Hamilton Stables #3
Melissa West
Released May 10th, 2016
Lyrical Shine
The
Hamilton brothers have horse racing in their blood, and their sprawling
Kentucky farm is the family’s pride and joy. But they’ve got plenty of passion
to spare…
Nick Hamilton has always known he’d
take the reins of the family business when his father died, but that doesn’t
make it any easier when the time comes. Especially with his two siblings
tempted by a shrewd offer from a huge corporation to buy Hamilton Industries.
Needing advice, Nick turns to his sensible childhood friend, Becca Stark—and
finds her suddenly grown-up beauty ignites brand-new confusion, and crystal
clear desire…
Becca has loved Nick for as far back
as she can remember, but she decided long ago that telling him would be a
mistake. Stubborn, strong Nick doesn’t see her as anything but the tomboy she
used to be—or does he? As she helps him untangle his feelings about the ranch’s
future, the familiar bond between them heats into an explosive attraction—and
the kind of love that just might take the lead…

Becca closed the freezer and then,
missing its wonder, she fanned herself with her tank top. “It’s time I
reconsider a move up north, but then snow and driving in snow.”
“Yeah, that’d be pretty dangerous with
your track record.”
She continued to fan herself. “What?
It was one mailbox, not the whole street.”
“Two mailboxes.”
“All right, fine. Two. But I bought
them replacements.” She grabbed a flyer from her stack of mail, folded it in
half, and used it as a makeshift fan. “Ahhh.”
“What are you, menopausal or
something?”
She pointed at him. “Watch your mouth,
boy.” He laughed, the sound so glorious she almost closed her eyes again so she
could bask in it, but then that would be all sorts of awkward, and Becca tried
to maintain her cool around her best friend. Even if right now she was anything
but cool in every sense of the word.
“Now spill it.”
Becca pulled out a bottle of water and
leaned a hip against the counter.
“You could at least drink with me.”
“It's five thirty. I like to keep my
alcoholic tendencies for nighttime hours.”
“It's P.M. That stands for nighttime.”
“Wow. Is that what that Ivy League
education of yours taught you? 'Cause you might want to ask for a refund. At
least a partial, right? Because night starts with an N, not a P, and time
starts with a T, not an M. And, in fact, P.M. stands for post
meridiem, so you can send me that money they give you for the refund.”
“All right.” Nick pulled out his
wallet, counted out several bills, and tossed them onto the counter. “Now go
turn on the damn A/C. It's hot in here.”
With a loud, long, and drawn-out sigh,
Becca pushed the money back toward him. “You know I'm not taking that.”
“Well, I'm not taking it back, so take
it or burn it.” He shrugged. “It's nothing to me.”
“See that right there? That's why you
can't get a solid date. No girl wants a guy who burns money. I mean seriously.
Not only is that six shades of insane, but hello, fire hazard, right?”
He cracked a smile and she grinned
back, lost in those amazing blue eyes, crystal clear even through his glasses.
Years and years around him and she still couldn't pinpoint the exact shade.
They were sky blue with flecks of navy and turquoise. They were perfect...he
was perfect.
And now she'd drifted into lala land
again.
