Blurb
Maya Gonzalez has tired of the heartbreak that comes with Landon’s deployments year after year. When he walks back into her life, she cannot deny her heart, despite her reservations.
As they lose
themselves in each other and the beauty of Cabo, their passion is rekindled
once again, but Maya knows that one phone call means
deployment for Landon, putting an end to their reunion, and possibly their
relationship.
Nature at its best
Cabo San Lucas, where Chica Bella takes
place, is a beautiful spot of the world. While visiting there last year, I was
lucky to be able to do some very exiting activities, and incorporate them into
Chica Bella.
One of the most amazing things we did while
there was take a glass bottom boat out. Our driver was very knowledgeable of
the area, and took us to places where we were able to see the beautiful marine
life that Cabo houses. The fish were plentiful and so colorful! It was like watching
a living, breathing rainbow come to life right before my eyes.
When we visited Cabo, it was toward the end
of March. We talked to our captain about the possibility of seeing whales, and
he didn't know if we would be able to as they migrate at the end of March. He
took us out past the El Arco Rocks, just in case.
I was hopeful that we would see whales, and
I wasn't disappointed. A huge whale breached the water just a few feet from us,
its long dark back glistening under the sunlight. It was one of the most
magnificent things I'd ever seen. A few minutes later, another whale surfaced,
and this one had a baby with her. It was an up close and personal view of
nature at her finest.
Whale watching did make it into Chica
Bella, as did some hot romance, heartbreak and conflict. I hope you enjoy the
book!
Excerpt
“Where were
you?” she finally asked, her voice quiet.
“Afghanistan.”
He didn’t look
at her, but he felt her body tense next to his. “Were you hurt?”
He shrugged,
but then thought better of trying to blow off her questions. Maya had always
said she wanted nothing but honesty from him, and he had been the one to offer
this Q&A.
“I took some
shrapnel in my chest, but it was all superficial.” He gazed down at her as she
studied his chest as if she could see the wounds he was talking about.
“Did you kill?”
she whispered, her stare never leaving his chest.
Dammit. This
was the part he hated because she abhorred violence, but killing was his job.
If he didn’t take out the bad guys, they would kill American soldiers, and he
would be damned if that happened on his watch. “Yes.”
She closed her
eyes for a moment.
“Did you think
of me?”
“Oh, God,
Maya.” He put his finger under her chin and turned her face to his. Her brown
eyes sparkled with tears that made his heart feel as though it might quit
beating. “Maya, it’s always you. It’s thinking of you that made me want to stay
alive. It’s the thought of your smile, your face, your body pressed up against
mine that kept me warm at night, the sound of your laughter that made me smile
when I felt like I couldn’t smile again. Maya....”
He didn’t know what else to say, so
he did what he had wanted to do since the day he left her almost a year ago. He
brought his lips to hers.
