Title: THE TROUBLE WITH WANTING
Author: Jillian Liota
Genre: Contemporary Romance
About The Trouble With Wanting:
Ruby Roberts is heading to Cedar Point to connect with the father
who left her behind. Easy conversation with the handsome man sitting next to
her isn’t what she’s expecting from her cross-country flight, but it’s not
something she’s complaining about, that’s for sure.
Boyd Mitchell is flying home for some end-of-summer relaxation
and time with his favorite people – his family. A talkative seat-mate that
pulls him out of his shell is the last thing he wants, but he can’t seem to
resist her charm.
When Boyd and Ruby end up in the same lakeside town, their banter
and flirtation quickly become a steamy fling that leaves them both breathless.
Neither of them are expecting to find a romance that has them both
reconsidering everything they used to believe about love.
As their time in Cedar Point comes to an end, the two will have
to decide whether they want their connection to turn into a real-world
relationship, or whether wanting more is nothing but trouble.

Exclusive Excerpt:
“Sorry for
rambling,” I say, giving him another smile. “It’s way too early in the morning
to be debating something so highbrow. So, how ’bout them Sox,
huh?”
Boyd looks
at me with a twinkle in his eyes, a kind of friendly charm I wasn’t expecting
from him, regardless of how well we got on with our
chat.
What I
wouldn’t give to look at that kind of handsome joy every day for the rest of my
life.
A stupid
thought, sure, but still true.
“I bet you
ten dollars you can’t name a single player on the team this
year.”
I narrow my
eyes, trying to hide my smile as I shake my head. “I’m not a gambling
girl.”
“You’d
gamble if you knew you were probably going to win.” His response is as quick as
lightning. “People only choose not to gamble when they’re afraid they’ll
lose.”
“That is so
not true.” I giggle. “Some of us poor folk don’t gamble because we can’t take
the risk. Not all of us are first class aficionados with money to throw around
willy-nilly.”
“Nobody
says willy-nilly
anymore.”
I snort.
“Clearly that’s false, because I just did.”
He bites
his lip and shakes his head, and I can’t help the little thing that keeps
bouncing around in my chest.
We like
him, it tells me.
We like him a
lot.
Is this
flirting? We are definitely flirting, right? I hope so, because it has been far
too long since I’ve enjoyed a good flirt sesh with
someone as handsome as Boyd.
That’s a
lie.
I’ve
never flirted
with someone as handsome as Boyd. He is in a league of his
own.
Before I
can say anything else, the plane lurches forward, and it feels like my stomach
is going to fall out of my body.
My eyes
slam shut and my throat closes up, my hands gripping the armrests for dear life
as the plane barrels down the runway, all the good feelings from my talk with
Boyd rushing out of me with a surreal quickness.
It’s going
to be okay.
It’s going to be
okay.
It’s going
to be okay.
I’m like
that for who knows how long before I feel a hand on top of mine, the warmth and
roughness surprising me enough that my eyes fly open, taking in the man sitting
next to me.
He lifts my
hand and twists his fingers in mine, the sensation robbing me of my voice—and
maybe my sanity.
For the
rest of my life, I’ll remember exactly what he says to me. Not just the words,
but the soothing tone of his voice and the earnest caring in his eyes, so
surprising from someone I was expecting to ignore me for the entire
flight.
“It’s okay
to be afraid,” he says. “I can’t take that feeling away from you, but I can
hold your hand until it’s over so you know you’re not
alone.”
