The Fixer-Uppers
By Cynthianna
Contemporary romance from Devine Destinies Books
Can a single mom find happiness on a blind date--or at least
dinner with a male who can cut up his own food? Cassie and Mike believe they're
"in like" not "in love." But when down-on-his-luck Mike is
evicted, Cassie takes him into her home. Mike starts fixing everything from
window screens to little boys' broken hearts. Will Cassie let him fix hers?
Excerpt: Mike helps Cassie deal with her frustrations concerning
her ex by teaching her how to throw darts.
He smells of paint and newsprint--and male. Cassie closed
her eyes. She could feel the overpowering warmth and strength of Mike’s muscles
through the thin fabric of his shirt as she stood entranced next to him. What
if she turned around this instant and pulled him into her arms instead?
Her sluggish mind was wandering she realized. She blinked
and shook her head to clear the cobwebs.
“Oh...kay. I’m ready.”
“Then let ‘er rip.”
The dart hit the imprint of Mike’s pinkie.
He grinned. “Not bad. Now give Jack a stab right in the
heart. Aim for the middle.”
Cassie screwed both eyes shut and sent the dart flying with
a passionate fling. A loud thump broke the silence.
“Oh, no.. can I open my eyes now? Did I break something?”
Mike let out a long whistle. “Look what you did.”
She cautiously opened one eye. The dart had hit dead center.
“Yippee!” Cassie jumped up and down. She gave Mike an
impulsive bear hug, almost knocking the breath out of him. “Let’s do it again!”
Mike’s gaze fixed on her mouth. “Yes, let’s do--"”
