Excerpt:
Weaving
through the growing crowd at the outdoor market, Nicole glanced left and right.
Just as she was about to give up her search, she spotted the herbs and a host
of leafy green vegetables. Harris Farms...that was the vendor she was looking
for.
But the
baskets were almost empty.
Picking
up the pace, Nicole moved to the side, squeezing between the people strolling
down the center aisle and the ones perusing items at the stalls.
Almost there...
A few
steps from the table, a dark-haired woman cut in front of Nicole and set down
the numerous full bags she’d been carrying at her feet. Leaning over the table,
she blocked the rosemary basket as she flagged down the vendor. “Do you have
more basil? What’s out here is wilted.”
“Pardon
me.” Nicole tried to snag some of the rosemary, but the woman calling out to
the vendor wouldn’t budge.
Releasing
a sigh of frustration, Nicole scooted around her, battling the crowd like a
salmon swimming upstream. By the time she made it to the other side of the
woman, only one bunch of rosemary tied with a thin red band remained.
As she
reached for it, a familiar woodsy cologne and alluring body heat surrounded her
like an embrace. Distracted from the basket, she glanced left at the guy
standing there. It was him.
Stunning
coppery eyes met hers, and her thoughts short-circuited, leaving her mouth
momentarily uncensored. “You are so...” She barely swallowed the rest of her
sentence, preventing it from slipping out. Gorgeous.
“I’m
what?” He picked up the last of the rosemary. The corners of his eyes crinkled
slightly as his mouth quirked up with a quizzical smile.
Nicole
pointed to the tied bunch of herbs in his hand. “You are so lucky. That’s the
last one.”
“It
is? I guess I am.” The deep tone of his voice settled inside of Nicole, making
her tingle from the inside out. As he held her gaze, she couldn’t bring herself
to look away.
Stop
staring! What was wrong with her? She was acting like he was the first sinfully
hot guy she’d ever laid eyes on.
His
gaze moved from her face to her free hand, still hovering in the air.
She
snatched up some parsley.
Okay,
it wasn’t what she came for, but she’d looked silly just standing there
practically drooling over him…
