"Oceans Away" - contemporary romance by Skye McNeil. Blurb and Excerpt



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.

When a fun-loving American nanny turns a millionaire British single dad’s world upside down, it’s inevitable life is going to get complicated.

Taking a break from screenwriting in New York City, Londyn Bellerose takes a nannying job in Colorado to get away from the hubbub. A summer to live without regrets is all she wants. While her boss is British, gorgeous, and a millionaire, he has no clue how to have fun. Determined to mend the relationship between father and daughters, Londyn doesn’t expect to fall for the museum curator.

Londyn is American and everything Callum Archer swore to never fall for again. With her carefree spirit and energetic smile, she’s perfect to nanny Callum’s two daughters. The problem is she’s also perfect for him. She’s sassy, musical, and tends to speak her mind more than she means to.

When old history and new dreams threaten her happily ever after, will Londyn and Callum’s love survive?

Hearts Abroad is book one in Skye McNeil’s 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.



Hearts Abroad Excerpt Skye McNeil

An hour later, Londyn’s arms were full of goodies while she and Callum sat on the bench outside and watched the girls play on the monkey bars. Since the chocolatery had a daycare for their employees, it was second nature to have play equipment nearby, and it allowed the adults a hint of privacy.
            Unwrapping a caramel covered in dark chocolate, she moaned when it hit her taste buds. “This is so good.”
            “My, aren’t you a regular chocoholic,” Callum laughed, looking over at her.
            Londyn chewed, then nodded. “As it turns out, yes, I am.” She held up the bag stuffed with concoctions from the factory sample area. She couldn’t resist filling the tote. “And I’m loading up for a rainy day.” A drop of rain landed on her nose and she grinned. “Like today.”
            The mist didn’t seem to bother Bethany and Bailey as they hopped toward the swing set.
            Callum moved closer and peeked inside the bag. “I think you grabbed every sample they offered.” She nodded enthusiastically. “So, is chocolate your only vice, or are there more I should know about?”
            She liked this side of him. He wasn’t uptight or worried about appearances. His slight teasing and gentlemanly manners throughout the tour baffled her. I mean, what man holds my hand to make sure I get down the steps without tripping?
            “Mostly chocolate.” She held out a piece of nougat, but he declined. “I live by the three Cs.”
            Callum’s light eyebrows furrowed. “And they are?”
            She held up three fingers and ticked them off as she spoke. “Chocolate, Chinese food, and chick flicks.”
            “Ah yes, the trifecta,” he teased.
            “I’m serious.” She crumpled a wrapper and playfully tossed it at him. “If I ever come across a problem, I use the three Cs.”
            Laughing outright, Callum stole the tote and clucked his tongue at the numerous empty candies. “And what happens if they don’t do the trick?”
            “Hmm, well I don’t know. It’s never happened before.” She scratched her head. The mere thought disturbed her. Everything could be solved with either chocolate, Chinese, or chick flicks. She just knew it.
            He stood and offered his hand. “Perhaps you need to find a few more Cs, Miss Bellerose, for surely such a time will come.”
            Taking his hand, she stood to her full height, only a few inches shorter than him. She rather liked looking up to a guy for a change. When he didn’t immediately drop her hand, her heartbeat quickened. “Perhaps you’re right, Mr. Archer.”
