In August I revealed the cover for my upcoming movie star romance, RISING STAR, and now I've got an excerpt to share with you! Read on to meet Alice and new her movie star roommate, Griffin... Alice grabbed her clothes and shower tote, stepped out into the hall—and found herself face to face with Griffin. Wearing nothing but a towel. A towel that was sagging dangerously low on his hips and only barely covering his man parts. She froze, so startled she let the shower tote tip, dumping its contents all over the floor. “Damn,” she said, dropping to her knees to gather up her things, which at least gave her something to look at that wasn’t Griffin and his sagging towel. “Hey,” he said sheepishly. “Morning.” “Morning,” she muttered, trying to ignore Griffin’s mostly naked—and extremely impressive—body. Settle down. It’s not like it’s the first time you’ve seen his abs. He’d done plenty of shirtless scenes on TV, not to mention a cover of Men’s Health last year that she may or may not have drooled over at the checkout stand. This was just the first time she’d seen his abs in person. It was one thing to see Griffin Beach’s abs on screen or in an airbrushed photo, and something else entirely to see them standing two feet away from her in the flesh, with mere millimeters of sagging terrycloth hiding his unmentionables. Apparently they hadn’t done that much airbrushing for the magazine cover. His six-pack was very real, as was his Adonis belt and the vein leading down to his—yeah. Wow. Griffin squatted down to help her pick up her things, which unfortunately caused his towel to gap, exposing an alarming amount of skin on his muscular upper leg, all the way up to-- Alice tore her eyes away again, hoping he didn’t notice her blushing as she accepted the bottle of shampoo he held out. She hurriedly shoved the rest of her stuff back into her tote and stood, trying to keep her eyes averted. “Sorry.” As Griffin got to his feet, he finally seemed to notice his towel wasn’t covering him as well as it could and tugged it up higher on his hips, grimacing. “I realized as I was about to get in the shower that I left my clothes in the dryer. I promise I won’t make a habit of parading around the house in a towel.” Too bad. Preorder your copy of RISING STAR today! On sale in ebook and paperback Nov. 8.
