Excerpt #1 – To Have and to Hold
Grabbing a Lakers cap
from the backseat, I shove it on my head and race into the main entrance, Jared
at my heels. The guy at security asks for my identification, which I hand him.
Jared turns his over to the other security guy.
After checking my
face against the photo, he asks, “Who are you visiting today, Mr. Manchester?”
“Rose Morgan, I mean
Bloomer.”
He nods and flips
some pages. I tap a beat on my leg. Hurry up. He glances at the
clock on the wall and says, “I’ll clear you, but you only have twenty minutes
before visiting hours are over.”
Jared gets his
clearance as I’m retrieving my driver’s license. We sprint through the lobby to
the elevator. I repeatedly press the call button. Finally, a cab arrives and
whisks us up to the fifth-floor lobby. Her floor.
Roberto stands when
he sees us. I wave at him, but don’t have time to check in. I run to the small
security booth at the entrance to the restricted wing. This officer checks my
pass from the first checkpoint, makes a notation on it and nods. He presses a
button and the door buzzes open. As soon as it’s almost wide enough, I rush
down the hall and come to a halt outside her door.
The door is open. Pop
music plays softly in the room.
For some reason, now
that I’m here, I can’t put one foot in front of another to cross the threshold.
It’s like I’ve been turned to stone, and only my rapidly beating heart
distinguishes me from one of those marble statues in the Tuileries. I want to
see her so badly. But, I don’t want her to be lying lifeless on a hospital bed.
I want my Rose back.
Over the PA system, a
woman announces fifteen minutes until the end of visiting hours. I need to go
to my girlfriend and talk to her, even if I’m the only one doing the talking.
Inhaling, I step through the door.
And freeze.
Facing the windows by
the bed, a woman with long, limp brown hair is standing with her back to me.
Her leg’s in a cast. She’s dancing. Well, sort of.
“Rose?”
The woman turns
around.
Holy. Fuck.

From the outside, Cole Manchester seems to have it all: looks, fame, money, awards and women. When tragedy strikes, he realizes how hollow his life is, and opens the door to the one thing he’s never considered … finding love. He’s inexplicably drawn to the quiet wallflower who works on his team, a line he knows he shouldn’t cross.
After devastating heartbreaks, all Rose Morgan wants is to blend into the woodwork. Working at her dream job as a publicist, she’s safely hiding in plain sight. Until her client, the sexy Cole Manchester, notices her. Rose must ignore her desires in order to protect her bruised heart … and keep her prized career.
Cole needs Rose to teach him how to love. Rose needs Cole to teach her how to trust. Together, they form a bond ignited by passion but fueled by insecurities. When her mother’s interference collides with his fan’s twisted plot, Cole and Rose may find themselves with No One To Hold.

About Arell Rivers
For as long as I can remember, I have been lost in a book. During my senior year in college, I picked up a Danielle Steel novel … and instantly was hooked on romance.I started writing my first novel, No One to Hold, because the characters were screaming at me to do so. The story started coming out in my dreams and attacking me in the shower, so I took to the computer to shut them up. But they kept talking.
Born and raised in New Jersey, I have what some may call a “checkered past.” Prior to discovering my passion for writing romance, I practiced law, was a wedding and event planner and even dabbled in marketing. I live with a very supportive husband and two mischievous cats. When not in my writing cave, I can be found making dinner in the crock pot, working out with Shaun T or hitting the beach.
I hope you enjoy my stories about driven men, strong women and the passions that ignite!
