Cover Reveal!

COMING NEXT WEEK from Blushing Books, YESTERDAY'S PRINCESS...and now I can reveal the cover for my new book! My latest romance, with a former Hollywood diva who returns home and finds that her old flame, a commercial fisherman and captain of his own boat, is also captain of her heart.

Excerpt--YESTERDAY'S PRINCESS

In the mood for a little Sunday evening tease? Something playful & flirty?

Well, then, take a little taste from my upcoming book, YESTERDAY'S PRINCESS, coming next month from Blushing Books:


She wasn't really challenging him, and yet he felt challenged. Brock leaned against the kitchen table and folded his arms across his chest.

"I understood that you had things you wanted to do with your life," he insisted.

"Yeah, that's the official story."

Brock chuckled at her audacity. "Are you calling me a liar?"

"No. I'm giving you permission to tell me if you cared or not that I left. That I didn't stay here."

"I did care. But I didn't want a girl who'd resent me forever, all because I stood in her way. I wanted a girl whose first dream was to be with me as much as I wanted to be with her."

Why was he being drawn into that conversation? He felt at odds with himself, as agitated as he felt relieved. Because Deannie was right. Those were words that did need saying. For years, they'd needed saying. Still, he wasn't prepared for the feelings attached to those words, not the least of which was being reminded of how much he'd wanted her.

"I'm sorry that it ended the way it did," she admitted. "Sorry that our last words to each other were…angry."

"Yeah, well. That's going back a long time ago. All water under the bridge now." He softened towards her.

"I guess—it's hard to explain. The world looks so big when you're young. And what you want at nineteen doesn't always come true. But, anyway…" Slapping her hand at her side, she said, "Let's have dinner."

"Good. I'm hungry.

He liked the fact that she was serving dinner there, at the table in the kitchen, which had always seemed more intimate than the dining room table. There, they still had a view of the property behind the house. Up until she'd become too sick to tend to the garden, Magnolia Hale had always had an impressive meditative area back then. In the midst of the rosebushes and orchids there had been a romantic, stone fountain.

"You'll be glad to know I've forgiven you," Deannie told him after they'd served themselves portions of the beef, noodle and vegetable casserole, as well as the bread.

Brock caught on that he was being teased and laughed. "You've forgiven me?"

"Yes. For spanking me that night."

"You deserved that spanking. Actually, you had it coming to you for some time."

"Hmmph." Deannie bit into her bread after buttering it. "Spank any of your other girlfriends?"

"No. I wasn't close enough with most of them for that. And a couple of them were pretty well behaved, anyway."

"Huh. Well, they'll never make any history, those 'well behaved' girlfriends." Brock raised his head, eyeing her. "Maybe you need a little reminder spanking? Something to keep you on your best behavior?"

"I was nineteen back then."

"So?"

What was this? More teasing? As hungry as he was, and as delicious as that meal was— Deannie had impressed him with her cooking skills, which she must have developed over the years—he was captivated by her naughty flirtation.

"Sounds to me like you really do need a reminder," he growled.

"But I'm being good. Not like that last night when we were together."

"You are being good. Yeah…"

This was a flirtation. A sexy, little game. He all but forgot about the plate in front of him, loving her drawl, her pretty smile. Flirty play or not, he considered it wise to remind her of who wore the pants in that room. Though she didn't belong to him, according to their relationship in its present state, her kiss and her actions at that point were definitely hinting at something otherwise.

"You're not too old to get turned over my knee," he finished his statement. "A reminder. But just a reminder."

Deannie had lit the candles in the center of the table. Now the lights from the flames flickered and danced and brought out the deep blue of her eyes. Brock swallowed hard.

The little minx wanted him to spank her bottom! That was a switch from the last time they'd been together.

Had he known what kind of evening awaited him, he would have brought The Sojourner home a lot earlier.

YESTERDAY'S PRINCESS

NEVER TOO LATE -- Excerpt

Want a little taste of my newest book, NEVER TOO LATE, which is now available. Enjoy!

One minute he was showing off the old car, which had taken him some time to restore after the owner had sold it to him for a song, and the next he and Kit had closed in the space between them for a kiss. First one kiss, then the second, then he’d lost count. They were kissing and wrapped up in each other’s arms. The temperature in the car had instantaneously gotten as hot as the sun in the tropics.

Kit interrupted a kiss to ask in a worried tone, “I hope you don’t get the wrong idea about me.”

“Wrong idea? What? No, babe, no.”

He’d had his share of girlfriends when he was younger. He’d been with his wife, though he wondered how long they would have lasted together if she hadn’t died. There had even been a woman here and there afterwards, but his heart hadn’t been into it.

His heart was into it now. His whole body was into it, in fact.

“Can anybody see us in here?” she asked.

“We can—we can go in the house. Quickly.” Andrew was so turned on, and it had been so long, he didn’t know if he’d make it to the bedroom.

Yet he’d do his best to hang on. It wasn’t easy, with her and her kisses and her body driving him crazy.

“Well, if they can’t see us, this is kinda fun. Kinda naughty.” Even her giggle was adorable. “I don’t want to mess up your show car, though.”

“I’ve got a drop cloth in the garage. Used it for painting the living room this year. If you don’t mind, I can drape it over the backseat. It’d be a lot more comfortable back there, too.”

“No, I don’t mind. Let’s do it!” Her enthusiasm added a sparkle to her eye. “In the backseat of a guy’s car. Now I really feel like a bad girl!”

She probably did have some bad girl in her, too. Andrew thought about that as he hurried to get the large cloth. It was a bit dusty from being in the garage, but the heck with it. He could always vacuum the Charger sometime later that week. He would’ve had to be out of his mind to let a little dust come between him and sex with the beautiful, redheaded minx who’d sashayed into his life. Also, it took him an extra couple of minutes, but he found the condoms he kept in the downstairs bedroom and stuffed them into his pocket.

When he returned, he found Kit waiting for him, leaning against the door and smiling. Her legs were crossed at the ankles. Andrew was certain he looked like an eager teenager, unable to wipe the smirk from his face.

“I’ll do that,” she said, taking the heavy, paint-dotted cloth from his hands.

“Are you sure? I just thought of something. The paint’s dried on that thing, but you might get your dress dirty.”

“Eh, that’s what drycleaners are for. Besides, that’s a small price to pay for being with you tonight.”

Immediately, he understood why she’d offered to spread the tarp over the backseat. That meant half of her was in the car, while the other half of her—the bottom half—was mostly out. The fabric of her dress was stretched taut across her behind, and the back muscles of her legs were tightened. His little bad girl was taunting him with the view.

It was a night of gambles. He’d gambled with the chance she wouldn’t show up for dinner at the Tavern. He’d taken a chance she wouldn’t keep kissing him, which had led them to this exciting point in the evening. Now there was one more gamble he could take, the one with the odds stacked against it.

“Hey, you know, you shouldn’t tease like that, young lady,” he warned, maintaining a jovial tone. “You might find yourself over my knee, getting spanked.”

“Ouch!”

Andrew widened his eyes. He hadn’t meant to distract her, and now she’d banged her head while trying to get out of the car and straighten up. Was she about to go all liberated woman on him?

Available Now on Amazon!

And coming to Nook soon, too. Gives me a chance to do another post. Three in one month, I'm getting better, LOL!

Anyway, here is my new book, along with its description. It's a fun, little romance with lots of spanking! Enjoy!

Cover Reveal

Cover reveals are ALWAYS fun, especially when they arrive a lot faster than we authors thought they'd get here!

Really excited to be able to share NEVER TOO LATE with readers. Originally published in novella form, NEVER TOO LATE was never contracted and published as an ebook...until now.

Or rather--until this weekend! This hot & romantic little spanking romance tale, with a hero and heroine I'm sure you'll love, will be released this weekend and available, for now, on Kindle and Nook.

So make sure to get your copy!
