About Do Me A Favor:
Some days things just click. Today is not that day.
Love is a battlefield, and divorce attorney Sadie Howard is
entrenched on the frontlines. She thought she might have met the right man
once, but he was a career military guy who got shipped overseas and left her
heart on the tarmac. These days, the only commitment Sadie wants is the one
she's made to her Denver law practice.
Combat photographer Roman Dvornakov is back. Fresh out of the
U.S. Army, he’s using family connections to snap photos at a few weddings while
he builds his civilian photography practice. After all he’s captured on film, a
few posed wedding shots should be a cakewalk. Seeing so much death through the
camera lens, he’s now ready to build something worth living for. A thriving
photography business, definitely. But he’s certain his new mission also
includes Sadie, the girl who slipped away.
Sadie isn’t convinced, and she's not willing to open her heart
anytime soon. Besides, she’s got a high-profile divorce case taking up all
her attention. Winning the case for her client will make or break her
practice. So what if it's a custody dispute
over a ridiculously expensive fish tank? When Roman discovers
the soon-to-be divorced couple are still in love, he and his slightly-nutty
grandmother, Babushka, are determined to convince them to cancel the
proceedings. He’s not camera shy when it comes to matters of the heart,
but interfering with Sadie's clients could wreck her career and any chance
they'll ever have together...

Exclusive Excerpt:
“My grandmother is on her way here.”
Sadie’s eyes got extra big and she snatched the other pillow off
the bed to cover herself.
That was a shame.
“That’s not good,” she said.
No, it was not good.
His grandmother was elderly, but she was spry, and who knew how
quickly she’d make it to the Holiday Inn.
It’d either be two hours, if she got distracted by the Macy’s
display at Cherry Creek Mall, or ten minutes, if it was urgent and she didn’t
stop to window-shop.
“You want me to go?” She had already begun putting her bra back
on.
“No.” He shook his head. He did not want her to go.
“I should go,” she said softly. “I mean, it’s nice that you don’t
mind if I stay. But your grandma doesn’t need to meet your latest Denver
fling.”
The way she said it indicated she thought this was his standard
operating procedure. Finding a pretty girl, entertaining himself, and then
going back to work.
That was definitely not his standard operating procedure. He
opened his mouth to tell her just that—
“If your grandmother is anything like mine, it’s probably best if
I just head out. You don’t want to explain what we’ve been up to.” She made
a yeesh face, then kissed his cheek. “We can catch up later.”
“I don’t care what my grandmother thinks,” he said, pressing his
lips against the soft skin of her forehead.
“You’re sweet, Rome.” She looked up at him from under a filter of
eyelashes. “Sweet and really asking for trouble if you introduce me to your
family. I mean, I’m amazing. They’ll be all disappointed that we’re temporary.
It’ll get weird when they start inviting me to family functions and stuff
without you. We shouldn’t make it weird.”
He chuckled.
Yeah, he adored Sadie Howard.
“You can stay,” he said. And he meant it.
He didn’t care who knew about the girl who made this visit the
best one he’d ever had.
“But I shouldn’t.” She kissed him on his mouth, lingering there.
“I’ll catch a taxi. Come by my place when you’re done?”
“I don’t know how long it’ll be.” Hands against her cheeks, his
fingers in her hair, he pulled her to him for a longer, lingering kiss.
“I’ll wait,” she said against his mouth when he broke the kiss.
And he’d do everything he could to make sure she didn’t have to
wait long.
