I was tagged by Jodi Linton to join the Meet the Character Blog Hop. Jodi is the author of the Deputy Laney Briggs series. Jump back to her site to meet her red hot cowboy Gunner.
My character comes from a novella I co-wrote with Susan Scott Shelley “Tackled by the Girl Next Door.” Susan wrote all about our heroine on her blog, so if you want to know more about Samantha O’Brien, check out her post. http://www.susanscottshelley.com/#!Meet-My-Character-Samantha-OBrien-from-Tackled-By-the-Girl-Next-Door-Part-1/ct9f/760C57F4-FBBF-4D83-BD7E-048BDD0CEBE6
I’m introducing Jason Black, our hero. He’s a former pro-football player who came back to his hometown for a few months to figure out his future. In Sam’s words, he’s “six feet four inches of chiseled perfection.”
Jason sees Sam as a good friend, the person he can relax around and be himself. Sam, however, has started seeing him in a whole new light. “They’d shared countless meals over the years. Everything felt nice and easy with him by her side, but she wanted more. Friendship with Jason was wonderful, but the sparks that flew whenever he touched her hinted at something explosive and amazing. More than anything, she wanted fireworks.”
Sam never makes a move toward Jason and their relationship remains neutral until he opens his eyes…
“The treadmill hummed in the background. When Sam started running, her feet created a drumbeat rhythm. He turned up the volume to drown out the sound. A few minutes later, he glanced back at Sam to ask if she wanted some water from the kitchen. His eyes froze on the image behind him. Someone had stolen Sam and replaced her with a knockout in black Lycra shorts, sporting rock solid abs and breasts attempting to escape the skimpy jog bra. Where did those breasts come from? Sam didn’t have breasts, did she? She’d always dressed in baggy sweatshirts, sweaters, or those hideous boxy suits she wore to work.
When she smiled at him, he noticed a dot of chocolate he’d missed at the corner of her mouth. Damn, he was hungry. Heat shot straight to his groin, creating an unwelcome inferno.”
Once their attraction breaks into the open, their previous comfortable existence becomes twisted up. Can they return to the comfortable friendship they enjoyed? Do they want to?
