Inhale Exhale, a
New Adult Contemporary romance
from author Sarah M. Ross, releases May 7th.
Check out the BLURB:
Jillian had a plan: celebrate
the end of her first year of college with an amazing summer full of beaches,
barbeques, and bonfires. When her mom insists she needs a summer job, and her
boyfriend spends more time with his band than with her, Jillian’s plans go down
the drain.
Grant had a plan: finish his Masters, get a
great job at Google, and get the hell out of Georgia. He might be giving up
some of the fun of his youth, but he knows his all work and no play method
would be worth it when his dreams came true.
But things never go according to plan.
When temptation brings them together and tragedy
tears them apart, Jillian and Grant will be forced to choose: fight for their
dreams, or fight for each other.

Here’s an excerpt:
“Are you sure you’re not
breaking it just so I can come back out here? Cause if you want to see me, you
don’t have to break expensive equipment to get my attention,” Grant asked
earlier that day.
It was the third time I’d
had to call IT, and the third time I’d gotten to see the mischievous smile on
his face as he walked toward me.
“No, I promise you. I really am this dumb.” I
winked playfully, allowing myself to flirt for a minute. It was harmless,
right? I’d never actually act on it.
“I’m pretty sure the fact you can say that
sentence in several other languages suggests otherwise.”
“Sono davvero questo stupido,” I repeated in Italian.
Grant ran a knuckle down my arm, leaving a trail
of goose bumps along the path. “Beautiful,” he said in a whispered breath. My
own breathing hitched at his words. “See? Like I said, not a dumb bone in you.”
The all-too-familiar blush crept back onto my
face. “You don’t know me that well.”
“I’d like to change that. What are you doing
tonight? A bunch of us from work are going to this beach party. I’d love it if
you could come.”
For a moment, I pictured myself there. Laughing
and having fun around a bonfire and splashing in the ocean. Grant in his board
shorts that would hang low, revealing that deep V I was sure was there. But
then I snapped out of it, remembering how inappropriate my thoughts were. “I
have a boyfriend. I can’t.”
“It’s not a date, Jillian. Just a group of
friends hanging out.” He packed up his supplies, but paused before leaving. He stared
deeply into my eyes, making my palms sweat. Leaning in close, he whispered in
my ear. “If I were asking you out, it wouldn’t be with a group of people. It
would be only us—alone—so I wouldn’t have anything from distracting me from
admiring every nook and cranny on your beautiful face, Cupcake.”
I swallowed down the lump that formed in my
throat. My mouth had gone dry; I was unable to form a thought, let alone words.
“Here.” He reached out and gently took my hand.
“I’ll do this old school since you don’t like technology.”
My mouth opened, but I couldn’t respond. I
stared at him as he took out a pen. He picked up my tiny hand, which shook
slightly, and held it in his own. The contact was slight, but powerful. I was
frozen in place as he wrote on my palm. The only movement came from my heart
that pounded in my chest. Before he let go, he gently blew on the ink to help
it dry, causing me to emit the faintest of moans.
“In case you change your mind,” he whispered,
then winked and walked away.
