in the Summer Lovin’ Series, however, it is a standalone novel. Author Sara Hubbard joins me today.
Sullivan Hope is a total screw up. He
finished university with the help of his father’s donations to the school and
an ultimatum: Straighten up and join him in the family business, or screw up
again and he’s cut off for good. This summer is his last chance to live it up
before walking the straight and narrow in the fall, and the lure of a good party
and, even better, alcohol is more than he can resist. Besides, he’s never met a
situation he can’t handle or talk his way out of, or a pair of panties he
couldn’t talk his way into. That is, until he meets Abby, the nursing student
full of sarcasm and sass.
Flying half way across the country to do
her practical nursing placement at Stone Cliff Resort hadn’t been part of Abby
Claire’s plans for the summer. When her first appointment, which would allow
her to stay at home and care for her family, falls through, it’s either pack up
and go or risk not graduating. Meeting the rich, God’s gift to all things on
earth playboy, Sullivan Hope wasn’t in her plans, either, but the more she’s
around him, the clearer she sees the man who hides behind the parties and liquor.
Excerpt:
Smoulder
is chatting with the stewardess. I’m trying my best not to notice but curiosity
gets the better of me. She’s smiling and laughing, hanging on his every
word—which thankfully, I can’t hear because of the movie. I’m sure he’s full of
lines. Meanwhile, he’s calm, cool and collected. It’s not long before he gets
up and heads for the bathroom, and she follows, glancing once over her shoulder
to see if anyone is watching.
Yes,
lady, I am.
He
emerges eleven minutes later. Not bad, Hero. Not ninja style or anything, but I
suppose eleven minutes would be forever to a lot of women. I roll my eyes as he
stops to tuck his polo shirt in before sitting down. I snatch my ear buds and
pull them out. I can’t help myself; I have to say something now. “Really?”
He
turns to meet my smirk. “I’m sorry? Did you say something?” His lips curl into
a smile, the same cheeky smile I’m sure he’s turned on many unsuspecting
females—only I’m prepared for it. It would take a lot more than his smile and
his chiseled cheekbones and abs to make me lose my panties for him.
“The
flight attendant? Could you be anymore cliché?”
