Today’s Wednesday Wonders
features Elaine Cantrell and her contemporary romance, The Captain and the Cheerleader.
Book Description:
Susan English can’t
stand Robin Lanford! She’s so full of herself she irritates everyone on the
faculty of Fairfield High. When Robin bets Susan fifty dollars that she can’t
get a date with Kurt Deveraux, the head football coach, Susan jumps at the
chance to put the little heifer in her place. She had no idea that teaching
Robin a lesson would irrevocably change her life, strain treasured friendships,
and throw two families into chaos.
Excerpt:
Susan bounced out of
her car with a smile on her face. Usually she dreaded Monday morning, but not
today. Today she felt better, and she’d have that talk with Kurt. On the way to
her mailbox in the faculty lounge, she mentally rehearsed what she would say
when Kurt asked to see her again. Turning the corner into the room, she was
greeted by a roomful of teachers, about half of whom clapped and cheered her
arrival.
Don Brooks laughed
and handed her an envelope. “We’ve been waiting for you. We hear that you won
some money over the weekend.”
“I told them you went
out with him on Saturday,” Melissa explained.
Robin appraised Susan
with a gleam in her eyes. “I underestimated you, Susan. How did you do it?”
Susan shrugged. “I
let him know I was interested. He did the rest.”
“Well, I guess you deserve
to win.”
Susan handed the
envelope back to Don. “I don’t want anyone’s money. I wish I’d never made that
stupid bet, and I
don’t want any part of it. Just take your money back.”
“No, you won it fair
and square,” insisted Robin. “Take it.”
“I won’t do that,
Robin.”
Kurt arrived just in
time to hear Susan’s answer. “Won’t do what?” he asked as he stepped into the
lounge and approached her side. He had a nice little smile on his face that
made her think he was glad to see her.
The air in the lounge
turned positively electric.
