Anthony

Signature Sweethearts, Book Seven

I can’t believe that Anthony is the SEVENTH book in the Signature Sweethearts series. It seriously blows my mind a little bit, but I cannot wait for you to read his and Sway’s story. You’re going to love her! Here’s a little excerpt:

“Is that what we are? Friends?”

The surprise in his voice makes me pause, and my gaze bounces around his face in hopes of piecing together his thoughts. Unfortunately for me, he’s like a steel vault.

“What label would you use?”

Scratching his jaw, he weighs his options while I find myself waiting on pins and needles. “Friends, I guess.”

“Why do you sound so surprised?”

“I don’t really have friends,” he admits. “Damn, that sounds pathetic. I had coworkers. I had a girlfriend. And I had my parents. But friends? I didn’t have time for those before….” His voice trails off, leaving me hanging.

“Before what?” I inquire while continuing to assess him curiously.

“Before I lost everything.” He pauses then adds with a dry laugh, “Except my parents. They’re still around and as nosy as ever.”

Licking my lips, I let his words soak in before my two-cents slips past my lips. “No offense, but it sounds like you didn’t have much to lose in the first place. But I’m glad I can help you make a fresh start.” A light laugh escapes me when a thought hits me like a brick. “Man, Anthony. Are you sure you’re not a cat?”

He snorts. “Excuse me?”

“My entire job is giving them a fresh start,” I explain. “Plus, they’re kind of moody, have lost their homes, purr one minute then wanna bite your head off the next. Don’t tell me you don’t see the similarities.” I pop my hip out and place my hand on it before smirking at him. “At the very least, it’s your spirit animal. Come on, I’ve seen you with Jasper.”

“Jasper, as in the cat who is severely overweight and won’t let people touch him?”

I nod, trying to hide my grin. “Yup. Twins, I tell ya. Twins.”
