TAKE THAT RIDE
by Meg Benjamin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
They’ve
only got a week. They need to make it count.
Coy
Blackburn is an up-and-coming country singer, but right now he feels more like
he’s down-and-going. He’s at the end of a long tour, and his band is dragging.
A week-long gig at the Faro tavern in Konigsburg, Texas, may get them back on
their feet or it may be a disaster. For Coy, it feels like it could go either
way.
Lexi
Markham is living life on auto-pilot at the moment. As the main driver at her
family’s tour business, she spends her days taking tourists around the Texas
wineries and trying to get over her breakup with her lying fiancé. Now her
sister has booked her to drive a country band around town, and she’s definitely
not feeling it.
When
Coy and Lexi meet, sparks fly—and not it a good way. Still, trust the power of
music (and a back country cloudburst) to overcome a few bumps in the road. But
can they even think about the future when they’ve only got a few days together?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt One:
Lexi propped
herself against the doorway watching the band slide into the complete number.
After a moment, Deirdre stepped up behind her. Lexi didn’t recognize the music
the band was playing, but it must be one of their regulars, given the easy way
they seemed to be moving through the verse. As if they felt comfortable with
what they were doing. After they’d played a few minutes that were strictly
instrumental, Coy stepped to the microphone and began to sing.
The words
weren’t familiar, but she found herself listening closely. Something about a
couple that had broken up but still had feelings for each other. The man in the
song missed the way they’d been together, even though he didn’t exactly miss
the woman herself. It was a complicated kind of lyric, a lot more complex than
she might have expected.
Lexi wasn’t
sure if she’d heard Coy sing before or not. The last time she’d heard them rehearse,
she hadn’t paid much attention. She was fairly certain now she’d never really
heard him sing. His voice was deep and resonant, but not exactly a bass. More
like baritone. Something about the way Coy sang those complicated lyrics began
to reach deep into her senses. He wasn’t really living the song, but he made
her feel as if the feelings he described weren’t totally unfamiliar. As if he
knew how to make her feel them, too.
A shiver
traveled up her backbone, and her arms seemed to tingle. She checked to see if
she had gooseflesh.
