Excerpt ~ Hooking Hannah by Cassandra Carr & Cindy Carr

Turning to face Scott, Hannah got her first good, full-on look at him and her stomach dropped a good foot. Oh, my God. He’s gorgeous. Those hockey helmets hid a lot of a guy’s face and she’d had no idea he was so striking.

There he stood, though, hotter than hell in a dark blue suit that probably cost more than her entire wardrobe, eyes sparkling at her as if she were a platter of steak and he was a starving man.

Hockey was Tammi’s world, what with having a hockey player for a husband and all. Hannah and hockey, though? Especially hockey men? Nada. Nothing. No way, Jose. That life was crazy and one she’d never envied Tammi for. Well, except for her unlimited clothing and latte budget. She looked down, planning a strategic exit, but Tammi’s arm swung around her shoulders.

Darren spoke, obviously addressing the two men. “We were thinking about going out for a drink. Obviously there’s nothing right around here, but we could go into the city. Maybe you can point us somewhere, Scott.”

“Sure.”

She looked up in time to see the evil grin spreading over her twin’s face. “That would be my husband’s obtuse way of inviting both of you along, in case you didn’t get that.”

Scott threw his head back and laughed. Wow. I didn’t think he could get hotter.

“I can’t,” Anton said. “Gotta get back to the wife. The baby’s not sleeping and so neither is she. I promised I’d stay up with the little bugger tonight.”

“I’ll tag along. After all, we’re not archenemies again until tomorrow.” Scott looked over at her as if to assess her reaction.

Now Tammi turned to her too. “See? Everyone’s going. Well, except Anton, but he’s got an excuse. Come on, Hannah. You never have fun anymore. Have drinks with us.”

Oh, thank you, Tammi, for telling this strange guy with his eyes glued to me like scent on a gardenia that I need to get out more. Thanks a bunch. To prove her twin wrong that she was boring, she flashed a brilliant smile and said, “Sure. Sounds like fun.”
