What happens when…

after leaving the place you called home,

to forget the girl you loved,

knowing she chose someone else,

you must now return for a wedding you can’t bear to watch.

So, you pay a beautiful girl…

to trek across the country with you,

pretending the two of you have plans for a new future,

faking a relationship in front of your old crew,

unprepared for when she slams those rounded, green eyes into you.

Suddenly, you realize…

you are actually over the bride and ready to move on,

quite sure the feelings you’ve been pretending to have,

aren’t so fake after all,

yet, she needs the money, so you continue to play along.

Trying your damnedest not to fall…

to remember she’s an ‘employee’ you paid to come along,

and keep a promise of no romantic entanglements,

until that one moment, when you know,

you have finally found your forever.

Except for the secrets that threaten it all…

an uninvited guest from her past shows up at the wedding,

threatening to crumble your dreams,

and even if she still picks you,

your dark secrets might just end everything.

Excerpt

Back at the villa, I grabbed a beer from the fridge and retreated to the balcony. I’d missed the Oregon air. The smell of the Green Douglas Firs. I was home.

“Austin?”

Lifting my brows, I waited for what she had to say.

“You’ve done so much for me. I know that I owe you and…”

The chair flew back hitting the wall when I shot up. “Don’t, Phoebe. I paid you to come here with me, nothing more. Don’t do a goddamn thing because you think you owe me. I kissed you because I felt like kissing you. You should have just said no. I’d have respected that. But don’t kiss me because you feel some fucked up obligation.”

I stepped past her, rage boiling beneath the surface, and I stormed back inside.

“I didn’t kiss you because I felt obligated,” she whispered. “I’ve imagined that kiss a thousand times in my head since I met you.”

I stopped in my tracks and slowly pivoted around.

“Those kisses trumped every fantasy kiss I’ve had but…”

“No buts,” I stated, setting my beer on the table. I swallowed as I strode purposefully toward her without reservation. The deal sealed when she started walking too.

Author Bio

Just the fact that someone may be reading my ‘bio’ thrills me. What does one say in an author bio? Well, I LOVE to write! Sometimes characters talk to me in my head (in a non-psychotic way) and I have to get what they are saying out on paper! So, here we are! :) 

I am a part-time juvenile probation officer and full-time wife, but I spend the majority of the time helping my two favorite, college-aged sons navigate through life and hopefully become the best humans they can be.

I am a huge fan of the Kansas Jayhawks, the Oregon Ducks, the Chicago Cubs (I have a dog named Wrigley) and the Kansas City Chiefs.

I’m terribly addicted to music—ALLLLL kinds and driving in the car with the sunroof open and radio turned up helps the creative juices flow.

I am deliciously addicted to queso and cupcakes; but even with that…I like to slowly kill my body with Crossfit. I’m annoyingly sarcastic.

People ask me ‘what has been your favorite book to write’—I would have to say my original series. (I think it sold 100 copies)  J   FINALLY, I’m tweaking them! My heart was poured into these books—but they needed tweaking.  Slick was my Amazon best seller, but every one of them mean something to me.

In the end, I truly believe life is taken way too seriously by most. I say enjoy every moment, have an adult beverage and READ!! Cheers….

Excerpt

His eyes linger on our hands before roaming across my sleep shirt, catching on my lips, and stilling on my gaze. “You make me want things, Marguerite,” he whispers like regret and yearning all wrapped up in an unfamiliar package.

The ever present want and fear when I think of a future that can never be, war in my stomach. “Don’t. What I have could never be enough.”

“Don’t sell yourself short, Pixie.” He squeezes my hand before releasing it and turning away. “You have more than enough of what I need.”

I linger on his impressive form as he pulls on his jeans. But when he turns to look at me again, I turn away, disappearing behind the bathroom door before he can witness the fall of my shoulders, and hope, slide from my face.

Regret follows me as I jump in the shower and do exactly what he asked me not to.

I wash all evidence of him off my body.

Where he lingers, water can’t penetrate.

It can’t wipe him from my mind.

It can’t cleanse him from my soul.

And it can’t save my riotous heart from falling.

Excerpt

"I can't get over how big this place is." Tris'Tyn's voice broke Bash's sexual fantasy starring Freya.

"It's huge, so large that you're not sure how to deal with all of it." A grin flashed on Freya's face. Bash scowled at her choice of words as memories of the first time they made love surfaced. She'd never seen one in person before and worried he wouldn't fit. He'd proven that theory wrong.

"It's nothing like the Resistance camp I came from."

"That's because they weren't the Resistance." Bash growled as he raised an eyebrow at Freya.

"I meant to ask what you meant by the 'real Resistance'." Tris'Tyn's gaze bounced to her.

"You don't have to worry about that anymore. You're with us now and soon we'll strike the final blow to ARI and the Sovereign. Then everyone will be free." Nova interjected with a glare at both Freya and him. Busted. 

After Tris'Tyn and Nova got off the lift, Freya grinned at him. When she straightened from the wall as the doors opened at their stop, Bash swooped her up into his arms then tossed her over his shoulder. It brought back memories of the first time he'd done it at the safe house where they'd stayed right after they met.

"Are you serious right now?" Her fists pounded against his back.

"Sorry, not sorry." He didn't hold back the laugh. "But if you want to give me a massage, my lower back is a bit tight."

She slapped his ass before giving in. Just like last time, there was only so far she could go without hurting him and he knew she wouldn't risk that.

Placing his hand against the wall to reveal the bioscanner, he remembered it was unnecessary. All he had to do now was imagine the door opening and his nanites used the wireless communication system to pass the security codes and open the door. Another thought sealed the door as he tossed Freya on the bed.

Scrambling to sit up, she glared at him. "Was that really necessary?"

"Not in the slightest, but it was fun.
