HAPPY RELEASE to
Reckless & Real #2
Adult Contemporary
Release: March 3, 2015
After everything blew up on Christmas, Liz walked
away from me, and I let her. She said she needed space and a chance to pursue
her dreams. But we both knew she was running from the mess she made. Now the
political campaign she used as an excuse to leave is bringing us back
together and I’m proving to her what she really needs—not just the hot nights,
greedy hands, and undeniable physical chemistry. What she really needs is
something real. What she really needs…is me.

Something Real Excerpt
Sam
Security had better not have let one of those asshole
journalists from downstairs up to my floor. I swear, those soul suckers would
do anything to get a new detail to add to their nothing stories. I open the
door without removing the chain and feel as if I’ve been punched in the gut
when I see the woman on the other side.
Liz is worrying her lower lip between her teeth and watching
down the hall. Is she looking for Sabrina or trying to make sure no one sees
her coming to my room? My insides twist at the sight of her—an internal
tug-of-war between conflicting emotions. I want to pull her into my room and
kiss her until she can’t see straight, touch her until she promises never to
leave me again, and at the same time, I want to demand that she go back to her
room because having her close makes me hope for things I can’t have.
I remove the chain and tug her inside by the arm before
closing the door behind her.
“No one saw me,” she says, her eyes locked on the floor. “I
made sure.”
“I saw you,” I
growl. It’s painful to be this close—to
breathe her air, to smell her perfume. I never knew how much it could hurt to want and be denied.
She swallows and avoids my eyes. “Is she here?”
“What do you want, Liz?”
She lifts her head and stares at me. “Is she here?”
“Sabrina’s on her way to meet her mom in South Dakota for a
campaign stop.”
Her gaze dips to my bare chest and back up. “I’m surprised
they didn’t ask you to go with them.”
“They did. I declined.” I sound like a fucking dickhead, and
I make myself take two steps back so I don’t do something equally dickish. Like
kiss her until she melts in my arms and forgets about the other guy, until we
both forget that this is hopeless.
“I’m sorry that video was leaked. You didn’t deserve that
invasion of your privacy.”
She has red lipstick on, and it matches her shoes. Ever
since I saw her tonight, I’ve been picturing her on her knees in nothing but
those shoes, those red lips stretched around my cock. I can’t help myself, and
I skim my thumb over her bottom lip.
The second I touch her, she draws in a ragged breath. “You
came to my apartment yesterday.”
“I did.”
“Why?”
I trail my thumb down her neck and over the red strap of her
dress. “Probably for the same reason you came here tonight.”
“To talk about Sabrina?”
“You knocked on my door in the middle of the night to talk
about Sabrina?” I follow the strap down and graze my fingers across her
cleavage. “Is this about her, or is it about you and me?”
“There is no you and me,” she says. “We both know that.”
“There’s so much you and me, there’s no air left when we
share a room. There’s always you and
me.”
“Even when you’re making sex tapes with someone else?”
“And even when you’re keeping warm in another man’s arms.”
SOMETHING RECKLESS (#1) is on sale for .99 cents until March 14th!
Reckless and Real #1
Release: December 2014
He wants to tie me up, but I don’t know his face.
He turns me on, but I couldn’t point him out in a crowd.
I’ve fallen for an anonymous stranger, and tonight the anonymity ends. Tonight I want more than typed secrets and texted promises. I want something reckless. Heat. Passion. The thrill of being entirely possessed.
Because I suspect this anonymous stranger isn’t a stranger at all.
Lizzy Thompson met riverrat69 online through Something Real, a service promising to deliver meaningful relationships by forbidding its users to share names or photos until they’ve reached a certain benchmark. She was looking for love. He was researching an investment. They hit it off. Talked and flirted, hid behind screen names and cartoon avatars.
Now they’re breaking the rules and meeting in person. But Liz is prepared. She’s picked up hints and followed clues.
She’s ninety-percent convinced she’s discovered the identity of her dirty-talking online friend.
She wonders if her ex-lover Sam Bradshaw knows her identity too.
When she rolls the dice on one reckless night, her chance at something real could crumble.

About the Author
Once a college English professor, I now write full
time. I live in rural Indiana, where, when I’m not writing, I get to hang out
with my husband and two kids--a six-year-old boy and a two-year-old hellion, er, girl. Not surprisingly,
reading and writing remain my favorite activities, though both come in bits and
pieces these days, not the big hunks of time I en- joyed before I had children.
When I’m feeling virtuous, I like to go running (I use that word liberally. I’m
really, really slow) or do yoga. Don’t worry, I’m always careful to balance out
such activities with a hearty serving of ice cream or a chocolate martini.
