And now for today's Sunday Smooch from A Kiss in Kite Harbor...
Blurb:
Now she’s coming back for more…
When successful plus size model, Shelby Jenkins, is forced to return to her hometown of Kite Harbor, Maine, she must face her past demons. But asking for help doesn’t come naturally and it’s doubly hard when she needs it from the boy who broke her heart. Now he’s all grown up and is more tempting than a double fudge sundae with a cherry on top.
Nate Ritter loves being a teacher in the small town where he grew up. When the woman who stole his teenage heart returns, he’ll do anything to prove he’s no longer the insecure boy who betrayed her. As long as he makes sure he doesn’t fall for Shelby since she has a big, exciting life waiting for her back in the city.
Can his shot at redemption be enough to convince her to stay?
Smooch set up: Nate and Shelby are at their old high school, the place where he now works as a teacher. He wants her to see that school is just bricks and mortar, not this place that she's turned into a monster in her head.
“What
are you trying to say?” Her eyes glinted with mischief.

"It
never bothers me at home, people post mean things on the internet all the time.
Fat girls aren’t real models,” she mimicked. “And I don’t care. But coming back
here makes me feel fifteen again.”
“You
don’t look fifteen.”
“What
are you trying to say?” Her eyes glinted with mischief.
“I’m
saying you don’t have anything to worry about.” They were still holding hands
and he tugged her to him. “It doesn’t matter what people do, we both know
you’re the one who’s gorgeous…inside and out.”
“You
don’t know me, Nate.” She stiffened as his hand snaked around her waist,
drawing her closer, but she didn’t push him away.
Her
full breasts pressed against his chest, her thighs lined up with his. He
wouldn’t have to dip his head far to kiss her, she was right there. Tempting.
Tantalizing. Lush lips parted as her breath rasped in and out, the blacks of
her pupils expanding.
“Bullshit.
I know you’re the same girl I fell for back then.” His forehead pressed against
hers, the sweetness of perfume and perspiration on her skin setting off
fireworks in his brain. “I know you’re sexy as hell and I’d be a damn fool not
to kiss you right now.”
“You’ve
done foolish things before,” she whispered.
He
closed his eyes for a moment. “Shel, you know what I said. If I could take it back…”
For
a moment he was sure she’d push him away. And why shouldn’t she? He had nothing
to offer her—how could he compete with her exciting life in the city? History
told him you couldn’t hold people back from that. But he wanted that kiss,
wanted to reinvigorate the memory of having her in his arms even if for only a
moment.
Of
all the women who could have made him realize he didn’t want to be alone
anymore…why did it have to be her?
“I’ve
changed, I want you to know that. I’m not perfect, lord knows, but I’ve done what
I can to be a good person.”
“I
know.”
He
swallowed. “You do?”
“I
wouldn’t be here now if I didn’t see it for myself.” Her lips curved into a
gentle smile and her hands smoothed up his arms. “I can’t forget it, but I will
let you kiss me.”
He
needed no more invitation. Sliding his hands up her back, he lowered his mouth
to hers. Soft lips met him, open and willing. The tentative slide of her tongue
jacked his pulse up and sent blood rushing in his ears.
It
was everything he’d wanted then and he wanted it even more now.
Her
fists gripped his t-shirt, holding him close as she breathed into him. He
roamed her, mapped the highs and lows of her body. His hands found delight in
her rounded hips, sliding around until he allowed himself to go lower, cupping
her full behind.
All
the blood in his body rushed south as she arched against him. If she had doubts
about his attraction to her, she would know for certain now.
