Contemporary Sweet Romance for All Ages
BY HEART AND COMPASS
Excerpt:
Sitting outside, one of the divers looked busy replacing the o-ring on a scuba tank. “I’m looking for Max?”
The long haired employee didn’t bother to stand, much less look up.
“So?”
“I’m Lacey Whitman, and I’m looking for the Max that owns the museum.”
“You call that worthless shack a museum?”
Dumbfounded, Lacey couldn’t think of any reply.
“What do you want?”
“I’m looking for Max,” she repeated, feeling a flash of impatience. “I have some papers for him.”
“Warrant, restraining order, or paternity test?”
After a pause in which she realized he was serious, she replied in frustration, “I have some research for the Bertrand family and someone at the museum told me to come down here.”
Lacey caught herself biting her lip.
Finally, the man of absolutely no assistance put down the tank and stood up. Short and compact, he had amazing turquoise eyes that glowed from a dark, tanned complexion. Loose strands of sun-kissed brown hair blew about his face in the breeze.
“Max doesn’t need any more paperwork. He doesn’t want to see your research, and he is not giving dive lessons.”
“I didn’t ask for a dive lesson.”
The diver sat back down again, crossing thick tattooed arms over himself. They stared one another down until he won. It was cheating to look her over as if she was a sweet little morsel, but it worked.
“I just want to talk to Max,” she demanded.
He stared back with no expression. “You just did. Now get off my beach.”
Lacey’s cheeks were already flushed from getting the once over by this beach bum. His insult made her red all over.
“I’ll be sure to let them know at the Bertrand Museum,” she threatened, as if it mattered.
She turned on her heel and stalked off but he called after her, “Lady, I am the Bertrand Museum!”

Like a spooky tale? Young Adult paranormal DEATH CHEATER is now available at Amazon.com and other online bookstores. Here’s a little taste:
Athena Gray lives vicariously through her sister because people in general avoid her. Whether it’s strange things like dead butterflies fluttering to life, or the time she saved her dying grandpa just by willing him to live, Athena knows that she is different. The only person who doesn’t seem to think so is Dan, the most popular boy on Omega High School’s baseball team.
