Too True to be Good
by Mary E.
Thompson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Zach
Bennett was content to go to work, hang out with his family and friends, and
entertain a woman once in a while. As his family found love all around him, he
was content to stay single. Unattached. Happy.
Besides,
he had enough to worry about with a new chef breathing down his neck for his
job.
She faced
the truth every day…
Gianna
Brooks always wanted to work with people. She saw enough growing up to know
kids need all the help they can get. They deserved to be safe. Loved. Happy.
Which is
why she’s determined to get her new client into a forever home.
But the
truth isn’t always good…
The last
thing Zach needs is a little girl showing up on his doorstep claiming she’s
his. Her social worker hot on her heels, and demanding a place to stay,
definitely doesn’t make it any better. Especially with Gianna’s curvy body and
bedroom eyes, and his daughter’s sad sweetness, making him consider keeping
both of them.
Gianna
knows she should run. Zach knows he should send them away. But neither of them
can resist the pull toward the other.

EXCERPT
Zach pulled in a deep breath and sunk into the
couch. Summer was curled up next to him, her little knees digging into his hip.
He couldn’t believe it had only been a few days since she appeared. It was
starting to feel like she’d been there forever.
Gianna padded into the room. Her hair was tied up,
out of her face. He ached to tug it out of the ponytail it was in and run his
hands through it, but instead he just smiled.
“She’s asleep already?” Gianna asked with a laugh.
Zach nodded. “Yeah. She had a busy day.”
“Your family has been wonderful with her.”
Zach grinned. His mom took to Summer like she’d
always been a part of the family.
“They all love kids.”
“That’s obvious. Summer will be lucky to stay
here.”
The thought of Summer staying still scared him, but
he had to admit, he was getting used to it. She was a little presence in his
life that would keep him on his toes. He was starting to get a true picture of
who she was. He liked her. Maybe even loved her.
Was it possible?
Falling in love with a woman was impossible for
Zach to imagine, even when Gianna settled on his other side, smelling
irresistible from her shower. Lust, yeah. But love? Zach didn’t know love like
he felt for Summer before. He never wanted to let her go. He felt like everything
was right with her pressed against his side.
Then Gianna asked, “What are you going to do if
she’s not yours?”

AUTHOR Bio and
Links:
Mary
E. Thompson grew up loving to read, like a good little girl. Many nights she
would fall asleep with the flashlight still turned on as she hid under the
covers trying to finish the last few pages of a book. As an adult, the light
from her ereader means she doesn't need a flashlight, but she still stays up
way too late to finish a book.
When
Mary's not reading, she's playing with her two kids or living out her own real
life romance novel with her hubby. She has a weakness for chocolate, especially
when it's paired with peanut butter, and has been known to have a bad day just
because there's no chocolate in the house. Unless there’s wine. Then everything
is okay.
Mary
grew up in Buffalo, New York and swears she's the only local to never ski or
snowboard. Soccer was always her sport, with a couple adventures white water
rafting and skydiving to keep things interesting. Mary moved to South Carolina
for college but missed Buffalo every day. Yeah, she thinks she's crazy, too.
She somehow convinced her South Carolina born and bred hubby to return to
Buffalo to raise their kids and live out their lives. He’s still not sure what
he was thinking.
