Today's treasure is, My Best Friend's Ex, a new release by Tina Gayle.....
She loved him first, but her best friend married him. Now,
divorced Brooke must choose between her best friend and the man of her dreams.
Brooke Janson has loved Garrett Sawyer since she met him on
her first day of high school. Now, he’s free to love her too. Except, his ex-wife happens to be her best
friend.
How can Brooke choose between a friend she’s known since
kindergarten and the man her heart wants?
Excerpt:
“Hello, Brooke.”
Ignoring the sudden butterflies in her
stomach, she waved a casual hand. “Hi, Garrett. It’s been awhile.”
“I believe it was just before Janet moved out,
almost a year.”
“Janet told me about the divorce. I
debated whether to call, but, well...I didn’t know what to say.” To cover her
awkwardness, Brooke allowed the words to flow from her mouth as if she had
vocal diarrhea. “I always considered you, my friend, too. We had such fun
together. I wanted to see if I could do
anything for you, but I...”
Embarrassed by her rambling, she stared
at the stuff in her cart; lettuce, fruit, protein bars, each one good for her.
Man,
I need to pick up a box of cookies.
Forcing back the urge to binge on any
tasty treat available, she recalled how his face lit up when he was excited,
his deep belly laughter, and his willingness to listen when she had a problem.
Damn
it,
she didn’t blame him for the breakup. Well, maybe for not listening to her
warning. She had told him that her friend had a natural tendency to throw
responsibility to the wind. Still, Brook hadn’t wanted to take sides. Because
it was incredibly hard to choose between two people she cared about, one a
friend since kindergarten and the other the man of her dreams. Guilt sparked
inside her.
Why? Did she still want more than just
to be his friend? Was this her chance?
“Don’t worry, I’m over it now. I bought
a house, which requires most of my time. I spent last weekend putting in a new
hot-water heater. The old one leaked.” Garrett brushed a hand through his dark,
curly hair. The silky strands fell back into place without distracting from the
perfect picture he represented.
Sexy,
hot, and totally off limits.
My Best Friend's Ex can be purchased at Amazon!

What a great set-up for plot, conflict...romance! Good luck with all your endeavors.
Nice excerpt. Sounds like a keeper.
The excerpt reads well. Nothing like an enjoyable romance for summer reading! Best wishes.
I should imagine that executive wives romance is unmined territory. Happy prospecting.
A terrific Conflict and so original! Best of luck, Tina!
Great teaser to put readers on alert that this one may be a keeper. Your usual good job.
I love your voice! I kept thinking, this is a gal I could hang with, which made me want Garrett, and get up to find some cookies! ;) Thanks for sharing and best wishes for MY BEST FRIEND'S EX (now I've got that Cars song running through my head--"my best friend's girlfriend...") and with your executive wives series. Sounds good!
