About THE REBOUND PACT
The Rebound Pact is “An
intoxicating blend of wine, food and smoldering sex!” ~Christi Barth, acclaimed
author of Planning for Love.
Description
Just one
taste is never enough...
The attraction between Gabrielle and
Holden still sizzles on the surface even after all these years since their last
encounter. Having just experienced serious relationship breakups neither one is
ready to start again. Instead, they make a rebound pact. Casual sex, no strings
attached—and rule #1? Don't fall in love. Problem is, with each scorching
encounter, Gabrielle and Holden find themselves falling hard and fast.
After college, Gabrielle Dane makes
one terrific mistake. Thinking she's sneaking into her crush's bedroom at an
all-night party, she ends up sleeping with her older brother's best friend.
It’s only when the sun comes up that she recognizes Holden Bellamy. Mortified,
Gabrielle leaves to train with a renowned chef in France, vowing never to
return to her hometown and the awkwardness of her one night stand mix-up. But
several years later, she finds herself doing just that, and she runs smack into
the delicious man who makes her catch her breath.
Holden Bellamy, owner of Belle Ami,
a critically acclaimed vineyard, has always had a thing for his best friend's
little sister...even if she was off limits. Waking up to her in the morning
several years back was a remarkable surprise, one that crashed and burned when
she left town without a word. Now he's face to face with the woman he never
stopped wondering about.
A Sneak Peek at THE REBOUND PACT
As she neared the exit, a
sign caught her eye with a picture of purple grapes inside a wine glass, below
it said: Belle Ami Vineyards.
“Perfect,” she muttered.
A stop at the vineyard to
purchase a couple bottles of wine and then she’d head to her Dad’s place. She
wasn’t ready for the conversation he’d want to have regarding Len. She stared at
her empty ring finger on the steering wheel, tears already stinging her eyes.
Her finger still showed the lines of where her ring had been.
Gabrielle followed the
signs for the vineyard, pulling into a nearly empty parking lot, her tires
crunching over the gravel. There were only three other cars parked.
Damn. She hoped they hadn’t
closed already. She’d forgotten how everything in the town of Mount Airy kept
farmer’s hours. She climbed out of the
car and walked toward the entrance. The door opened easily when she pulled, but
she didn’t see anyone. She walked up to the bar and picked up the tasting menu.
Gabrielle loved wine. Had
even volunteered at many a wine tasting event, pouring glasses, talking shop to
wine enthusiasts, and even turning some non-winos into vino connoisseurs.
The Belle Ami merlot
looked right up her alley with a tangy bouquet of pomegranate and cocoa. She
turned in a circle, her fingernails tapping against the “green” pressed bamboo
counter.
“Can I help you?” a
smooth, sensual, very male voice said from behind.
Oh.
My. God.
Gabrielle turned around
slowly, unable to breathe. She came face to face with Holden Bellamy. His face
itself was perfection in the flesh. Chiseled. A wide square jaw, cheek bones
she’d kill for, kissable lips and a nose that spoke of good genes. Dark brown,
nearly black hair cut short enough to be in style, but still rugged, a few
strands falling over his forehead. Her entire body stilled as she gazed at him,
wide-eyed.
He was just as alluring,
if not more so than he’d been before.
A jolt of longing wracked
her. Her belly fluttered. Goosebumps rose along her arms making her skin
tingle. Memories came flooding back of their one night together. Her body
hadn’t forgotten, even with the passing of time, and neither had her mind. But
with those memories and the pull of her attraction came regret. For what she’d
thrown away. For the hurt she’d caused him. For not telling him the truth.
He wore a tight black
t-shirt with the winery’s logo on his right pec. His jeans looked to be designer and if he turned around… She
gulped, gazing at his flawless physique and then back up into his crystal blue
eyes that seemed to delve right into the center of her soul. A light bulb
sparked inside her mind. Bellamy… Was
it possible this was his winery? A
play on words?
“Gabrielle?”
He remembered her. Her
stomach tightened. Of course he remembered her. She’d known him for years. Her
body trilled a tune, as if her flesh remembered the way he’d touched her. He
flashed her a smile, showing white, faintly imperfect teeth. Teeth that had
skimmed naughtily over her flesh.
“Yes, hi, it’s been so
long…” She trailed off, feeling awkward at showing up here six years after
walking out on him.

Great blog. Now I have to read your stuff Eliza. Sigh. I need to hit the lottery to afford all the books in my TBR pile.
That's a definite problem for readers, Kat. So many books and never enough money. :)
Thanks, Eliza, for stopping by on your Blog Tour for The Rebound.
Nice! And I like the sound of the merlot too :)
