KISS ME AT LAST (A
Wescott Springs Novella) by Holly Cortelyou
What's better than
wine, chocolate and a little renovation magic? A sweet and sexy matchup between
a handsome, hammer-swinging contractor, Sean McMallory, and a flirty and
stubborn champagne bar owner, Melinda York, who's in a remodel pickle! Kiss Me
at Last brings you back to the charming mountain hamlet of Wescott Springs,
Colorado in a heartwarming contemporary, small town romance that's sweet with a
little kiss of heat!
One tempting kiss
will rock his world…
Melinda York has
every last penny tied up in her business remodel so the last thing she needs is
a complication—like surly Sean McMallory. But when "McGrumpy" blows
through her front door with a hammer and toolbox, she knows she’s doomed…her
replacement contractor is none other than the jerk who humiliated her at the
town council meeting. With Melinda buried in sawdust and the exasperating, but
ever-so-sexy, Sean constantly underfoot, how is she supposed to maintain her
professional poise when she can’t stop daydreaming about his broad shoulders
and his unexpectedly kind heart?
Sean McMallory likes
his life simple and straightforward, and his plate is full with a booming
construction business and family responsibilities. When a cousin begs a favor,
he’s plunged neck-deep into the whirlwind that is elegant, jet-setter Melinda
York and her wine bar renovation. There’s just no trusting the flirty Melinda
even if he can’t forget her kissable lips and surprisingly, vulnerable eyes. So
he’ll stick with his beer and country roads, and she can keep her bottles of
bubbly and fancy truffles!
Can one kiss build a
bridge to love and heal their wounded hearts?

EXCERPT:
With a smile lurking at the corners of his mouth, Sean had
been waiting for an eruption for the last ten minutes.
It was day three of construction, and Melinda had looked far
from chipper as she'd schlepped into the wine bar at eight in a slouchy gray
sweater, faded jeans, and nondescript running shoes. Her eyes were bleary, and
she cradled her coffee concoction like it was the crown jewel in the queen's
tiara. She'd winced every time his hammer drove home a nail.
Sean grinned. Hangover, he supposed, and he pounded a few
extra nails for good measure as she scuttled into her office. That ought to fix
her little red wagon, Miss High and Mighty and her sexy British accent. Not
that he'd noticed.
He glanced toward her office door, and there was Melinda,
staring at him with a stony gaze through half-slitted eyes.
"Good morning, Ms. York," Sean said in his
perkiest voice. "Sun's shining, and it's beautiful out." He fiddled
with the chuck on the drill and idly revved it a few times for some bonus
noise.
"Is there anything quiet you can do for a while?"
Melinda said, her tone was pained.
"Not feeling well?"
"I'm fine. I have some phone calls to make to wine
distributors and a little peace and quiet would be divine."
"Go back to your coffee shop for those calls. Unless you
want me to take a break already? That will slow me down."
Melinda glared. "I'm trying to get some work done,
too."
"Well, ma'am. This is a construction zone, so there's
going to be noise. We're not slapping on some paint and hanging a few light
fixtures. We're adding beams, ripping out floors. What exactly were you
expecting? Should I bring a bowl of potpourri or something?"
"That might help." Her tone was drenched in syrup.
"Or do you have a silencer for that drill?"

Tantalizing Tidbit: Like my heroine, Melinda, I'm a total champagne junkie! I love me some bubbles! But unlike my heroine, I'm addicted to home improvement and renovations. My hubby is my partner in crime.

Another Tempting Tidbit…I love the mountains, forests and lakes of Colorado (and all of the West, really). When I created Wescott Springs, I decided to whip up the exact kind of town I wished to live in…a swanky resort, a tight knit community, cool shopping, wine bars and lots and lots of hiking trails with cozy spots for trysting couples!
