<strong>ABOUT THE WOMEN IN OUR BOOKS:</strong><br />
<br />
If you haven't read Chase's Love that introduces Rachel and Chase to everyone...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Rachel wasn't looking for love. As a matter of fact, she'd
written off men altogether as the last thing she wanted in her life was another
controlling jerk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At least that was the
plan until the guy of her dreams walked into her life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Chase Jamison had just got out of the military and was
working toward expanding the business he started with his brother and best
friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had a goal and he was
focused.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Never in a million years did
Chase expect to find the sexiest woman on earth at his club.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
As Chase and Rachel come together and try to find happiness,
one question remains. Will Rachel's ex-lover step in and keep the pair from
finding true love? <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
Then we introduced Allison and let's just say she can get herself in some dilemma's...<br />
<br />
<div align="center" class="yiv647662814msonormal" style="margin: 1em 0in; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Who said “Two's company Three's a crowd?” <o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In France, ménage a trios means 'household of three'.<o:p></o:p></i></b><br />
<br />
<div class="yiv647662814msonormal" style="margin: 1em 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Society’s
Child<o:p></o:p></b></div>
Allison Cruze has always been the ideal daughter
every power couple wanted: beautiful, college graduate, successful and primed
to take over the family business. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her
parents gave her the best of everything including a husband; all she had to do
was follow the rules and she would be set for life. Her parents know what it is
like to be in an arranged marriage after all it has worked for them all these
years<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Two of a
Kind<o:p></o:p></b><br />
<br />
Mike Cross and Drake Jamison were best friends
through the military and now in a very successful business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They learned early in their military careers
to depend on each other and they also learned that they loved to share the same
woman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Knowing this was not the
traditional relationship they searched for the right woman. A woman that was
strong, beautiful, talented and wasn’t afraid of going against the norm. As
they watched their best friend and brother fall in love they realized that they
were ready to settle down and they knew just the woman they wanted – Allison
Cruze. <o:p></o:p><br />
Now can they devise a plan to get Allison to
fall in love with them? To trust them enough to go against her parent’s wishes
and against the society that she grew up in? Can they turn them into <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a Three of a Kind?<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="yiv647662814msonormal" style="margin: 1em 0in;">
<o:p>Once you have laughed, cried and cheered on these two women we moved on to Toni! </o:p></div>

say for our bios except we are quite a pair<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our
adventure started when we became friends while working at a mental health
counseling centers, no we were not the patients but the employees. As we looked
upon our situation we knew almost instantly that a friendship was in bloom,
well actually more than a friendship but a kinship where we can openly laugh,
joke and stand side by side no matter what the world throws at us. We both are
extremely proud parents of our boys and have amazing people in our lives to
support us as we go out on the adventures of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mollie has an amazing, smart and energetic
little boy and two wonderful precious puppies that fulfill the majority of her
life and like her I have a two amazing young men but I have five puppies and a
husband to consume my time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition
to editing and co-authoring books Mollie and I have a small home business that
started as a crazy hobby, </span></span><a href="http://www.seamrippers2012.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">www.seamrippers2012.blogspot.com</span></span></a><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> . Somehow in our spare time, if any,
we have managed to create some smoking hot amazing books that were not only a
blast to create but gave us our own little pieces of nirvana.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is quite the adventure for us and hope
that you will enjoy our books just as much as we have writing them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ok, so how about a little more blabbing today? Don’t worry,
I’ve not forgotten about the excerpt for Jacob & Isa. It’s still coming for
you on a stop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Let’s turn those tables away from my last chatty post. So,
here’s what most women really would enjoy doing, in nor order, of course.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">--School Girl: Yes guys, many women actually think about the
naughty student and the spanking from the teacher. Here is your chance to give
her what she wants and be dominant while doing it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">--Domination: There’s nothing quite like a dominating man.
We all want to be women from time to time. So, this is your chance to let that
testosterone run wild. Push us back into a wall, make us beg for it—tease us
unmercifully.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">--Voyeur: Let me get this out of the way. The often said
“women are not visual” is most times very far from the truth. Chances are that
she loves watching as much as you do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">--Forced Seduction: I want to stress on this, that while
many women crave this as it’s an excuse to be the bad girl that so many really
want to be—CONCENT is a must. Also, there needs to be a safe word no matter how
non-extreme you feel things will be. Safely done…this can be great fun for both
partners.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">--Domination: She wants to manhandle you. It gives the
relationship new perspective. Yes, you’re her big, strong knight in shining
armor—but imagine how turned on she feels when she’s in control of that.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">--Dancer: Many women have the dancer fantasy just as much as
men do. It’s the thought of having any man look at you with such
desire….knowing that you’re the one in control of what he is wanting…you’re the
one making him hard.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">--Threesome: It seems to be the thing to do. As more and
more people are getting comfortable with their own sexuality, the idea of
another woman joining in with your female and you isn’t all that unheard of.
You never know, this may be on her fantasy wish list and she’s afraid to ask.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">--Threesome: While we’re talking in threes—one woman and two
men. This is so hot to many women. Sometimes the desires are easy
enough—wanting the attention of two men…maybe one kissing while the other
penetrates. This fantasy isn’t always about double penetration.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">--Stranger Danger: The thrill of sex with a stranger. Hot!
Many women would never act this out, but oh the fun the fantasy entails. To
make it hotter, don’t tell him your name and don’t ask for his. In an instance
like this, a female can be however she wants to be with no one ever being any
the wiser. Maybe she’s a straight-laced business woman. This night, she can be
a rock groupie and leave refined sex at home.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">--On Exhibit: Most women put on a disgusted face when a man
mentions taking naked pictures or filming their own sex. In reality, many women
want to have that sexy feeling of being on display. Something like this,
allowing her to act out the bad girl in her, may go great with the forced
seduction mention.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Isn’t it nice to see how many fantasies men and women really
do have in common? So my questions is: What are you waiting for? Try some out.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ll see everyone at the next stop tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Alexis was walking through the gallery with her best friend Markas looking at the most amazing group of pictures ever, as she approached one it took her breath away, grasping Markas arm “Look at that anguish on his face how the artist did that is amazing, I wished I could do something like this”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“I know the old man screaming is wonderful, the details in the eyes being shut, the scruffiness of the beard just blows my mind.” Markas was not only her best friend but the only man she could count on in her life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Hey did you notice the two Mr. Yummies over there” with a brief nod to the right Alexis peeped around him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Yes they are yummy but darling I had to disappoint you they are straight as an arrow.” Alexis laughed teasing Markas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“I know silly, I was talking about you, the one in the dark purple shirt is all about watching you” Markas laughed as Alexis swatted his arm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ignoring his comment she slowly made her way around the corner to another picture, standing there taking in all the details of the old Indian woman, how her eyes again told the story of anguish and pain. Alexis was so deep in thought she didn’t hear someone walk up, thinking it was Markas she reached over and patted his stomach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was when she instantly realized that those hard as rock abs didn’t belong to her best friend; shocked she spun and was face to chest with the sexiest man she had ever met.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Oh crap I am so sorry, I thought” pausing to look up to his face “I thought” well she stammered as their eyes locked “I thought you were my friend Markas” bowing her head she mustered up the courage to apologize “I am so sorry” as she started to move away. She watched as he slowly reached out and touched her hand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“I am sorry to startle you” pausing to gently hold her hand in his palm moving his fingers along hers “My name in Jasper Kline, it has been a pleasure to meet you.” He looked down at her holding her undivided attention; she was so enamored and unable to speak. Thankfully her best friend saved the day again as usual.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Hey there I was wondering where you got off to” reaching out offering his hand to shake “I’m Markas and who would you be?” Alexis held the attention of the man holding her hand the entire time Markas spoke to him. That is when the other gentleman walked up and patted him on the back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Jasper I see you have met a beautiful lady” taking her hand from Jasper’s “It’s nice to meet you and your friend here, I am Jackson Kline and who might you be?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Alexis was finally woken from the spell she was under, shaking her head “Sorry I’m Alexis it’s nice to meet you.” Turning to Markas quickly to explain what happened she noticed he was smiling like a hyena at a buffet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“I turned to talk to you and smacked him in the stomach, you are always disappearing on me” she swatted Markas’ arm “I wanted to show you this Indian woman she is wonderful the way her eyes reach to you.” Markas nodded in agreement but noticed that Jasper still hadn’t stopped staring at his best friend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">****<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Markas decided that he wanted to experiment a little with the man looking at his best friend like he could eat her for lunch. “Have any of you seen this photo?” reaching out to direct them to the photo of a woman sitting with her back to you, nothing but a burlap wrap on, hair a mess and petals surrounding her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Alexis looked at the pictured getting shivers up and down her spine “Wow that is completely on different spectrums it could be so many different things.” Looking at the picture she could see a woman sitting down in a room darkened at dusk waiting for her master to join her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Markas agreed as he explained what he thought “I think this woman is waiting for someone to join her, the way her fingers are softly touching the ground, and the mussed hair” pausing “It could be sexual or just pitiful.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Markas knew he planted a seed and had every intention to watch that grow “Hey check out this next one the artist did a great job intermixing these photographs it leads you down path that has a fork in the road but it’s up to you to determine the path you take.” Walking off he pointed to the picture of an axe placed in some wood where it had been used.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Alexis understood completely where Markas was going with this and was going to thoroughly kick the shit out of him later at the apartment. Looking over to Jasper she smiled “Sorry he is a pervert what can I say.” Shrugging she walked over and looked at the next photograph and smiled slightly knowing that Markas was completely right again, damn she hated to admit it when he was because he was impossible to live with.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Jasper walked slowly next to this woman that has taken his breath away “Don’t apologize for his comment because I completely agree, just like the last two the photographer is allowing you to take the path, the cross over his fingers allow you to choose the path” he looked over at the next one that was just around the pillar “she is using the umbrellas here to clear the air and purify it before moving to the next series” Alexis appeared to be in awe of this man not only was he sexy but he had a brain, mentally pumping her fist up and down she walked up next to him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Ok I can see that but then” she turned around to the next series “This one here with the flowers it could represent the cleansing results, the blooming after the rain.” Alexis reached out and touched his arm and felt the skin shiver under her touch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Taking a deep breath he has never had a reaction like this from a woman “True and the only color being the flower could represent a new blooming, but if you on that path what does the rope stand for?” looking at the opposite side of the pillar she walked around and stared at it. Shivers running up and down her back, thoughts bursting in her mind and in each thought Jasper played the main character.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Inhaling deeply Alexis looked up at Jasper “Well that would depend on how it is taken” Jasper saw his only chance and leaned in slowly pressing his lips to hers as he felt the electricity burst around them like flashing lights. That is when he reached out and pulled her closely deepening the kiss as he felt her open for him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He moved his arms around her pulling her closely not caring that this most intimate kiss was being watched by several people. He felt her softness melt into him pressing closer and reaching out to him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Unable to stop himself he kept ahold of her even after he kissed her breathless, never wanting this moment in time to end they were interrupted by chuckling, as they turned to look at Markas and Jackson standing there looking at them both smiling like loons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Excerpt<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Lorenzo walked up the porch steps, turning to stare at her. "Are you
coming, Gabriella?" No one but Lorenzo and his father called her by her
full name. She liked when Lorenzo said it. He'd always made it sound so formal
and sexy.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
These were the first words he had spoken to her since they left the
courthouse. They were married in the chambers of the prestigious Judge John
Cartwright. He'd been a family friend of the Martinezes for many years. He was
their go-to man whenever they needed something done fast and legally. Well,
legal in her new father-in-law's eyes anyway.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
She hurried up the steps and followed Lorenzo inside their new home. It was
built within a matter of months after she'd agreed to marry him. Carlo wanted
them to have their privacy, but he also wanted to keep them close. He didn't
trust she'd hold up her end of the bargain, and keeping her on the property was
the best way to ensure she wouldn't run.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
It was silly, really. How could she run from a family like this? They had
ties all over the world. There wasn't any place she could escape to that they
wouldn't know about. She was a woman of her word. She said she would marry
Lorenzo and she did. She'd find a way to cope. She always had.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Lorenzo pulled his jacket off, poured himself a scotch, and then loosened
his tie. "Would you like a drink?"<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
"No, thank you," she said.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Most brides would be dancing the night away and drinking champagne by this
point in their wedding night. She didn't think that was part of Lorenzo's plan.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
"I didn't think you'd go through with it." He sipped the amber
colored liquid as he looked her over.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
"I said I would."<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
"I know, but when push actually came to shove, I thought you'd
run."<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
"You don't know me that well," she said. "I don't run."<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
"Good." He smirked as he put the glass to his lips.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Gabby couldn't take her eyes away from those lips. She'd never had the
pleasure of having them on her own. Judge Cartwright hadn't asked him to kiss
his bride. She hated herself for thinking about him that way.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
"You could've stopped this. Why didn't you?" she asked. <o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
As they stood in front of the judge, she kept hoping he'd put an end to the
charade and stop the wedding. It didn't make sense to her why he had agreed to
marry her. She didn't have a choice. Her father's gambling debts made sure of
that. But she didn't understand why he'd allowed things to get as far as they
had.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
"I was just as trapped as you were." He downed the rest of his
scotch.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
She didn't believe that. She knew he respected his dad, but she didn't get
why he wouldn't have put his foot down and said no to such a life-altering
decision.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
"You could've told your father no from the beginning. Why would you
agree to marry someone if you didn't have to?"<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
"Look." He shook his head. "It's done now. We're going to
have to make the best of it."<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
"Make the best of it?" She plopped down on the leather sofa.
"I'm twenty-two years old. I just graduated from college, and you want me
to make the best of it?"<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
"I know this isn't what you might have wanted, but it is what it is.
You agreed, and now it's done. You can't go back on it now. My father won't
forgive that."<o:p></o:p><br />

Well then Valentines Day came and went, of course my hubby was wonderful and got me a teal 24k forever rose. Then on the 15th I had to have my gall bladder removed which was freaking awesome (yes complete sarcasam). As you know I work full time as well as write books and I actually work at bookkeeping, tax preparation company where I am in charge of mulitple companies payrolls. Again I hope you caught the tax prep part of it so my world is a whirl wind of busy during this time.

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When you’re the last man
standing…<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only was Logan Delaney the last of his
siblings to remain unmarried and unsettled, his entire family believed he’d
never find a wife. The baby of eight, he’s been dubbed an irresponsible player
and told he’ll never amount to a hill of beans. And at one time, Logan may have
been okay with those descriptions, but no more. On a quest to prove his worth,
he’s spent the entire summer learning the family business, staying in at night,
and saving his money. And if his family would stop meddling in his affairs and
trying to dictate who he should and shouldn’t be seeing, he might just show
them he’s found the one, Lizzy Jenkins. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And have a bad reputation to
blame…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Elizabeth Jenkins had always
known Logan Delaney existed, but he’d never so much as turned one glance her
way until she handed him his butt on a silver platter in three sentences or
less over the phone. After that it seemed at every turn there he was and the
more she resisted the heat building between them, the bigger the fire got.
Until his family interfered. And why wouldn’t they? Between Logan’s legacy and
her baggage, they were a disaster in the making.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Can you be trusted with a fragile
heart?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But Logan doesn’t run when he finds out about Colby. In
fact, he embraces Lizzy’s special needs son and defies the advice of everyone
urging him to leave Lizzy alone. But after one moment of weakness, Logan finds
himself knee deep in a marriage complete with the little boy whose father
bailed before his birth and Lizzy’s grandfather, who needs constant care as
well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then there's the man who just
might be the demise of it all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Excerpt 1:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">With a mixture of emotions
swirling through her, Lizzy watched the same storm overtake Logan’s features
which was brewing inside her. A veritable lightning bolt passed between them as
soon as he’d touched her. She knew she’d always been attracted to Logan, but
the instant heat still scalding her skin from his fingers left her unsettled.
It was but a mere couple of hours prior she was trying to convince herself she
could do with some sort of quickie sexual gratification, although she’d
admitted it could never be with Logan, and now she wanted nothing more and the
door to her emotions was wide open leaving her vulnerable and believing maybe
they could have both. And just as she was trying to tell herself to stop
trusting the lies her deprived body was concocting, Logan decided to try to
convince her he might be interested in more as well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Where was Logan the player and
who was the imposter sitting across the table from her who could probably talk
her right into his bed with one sentence or less and keep her coming back
heartbreak on the horizon or not? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As her pulse
slowed a bit, she turned to look at Colby and reminded herself why she couldn’t
be playing horizontal Twister with anyone let alone Logan. And she sure
couldn’t go letting Colby think there was a reason to get too comfortable
around him. He seemed to like Logan and the Delaney herd of kids and she didn’t
want him getting his feelings hurt because she couldn’t control her hormonal
urges. What if she made the mistake of screwing Logan’s brains out, things
didn’t work out, and that made it awkward to be coming around anymore? This was
the first time anyone had really taken them in and welcomed them
unconditionally and she didn’t want to rob Colby of it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Excerpt 2:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lizzy watched Colby make yet
one more circle around the living room with his arms spread and sighed in
frustration. He was oblivious to the disruption he was causing which only added
to her exacerbation with the situation. How could she possibly be angry with
him when he didn’t grasp the concept of time or what it did to her nerves when
his unscheduled moments of innocence hampered what should have been her
scheduled life? And it surely wasn’t his fault he was the way he was or that
he’d even been conceived at all for that matter. No, his conception was wholly
her fault and she’d been paying for it for nearly six years. Alone. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">But the truth was, no matter
how many times she kicked herself for believing whispered promises in a back
seat and guilt swamped her even though medical science would argue it was
nothing she’d done to make him this way, Lizzy loved her little boy more than
life itself. There were days, though. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Like today, she wanted to sit
and cry until there were no more tears left then cry some more. Rarely was it,
though, Lizzy had time for such frivolities as tears. What time wasn’t taken up
with Colby’s care was spent at her job as the assistant officer manager at the
farmer’s market, somewhere she had no intention of working a lifetime and which
brought her to yet another responsibility on her list. School. When she wasn’t
working or caregiving, Lizzy was an almost full-time student and watched the
sun rise on a new day without sleep having studied all night more than once. In
a word, she was not only exhausted physically, she was just plain tired. Never
in her life would she have imagined being twenty-three and feeling so defeated.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">What she wouldn’t give for one
night of freedom. One night filled with beers and dancing. Maybe even some hot
sweaty sex in the form of someone who would disappear the next day and not look
back. Well, that and not leave her knocked up. Alone was fine, with another
baby to tend to by herself, not so much. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of course she had no idea how
to go about this stranger for one night sex. The closest she came to any man
was when they made deliveries to the market or they drove their grandfathers to
the Senior Center for bingo and hung around waiting for the old farts to get
tired of dotting cards and fighting the caller over what had come out as B-five
but was mistook for B-nine because someone’s hearing aid battery was running
low. And although they all knew <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">her fairly
well, they avoided her for the most part because of which grandfather she
dropped off at bingo. Thank God none of them knew Michael Silcox was the one
who’d left her high and dry with a special needs child, not exactly prime bait
to fish with in the pond of hooking up. Her name associated with his would only
add fuel to the stay away from Lizzy fire as his family owned most of
Georgetown.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
Well the flu happened to me and Mollie both we have been sick but working through it, Mollie has been hitting the keys hard editing Teaching Summer and has Dylann's Long Road Home coming up fast. Also our publisher has Toni's Heartbeat in the editing cue so that will be coming out really soon, can't wait to wrap up the Lion's Den collection. <br />
<br />
As for works in progress we have on tap our short story from Rebel Ink Press Dad's Plan Anthology and we are turning that into a great paranormal shifter book. I am super excited about this story simply because this will be our first shifter book. So please hang in there and we can't wait to hear what everyone has to say once we get it finished.<br />
<br />
Thanks everyone!!<br />

<br />
I have to confess I have not written a shower scene, I think I need a smoking hot, steamy shower scene. Something at along this:<br />
<br />
As she stepped into the shower she felt the hot water slucing down her breasts, after such a long, stressful day she was really enjoying how relaxing it was making her. As the water warmed her on the outside the thoughts of that huge cock belonging to her was making her just as hot and slick on the inside. She slowly slide her hand down her side and to the cleft of her legs, rubbing her curls with her fingertips she reminded herself that she needed to get them waxed. That was a long time wish of hers that she kept chickening out of, as her finger tips brushed past the curls to find her folds plump and full with need and desire she move past them to play with her nub of need. It was all she could do to not moan his name, knowing that once she did there would be no denying the extent of her needs. As she flicked her nub the need to be filled grew as she inserted one finger in her hot, wet channel feeling the spasms growing and rippling. Leaning back against the side of the shower she stroked her finger in and out but still needed more. Closing her eyes she visioned him with her moving her hands from her folds and replacing them with his own, pinching her nub and pulling it firmly sending shockwaves throughout her body. As he turned her to face the wall he spread her legs and ran his hands down the crack of her ass making her rosette pucker as he pressed against it, as she started panting with need...<br />
<br />
Ok now that I have your attention I guess I need to finish it stay tuned to see what happens next, any ideas or suggestions?<br />

<br />
My Family: <br />
<br />
My Mother is my lifeline and she is also my biggest supporter of all that I do<br />
My Boys - well they are the breath I breathe and super crazy proud of them<br />
My Husband - what more could I say expect I am fortunate to have the best man, he loves me supports me and is my biggest fan<br />
My Sisters and family - they have always been there for me and I appreciate that<br />
<br />
Now my best friend and co-author Mollie Fiegel - not sure what to say here but THANK YOU GOD for bringing such a wonderful person in my life. You know you have a true friend when no matter what you say they still love you for being you. Support you when you need it and well kick your ass when you need that too.<br />
<br />
I am fortuate to have many friends that have supported me over the years, Dawnn well she started all of the books and even though we don't talk as much as I want I am thankful that she is in my life. She has made me laugh, cry and love her dearly.<br />
<br />
So for all that you have and all that you want keep in mind that love is a two way street so next time someone you love pisses you off just think what it would be like if you didn't have them to piss you off anymore. <br />
<br />
Now all of those that follow this post please comment below and tell me what your thankful for and be entered for a free gift card!<br />

I can tell you from experience that a natural disaster affects everyone, my family lived through the EF5 tornado that hit my home town Joplin, Mo last year with that being said my hometown was completely leveled, my friends and family devasted and found themselves homeless. We are very fortunate that my family did not lose any family members but we did lose some friends to the tornado. I love my family and don't know what I would do without them so please reach out to your Facebook friends and let us know if we can be of any assistance.<br />
<br />
Love, Kisses, and Prayers<br />
