Happy book birthday to fellow Liquid Silver Books author Anneka Ever, whose latest romance novel, Hearts Race, Book 2 in the Burns Class of Love series, is out today. Here's Anneka to tell you about it:
When it comes to adventure, she’s stop and he’s go. When it comes to romance, he’s yes and she’s no.
Can billionaire Dylan Delaney overcome his adrenaline addiction with life coach Greta Larsen’s help before he loses his technology empire? Can she move past the death of her husband to find love again?
When Greta finds herself attracted to her very rich, very handsome new client, she sees it as a betrayal of her late husband. Despite her feelings of guilt, she can’t walk away from Dylan, especially when she learns he harbors his own grief.
His secret sorrow is the key to Dylan’s love of danger. Greta is determined to unlock his mysterious past so he’ll stop courting death. What she doesn’t count on is the passion she frees.
Dylan’s never met a woman who could slow him down. Until now. Greta teaches him to be mindful of the moment, but soon his every moment is filled with thoughts of her. Has he replaced one addiction with another?
Hearts Race is the follow-up story to Riverswept and the second book in the Burns Class of Love series. The story returns readers to the small town of Burns, Virginia and also introduces them to the Blue Ridge Mountains around Charlottesville, Virginia.
Excerpt
She glanced at the pool and saw the top of Dylan’s dark head as he cut through the water. “Why am I here?”
Ben snapped shut the laptop and turned to watch his friend swim. “In theory, to help Dylan overcome his problems so he won’t lose his company. In practice…well, that’s another matter.”
Her throat tightened. “This is a waste of my time.”
“You’re getting paid well.”
“I want to earn it.” She heard the irritation in her voice. Ben must have, too, because he peered at her with alarm.
“I’ll talk with him and see if I can get him to take this more seriously.”
She nodded and looked back at the pool. Dylan had climbed out of the water. He wore red swim trunks, modest but not baggy. He ran his hand down his chest and skimmed the water from his skin, dispersing droplets that looked like sunlit diamonds. He had the build of a natural athlete, not overly muscular but firm. When he turned to grab a towel, she saw scars crisscrossing his back, telling the tale of his many mishaps. After he dried off, he padded barefoot to the pavilion and grabbed a bottle of cold water.
He chugged it all and then swiped his mouth with the back of his arm. He smiled at her. “Did you come down here to chew me out?”
She felt her face grow warm. “Why didn’t you meet me like we agreed you would do?”
He looked at Ben, who just shrugged and opened his laptop again. Dylan sighed and lifted his head to the ceiling. A fan stirred the air above them. Greta saw goosebumps pop up on his arms and she felt the urge to run her fingertips over his skin. Her fingers twitched.
