She dares to dream...
Summer Montgomery wants to be taken seriously almost as
much as she wants her brother's best friend, Ethan. But with a long resume of
seemingly random career choices and a protective brother on watch, those things
are nothing more than pipe dreams...
Does he dare to try?
Ethan Reed would like nothing more than to live by his
own rules. Not wanting to disappoint his best friend Zach, or any of the
Montgomerys, Ethan's had to push his long-denied feelings for Summer aside. But
it only takes one night away from watchful eyes to make impossible dreams come
true...
Congratulations to Samantha Chase on her new release, Meant For You! To celebrate we're sharing an exclusive excerpt. Enjoy!
An Excerpt:
“I think I’m seriously out of shape.”
Ethan stroked a hand from Summer’s waist to her knee and
back again. “You don’t feel seriously out of shape.”
She laughed. “I can’t believe that kayaking kicked my
butt. I hurt all over.”
“Well to be fair, it was a pretty long trip. I wasn’t
expecting it to be that long of a route.”
“It was a really long route,” she agreed and placed a
kiss on his bare chest. “And yet Gabriella still managed to beat us both.”
“I don’t remember it that way,” Ethan said.
Pulling back, Summer smirked at him knowingly. “Such a
sore loser.”
“What? Me? How can I be a sore loser when we weren’t
really racing?”
“Oh? We weren’t racing?” She sat up and laughed out loud.
“Then what was all that ‘loser has to buy drinks back at the lodge’ comment and
then you buying drinks?” She continued to laugh before adding, “Hmm? Care to
explain?”
Ethan frowned and lay back against the pillows. “Sure,
try to be a gentleman and buy a couple of beautiful women some drinks and all
of a sudden it’s because I’m a sore loser. What is this world coming to?”
That just made Summer laugh even harder. Deciding to take
pity on him, she curled back up against his side. “Okay, okay, you’re a
gentleman, and it was only because you were being polite that both Gabriella
and I finished the route ahead of you.”
“Um…you and I got there at the same time. I just let you
get to the dock first because…”
“You were being a gentleman?”
“Exactly.”
She leaned in and kissed him on the lips. “Thank you.”
“I could have gotten there first,” he mumbled when she
rested her head on his shoulder.
“Oh my God! Are you going to be like this all night?” she
teased.
“That depends,” he said, rolling her over so that he was
stretched out on top of her.
“On what?” she asked as she shimmied beneath him to have
them perfectly lined up.
“On whether or not you can find something else for us to
do that doesn’t involve talking.” His voice was deep and husky, and Summer
shivered as he bent down and kissed her neck.
“I think what you’re doing right now will work,” she
whispered.
“And yet you’re still talking.”
Wrapping her arms around his shoulders, Summer pulled him
in close and found a way to keep them both quiet for a very long time.

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller/contemporary
romance writer Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan's Return, in
November 2011. Although she waited until she was in her 40's to publish for the
first time, writing has been a lifelong passion. Her motivation to take that
step was her students: teaching creative writing to elementary age students all
the way up through high school and encouraging those students to follow their
writing dreams gave Samantha the confidence to take that step as well.
When she's not working on a new story, she spends her time reading contemporary romances, playing way too many games of Scrabble or Solitaire on Facebook and spending time with her husband of 25 years and their two sons in North Carolina.
