While the world is ravaged by a global pandemic, hotshot NFL running back Evan Sparks is locked in his own personal hell. With a career-ending scandal on his back, Evan hides out in his best friend\u2019s empty San Francisco home, the full city shutdown locking him in a lonely twenty-story apartment in the sky.<\/span><\/p>\n Romance writer Sadie Walsh is having the worst case of writer\u2019s block ever\u2026until the incredible, muscular stranger staying next door gets her muse going strong. The pair of loners, never expecting to find a friend in all the madness, meet each day out on their balconies like a modern-day Romeo and Juliet.<\/span><\/p>\n Each new day brings unique challenges for the pair as they navigate the unknown and find solace together. They quickly figure out that as long as they have one another, they can handle anything.<\/span><\/p>\n Even falling in love under quarantine.<\/span><\/p>\n ***<\/span><\/p>\n Writing together for the first time, <\/span>New York Times<\/span><\/i> bestselling authors Kylie Scott and Audrey Carlan team up to tell a story that not only is a beautiful escape during a trying time, but a true lesson on the power of humanity\u2019s ability to survive. Through a sexy, hopeful, strangers-to-lovers romance, the authors prove with love, trust, and faith, we can conquer anything.<\/span><\/p>\n Amazon: <\/span>https:\/\/amzn.to\/2xb7wmo<\/span><\/a> \n Excerpt<\/b><\/p>\n SADIE<\/span><\/p>\n Okay, reposition feet hip-distance apart and centered on the mat. Inhale and let it all go on the exhale. I look over the balcony across the barren city and try to find perspective. What did the teacher say? Set your intention? My intention is to maintain a modicum of good health and to not go insane during self-isolation. Fingers crossed on both fronts. Getting some work done wouldn\u2019t be a bad idea either. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThey locked down the fucking city, man!\u201d The voice blocks me from finding my zen spot. Some big blond dude is pacing back and forth in the neighboring apartment. Guess we\u2019ve all got to get our exercise one way or another. A nice quiet doctor owns the place, but he\u2019s overseas right now. No idea who this guy is. The new cat sitter, maybe? If so, I hope Gloria housetrains him quickly because all of this shouty behavior is not okay. Not if I have to share a wall with him for the next few weeks. <\/span><\/p>\n My new neighbor\u2019s voice lowers to a more tolerable level and I take a deep, calming breath before moving into my next pose. Much better. Despite having questionable balance and being new to this whole yoga thing, I\u2019m not doing too badly. It\u2019s weird how quiet the city is with everything on lockdown. Peaceful, almost. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cTwo weeks! I\u2019ll be stuck here for two weeks!\u201d he rants once more. <\/span><\/p>\n Ugh. <\/span><\/p>\n Due to the architect\u2019s penchant for floor to ceiling windows\u2014perfect for letting in the light\u2014I have quite the view of my new neighbor\u2019s performance. Much angst. Such woe. Like we\u2019re not all going to go stir crazy during lock in. Even if it has only just started. I for one can\u2019t wait to see how many divorces and break-ups this causes. Call it morbid curiosity. Though, being a romance writer, my mind would be better served dwelling on the possibilities for true love in this situation. <\/span><\/p>\n A random casual hook-up turning into so much more due to weeks of forced interaction? Roommates bonding over newly revealed shared interests? Nuh. Roommates entering into a sex pact to stave off boredom! Now that could work. Broken beds and broken hearts. That\u2019s how to get things done. With the requisite happy ever after at the end, of course. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cExcuse me!\u201d he shouts, shoving a frustrated hand through his head of thick, wavy, dark blond hair. New phone call, I think. After all, you can\u2019t yell at the same person all day long. How tedious would that be? <\/span><\/p>\n Call me distractible, but watching him is actually a hell of a lot more interesting than perfecting my Downward Dog or doing yet another inventory of my pantry. Damn Oreos. I could have sworn I had another package. Day one and I\u2019m already out of my favorite snack. Just bring on the apocalypse already. Without Oreos my life is already functionally over. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAre you kidding me!\u201d The man sure has a set of lungs on him. Unfortunately, at this point, he about-faces and strides back into the apartment. Still yelling, of course, though I can\u2019t quite make out what he\u2019s saying. <\/span><\/p>\n On the plus side, in those blue jeans, his ass is a thing of wonder. Honest to God. In less pandemic-y times, I\u2019d charge my friends a bottle of wine to come over and witness the beauty of that thing. So tight. So nice. I lick my lips. Impressively broad shoulders beneath his T-shirt too. When he paces back to the front of the apartment, I\u2019m presented with a strong jawline, high forehead, and a nose that could be slightly crooked. At least, it will be in the book. Readers dig that shit. The hint of a complicated past with a dash of violence thrown in for good measure. Ideally, he\u2019d have broken it defending a small child or rescuing puppies. A combination of the two, perhaps? <\/span><\/p>\n Yes, it\u2019s a definite. Apart from the anger management issues, this guy is officially hot stuff. Not that I\u2019m after an actual love interest. Just inspiration for the hero of my next book. <\/span><\/p>\n Which is when it hits me\u2026big buff dude reveals surprisingly sensitive side to sexy single introverted neighbor during quarantine. Hmm. It has possibilities. I stop procrastinating and move onto the next pose, arms out in a T, legs wide, and a slow bend at the waist. I exhale, pondering the plot idea along with the thickness of his thighs. The way the denim lovingly embraces every inch of his musculature. It\u2019s like it\u2019s on a loop playing over and over in my head. Okay, maybe I\u2019m a little sex starved. He can feature in my masturbatory fantasies as well. After all, he\u2019s that kind of can-do, helpful guy. Or at least, he is in my mind. And that\u2019s where the man will stay. At a safe and appropriate distance. For both the virus and my heart.<\/span><\/p>\n \n \n About Kylie Scott<\/b><\/p>\n \n Connect with Kylie <\/b><\/p>\n Amazon: <\/span>https:\/\/amzn.to\/2XujcZh<\/span><\/a> \n About Audrey Carlan<\/b><\/p>\n Audrey Carlan is a #1 New York Times and International bestselling author.
