IF Tomorrow Never Comes #BookHugs with #Ghost by Lisa Chalmers



Blurb:
How hard would you fight for the one you love? 

Josh Collins has the perfect life—a beautiful girlfriend and a baby on the way, until an accident takes his life. 

Avery Rhodes’ world imploded the moment she lost Josh. Her life and future unravelled in an instant. Alone and pregnant, she finds herself facing an unimaginable, turbulent and painful new reality.

With his newfound guide Gabriel, Josh is witness to the unintended consequences of his death, until he can't take it anymore. He has to fight for everything and everyone he loves.

Together, Josh and Avery are forced to learn what happens IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES.




Excerpt:
Josh had the sketchbook Gabriel had given him propped on his legs as he sketched absently as he sat on the beach, the sun rising behind him, not concentrating on what he was doing, the pencil moving quickly across the paper. His thoughts were where they always tended to drift to lately, Avery and the baby. He’d been afraid to sneak down and see her since the day he’d actually held her. It tore him up inside to be away from her for so long, but he didn’t understand what that meant, that he could suddenly touch her and she’d feel it. He didn’t want to scare her somehow. He smudged one of the lines he’d drawn and studied his work. Her face stared back at him. He darkened a few lines before he set the book beside him on the warm sand and closed his eyes, thinking back.
He’d decided to go with her to that very first doctor’s appointment, the one to confirm whether or not her suspicions were correct. It was uncomfortable being the only male in the doctor’s waiting room, being smiled at by every woman who walked in. He could still see the surprise on the nurse’s face when she walked out and found him there by himself for the first time. He’d tried to keep from squirming around anxiously in the chair every time he heard a door open and close in the distance. He wondered just how long it took to come back with test results anyway. They’d called and said they were in, so it didn’t take all that long to tell her yes or no, did it? He kept stretching his legs out ahead of him then bringing them back, not wanting to trip anyone as they were called for their appointment. He’d been there at least an hour waiting, jumping at every noise. He’d been sure the nurse was about to give him something for his nerves when he felt someone nudge his foot. He scooted his feet back, letting whoever it was pass by on their way to their appointment.
Good quiz in Cosmo?” Avery’s voice came from behind the glossy pages.
He lifted his gaze in record time. “Who cares?” He tossed the magazine on the empty chair beside him.
She read the cover. “Rating your lover in twelve easy questions.”
Avery?”
What?” She’d been reaching for the magazine.
I want to know.”
I haven’t taken the quiz yet.” She giggled as he batted her hand away. “You’re absolutely crazy.”
He glanced around the almost deserted waiting room before he pulled her down to sit on his lap. “I want to know if we’re going to have a baby.” His arm wrapped around her waist, his fingers sliding beneath the back of her shirt, rubbing the soft skin at the small of her back. “I need to know.”
You need to know, huh?”
His eyes locked on hers. “Come on, Aves. Am I going to be a daddy?”
She took one of his hands and moved it around, resting it on her abdomen. She bit her lip for a moment before breaking out into the most beautiful smile he’d ever seen. “I think Daddy’s crazy, don’t you, baby?”
Josh’s jaw dropped, his mind going absolutely blank as he tried to comprehend her words. She was kidding, she wasn’t kidding. She didn’t look like she was kidding. That smile on her face, the way her eyes were shining as she waited for his reaction. “Oh my…oh my God…”
So I guess I was right.”
Let’s take you home,” he said suddenly, his hand tightening over hers.
Why?”
He leaned in close to her. “Because I want to talk to the baby and then I want to make love to his beautiful mommy.” He stared into her eyes. “All right with you?”
She blushed as she slid off his lap. “More than all right with me.”

Excerpt from Bonus Story - McKee's Family.

The light breeze running across the plains halted. With the hot sun beating down on her, she grew warmer. A trickle of sweat ran down her back. Doubts plagued her. Damn, she should have never let her daughter talk her into coming here.
“Midnight, here, is one we raised from a colt. We currently have two mares ready to foal and have a total of eight horses. That’s not counting the ones we are training for other people.” Barton continued talking as if unaware of her conflicting emotions. 
“That must keep you and your brother very busy. I’ll have to make sure Genna and I don’t cause you any problem while we’re visiting.” Arlene wondered how long before her sister drove her back into town. Who wanted to help a down and out relative? Especially after all the fights, they had as kids.
“Don’t worry. It’ll be fun to have someone new to talk to. Other than my parents and my sister, we rarely get any visitors. Except during the holidays when other assorted relatives get together.” Barton glanced at Genna and smiled. “Only problem is your daughter will probably be spoiled rotten by the time you leave.”
Amused by the possibility, Arlene grinned. Her daughter had many talents. One was wearing on people’s nerves. “I’m sure she’ll enjoy the attention.”
He chuckled, “What child doesn’t?”
She noted the spark of amusement in his eyes. Something about his carefree attitude attracted her, and she wondered what it would be like to have this man’s love. Her marriage had been less than harmonious. Her husband, a gambler, had moved them from place to place always looking for a better game. When they were first married, she’d loved discovering new places. Then Genna had come along, and everything had changed.
“So how long do you think you’ll be here?”

Let's round out the hop with a  free read - Hot Prairie Nights is a Historical Western erotic romance.
