Cocky Origins (Cocker Brothers of Atlanta #19)

A period-piece novel to charm the pants right off of you...

New to the series? A prequel is a great place to start.

Fan of the series? Oh boy, are you going to love this.

Miss May Eloise Kearns meets for the very first time the young and oh-so-handsome Jerald Daniel Cocker, a submarine planesman for the Navy on special leave in Georgia, U.S.A., at the end of World War II.

True Love...where it all began.

FROM THE NOVEL:
Off to my left stands a pretty blonde with eyes of a clear summer’s day.
Somethin' special about her.
And she’s watching me.
It dawns on her that I’m staring back.
Hank taps my arm. “Jer!”
“What?”
“Gin.”
My distracted gaze drops to the spiked punch, and I push it away. “You go ahead. I think I might have a dance. Peter, what’s the name of the blonde?”
“Dunno.”
“I’m going to find out.”
As I walk across the gymnasium to say hello, we’re staring at each other, Ella Fitzgerald crooning in the background.
Pretty little thing. Can’t be taller than five-two.
That’s a whole foot and change shorter than I am.
Cute nose. And those parted lips.
They’re something else.
But nothing compares to those eyes, and that blue dress really makes them shine. The way she's staring at me as I stroll up disappears the entire room, her friends with it.
I start to smile, say hello.
She sways toward me.
Eyelashes fluttering closed.
Woopsiedaisies!
I catch her just in time.
I’ve got you.

Cocky Origins - a standalone full-length prequel - complete with glossary of 1940's slang, for the absolute fun of it.
