Hourglass Exclusive - Cover Reveal Week!

I am so excited to be a part of Myra McEntire's cover reveal week for her debut novel, HOURGLASS!

I've read HOURGLASS, and I must say, in the wake of all the latest paranormal trends, Myra pulls a horse of a different color out of the hat. Mix humor, spunk, and Southern attitude with unexpected twists and turns, electric characters, and hot romance, and you've got a hit. I can't wait for you to get your hands on it!

So now, for all our loyal YABC readers, please enjoy this exclusive excerpt from HOURGLASS.

In today's excerpt, Emerson has an encounter in the kitchen with Kaleb ... who might prove to be a wee bit troublesome ...



      I walked in without knocking. The screen door banged to a close behind me, announcing my presence. I followed my nose to the kitchen and found Kaleb standing by the stove. He stirred something that smelled absolutely delicious, a wooden spoon in one hand and a huge chef’s knife in the other.
      “Are you sober?” I asked from the doorway.
      He turned and leveled a smile at me that made me a little wobbly. “I am.”
      “Good. Because if not, I was going to take the deadly kitchen utensil away from you.” I crossed the room and pulled myself up to sit on the counter beside the stove. A cutting board full of green peppers and two uncut stalks of celery waited for attention from the knife. Melted butter and diced onions bubbled in a sauté pan on the stove. “You cook?”
      Kaleb was so pretty I was jealous. Pretty, with ripped muscles and a tattoo of a red dragon covering most of his upper body. “Yes,” he said. “I cook.”
      “Do you usually wear a wife beater and,” I pushed him back a little by his shoulder, “an apron that says ‘Kiss the Cook’ while you’re doing it?”
      He leaned so close to me my heart skipped a couple of beats. “I’ll wear it all the time if you’ll consider it.”



You need a "Kiss the Cook" apron now, don't you? Well, good thing we're giving one away, just like the one below.

  8. Consider me teased! Argh! ALso, I am SO distracted by science projects and too much snow that I think I entered the draw when I really meant to comment and only realized when I never got a box to write anything in. I need an apron that says "Kiss the Doofus."
