Author: Morgan Parker
Adult Romance
Tour Host: Lady Amber's Tours
Synopsis
Katie discovers an unlocked iPhone in the back seat of a taxi. But instead of turning it in to the driver as lost, she decides to keep it for herself. Outside of the usual clutter you would expect to find on a smartphone, what captures Katie's interest is the single conversation she finds on the phone's secure text messaging service, a three-month dialogue between a woman with an uncertain past named Christine and a single, eligible man named Jake. What starts out as a message intended for someone else ends up being the beginning of a relationship more powerful than anything Christine or Jake have ever experienced.
Excerpt
For
a brief moment in time while sitting in the cab, the stars align. I realize
just how rare these moments are and decide to take advantage of it. I make a
quick, mental shopping list of all of those other big things my
parents never gave me – the Spring Break trip to Miami Beach for my senior year
in high school, the congratulatory BMW for getting accepted to Columbia, the
hot boyfriend who was supposed to propose after fourth year and help me avoid
the hectic life that typically follows med school. Okay, maybe I couldn’t blame
my parents for not getting me that last item, but if the Universe could deliver
an iPhone, it sure as hell can find me a husband.
With
my wish list ready and the iPhone in my lap, I close my eyes and channel all my
energy, every last ounce of it, at the Universe. And that’s when it happens.
The phone actually starts vibrating. My eyes shoot open and I look down in
shock.
