| Cover of Clear as Glass by Lynn Kellan |
Poised to become her overbearing father's right-hand man, Jaye
Davis is tired of being a faceless drone, writing software. She’d rather help
real people—like the family who owns a struggling glassblowing factory in rural
Pennsylvania. While she’s there, she might figure out how to squash the secrets
gnawing at her.
Mitchell Blake and his father keep butting heads about expanding
Blake Glassware, and now Mitch has to deal with his father's consultant, Jaye.
She claims online marketing will boost sales, but Mitch insists broadening
their product line will increase revenue. Arguing with this doe-eyed woman
makes one thing perfectly clear: she has the power to shatter his safe, lonely
life.
Jaye’s got four weeks to save his glassblowing factory, but he
detests her marketing plan. She’s got no place to live, but he has an extra
bedroom in his house. She’s got secrets, but living with a glassblower who can
see right through her would be an enormous mistake…or would it?
A Sneak Peek Inside the Cover...
Hot anger blasted out of her
anguish, opening her throat with a sudden surge of adrenaline. “Is this how you
reacted when your mother left? Did you stand on your almighty principles and
condemn her, too? I bet you treated your fiancée the same way.” Jaye clamored
out of the hot tub and landed on the deck. “Your self- righteousness is more
dangerous than that bear.”
“My self-righteousness is
justified.” He pointed a finger in her direction. “You lied. I didn’t.”
“Clearly, I owe you an apology. I’m
sorry, Mitch. I didn’t tell you how much money I have.” Not caring that she
stood barefoot in cold snow, she spread her arms wide. “Are you happy now?
You’ve been looking for an excuse not to trust me, and you finally found it.”
He slapped his hands on the edge of
the tub and stood. “Let me guess. You’re walking out in the middle of an
argument. Again.”
“Bingo. Enjoy the solitude. Forgive
me for not showing you my investment portfolio before our first kiss. Call me
crazy, but I don’t like to financially undress until I get to know a guy.” She
ripped her towel off the hook, leaving behind a clump of white thread wiggling
in the cold air. “You did a great job of convicting me before you ever heard my
testimony. If you ever get tired of blowing glass, you should become a
prosecutor.”
His hands fisted against the tub’s
plastic rim. “While we’re trading advice, let me do you a favor and state the
obvious. You believe every man will break your heart because one man did.”
“Three men stepped on my heart, but
who’s counting?” First her father, then David, and now Mitch. When would she
find a man willing to drop his own agenda for a few moments to listen to her?
She crossed the deck toward the
house, stormed inside, and locked herself in her room. Stripping out of her wet
bathing suit, she dressed and grabbed her camera, laptop, and purse. Her
clothes could wait until tomorrow…but she couldn’t wait another second to leave
Mitch.

Thanks for featuring Clear as Glass! I wanted to write about a burly glassblower after I watched the men work at Simon Pearce Glassware. I decided to give my glassblower a problem: his father is doing a poor job managing their glassblowing business and hires a woman to develop a marketing plan. Mitch, of course, despises the plan.
ReplyDeleteThe last thing Mitchell Blake needs is a hot-shot consultant to "save" his glassblowing business, but this one is different. She is hiding something. If he can see through her secrets, he might have reason to fire her…or keep her forever.
