It’s
a new month! Time to pull out your Calendar Men calendars. While you’re doing
that, I’ll give you some background on how they came into existence…
Leonidas
Russo is a former US Marine-turned-fashion model. He uses his connections in
the fashion world to put a call out for models to be featured in a charity
calendar he's put together to honor the memory of his brother, an Army soldier
who died in the Afghan war. Proceeds for the calendar in the stories will
benefit The Fallen Warriors Family Fund, a charity that gives scholarships and
assistance to the families left behind.
All
together now, flip the calendar page up and gaze in adoration and unabashed
lust at the ripped physique and chiseled face of Mr. September. This is his story…
Gretchen Meyers is a full-figured woman living in a model
thin world. Desperate to end her mother's constant, nagging stream of dieting
and fashion “advice,” Gretchen tackles the challenge of reviving her mother’s
faltering modeling agency. All she needs is to woo back Kyle Ramsey, once the
hottest model in the country.
Making the preemptive choice to turn his back on his career
seemed Kyle’s only option until Gretchen comes calling. He doesn’t care what
she wants to offer him, the answer is no. Still, he’s intrigued by her
refreshing personality and all her lovely, lush curves.
When tragedy strikes, Kyle finds comfort and healing in
Gretchen’s arms. But he can’t trust her with his career-ending secret and she
doesn’t believe their relationship will survive the long term. He’s perfect and
she’s not even close. Can the fragile ties holding them together survive Kyle’s
opportunity to become a true model hero?
Excerpt:
The
restaurant scene, then, had done its job. Gretchen would have to send Jamie
flowers. No, she’d send a box of fattening chocolates instead. “Did you enjoy
your evening after I left?”
Kyle’s
gaze narrowed, he pushed himself out of the chair. “Did you arrange with Jamie
to drop by our table?”
“How
could I, when I had no idea where we were going for dinner until we were
there?” Not to mention, she’d have preferred to sever essential body parts than
ask Jamie Feldman for anything. But her irrational possessiveness was her own
problem. “The important thing is you had a good time, and you’re ready to make
up for everything you’ve been missing over the past year.”
“Those
things aren’t important at all.” He advanced on her slowly.
She
took a step back and came up against the door she’d closed a moment before.
Kyle
flashed a predatory smile. He took her purse and briefcase from her shoulder,
setting them aside. Then he rested his forearms on either side of her head and
stared into her eyes, his lips a scant inch from hers as he spoke. “I’m here
for you. Our date deserves another shot.”
Her
heart thundered. The thick eyelashes framing his gray-green eyes mesmerized
her. He stood too near for her to formulate a coherent response. This much
physical perfection and sex appeal should be outlawed. Her mind was not
equipped to handle it.
“What
do you say?” he asked.
Yes, take me. “I
say, why me?” Her voice rose with an embarrassing squeak as she struggled to
compose a rational argument and remind herself she was in her office, just feet
away from her employees who’d never seen her anything less than one hundred
percent professional. “I get why you went out with me on Saturday. You’d shut
yourself away from the world, and I was the first woman to find you. But you’ve
been reminded you can have Jamie or anyone else you crook your finger for. Why
do you still want me?”
His
gaze softened with a tenderness that pierced her heart. He brushed his thumb
along her cheek. “How could I not want you, Gretchen? You’re smart and funny
and beautiful and not afraid to let a guy who has no idea what you like order
for you on a first date.”
