"Betcha my story’s worse than yours!" A small smile played at the corners of her lips.

"Ooh, sounds like a challenge. Sure you're up to it?" He shot her a one-sided grin.
“Bring it on.”
"First, what are the stakes? Dinner? A walk on the beach?"

****************

Halfway to the shoreline, he raised his gaze searching for Tara. He recoiled in horror at the sight that met his eyes.

 **************** 
Tara moaned softly as his arms tightened around her. Desire flowed through his veins, his hands itched to touch her breasts, to strip away her sexy dress and feel the softness of her skin against his. Making Love on the beach in the moonlight crossed his mind…his pulse kicked up.    ****
She wasn’t prepared for the sensation created by the brush of his warm fingers on her skin when he moved her hair aside. Mick took his time with the zipper, the lightness of his touch sent a shiver up her spine.

NEW BOOK RELEASE AND NEW YEAR'S THOUGHTS

IF I LOVED YOU is now available on Amazon, All Romance eBooks and Bookstrand, soon on Barnes & Noble, too. Here are four snippets to whet your appetite:

The rapid clicking of cameras and popping of flashes was enough to blind Megan. Her mouth hung open, and she looked around for a place to run.

His mouth came down hard on hers, his hands pulling her hips up against his. Desire blazed a path to her belly. Instinctively, she ground her hips against his. Her fingers detected the increased pace of his breathing. 

 Grady barked, and Meg stiffened when she spied a figure moving in the shadows. She stopped dead in the middle of the path. Uh oh. Time to get the hell out of here. Before she could flee, a man stepped out of the shadows. (Background shot for the book cover.)

 
“Harley has always wanted to sleep with me. Harley wants to sleep with anything wearing a skirt…except maybe a Scotsman.” Meg laughed and looked up into his eyes.

 MUSINGS ON THE NEW YEAR

    Starting the new year is like opening a fresh notebook, all the pages are blank, waiting for you to fill them with thoughts, ideas, plots and characters. I love the start of a new year. I haven't had time to screw anything up yet. I look with anticipation toward the winding road of creativity ahead, wondering where the stories I plan to write will take me.

I love that long, open road, ready for anything. It's clear, clean and uncluttered, inviting me to travel along weaving a new story on the way. I hope you face the new year with positive anticipation, looking for this year to rock your world in a good way. And I hope it does. I'm feeling the tautness of a new self-discipline and a renewed sense of vigor. Wishing this year is your best year yet. Please share your new year's thoughts. Leave a comment.
