Book Blurb
Alexia Sloane is the 26 year old owner
of the highly successful Louisiana coffee shop/bakery, Java and
Sweeties. The past couple of years have been all she’s dreamed of

one of the most famous rock bands in the country, Bayou Stix and the
man who broke Lexi’s heart.
Lexi and Jude have a past.
When Jude comes back to town 8 years
after leaving to fulfill his lifelong dream of being a famous
musician and comes face to face with Lexi, forces collide, old hurts
are brought to the surface, and life as these two have been living it
will never be the same.
There are 2 sides to every story, and
what happens when the things you believed to be concrete suddenly
crumble like ash and fade away?
Welcome to Louisiana where humidity and
passion are high and things are not always what they seem.

Excerpt:
My back is to the door. The shop is busy for a Wednesday night. Almost every couch and chair is filled and there’s a nice line of people at the counter waiting to order their coffee or pick up a sweet treat from our bakery display racks. John Mayer is playing over the speakers low enough not to bother anyone working, but loud enough that you can hear the music.
My back is to the door. The shop is busy for a Wednesday night. Almost every couch and chair is filled and there’s a nice line of people at the counter waiting to order their coffee or pick up a sweet treat from our bakery display racks. John Mayer is playing over the speakers low enough not to bother anyone working, but loud enough that you can hear the music.
Suddenly,
the hair on the back of my neck stands up as if I’ve just been shocked. Bradi
is facing the door and her eyes go wide. “Oh my god… Oh my god… OH MY GOD!”
I
slowly turn around, as if pulled by an imaginary cord, but I already know what
I’ll see. My mind sees everything as if in slow motion. My eyes travel the
length of a slim, but cut, 6’1 body, taking everything in, from the tips of his
black boots to the top of his spiked dirty blond purple tipped hair. I notice
all of the tattoos and the scruff that looks as if it’s a permanent part of a chiseled
face.
“Oh
FUCK ME!” I gasp out.
I
feel faint. My hands start to sweat, my stomach starts to clench, and my
panties start to moisten. It’s instinctual. My eyes move back down a smidge and
rest on the clear, hard, hazel eyes of the one and only Jude Delecroix, lead
singer of Bayou Stix, and he’s staring right back at me.
I unconsciously start to shake and forget that
I’m still holding onto Bradi. Only now I’m squeezing her as if she’s a
lifeline. I feel her move to where she’s looking into my face, but I can’t
move. I can’t speak. I cannot break the all consuming hold of the hazel eyes across the room. Those eyes
that still haunt my dreams… every night.
