Spotlight: The Breakup Bucket List by Cassie Cross
/
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Ever since Lindsay Castillo was a little girl, she dreamed about living in Port City. As an adult, she learns the difficult lesson that dreams aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be. With a broken heart, an apartment full of boxes and a moving company booked, Lindsay jots down everything she wants to do before she leaves Port City and heads back home to start over.
She has a month to mark off everything on The Breakup Bucket List.
Evan Roberts is doing his best to live up to the high expectations that come along with having his last name. As Port City royalty, he’s been following a strict path to success since the day he was born. He’s looking for a little fun—something to shake up the monotony of his life—when he runs into Lindsay. He’s captivated by her and welcomes the challenge of helping her complete her bucket list.
It doesn’t take much convincing for Lindsay to agree; there are some things she wants to do before she moves that only someone with Evan’s access can help her with. What starts off as a simple partnership grows into more as Lindsay and Evan race against the clock and Lindsay’s moving day draws closer…
Exclusive Excerpt:
The question startles me so badly that I kick my shoes right off my feet. I sit up quickly, pressing my hand against my chest to make sure my heart is still somewhere inside my body instead of flopping around on my blanket.
Handsome impostor picks up my shoes, placing them neatly beside me.
“I’m sorry I scared you,” he says with a smile that brings out this dimple in his cheek that makes him almost too cute to be mad at. “You scared me, too.”
“That’s okay,” I say attempting to catch my breath and sound unaffected at the same time. “I guess I thought I was the only trespasser up here.”
He laughs. “You are.”
He tugs on the badge that’s attached to the lanyard that’s hanging around his neck. I lean in close enough to read it. It has the logo of the company on the background, along with what has to be the world’s best ID photo, and his name.
Which is Evan Roberts.
Okay, so my somewhat calmed heart is racing again. “Evan Roberts of the Roberts Industries? Or is that just a happy coincidence.”
“Guilty as charged, I’m afraid.”
He’s trying to be friendly, but I’m worried this is some kind of an act to get me booked on misdemeanor trespassing charges.
“How do I know you’re you and not someone who’s just claiming to be you?”
He grins, and that damned dimple comes rushing back. “You don’t think I’m me?”
“I’m appropriately skeptical, I think.”
“Would you like me to have a background check run on…myself?”
It’s a tempting offer, but… “I think I would like a third party of my choosing to check up on you. To make sure you are who you say you are and also to make sure you’re not a creep.”
That surprises a laugh out of him. He shoves his hands in his pockets. “Please do. I can provide references if you’d like.”
