Excerpt
She
fought the urge like mad to scoot closer to her potential client and find out
what lay beneath those blue plaid boxers. Her good sense and professionalism
warred with her very long-ignored womanly needs.
“Are
you having sexy thoughts about me?” Ben asked, breaking into her sexy thoughts.
Because his sexy had returned.
“Huh?
Of course—not.” Her eyes were unfocused.
“You
are. You want to sit on my lap again,” he accused.
“That—wouldn’t
be wise.” But God, it would feel so good.
“Stop
it! I’m asking for help, here, and you want to climb the tower of Ben.”
“Okay,
this isn’t headed anywhere good,” Sabine said.
“Make
you a deal.” He appeared deadly serious.
“I’m
listening.”
“You
stay here tonight—” He held up a hand to stop her shocked protest. “Listen. I’m
suggesting I sleep off my beers, make a call to my buddy to have your car
cleaned, and we discuss plans for my therapy. And I’ll make eggs in the
morning. If you still look at me like that after I’ve sobered up, then, I’ll
have no choice but to kiss you again.”
She
couldn’t really see a flaw in his plan. Certainly, there were many, but right
now, she was seriously charmed by a stinky, post-vomitous guy with a great
house. “Um. I’m not sure that’s wise.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m a little distracted by your
sitting there in your underwear.”
His
eyes changed, the atmosphere between them became charged. “I knew it.”
“Go
take a shower and brush your teeth.”
Both
laughed at that. Sabine had no idea where this might lead, but either way, she
was certain it was a bad idea. Bad.

Sands began
writing on her fortieth birthday. Better than a hot young boyfriend or a red
convertible as mid-life crises go. Her first Southern women’s fiction
title, Again, Alabama, was published a mere eight years later, with
the second, Love, Alabama, and her latest, Forever, Alabama,
following closely behind. Growing up in a small town in Louisiana, Susan's
passion for reading sparked her interest in writing. She now creates stories
about the quirky characters and fascinating relationships that are uniquely
Southern.

Creek/Alpharetta suburb of Atlanta with her husband and three children for over
twenty years.
