CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

THAT NIGHT, CONNIE squeezed through the ridiculous line that hung outside Barnes and Noble for Grayson’s book signing.

Grayson sat at the table signing books for eager women who appeared to have more on their minds than his signature.

Yet, Connie wasn’t jealous. Her heart pounded with pride when she passed the huge poster announcing the signing.

She smiled, holding Grayson’s latest release to her bosom as women took cellphone pictures with her man knowing they’d never have him.

Twenty minutes later, Connie got to the front of the line with two women gushing behind her.

Grayson looked up, his striking face alive with surprise. “Well. Isn’t this a surprise?”

“Is it?” Connie set her copy in front of him. “How could I not make it to the signing of the most famous mystery author in Baltimore?”

He held the pen to his face, drawing attention to his hunky features and those I ‘wanna-make-love-to-you-now’ eyes. “Glad you made it.” He opened the hardback and scribbled inside the cover. “You said you’d be working. You tricked me.”

“I have to keep you guessing so you don’t get bored, don’t I?”

He handed her the book, smiling with his eyes crinkling in the corners. “Read it.”

Arching her back, she peeked at the inscription.

Are you wearing any underwear?

She closed the book and wiggled her eyebrows. “I am.” She leaned over the table and whispered, “I don’t intend on having them on much longer.”

Grayson’s face reddened, and he glanced at his female assistant who spoke with the store liaison. “Don’t go anywhere,” he whispered to Connie.

“Oh, I don’t plan to.” She tucked the book under her arm and stood beside him behind the table. “There’s a lot of women here.”

“Most of my fans are women.” Grayson had a short conversation with the two women who’d been behind Connie. They grinned from ear-to-ear as Grayson took a selfie with them.

“Have a nice day, ladies,” Grayson told them after signing their books.

The next woman stepped up in the line, smiling and blushing as the others did.

“Must be nice getting all this attention.” Connie drummed her fingers against her book. “Didn’t realize you had so many groupies.”

Grayson scribbled his signature in the woman’s book, thanked her and she left. “I can’t help I’m desirable, Connie. It helps me sell books.”

“I bet.” She pinched his ear.

“Ow.” He chuckled, taking the book from the skinny guy in the tie-dye jeans.

“You inspired me to write.” The man beamed. “I always had ideas in my head but until you I didn’t know how to harness them.”

“Take my card and if you haven’t checked my blog, please do.” Grayson handed him the card. “I post writing tips every Monday.”

“Will do.” The man put the card in the book Grayson signed. “Can we take a picture?”

Grayson chuckled, standing. “Sure.”

They squeezed their heads together while the man clicked a photo on his phone.

“My dad will be so jealous,” the man said. “He’s a big fan of yours but couldn’t come because he’s in the hospital with lung cancer.”

“I’m so sorry.” Grayson sat, straightening his chair.
