SYNOPSIS
Reeling from a sudden breakup, Casey Webb leaves Brooklyn, drives north, and settles in a sleepy mountain town in upstate New York. She’s convinced she’s happy being alone—until she reads the acknowledgments in her ex-boyfriend’s hit debut novel, thanking his new girlfriend “above all.”
Good thing Ben Mailer is in town. The hot, young Brooklyn-bound chef offers the perfect distraction. Soon the backwoods are heating up… But as their fling turns into more, the demands of Ben’s family and budding career make moving to her idyllic town impossible.
Now Casey must decide what she can’t live without—her life in the mountains, or the man she wants to be hers above all.
EXCERPT- ABOVE
ALL by Rebecca Brooks
At last he
turned to go. On his way out, he wished Casey a good night and then reached up
to tap the back of the doorframe before swinging the door shut behind him.
She
really, really wished he hadn’t.
Because
lifting his arms to the doorframe made his jacket rise up enough to expose the
top of his low-slung jeans. As well as the thin green line of his boxers
hugging his hips underneath. It didn’t take X-ray vision to know that just
above that patch of skin, hidden by his white undershirt and whatever else he
had on under his black North Face fleece, were two long dimples carved into his
lower back, matching the dimples on his face.
Officially
the sexiest part of any man’s body, and the one thing Casey dreamed about on those
rare nights when she did, in fact, allow herself to dream.
But this
was not going to be one of those
images she replayed in her mind’s eye. She was already berating herself for
noticing. Not only had she turned to putty simply because he slid the hair out
of his eyes as if he didn’t know the gesture would make every girl within a
ten-mile radius want to extend her hand to his cheek. But she, Cassandra Webb,
competent, capable, got dumped on her ass but still got back up again,
thirty-four-year-old independent woman, had checked out his
twenty-something-year-old butt.
She made
herself swear she wouldn’t give him a second thought. She wasn’t interested.
Period. She’d come to the woods to be alone and she fully planned to stay that
way. She was going to read a little more until she was sufficiently distracted
and then head back to her cabin, warm some cookies in the microwave, and go to
sleep. Geller would take over registration in the morning and she would never
see this group again.
Casey
reached for her book, but she couldn’t stop her hand from hovering over the
ledger. Before she knew what she was doing, she allowed herself a quick peek at
the records and groaned.
Geller’s
handwriting was unmistakable. They were staying for four days, three nights.
There was
no way she wouldn’t find herself looking at those dimples again.
ABOUT REBECCA BROOKS
Rebecca Brooks lives in New York City in an apartment filled with books. She received a PhD in English but decided it was more fun to write books than write about them. She has backpacked alone through India and Brazil, traveled by cargo boat down the Amazon River, climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, explored ice caves in Peru, trekked to the source of the Ganges, and sunbathed in Burma, but she always likes coming home to a cold beer and her hot husband in the Bronx. Her books are about independent women who leave their old lives behind to try something new—and find the passion, excitement and purpose they didn’t know they’d been missing.
