Blurb:
Life comes with its share of losses. In these four
novelettes of erotic romance by Nicolette Grey it takes on different forms.
“Moving Violations” deals with the loss of freedom and a special dream. “Lost
Canyon” begins with the death of a beloved family member in a harsh and foreign
environment. In “Time and a Half…Plus Benefits”, the heroine must learn to cope
with her low sense of self-esteem after a failed relationship, and “Windswept Beach
Although each story in this book is unique, they all
share the same initial undercurrent of loss as well as the “founding” aspect
that brings their heroines through their trials, intact and stronger - love.
LOST & FOUND …the losses we endure with the
happy endings we strive for, from Nicolette Grey and Hot Ink Press - because
love should never be boring!
Excerpts
From “Moving
Violations” (Book 1 in LOST AND FOUND)
Bobby Lee stared
out the window. He wouldn't meet her eyes as their driver opened the door and
pulled him to his feet. “All right now, folks, here’s what we’re going to do.
Bobby Lee, I'm going to un-cuff you. Go to the front desk of the Sandpiper
Motel across the street and ring the bell. When the girl comes, get us a room.
And, Bobby Lee? Remember what I told you – as long as y’all do what I say, you’ll
both be fine.”
“Let me see your
badge,” Georgia Rae insisted as cold fingers of panic gripped her gut. “You’re
way out of line, here.”
The cop removed
his hat and ran a large hand through his hair.
Unbuttoning the shirt of his uniform, he removed it and draped it across
the seat. Beneath the blue and gray, he was wearing a plain white t-shirt. “Do
I need to remind you about Spindrift
Drive
Georgia Rae
swallowed hard. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
He chuckled and
ran a finger across her cheek. “You and your boyfriend are thieves. I caught
you red-handed, so I suggest you shut the hell up.”
“Or what?”
“Jail. Breaking
and Entering’s a Class H felony. Let’s see - that’s four to twenty-five years,
I believe. Now, are you going to behave, or do I have to run you in?”
Georgia Rae
slumped in the seat staring at her bound hands. Her dreams of California
From “Lost
Canyon” (Book 2. in LOST AND FOUND)
Cecilia stepped
from the wagon as they entered the dust-strewn town of Lost Canyon
“Are we there,
yet?”
“Not quite,
darlin’.” Wayne Tibbits’ voice was terse as he wiped the sweat from his brow.
He softened the disappointing news with a brief upturn of his chapped lips and
pointed ahead to the distant mountains. “All we've got left is the Bighorn Mountains – once we’re over them, we’re home.”
She sighed and
lifted her petticoats as she stepped over the muddy ruts left from another
wagon of travelers headed west. “How many more days?”
Her father
looked to the sky and frowned. “Ten’s my guess, if the weather holds. Don’t
reckon it will, though. Not from the looks of those clouds overhead.” He patted
the seat beside him. “Climb back up and wait here. I’ll ask at the saloon about
a place where we can camp tonight - someplace with water and good grass for the
horses.”
Cecilia returned
to the wagon and hauled herself up. “This is Indian
territory . Don’t you think we’d be better off staying within the
town limits?”
From “Time And A
Half…Plus Benefits” (Book 3. In LOST AND FOUND)
“William!”
The screech came
from an upper window out of which Trulee Hightower leaned, frowning fiercely.
“I’m not paying you to stand around talking! Start unloading! I want everything
marked with an orange sticker to come in first.”
“Gotcha, boss,”
Will shouted. Turning to Missy he
whispered, “I told you so.”
From the back of
the truck, Matt indicated a large walnut dresser. “Let’s get that one out of
the way, Willy Boy. With any luck this’ll go smoothly and we’ll be done early.”
“You’re not
driving back to New York
“Nope,” Will
said, rolling his eyes. “Matt’s an eternal optimist. The way Trulee operates,
it’ll take at least two days to unload this shit and get it set up. The
Twoomeys sprung for hotel rooms for the whole crew for the night. Us included.
The soonest we’ll be leaving is tomorrow afternoon.”
“Why?” Matt
said, turning to her with a sly grin. “Got something in mind?”
Missy felt heat
flood her cheeks and shook her head. Ignoring the flutter in her belly, she
headed for her car.
From “Windswept
Beach” (Book 4. in LOST AND FOUND)
“Well, finally!
It’s about time you two showed up!”
Anna’s eyes
traveled up the path to the front porch and settled on the voice’s owner, a
tall man with dark hair, muscular build, and wide grin. He waved when he caught
her eye and took a sip from the plastic glass he held in his hand.
“Hi Bruce,” she
called, forcing a smile. “Good to see you.”
In ten steps he
was across the yard and standing in the driveway. Anna found herself engulfed
in a bear hug as the big man turned to clap Carter’s hand. “Hey, stranger!
Meredith and I figured you missed your plane. We were just about to take your
room.”
“Our flight was
late leaving Atlanta so we missed our connection
in Nassau
Carter dropped
his suitcase at his feet and turned to greet his old college roommate properly,
with a mock tackle courtesy of their old college football days. “Later’s better
than never,” he said, landing on his back. He dusted himself off as Bruce
helped him to his feet. “Good to see you, man.”
