Heaven On Earth
by Lori Avocato
To Purchase
She needed the solitude of the ocean to think, the warmth of the sun to
soothe her confusion, and the speed of pushing a motorboat to its limit
to face the toughest decision of her life. Captain Maddy Harrington
needed peace of mind to decide if she should continue her lifelong dream
of being an Air Force officer. But what she got was a man washed up on
shore. A man — a gorgeous man — who didn’t even know his name but
thought he’d found HEAVEN ON EARTH. Will Maddy ever find that solitude,
or will it even matter once her heart, her feelings for him, get
involved?
Excerpt:
He felt lips on his--soft, warm lips--and tasted something. Chocolate?
Yeah, and mint. He needed to see where he was, so he blinked. But his
eyelids--too tired to open--fought him. A forced sigh filled his lungs
and, determined, he blinked again. After several tries, the blurring
cleared to reveal dark violet irises a few inches from his face, looking
toward him. His eyelids cooperated and opened. He'd never seen anyone
with violet eyes before, except in the movie Cleopatra. Blond hair with
golden streaks, darkened as if wet, fell over one eye as a woman hovered
over him.
"Damn," he mumbled.
He blinked a few more times to see her staring at him, her face like an
angel's--a beautiful angel--only a few inches away. So this must be
Heaven, he thought. A peaceful feeling swept throughout him, but he
didn't remember seeing any ray of bright light like people who were
supposedly brought back from the dead talked about. But yellow beams of
sunlight glared into his eyes, causing the angel to silhouette against
the azure sky. He smiled to himself, enjoying the serene moment. Nothing
to fear about dying; no, it was painless and tranquil. Dying was
peaceful--but tiring. Hell, with angels like her, this was going to be a
great place. When his eyes opened fully, he saw her clearly. "Is this
Heaven?" he asked.
"Thank God you're alive." The angel glared for a second to be sure. "No...no, this isn't Heaven..."
"Damn, I thought I led a pretty good life. You mean--I'm in...Hell?" A pain shot through his temple as he tried to smile.
