Coming Soon...Sneak Peak for Fallen to Far by Abbi Glines

SNEAK PEEK: (Note: this is an unedited excerpt)

“I just got off work,” I replied trying hard to keep my eyes on his and not his chest.

            “So you got a job?”

            “Yes. Yesterday.”

            “Where at?”

            I wasn’t sure how I felt about telling him too much. He wasn’t a friend.  And it was obvious I’d never consider him family. Our parents may be married but he didn’t seem to want to have anything to do with my father or me.

            “Kerrington Country Club,” I replied.

            Rush’s eyebrows shot up and he took a step closer to me then slipped a hand under my chin and tilted my face up. “You’re wearing mascara,” he said studying me.

            “Yes I am,” I pulled my chin out of his grasp. He may be letting me sleep at his house but I didn’t like him touching me. Or maybe I did like him touching me and that was the problem. I didn’t want to like him touching me.

            “It makes you look more your age,” he stepped back and did a slow appraisal of my clothing.

            “You’re the cart girl at the golf course,” he said simply looking back up at me.

            “How did you know?” I asked.

            He waved a hand at me, “The outfit. Tight little white shorts and polo shirts. It’s the uniform.”

            I was glad for the darkness. I was positive I was blushing.

            “You’re making a fucking killing aren’t you?” he asked in an amused tone.

            I’d made over five hundred dollars in tips in two days. That wasn’t a killing to him but to me it was.

So I shrugged. “You will be relieved to know that I’ll be out of here in less than a month.”

He didn’t respond right away. I should probably leave and go get my shower. I started to say something when he took a step closer to me. “I probably should be. Relieved that is. Real fucking relieved. But, I’m not. I’m not relieved, Blaire,” he paused and leaned down to whisper in my ear, “why is that?”

I wanted to reach out and grab his arms to keep from crumpling to the ground in a heap of mush. But I refrained.

“Keep your distance from me, Blaire. You don’t want too close. Last night,” he swallowed loudly. “Last night, is haunting me. Knowing you were watching. It drives me crazy. So, stay away. I’m doing my best to stay way from you.” He turned and jogged back up to the house as I stood there trying to keep from melting in a puddle onto the sand.

I started to respond when Dewayne’s eyes widened and he let out a low whistle. I followed his gaze and almost swallowed my damn tongue.

            Amanda was here. Wearing a short white clingy dress. Her long tanned legs looked even longer with the bronze high-heeled sandals she was wearing.  Her silky blond hair was pulled up on her head but several curls had fallen loose and brushed her bare neck and shoulders. Ah, hell.

            “Is she with Jason Stone? Fuck, I hope not.  Marcus is gonna be pissed.” Dewayne’s words slapped me in the face. I tore my eyes off her and looked to see whose arm it was she was holding onto. Jax Stone’s brother was smiling down at her saying something. He was making her laugh. She was gazing up at him like he was fascinating. Fuck. A red haze settled over my vision and I started to move. A hand clamped down on my arm and jerked me back.
            “What the hell are you doing?” Dewayne’s hard tone surprised me.  What was I doing?

            “I, he, she… I don’t know.”

            I didn’t look back at Dewayne. I couldn’t explain that asinine answer. Instead, I turned to the bar tender. “Make that a double and keep ‘em coming.”

While it Lasts Sneak Peek #4

Excerpt from WHILE IT LASTS by Abbi Glines
Release date set for July 31, 2012

             Leaning against the tree, I took another swig of water and wrapped the ice towel around my neck. The breeze was nicer when the scorching sun wasn’t bearing down on you.

            “What did you do to Becca Lynn?”

            Snapping my head up from its resting place against the tree I took in the first real sight of Eva I’d had since the night at the lake. Her long brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail. She was wearing a short white cotton sundress and a pair of flip flops. She was also trying real hard to look stern. She wasn’t upset with me. She was just being nosey. I liked that.

            “Good morning to you too Eva,” I replied unable to keep from smiling.

            She tilted her head to one side and continued to force that frown. I’d seen the real thing. This was not the real “angry Eva” face. “Becca Lynn hasn’t come around in two days. That isn’t normal. Especially since she was so hot after you. So, what did you do to her?”

           “I believe it’s what I didn’t do to her.” I took a slow swig of my water but I didn’t take my eyes off her as she let me words sink in.

           Shifting her feet she put her hands on her hips. “What does that mean?”

           “It means exactly what it sounds like. I didn’t do her. I’m guessing that’s the problem.”
           Eva’s fake scowl disappeared and she was frowning. “But I saw you both naked at the…” she trailed off and her eyes grew wider. Two pink splotches covered her cheeks. Eva Brooks had come back to the lake the other night. And she’d seen me naked. Yeah, I was going to have to spend a lot of fucking time in the shower now. The image of her sneaking around to see me naked was just hot.

          “Did Eva Brooks come back to the lake and get her eyes full?” I teased.

While It Lasts Sneak Peek #3

 “You didn’t tell me you had company, Eva,” Becca Lynn cooed twirling one of her long blonde locks around her finger while batting her eyelashes in Cage’s direction. Good lord she was ridiculous.

          “I don’t have company Becca,” I snapped hoping to get her attention but it didn’t work. “This is Daddy’s summer help. He’s working with our cows. Because he got a DUI and he is serving time.” Maybe that would wake her up out of this worshipful gaze she had on him. But it didn’t.

          “Oh, so you’ll be here all summer?” she asked still smiling up at Cage like he was a freaking rock star.

          “Looks that way,” he replied in an amused tone. Great even the man whore beside me thought she was making a fool of herself.

          “Well, when you’re not working and get bored I could keep you company—“

          “Becca Lynn,” I raised my voice to stop her from offering to come warm his damn bed in the barn.

          Finally, her eyes shifted off Cage to meet my gaze. The twinkle in her eye told me she knew exactly how it sounded and she didn’t care not one bit.

         “Thank you. I’m sure that I’ll be needing someone to show me what to do for entertainment when the work-day's through. I can’t think of anyone else I’d rather have take me around and enlighten me to the things to do out here in the country.” The sexy drawl thing he had going on just pissed me off. It also gave me chill bumps and made my heart race. 

         Becca Lynn’s eyes swung back over to eat Cage alive. “That sounds like a really good plan,” she closed the distance between them and held out her perfectly manicured hand. Hot pink nails that I was sure matched her toenails, wiggled in his direction invitingly. Becca was as high maintenance as they came around here. “I’m Becca Lynn Blevins.”

         Cage closed the small amount of space Becca had left between them and slipped his hand into hers. Did Becca just shiver? “Cage York and it’s a pleasure, Becca.”

        “Oh,” she breathed. Her head tilted back as she drank him in. I swear, if he kissed her in my kitchen I was going to throw my cobbler batter at him.

         “I got to get back to work. I’ll be looking for you to come entertain me real soon, Becca Lynn.” Cage said in a low whisper then stepped around her and headed out the door without a backward glance.
