I'm so delighted to be joined by V.L. Locey with her new release Twirly Girl Venom Series #2
by V.L. Locey
M/F Erotic
Hockey Romance
Blurb:
Born
into a prestigious and powerful political family, Venom captain Alicia Avery
learned at a young age that appearances were everything. Alicia has now been
molded into the perfect young woman; her only transgressions against the
dictates of her parents to date are her dogged determination to play hockey and
a rather radical new haircut. That was before Alicia met Dale Christie, a
highly principled and deeply spiritual street performer who is raising his
daughter, Wren Song, alone.
Now
Alicia is finally opening her mind and heart to the knowledge that there is
more to life than monetary success and ambitious goals. As her soul awakens, so
does her desire for the man her parents - and society - would deem horrendously
wrong for her. Can the Venom captain learn to walk a new path of serenity
through life? Or will the pacifist and the hockey player be torn apart by a
world that judges a person by the size of their bank account versus the largesse of their soul?
"May you
walk a blessed path," he called to the crowd then lifted his guitar over
his head. "Mine will be a sunny one despite the clouds above, for this
winsome lass has gifted me with her presence for the day." Everyone looked
at me. I wanted to slide into the storm drain. Several people made vague
comments. I nodded at them as my cheeks burned. When the crowd had dispersed, I
folded my arms over my chest. Dale, the peaceful fool, merely smiled at my show
of anger. "Are you mad that I told those fine people that you were
spending the day with me?" "No,"
I said a bit too quickly. "I mean, of course not. It's just, well, okay
yes, maybe I was a little worried. If anyone recognized me, word would get back
to my father." God, I sounded like such a stupid little girl. "Not
that I care what he thinks about what I do."
"What are
we doing that would be so terrible for your father to hear?" he asked
before crouching down to gather his donations then lay his six-string in the
case. I stared at the top of his head while trying to come up with a reply. He
glanced up while snapping the case shut. "The hardest part of the journey
is that first step onto your own path."
"I'm on my own path," I informed
him. A newspaper truck stalled on the road. With a curse from the driver and a
loud backfire, the vehicle then moved along. My gaze raced over the hundreds of
cars creeping past. "I play hockey for a living, don`t I?"
"That you
do," he said as rose from his crouch.
"Then you
can`t tell me that my foot isn`t on my own path."
"So it is.
Shall we get walking? We need to make the train station in fifteen
minutes." "You don`t
believe me," I said as we headed off at a brisk pace.
"Is what I
believe or don`t believe that important?" he inquired. We hustled across
the street amid a crush of people. It was only after we had crossed that we
could talk to each other once again.
"No, it`s
not important what you or anyone thinks." There. Put that in your chakra
pipe and smoke it, Mr. Know-It-All. I peeked over at him. He wore a bemused
smile. It was quite a kissable smile on that sensual mouth.
"Why do
you think I'm lying? I don`t give two shits what people think. I might just
kiss you right here in front of the Philadelphia Inquisitor building to show
you how many shits I do not give." Dale stopped cold, glanced skyward at
the glittering mirrored building that held Philly`s largest daily paper, and
then looked at me.
"Alicia, you don`t have to prove anything
to me," he said then shook some brown curls from his face. "Kiss me
if you want to feel my mouth on yours. Don`t kiss me to make a point."
I stepped
closer. His dark eyes narrowed just a bit. My gaze darted down to his mouth
then back to his eyes. A wild November wind whistled around the newspaper
building. It ripped at his ugly scarf. I grabbed the fluttering scarf and
pulled him that single step closer so our mouths would meld.
