A Perfect Mistake
by Laura Brown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Falling for the forbidden has never felt so right…
When
social worker Nica Anders indulges in one night of sexual passion with
delicious Deaf man Cam Thompson, the last thing she expects is to see him the
next day while visiting her dying client. He’s Cassie’s grandson and caregiver,
the one treat she shouldn’t have tasted. Now her job is on the line, demanding
she stay away.
But
their attraction is building like a raging inferno and Nica can’t help but get
burned.
Cam
Thompson’s life is a mess. He’s losing his grandmother, the one person who’s
supported him his whole life, and her dying wish is for him to settle down with
a good woman—specifically her social worker Nica Anders. Despite Nica trying to
hold tight to her ethics, he’s falling for her hard and fast.
Yet
Cam's grandmother isn’t the only matchmaker in his family, and someone's
determined to keep him and Nica apart.
Steamy, touching, heart-warming. A much-needed #OwnVoices
romance to go perfectly with that plate of chocolate brownies and glass of
wine!

EXCERPT TWO:
I
sat in my car with my head on the steering wheel, trying to breathe deeply.
Fuck. I slept with my client’s grandson. A caregiver. A caregiver I’d had
e-mail conversations with for the past six years. Fuck. Cam. Cameron. I should
have figured it out. I knew he looked familiar.
I
could lose my job over this. I should lose my job. I’d crossed professional
lines.
I
slipped out my phone and noticed a text from Lexie. Good, exactly the person I
was going to call.
Lexie:
How did the hot date go?
I
was now living in my own personal hell, very hot. Not trusting myself to type,
I dialed Lexie’s cell. Voicemail. Crap. Lexie was a fellow social worker, so
she would understand the full extent of what I walked into. On the other hand,
Lexie wasn’t exactly the voice of reason. She’d be singing praise for my
one-night stand.
Me:
Date good. Morning after…interesting.
I
calmed my shaking nerves by reminding myself I hadn’t known who Cam was. It was
one night. As long as nothing else happened I could brush this occurrence under
a rug. Or fifty. But even with a hundred rugs I wasn’t so sure I could get out
of this mess.

GUEST POST:
My Favorite Scene in This Book…
Part
of the perk of having a book that’s been worked on for a long time is that bits
and pieces of the story leak out between friends and fellow writers. Because of
this I have a somewhat famous scene in this novel, where friends are truly
excited when they get a chance to read it!
The
famous scene is affectionately referred to as my brownie batter sex scene!
It
started with a recipe I had learned about, and tried, which is brownie covered
oreos (so good!). Simply make up a boxed brownie batter of your preference, dip
oreos in the batter (make sure to cover all sides), then place in a muffin tin
to bake for about 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. Yum!
I had
my heroine making them in a scene where the hero shows up, and since hands get
a little messy dipping the oreos one thing leads to another… Let’s just say
that my couple only managed to bake one batch!
My
heroine also has a cat named Oreo, not to be confused with the cookie being
baked.
I’ve
had to move this scene during revisions several times. The reason why my hero
shows up has altered, but I knew I’d have people upset with me if I didn’t get
that scene back in! Chocolate, baked goods, and a hot hero, what’s not love?
It’s
also a big emotional moment for my female, and even with the shifting of the
scene, that moment has held true. Baked goods are the way to her heart, as my
hero learns, and the combination is hard to resist!
