Guest Author and Excerpt (+ a Giveaway!): HelenKay Dimon – Lean on Me

Hi everyone! Thank you for having me here today to talk about LEAN ON ME, my newest release. The books centers on Mitch and Cassidy. They knew each other in high school. To him, she was a distraction and his reaction was that of any horny teenaged boy. To her, he was a football player who was a year behind her. In other words, he was barely on her radar in school. To be fair, she was more focused on starting a high-altitude mountain career. Having a high school fling didn’t exactly work into her plans.

But those old perceptions get in their way when Cassidy returns to town and runs into Mitch that first time after years have passed:

“Cassidy?”
She turned, ready to bat away any flying tomatoes that might come flying her way, and stared into a dark gray T-shirt straining against a firm, broad chest. Her gaze wandered up and over an open plaid shirt and a set of impressive shoulders underneath. Then she got to the face and the smile with the sexy cheek dimple.
Sweet Lord.
This guy could throw anything at her and she’d be fine so long as she got to stare at him for a few more seconds. Maybe run her fingers over the dark stubble on his chin and cheeks. He had a five-o’clock shadow at two in the afternoon, and, boy, wasn’t that the sexiest thing ever.
Nice to know her girl parts still worked fine even on an unwanted limited-calorie diet. “Yes, may I help you with something?”
“When did you get back into town?”
Figured he’d have one of those deep, husky voices that vibrated right down to her…yeah, she wasn’t letting her mind wander there. “Yesterday.”
He put his hands on his lean hips. “Are you staying at the house?”
Something thunked in her brain.
His eyebrow lifted. “Cassidy?”
“I’m sorry.” Boy, was she sorry. “But do we know each other?”
“We dated in high school.”
This time her brain clicked off. When it flickered back to life an error message flashed. “What are you talking about?”
“Well, we would have if you had shown up as promised.”
She could see every person in the room lean in closer. Even the soft music pumping through the speakers faded into the background. “Uh…”
His smile grew wider. “You don’t remember?”
Because it never happened.

Poor Mitch. Actually, don’t worry about Mitch. He quickly reminds her exactly who he is…and then tries to win her over.
