Thank you for hopping by! Here’s a wonderful book by a new author, Jennifer Comeaux.<\/p>\n

Blurb:<\/p>\n

Nineteen-year-old Emily is new to pairs skating, but she and her partner Chris have a big dream\u2013
to be the first American team to win Olympic gold. Their young coach Sergei, who left Russia
after a mysterious end to his skating career, believes they can break through and make history.<\/p>\n

Emily and Chris are on track to be top contenders at the 2002 Winter Games. But when
forbidden feelings spark between Emily and Sergei, broken trust and an unexpected enemy
threaten to derail Emily\u2019s dreams of gold.<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/p>\n

The wind picked up, rustling the trees and sending my empty cup skittering over the
table. Sergei snatched it and noticed the time on his watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, wow, it\u2019s two thirty. I\u2019m sorry, I didn\u2019t mean to stay this late.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo worries. I can sleep till noon tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

He rose from his chair, stretching his arms. \u201cDo you think they all killed each other
downstairs?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy guess is they played so hard they passed out at some point. That\u2019s been known to
happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

I got up and smoothed my skirt. I\u2019d kicked off my sandals hours ago, and the weathered
wood of the patio was cool under my bare feet.<\/p>\n

Sergei took a step toward me. \u201cThanks again for the great meal. And the even better
company.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re very welcome. I\u2019m so glad you came.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stood on tippy-toes to give him a quick hug, but Sergei\u2019s strong arms held me against
him, enveloping my small frame. His body exuded warmth. I closed my eyes and breathed in
the woody scent of his cologne. We\u2019d shared plenty of hugs at competitions, but this felt so
different, like we belonged nowhere else but in this embrace.<\/p>\n

After what seemed like both an eternity and a split second, Sergei pulled away, his hands
brushing down my back. He glanced downward and gestured to the door.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can let myself out.\u201d<\/p>\n

My head bobbed weakly. \u201cOkay. I\u2019ll see you Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSee you.\u201d He held my gaze a moment longer than necessary. Then he was gone.<\/p>\n

I stood paralyzed, listening to the blood pulse in my ears. My heart beat so fast I thought
it might pound out of my chest. I couldn\u2019t have imagined the electricity I\u2019d felt in Sergei\u2019s arms.
It was too real. And I had no idea how I could ever forget it.<\/p>\n
