Eversea by Natasha Boyd
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
Publication date: June 10th 2013
Synopsis:
An orphaned small-town southern girl, burdened by responsibility and stuck in time.
A Hollywood A-list mega-star, on the run from his latest scandal and with everything to lose.
A chance encounter that leads to an unlikely arrangement and epic love affair that will change them both forever.
When his co-star and real-life girlfriend is caught cheating on him with her married and much older director, A-list hottie, Jack Eversea, finds himself in sleepy Butler Cove, South Carolina. Jack hopes the sultry southern heat in this tiny coastal Lowcountry town will hide him not only from the tabloids and his cheating girlfriend, but his increasingly vapid life and the people who run it. He doesn’t count on meeting Keri Ann Butler.
Keri Ann has relied on herself so long, dealing with her family’s death and the responsibilities of keeping up her family’s historic mansion, that boys and certainly the meager offering of eligible boys in Butler Cove, have never figured into her equation. But fate has other plans. Suddenly face to face with the man who played the movie role of her favorite fictional character, Jack has Keri Ann yearning for everything she has previously avoided ... and Jack must decide whether this funny, sassy girl is worth changing his life for, before his mistakes catch up to him.
Eversea is a FINALIST in the Winter Rose Unpublished Contest for 2013

Excerpt:
Jazz
grabbed a poker from the fireplace, and we both skidded on sock feet to the
front door. I looked out of the peephole, but with no lights on I couldn’t
really see a thing.
“I
can’t see anything,” I whispered, and then jumped back as another round of
banging started.
“Keri
Ann?” Jack’s voice shouted over the wind and rain.
“Oh my God.” I mouthed to Jazz.
Her
eyes were wide.
“Do you think he got my message?”
“Shit, I don’t know,” she
whispered back, her shoulders hunching up.
“Keri
Ann? Please ... please open the door. I really need to talk to you.”
What
the heck was he doing out there in the rain? Obviously, I was going to have to
let him in. I could feel mortification and it’s crimson tide crawling up my
chest to my neck.
Jazz
shrugged with an apologetic ‘this is your mess, I have no clue how to help you
here’ look on her face.
“Thanks!” I hissed at her.
“Keri
Ann! Open the Goddamn door ... please?” Jack’s voice broke over the last word
and my shoulders slumped.
Jazz
rolled her eyes.
I
opened the door as a huge gust of wind blew in and wrenched it out of my hands.
It swung back hard banging against the wall. And there stood the tall looming
shadow of Jack, hands on either side of the doorframe, in jeans and a dark wet
t-shirt that clung to his body. Water streamed down his beautiful face.
“For
the love of shrimp n’ grits, girl,” I heard Jazz murmur next to me as we both
took in the archangel standing on the threshold. “Good luck.”
I shivered.
I shivered.
