A Wedding at Meadows Shore
by Eva Charles
Meadows
Shore is the childhood home of the five Clayton sisters and the six Harrington
brothers, the
After Sophie Clayton
catches her husband in bed with a young intern, she creates a new life for
herself as the executive director of a failing domestic violence agency. It’s
the perfect job for a woman born to fix everything. A friend’s broken heart, a
tattered agency, a flat tire—she’ll roll up her sleeves and make it as good as
new. Sophie rarely encounters anything she can’t fix…until she meets the
devastatingly handsome and insufferably arrogant, Max Parker. One of Boston’s
most eligible bachelors, he’s never without a stunning young woman on his arm
and in his bed.
When Sophie’s forced to
deal with Max, sparks fly, and somewhere in the crossfire of verbal daggers and
clever barbs, she discovers his darkest secret.

And now for an excerpt!!
His voice took on a husky, seductive quality. “The women I
date aren’t interested in my body, Sophie. What interests them is how I
pleasure their bodies.”
She stared deep into his icy blue eyes and snickered.
Max never missed even the smallest of details. They were
often the difference between success and getting your hat handed to you.
Tonight, he noticed Sophie’s eyes betray her, even as she mocked him. Her
pupils were dilated, the rich, whiskey-colored irises nearly overtaken by
black. I have her attention.
Embolden by her body’s reaction, he took a step closer. He
was so close that if she’d been breathing, her breath would’ve warmed his skin.
“I can bring much more to your bed than my father does. So…much…more…” He drew
out the words, emphasizing each in a voice that oozed sex. “And though I’m not
an easy man to impress, I’m sure you’d have no trouble persuading me to finance
your agency. None at all,” he drawled.
Neither of them spoke for a long moment, maybe two. The air
was charged. The silence dangled between them like a ripe peach, fragrant and
swollen, tempting the weakest among them to reach for it first.
“What do you think?” he asked softly, ending the silence.
While waiting for her response, a calculated kind of wait,
he resisted the urge to lift his hand and run his fingers through the strands
of hair that’d come loose, softly framing her face.
“I think you really are an ass.”
With that, she turned and walked away. Leaving him to gape
at her magnificent back.

About the Author:
Eva Charles is
the author of the multi-titled Meadows Shore Series that chronicles the lives
and loves of the Clayton-Harrington family. She invites you to visit their
beloved Meadows Shore nestled in the charming seaside town of Fair Harbor,
where you’ll enjoy love, laughter, loyalty, and an abundance of mouth-watering
food, Portuguese style.
After being a
confirmed city-girl for more than thirty-five years, Eva moved to beautiful
western Massachusetts in 2014. There, she found herself living in the woods
with no job, no friends (unless you count the turkeys, deer, and coyotes
roaming the backyard), and no children underfoot, wondering what on earth she’d
been thinking. But as it turned out, it was the perfect setting to take all
those yarns spinning in her head and weave them into a romantic tale.
When she’s not
writing, trying to squeeze information out of her tight-lipped sons, or playing
with the two cutest dogs you’ve ever seen, Eva’s creating chapters in her own
love story.
