– Unseen
He
was the high school crush who never knew I existed. I am still the girl hiding
against the wall.
Life
for Kenzy Davis is far from easy right now. After ending a long term
relationship, she is back in her hometown, starting over.
Maverick
Collins works hard and plays even harder. An invisible illness shakes his world
at its core as his father fights for his life. Everything he ever took for
granted stares him in the face, including the shy girl from his past.
Watching
someone you love battle an illness is never easy. When the ICU nurse caring for
his dad is the one girl from his past he saw around but overlooked, does
Maverick find comfort in her embrace? Does Kenzy find a new calm in the chaos
of her life? Or do their feelings remain invisible yet again?
Excerpt
Lost in
thought, trying to remember my dad’s damn list, I am not paying attention to
anything around me while stopping at the bags of salad. I don’t look up as I
push my cart in front of me so I can lean down to grab the right one. I feel
the cart bump something and hear a slight whimper.
Looking up, I
smile at the woman in front of me as she turns around to face me. Whoa, I
didn’t expect the anger she has going on over an accidental bump.
“Slick, watch
out, why don’t ya? I’m sure this little ploy of yours works on every other
chick, but not me, okay? So think about that next time.”
“Slick, huh?
Well, my friends call me Tappper, but whatever. I’m sorry. It really was an
accident, not some ploy.” I say, lifting up the bag of mixed greens so she can
see I was getting something.
“Apology
accepted. Moving on. Have a good day, Mr. Tapper.” She smiles and it hits me
who she is.
She pushes at
her cart, and I hear her mutter, “Appropriate name, Tapper. Humph.”
“Kenzy,” I
call out to her back as she strolls away from me.
Her gorgeous,
dark hair swings around her as she turns back to face me, Confusion etches her
features, and I realize she doesn’t recognize me.
“Maverick,” I
say, introducing myself.
“Oh my, you’re
… um … dirty,” she says, covering her mouth in embarrassment of her unfiltered
response.
“Baby, you
have no idea,” I reply with a smile and a wink. “You look good, Kenzy. It’s
been a long damn time.”
“Y-yeah.”
Composing herself, she smiles finally. “I just moved back.”
“Good, I’ll
see ya around, then.”
“Sure thing.”
She turns back to her cart and heads off to finish her shopping, her ass
swaying with each step.
I can’t help
wanting to take my hand to that ass and make it a nice shade of pink. Kenzy has
certainly grown into a beautiful woman from her awkward teenage years. She had
an innocent yet definitely rough beauty in her youth, one that you had to see
past the outer appearance to the heart of the girl. Now she is carrying herself
in a refined but shy way. I don’t think she realizes how gorgeous she is.
About the Author
Chelsea always wanted to be
a writer, but like most of us, let fear of the unknown grab a hold of her
dream; she realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for her
dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice.
Chelsea grew up turning
wrenches alongside her father, and from that grew her love for old muscle cars
and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which just so happened to inspired her
‘Daddy’s Girls’ series. Her love for reading has sparked a new love for writing
and she currently has a few more projects in the works.
When she is not spending
her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows,
going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down
with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen
to be in.
She hates being serious and
is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life
and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and
to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy
the simple things in life and how to always have fun.
