Freedom isn’t free.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Staff Sergeant Austin
Chandler learned this lesson well. Dealing with the devastating truth that his
military career is over, he is discharged from the Marines and returns home
from fighting the war in Afghanistan with battle scars he fears will never
heal. But the truth is a bitter pill to swallow when he arrives at the airport
and realizes his wife has abandoned him when he needed her the most. Broken in
body as well as in spirit, Austin suffers not only from the slow-healing scars
on his back, but also the wounds that her desertion has left on his troubled
heart.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Until a chance
encounter with a beautiful artist leaves him wondering if perhaps some things
are meant to be. Trisha Morgan has secrets she is desperately wants to hide. With
a troubled past and abandonment issues of her own, she fears love only leads to
rejection and pain.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But can two wounded
souls break through the battered barriers of each other’s hearts?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Damaged Excerpt</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trisha had thought
that she would never see him again. Even though he wasn’t hers, he had never
been hers; she had always thought of him as her marine.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That airplane flight
to Texas had changed her life for the better. It had opened her eyes, in more
ways than one. Because of him, she had realized that she had never truly loved
Ty and she never would have been good enough for him. Or for his family.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trisha Morgan had
often fantasized about what would happen if she ran across the tall,
broad-shouldered, good-looking Marine again. They had had an instant
connection, they had both felt it. But since both of them had been attached,
nothing more than a new friendship could evolve between the two of them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Austin Chandler
walking in on her while she was as naked as the day she was born was not one of
the many scenarios that she had envisioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wet skin. Long legs
that seemed to go on forever. Waxed bikini line. Delicately-painted red
toenails. Pink-tinged, erect nipples. Large, full breasts still wet from a
recent shower. Small droplets of water that he could lick off drop by delicious
drop.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She shrieked with
surprise, her hands drawing her towel even tighter around her shaking body.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A sudden thought
occurred to her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He wasn’t wearing a
ring.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She screamed the
sound sharp enough to shatter glass. Wrapping a fluffy, blue towel around her
slender body, she paused, apparently not knowing what to say.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Austin was
finally able to raise his eyes from admiring her ass…ets, his dark brown gaze
slowly travelled up her perfectly proportioned body before focusing on her
flushed, embarrassed face. It was her. The girl from the plane over three years
ago.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Their eyes met and
time seemed to stand still. This was fate, destiny, kismet.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trisha stood there
trembling. She had imagined this moment for so long, yet when it finally came,
it was nothing like she had expected. She had never been one of those girls who
hopped into the nearest bed with a complete and total stranger.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But Austin wasn’t a
stranger, she struggled to remind herself. She had met him before. He was her
hero, her knight in camouflage. He was her marine. She smiled. She wondered how
he would feel if she were to confess that little secret to him. Would he be
upset or would he be flattered?<o:p></o:p></div>

A small hint of a
smile played on her lips and he dropped his duffel bag onto the ugly, stained
orange carpet of the hotel room floor. He had dreamed of this moment, he had
longed for it. He had longed for her. On the bed, against the wall, on the tile
of the bathroom shower stall, any way he could have her.<b><o:p></o:p></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><strong>Going Deep – To the heart of the story.</strong><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Brooke Hastings almost won a Pulitzer Prize for her hard-hitting reportage.
Now she’s sitting on the story of a lifetime and wants to prove she’s not a one-hit-wonder.
But in order to get the world to take notice, she’ll need the help of the one
person she loves to hate—Brian Dalton.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Brian Dalton stumbled into celebrity when he landed a show on the Earth
Channel. But the hunky marine biologist never forgot the serious, studious boy
who left Mobile a decade before. Now back in Alabama, he’s looking for the
quiet life he always wanted and hoping for a chance with the girl he always
loved. When Brooke asks him to help expose some of the lingering effects of the
Gulf oil disaster, Brian jumps at the chance to help preserve the place both
call home…<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">By day Maggie Wells is buried in spreadsheets. At
night she pens tales of people tangling up the sheets. She'll tell you she's a
deep down dirty girl, but you only have to scratch the surface of this
mild-mannered married lady to find a naughty streak a mile wide. The product of
a charming rogue and a shameless flirt, she just can't help herself... <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-weight: normal;">For baseball superstar
Garrett Donovan, his contract with the New York Empire baseball team meant he’d
finally have the means to secure a future for his family. He should focus on
that…not on the sassy, beautiful Jessa Montgomery — or what she looks like
naked. Getting involved with the daughter of the Empire’s owner would be career
suicide. Jessa is a distraction he can’t afford.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Her father had warned her
never to get involved with his athletes, so his request that she keep an eye on
his new star player came straight out of left field. The last thing Jessa needs
is another spoiled, egotistical ball player to deal with. But Garrett is none
of those things. His no-nonsense attitude and smooth Southern charm make her blood
burn and her knees weak. Giving into temptation, she is consumed by the
pleasure she finds in Garrett’s arms. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i>Hi, my darlings! I'm excited to have my dear friend Emilia Mancini (aka, Marci) here today. Please make her feel welcome!</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<i>~~~~~~~~~</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
Parker! Thank you for letting me
join you today.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
As many of you probably know, Marci
Boudreaux and Emilia Mancini are two sides to the same coin. Emilia is a wee
bit (and by that I mean a lot) naughtier than Marci.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
Separating the two can be difficult
though. When I’m writing for Emilia, I don’t just like to have hot sex, I like
to have lots of it! If you’ve read <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Seducing-Kate-Emilia-Mancini-ebook/dp/B00U30U6SS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8" target="_blank">Seducing Kate</a> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rebound-Emilia-Mancini-ebook/dp/B007QPOT2C/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8" target="_blank">The Rebound</a>, you probably
know there are far more pages with sex than without.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
I have to tone that down a bit for
Marci’s books. I can’t quite claim they are the traditionally “sweet” romances
where sex is behind closed doors, but the sex in these books definitely don’t
reach the Emilia Mancini level.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
In The Road Leads Back, sex doesn’t
happen until nearly the end. WHAT? Yeah, I know!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
But it is definitely worth the wait.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
Harry and Kara never quite got over
each other after spending one night together in high school. Harry had always
saved a piece of his heart for Kara, while she’d been waiting almost thirty
years to give him a piece of her mind for walking out on her without a word
before she could tell him she was pregnant. Once they clear the air and realize
they’d both been lied to all that time, they can start trying to pick up where
they left off.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
I really like all the layers to this
story, and I hope you do as well. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Kara Martinson and
Harry Canton weren’t exactly high school sweethearts, but they did share
one night neither will ever forget. Twenty-seven years later, Harry surprises
Kara at an art gallery opening and discovers he left her with more than just
memories when he went away to college. Desperate to connect with the family he
never knew existed, Harry convinces his son to move to Stonehill—and pleads
with Kara to come, too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 10.6pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 10.6pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Kara hasn’t stepped
foot in their hometown since the day she was sent away to a home for unwed
mothers. Now Harry’s back in her life and as they put together the pieces of
their parents’ betrayal, old heartaches start to feel anew. She wants to be
near her family, but returning to Iowa means facing some things…and some
people…she isn’t quite ready to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 10.6pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 10.6pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Can Harry convince her
to forgive the people who betrayed her so they can embrace the future they were
robbed of so long ago? Or will the pain of the past be too much for Kara to
overcome?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Excerpt:</span><br />
<span style="text-indent: 0in;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-indent: 0in;">Kara squeezed her way toward the
crowded bar, nudging between two kids who she couldn’t quite believe were old
enough to be legally drinking in public. Shouldn’t they be funneling cheap beer
in a college dorm somewhere? Or sneaking shots from Daddy’s liquor cabinet?</span><br />
<br />
Art gallery openings used to be much
more sophisticated than this. When she was a young artist, openings were about
appreciating the art and the artist, not the free booze.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span></i>
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Shit.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Had she really gone there? Kara shook
her head at her bitter thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">The bartender, a walking tattoo with
spiked black hair, leaned close so she could hear him. “What’ll it be?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">She realized all she wanted was wine.
And quiet. The kids around her were acting more like pre-teens jacked up on
sugar than art aficionados. One made a face, squished and reddened, as he held
up an empty shot glass as proof of his triumph.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">She wondered when she had gotten so
damned old. She never used to snub her nose at a good drink. Actually, she
completely understood what her problem was, and it had nothing to do with age.
She’d conformed. She’d fallen into line. She’d done what she was supposed to
do. Agent? Check. Gallery opening? Check. Interviews with all the local
fancy-pants magazines? Check.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">But this wasn’t her. None of this was
her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Frowning, she leaned in as well,
making sure he heard her over the jeering of the kids next to her. </span><br />
“Tequila.”
Within seconds he set a glass in front of her and filled it with amber liquid.
He started to walk away but she held up one hand and lifted the glass with the
other. She downed the drink, slammed the glass down, and gestured for
another—one shot wasn’t nearly enough to numb the misery of this evening.<br />
<br />
The young man lifted his brows and
smirked as he gave her another shot. He laughed as she motioned for him to
fill the glass a third time. “I can’t do this all night, lady.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“One more.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Some of the crap in here costs more
than my car. No puking. Got it?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">

<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Kara chuckled. Clearly he didn’t
recognize her as the artist who had made the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">crap</i>. “Honey, I was doing tequila shots before your daddy dropped
his pants and made you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">The barkeep threw his head back and
laughed, then filled her glass one more time. “Nice one, babe.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span></i>
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Babe</span></i><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">? Kara
snorted as she lifted the glass. It was almost to her lips when a hand squeezed
her shoulder.</span><br />
<br />
“Kara?” asked a deep, smooth voice as if the
man wasn’t certain who he was touching.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">She turned. Her eyes bulged as she
looked into an intense dark gaze she hadn’t seen since the night she’d lost her
virginity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">The music had been loud, the beer
lukewarm, and everybody who was anybody—and several nobody’s like Kara and
Harry—in their senior class of Stonehill High was at the graduation party. The
only person she had cared about, though, didn’t care about her. Or so she’d
thought. Until she’d somehow ended up on Shannon Blake’s disgustingly pink- and
ruffle-covered bed with Harry Canton, book club president and algebra
superstar, clumsily removing her clothes, leaving slobbery kisses in their
wake.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Kara swallowed hard as the flash of a
memory faded, and the man standing before her, looking as shocked as she felt,
came back into view.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">She downed the liquor, slammed the
glass against the bar, and sighed before she announced, “I’ve been looking for
you for twenty-seven years.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">He sank onto the vacant stool next to
her and lifted his hands as if he were at a loss for words. Something that
appeared to be guilt filled his eyes and made his full lips sag into a frown.
She’d be damned if temptation didn’t hit her as hard as it had when she was a
hormonal teen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“I wanted to tell you I was leaving,”
he said, “but I didn’t know how.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“You should have tried something like,
‘Kara, I’m leaving.’”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“You’re right. But I was a kid. I
didn’t have a lot of common sense. All I could think about was how I finally
had my freedom.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">She tilted her head and narrowed her
eyes at him. “You had your freedom? You selfish prick.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">His eyes widened. “Well, that might be
a little harsh. I was just a kid, Kara. Yes, I should have told you I had no
intention of staying with you, but I was a little overwhelmed by what had
happened. I’m sorry.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“You’re <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sorry?</i>” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Harry’s shoulders slumped, as if he
had given up justifying sneaking out on her in the middle of the night. “Look,
I saw a flier for your gallery opening, and I wanted to say hello. I thought
maybe… I don’t know what I was thinking.” He sounded hurt, dejected even. “I
didn’t mean to upset you.”</span><br />
<br />
He stood. She put her hand to his
chest and shoved him back onto the barstool. The move instantly reminded of her
their one night together. All of seventeen and totally inexperienced, she’d
fancied herself a seductress and pushed him on the bed before straddling his
hips like she had a clue what she was doing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Touching his chest now, warmth
radiated through her entire body. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">She glared, pulling her hand away and
squeezing her fingers into a fist. “Are you living in Seattle?”</span><br />
<br />
He shook his head. “I had a conference
in town. There were fliers at the hotel. As soon as I saw your picture, I knew
I had to come.” His smile returned and excitement oozed from his face. “I can’t
believe you have a gallery opening. This is amazing, Kare.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">She wasn’t nearly as thrilled by her
accomplishment as he seemed to be. She felt like she was selling her soul
instead of her art. She’d always preferred to go the indie route, but that crap
agent had cornered her at a particularly vulnerable moment and convinced her
she needed him…just like he convinced her she needed to be in a gallery. Although,
now she was glad she’d conceded on the open bar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">The tequila swirled through her,
making her muscles tingle, preventing her from fully engaging the near-three
decades of anger she’d been harboring. She had spent an awfully long time
wanting to give Harry Canton a piece of her mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Even so, hearing him say she’d done
something amazing warmed her in a way very little ever had. If he had come
looking for another one-night stand, she hated to admit that she would consider
reliving that night again—only this time with more sexual experience and less
expectation of him sticking around.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">He might be almost three decades
older, but his face was still handsome and his brown eyes were just as inviting
as they had been when he was a high school prodigy and she was a wallflower.</span><br />
<br />
She smirked at a realization: he was
in a suit, probably having just left a corporate meeting, while she was wearing
a red sari-inspired dress at her gallery opening.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">He was still the straight arrow. She
was still the eccentric artist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Did you hear what I said, Harry?
About looking for you for the last twenty-seven years.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">His shoulders sagged. “I never meant
to sleep with you that night. I mean”—he quickly lifted his hands—“I was
leaving and should have told you before taking you upstairs. I shouldn’t have
just left like that, but I didn’t think you wanted to see me again anyway. If
it’s any consolation,” he said giving her a smile that softened the rough edges
of her anger, “I’d been working up the courage to kiss you since junior year when
you squeezed a tube of red paint in Mitch Friedman’s hair after he made jokes
about Frida Kahlo’s eyebrows in art class.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">She frowned at him. That hadn’t been
her finest hour. Then again, neither was waking up thinking she was starting a
new life as a high school graduate and the girlfriend of the cutest boy she’d
ever met, only to find the other side of the homecoming queen’s bed empty.
“There’s nothing wrong with a woman embracing her natural beauty.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">His smile faded quickly. “I’m sorry,”
he said, sounding sincere. “I shouldn’t have left you like I did. I hope you
believe that I regret it. Not being with you,” he amended, “but leaving without
explaining.”</span><br />
<br />
She laughed softly. He’d had that same
nervous habit in high school. He’d say what was on his mind and then instantly
try to recover, afraid his words had come out wrong. Usually they had. For as
awkward as she’d been, at least she’d always been able to say what she meant
and to stand behind it. Of course, that ability got her in trouble more often than
not.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">She’d told herself a million times
that Harry didn’t owe her an explanation. They hadn’t been in any kind of
relationship. She’d drooled over him from afar, but other than an occasional
smile in the hallway, he’d barely acknowledged her existence in high school.
Even if he hadn’t gone off to start his Ivy League college career the day after
graduation, he likely never would have looked at her again. Well, at least not
until she could no longer hide the truth of their one-night stand from the
world.</span><br />
<br />
“I expected so much more from you, Harry,” she
said sadly, the sting of what he’d done back then numbed slightly by the
tequila.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">His shoulders sagged a bit. “I know.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Why didn’t you ever write me back?”
Her voice sounded hurt and pathetic. She was surprised that after so many years
of being angry, there was still pain hiding beneath her fury. “I must have sent
you a hundred letters.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">He creased his brow. “Letters? I
didn’t get any letters.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Kara searched his eyes. He looked
genuinely confused.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“I sent them to…” Her words faded.
Suddenly the tequila-induced haze wasn’t so welcome. “Your mother said if I
wrote to you, she’d make sure you got my letters.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“My mother? I never got any letters.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“But you sent money.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Harry shook his head slightly. “What
the hell are you talking about? Why would I send you money?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">She stared at him as realization set
in. He hadn’t responded to her letters because he hadn’t received her letters.
And if he hadn’t received the letters, he hadn’t sent her money. And if he
hadn’t sent her money, he hadn’t known that she needed it. Sighing, she let
some of her decades-old anger slip. Her head spun, either from the alcohol or
the blurry dots she was trying to mentally connect. Leaning onto the bar, she
exhaled slowly. “She never told you, did she?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Told me what?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Kara couldn’t speak. Her words
wouldn’t form.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">An arm wrapped around Kara’s shoulder,
startling her and making her gasp quietly. She turned and blinked several times
at the man who had just slid next to her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Sorry to interrupt,” he said, “but I
need to get home.” Leaning in, he kissed her head. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Congratulations on the
opening, Mom. It was great.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Um…” She swallowed, desperate to find
her voice. “Thank you, sweetheart.” She flicked her gaze at the man sitting
next to her. The longer Harry looked at her son, the wider Harry’s eyes became.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Phil cast a disapproving glance at
Harry then focused on his mother again. “Don’t forget that Jess is expecting
you to make pancakes in the morning. You promised.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“I haven’t forgotten.” Kara returned
her attention to Harry. His jaw was slack and his cheeks had grown pale.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Phil nodded at Harry as if he were
satisfied that he’d made the point that his mother didn’t need to be staying
out all night and walked away. Harry watched him leave while Kara waved down
the bartender and pointed at her glass. The tattooed kid hesitated, likely
debating the ethics of giving her another shot. She pointed again, cocking a
brow for emphasis, and he finally filled her glass.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Kara…” Harry’s voice was breathless,
like he’d been kicked in the gut. “Was…was that my…son?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">No. His mother <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">definitely</i> hadn’t given him the letters Kara had written. She
lifted her shot, toasting him. “Congratulations, Harry. It’s a boy.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Today, I finally get to talk about the project my partner-in-crime, Mandy Harbin, and I have been working on.<br />
<br />
Did you know every minute in the United States, a woman dies from heart disease, stroke or another form of cardiovascular disease (CVD)? <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Source: American Heart Association, www.heart.org)</span></i><br />
<br />
Every. Minute.<br />
<br />
According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death for African American and white women in the US. I could go on and on about statistics, but I won't. What I will do is encourage all of you to be aware of the symptoms. The American Heart Association offers great information to get you started. Click <a href="http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Conditions/HeartAttack/WarningSignsofaHeartAttack/Heart-Attack-Symptoms-in-Women_UCM_436448_Article.jsp" target="_blank">here</a> for more info.<br />
<br />
Cardiovascular disease runs in my family. More than that, I've felt the pain of losing a loved one to this dreaded and deadly disease. One of my dearest friends, Paul Waits, passed away on October 2, 2014, of a massive heart attack. He was 44 - only 5 months older than me (he passed the day before I turned 44).<br />
<br />
Paul had no warning. No symptoms. One minute he was here, the next he was gone.<br />
<br />
If cardiovascular disease runs in your family (and even if it doesn't), I urge you to see a doctor to check your cardiovascular health. I've done it. It doesn't hurt. It's cool to see your heart as it beats on an ultrasound screen. (I don't know the technical term for this machine - the test is called an Echocardiogram). Have a carotid doppler. Also painless. Have whatever test your doctor/cardiologist recommends. And then you'll know, hopefully BEFORE there's an issue. Even if you are asymptomatic.<br />
<br />
There is a reason they call it "the silent killer."<br />
<br />
In honor of Paul, and all the men and women who live with (or have died from) CVD, a portion of the proceeds from our new project--<i>Hearts in Danger</i>--will be donated to The American Heart Association.<br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Vampire Territory 1:
Drinking Partners by @AllieRitch<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .25in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Thanks for hosting me here today, Parker. I’m thrilled to
share a little bit about my latest paranormal romance, Drinking Partners, which
is the first book in my new Vampire Territory series.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Usually when someone says they have a drinking partner or
drinking buddy, they mean a friend who joins them at the bar or club. For the
vampires in my new paranormal romance, this term means something very
different.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">As master vampires, Lucas and Alexandra are strong and
powerful, and they have the ruthlessness and determination to lead. So what
draws them together? An instant attraction between them is the first thing, but
thanks to all the death threats they’ve gotten, trust is hard to come by. Then
add the benefits of a partnership.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">By becoming drinking partners — feeding from each other
instead of humans — they reduce the risk of being poisoned. The Human Rebellion
has been sending Lucas tainted suicide donors for some time in an attempt to
exterminate him and every other bloodsucker. Alex reduces that risk so that he
doesn’t have to watch what he eats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Since two master vampires are scarier than one, they can
also have a lot more fun frightening their subjects into obeying their laws.
The intimidation factor frees Alex from having to face nightly challengers and
assassins who assume a female is too weak to lead (something she usually
disillusions them about with a swift sword to the throat).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Add attraction, passionate lovemaking, and a good
partnership together, and a new relationship starts to form. As these two
master vampires fall in love, their attempts to outmaneuver each other become
more of a flirtatious game. Alex appreciates Lucas’s cunning and ruthlessness,
though she doesn’t want him using those traits to take over her territory.
These two alpha vampires are very well matched.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mid-Atlantic Territory is a tough job. Between the Human Rebellion trying to
kill him with poisonous suicide donors and snobby born vampires bucking his
authority, Lucas Thane has his hands full. What he needs is a regular drinking
partner to feed from and a bigger power block. He finds both in the form of
Alexandra Gage, the master of the territory south of his.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Alex could use a little help herself, but she has no
intention of letting Lucas take over. Turned into a vampire against her will,
she has had enough control taken from her. She’ll never let Lucas usurp her
right to rule, but will she let him steal her heart? Passion ignites between
them, and it’s amazing what vampire bodies can do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Lucas carried her onto the elevator and rode up to the top
floor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">He brought her all the way to her door before he spoke
again. “May we come in?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“I guess so.” She shifted in his grip. “The key is in my
jacket pocket.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Zander fished it out, smearing his hand with blood in the
process. Her garments were completely saturated, and Lucas could feel the stain
seeping into his shirt where her body pressed against his.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">He wasn’t sure what he’d expected inside, but certainly
nothing so normal and homey. Over time, he’d seen many vampires favor
ostentation or an eclectic mix of furniture and art from various time periods.
Alex’s living room was minimally furnished with clean, contemporary pieces, and
he could see she kept the place neat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

up quickly, as long as you don’t move around too much.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">She jerked her head up to glare at him nose to nose. “I’m
not taking my clothes off in front of you. And how do you know I fed?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Lucas was tempted to lie, but he’d pay for it later if she
learned the truth. “Zander and I followed you to the blood bar tonight. I was
curious what errand you intended to run.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“It sounds like you were stalking me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Nobody stalks better than a vampire,” he teased her. “You
should be glad. If I hadn’t followed you, I wouldn’t have arrived in time to
rescue you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“You didn’t rescue me. I would have killed them all
eventually.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Her confidence acted as an aphrodisiac on him. He’d always
liked and respected fierce women, and this woman in particular drew him. The
blood coating her skin also excited his vampire nature, though pain had never
turned him on. At the moment, the knowledge that she was hurting was the only
thing that kept his cock from growing fully erect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“I expedited, then.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">She growled low in her throat but returned a shallow nod.
“Yes, you did. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Thank you for that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“You’re welcome.” Without thought, he planted a light kiss
on her forehead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Alex didn’t jerk back like he thought she would. Instead,
she gave him a look so vulnerable he tightened his hold on her out of reflex.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Now, let’s see about getting you out of these dirty clothes
and patched up.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">The vulnerable look evaporated. “No.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“You’d rather get blood on your couch, then? Because I plan
to sit down with you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">She may have been the most unique woman he’d ever met, but
she was still a woman. He knew stains drove females crazy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Her sigh of exasperation made her deflate in his arms. “All
right, but I’ll undress myself.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“You can’t even stand up. As beautiful as you are, I promise
not to ravish you the second I see bare skin. I’ll cover you again as quickly
as possible.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">She kept her jaw stubbornly set for a moment. “Fine. Grab
fresh clothes for me from the bedroom. If you put me on my feet and help steady
me, I can get everything off by myself.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Do you have any plastic wrap?” Zander asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Excuse me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Zander looked at her expectantly. “I know a great trick with
plastic wrap.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Lucas couldn’t understand why she goggled at his friend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Then she turned the expression on him. “Is he serious?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Of course I’m serious.” Zander didn’t give him time to
answer. “If we wrap your wounds tight, they won’t spill blood as quickly, and
you don’t have to worry about linen fibers sealing into your skin as you heal.
It’s the best bandage a vampire can use.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Oh.” The blush that spread across her cheeks beguiled him.
“I don’t have any, but you might find a roll in the unit next door. The tenants
cleared out kind of suddenly and left lots of stuff behind.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Got it.” Zander left them alone to go look for plastic
wrap.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Hurry up. I’d prefer to strip in front of you.” The blood
rushed to Alex’s face again. “I mean, just you and not your pal.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">Lucas fought back a smile. “As you wish.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

<br />
<a href="http://www.empetrova.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ReiningMen72lg-2.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="ReiningMen72lg (2)" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-46" src="http://www.empetrova.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ReiningMen72lg-2.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a>The Boot Knockers Ranch caters to women in all ways. And now rookie Paul is officially part of the team. He’s had six months to hone his skills with the ladies and prides himself on being a prime catch.
<br />
<br />
Jack would agree. He can’t get the rugged cowboy out of his system. He wants Paul in his bed more than anything, but his best friend has always been resistant to relations with other men. Jack’s instinct says different, but he values Paul’s friendship too highly to push it.
<br />
<br />
Then Jack takes on beautiful new client Lissy Lofton and finds himself falling hard for the confident show jumper. He’s not the only one. Lissy has caught Paul’s attention, and the attraction is mutual.
<br />
<br />
But now Jack has a problem. Lissy’s sexual appetite is so ravenous, he doubts he can last the week without backup. Which presents an irresistible opportunity to invite Paul into their bed—where the incandescent heat brings all their walls tumbling down.
<br />
<br />
Warning: Contains two smoking-hot cowboys whose drive to please the same woman spurs a desire to please each other.

Excerpt of REINING MEN Rated ADULT, HOT, GET THE FAN AND GRAB YER PARTNER
<br />
<br />
<br />
“This lower lip is as ripe as a juicy peach. And this upper one”—he dragged his thumb over the rounded edges—“is a man’s wet dream.”
<br />
<br />
His dirty words spiked her desire. She wrapped her fingers around his strong wrist. Wide, sprinkled with light hairs, warm from the sun. Damn, she wanted to touch his every inch. For a week, Jack was hers to worship.<br />
<br />
And she planned to take total advantage and make the big fee worth it.<br />
<br />
His lashes lowered over smoldering eyes the color of sea glass. As a child she’d gathered the remnants from the beach and kept them in a little wooden box her parents had given her. What had happened to that collection?<br />
<br />
Who cared? Now she had a new kind of sea glass to admire.<br />
<br />
Jack tipped closer until the brim of his hat bumped her forehead. With a warm chuckle, he nudged it up. “Hat on or off, Lissy?”<br />
<br />
Her mind bounced around the question. What did she want her first kiss to be like? He was allowing her to choose her path. Her heart swelled with the knowledge of her own power.<br />
<br />
“On,” she whispered, her voice a stranger’s.<br />
<br />
He angled his head, nose brushing hers. She filled her lungs with his scent—leather, man, hay. All the things she adored clinging to one perfect cowboy. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Release date: January 7, 2015</span><i> </i><br />
<br />
<i>Carrying a shotgun lands her into trouble … and under the spell of a cowboy
</i><br />
<br />
Pearl learned the hard way that DJ is a poison that needs to be
eradicated from her neighboring land. Although she hates him with a
passion, killing him isn’t part of her plan. When the shotgun fires and
DJ is wounded, she wishes she left the gun at home.
<br />
<br />
DJ has a pain in his butt—literally. Thanks to Pearl with her poor
shooting skills and temper. He knew all along that she had it out for
him, but shooting him in his backside was a little too close for
comfort. When she shows up on his doorstep— after prodding from her
family—apologizing and offering to ‘nurse’ him back to health, he can’t
help but imagine all of the opportunities at his fingertips. His
sweetest revenge would be to prove that she has feelings for him, and
with a little of his country-boy charm, she might lose the emotional
barriers and stop treating him like the devil’s spawn.
<br />
<br />
One touch and Pearl is hooked. Changing the bandage on DJ’s nice,
tight buns starts a fervor within her that leads her down a delicious
path—and straight into DJ’s strong, awaiting arms. She realizes
shutting him out isn’t as easy as building another wall of protection.
He’s in her blood and she’s addicted. And her cowboy is determined to
unlock all of her closed doors.<br />

<b>Excerpt:</b><span id="goog_1972518310"></span><span id="goog_1972518311"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">All hell broke loose inside of her as he rolled
the tip of his tongue along the inside of her mouth. His fingers threaded
through her damp hair, tangling in the mass, lifting her head at a perfect
angle so he could reach deeper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He tasted good. He felt even better. The scent
of his soap and the clean fragrance of rain mingled underneath her nose, making
her nipples tight. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She wrapped her arms around his neck, dragging
him closer, pressing her breasts against his hard chest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">His teeth nibbled at one corner of her mouth,
scraping gently along the curve of her bottom lip. A vision of him nibbling her
pussy lips made her scorch with heat as a strong desire to be one with him
washed through her. Her core ached for fiery release. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">All trepidation faded from her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">His kiss slowed and he pulled back. She
whimpered in disappointment and opened her eyes. His gaze was filled with
longing and she wanted him right then and there, not caring that earlier that
week she could have wrung his neck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Darlin’, I don’t think one kiss will be
enough.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A hot shiver raced across her flesh. “No?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Uh-uh.” His eyes turned a shade darker and he
sucked in a deep breath.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Where are we headed here, DJ?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I have plans to lick every part of your
delectable body. Is that a problem?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She couldn’t have turned him down if her life
depended on it. She unfastened the top button of his shirt, then another. “I
like that idea.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He smoothed his hands along her bare leg to the
top of one cowgirl boot and pulled it off her foot. He gave it a toss and it
landed with a thump to the floor. Then he removed the other. “You’re making me
crazy, woman.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Undoing the rest of his buttons, her mouth
watered at the sight of his bare chest and flat stomach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“God, I’ve never seen a better body.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He chuckled and it vibrated his chest. “I don’t
think I’ve ever been more flattered.” His eyes twinkled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She tugged his shirttail from his jeans and
helped him slip the material from his shoulders. He had nice, large shoulders
that could carry a lot of weight. “Is there any part of you that isn’t toned?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Well, you haven’t seen all of me yet,
sweetheart.” He smoothed the back of his knuckles along her cheek.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I’ve seen this part.” She squeezed his ass,
careful not to hurt his wounded cheek. “That’s definitely in shape. About the
only thing I haven’t seen is buried deep in those jeans, and from the looks of
that bulge, I don’t think I’ll be a disappointed woman.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He sucked in a breath. “Are you sure you want
this?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I not only want it, I’m craving it.” She
moistened her lips. “It’s been a long time for me, DJ. I hope I can satisfy
you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He blinked. “Darlin’, I’m satisfied just looking
at you. Trust me, neither of us will have a problem.” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He tucked a tendril of
her hair behind her ear. “How long has it been?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Too long,” she whimpered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I don’t want to make you feel like this is all
I want. We don’t have to—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She covered his mouth with her finger. “Don’t,
DJ. I want this. I’ve been waiting a long time to feel this way.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I’m privileged to break the dry spell.” He
winked. “I’ll take very good care of you, sweetheart.” He nuzzled his nose
against her cheek.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She scraped her nails down his back. “How fast
can we get the rest of the clothes off your body?” She couldn’t wait to see his
goodies.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">Happy holidays from the ladies of Love, Lust and Laptops! Welcome to the Hot for the Holidays Blog Hop! #HotfortheHolidays</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #444444; line-height: 24px;">I love the holidays. Not the shopping and the present exchange - we don't do a lot of that around Kincadia now that our children are grown. I expect this will change a little once they start producing my grandchildren. (And I can't believe I just said those words!).</span></span><br />

Hi, my darlings!</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
It's Thanksgiving day here in the United States. </div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
While I know many of you live in other countries, today's post isn't about promotion. Today is about appreciation. Gratitude. Being thankful.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
And really, isn't that what every day should be about? </div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Thank you for being here. Thank you for reading. Thank you for taking this journey with me. I wouldn't be where I am without you. </div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">

Only she pranced a little too hard and spent her young-adult life tiptoeing the straight and narrow. Things finally paid off in the form of a job with the Department of Defense, a home of her own, and a boyfriend muscled enough he put Zach Efron to shame. Until one text reveals a hideous truth that splinters her world.</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Suddenly she can’t trust Nate or their surrogate family of friends. Can she possibly trust Luck—the man who mirrors her soul, scares her beyond the neat confines she’s erected around herself, and makes her scrutinize the versions she’s always been too angry to see?</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Luck turned to the streets out of necessity, while Rin slapped on blinders and ignored those willing to help her. A stupid move for a sultry young woman. But the skills she learned in the rough and tumble underbelly of DC will serve his latest assignment well. Because people like them have the instinct to survive.</span></span></div>

Gavin held onto his patience by a thread.
“Lauren. Be reasonable.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
His bride-to-be spread her arms and twirled in
the middle of what should’ve been their new kitchen, if the fucking contractor
had done what Gavin paid him a fortune to do.<o:p></o:p></div>

“I <i>am</i>
being reasonable. How can we leave for our honeymoon when…” She waved her hand
to encompass the area. Her beautiful eyes turned glassy with tears.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">

Gavin wanted to hit something. Lauren wasn’t
prone to shed tears over messes and missed deadlines. She shared his
no-nonsense approach to business. More than once he’d been in awe of her
strength, the steel in her spine as she’d out-maneuvered countless boardrooms
of men.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Every woman had her limits. It seemed the
business of building their home had caused Lauren to hit hers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
What was supposed to be the happiest time of
their lives had turned into a complete nightmare.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
He glanced around the room, which was nothing
more than a construction zone. The custom cabinets had been installed, leaving
gaping holes where the appliances should be. There were no countertops. No
trim. No. Goddamn. Sink.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
And that was just the kitchen. The master
bathroom didn’t have a shower. The guest bedrooms didn’t have flooring. The walls
throughout had yet to be painted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Anger
fired his blood. Oh, he was definitely going to hit something—the chubby jaw of
the bastard who’d left this shit undone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“We aren’t canceling our honeymoon.” He’d waited
more than twelve years to make this woman his. They were less than a month from
making it official. Lauren deserved the wedding of her dreams, which included
their honeymoon in Hawaii. He’d be damned if she wouldn’t get it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Seemed Lauren had other ideas.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“Let me rephrase. It’s done. I called the travel
agent this morning.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“Damn it, Lauren. You should’ve talked to me
before you made that decision for both of us.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“Talking about it wouldn’t have changed the
situation, Gavin, and you know it. Look around. Our home is in shambles. We’re
scheduled to move in a month. You really think that’s going to happen if we
aren’t here every single day to make sure things are getting done?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Gavin couldn’t help but take her comment
personally. He didn’t believe in micro-management. He paid good money to others
so he wouldn’t have to. But the fact remained: the ranch kept him so busy these
days that he hadn’t done <i>his</i> job to
make sure their house was completed on time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“So we postpone our move-in date. We’ll stay at
the cabin a little longer. It’s not the end of the world, and certainly not
worth missing out— ”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“No. We need to stay and deal with this mess. We
can go on our honeymoon later.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“With calving season right around the corner?
You know I can’t leave my brothers to handle all the work.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“They handled it themselves all the years you
lived in London. You think they couldn’t handle one more?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Gavin stared at the woman he loved, wondering at
what point she’d decided to turn on him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“That’s not what I meant,” he said slowly. “Clay
has his hands full with the new stock coming in over at Ainsley’s. Even with
Jared’s help, it’s all Pax and I can do to keep up without Clay. You know we’re
hiring more help, but until then, it’s all hands on deck, baby. We’ve talked
about this.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
He reached for her and muttered a curse when she
stepped away.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“Lauren.” Gavin folded his arms to avoid the
urge to reach for her again. “When I came back to Texas, I made a promise—to
myself and to my family. I have a responsibility to be here for them.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Lauren
shoved both hands through her hair, leaving behind a mess of shining waves
Gavin longed to bury his own fingers in.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
She sighed. “I’m sorry. I don’t know what’s
wrong with me. I didn’t mean … of course we can’t go away during calving
season. But we can’t go away now either. I wouldn’t be able to relax knowing
things are such a mess here.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Gavin was on her before she could retreat. He
pulled her into his arms and breathed a sigh of relief when she melted against
him. “I can think of a few ways to help you relax.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“I have no doubt.” She nuzzled his chest. “I
know it’s not ideal, but we could spend our wedding night at the beach house.
Maybe spend a day or two there?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
He loved his—<i>their</i>—place
on Galveston Island. However— “November isn’t the greatest time for swimming in
the Gulf.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“Who said anything about swimming?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Gavin stroked a hand over her silky hair,
struggling for the words to express how precious she was to him. He settled
for, “All right, baby. If that’s what you want, that’s what we’ll do.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
He’d find a way to give this woman the moon if
she asked for it, but spending what should be their honeymoon fighting with
housing contractors was not his idea of a good time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
He had to make this right.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
It was time to call in reinforcements.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“Nothing for you to worry
about. I’m good with pistols. I’m good with lots of things.” His voice held a
smile, and he flicked the top button of her dress open with the tiniest motion
of his index finger.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“Stop that.” Shock zinged
through her. She planted her hands on his shoulders to<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
push away, but he resisted,
anchoring her in the circle of his brawny arms. “Let me go!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Stop teasing. You’re trying to
distract me. I demand to know what trouble you’re bringing Jeremiah and me
into.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“You demand?” His laughter
vibrated his chest beneath her palms. “Lady, you can’t make demands on my ship.
The cardsharps who frequent Moreaux’s gaming salons are a different breed than
the fur traders and muleskinners you know. They’d as soon put a bullet in your
chest than lose a hand of cards, but as long as you’re with me, you’ve got no
one to worry about.” He ran his index finger gently along her cheek. “’Cept
maybe me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
A sharp retort sprang to
her tongue, but the hungry look in his eyes froze her. His gaze fell to her
mouth, and he eased forward. Anticipation held her captive as his lips brushed
over hers, warm and gentle, fitting like the missing half of a pair. Her
eyelids fell shut against the sparks in her mind, and she swore she felt them
ignite, the heat flowing up her chest and neck.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
When he sat back, she
opened her eyes to find him regarding her through dark eyes of his own. Wanting
more, she folded her lips together, savoring the wondrous sensation of his
mouth on hers a moment longer.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“Did you see that coming,

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
His teasing words were like
ice water in her face. “I see everything I want to see. Be serious.” Truth be
told, she was glad she wasn’t standing at the moment. His surprising kiss
could’ve swept her feet out from under her. She looked down at him haughtily.
She’d show him she wasn’t to be played with. There’d been other men who’d tried
to spread her legs, who’d kissed her first—though never as sweet and seductive
as Rory’s kiss. But she’d bested every man, found their weaknesses, turned
their superstitions against them. Rory wasn’t any different. He thought to
bring her back to his boss like a prize? Well, she was nobody’s trophy! “What
makes you think you can kiss me, Captain?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
His hand slid behind her
head. He smirked. “You’re the one who came to me. Now”—he twined his fingers in
the back of her hair and murmured—“let me kiss you properly.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Dell refused to come any
closer, but he bent his knees, propping his feet up on the<o:p></o:p></div>

other chair and causing her to
fall against his body. Her hands flattened on his chest, feeling the solid
muscle beneath the linen of his shirt. His lips covered hers again, and his
hand caressed the back of her neck in a gesture so tender and intimate, unlike
anything she’d ever felt before. The tip of his tongue touched her bottom lip
in request. She couldn’t deny her curiosity a moment longer, so she opened for
him, allowing his tongue to seek hers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
He tasted of smoke and rum,
provocative and forbidden as he coaxed her, melting her inside and out, until
she gave way and parried, matching movement for movement.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When she fell fully into his
erotic dance, he purred low in his throat. His fingertips<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
trailed up and down her neck,
stroking her skin with care, but his lips were urgent. She<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
drank him in, following her
instinct to dissolve in his embrace, allowing him to deepen his exploration.
Her fingers fumbled under his open shirt, questing for his skin and finding the
fine hair of his chest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Rory turned his head,
taking in a deep breath. His hands covered hers. “I was wrong. Maybe you’re the
dangerous one.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Dell bit her bottom lip as
she tried to corral her racing heart. Suddenly uncomfortable in his lap, she
readjusted, and he groaned. She discovered the reason for her discomfort—his
rigid organ strained against her backside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Rory tapped her chin with a
light fingertip. “If you’re after respectability like you claim, you’ll not
find it with me. Understand?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Dell nodded and untangled
herself from him. His arms fell away as she cast off his blanket and stood.
Perhaps it was the wine she’d drunk or the heady comfort of his warm body, but
she immediately wished she’d stayed put, enjoying more of his kisses. She
hugged herself, looking at his boots, the deck, anywhere but at him that he
might know her thoughts.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“Unless”—he shifted and
spread his arms across the back of the chair in an invitation for her to feast
over the naked muscles of his chest—“you’d rather lower your standards like
your mama and wallow in decadence with the rest of us.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“Like my mama?” Dell
huffed. “Damn you! My mama was a decent woman. That’s why she got me out of
that kind of life. One kiss—two kisses—doesn’t make me one of your tarts, Gory
Rory. And you kissed me. I never asked you, I never gave you permission.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
He lifted a mocking brow.
“You sure didn’t try very hard to refuse me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dell spun away and headed back
to the captain’s quarters. She heard him mutter an<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
indignant “Gory Rory?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
His
laughter rang in her ears as she closed the door.<o:p></o:p></div>

in a cabin overlooking White River where she enjoys watching eagles and

it came to Vivian Burroughs' unique connection with nature, her grandmother

Everyone loves a good movie. For me, a well written book unspools like a movie reel in my head with low lights, surround sound, and popcorn. Because, let's face it, the movie experience is not complete without popcorn. While writing the Base Branch Series, the characters acted each scene in my mind. Yes, my mind is s a smutty, spastic, wonderful place to be!<br /><br />Book trailers are an interesting hybrid, mixing the world a writer created with the visuals of a movie. So, I tried my hand at trailers for the first three novels in the Base Branch Series. Take a peek, leave a comment about your favorite, and you'll be entered into a drawing for a digital copy of Enemy Mine.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etESsC3xQ_c" target="_blank">Enemy Mine</a><br /><br />

Megan was born and raised among the live oaks and shrimp boats of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where her enormous family still calls home. She attended college at the University of Southern Mississippi where she received a bachelor's degree in curriculum, instruction, and special education. For several years Megan worked as a teacher in Mississippi. She married and moved to South Carolina and began working for an international non-profit organization as an instructor and co-director.<br /><br />In 2009 Megan fell in love with books. Until then, books had been a source for research or the topic of tests. But one day she read Mercy by Julie Garwood. And Oh Mercy, she was hooked!<br /><br />Megan lives in Southern Arkansas where she pens heart pounding romantic thriller novels and window steaming erotic romance.<br /><br /><br />

<i>Hello my darlings! I'm always happy to host my dear friend, Rosanna Leo - who's with us today to talk about her newest installment in her Gemini Island Shifters series. I don't know about you, but I've already reserved my cabin on the Island ... and I might </i><i style="text-align: center;">never leave! Take it away, Rosanna!</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Thank you to my lovely friend, Parker! I’m
thrilled to join her here again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I’m here as part of my blog tour for my
newest paranormal romance Predator’s Fire, Gemini Island Shifters 5.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Fans of this series know each of my books
has featured some conflict, usually in the form of family angst and shape
shifter/human trials. Well, for book 5, I decided I wanted to up the ante, so
to speak. Thus far, my peaceful Gemini Island has managed to avoid any threats
to its existence, but there’s a new villain in town, and he has set his sights
on the tranquil shape shifter retreat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">August Crane, my wolf shifter villain,
originated in hero Killian Moon’s tragic past. The leader of a vicious shifter cult,
Crane has long held Killian’s parents under his sway. Like a Charles Manson for
the shifter set, Crane camouflages acts of evil under the auspices of
“religion.” He fancies himself a shifter Messiah and plans to take all worthy
shape shifters with him into his new world order…an order that does not include
humans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">This presents a problem for my human-loving
residents of Gemini Island. And now Killian has a mate in human Nina Suzuki. I
loved throwing this deranged monkey wrench into my hero’s plans. In fact, I
don’t know if any of my heroes has ever suffered quite like Killian does. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">And if Killian has his way, he will make
Crane suffer as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoBodyText">
When Nina Suzuki discovers the body of her best friend
Janine, her world turns upside down. Things go from bad to worse when Janine’s
corpse seems to transform into that of a large, brown wolf. For the first time,
Nina is faced to confront all the clues indicating her BFF was not what she
seemed. A letter from the dead woman opens Nina’s eyes to a strange, new world.
The same letter warns of a sinister group called the Alpha Brethren, and urges
her to find Killian Moon of the Ursa Fishing Lodge and Resort on Gemini Island.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
Killian Moon is a jaguar shifter and teen mentor at the
Ursa Lodge in Northern Ontario. He may be a comfort and inspiration to confused
teen shifters, but he also has a fiery past. His past comes back to haunt him
when human Nina arrives at the resort, demanding to speak with him. Demanding
answers. Can he trust her with knowledge that will not only change her life,
but possibly endanger those around him? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
As Killian begrudgingly tutors Nina on all things shifter,
their mutual curiosity flares into passionate need. Once they touch, once they
succumb to desire, there is no going back. Killian realizes Nina is his mate
and they both begin to comprehend the terror threatening those on their shifter-friendly
island. He is forced to confront the tragedy in his family and determines to
protect Nina at all costs. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;">Writing any
book involves research. Whether it’s walking down a virtual street in
GoogleMaps (what does that shop front really look like?), or trawling through
train timetables (how long would it take my Heroine to get from Manchester to
Exeter?), there are facts to be checked.</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;">I’d already
started work on Lila’s Wolf, when I stopped to do some digging. After Google
searches had overwhelmed me with the sheer volume of information, I went back
to the old fashioned methods. It seemed appropriate too. </span></div>

library in town had a good selection, but most of the history non-fiction books
were just like long-ago history lessons: dry and dusty. I hit gold in the
children’s section though, and the picture books. Here were good ideas about
how my characters would have dressed, what they would have eaten, what their
homes might have been like. I still didn’t have what I needed though, and
total-period-immersion became the answer.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;">For the
best part of two weeks, the only fiction I read was set in the period. I rented
key movies from the library, and I let myself absorb the details. I watched
some great films, and read some amazing books, and then drip-fed the colours
and the feel, back into my story. I like to think it worked.</span></div>

<br />
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;"></span><span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;">We sat
around a huge wooden table eating honey cakes and drinking a light mead, as
though we did this every day. I stayed quiet while Marc set out his trinkets
and tokens, and I used the opportunity to assess our Saxon hosts: the warlord’s
very young wife, Rowena, and her two ladies in waiting; her sister-in-law, and
several female cousins and companions. The warlord himself, Widreth, was in
Londinium taking part in a series of diplomatic talks with the southern tribes
and would be</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;">back in a
few days, in time for the midsummer festival. It all sounded very civilized. I
glanced up to see an older woman joining us at the table, and Rowena was quick
to introduce her mother-in-law, Hilde. She took a place at my side, staring at
me intently. I felt my cheeks heating under her gaze.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;">“Forgive
me. Your hair is an unusual shade.” The words <i>for a Briton</i> were left
unsaid, but I guessed that’s what she meant.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;">I managed a
respectful smile in return. “Thank you, my lady. My husband and I appreciate
your hospitality. Tell me, have you been in this area a long time?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;">“My son
settled here three years ago, and we joined him on the following spring tide.”
A flicker of sorrow darkened her eyes but the shadow quickly cleared. “My
husband died in battle for this very homestead. We honor his memory with every
day that passes.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;">What she
meant was, her husband’s raiding party had most likely slaughtered the previous
occupants of this fine farm and taken possession of ripe, fertile land for
themselves. They were brutal times. As a fellow historian of mine loved to say,
<i>they weren’t called the Dark Ages because of bad lighting.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;">Her smile
looked friendly. “Do you know the area?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;">“Yes.” I
gestured at my <i>husband</i>. “We were last here two years ago, doing business
with the village.” I took a sip of the mead and sought for an offhand tone to
my voice. “There was a young man working in the smithy who had a fine hand for
delicate work and jewelry. He sold us some pieces. I think his name was
Flavius. Would you know of him?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;">Her mocking
laugh sent a chill through me. “The village is no more. Those who refused to
accept my son’s rule were either executed or taken as slaves.”<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>

author Sofia Grey spends her days managing projects in the corporate world and
her nights hanging out with wolf shifters and alpha males. She devours pretty
much anything in the fiction line, but she prefers her romances to be hot, and
her heroes to have hidden depths. When writing, she enjoys peeling back the
layers to expose her characters’ flaws and <i>always</i> makes them work hard
for their happy endings. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></div>

ENEMY MINE<br />When friends become enemies and enemies become lovers.<br /><br />Born in the blood of Sierra Leone’s Civil War, enslaved, then sold to the US as an orphan, Base Branch operative, Sloan Harris is emotionally dead and driven by vengeance. With no soul to give, her body becomes the bargaining chip to infiltrate a warlord’s inner circle, the man called The Devil who killed her family and helped destroy a region.<br /><br />As son of the warlord, Baine Kendrick will happily use Sloan’s body, if it expedites his father’s demise. Yet, he is wholly unprepared for the possessive and protective emotions she provokes. Maybe it’s the flashes of memory. Two forgotten children drawing in the dirt beneath the boabab tree. But he fears there is more at stake than his life.<br /><br />In the Devil’s den with Baine by her side, Sloan braves certain death and discovers a spirit for living.<br />

Megan was born and raised among the live oaks and shrimp boats of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where her enormous family still calls home. She attended college at the University of Southern Mississippi where she received a bachelor's degree in curriculum, instruction, and special education. For several years Megan worked as a teacher in Mississippi. She married and moved to South Carolina and began working for an international non-profit organization as an instructor and co-director.<br /><br />In 2009 Megan fell in love with books. Until then, books had been a source for research or the topic of tests. But one day she read Mercy by Julie Garwood. And Oh Mercy, she was hooked!<br /><br />Megan lives in Southern Arkansas where she pens heart pounding romantic thriller novels and window steaming erotic romance. <br /><br /><i><b>Author links:</b></i><br />http://www.meganmitcham.com/<br />https://www.facebook.com/meganmitchamauthor<br />https://twitter.com/MeganMMMitcham<br />https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6552758.Megan_Mitcham<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00372048780866012597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675809720894647698.post-12528687125804801432014-06-27T12:34:00.000-05:002014-06-27T12:34:12.064-05:00Borrowed Cowboy - RELEASE WEEK!TGIF naughty readers!!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Paxton Mathis is committed to bachelorhood. One failed
marriage was more than enough to remind him of the dangers of getting too
close. He has his work on the ranch; he has his family. He has everything he
needs. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Event planner Reese Jameson accepted the job at Shadow
Maverick Ranch for one reason: to face her biggest regret. Paxton Mathis was
her first love, her first everything. And ten years ago, after a night of
unbridled passion, it all came crashing down.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The moment they see each other again, it’s clear the years
haven’t doused the heat between them. On the contrary, their flames burn hotter
than ever. Despite Paxton’s attempts to keep things casual, old feelings emerge
alongside a fierce hunger to keep Reese in his life forever. Reese willingly
accepts Paxton’s need to keep things casual, but she’s worried her heart won’t
get the message. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">When Paxton is forced to face his fears, will history repeat
itself, or will he take a chance on a whole new future?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Pax made good on his promise to
call. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">He called every night for a
week, so when her phone rang late on Friday night, Reese wasn</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">’t</span><span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">
surprised. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Hi, beautiful. You home yet?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">She experienced a rush of
pleasure at hearing his voice. Reese turned her key in the lock. The man had
impeccable timing. “Walking in now.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“How’d it go?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">She tossed her purse and keys
on the narrow counter that served as a pass-through to her kitchen. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Without a hitch.” She’d been
planning the fundraiser for a local children’s hospital for months. “They
raised a lot of money, and I found the perfect caterer for Gavin and Lauren’s
wedding.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Surprise colored his tone.
“Yeah?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“I’ve been hesitant to mention
them to Lauren. They were highly recommended, but I’ve never seen them in
action until tonight. The food was delicious, and perfect for what Lauren
envisioned. I won’t bore you with the details. What did you do today?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“You never bore me, darlin’.
You wanna talk boring? I spent a good part of the day in the office with
Gavin.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">She snickered. “In the office?”
As memory served, Pax hated anything to do with paperwork. Or being cooped up
inside. He preferred fresh air and wide-open spaces.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Not my favorite thing to do,
but sometimes, a necessary evil. There’s a neighboring property we’d like to
buy. We had a conference call with our dad this morning. Sort of a status
update, I guess you could say. Then I spent the next few hours going over land
surveys and next year’s breeding schedule. Tedious stuff.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Right. Tedious. He loved every
minute of it, just as she loved her work. “Are your parents enjoying their
vacation?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Reese made her way to the
bedroom. She kicked off her heels, shouldered the phone, and worked the sheer
pantyhose down her legs. Wearing pantyhose on a hot Texas night should be a
crime. She sat on the edge of the bed and flexed her toes, groaning as her
muscles cooled and relaxed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Pax?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“They are.” Pax’s voice turned
sultry smooth. “What are you doing?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">She fell back on the bed. “I’m
reveling in being out of those shoes. And don’t get me started on the
pantyhose.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“If I were there, you’d be out
of more than just your hose and shoes.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Her body reacted to his threat,
heat pooling between her thighs. “Promises, promises.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Reese ran a hand over her
breast. God, she missed him. Their work schedules had made getting together
impossible over the last week. They had their date for Mrs. Sinclair’s seafood
boil tomorrow, and it couldn’t come soon enough. Reese was counting down the
hours until Pax picked her up. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The night of Patrick’s death
had haunted her for so long. She felt lighter, happier than she had in years.
Reese never dreamed they’d be in this place. She and Pax. Rediscovering the
connection between them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Their nightly conversations had
been tame. A ritualistic check-in at the end of each day that screamed <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">relationship</i>. They’d begun to get to
know each other again, which seemed odd considering in the two times she’d seen
him, he’d made her come more times than she could count. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Leave it to them to do things
backward. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Pax continued to avoid the
topic of his marriage and Reese didn’t push. She’d figured out most of it on
her own, anyway. Reese hadn’t been entirely forthcoming, either. She’d never
been married, but she’d been asked. Recently. Pax deserved to know, but how
does one go about saying <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hey, this guy I
refused to marry keeps calling…</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yeah, not so easy when the man
she loved was looking for a reason not to trust her. Whether he realized he was
doing it or not. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">One day, he’d trust her to
protect his heart. The last thing she wanted to do was give him a reason not
to.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Reese filled her lungs,
prepared to broach the subject. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">He’d be cool. Pax would see the
situation for what it was. Reese wasn’t interested in Todd or anything he had
to offer. Pax owned her heart. Okay, so she wouldn’t share that last part. Call
it a defense mechanism. Whatever. Her heart wasn’t a card she was ready to
play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Tell me about the dress you’re
wearing. I assume you’re in a dress?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Pax’s words startled her back
to the conversation. “Well … yes. For the moment I am. A cocktail dress.
Simple. Nothing flashy.” She was often expected to attend the fundraisers she
planned. She dressed the part, but preferred to stay on the sidelines to make
sure everything went as scheduled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Gonna need a little more for
the visual I’m trying to create here, sweetheart.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">And she’d just lost her opening
to a conversation that would now have to wait. Not for long, though. Soon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“It’s just a dress. Spaghetti
straps. Modest…” She glanced at her cleavage. “…modest-<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ish</i>. Black and turquoise. That’s sort of a green—”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“I know what turquoise looks
like. Keep going. Is it a long dress?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“No, short.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">He growled. “How short?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Reese hummed into the phone,
warming to his game. “Short enough.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Take it off.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Her stomach clenched at the
demand. “What?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Take. It. Off.” </span></div>

Booklovers Convention in New Orleans. I’m excited on so many levels. Not only
is this my first RT convention, but I’ve also been asked to play in </span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The

aren’t words for how grateful I am to have been asked to play along.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

authors should also be wearing a big <i>Great Author Hunt</i> button. If you
spot one, ask them for a sticker for your card. Once you’ve collected a minimum
of 25 author stickers, fill out the information on the back of the card. Once
that’s all done, put the card in the Great Author Hunt Entry Box, located in
Club RT.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We all have
black days, some darker than others, and although <i>Crash Into Love</i> is a
romance, it has a dark undercurrent of angst. Cass has very real doubts about
Jonah’s attraction to her, let alone having a fling with him. And he, in turn,
has his own demons to contend with.</span></div>

Unable to settle,
I fiddled some more with my manuscript, made coffee, changed the bedding, and
tidied every corner of the tiny cottage. It was still only four p.m. The wind
had started rattling at the patio umbrella and I made sure it was secure, and
then I sat and stared at the rain as it rolled in. The clouds hung low in the
sky, heavy and foreboding, and ready to dump their water over the land. I
wondered if there would be lightning again. Another round of tidying up and I
resorted to baking cookies to pass the time. Dylan adored my chocolate-chip
cookies and I’d made them so many times that I didn’t need a recipe. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
An hour later, the
kitchen was filled with the warm, homey smell of baking and a mountain of
cookies sat cooling. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made a casserole. Something to sit quietly
in the oven and be eaten whenever Jonah arrived. If he arrived. It was seven
p.m. and there was no sign of him. The wind now tugged at the windows and the
rain battered across the roof, and I didn’t like to think about Jonah driving
up here in this filthy squall. He’d most likely be here tomorrow, when the
storm had blown itself out. By ten, I’d removed the casserole to the
refrigerator and then curled up on the sofa while I pretended to watch some
television.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Disappointment
clawed at me. He wasn’t coming tonight.<o:p></o:p></div>

Cass thought spending a month at a beachside hideaway
relaxing and collecting shells would be the perfect escape to finish her novel.

Romance author Sofia Grey spends her days managing projects
in the corporate world and her nights hanging out with wolf shifters and alpha
males. She devours pretty much anything in the fiction line, but she prefers
her romances to be hot, and her heroes to have hidden depths. When writing, she
enjoys peeling back the layers to expose her characters’ flaws and always makes
them work hard for their happy endings.<span lang="EN-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

interwoven so tightly into my writing that I can’t untangle the two. Either I’m
listening to a playlist on my iPod, have music seeping from my laptop speakers,
or there’s a song playing in my head – sometimes on auto-repeat. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

sending a tremor through Rae, and she paused. She swallowed and padded toward
the door. Her heart flipped when she peered through the peephole. Zach stood on
the other side, tugging on his ponytail.</span></div>

enough to let him in. He took the silent offer and stepped inside, kicking the
door shut behind him. His hands rested on either side of her face, and he
kissed her. There was hunger in his lips. It stole her breath as he held her
close, and she gasped when they broke apart. He studied her, blue eyes frantic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

we've done enough of that.” He leaned forward, lips brushing her collarbone and
tracing a line up her neck. “We can hash it all out later, I promise, but I

you wanted to hear to have you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
