Six Sentence Sunday

Christa after listening to her brother preach against hanging out alone with the new guy in the neighborhood.

 

"If you want the truth, I found him on the road several hours ago, and we’ve been having wild-bunny sex in his camper ever since. We did it on his bed and in his little bitty shower, and you should see what he can do on a table or against the wall.”

Kip’s right eye twitched as it always did when he’d gone too far. “You wouldn’t sleep with someone you just met.” 

“Did I say we slept? You must have misheard me."

“Your electricity’s here…along with a welcoming party.” She gestured out the window at the packed truck.

He pushed the curtain aside to get a better view and then slid from the booth. “Come on then. Introduce me.”

Chris caught his hand as he reached for the door. “Jake.” She didn’t quite know how to explain her brothers to him, but he seemed to understand her predicament.

“What? They can’t be that bad.” The humor in his eyes made her relax.

“You haven’t met them yet. You may not think that when they grill you about your life. My brothers don’t always understand subtle or private.”

Jake leaned close and dropped a quick kiss on her cheek. “Shall we give them something to question me about?” His words came out husky and desire filled, but she could hear the underlying laughter.

For a moment she thought about calling his bluff, but the thought of a two hour lecture from Kip held her back. “I should say yes to watch you squirm, but I can’t do that to you. No one should have to fulfill a bluff in front of the boys. They’d eat you alive and ask for dessert.”

He opened the door to allow her to step down but caught her arm as she passed him and grinned. “I wasn’t bluffing,” he whispered before he turned her to face the others.

Laughing she shook off his hand and raced ahead. Just before she reached her brothers, she turned to walk backward. “Neither was I!”

Unspoken Promises

Now Available - I think

Decadent Publishing has a new Western Escape line and I am proud to have written a short little freebie to get things started - sort of a pre-launch appetizer. Ann Mayburn's Diamond Heart is the official kickoff and will be available Feb. 15th. If I understand it correctly, this will be offered as a gift with purchase but is available as a giveaway otherwise.

Isn't the cowboy a cutie? His name is Treynor and he's a Wyoming HP.

Blurb:

Billie Jensen hates liars and cheats. She’s spent her entire life watching her mother forgive the unforgivable with just a few words from a smooth-talking man. So different from her father, Officer Treynor Pandoah seems like everything Bille has ever wanted—quiet, solid, and truthful—until he snuggles up to another woman on Valentine’s Day. He says her eyes lied, but how can she trust a man who won’t share what’s in his heart?

Treynor’s done waiting for Billie to forgive him for something he didn’t do. A man shouldn’t have to explain himself to the woman he loves, but if he can’t find the words to take the tears from her eyes, he could lose her to Unspoken Promises.

Paranormal Romantics: Finding Inspiration in Song by Becca Dale

Paranormal Romantics: Finding Inspiration in Song by Becca Dale

Coming Soon!

Savannah Jensen’s well-planned life offers everything a woman could want except a driving passion to override self-imposed rules. At twenty-nine, the clock isn’t screaming, but it has begun to tick loudly, so when a friend convinces her to attend a bridal blow-out sale, she’s not exactly excited about the reminder that she is alone, especially when a gorgeous man sweeps her into a sensual dance that threatens everything she has ever believed in.

Gavin Ferguson doesn’t believe love exists, but when he picks up the tuxedos for his sister’s wedding, fate, lust, and the family curse throw him a curve. Suddenly, he longs to convince the beautiful woman in ivory that she should be his—at least until he can sate the sexual fire she ignites. Yet, distrust born of disappointment and betrayal insists he protect his heart from the lie of perpetual happiness shining in her eyes.

Once Savannah and Gavin dance, raw desire, too hot to ignore, sweeps them toward insanity with nothing to cling to except sweet restraint.

Six Sentence Sunday

Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday and a snippet from Heart Desires.

"Everyone with a clear view of our seats is sleeping.” The quiet plane meant he
might get to follow through. A seven a.m. flight guaranteed that most had been up way
earlier than usual. “You can still back out. Nothing you don’t want, angel.”

The male flight attendant stopped to glare, before putting his hand on the back of the
seat and leaning in to whisper, “I’m sorry, sir, but whatever you’re thinking about doing
under that blanket…don’t.”

Inspiration for Heart Desires

Old school but catchy. This song came to me when I was plotting Heart Desires. No idea why as it is more my big brother's generation than mine, and trust me he would have never listened to the BGs. It's one of those songs that gets in your head and won't go away though, so I gift it to all of you.

“You’ll have to be my eyes.” Cupping her right breast in his palm, he circled the tip with his thumb. “What color are your nipples?”

Going without a bra had been a really bad idea. The thin cotton of her T-shirt provided little barrier between her sensitive flesh and his calloused fingers. Her nipples puckered uncomfortably taut. “Do you really expect me to answer that?”

“Yes. Unless you’d rather I pulled back the blanket and took a peek myself.” His hand slipped away and tugged at the hem of her shirt, pushing it upward in tiny increments that did not disturb their covering. “Tell me their size, too. Do they cover the tops of your sweet little tits or are they tiny like chocolate kisses made to melt in a man’s mouth?”

***

Blurb: Devlynn Connors doesn’t trust her own ability to find a man who isn’t a control freak, but when she turns her future over to her friends and Madame Eve, she fears nothing will change.

When he flies to Las Vegas for a 1Night Stand hook-up, First Lieutenant Stephan Erikson isn’t looking for love. He’s looking to appease his sister’s fear that he will end up alone. A man can do anything for one night, right?

Can Madame Eve overcome misinformation and misperceptions or will Devlynn and the Lieutenant go home alone?

Great Review from Siren's Song Reviews

Full Review

"I love being quite literally thrust into a good story! Luca was by far my favorite character.  She was strong and accepting and hadn’t been tainted with bitterness because of her inability to see. She was the very essence of innocence, with a whole lot of sass and courage.  That mixed in with her abilities made her a fascinating character"

Weekend Dirty Dozen - An independent release

Available from Amazon

The Weekend Dirty Dozen.
   He lifted his chocolate gaze before he blew softly over the sensitive folds, so eager for his kiss.
   Shifting her hips, she instinctively reached for the man she’d secretly loved for too long. His wicked smile flashed, but he did not move closer. “Just killing time, or are you planning to do something while you’re down there, crazy man?”
   “Thinking about it.” His grin broadened and his fingers feathered over her heated skin, teasing but never really touching. “Why? Did you have something in mind?”
   She groaned. If he didn’t touch her soon, she’d lose it before they even began. “You were showing me why you want me, remember?”
   “I was, wasn’t I?”

Blurb:
Distrustful of life and love, Gabriel Rivers looks for a fight everywhere he goes, but he prefers Micki’s Bar where the tequila is aged and the dumb asses are plentiful. The eye candy provided by the bar owner is simply a distracting bonus that soothes the ever present rage. Mick’s curves and snarky comments offer a contentment, longed for yet forbidden.

For five years Michaela Neal has watched her friend attempt to self-destruct, yanking his gorgeous butt from the fire and bandaging his wounds as needed. When she finally gives into her desires and offers herself to Gabe’s dark-eyes and rough hands, she never expects him to hurt her despite his cynical outlook.

Pain and misunderstanding drive a wedge between Gabe and the one perfect thing in his life. Can he summon the courage to cast off wrath’s comforting cloak and embrace happiness before fate takes away his options?

Weekend Dirty Dozen

I have joined the Weekend Dirty Dozen on Facebook. What does that mean exactly? Well, a group of authors will post a dozen sentences from either a work in progress or a published piece for your enjoyment each week. The Weekend Dozen will remain on the individual author's blogs from Friday through Sunday, so be sure to check them all out. You should be able to read back though my past weeks once I get rolling as I never remember to delete anything. Today's entry is 12 lines from Untamable - a hot erotic cowboy tale of love lost to misunderstanding and of course regained - it is romance after all. We assume the HEA but the fun comes in the ride and who better to ride with than a bronco buster? Yee-haw and saddle up!

“Stop running from me, Lily.” His beautiful amber eyes almost glowed as he closed in. His chest brushed against hers. Heat radiated from him as it always did, her personal heater on a cold winter day. Her personal hell when she tried to resist him.

“Let me go.”

“No. We’re done doing things your way.”

A delicious shiver shimmied down her back at his commanding tone. If only she could turn everything over to him. If only things were that easy.

 
“No more pretending you don’t want me.”
