Welcome to Lizzie Starr, today's Egg-cerpt Exchange Author. In turn, I will be at her StarrWords blog with an excerpt from Worth The Risk by Lyn O'Farrell.
A search for truth, switched babies, and a threat from the past all conspire to destroy the love Birdie found with Garr and his daughter, Rachelle.
A search for truth, switched babies, and a threat from the past all conspire to destroy the love Birdie found with Garr and his daughter, Rachelle.
Birds Do It!
Macaws as lovebirds?
An avian expert, Birdie Simons is called to help control a cantankerous hyacinth macaw during a young girl’s birthday party. Inexorably drawn to each other, she and single father Garr Logan share an afternoon of joy and bittersweet memories, for Garr’s wife died the same day as Birdie’s newborn child.
Something about Rachelle makes Birdie wonder if the golden-haired girl is her daughter, switched at birth. Then her child’s father returns, dogging her search for understanding and throwing her deeper into fear and confusion.
Ready to move on after his wife’s death, Garr wants the intriguing woman, but Birdie keeps the search, threats and hidden relationships to herself, driving a wedge between them.
Will discovering the truth from nine years ago bring them closer, or forever tear them apart?

Short
excerpt
Her brows drawn together, Birdie eased the cage
door closed. “I know.” Her expression brightened. “Take off your shirt.”
Garr took a startled step back. Unfortunately,
this was not the time for his fantasies to come true. “I beg your pardon.”
“It’s your shirt. Do you wear a lot of blue?”
“Yes?” His response was slow, the word drawled
from his lips.
“Brutus is threatened by you. Birds have
excellent color vision and strong color sensitivity. Since he’s blue, when you
wear a blue shirt and tower over him, he gets scared. He’s not angry, he’s
frightened. Either take off your shirt, or get out of here.”
Garr liked hearing her order him to strip, it
brought wicked thoughts that had no place in a day filled with a child’s
birthday party. He tamped down his response and tried to ease the pressure of
his tight jeans as he pulled his shirt free. At her signal, he tossed the shirt
behind a chair.
Birdie stared at the expanse of male chest. Oh,
God, that was a mistake. The thick sprinkling of hair tapered to a thin line
down his flat abdomen, disappearing into the waistband of his jeans. Heat
flooded her chest and crawled up her neck to cover her face. Those jeans were
fuller than before, the tightness more pronounced over his...
