RETURN TO AUDUBON SPRINGS
By
RoseAnn DeFranco
BLURB:
When Emma Grant
returns to her family's Audubon Springs beach house to fulfill the stipulations
of her father's will, she has every intention of forcing her former lover out
of the house for good. She's never fit into her wealthy family and would prefer
avoiding her past, but with her brother threatening to reveal her young
daughter, she has no choice.
Rafe Iuliano has other
plans. The wealthy Grants tried to bribe him out of Emma's life years ago, but
he's determined to prove once and for all that a master carpenter is worthy of
Emma and the house.
Their ridiculous and
steamy battle for the house reignites the love and passion that bloomed between
them years ago. But when Rafe discovers she's kept their daughter a secret for
two years, can he overcome anger and pride to claim his family and the love of
his life, or will the deception drive a final wedge between them?
Excerpt No. 4
Emma would have looked adorable in the simple
snug tank top and Bermuda shorts if it weren’t for the look of utter horror on
her face.
“Have you lost your mind?” she screamed.
“Yes!” He turned off the saw, threw it on
the ground, whipped off his protective goggles and tossed them as well. “Why do
you ask?”
“You cut a massive hole in the back
door!”
“This here is an example of our
differences. You see a hole. I see a home improvement project. This is no
ordinary square hole in a door, this is a doggie door.” He pushed on the large
piece of cut wood until it fell and landed on the pantry floor inside with a
loud clap.
“It’s about three times the size of a
doggie door,” she stated flatly.
“Yeah, but I’m the dog. So Princess, what
do you think?”
“I think you are insane.”
“I AM insane! You have MADE me insane!
You threw all my stuff out front. You used my underwear for rags!”
“I couldn’t find anything else.”
“There is a basket full of rags in
there.”
“None of them fit the occasion,” she said
with a straight face.
“I must have lost my mind because that
almost makes sense.” He gestured to the door. “Ladies first.” When she stared
unmoving, he climbed through the cut door and opened it. “Just for the record,
a caveman would have made you climb through.”
“Just for the record, I only changed the
locks on the front door.”
