I'm a Book Shark: Blog Tour: N.A. Alcorn

Pub Date: February 28, 2014

Meet Amy Jackson. An outspoken, raunchy, in-your-face, loudly inappropriate ER Nurse who makes a career out of indulging.

One-night stands have always been her thing.

Commitment and relationships are two words that are not in her vocabulary.

Amy doesn't have dreams of soul mates and white picket fences. She adamantly refuses to even consider the idea of getting married and starting a family. She’s also obstinate in allowing a certain physician to get on her good side…

James Williams. A cocky, smug, too-damn-good-looking orthopedic surgeon who has his sights set on the very feisty Amy Jackson. He is more than intrigued and ready to do whatever it takes…

“I want this woman. I’m the type of guy who will fight for what he wants until he gets it. I will take my time with Amy. I won’t rush her. I will continue to slowly slide myself into her life until she realizes that I belong there. And then…I won’t let her go.”

This is Book Two in The Infamous Series.

Excerpt from Avoiding Amy Jackson

by N.A. Alcorn

“You okay?” I question with concern.

She shrugs in an unconvincing motion. “Yeah.”

I don’t buy it. She’s not okay; she’s very far from okay. My fingers are still grasping her chin, forcing her gaze to stay with mine. Her chocolate irises look dismayed, uncomfortable even. “I have a hard time believing that, sweetheart.”
She shrugs her shoulders again and closes her eyes tight for an endless minute. I let the silence descend upon us and start wondering if this girl is really worth the trouble. I wrap my arms around her and she willingly cuddles into my chest. My head falls back in frustration and I internally groan. I mentally berate myself for caring about this woman. I chastise my undeniable longing to protect her. I’m beating myself up for wanting a woman who seems to make a career out of avoiding emotional attachments. I should walk away from her before she destroys me. I rest my chin on top of her head and inhale deeply. All I can smell is her. Amy’s flowery scent clings to my nostrils and burrows inside of my brain.

I wish she didn’t smell so fucking good.

I wish she wasn’t so god damn beautiful.

I’m wishing a lot of things right now and all of them seem to revolve around her.

“Thanks, James.” Her soft whisper is muffled against my chest.

“You owe me, doll.”

My demand causes her to pull back a little from my embrace and her scrutinizing gaze focuses on me. I’m happy her arms are still wrapped around my waist. I can practically hear the wheels turning inside of her cute, little brain. “Is that so?”

I nod my head in response, the corner of my mouth twitching up into a small smile.

Her tiny little fingers pinch my ass hard and I yelp out in shock. “Shit!” Her eyes dance with hilarity, and I quickly lean down in response, throwing her tiny frame over my shoulder.

“God damn it! Mother fucker! Fucking shit, put me down!” She rambles off another string of curse words, but I just continue walking through her lobby doors, taking the stairs two at a time towards her floor.

“Such a dirty mouth, sweetheart,” I chuckle. “You better be quiet or you’re going to wake up the entire building.” Her fingers immediately find my ass again and she continues to pinch me with a vengeance. “I had no idea that playing grab-ass was friendship approved,” I announce before placing both of my hands on her ass, giving each firm cheek a nice squeeze. I want to sink my teeth into her perfect ass.

“Oh you are a son of a bitch!” she attempts to shout, but it’s muffled with her giggles.

The sound of her laughter brings a ridiculous smile to my face. I love making this woman laugh, especially giggle. And believe me, Amy Jackson is not a giggler. She doesn’t show those types of girly emotions, but when she reveals that side of herself for you, it makes you feel like the luckiest fucking guy on the planet.
