Good Morning and Welcome to another edition of our All Christmas thru Christmas Saturday spotlight feature. Our guest today is brand new to our blog so let's roll out the carpet for... Judythe Morgan and her book, Christmas Prom Rerun.
SO happy you could join us, Judythe! Please tell us about yourself and why you wrote, Christmas Prom Rerun...
Christmas has always been my favorite season, too. The lights, the music, the sense of nostalgia and hope—it all inspires me. So, when I started thinking about a new holiday story, I blended those two joyful worlds together in Christmas Prom Rerun.
A prom wrapped in holiday sparkle gave me the perfect backdrop for a second-chance romance filled with warmth, memories, and just a little bit of small-town magic.
OH, I hear you! I LOVE the magic of the holiday season! Please share your blurb and excerpt and where we can find Christmas Prom Rerun...
Sure! Here you go...
Blurb:
Her dreams pulled her to the big city.
His dreams kept him in their small town.
They walked away years ago…
But did their story ever truly end?
Broke, divorced, and back where she started, Shannon O’Leary is quietly rebuilding her life. But her high-school sweetheart, now famous artist Tyler Evans, never left their hometown. Coordinating the Christmas Prom decorations together forces a challenging walk down Memory Lane. As they untangle old lights and tinsel, old feelings sparkle. Will Shannon risk her fragile heart on a second chance with the man she once walked away from?
Excerpt: The next song ended with Holly and Brock standing in front of their table. “I bet Mr. Evans would dance if you asked him, Ms. O’Leary.” Holly gave an exaggerated wink.
“Or you could dance with me.” Brock held out his hand.
“I’d love to, Brock. Thanks for asking.” Anything to get away from Tyler and the memories.
“This is an oldie special for all you alumni here tonight. Debbie Gibson’s “Lost in Your Eyes,” the DJ announced.
The first couple of notes sent a chill down Shannon’s spine. Of all the songs.
Before she and Brock took a step, Tyler tapped on Brock’s shoulder. “Mind if I cut in? This song’s an old favorite of ours.”
“No, sir, not at all. I’d hate to waste a slow one on a teacher.” Brock answered.
Tyler tugged Shannon into his embrace. “I’m glad they’ve patched up their differences.”
His hand tightened around her waist. How could he make small talk while her world just shifted on its axis?
She had to get a grip on her emotions.
“They do make a handsome couple, but does anyone truly know what they want at seventeen or eighteen?”
“I did,” he whispered and executed a perfect dip then pulled her even closer.
Her cheeks flamed. She couldn’t see them, but her face sure burned with fire. Without thinking, she burrowed her nose into his chest so no one could see.
Tyler slid his hand to the middle of her back, squeezing her even tighter. That sent another rush of unwelcome heat.
What was he doing? No way could he still have feelings for her after all that she’d put him through. Not wanting to make a scene, she pushed away slowly, gently. “I don’t think this sets a very good example,” she said in her best teacher’s voice.
“I’m not doing anything that half the guys on the floor aren’t doing.” He flashed a lethal smile that made her nearly swallow her tongue.
Shannon looked around. He was right. “Well, we all need a cool down.” She straightened her shoulders and arched to face him. “Isn’t it time to announce the Winter King and Queen? You ready to MC?”
Anything so he wasn’t touching her.
“Ready.” His cheeks rose in the proverbial cat swallowed the canary grin. She could almost see the yellow feather between his lips.
What was he up to?
Christmas Prom Rerun is available at AmazonUS for Kindle (also in KU!) and in Paperback, AmazonUK, AmazonCA, AmazonAU, GoodReads and BookBub
