Block 24 CoverTitle: Block 24
Author: Evan Tyler
Genre: Contemporary/Historical

Book description:

A re-emergence of the past…

Natalie Clarke might be spiteful at best and vicious at worst, but was that reason enough for Phillip Gise to leave her lonely and diseased? Fortunately, she has a set of devious plans that just might keep her busy enough to forget her present situation.

Guy Lewis has played Best Friend Extraordinaire to Natalie since grade school, supporting her through all of her daily drama. This time around, Guy runs into his own troubles when his fierce, wealthy manager gives him the type of attention he never asked for…or expected.

Julia Clarke, Natalie’s younger sister, has arrived in Brooklyn to uncover their grandmother’s secret life in Block 24, the site of Auschwitz’s little-known brothel. What Julia discovers proves more relevant in the present age than ever before.

Both heady and sobering, Block 24 is a look at the ways evil from the past can so insidiously visit the present.

An exclusive excerpt from Block 24:

“Did you just say Brangelina?” he asked, laughing and shaking his head. He caressed her lower legs. “What are you—a Star! news reporter?”

“And if I was?” she asked, reaching forward, grabbing the center of his collared shirt, pretending as though she would rough him up. She smiled. “Brangelina’ is a very efficient term. Saves a lot of syllables. It’s genius, really.”

He grabbed the center of her blouse, drawing her even closer. She could feel his soft breath on her lips. “So, what would that make us?” he whispered. “’Natlip?’”

She grinned, staring at his lips. “No. That would make us ‘Phatalie.’”

He squeezed his eyes shut, laughing quietly. He let go of her shirt and clutched her lower back. “I like that, baby. It’s got potential.

Her stomach fluttered. It was the first time he had called her baby, and he said it with the Johnny Depp deep, lazy voice that made her toes curl in her sneakers. Plus, if she wasn’t mistaken, his use of “potential” referred to more than a hybrid name.

“That’s right,” said Natalie. “It’s gonna be ‘Phatalie. Because we’re phat. P-H-A-T. Pretty Hot And Tempting.”

He tickled her waist. “Did you just quote a movie?”

“Yep. Money Talks. It’s the one with Charlie Sheen.” She rubbed her hands quickly up and down his cheeks, as though she were warming his bare face. “My mom took Guy and I to see it when we were younger.”

“Guy?” He circled her wrists loosely and clapped her hands together. “Who’s that?”

“He’s my best friend.”

Philip nodded, looking down at her legs. After a moment’s silence, he looked back up. “So, you quote movies with ease, eh?”

“I do a lot of things with ease,” she returned, moving his hands to her thighs.

He took a deep breath and ran his tongue over his lips. “I’m sure.” He slid his hands from her thighs to her ankles, a safer region.

Natalie wondered what he was trying to do…or avoid doing. For the sake of her pride, she retreated. “I would tell you what I do with ease,” she said before turning on a pitiful Jack Nicholson impersonation,“but you can’t handle the truth.”
