Romance Author Lynn LaFleur

After one of his band’s concerts, P.J. ends up at The Tarot Café, where he catches a glimpse of Teanna Caldwell. The attraction is strong and instant, but it’s impossible for P.J. to do anything about it. With a little more than a smile, they go their separate ways.

A freak accident gives P.J. another chance. He alters his appearance and, now using the name James Parker, heads for Texas to find Teanna.

It’s lust at first sight when Teanna meets the handsome yet oddly familiar stranger at her family’s pharmacy. She loves being in James’ arms, yet she suspects he’s hiding something from her.

With Teanna, James has found his soul mate and the life he’s always wanted. But he can’t help but wonder if Teanna will still love him when she discovers their relationship is built on lies.

Excerpt:

Teanna filled two glasses with ice and fresh limeade she’d made less than an hour ago. Limeade and lemonade had been huge sellers this week with the little taste of summer that had hit Lanville. She made a mental note to stop by the grocery store on the way home tonight and buy more lemons. With their heat wave predicted to last at least another week, she’d stay busy serving cold drinks.

She handed Becca one glass and almost took a sip of her own drink when she saw Becca’s hand freeze halfway to her mouth.

“What’s wrong?”

“Major hunk at three o’clock.”

Teanna turned and looked out the large, plate-glass window. A dark-haired man stood on the sidewalk, examine the front of the store. He appeared to be reading the list of soda fountain goodies Teanna had posted in the window.

“He is gorgeous,” Becca said. “Look at those shoulders. Yum-yum.”

Heat rushed through Teanna’s body that had nothing to do with the hot temperature outside. She didn’t speak for her tongue refused to work. Her heart thumped in her chest. Her breathing became deeper, heavier. A fluttering flared in her stomach. She’d admired many handsome men, but only one man had ever caused such an instant reaction in her.

The man at The Tarot Café.

How ridiculous to compare this man to the one she’d seen in December. They looked nothing alike. That man had worn a cap, but she’d seen blond strands peeking from beneath the rim. He’d also had a full blond beard and worn glasses. This man had dark-brown hair, no glasses, and was clean shaven.

And yet…

Something about him tugged at her memory. She felt as if she should know him.
