Title: All Chocolate, Extra Cherries


Author: Jane Drager


Genre: Romance


Book Blurb:


Grace O'Dell isn't in the mood to smile. Her mom is dying, her bank account is depleted, and come Labor Day she could lose her job. Mentally and physically tired, she wonders if she will ever be able to have her dream love.


Joe McGann's mission is to make the beautiful woman he spies smile. She looks so sad, and something about her tugs at his heart. He knows a banana split is a great way to break the ice. But convincing her to accept his invitation could take an act of divine intervention.


Excerpt:


The familiar tingle returned. He looked to his right and saw her on the promenade about thirty feet away, watching him. She clutched her purse strap like the bag would jump off her shoulder and run away. But man-o-man, seeing her, he barely contained a runaway heart. She had that effect, and he liked the feeling. She wore the same clothes, too, but he doubted her uniform deviated. Jumping to his feet, he removed his glasses. “I was afraid you wouldn’t come.”


Slipping the sunglasses from her nose, she meandered toward him. “I can’t believe you did.”


Then, a slow smile stretched her luscious lips. Her teeth were brighter than the sun, and he blinked. As she stood before him, he wasn’t sure what to do next—hug her, kiss her, or sigh like an idiot. Instead, he wiped his moist palms along his shorts. “Want to stroll on the beach?”


“We need beach tags. Unless it’s after five o’clock.”


He cocked a brow. “A what?”


“Beach tags. Some towns call them badges or passes, but Cape May calls them tags. Either way, it’s a fee to use the beach.”


Rats. A glitch he hadn’t anticipated.
