Ember’s Center
by Jillian Jacobs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
She
spent her life fighting for middle ground, and now that she’s found it, she’ll
fight for her life.
Ember
Brooks yearns for an end to the dark chapters of her life—abusive mother,
negligent father, teenage trauma, and sibling suicide. Determined to escape her
traumatic past, Ember is finally headed for solid ground, gathering strength
and balance with the help of her trusted counselor and friend, Xander Kane.
Still
reeling from the death of her brother, Ember finds solace when Manchester
Marauders center, Owen Killion goes on the offensive and barrels into her life.
Both on the football field and off, Owen is sure-footed and confident. With his
domineering presence and reliable nature, he alters her game-plan. But for a
girl continually left on the sidelines, can she leave her heart on the line?
When
Ember is the victim of increasingly dangerous incidents, and Xander changes the
course of their relationship, once more her life spirals out of control.
Ember
trusts Owen to guard their love, but when someone else is calling the shots,
can they reach the end zone or will they fumble?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT:
Not comfortable around men, especially huge, handsome ones
with square jaws sharp enough to cut ice, Ember calmed her breathing and tried
stilling her pounding heart. The Marauders’ center stood in her cube entry.
Her entry. Oh no! Where has my mind strayed?
Did he live up to the rumors? The “O” in Offensive-line
raised many a woman’s curiosity across social and traditional media platforms
since all the players were extraordinarily gorgeous. Not hard to imagine Owen’s
reputation for bedroom proclivity was very accurate since his shoes were so
big, which meant he was big everywhere. Ridiculous. She would not stare there.
Maintain eye contact. Keep it!

RispondiEliminaThanks for hosting Ember's Center today.
RispondiEliminaChecked out that website address for the pottery you posted yesterday. Beautiful stuff....I can understand your fascination. Enjoyed reading the excerpt today.
RispondiEliminaThanks, Karen. My mother is the one who found the beautiful pottery, and my ancestry on my father's side is Polish, so I suppose it's ingrained. I had been dying for miniature tea sets, and they finally got some in. I now have three.
EliminaI enjoyed reading the excerpt. Thanks!
