It’s hot here in Texas, but come August 10^th, it’s going to be even hotter in Bliss, Colorado. I wanted to share a little excerpt of my upcoming book, Chasing Bliss. Hope you enjoy!

Chasing Bliss by Sophie Oak (Book #7 in The Nights in Bliss, Colorado series)

Gemma Wells came to Bliss, Colorado after a scandal cost her everything. Utterly lost, she’s built walls so high, she thinks no one can get through them. She’s done with love and friendship and all matters of the heart.
Jesse McCann and Cade Sinclair have floated through life, enjoying the world around them, but not becoming a part of it. One look at the pretty attorney and Jesse realizes he’s found a reason to stay put. Cade is crazy about her, but his dark past keeps him at arm’s length. He wants her, but he’s sure he doesn’t deserve her. 
But a secret from Gemma’s past threatens to wreck their futures. Her fiancé is back and brings danger with him. Time is running out. Jesse and Cade have to melt this Ice Queen’s heart or she might not leave Bliss alive.

Excerpt: 

Cade stared at Jesse. The man had become a wretched gossip since they’d settled into Bliss. He’d always been a little like that. Even when they’d lived in big cities, Jesse always found a way to build a little community around himself. Jesse genuinely liked taking care of the people around him, and he particularly liked having a woman to take care of. And Cade liked to join them for sex. He sighed. It was starting to sound pathetic even to his own ears. “Who have you been talking to?”

Jesse shrugged, picking up his drink. “Everyone. You know how it is. New people come to town and everyone talks.”

Cade took a long breath. “Damn it, Jess, you saw her, didn’t you?”

He smiled, a smug little grin. “It was a brief glance, but she made an impression. Blonde hair. Blue eyes. Great tits. She could stand to eat a burger. She’s not painfully thin, but she diets. I could take care of that problem.”

“I thought you didn’t see her.”

“I saw her from a distance.”

He’d seen her from a distance and decided she needed a man who could take care of her? Jesse was getting more and more desperate. “Why did she have to leave New York?”

“Laura and Holly were talking about some incident there where she tried to kill someone.”

Cade groaned. “Damn it. We just finished with the dangerous portion of our lives. I’m not hopping back in, and I’m not going to allow you to turn into some cautionary tale. Here’s what we know about this chick. We know she’s mean, and she tries to kill people. Stay away. The ski bunnies will be here soon. Once we get some powder on the mountain, you’ll have your choice of women.”

Ty could help out on that front. They’d become good friends with one of the EMTs who worked at the resort. Ty had assured Cade that once the Elk Creek Lodge was in full swing for the winter, the party would begin. Cade liked tourists. Well, he liked the nice ones. They came. They had fun. They left town.

Jesse stared at him. He tended to let Cade lead for the most part except with a couple of the women they’d shared, but there were times when he was as stubborn as the day was long. His mouth twisted into that grimace that let Cade know he’d pissed Jesse off. Still, Jesse took a long drink of his soda and sighed. “I’m sure that will be fun, brother.”

Cade put the burger aside, his appetite gone. Jesse was his only real family left. Everyone else was dead, and Cade didn’t make friends the way Jesse did. “We’ll find someone, Jess. It’s just not going to be a ball busting, big city girl.”

“You forgot to mention that I’m a soul-sucking lawyer,” a throaty voice said from the front door.

Cade stopped, his attention focused on the woman at the front of the garage. Gemma Wells, he presumed. Gemma Wells was petite with honey blonde hair, and she wore a Stella’s Diner T-shirt and jeans that clung to her every curve. Fuck. Jesse was right. Her tits were really nice. They weren’t incredibly large, but they would make a good handful, and he would bet her nipples were a decent size. He liked nipples. He liked to twist them and pinch them and suck them into his mouth. He could spend an hour just playing with a woman’s breasts.

“Oh, and cold-hearted bitch, vampire bitch, cast-iron bitch, really everything goes with bitch.” She crossed her arms over her chest. “And I didn’t bust Max Harper’s balls. Those are still on his body. Now, Bare-Chested Ape Man, if you could be bothered to look past my boobs, maybe we could have a conversation.”

“Bare-Chested Ape Man?” Cade crossed his arms over his chest, mimicking her squared off stance. Every damn word out of her mouth upped his blood pressure just a little. And it, unfortunately, had his dick jumping, too.

“Well, I don’t know your name and you seem to have zero problem with calling me names, so yes, you will be forever known as Bare-Chested Ape Man.” She turned to Jesse, her eyes narrowing.

“Gemma Wells.” Jesse grinned like the cat who’d swallowed the canary. “You’re Gemma Wells. And I like your face, too.”

A hint of smile crossed those ridiculously hot lips. “Fine. You get a name.”
