Jewel has always been able to get the guy she wanted. The
starting jock on the football team, the team captain on the basketball team,
and the lead swimmer on the swim team. Problem is, she didn't find them the
least bit exciting. Was she cold or a she-wolf for guys? Colin thought so, and
he'd do anything to bring her down a peg or two. When these two collide on the
sandy beach during their mixed up summer vacation, sparks fly, making this a
summer neither will forget.
Excerpt 1:
“I mean, how does your mom do it? Most ladies can’t even
find a guy to marry them – my mom is still ‘dating’ my dad and can’t get him to
commit. But your mom,” Amy inhaled loudly, “she’s like…hum, like a husband
whisperer or something,” Amy laughed.
Jewel lifted her shades to peek out at Amy, “So are you
saying guys and dogs are the same?” she jumped up and plopped down on Amy’s
butt to tickle Amy’s feet, “You calling my mom a dog trainer,” she giggled.
Whack! The
volleyball hit Jewel on the forehead with such force, she fell backwards.
Jewel’s foot hit’s Meg’s drink and red juice splattered all over her white
bikini. Amy’s butt went upward to knock Jewel onto the hard deck. Falling back,
Jewel’s head hit the wood floor knocking her shades off.
Jewel
tried to catch her breath. Pain and anger became one as she blinked against the
glare of the sun. Her eyes meet the dark brown ones of a laughing boy standing
above her. A gorgeous guy, but who cared, he’d hit her so hard with his dumb
ball, she was seeing stars.
“You! You!
Stupid, don’t you know how to hit a ball?” Jewel struggled to get up, and
pushed the boys tanned hand away from her. His unruly long black hair, dark
eyes, and full lips cocked up in a smirk made her angrier.
“I’m
trying to help you,” his baritone voice sounded like he was fighting against
laughter, and he grasped her hand. His firm muscular shaped arm flexed as he
bent to help her.
Jewel
slapped it away, “I don’t want your help you ruined my bathing suit and,” she
touched her forehead where a small lump was forming, “put a knot on my head!”
She pushed at him and stood up, grabbing the volleyball off the ground. His
yummy face taunted her when his eyebrow went up questioning her motive. Then
she aimed the ball at his head and missed.
He ducked,
“What was that for?” His laughing eyes turned stormy.
Waving her
hand at him, she stepped forward. “Idiots that hit girls with their,” Jewel
slipped back, and tried to get her balance, but the last thing she remembered
was him smirking at her as her head hit the floor again.
Excerpt 2:
Jewel sighed watching her phone ring for the tenth time in
the last hour. She kicked the cell phone off her beach chair and bit her nail.
The sea. The beautiful sea in front of her couldn’t evoke any depth within her
heart. Maybe what they called her at school was true. Maybe she was made of
ice. Couldn’t feel, couldn’t love, was only a pretty face with nothing in
between. The large beach home which shared a wraparound deck, and a middle wall
with a neighbor had seen better days. It was perfect, a temporary escape from
all the drama at home.
“You
should just answer the thing. Stop stringing him along,” her cousin Megs
teased, and tapped Jewel’s dark tan leg with her pale foot.
“Easy
for you to say, you don’t have a boyfriend who’s scrumptious, head of the
football team, everything a girl should want. But he doesn’t ‘do’ it for you.”
Jewel rolled her eyes and huffed, plopping back in her beach chair. She tied
her dirty blond hair in a knot, a clash to her darker hued skin tone which made
most people wonder if she’d dyed her hair.
“Nobody
ever does it for you,” Megs busted out laughing, “What is he, like boyfriend
number five this year? And girl, you’ve been known to make the big guys cry.
What do you do with them?” her platinum blond hair appearing to glow in the
sun.
