Excerpt of The Cottage on Pumpkin and Vine by Jennifer Dawson, Kate Angell, Sharla Lovelace

ENCHANTED BY YOU

Sidney walked around him, back to the truck, unfortunately losing
her balance as her heel caught on one of those cursed rocks.

“Oh, shi—” she exclaimed, the word clipped as her body slammed into
Sawyer’s and his arm caught her. Tightly. The side effect being
close enough to kiss him. If she wanted to. Which she didn’t. At
all. Even with his mouth right there.

“Sorry,” she said, as she laid her hands against his chest to push
back, and yet she didn’t push. And he didn’t let go.

God bless America, she couldn’t breathe. Everything in her wanted
to run her hands right on up to his neck, his face, his hair, and
wrap herself around this man with the hand burning a hole in her
lower back.

“Lets um—” she began, her gaze focused on his mouth solely because
his eyes would have done her in.

“Get to Crane’s,” he said, nodding slightly.

“Yeah,” she said, sliding her hands down his chest a little as he
let her go. As unfair as that may have been, his hands did a drive-
by down the side of her ass, leaving both of them a little unsteady.

“So,” he said.

“I’m gonna get—back in the truck,” she said, spurring her feet into
motion. “Shit!” she whispered as she got in and shut the door.
“Breathe. Grow up.”

His door opening made her gasp and cross her legs. Which showed
more thigh. So she put it back down and tugged her skirt down. In
doing that, she noticed a button undone on her blouse, giving a nice
little view. Jesus, she looked like she’d been making out in a back
seat. And looking to her left, she caught Sawyer watching the whole
show, a heat in his eyes that made the soles of her feet tingle.

“You done?” he asked.

Boy, was she. Done for.
