One Last Time by Corinne Michaels
Release Date: February 26th, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance
From
New York Times bestselling author, Corinne Michaels, comes a new heartwarming
standalone romance.
I’m getting really good at cutting my
losses.
First, the husband. Divorcing him was the
best decision I ever made. But between single-parenting and job-hunting, I
can’t catch my breath. When a celebrity blogging position falls into my lap,
I’m determined to succeed.
That is, until I get my first assignment
and actually see Noah Frazier for the
first time . . . practically naked and dripping wet. My heart races and I
forget how to form complete sentences. His chiseled abs, irresistible smirk,
and crystal blue eyes are too perfect to be real. So, what do I do? Get drunk
and humiliate myself, of course.
I’m ready to forget the awkward night, yet
Noah has no intention of allowing me to move on. Instead, he arranges for me to
write a feature on him, ensuring a lot more time together. One embarrassing
moment after another, one kiss after another, and before I can stop myself, I
realize—I’m falling in love with him.
But when the unthinkable happens, can I
even blame him for cutting his
losses?
What I wouldn’t give for just one last time
. . .
Excerpt:
Before I can make
a move either way, the glass door slides open and Noah walks through the
threshold.
My legs start to
quiver as his eyes meet mine. All I can think about is how I’d like to climb
him like a tree and shake his coconuts. I thought he was hot in the photo, then
he was better through the window, but up close, he’s otherworldly.
“Hi.” Noah’s throaty
voice floats around me. “You must be Kristin.”
Instead of
speaking, I stand here with my mouth hanging open. Some small sounds that could
be words escape, but they aren’t coherent.
Kill me now.
“Noah, this is my
best friend, Kristin. Who we told you about.” Heather elbows me.
“Yes. Me. Hi.
Kristin. I. You. Hi.”
Smooth. Someone
should video this because I’m sure it’s highly entertaining.
“Right.” Noah
flashes a blinding smile. “I hear you’re a reporter?”
Okay, Kristin, you have to speak in more
than one-word increments or grunting noises.
I grab Heather’s
glass she just poured and hope it’ll act as a talisman. “Yes, for a small blog,
but I’m that. A reporter. For a blog. I write.”
And a bumbling
idiot.
Noah’s green eyes
are filled with humor. He moves a little closer and places his hand on top of
mine. “Eli filled me in a little. I’m happy I came.”
I’m pretty sure I
just came. At least we’re all coming.
“Me, too.”
His lips turn up
as his eyes rake my body. “See you out there.” He winks and walks back out.
My ovaries have
officially disintegrated.
I turn back to
Heather, who bursts out into a fit of laughter. “Oh, that was epic. You all
said I was starstruck when I met Eli? You should’ve seen that!” Heather
continues to laugh at my expense.
“Yes. Me. Um. Blog. Er—” She mocks.
“Shut up.” I laugh—because, really, what else
can I do—and bump her hip before moving around the bar and grabbing a glass.
“Now, pour me a shot before I drink straight from the bottle.”
There’s only one
way to get through tonight.
Alcohol.
Lots of Alcohol.
