She swore never to trust him...
Hardworking single mom Andrea Taylor thought she knew everything about her teenage daughter. She doesn’t. Her teen is being bullied, and the school has brought in Jake Polegato to help. But the charming psychologist is the last man Andrea wants meddling in her family affairs.
Andrea has good reason to despise Jake, but her daughter comes first. Yet as Andrea and Jake work together, she begins to see the man he really is. As tensions turn into undeniable attraction, Andrea finds herself in dangerously unfamiliar territory. Because now she doesn’t just need Jake’s help...she needs him.
“Are you ready?”
“Sure, but be prepared—you may be pulling fishing line out of my hair.”
“I look forward to the opportunity to run my fingers through your hair in search of fishing line,” Jake replied, leaning toward Andrea, the heat of his body blending with hers. She fought to keep from swaying into his broad chest. She wanted to touch his face, feel the texture of his skin beneath her fingers. His body was so close...too close.
Suddenly uncertain, she retreated and concentrated on the rod she held. She
couldn’t look at him for fear he’d see her need.
“Let’s fish,” he whispered into her ear.
As an author, I enjoy writing stories about issues that people face in their everyday lives. Lives that involve doing our best in whatever we undertake, caring about each other and the one essential part of happiness that everyone seeks—finding someone to love.
Unexpected Attraction is based on a subject that everyone at one time or another has had to deal with, whether personally or with a family member: bullying. It is so important for all of us to recognize that everyone has the right to be a part of this world, to work in their chosen vocation, to love and fulfill his or her dreams without fear of being bullied.
I experienced bullying in my life, watched my children go through it and even my grandchildren. Some instances were more serious than others, but each time it produced anxiety, fear and uncertainty.
This story is about each one of you who has faced being bullied and had to find a way to cope with it. But it is also the story of love between two people who at first glance didn’t want anything to do with each other, but thanks to their shared circumstances they had to find a way to work together to help two teenagers. In learning to work together, they came to love each other with their whole hearts.
I hope you enjoy this story and share your own experiences around bullying. I can be reached at www.stellamaclean.com or on Facebook or Twitter.
Sincerely,
