FOR THE LOVE OF JULY
BLURB EXCERPT
Think summertime... and baseball comes to mind.
But let‟s say we mix things up a bit. Think of it as a
recipe in the making.
A recipe for love.
Start by tossing together one spunky hometown girl,
Abby Evans, who bakes cookies for a living and Kevin
Kardell, a hot and upcoming Major League Baseball sen-
sation. A Chicago native and new in town, he is more
than ready to show Cleveland just how good he really is.
Add a dash of humor, a pinch of sass and a whole lot
of chemistry.
Finally, the most important step of all? Add heat.
Lots of it.
The result? Bam! Bang! Sha-zamm! You‟ve got fire-
works! A recipe that‟s a winner, hands down!
But of course, there‟s a catch ... because, as we all
know, anything worth having never comes easy. Now she finally understood what Cinderella must
have felt like the night of the ball.
Was he her prince?
Yes. A billion times yes. Everything you’ve ever dreamed about
is standing right here in front of you. So maybe you should say some-
thing?
She swallowed, her voice coming out in a whisper.
“You… you look so good. You look so, so…”
Then she was suddenly babbling, with not a clue of
what was she was saying. “But you‟re early. And I still
don‟t have my shoes on. I didn‟t expect you to…” Her
voice trailed off as he came closer.
He hesitated, almost as if he wasn‟t quite sure how to
answer her. He finally smiled. “I guess I‟m sort of early,
aren‟t I? But this is only because I couldn‟t wait to see
you.”
The roughness of his voice set her heart pounding.
But it was his eyes that did her in. Sending a message
filled with so much love, she could feel it settle inside of
her, deep within her soul.
And in that very instant she knew, no matter what
happened, she could never let him go. She loved him too
much to ever let this happen.
