Rum and Raindrops: A Blueberry Springs Chick Lit Contemporary Romance
Page 22
“I think if we keep this up, we might start a fire with all this heat.”
He slid his warm hands up her bare sides, crawling above her, making her body shiver with anticipation.
“I was right,” he said. “I do prefer you in your underwear. But it would be even better without them.”
He traced her lips with a finger, sending chills down her spine. With a contented sigh, she pulled him against her. He kissed her slowly, causing everything to slip from her mind. Breath husky with emotion, she said the words that had been echoing in her heart for weeks. “I love you, Rob.”
“I love you, too, Jen.”
“You’re like a rain shower. Not only do you smell good, you refresh everything around you and bring the promise of a new start.”
“As long as that fresh start is with you, here in Blueberry Springs, count me in.”
He lowered her lips to hers as she said, “I’m going to hold you to that.”

LOVE AND RUMORS
(Book 1)
One photographer who needs money—fast. One movie star with an offer as tempting as his bad boy smile.
Hailey Summer, a photographer who has remortgaged her entire life in order to follow her dreams, needs more time. As the eldest of four girls, her self-appointed job has always been to solve everyone’s problems—including holding onto the family’s historic cottage that’s precious to all of them. But with the cottage about to be seized for back taxes, Hailey’s going to have to confront more than just the family members she’s kept in the dark.
When Finian Alexander closes his eyes he sees is his family’s destitute past and the unfulfilled promises he’s made to others. Only a fraction away from making the A-list food chain and fulfilling his promises, Finian needs help from the paparazzi to push his next ‘bad boy of Hollywood’ escapade into the limelight. Problem is he’s in the Canadian Muskokas and the only photographer he’d consider partnering with slaps him every time he deserves it—which is increasingly often as he becomes more desperate.
Will Hailey and Finian give in to the easy way out of their problems, or will discover how alike they truly are when they hit the tabloids—together?

I held a ‘name Jen’s drink’ contest on my Facebook page before the publication of this book and there were two winners in that contest. Fellow author TJ Loveless who came up with the simple but yummy rum drink, Cuba Libre, and Claire Jenni Alexander for coming up with the girly drink I had always wanted to give Jen but didn’t know how to create—the hurricane. Thank you, girls. Cheers!

Jean Oram grew up in an old schoolhouse on the Canadian prairie. She didn't realize she wanted to write until one day she sat down, giggling, and declared, "I'm going to write a novel!" And she did. But this isn't it. That one was kind of a disaster because she didn't even know how long a novel should be, but she learned a lot and had fun. You can learn more about Jean and her hobbies—besides writing and chasing her two kids and several pets around the house and the great outdoors—on her website: www.jeanoram.com.
