Alexia Chaseโ€™s Unraveled is a fast-paced, emotionally charged, sexy, contemporary romance written in K. Brombergโ€™s Everyday Heroes Worlds project.

Can a man whoโ€™s been burned find love with a woman whoโ€™s full of sunshine and happily ever afters? 

Kameron Willoughby

His mom walked out the door when he was twelve and never looked back. That was Kameronโ€™s first taste of a woman letting him down, but certainly not the last. 

Over the years, heโ€™s caught his high school girlfriend with his best friend. And his last girlfriend used him to humiliate another woman. To say heโ€™s bitter and looking to lick his wounds is an understatement. 

When his cousin offers him a place to stay in Sunnyville, he jumps at the chance. Little did he know, heโ€™d meet Little Miss Sunshine herself. 

Layla Malone

Sheโ€™s looking for Mr. Right, and he has some big shoes to fill. The men in her family have loyal hearts and a helping spirit. The biggest complaint people have about her is that sheโ€™s always rushing off to rescue someone. Whyโ€™s that such a bad thing? 

The first time she meets Kameron, sheโ€™s wrangling ducklings when one accidently falls into a rainwater drain. 

Kameron couldnโ€™t be farther from what sheโ€™s looking for. Heโ€™s grumpy, doesnโ€™t like animals, and thinks sheโ€™s a do-gooder. Every time they meet, sheโ€™s jumping headfirst into helping someone, and heโ€™s lecturing her on taking unnecessary risks. 

What happens when two people, who have nothing in common, keep getting thrown together? 

One thing thatโ€™s soon apparent โ€“ they have an undeniable scorching chemistry that has them both unraveling. 

Will they stay enemies? Do they have more in common than they think? 

Can Layla show Kameron that thereโ€™s light after the darkness? Or will Kameron destroy Laylaโ€™s belief that life is sunshine and rainbows? 

This story is filled with breaking preconceived notions, resolving miscommunications, learning to appreciate your past, and healing old wounds. 

Thereโ€™s also some duck wrangling, cat rescuing, sexy firefighting, and an eighty-year-old manโ€™s rushed delivery to a nursing home before his erectile dysfunction medication wears off. 

Are you ready to enjoy the next Everyday Hero? Kameronโ€™s one Grumpalicious fireman. 


EXCERPT

Layla

Between Gertrude and I, we manage to corral three of the baby ducks into the park as several customers file out of the cafรฉ to cheer me on. 

I lean down and swoosh my arms in the air as another puffball waddles toward the yellow center line. โ€œOh, no, you donโ€™t.โ€ 

At my exaggerated movements, the duckling shots into the grass like a fox is hot on his tail feathers. โ€œGood job, little one.โ€

By now, cars on both sides of the road have come to a complete stop. Mayor Winston steps out of his Cadillac. He leans against the door with his arm resting over the top edge. โ€œBeautiful day, isnโ€™t it?โ€

I swipe a strand of hair out of my eyes, but it continues to swirl. โ€œYes, it is.โ€

He chuckles as Gertrude darts to the side of the road and frantically quacks at a duckling that has wandered down the cement gutter. โ€œShe sure has her hands full with this batch. I donโ€™t think theyโ€™re going to make it.โ€

โ€œYou and me both,โ€ I sigh in utter frustration. Thereโ€™s no time to make idle conversation. I jog to catch up with them before another unsuspecting driver ends up running over the little family. 

Not that thereโ€™s anywhere for vehicles to go. The road to the south is blocked by the Mayor and a couple other drivers whoโ€™ve stopped to chat with him. And from the north, a large 4×4 is angled sideways to block traffic. 

I squint. Whoโ€™s that? I donโ€™t recognize the vehicle. Before I can catch a glimpse of the driver, the pipsqueak on the loose slips between the rails of the drain grate and disappears. 

โ€œOh, shit.โ€ My heart skips a beat. I run to the covered trench and stare inside with my co-parent quacking and fluttering her head from side to side. How am I going to get you out of there? 

โ€œWhat are you doing?โ€ A deep voice booms from behind me.

My mouth drops, and I pivot on my heel. Holy hotness, Batman. The man, who has apparently emerged from a monster truck with dual tailpipes, strides across the pavement. 

The muscles in his shoulders and neck ripple with each movement. When did superheroes start wearing low-hung jeans and wifebeaters? I swallow over the dry ball of lust in my throat and straighten my back. โ€œGertrudeโ€™s baby duckling fell into the drain.โ€

He yanks the sunglasses off his face, and the darkest pair of brown eyes stare at me in utter disbelief. Then, he glances in all directions. โ€œAnd that warrants this mess?โ€

I jerk backward. โ€œWhat mess?โ€

โ€œThis.โ€ As he waves his hand in a circle in front of him, his eyes flash with contempt. โ€œYouโ€™re holding up traffic. All the lookie-loos are out gawking. And the Mayorโ€™s over there holding an impromptu press conference.โ€

I spin around to see Mayor Winston grinning from ear to ear as he uses his hands to talk. Tracie Atherton and Max Parson have their cellphones up as they appear to be recording his conversation. Welcome to Sunnyville, California. 

โ€œThen, move on.โ€ I shrug. โ€œIt doesnโ€™t have to be your business.โ€

The man purses his lips. โ€œYes, it does. We received a call at the fire department, and Iโ€™m the lucky one who got the assignment.โ€
