Don't Mess with Gracie
by Carol Kilgore
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Mystery, Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
The
mysterious Mr. Ott is trying to intimidate Gracie Hofner into being his
internal spy at The Bastion Group. She’s learned a lot about him through
several sources, even using information provided by the pair of ghosts trying
to save their granddaughter. But it isn’t enough. Mr. Ott is an expert in
hiding his true identity.
Gracie
isn’t as worried for herself as she is for her family, her friends, and her new
tenant, Milo Porter. Her feelings for him have grown, but she can’t show them.
Mr. Ott’s threats involve those she loves, and one friend has already been
killed. Besides, she’s certain there is someone else in Milo’s life.
It
takes Gracie and her growing support team to unmask Mr. Ott, but it’s what
Gracie learns along the way that shows readers the wisdom of the advice Don’t
Mess with Gracie.
This
is the conclusion to The Amazing Gracie Trilogy—a story so big it takes three
books to tell it. Gracie’s adventures begin with Jalapeno Cupcake Wench,
continue with Bluebonnet Ballerina, and conclude here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
Gracie’s
heart still pounded from the fall, but as she completed the half-turn, her eyes
locked with Milo’s. Her whole world zoomed into focus. Her heart stilled to its
normal beat. What was going on? Milo looked different. She didn’t know him
well, but she’d never noticed such an intensity. It was as if he were exploring
her soul. Only one tiny muscle on the left side of his jaw moved. He hadn’t
shaved, and she had a wild desire to run her fingers over the blond stubble to
quiet the movement, soothe him.
“Did
I hit my head?” Must have.
“No.
I caught you.”
He’d
gotten a haircut. His shaggy hair was tamer. Why did she tingle inside? Maybe
something ruptured. Milo continued to study her. She drank in his attention.
His
eyes—I feel like he’s kissing me with just his look. Her knees shook. “Do you
know one of your eyes is greener than the other?” Oh, stupid! Of course he
knows. He sees them in the mirror every day.
“I
do know that.” He smiled. “Baseball bat to the browner one when I was a kid.”
“Omigod,
Milo! She’s bleeding! Fix her.”
The
spell was broken. Gracie blinked before glancing toward the door. A woman who
looked like Milo except with long hair and makeup hurried toward them.
Milo
squeezed Gracie’s shoulders. “Cameron, this is Gracie Hofner, my landlord’s
niece. Gracie, this is my sister, Cameron.” He nodded toward the woman standing
two feet away.

Carol ~ Welcome back! It is so great to have you here again! Congrats on your new book and good luck on the book tour! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to be back, Ally! Thanks for the good wishes :)
DeleteLooking forward to chatting with your followers ♥
Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good read.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping readers like it :)
DeleteSounds like a good book, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome :)
DeleteWho is your favorite character in the book? Bernie Wallace BWallace1980(at)hotmail(d0t)com
ReplyDeleteHi, Bernie! That's a hard question for me to answer. I like Gracie, of course. She's the one who talks to me all the time. And I have a soft spot for Henry and Emma. I like them all for one reason or another, but I don't like everything about all of them.
ReplyDeleteNow that the trilogy is over, what are you working on next?
ReplyDeleteMy next book :)
DeleteThat's really all I can say about it right now, except that it's fun to write, the characters are on their toes, and if you enjoyed The Amazing Gracie Trilogy, I think you'll like my work-in-progress, too.
How did you decide on the cover?
ReplyDeleteThe fonts and intense background color follows the style of the other trilogy books. Since Gracie was in the title, I wanted a picture that suggested her without showing her face. This is the third book in the trilogy, so readers would already have their own ideas of what she looks like. I didn't want to mess with their images in any way. This one seemed perfect... plus the model is holding flip flops :)
