Synopsis
for Hiding Out:
Samuel Davenport runs
his family's New York based advertising agency. His brother, Adam, runs
from responsibility and anything remotely boring. And his temp, Haley,
runs so she'll never be caught and hurt again. She moved to the city
New Year's Day to hide and recover, to build a new life far from her
past. In an effort to lie low, Haley never expects to be more than a
temp. What begins for Sam as an excuse to get to know her better, ends
up being an opportunity for advancement and excitement for Haley. When
Sam tries to uncover all of Haley's mysteries, he exposes her hiding
place, endangers her life, and threatens to destroy any chance of them
ever having a future together.
Excerpt For Hiding Out:
“Come here,” Haley said
softly. “Want to hold her?” And when he didn’t move, she walked over to
him. He tried to back away and began to
protest quietly, but she simply took him by the hand, and gently sat him in the
chair. In an instant he realized he was
genuinely afraid of handling anything that tiny. “Arms like this,” she commanded as she
demonstrated how she wanted his arms positioned. He hesitated.
“Come on,” she urged. “You’ve
held women before.” Her eyes sparkled as
she teased him.
He cleared his throat,
embarrassed. “I like them bigger.” He smiled.
“Women are suckers for men
and babies,” she said quietly.
Suddenly, his arms shot out
to hold the infant. Behind Haley,
Ellen’s eyes grew wide at the new side she was seeing of her boss. Sam smiled shyly at her then focused on the
petite bundle Haley deposited in his arms.
He looked at her with open adoration.
“Careful, Haley,” he said, “I could fall in love.”
“Oh, babies are easy to fall
in love with when their sleeping,” she said, staring at the baby that he was
holding so cautiously.
He lifted one hand and caught
her chin, forcing her to face him. “I
meant you,” he whispered in a husky voice. Sam pulled her face close and
brushed her lips with his, sending shivers down her spine.
“This was definitely one of those "can't put it down" kind of books, and I can't wait to read Adam's story and find out what happens toChase. ”
