You can’t go back, and you can’t
stand still…
Lucy Doolan is a marketing genius. She
can sell rain to a frog and snow to a polar bear. Newly single and
unemployed, she’s lured back to her hometown of Harmony, North
Carolina to help out her pregnant evil stepsister…only to find
former crush heartthrob Brogan Reese has returned too, to open a new
business in town. To add insult to injury, he’s still hot.
If the thunder don’t get you, then
the lightning will…
Brogan never noticed Lucy much when
they were young, but seventeen people have recommended her to help
him. She’s got his attention now. With her sweet personality,
brilliant imagination, and penchant for doing the completely
unpredictable, Brogan is finding a whole lot of excuses to spend his
days—and nights—with Lucy.
Michele Summers writes
about small-town life with a Southern flair and has her own interior
design business in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Miami, Florida. Both
professions feed her creative appetite and provide a daily dose of
humor.

Today we are pleased to sit down with
Lucy Doolan and Brogan Reese, the hero and heroine in Michele
Summer’s latest, Not So New In Town (July 2015). Lucy
and Brogan are going to answer a question about their relationship
and tell us a bit more about themselves!
If your partner could change jobs,
what would be his/her dream job?
Lucy: Some sort of extreme
athlete like climbing Mt. Everest in his bare feet with nothing but
healthy granola for food. *huge eye roll*
Brogan: A professional singer.
Lucy loves to sing at the top of her lungs even though she can’t
carry a tune in a bucket.
An Excerpt
“Let’s dance”—Brogan shoved his chair back, grabbing Lucy’s hand—“and give these two some alone time.”
“I don’t want to dance.”
“Sure you do. They’re playing Trace Adkins.”
Wanda helped by pushing Lucy’s chair from the table with her foot. Brogan tugged Lucy around more dining tables to the middle of the sawdust-covered dance floor, where couples swayed to the band’s rendition of “Every Light in the House.” Slipping his right hand around the small of her back, he pressed her plush curves into his chest. Her smooth hair tickled his chin, and the smell of citrus filled his head. Lucy stood stiff as a telephone pole as he tried maneuvering to the slow beat of the music.
“You gonna dance like a robot all night, or just with me?” He cocked his head and peered into her face, where doubt disappeared and desire took over as her gaze softened. Brogan liked that look as he slightly bent his knees, pulling her closer. “I won’t bite unless you want me to,” he whispered next to her ear.
“Good to know.” She heaved a shaky sigh. “Well, I guess you’re better than Clancy Perry over there looking like he wants to cut in.” Looping her left arm around his neck, she rocked her hips to the beat. Brogan swallowed a groan. Right now nothing else mattered. All he cared about was luscious Lucy filling his arms.
“Let’s look like we mean it so Clancy or his brother, Clinton, won’t get any ideas.” He bent as if to kiss her.
“You don’t mind if I start singing, do you?” she said, smiling as she moved away from his lips.
Brogan’s head jerked back. “Oh, hell no. My ears haven’t recovered from this morning.”
“I know all the words.” Tossing him a saucy look, she started to hum…loudly.
“Shut up and dance.” Brogan tucked her back under his chin and shook with laughter.
