Today on Beyond My Writing Space I'm joined by Lilian Darcy, author of Late Last Night!!!
The Deets...
It’s
May 1996 and Marietta High School English teacher Kate MacCreadie is almost at
the end of her rope, torn between the demands of her work and her heavy
involvement in helping her younger brother Rob and his wife Melinda take care
of their five young children on the MacCreadie family ranch.
When
Marietta’s fine-looking new sheriff, Harrison Pearce, pulls Kate over for her
third traffic violation in as many months, they both know it’s a sign that
something has to give.
Kate
finds it almost a relief to be told by this calm, strong man to get her life in
order, and then she just keeps on seeing him - at school after there’s been a
suspicious break-in, on the evening of the prom when he’s off duty and driving
his nephew and friends to the event in one of his brother’s gorgeous vintage
cars.
Late
that night, after prom is over, a tragedy at River Bend Park brings Kate and
Harrison together yet again, and this time, in the highly charged atmosphere,
Kate discovers that she never wants to let him go. But with his divorce still
fresh, is Harrison ready for someone new?
Sneak Peek inside the pages
He gave a slow smile, looked her up
and down… or actually the opposite, down, then up… and reached forward, into
her hair. He pulled off the sunglasses she’d pushed up there when the sun had
dropped behind the mountains. Then he reached again, and showed her the glasses
she’d spent ten minutes looking for after Annette and Gary Shepherd had left,
back at school. They’d been on the top of her head the whole time.
Finally, he took the spare pair
sitting right on the end of her nose, that she’d been unconsciously peering
over as she drove, and had totally forgotten about. The six earpieces of three
sets of spectacles made a tangle in his big, upturned hand.
“Ah,” she said, and took them from
him. She would have been deeply embarrassed if he hadn’t been smiling at her.
His smile was as calm as the rest of him. It quietly lit his face from the inside,
twinkled deep in his eyes, and had a hint of wicked appreciation that might be
purely her imagination.
“So I’ll hear from you tomorrow
about the tail light,” he said.
He really was letting her off! “Yes.
You definitely will. Thank you. Thanks so much.”
“Don’t mention it.”
“Oh…”
“I mean seriously, don’t mention it
to anyone, okay?” Definitely a twinkle in his eyes now. “Because I’m not
supposed to do things like this.”
“I—I won’t.”
She climbed back into the pickup,
started the engine and set off carefully, knowing he was watching her.
Don’t
speed.
