Hi awesome reader,
Great to see you here! Right now, I’m sharing a little about the hero in Forever in a Kiss (Kissed by the Bay series, 7), which releases this April.
Alex Murphy is a hot scientist, who makes Claire laugh, even though he’s the best man at her client’s wedding and he’s doing everything in his power to stop the wedding from happening. Yikes!
Wedding dress designer Claire Davenport never forgot about her first kiss with geeky Alex Murphy during a game of Spin the Bottle, so when Alex tries to stop her client’s wedding she’ll do whatever it takes to convince him true love is real.
Here’s a sneak peek at Forever in a Kiss:

“You’re saying your interest in Missy’s wedding has nothing to do with helping your dress design business? You expect me to buy that, Claire?” Alex asked.
“How dare you,” I said, wondering how he knew my motivations.
He squinted, narrowing his gaze at me. I tried not to look away from him, since he might take that as a sign I wasn’t telling the whole truth.
“Your interest in the wedding has nothing to do with Missy’s half a million social media followers, who would want whatever wedding dress Missy wears?”
I shook my head, feeling guilty. “I just want to see her happy and in love.”
“Hadn’t even crossed your mind how much exposure the dress would get?”
I swallowed. “Nope.”
“Not even the tiniest thought as to how your business might expand?”
“No . . .” My confidence was waning under his unrelenting smirk and those eyes that seemed to peer straight into my soul.
He leaned closer. “This wedding is all about your faith in love?”
I nodded. Gulp.
“All about exchanging rings, eternal promises, and flying doves during a beach sunset?”
“That’s right,” I said, knowing I was lying. At this point, I even knew that he knew I was lying. But I wasn’t going to verbally confirm it to him.
“I don’t believe you,” he said, the corner of his mouth curving upward in a knowing way that made me shiver.
Then his mouth stretched into a smile as if he knew the physical effect he was having on me, while I stood there wishing I’d never kissed Alex during that game of Spin the Bottle. “I’ll see you later, Claire,” he said.
I gawked after him. “That’s all you have to say?”
“No.” He had turned to leave, but stopped and glanced back at me over his shoulder. “It’s been too long since seventh grade. I’d almost forgotten how cute you are when you’re lying.”
I hope you enjoyed this little peek at the hero, Alex Murphy, from Forever in a Kiss, which is available for pre-order on Apple Books and Amazon. Happy reading!!
