty, The Little Slice of Heaven Pie
Shop, and O’Halloran’s Pub—owned by the four young women known as The Whiskey
Sisters.
In
the wake of her divorce, Jameson O’Halloran has gone man-vegan. And this is one
diet she’s determined to stick with. Even when her long-lost ex-brother-in-law
shows up looking like two scoops of double dutch dipped in chocolate… She’s not
giving in. Been there and still wearing the messy T-shirt.
It’s
been a decade since Scott Clarke left his family and his hometown, never to
return. But when tragedy strikes, he finds himself dragged back to the land of
gossip, judgment, and the one woman he absolutely, positively, without a doubt
can never have. His brother’s ex is off-limits. He just needs to keep repeating
that to himself until it sinks in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
“What?
Do I look that bad?” he asks.
“No,
you look fine. Fine. Yes. Nope, you’re good. Good, good…I was just…” I scramble
for some reasonable excuse to be staring at him. “I—It’s just that I couldn’t
help but notice your tattoo.”
Yes!
Brilliant save, Jameson!
“Oh,
you know, I forget it’s even there sometimes,” he says, bringing his smooth,
broad chest closer to me so I can get a better look at him. It. At it. The
tattoo…
He’s
pointing to the image on his right pectoral muscle, a vibrant orange skull
intricately decorated. It has a bright array of red and pink flowers and small
jewels adorning it.
“They
call this a sugar skull.”
Before
I can help myself, I reach out to touch the colorful picture that takes up a
large section of that side of his chest. I pull away before my fingers make
contact.
“It’s
okay,” he assures me, taking my hand and pulling it to his chest. “You can
touch it.”
I
keep my hand there for a beat longer than I should before reluctantly
extricating myself. “Well, I...uh...I think it’s beautiful.” I glance down at
my watch. “Oh! I’ve got to get the chicken in the oven.”
I
start to turn toward the other naked flesh in the room.
“So...a
toothbrush?”
“Of
course! Sorry, yes, I, uh, I think I saw a sex pack—sorry, six pack. There’s a
six pack of toothbrushes in the hall closet.”
Holy
hell! What was that? I try to appear composed, even as I feel the two hot, red
spots that are forming on my cheeks. He chivalrously turns to leave before I’m
in full-on beet mode, but not before I catch a little color on his face, too.

AUTHOR BIO:
L.E. Rico didn’t
set out to be an author. In fact she’s made a name for herself as a classical
music radio host—doing her best to make the music and the composers relevant by
putting them into a modern context. It was just a few years ago that she
discovered a passion for writing that blossomed into an entire novel. And then
another. And another. And, while she still spends plenty of time on the radio,
telling the stories of the great composers, she spends even more time composing
her own great stories.
