Excerpt
Now she was waiting for her fourth and final date.
Eamon.
Goodness, anticipation is everything.
She couldn’t believe he wanted to go out with her on a
real date. Most guys found her too intellectual. It wasn’t
her fault she owned a bookstore and loved to read.
History, fiction, romance, fantasy, sci-fi—it didn’t matter.
Everything was interesting to her. No genre was off
limits.
The buzzer sounded, and she waited for Eamon. He
arrived and took his seat. He didn’t say anything. She
didn’t either. They sat for a moment, looking at each other,
his blue eyes to her green eyes.
Abruptly, the air surrounding her turned hot, but it
wasn’t the kind of hot that made you sweat. It was the
kind of sexual intensity that could consume a person, only
to let go once it had been satisfied. Opaline fought the urge
to fan herself.
Like a foggy night, the room around the two of them
became hazy. Eamon reached across the table and touched
her cheek. Her body had a will of its own, and she leaned
into his hand, closed her eyes, and waited for him to
kiss her.
“Opaline? Opaline, are you all right?”
“Wha-what?”
The room was clear again when she opened her eyes.
Eamon hadn’t kissed her. She had imagined the kiss. He
hadn’t reached out to her. But he was now. He didn’t touch
her cheek. like she had envisioned. Instead, he was
touching her hand. Until he wasn’t.
Goodness sakes alive.
“Sorry. I guess the excitement of the night has gotten
to me,” she said, recovering. “Did you ask me something?”
“No problem. I asked what you like to eat. If we’re
going to go out on a date, I’ll have to "nd a restaurant
because I don’t cook.”
“I haven’t technically agreed to go out with you.” She
laughed nervously.
“I’m not going to let you say no.”
“Oh, is that how it’s going to be?” Opaline reached
across the table and took his hand. “I guess I don’t have a
choice, then. Yes, I would like to go out with you.”
“Great. Does tomorrow night work for you?”
“You do work fast,” she said, lowering her voice, which
came out in a low silvery tone.
“Only when I need to.”
She knew he was implying other things, and she
smiled again, wishing he had kissed her.
The buzzer ended their date, and Opaline stood. Most
of the other attendees had finished their dates too. “I hate
to rush things, but I need to wrap things up for the event.”
“If you would like, I can help you with the cleanup,”
Eamon said.
“That’s so thoughtful, and here I was thinking you
only liked to give the orders.”
She saw by the way his head tilted to the side that her
reply had caught him off guard. He looked like a kid caught
with his hand in the cookie jar, and he was having a hard
time coming up with a comeback. He mustn’t be used to
word games like her customers at the bookstore were.
They usually gave it right back to her. Eamon, on the other
hand, was still at a loss for words.
“Yes, I’d love your help. I have to stick around until
everyone leaves. I’ll make an announcement to let them
know what time we have to be out of here. Then I can—no,
we—can start.”
“Sounds good. I’ll round up my sister to pitch in too,”
he said.
Opaline heard him chuckle and wondered if he had
offered his sister’s help without her knowledge.

Author Biography
Sonja Gunter
I was born and raised in the cold and beautiful Minnesota, but I escaped to Illinois for seventeen years to raise my two boys, and now I call Florida home. My husband Andy, who’s always been my hero, has put up with my late night computer typing and endless stacks of papers with my stories on them. We have one furry friend as family: Chip, a sixteen year old ragdoll cat.
Life has been full of ups and downs, but I’ve made it through the hard times. I love to travel and go to Disney World to trade pins. I’ve been a bowler for many years, and you can catch me writing my next novel at the lanes.
I encourage you to check out my web site, www.sonjagunter.com for more info and don’t be surprised if I let my Norwegian heritage come through in my stories.
