Here's a sneak preview of MEMORIES OF LOVE, #3 in the Hollywood Hearts series.
Washington,
D.C.
Grant Hollings stood
naked at the apartment window. Three
a.m., no one can see me. He leaned his toned, tanned body against the
window sash. The lights of the city didn’t distract him from the pain shooting
through his heart.
I’ll never see her again. A lump formed in his throat, choking him,
bringing tears to his eyes. He brushed his dark brown hair off his forehead, scratched
his chest, then padded back to bed, lowering himself gently so as not to wake
Carol Anne.
She stirred slightly in
her sleep. Easing onto his side, his stare roamed over her. Moonlight kissed
her, creating highlights that emphasized the perfect planes of her face. He
lowered his gaze to her creamy shoulders then all the way down to where the
sheet hid her from further perusal. She’s
lovely. She’s mine. For one more day. A sigh escaped his throat as he slid
closer to the young woman, the love of his life.

Moving up against him, she
muttered something he couldn’t understand. Grant pulled her into his embrace,
folding his arm around her naked body. He kissed her blonde locks and tried to
fall back to sleep. He dozed on and off until the early autumn sun peeked in
and woke him at six o’clock. The red-melting-into-orange sunrise began the last
day Carol Anne Brewster and Grant Hollings would be together before she flew to
Los Angeles to star in her first film.
He rolled over and ran
his hand down her side. So soft and
smooth. She cozied up to him. He spooned her, nuzzling her neck and pulling
the soft, fleece blanket up to shield them against the cool, October morning air.
She shifted to her side then lay still. Grant loved cuddling in the mornings,
before the outside world intruded on them with work obligations, acting classes,
and court appearances. Now it was just Grant and Carol Anne.
He breathed in deeply, enjoying
the sweet scent of her skin. Her looks, so breathtaking to the public, ran
deep. Her inner beauty, and vulnerability she bared only to him, had captured
his heart. Forsaking other women, he cleaved only to her, which was a big deal
for Grant Hollings, up-and-coming D.C. attorney and former heartbreaker.
