If you’ve read the first two Shellwater Key Tales, you
should remember the hero in this one. Noah Johnson has the distinction of
appearing in EVERY Shellwater Key book (including the companion book to Left
Turn At Paradise (Coming Home To Paradise) and the two Christmas novellas).
Now, it’s his turn to be the “leading man”. Noah has always been in the
background, dispensing advice and wisdom. For all his willingness to help everyone, Noah
has always been a bit of an enigma. Who is he really? What caused him to wander
like a vagabond for so long? Why won’t he talk about his past? This story
finally tells his tale, and I dare you not to cry when it is finally revealed.
Noah turned out to be super sexy and the perfect foil poor,
wounded Callie. She needed someone with strength, but also gentleness. Someone
could handle all of her ghosts.
Here’s a little
excerpt where Callie and Noah meet. Callie has joined her children swimming at
their new house (her childhood home).
Since it had been so
long since Callie had gotten any exercise, it wasn’t long before she became winded.
Breathing heavily, she swam over to the shallow end. She’d just settled on the
top step when the gate opened and a man walked through.
Startled, Callie
jumped to her feet, ready to defend her children from the intruder.
He halted mid-stride,
his eyes widening in surprise. “Hello.”
“Hi.”
Through the fog of
panic, Callie finally took notice of the bucket of chlorine in his hand. She
also noticed he was gorgeous. He was probably mid-thirties. Tall, broad
shoulders, and hair that was a mixture of light brown and honey, with strands
of blond woven in. Callie couldn’t see his eyes behind his sunglasses, but
somehow knew they would be amazing. A hunch that was confirmed when he slid the
dark lenses down the bridge of his nose.
Not green, not brown,
not gold, but a mix of colors like his hair. Penetrating eyes that seemed to
look right into her soul.
“You must be the
super-secret owner of this house,” he said.
His gaze lowered, and
Callie suddenly remembered she wore only a bra and underwear. Letting out a
shriek, she sank back into the water up to her chin.
“What are you doing
here?” she demanded from her admittedly awkward position. “Who are you?”
“I help out with the
pool service,” he said. “We thought you’d be moving in tomorrow, so the owner
wanted me to swing by this morning to get everything ready.”
“We got here a little
early,” Callie said, keenly aware of how much skin he must be seeing. It wasn’t
like the water was murky. “Don’t you know how to knock?”
“Sorry, there hasn’t
been anyone living here since I’ve been cleaning the pool. I’m used to walking
right on in.” A grin pulled at his lips. “Not that I’m complaining.”
When he smiled, he
transformed from handsome to devastating. That teasing gesture pulled at
something deep within her. A long-buried part that remembered what it was like
to desire someone and be desired in return.
Get
a grip, Callie Dalton. You’ve obviously lost your mind.
