The Perfect Match: A New Adult Erotic Romance (Inseparable Book 2) Read online

  “Kurt? Who is it, sha?” Noëlle yelled from inside the house. Polly let him go as she straightened her clothes, but Kurt was already making a tent out of his shorts.

  “It’s Polly, Mama,” Kurt said as he reached into his shorts to adjust himself with a grin.

  “Oh, good,” she said as she appeared from the kitchen. “Come in and have some breakfast.”

  “I’m sorry, I ate with the kids this morning, but I’d love a cup of coffee if you have some brewed.”

  “Of course, come in and visit while the boys finish loadin’ up the truck.” She returned into the kitchen and Polly followed.

  The home was lovely and neat, but most things were old or had been obviously repaired. The kitchen had an antique gas stove made out of white enamel with a stainless steel percolator warming on one of the burners. Noëlle got a china cup and saucer from the cabinet and poured the aromatic coffee into it.

  “You and Charlotte looked so lovely last night,” Noëlle said as she handed Polly the coffee. “There’s sugar and cream on the table.” The table was chrome and formica like something from an old diner.

  “Thanks,” Polly took a seat and Noëlle joined her with a sigh. “Are you doing okay?”

  “My son is moving out and my daughter will be soon,” Noëlle said. Polly could see her face shifting as she tried to control herself. “It’s harder than I thought it would be.”

  Polly felt uncomfortable as she tried to think of something to say. “Is there anything can I do?”

  “No, sha,” she said as she stared into her cup. “This is just part of life. When you and Kurt have a family, this day will come for you, too.”

  Polly felt the heat rise in her face and nodded, “Someday.”

  They talked for a while about jobs and plans for the future, but Noëlle never lost the sad look in her eyes.

  Kurt and Christopher eventually came back in the kitchen laughing. “We’re done! Mama, give me a kiss and we’ll get out of your hair.”

  His mother wiped her eyes and stood up. “If you don’t come see me in a week or two, I’m just gonna show up in Houston.”

  “I gotta come do some stuff for Uncle Charlie next week. How ’bout I take you to lunch?”

  She hugged him tight and kissed his cheek. “It’s a date.” She turned to Polly and said, “Check with your parents and see when they might have a free Saturday night.”

  “I will,” she said and kissed Noëlle on the cheek.

  With Christopher and Charlotte saying a tense goodbye, Polly put her suitcase in the rental truck and climbed in the passenger seat while Kurt hugged his parents one more time. After climbing in the drivers seat, he started the engine and quoted, “She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, kid.”

  Snuggling up to him with a laugh, she said, “Take me home.”

  “With you beside me, I’m already there.”

  About the Publisher

  To self-publish or not to self-publish, that is the question. The good news: whatever you decide, we’re here to support you.

  You might not want to deal with the hassle of being your own publisher. It can be hard to find a good cover designer, to deal with formatting and publishing, to decide what promotions are most cost-effective. Not everybody wants total control over every detail – you want to write, and let the publisher do the rest.

  The problem is that most traditional publishers pay out 15-25% of royalties, and even digital-only publishers only pay 35% of net royalties. Some vanity digital publishers make you pay them for “publishing packages” and then still take royalties from you. And most publishers depend on their authors to do promotion and marketing, or worse: force authors into ineffectual promotional tactics like blog tours.

  We think that sucks. We want a publisher with good royalties and author-friendly contract terms. A publisher who gives us control when we want it, and who takes the reins when we get overwhelmed with options. A publisher who knows how to sell our books and who isn’t out to screw their authors for a dime.

  Well, we couldn’t find that publisher, so we decided to do it ourselves. PubYourself has long been dedicated to helping authors self-publish – if you want to self-publish and do everything yourself, we give you the tools and support to do it! But if you don’t want to do it on your own right now, or if you decide your time is better spent writing, let us publish your book!
