Here Comes the Sun

Butler, Vermont series

by Marie Force

Blurb:

Wade Abbott is one and done.

One look, one conversation, one weekend, and he knows who he wants.

Except, Mia Simpson is not free to return his affection. In fact, he suspects she’s in an abusive marriage, but she never confirms that, and he has no choice but to mind his own business where she’s concerned.

Two years after they first met and a year after he last heard from her, Mia shows up half-frozen, bruised and beaten on his doorstep, needing something only Wade can provide.

He’s determined to make it work, no matter the cost. Grab the latest in a series you will fall in love with!ย

Excerpt:

Wade walked into the conference room and wanted to turn around and walk right back out. The table had been set with placemats as if they were hosting a dinner party. On each placemat was a wide array of products, things normally used in the privacy of oneโ€™s bedroom and not laid out like a sexual buffet on the conference room table.

Will came in after him, took one look and groaned. โ€œDo we hafta?โ€

โ€œDad says we hafta.โ€

โ€œMaybe we should look into a nursing home for him. He is getting on in years.โ€

โ€œI heard that, William,โ€ Lincoln said when he came in. โ€œAnd good luck with that plan.โ€

โ€œI canโ€™t sit in a room with my sisters and talk about sex toys,โ€ Will said.

โ€œYes, you can. Think of them the same way you would anything else we carryโ€”foot fungus cream or hemorrhoid remedies or yeast infection cures.โ€

โ€œWe donโ€™t have to have special training for any of those products,โ€ Will said.

โ€œUm, I did,โ€ Wade said. As director of health and wellness, heโ€™d been trained in all the products offered in the storeโ€™s apothecary.

โ€œNot with Charley in the room,โ€ Will said of the more obnoxious of their three sisters.

โ€œTrue,โ€ Wade conceded.

โ€œThis product line has nothing to do with me,โ€ Will said. โ€œItโ€™s not Vermont Made. Why do I have to be trained on it?โ€

โ€œVery good question, Will,โ€ Hunter said when he joined them. โ€œIโ€™m an accountant. Why do I need to know about this?โ€

โ€œBecause weโ€™re going to have to train the sales team on the floor and at the distribution center,โ€ Linc said, โ€œso we need to be able to answer their questions. And we donโ€™t ask anything of our employees that we arenโ€™t willing to do ourselves.โ€

Most of their โ€œsales teamโ€ were grandmothers whoโ€™d worked for the company for decades. The thought of indoctrinating them on this product line had given Wade nightmares for months. Fortunately, the contractor from the company that produced the line would be doing most of the heavy lifting. But he had to be in the room. He didnโ€™t want to be in the room.

โ€œI donโ€™t work with the sales team,โ€ Hunter said. โ€œThey wonโ€™t be asking me questions, so I donโ€™t need to be in this meeting.โ€

โ€œI never realized Iโ€™d raised such a bunch of prudes,โ€ Linc said. โ€œWhere did your mother and I go wrong?โ€

Molly breezed into the conference room. โ€œAre they being prudes, love?โ€

โ€œYou warned me they would be,โ€ Linc said, accepting a kiss from his wife, who marched right over to one of the place settings and began picking up and examining the various objects. She pushed a button on one of them, and it roared to life, making her laugh.

โ€œI canโ€™t,โ€ Hunter said, staring at their mother, eyes agog. โ€œI just canโ€™t.โ€

โ€œOh, sit down and be quiet,โ€ Molly said. โ€œThese things are going to generate revenue unlike anything weโ€™ve ever seen. Think about the money youโ€™ll get to count, Hunter. That always makes you happy.โ€

โ€œPut that thing down, Mom,โ€ Will said, โ€œand never touch it again.โ€

Elmer came bustling in, stopping short at the sight of his daughter holding a phallic object. โ€œOh. Well. Here we go, then.โ€

โ€œWhat,โ€ Will said, โ€œis he doing here?โ€

โ€œIโ€™m the reason youโ€™re here, young man, so Iโ€™ll remind you to mind your manners.โ€

โ€œAre you providing counseling for those of us whoโ€™re going to be traumatized by this?โ€ Will asked his father.

โ€œSit down and chill,โ€ Linc said. โ€œIt wonโ€™t be that bad.โ€

Elmer hit the power button on one of the devices, and it launched right out of his hand.

โ€œIt will be that bad,โ€ Will said, slumping into a chair with Hunter next to him.

โ€œDid they bring blindfolds?โ€ Hunter asked. โ€œThatโ€™d help.โ€

Believe it or not, it goes downhill from there. Read all about it and find out what happens when the woman Wade Abbott has longed for shows up beaten and half-frozen on his doorstep, asking for something only Wade can give her. Here Comes the Sun is out on Tuesday!
