Today
on First Kiss Friday, we welcome romance author, Laura Haley-McNeil, and an
excerpt from the Romantic Suspense novel, “Risking Her Heart.”
Hollywood
producer Trent Parker has one goal – to own the film option for the breakout
novel Sunset in Maui. His problem? Actress turned producer Charisse Whitloch.
She’ll do anything to produce the film. Trent can stop her, but not without
getting close to her, a bond he can’t risk.
Charisse has
found the film project that will prove she’s her own woman – not her father’s
daughter. One person stands in her way – Trent Parker. She’s faced opposition
before, but she isn’t prepared for Trent. Her charisma has softened Hollywood’s
hardest hearts, but is she a match for Trent’s heart of stone?
Trent’s defenses
against Charisse crumble - loving her will heal the darkness in his soul and
open the door to a secret he buried long ago. When Charisse is threatened, she
and Trent face her adversaries. They piece together a plot more sinister than
any Hollywood movie, but the key to their survival lies in Trent’s past – the
key that will lead to Trent’s destruction.
First Kiss
Excerpt
“Maybe I’m not normal.” His voice rumbled through his
chest and into her head.
His fingers massaged the dip in her lower back. His
touch felt secure, comforting. He tipped her head back. His gaze skimmed hers then
his mouth descended.
His lips were so hot, they nearly burned her skin.
The taste of him.
The feel of him.
His kiss was tender. Urgency burst through. It felt so
natural, right, as if his kisses had always been part of her life.
“Charisse.” He breathed her name against her lips. He
pushed his fingers through her hair.
The heat of his touch permeated her, intoxicated her.
It wasn’t the frantic demand she felt when Dino touched her. She’d have felt
exhausted and drained if Dino had skimmed a finger across her cheek. He was
always taking.
With Trent, she felt revived, as if the power from his
body infused hers. She wanted more.
He pulled away. His hands dropped to his side. Pacing
away, he dragged his fingers through his hair.
She stared after him, confused and breathless. Her
face burned from his beard. “I don’t under –”
He held up a hand to stop her. “It’s late. We’re both
tired. We’ve seen more devastation than most people see in a lifetime. I’ll
take you home.”
