IRIS KELLY WAS desperate.
She paused on her parents’ front porch steps, the June sun feathering
evening light over the blue-painted wood, and took her phone out of her
pocket.
Tegan McKee was desperate.
She typed the words into her Notes app, staring at the blinking cursor.
“Desperate for what, you little minx?” she asked out loud, waiting for
something—anything that didn’t feel overdone and trite—to spill into her
brain, but nothing did. Her mind was a terrifying blank slate, nothing but
white noise. She deleted everything except the name.
Because that was all she had for her book. A name. A name she loved. A
name that felt right. A name that Tegan’s best friends shortened to Tea,
because of course they did, but a solitary name nonetheless. Which meant,
in terms of her second full-length romance novel—the very one her literary
agent was already up her ass about, that her publisher had already bought
and paid for, that her editor was expecting to land into her inbox in two
months’ time—Iris had nothing.
Which meant Iris Kelly was the one who was desperate.
She glanced up at her parents’ front door, dread clouding into her belly
and replacing the creative panic. Inside that house, she knew what awaited
her, and it wasn’t pretty. Her mother’s dentist, perhaps? No, no, her
gynecologist more likely.
Or, maybe, if Iris was really lucky, some poor sap
who wanted to be there even less than Iris—because Maeve Kelly was
nearly impossible to resist once she set her mind on something—and Iris
and the aforementioned sap could commiserate over the absurdity of their
situation.
Hell, maybe Iris could get some content out of it.
Tegan McKee was on a date. She hadn’t planned the date, nor did she
recall being asked out.
Iris froze with one foot on the step and opened up her Notes app again.
That actually wasn’t too bad . . .
“Honey?”
Iris dragged her eyes from that infernal blinking cursor—Why the hell
don’t you want to go on a date, Tegan?—and smiled at her mother and
father, now standing in the open doorway, arms around each other, marital
bliss causing their faces to glow in the summer light.
“Hey,” she said, tucking her phone away. “Happy birthday, Mom.”
“Thanks, sweetheart,” Maeve said, red and gray-streaked curls bouncing
into her face. She was a round woman, with soft arms and hips, and a hefty
bosom Iris herself had inherited.
“More gorgeous every year, she is,” Iris’s dad said, kissing his wife on
the cheek. Liam was tall and lithe, pale red hair ringing the shiny bald spot
on top of his head.
Maeve giggled, and then Iris watched as her parents started full-on
making out, which included a flash of Liam’s tongue and the definite, notso-surreptitious slide of his hand down Maeve’s ass.
“Jesus, you two,” Iris said, stomping up the stairs and averting her eyes.
“Can you give it a rest at least until I get in the house?”
