Robin Covington – Guest Post & Giveaway
The Boys: Jackson, Lucky, Teague, and Beck.
These are the kind of men every southern daddy hopes never catch the eye of their daughters. Lifelong friends, born and raised in the small town of Elliott, VA, they left town the minute the ink was dry on their high school diplomas and made lives of their own choosing far away.
None of them ever planned to return.
But, fate has brought them home to confront their demons, re-evaluate the past, and find their future in the women who can finally make it all make sense.
My latest release, His Southern Temptation, is Lucky’s book. A former Black Ops assassin, he’s come home to outrun the demons that chase him even in his dreams. All he wants is to settle down on the family farm and find a woman to share his life with. He even knows the woman he wants but she’s half a world away and isn’t returning home any time soon—a slight problem.
Oh…and she’s his best friends little sister.
And, then she comes back to town.
Lucky and his dream woman—Taylor— have been on again and off again lovers for a number of years but never in Elliott. They’ve never told her brother Teague but secrets are really hard to keep in a small town. And Lucky isn’t sure he wants to keep the secret any longer. He wants Taylor—out in the open and part of his life.
But, how do you tell your best friend that you’ve been sleeping with his baby sister?
Here are some ideas:
1. A singing telegram: Everyone loves a good song and if you can get their favorite artist to sing it for them? Bonus!
2. Put it on a t-shirt: You can never have too many t-shirts.
3. Put it on a big sign/billboard/jumbotron: Most people are not going to kill you with all those witnesses at a large sports event and if you rent one of the big signs outside of church, they’ll feel too guilty to take you out. And, they’ll have to forgive you.
4. Put it in a fortune cookie: This will only work if you can actually eat while knowing you’re going to drop the bomb. If you can’t wait, have dessert first.
5. Give them REALLY bad news and then slip this one in after: Once you’ve told them that there is a zombie apocalypse and their entire family s dead, the rest is easy peasy.
Now, Lucky didn’t use any of these methods but he probably wished he had. ; )
Thanks for having me here today! Robin

His Southern Temptation Excerpt
She was tall, her length stretched out under most of his six foot three inch frame even with their legs tangled together. And Lucky could feel every inch of her long, silky-skinned limbs as they extended out of the sexiest, tiniest pair of boy shorts ever sold without a warning label. Those shorts, coupled with the tiny tank top, left absolutely everything to fuel his imagination.
Damn, she smelled good too. From where his face rested in the crook between her face and her shoulder he was enveloped in the combination of coconut and a sharp, exotic floral scent. Their exertion had caused the unique combination to intensify, and he couldn’t resist taking one last deep breath and dragging it in. It reminded him of the beach, long summer days, and suntan oil.
“Are we going to lie here all night?” Her voice was breathy, but she maintained a healthy edge of “kiss my ass” in the delivery.
“Nope. Only until the sheriff arrives and he confiscates the gun you tried to kill me with.”
“I didn’t try to kill you.”
“Sugar, if you point a gun at me you better be prepared to—” Lucky lifted his head to get a good look at his would-be-assassin, and the shock of her identity hit him between the eyes, swirled around for a bit and melted his brain. The hair was different, shorter and colored in broad stripes of blonde and darkest brown, but he’d know those eyes anywhere—hazel with all the colors of autumn on the mountain—just like her brother Teague. Just like all the Elliotts.
“Holy shit. Taylor?”
“Lucky?”
“What the hell are you doing here?” Shock, instant remorse at the way he’d tackled her, and the crazy need to touch her threaded together in his mind in a confusing jumble of conflicting desires. The only clear thought was that Taylor was here—in the flesh— after two long years. He didn’t even mind his hands shaking as he released her arms from over her head, trailing his fingers down one smooth cheek, and finally stopping to cup her jaw in a light grip that forced her to maintain eye contact. Not that he needed to—her gaze never wavered from his. The warmth of welcome and the edge of heat in her expression made his fingertips tingle where they stroked her skin. “The last time I saw you in Elliott, you were stealing my car.”
