Good morning everyone!
Today we have Edie Heart as a guest on the blog to talk about one of her latest releases, One Bad Day.

Tessa is having one seriously bad day. After agreeing to dress as a cheesy mascot at a convention for her boss, her clothes get stolen, she gets chased through a sinister parking garage, and her apartment gets broken into and turned upside down.
Gray, an off-duty police officer, can’t resist the sexy legs he sees in costume at a hotel convention. When he catches sight of her running for her life through a dark car lot, he's determined to find out what her story is and ends up promising to keep Tessa safe...even if that means taking her home with him.
EXCERPT
Gray stepped outside of the hotel ballroom
hoping the air would be cooler out there. He hated stuffy gatherings. Hell, he
hated weddings. How two people could think they'd love each other forever was
beyond him. Gray didn't do love. Which was why he was stag at a co-worker's
wedding. He'd originally planned to invite Monique, but several months back
she'd become demanding and talked about moving into his place with hearts and
flowers in her eyes. So he'd ended it. Deep down, he'd known that she didn't
really want him. She wanted any warm body that would take care of her. She had
slowly been trying to mold him into some GQ tycoon, telling him what to wear,
how to act, and even going as far as telling him what he needed to do
career-wise.
A loud crash on the other side of the hall
caught Gray's attention. In the open ballroom across the way he saw legs.
Glorious legs in strappy high heels. The beautiful legs were tangled on the
floor and attached to an ass that was just as gorgeous. After taking a closer
look, Gray realized that above the amazing ass was an enormous, white light
bulb-shaped head with blue googly eyes. It had blonde hair and wore a glittery
purple hat. The tangled-up legs and heels were flailing around in a pile of
what looked like empty light bulb boxes. Several gentlemen nearby were quick to
help Legs get her feet beneath her. From their smiles and laughter he could
tell that they were all quite happy to be of assistance. Gray didn't blame
them.
He watched Legs find her balance in those
high heels, and with a little wiggle and tug of her skirt she went on her way.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Edie Hart was born in the Northwest suburbs
of Chicago, where she now resides with her husband, two children, dog, and
three cats. After spending her childhood making up stories in her head, she
finally decided to put them on paper. What came of it was her first novella,
One Bad Day. Edie is a die-hard romantic and believes that everyone deserves to
be loved unconditionally—both in print and real life.
Edie also admits that "Edie Hart"
is a pen name and an alter ego to an otherwise boring wife and mother. Edie is
20 pounds lighter, loves to skydive, travels to foreign places, and is a total
sex kitten as compared to the uninteresting other half who is none of those
things.
In reality the counterpart of Edie is a
lackluster 40-something-year-old, whose main goal is to keep The Big One (The
Boy) from torturing The Little One (The Girl). This week he hit her in the head
with a 12-pack of Juicy Juice. Last week he left ravioli handprints on the back
of her white T-shirt. The week before that he told her she was adopted and she
believed him.

The Big One and The Little One are up to, visit her via her website, Facebook,
