\"\"The Rebound Effect<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blurb:<\/strong>
\nIn the small town of Cougar, struggling single mother and veterinary assistant Teresa Lansing is still bruised from a failed relationship when Frank McAllister sweeps her off her feet.<\/p>\n

Frank is a big-city SWAT officer who moved to Cougar only four months ago. He’s handsome, charming, forceful, very sexy, and a bit mysterious. He had his eye on Teresa even before they met and is pushing for a serious relationship right away.<\/p>\n

Teresa finds his intense courtship flattering, and the sex is fabulous, but she doesn’t want her deaf six-year-old son to be hurt again. Her former fianc\u00e9 cheated on her when he got drunk after being unjustly fired, but he loves her and her son, and the whirlwind romance is complicated by his efforts to win Teresa back. And then there’s the matter of the bodies buried at Big Devil Creek\u2026<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/strong>
\nShe reached inside the robe to rub his shoulders. She was feeling something new now, something tender, loving, intimate, possessive. She kissed him. She wanted to give in to this sense of well-being, of the inevitability of a future together, of love, but wasn\u2019t it too soon?<\/p>\n

\u201cTeresa,\u201d he said, again as if her name was a special endearment. \u201cI want to sleep with you. I want to hold you all night.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt sounds very romantic,\u201d she said, \u201cbut what if I snore? What if I need you to let me breathe a little?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBreathing is overrated. I never want to let go of you again.\u201d He kissed her, and then he lifted her in his arms. It had never happened to her before\u2014Gene hadn\u2019t even carried her across the threshold on their wedding night.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrank!\u201d she cried, laughing, but a little scared\u2014what if he dropped her? He was strong, but she wasn\u2019t very light. He didn\u2019t drop her\u2014or he did, but deliberately, from about an inch above the cool, clean sheets of his bed. They were both laughing, and he started kissing her randomly, here and there. This can be a lot of fun, she told herself. Enjoy it while it lasts.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemember when you asked if it was too soon for me to date?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, and you said it depended on the definition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt turns out it was too soon,\u201d she said, \u201cand now it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n
