The Voices of Angels by Peggy Jaeger ~ Release Tour

THE VOICES OF ANGELS

book 4 of The MacQuire Women series

Author: Peggy Jaeger
Official genre of book: Contemporary romance







Love is the last thing Carly Lennox is looking for when she sets out on her new book tour. The independent, widowed author is content with a life spent writing and in raising her daughter. When newscaster Mike Woodard suggests they work on a television magazine profile based on her book, Carly’s thrilled, but guarded. His obvious desire to turn their relationship into something other than just a working one is more than she bargained for.


Mike Woodard is ambitious, and not only in his chosen profession. He wants Carly, maybe more than he’s ever wanted anything or anyone else. As he tells her, he’s a patient man. But the more they’re together, Mike realizes it isn’t simply desire beating within him. Carly Lennox is the missing piece in his life. Getting her to accept it-and him-may just be the toughest assignment he’s ever taken on.



“I…” Carly began, then stopped. “Oh, hell. I’m not good with words in situations like this.”


His laugh came quick, charmed by her nerves. “Pretty pathetic declaration for a writer.”


Carly stuck out her bottom lip in a very alluring pout. He was tempted to stop and take her mouth with his again.


“Don’t mock me. When it’s on paper I can get it right. Real life has no re-writes, no editing.”


“Granted.” The sunlight played with the alternating auburn and fire-red highlights in her hair as they began to walk again. He was convinced no color had ever been so alive.


Carly squared her shoulders. “I don’t want you to get the wrong impression about me. Concerning men.”


When he didn’t comment, she continued. “It’s only, well…I haven’t been involved with anyone since my husband died. I’ve been busy with my daughter and my writing. I haven’t met anyone I’ve been interested in, I guess.”


“Until now.”


Carly turned to look at him. Irritation crossed in her narrowed eyes. “You’re pretty sure of yourself.”


“No,” he replied. “I’m more sure of you, though.”


“Excuse me?”


Mike laughed again. He stopped and cupped her cheeks. “You’re even more beautiful when you’re angry. Your left eyebrow arches ever so slightly and your eyes turn the most incredible forest green.” He kissed her and felt her pulse trip again under his fingers. “I would bet,” he said into her hair, breathing in the fresh fragrance of the shampoo she’d used, “no man since your husband has made your heart beat this fast, or your breath come in such spurts, as when I do this.” He lowered his head to kiss her again.


When she arched her back, Mike’s hands did a slow slide downward, coming to rest on the dip under her waist.


“Tell me I’m wrong,” he commanded, his voice charged with challenge.


“You are.”


“You’re a liar, Carly Lennox.” Before she could refute him, he continued, “You’re breathing is way too fast, and your eyes are unfocused. But for now I’m willing to back off. I know we’ll be together. I’m certain of it.”


“Why you arrogant, egotistical—I said you were nice. Ha!” She turned on her heel and started to walk away. His vise-like grip on her arm stopped her short. Mike spun her around, drew her to his chest, and his mouth crushed down to hers in a kiss neither patient, nor tender. It bespoke all the raw desire and hunger churning inside him.
