Cross Drop
by Elizabeth Hartey
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: New Adult Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Nikki
I’m
not a saint. Never claimed to be. I’ve played the game and scored my fair
share—both on and off the field. This is why I should have known better than to
fall for a hockey player. But I did. I fell fast and hard.
Now
I’m left with the painful consequences, reminded every day of how reckless I
had been by giving him my heart so easily—so willingly. Dalt broke me in the
cruelest of ways, and because of him I’ll never be able to love again.
Dalt
Nikki
changed me. She made me want to be a better man. My days playing off the field
were over because she owned every little piece of my heart…until she left,
leaving behind a gnawing ache where my heart used to be.
Now
she’s back, and it’s painfully clear she hates me, ignoring me, pretending like
I’m nobody to her. But that’s just too damn bad. I want answers. I want a
goddamn explanation.
And most of all…I want her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT FOUR:
“Hey.”
The intelligent greeting the only thing I could think of to say.
When
she looked up and hit me with those baby blues I had to remind myself to
breathe.
“Hey.”
One word. That was it and she started walking off the field toward the field
house. I stood baffled for a moment. I’d never had a problem talking to a girl
before and they usually didn’t walk away from me when I did. I ran to catch up
to her.
“Great
game. You were amazing out there.”
“Yeah,
thanks.” She just kept walking, even picked up the pace like she was trying to
get away from me.
“I’m…I’m
Dalt by the way.” Like an idiot I stuck my hand out to shake hers. She stopped
and stared at my outstretched hand but didn’t make a move because her hands
were full with her bag and some of the equipment.
“I
know who you are, hockey boy.” The words ‘hockey boy’ came out like they tasted
sour on her tongue. And she started walking away from me again. I couldn’t
believe it. When I caught up to her, she stopped and turned to me.
“What
do you want, hockey boy?” She threw me off my game so bad, I think I stuttered.
“I…um…your
name would be nice for starters.”
“For
starters?” She quirked a brow.
“Then
I thought you might like to get a beer or a burger or something at the Thirsty
Whale.” She scanned my body from head to toe and back up. Then the damnedest
thing happened.
“No
thanks. I don’t do dates. Not looking for a boyfriend. I just like to, you
know, keep my options open.” Say what, now! Had she just turned me down for a
date?

AUTHOR BIO:
As a
lover of the northeast US, Elizabeth moved
with her husband to the Poconos several years ago to open a Chiropractic
Clinic. Four children and a menagerie of animals later, she has finally found
time to fulfill her lifelong dream of writing novels. The wild ride of writing
books is one of the most difficult things she’s ever done in her life. But the
opportunity to get her stories out of her head and down on paper and send them
out into the world is also one of the most wonderful things she’s ever done. A
dreamer at heart, romance is the genre she spends most of her time writing and
reading into the wee hours of the morning. And having readers fall in love with
her characters as much as she does is almost as exciting as giving birth (just
not as painful!) When not juggling work responsibilities and writing, she
enjoys spending time with her family, hiking the beautiful hills and woods
around her home, swimming, knitting, watching old classic movies and
travelling.

ReplyDeleteThanks Victoria. If you get a chance to read it I can't wait to hear what you think!
DeleteWho is your favorite literary charachter? Congrats on the release. Bernie Wallace BWallace1980(at)hotmail(d0t)com
ReplyDeleteGosh I don't think I could pick one. There are so many great characters out there. but if you read my books you will notice I love strong but still feminine female heroines, characters like Scarlet O'Hara: all woman to the bone, but strong as hell in the survival game.
DeleteThank you Danielle. hope you get a chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteAre any of the characters in your book based on people you know in real life? Congrats on the release. Bernie Wallace BWallace1980(at)hotmail(d0t)com
