~ Synopsis ~
Imogen
Gorecki has a problem—her twin sister just got engaged, and guess
who’s the best man? That’s right, her scum-of-an-ex-boyfriend
whom she caught cheating with a bottle-blonde, with fake breasts and
a stripper’s flexibility. There’s a disturbing possibility her
eyes will never recover.
Gen
needs a date for the engagement party, but finding Mr. Perfect in a
time crunch is proving impossible. Just when she’s about to give
up, she face-plants into the crotch of the sexiest guy she’s ever
met.
Matt
Sesnick is everything Gen wants in a man —except he’s not
interested in a relationship. Can she convince Matt to take another
shot at love, or will Gen’s pregnant, hormonal older sister, her
bridezilla twin, and all of her past Mr. Wrongs get in the way of
their happily-ever-after?

~ Excerpt ~
“You
really should change that light bulb,” Matt said, glancing around
us.
“I
know.” I pushed aside my wallet to dig to the bottom of my
oversized purse. “I kind of take for granted that this is supposed
to be a safe neighborhood.”
“Until
an alien abducts you off your poorly lit porch.”
“Very
funny.” I glanced up from my purse with a smile. “But really,
it’s late. You could have been home by now.”
“Gen,
I’m glad to walk you to your door. I would have worried about you
if I hadn’t.”
I
considered him as we stood there on my porch, the light flickering
above us. I didn’t want him to leave, but I didn’t know how to
ask him to stay. Maybe I could ask him in for a drink, though I’d
already had enough.
But
I have those cupcakes…
Yeah.
I could offer him cupcakes. They weren’t his favorite, chocolate
with sprinkles, but yellow cake with milk chocolate frosting had to
be a close second, right? Hadn’t he said a cupcake will fix
everything?
“I’m
really glad we went out tonight.” His voice made me jump and I
dropped the keys. We both bent to pick them up at the same time and
bumped foreheads.
“Sorry,”
he said.
“It’s
okay, I’m fine.” I clasped my forehead and laughed. Probably, I
sounded hysterical. Like a rabid hyena. I couldn’t even look him in
the eye when I took the keys from him. “Thanks for inviting me. I
had a lot of fun tonight.”
“Me
too,” he said.
I
put the key into the lock, turning it slowly as I struggled with what
to do about him and my out of control libido. Unlocking my door
hadn’t given me enough time to figure things out, though, so I
tried to prolong sliding the patio door open. That didn’t take long
either, and I hesitated in the doorway, still unsure. I opened my
mouth to ask him in, but nothing came out. So I stepped backward
through the doorway, my gaze glued to his. After a moment, he
followed me inside, part of his face lost in shadows.
Time
stood still. My tongue darted out to lick my lips, and I lifted up
onto my toes as he lowered his head to meet me halfway. The smell of
his cologne surrounded me and my eyes drifted shut. He grasped me
loosely around my back, pulling me close, sending shivers coursing
through my body. His breath caressed my skin, his lips just a whisper
away from mine, and my lips parted…

Niecey
Roy knew she wanted to be a writer from a very young age, but her
moment of enlightenment came after watching the movie You’ve Got
Mail. It was then she realized her place in life, and happily parked
her butt on writing romance. Her dream was to create sexy vixens,
hunky, half-naked heroes, and above all, romance; lots and lots of
butterflies in the belly, breathless first kisses and
happily-ever-afters.
Most
days she can be found at home at a cluttered desk, pounding her tired
little fingers away on a keyboard with nothing but black pepper
flavored sunflower seeds and Visine as her weapons for
mass-romance-novel-creation. When her fingers need a break, you’ll
find her at a table with friends, drinking a few martinis and showing
off a new pair of (sometimes ridiculous) high heels. She’s usually
the loudest at the table and most often the one snorting with
laughter.
Niecey

Bender Blues, a contemporary romantic comedy
published by The Wild Rose Press. Her new novel to be released

Shot At Love, is the first novel in the What’s
