Blurb:
Adopted as an infant, Ireland Leighton grew up in the heart of the Midwest. After inheriting millions from her biological parents, she is determined to help others any way she can. The only string is a business engagement with another millionaire. Ireland returns to Iowa years later to plan her brother’s tropical wedding. The festivities would be easier if her sexy ex-boyfriend stayed out of reach and her future wasn’t already planned.
Time suppressed his feelings for the girl next door, but Gideon Taggart isn’t about to let Ireland escape again. Farmer by day, veterinarian by choice, his second chance with his first love is far from easy. He soon discovers that no matter how much he loves Ireland, she’ll always choose her family over a future with him.
Oceans Away is book two in Skye McNeil’s stand-alone contemporary romance series, Atlas. Each book contains a millionaire to envy, snort-worthy comedy, and visits to many beautiful cities in the world. Yes, all of that, plus each novel ends with a fabulous HEA.
Oceans Away Excerpt, Skye McNeil
“So, who’s this Toby guy again?”
Gideon interrupted, still standing next to her.
“He’s my personal assistant.”
Gideon crossed his arms over his
chest. “Mmhmm, and what exactly does he assist you with?”
Ireland held in a smug grin. He
looked too cute with his eyes narrowed. “Aw, is somebody jealous?”
He straightened. “No.”
Teasing him was much too easy.
“That’s too bad.” She fanned herself dramatically. “He’s just my type too.”
“So am I.”
Ireland laughed and cocked her head
to the right. “Who says you’re my type? Just because we dated doesn’t mean
you’re my type anymore.”
Gideon stepped closer and he
lowered his voice. “If your reaction from the kiss the other day—”
“It was just a kiss.”
He didn’t budge, but his eyes
showed her statement wounded him. “Then do it again.”
“Wh-what?”
“Kiss me again,” he dared.
Ireland’s stance wobbled. “Why
would I do that?”
Gideon smirked, the act sexier than
any other she’d seen on him before. “To prove you like kissing me. Oh, and that
I’m still your type, whether or not you want to admit it.”
Ireland stared into his eyes,
digesting his words at the terrifying truth. She had liked kissing him
the other day. She’d always liked kissing him. Locking lips with Gideon wasn’t
a problem. Falling for him was. She couldn’t afford to do it again, no matter
how badly she wanted to.
He leaned toward her, but only to
grab a napkin from the table before the breeze threw it to the grass. She heard
her sharp intake of breath and realized she’d hoped he was leaning in to brush
his lips to hers.
Gideon chuckled and winked. “Don’t
fight it, darlin’,” he said, then took a seat next to Zavier.
