way to discover if Darius is alive or dead, Lia accepts the help of a
Roman Governor who claims to know her husband's family. Is the love
between Lia and Darius strong enough to withstand the ultimate test?
Find out in The Only Good Roman Returns. <br />

This is Book 2 in the saga of Lia and Darius. <br />
Be ready to fall in love!</i><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lady Annabel Peters sat in the open-top carriage and
realized she had left it too late. She should have escaped yesterday.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Really, Annabel, I don’t want you to give your left eye.
All I’m asking is that you go in there and do what comes naturally.” Lord
Elliott Peters, her husband of two months, sat opposite her, smoothing his
waistcoat against his flat, toned abdomen. A lock of blond hair fell across his
brow, accentuating his startling blue eyes. He claimed all he had to do was
crook his finger, and besotted society women swooned, but she couldn’t imagine
it. His grotesque personality obliterated any physical beauty he possessed.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-size: large;">The warm summer breeze touched her face. She inhaled the
scent of grass and honeysuckle. Frogs sang somewhere in the distance, and
crickets chirped, a sure sign it was going to be a warm night. She looked out
at the passing Berkshire countryside, and wondered how anything this ugly could
happen on such a perfect summer evening.</span></span></div>

not her husband.” She struggled to breathe; a vise tightened around her chest.</span></span></div>

they entertain themselves. You didn’t believe we would be faithful to each
other for the rest of our lives, did you? What a ridiculous notion.”</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-size: large;">The thought of copulating with Elliott was horrific enough.
Now he wanted her to sleep with his friends, too. Bile rose in her throat at
the idea of having to endure another man like her husband. He was totally
amoral, and thought nothing of sleeping with a friend’s wife. He undoubtedly
took pleasure in it. He never controlled his lust. If he saw a woman he wanted,
he took her by any means possible.</span></span></div>

a pug named Max. She also discovered her love of storytelling. Encouraged by
her husband, children and let’s not forget Max, she started putting her ideas

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Sinclair Darling, the Earl of Chilton, is suddenly tricked into
marrying, he’s beyond furious, even though the girl is known as the
Incomparable Queen of the ton because of her beauty. Taken aback by his
new wife's spoiled behavior and seeming coldhearted selfishness, Sin
desperately tries to hide that he's not the unwilling husband she thinks
him to be — he has admired her from afar for years.
</span></span>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />In the eyes of polite society, Lady Charmaine de Vere has it
all—beauty, wit, and now marriage to the heir of one of the wealthiest
dukedoms in England. But behind the shiny exterior a dark secret lurks, a
secret she would do anything to save her sister from--even sacrifice
her one chance for marital bliss.</span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>EXCERPT: </strong></span></span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-size: large;">“I’m not angry,” he repeated hoarsely. “Only disappointed.”<br /> “Disappointed?” She stared at him in confusion. “Why are you disappointed with me?”<br /> “Because you are not what I thought you were.”<br />His strange admission made her frown. “What was I supposed to be, then? As beautiful on the inside as I am on the outside?”<br />He had at least the decency to blush.<br />“Something like that.”<br />She
wanted to laugh hysterically. When had her life become this twisted? As
ever, it was her bloody looks creating the problem. First Lord Nester,
possessively estranging her from everyone else. And now her husband who
didn’t want her, as she didn’t live up to his high expectations.<br />“I’m sorry,” she choked, tears filling her eyes.<br /> He made a painful grimace. “Don’t be. It’s not your fault.”<br /> “Then why do you keep telling me it is?”<br />
“Why? Because you were the one who made this marriage happen, not I.
You were the one telling me you didn’t even care if it was me you
married. Of course I think it’s your fault. If I’d had any choice I
would never have married a woman claiming she doesn’t care if I am the
one who is her husband.”<br />His jaw twitched harder and harder for every
harsh word he spoke, until his whole face was hard as stone and just as
cold. All his earlier embarrassment was long gone, and she knew she had
to get away from him before she started to cry.<br /> Because every word he said was true. </span></span></blockquote>

<span style="color: #fce5cd;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>“I thought you said you were here to buy slaves?” The man spoke
crisply, with a high nasally voice. He was not exactly the type of man Darius
had imagined the slave trader would be. Zavca Moore stood about five-foot-four,
was nearly completely bald, and wore thin, gold-rimmed glasses. Still,
something in the glint of his cold steel-blue eyes and tightly drawn mouth told
the story of a man used to being ruthless. He now ran his eyes over Maggie,
quirking an eyebrow. </i></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #fce5cd;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>“I am not a slave. I—” Maggie flinched as Orion raised his hand to hit
her. Darius grabbed his wrist in midair with a loud snap. He glared at Orion,
setting his teeth. He glanced around and relaxed the muscles in his face and
shoulders, releasing his grip.</i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-indent: 1.0cm;">
<span style="color: #fce5cd;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>“Not in front of our host, Gorga,” he told Orion imperiously, turning
to give Zavca a smile. Noting he was still staring at Maggie, Darius explained.
“Oh, she—well let’s just say…” He took Zavca by the elbow and steered him away
to speak confidentially. “…she’s a little tiresome. Beautiful, yes,” he said
looking back at her, “but tiresome. Gorga can’t seem to tame her tongue no
matter what he does. And believe me, he’s done his best.” Darius chuckled. “I
was wondering if you might consider taking her in trade. I’ll pay good money
for the rest, I assure you. I want to get her off my hands and find myself some
new beauties, if you know what I mean.” He elbowed Zavca, playing up his
spoiled rich man’s role to the hilt. </i></span></span></div>

hasn’t met a slave he couldn’t subdue somehow or other, right Mic?” The
Neanderthal beside him showed a toothless grin, rubbing his hugely muscled arms
forebodingly. Maggie shivered. “Take her to my room. I’ll be in shortly.”</i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">I strained to release my arm from Griffith’s vise-like grip
while scanning the surrounding trees, trying to determine which was less of a
threat, the beast of a man holding me or those who might be waiting for me in
the woods.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">“You will come inside, now.” Griffith spoke slowly and
deliberately as if I were a small child.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">I batted at the hand Griffith placed on my head. “I’m not a

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">“I will protect you.” Griffith’s warm breath caressed my
ear. “If for no other reason, to find out what I’m giving up and why she wants
you so badly.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">I inhaled his masculine scent, like musky earth. It washed
over my face, and the tension in my jaw released. I stopped struggling. “Are
you the devil?” My tongue was thick and heavy so the words came out slurred.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">“Not even close.” His words soothed and comforted, like
having a weighted blanket cocoon me. Each movement was an effort. It wasn’t the
same as the thing in the woods. This was more like the feeling after a long
massage or bubble bath.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #fce5cd;">“It’s not safe.” Griffith wrapped his arms around me, and I

A former mercenary, he’s come disguised as a fool to get near Edwina, long adored from afar. Edwina quickly falls for his charm and quirky humor even though she fears her father will never approve of a commoner for her husband. But when Edwina is abducted, only Thorstan—a skilled swordsman— has hope of rescuing her in time for the promised Christmas wedding.</span></span><br />

Though her imagination frequently takes her to far off places, she is usually happiest at home not far from Lake Ontario with her husband and her "fur" child, a rescue dog. Author of Scottish romance Devil Black as well as The Guardians of Sherwood Trilogy consisting of Daughter of Sherwood, Champion of Sherwood and Lord of Sherwood, she is currently working on the second book of a new Steampunk romance series and has two Christmas novellas releasing this season: The Tenth Suitor and Mrs. Claus and the Viking Ship.</span></span></b>Christine Elaine Blackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16839325449705713054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673529799593679574.post-2196160108183310892014-11-20T19:23:00.000-08:002014-11-20T19:23:59.485-08:00Great Deal - Limited Time<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">Tough, driven Kit Kendall has replaced her frills and dresses with no nonsense haircuts and wranglers, years ago. As owner of Sage Brush, the once thriving west Texas bed and breakfast ranch, she now struggles daily to keep her business afloat. Since McCabe Resort Lodge reopened next door as a multi-million dollar hotel, her financial difficulties compound, as she suffers one cancellation after another.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">Just when she thought things couldn’t get any worse, Kit’s childhood sweetheart turned nemesis returns as the new owner of the resort that’s now putting her out of business, resurrecting memories she thought she’d buried long ago.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">Cowboy, entrepreneur Sam Dawson has returned to Sugar Creek, Texas after six years of exile with a secret that could destroy Kit’s happiness. He left town because of it and for the past two years has secretly tried to make it right. Having failed, he now returns to make one last attempt to undo the tangled web created by his father.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">Set in motion by his father’s Last Will and Testament and with the clock ticking, Sam has only weeks to convince Kit to sell him her ranch or reveal the truth that will break her heart.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">Excerpt</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">Sam could tell she was spitting mad. He watched her jerk the seatbelt over her chest several times before he reached over to click it into place.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">He straightened up and glanced at her as he turned into the street. “Is that steam I see coming from your ears?”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">Kit responded by snapping her arms across her chest.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">He heaved a sigh and shook his head. “She told you, didn’t she?”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">Kit didn’t say a word she just stared out the window.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">“I’m sorry you had to find out that way. I was going to stop by tonight and tell you myself.”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">“How thoughtful of you. So. What do you want?”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">“Sorry?”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">“For access to the land. Otherwise my guests have no place to hunt or fish.”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">“Sell me the road frontage I need.” He’d deliberately forced her hand and hated himself for it. But far better for her to part with a few measly acres than lose everything. And if she ended up hating him in the process then so be it. He cursed both their fathers under his breath.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">Kit’s mouth fell open and she slowly turned to face him, hoarse laughter tumbling from her lips.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">“You’ve got to be kidding. After this stunt, do you really think I’d sell an inch of my property to you? One Kendall made the mistake of caving to a Dawson’s blackmail, but let me assure you, this one won’t.”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">He hated what he was about to do. Hated to force her hand, but she gave him no choice. When did she become so stubborn? Gritting his teeth, he continued.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">“Then I won’t allow you to use the Lowman property for access. You’ll be forced to shut down. Sage Brush will close. You’ll be through. You’ll lose your property to the bank when they foreclose. Then it’ll only be a matter of time before I have it all anyway. Is that really what you want?”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">“Why you no good, conniving, lowlife.”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">“Look at it this way, if I get the road frontage I need, then you get to stay in business. It’s a win-win.”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">They slowed to a stop outside of her house.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">Kit opened the truck door then turned to face him.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">“You would actually do that? You’d put Trip and Jake out of work? And what about Maggie? Have you even thought of her?”<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">“I told you, you wouldn’t like it.”</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">When Julie Paver’s husband Matt moves his business to
Atlanta, she is forced to leave behind her thriving jewelry boutique, Stones.
The move threatens their twenty-five-year marriage, because now if Matt isn’t
out of town negotiating a merger, he’s spending late hours on overseas phone
calls with his sexy-sounding second-in-command. Feeling neglected and unloved,
Julie seeks closure by reconnecting with her first love, Manny, when he pursues
her with his Internet innuendos. Manny is unaware he’s the father of Julie’s
son, and Julie contemplates revealing the secret to him on the eve of their
son’s wedding. But would such a walk down memory lane be worth the cost? Julie
and Manny finally meet at her oceanfront condo — in the midst of a hurricane —
and elements collide to create the perfect storm in a coming-of-middle-age
crisis.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">To go or not to go to Palm Coast is no longer the question. The
question is what will I do once I get there? Will I really have the nerve to
reconnect, or as my daughter Natalie likes to say, “hook up,” again with Manny
Gellar? How will I feel tomorrow when I see him alone for the first time after
twenty-five years? Will I finally reveal what I feel compelled—no, what</span></div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">I’m busting a gut—to tell him? That he has a beautiful son,
that our son Josh is getting married in just three months? I’m probably
rationalizing, but I think he finally has a right to know.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">If I could, I’d fix what is wrong with my marriage and put
it back the way it was before, as easily as Ricardo fixed my washing machine. Before
Matt yanked me out of Miami by my roots as if I were a noxious weed he was
tossing out of a flower garden and carelessly transplanted us to Atlanta. </span></div>

agreed to run the company for them from Atlanta for the next two years, barely
consulting me. Before the German occupation, or rather before he became preoccupied</span></div>

<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">What is the most difficult part of writing a love story?</span><span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: x-large;">Building
tension in the relationship. I
always want things to happen too quickly.</span><br />

<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">Is creating a book title easy for you? Tell us about the
process.</span><span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: x-large;">Coming up with the title is the first thing I do before I can even
start writing the book. Anything can inspire me. I may overhear a word or a
phrase and it triggers an idea. When a title pops into my head and I know it’s
the right one, then I can begin. My background is Marketing and Public
Relations so for me, writing a creative title is the easy part. That said, in
my eighth book with The Wild Rose Press, which is under contract, the original
title was “Murder on the Repositioning Cruise,” and I had to shorten it to Killer
Cruise, because it was consistent with the other two-word titles in my psychic
mystery series: Sixth Sense and Homecoming Homicides. And not everyone knew
what a repositioning cruise was. But by the time I renamed it, I had already
written the book. Other than that, all of my books retained their original names.
One of my favorite titles is Murder at the Outlet Mall, a shopping suspense tale
I co-wrote with my sister, a Florida artist in Ponte Vedra Beach. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: x-large;">Do your characters love the direction you take for them or
do they have other ideas?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: x-large;">The characters always have other ideas. And I usually
go along with them. The characters will have complete conversations in my head
and when that happens, I just listen and write it down.</span><br />

<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: x-large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: x-large;">Many people have said this, but it’s great advice: Finish
the book. The best way to promote your book is to write another one. Hang in there. Don’t give up on your
dream to publish. You may be the last one standing, but eventually you will get
published if you are persistent. Stones was some ten years in the making. And
these days authors have so many paths to publication.</span><br />

<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-size: large;">When twenty-year-old Ashby Overton travels to Overhome
Estate for the summer, she hopes to unearth her ancestral roots and the cause
of a mysterious family rift surrounding the horseback riding death of her
Grandmother Lenore many years ago.</span><br />

Ashby feels an invisible, enfolding presence. She learns the room
belonged to a woman named Rosabelle, but no one is willing to talk about
Rosabelle—no one except Luke, the stable boy who captures her heart. As Ashby
and Luke become closer, she realizes he can be the confidant she
needs to share the terrifying, unfolding secrets. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-size: large;"> Ever present is a force Ashby never sees, only
feels. Candles light themselves, notes from an old lullaby fall from the
ceiling, the radio tunes itself each day. And roses, always meant for
Ashby, appear in the unlikeliest places. Are the roses a symbol of love,
or do they represent something dark, something deep and evil?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">Great to have you as a guest today, Susan. I always ask the question "What draws you as a reader to the romance genre?"</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;">Actually, I do not read “pure” romance by choice. I love
romance in other guises—Gothic -romance, for example or mystery-romance. To me
as a reader a little romance goes a long way. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So it needs to be GOOD!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;">As a writer, I tend to lean in the same direction—subtle
romance to enhance the mystery or the adventure or action. For my cozy
mystery/Southern Gothic A Red, Red Rose, I leave much of the gore and sex to
the reader’s imagination; Shakespeare might call it “off-stage.” I feel this
technique leads the reader on, titillating and encouraging mental images
without boundaries. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">Something I always wonder is "What is the most difficult part of writing a love story?"</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;">Well, let me begin by telling you the easiest part:
conflict. In life, isn’t all romance made up of multiple conflicts? Will my
parents approve? Is he right for me? Is it love or simply fascination?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a mystery writer, I find plotting
conflict is paramount and thus easily extended to the romantic elements
involved. For example, in A Red, Red Rose, for her first serious tryst with
Luke, Ashby, my protagonist, arrives late—having overslept in a nap. She had
wanted to look perfect—but she’s a mess—hair tousled and no makeup—rain-soaked
and mud-splattered. Luke could not care less. He wants romance! But when they
finally settle in the hayloft, a swarm of wasps threatens to completely thwart
any love-making on the horizon. Conflict! It’s the root of all romance. What’s
hard is writing realistically about the physical details without sounding
melodramatic , awkward or unnatural.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">Is creating a book title easy for you? Tell us about the
process.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;">It seems my books entitle themselves! I usually look for a
recurring theme or symbol rather than plot or character for my titles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, I am generally well along with
the writing before the title emerges. The sequel to A Red, Red Rose is entitled
Beneath the Stones (The Wild Rose Press, publication date TBA). Stones are
symbolic throughout the novel, so the reader is always looking for the
connection with the title.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">Do your characters love the direction you take for them or
do they have other ideas?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;">Now, that’s an interesting question. I know authors who say
their characters talk to them—guiding the story. Alice Walker, author of The
Color Purple, for example, lived with her characters—moving from location to
location, sometimes at their whim. My characters don’t converse with me—sometimes
I wish they would! But they often do seem to take matters into their own hands
as I am writing about them. It’s like an idea is suddenly transmitted from
their mind to mine! And I admit that often I take a character down one road,
only to realize it’s the wrong path for him or her. That’s when the delete key
comes in handy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">Any tips for writers that you’d love to share?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;">Writing is such a personal journey that every writer must
chart her own path. Life experiences, values, preferences, loves and losses,
inspiration, role models—unique for every writer— will guide and mold and
refine the individual’s craft.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That said, I would add that every writer must also be an avid reader and
a close observer of life, in general,</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;"> and of people, places
and events specifically.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who knows
when that bubbling mountain stream might flow its way into a setting? Smell it,
hear it, feel it, look closely at its depths and shallows for sensory details
and jot it all down in a journal or relegate it to your writer’s memory bank.
The quirky, brilliant professor whose classes generate mental lightning could
be a character in your next novel. Store his mannerisms, his speech patterns,
his retro clothes in your data base and bring it all out when the time comes. No
detail is too small for the observant writer’s sensory antennae. Do you
remember your very first extended trip away from home? The excitement of the
unknown—the hopes for adventure and stimulating discoveries? Dredge up those
impressions and infuse your journeying character with hopes and fears and
expectations akin to your own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Every reader can relate to the human experience.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-size: large;"><strong>Excerpt from A Red, Red Rose:</strong></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As suddenly as it began, the music stopped.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bewildered, I held out the candle as though it might
illuminate the harmony I had heard so clearly only moments ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Except for the dying sputter of the
storm, all was quiet again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
ears strained, listening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Faintly
this time, but distinctly, I heard the melody again, this time in the hall
outside my closed bedroom door.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Barefoot, holding the candlestick in front of me, I moved slowly to the
door, drew the latch, and, without thinking, only feeling the music, I followed
the mellow strains, like a child of Hamlin behind the Pied Piper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Descending the steep steps, on the
first floor, now, I continued to follow the path of the music, through the
dining room, to the old keeping room and out a door I had never used or even
noticed before, </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I halted, shook my head, trying to clear out the hypnotic tones that
crowded out all thought and plugged my senses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once again, the music abated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was like a game of musical chairs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where was I?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No longer in the house, I felt the damp night air on my bare
arms, and rough floorboards beneath my bare feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Holding the candle at arm’s length, I crept forward, a step
at a time, my other hand grasping at the air in front.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt like a blind person without a
guide dog. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My reaching fingers brushed
across a grainy surface, and crumbling powder dusted my fingertips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instantly, I recognized the metallic
smell of old, rusting screens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
knew then I must be on the ancient screened porch tucked between the wings of
the house, the crumbling porch with the antique rocking chairs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The old part of the house, reached only
by the door in the keeping room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The music had led me here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Again the strains wafted over and around me, holding me captive as I
stood, shivering, gazing at the dim light of my flickering candle.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The music stopped as abruptly as it had begun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Struggling to clear the cobwebs of sound spinning in my
brain, I took a deep breath and looked around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sensed, rather than saw a movement in my
periphery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I turned, I became
aware of one of the old rocking chairs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Gently, so as to be barely perceptible, the chair rocked itself back and
forth as though someone invisible sat in it, enjoying the languorous, rhythmic
motion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rocking, rocking, rocking,
without any sound at all. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Not conscious of moving, I found myself standing beside the ancient
rocker, now motionless, dusty, the seat sagging within inches of the floor, as
though it had not moved in a hundred years. I had not dreamed it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The chair had rocked itself, and
someone or something had led me here to witness it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Led me with the music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I had the evidence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the
decaying cane seat lay a single fresh rose just out of bud</span></span><span style="color: #f4cccc;">.</span><br />

<b><span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA">Excerpt:</span></span></span></b></div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA">Slowly she raised her head. Unshed tears
filled her eyes, making them glisten like liquid stars. Evan felt a lump form
in his own throat. She blinked rapidly in what Evan suspected was a conscious
effort to hide her emotions. A knot tightened his gut. He had the sudden urge
to take Ali in his arms, as he’d done the day she arrived, and bury her face
against his chest, preferably without the argument that followed. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA">In the very back of his over-used
imagination, he could see her coming willingly into his arms. He could feel the
heat of her tears against his chest. His reaction surprised and frightened him
in equal measure. He didn’t want to feel this way about her, especially when he
knew she wouldn’t stay.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA">“Me, too,” she admitted softly, drawing
Evan’s attention from her teary eyes to her soft, pink lips. The tears she’d
been fighting back so tenaciously now pearled on her lashes, threatening to
spill forth at any second.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA">Evan moved away from the tree, inching his
way around Cody and close to Allison’s side. Cautiously, he lifted his hand and
caught the first tear on his thumb, uncertain of exactly what had made her cry,
yet knowing he selfishly welcomed the chance to offer her comfort.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA">“When I left South America, the only thing
I could think of was coming here. I wanted desperately to feel the lush grass
beneath my bare feet and to smell the fresh, clean air.”</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA">“I don’t care what made you decide to come
home. You’re here now and welcome to stay as long as you like.” Drawing her
into his arms, he held her close and tilted her chin up with his fingertips
until their gazes met.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA">At the first touch of his lips to hers,
Evan tasted the cinnamon and apple of the dessert they’d just consumed. He
pressed his lips more firmly to hers. She hesitated only briefly before returning
his kiss with one of her own. He barely had time to consider what they’d done
when Ali’s trembling voice broke through his consciousness.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA">“Evan,” she whispered. “Don’t, please.”
Pressing her hands to his chest, she pushed lightly. Yet, when he would have
backed away, she clenched the front of his shirt tightly in her fists. “We
can’t . . .” she warned, still seemingly unwilling to let him go.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA">“Ali, it was only a kiss.”</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA">She looked up at him with tear-filled eyes
and Evan knew if he didn’t let her go he’d likely do something they’d both
regret. Gently, he grasped her hands in his and pulled them from the death grip
she’d taken on his shirt. With his thumb he wiped away a final spent tear then
released her completely. A moment later he was on his feet and walking back
toward the damaged fence. It would take every ounce of strength he possessed,
he realized, to keep from turning around and taking her into his arms again.</span></span></span></div>

career and stable financial future, but is it enough? Her world is

Mitchell is ruthless in the court room, but outside those doors, his easy
charm, good looks and unlimited stream of female companions gives him an
unscrupulous reputation. Six years ago Christina saw beyond his façade,
but the emotions she evoked scared him and he pushed her away. Now he
wants a second chance and he is determined to get her back...even if he has to
play dirty.</i></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">she closed the door behind him. Wearing her best business face, she
returned to this disastrous meeting and sat. Christina drew in a deep breath,
and a measure of control was restored. She picked up her pen and flipped open
the case file. “So, according to these documents, your client is contesting the
divorce?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Steven reached across the table and snatched the pen
from her hand. “What’s the rush, Christina? We haven’t seen each other in
years. There’s a lot of catching up to do.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

chair, frowning. “You’re not still holding a grudge, are you? What happened was
so long ago. I hoped we could start fresh, as friends.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Are you freaking serious?” She glared an icy stare.
Forget a slow death by high heel. She’d get more pleasure strangling him with
her bare hands. “You accused me of misconduct, had me fired, and now you want
to be friends?” Her heart thumped a rapid beat in her ears. “You’re out of your
mind.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">Aye, Curlew thought ruefully, she
could not be ruined more completely than at his hands last night. And if he
sent her home with his child in her belly, what then? He realized, with a
shock, he did not even know her given name.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">A bit brusquely he said, “Gather
up your clothing, lass. Cover yourself. You must go home.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">“Nay.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">“Do not be daft. Of course you
must. Your father will be beside himself.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">“You promised.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">“Eh?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">Stubborn light flashed in her
eyes. “You gave a vow last night that you would never send me away from you.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">Had he? Dismay crashed down upon
Curlew like a hurled stone. But he had thought she was the Lady, asking from
him a vow of devotion. He did not know he spoke words to a mortal woman.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">He got to his feet, heedless of
his nakedness, and began collecting her shed garments and thrusting them at her.
“To be sure, you will go home.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">“Nottingham is not my home.” She
tipped back her head to look at him. “I belong nowhere, except maybe here with
you.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">Curlew shook his head violently.
He turned from her and took up his own clothing, pulled his sark over his head
even as she watched, donned his leather tunic, then slid into his leather
leggings.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">“Master Curlew?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">He turned back to her swiftly.
She sat with her chemise clutched to those tantalizing breasts, her eyes wide
with inquiry.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">“Listen to me, Mistress Montfort.
You are not for me, nor I for you.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">“But last night—”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">“Despite last night.” In spite of
the wonder and magic of it, the undeniable sense of rightness. “For I have a
destiny before me, one I cannot escape, and would not if I could. I regret, but
you have chosen the wrong man.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">She got to her feet, her clothing
still caught against her. The autumn sun, filtering through the leaves, warmed
her hair to amber-gold. “I do not believe that.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">“You must. Now dress yourself. I
will see you safe to the edge of the forest.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">She did not move. Like a goddess
she stood and looked at him with defiance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">Curlew felt an unexpected twinge
of sympathy for Montfort. Who could fail to love this lass, or be driven beyond
endurance by her? “Please,” he said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;">The corners of her mouth
twitched. “I regret, my lord, I would do most anything to please you. Anything
but that.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f9cb9c; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

glamour of the stage. But perhaps acting and selling one’s favors are not so
different—for Laura must feign pleasure with the men she beds to survive. Now,
with her only friend at death’s door and a ruthless pimp at her heels, escaping
her occupation seems impossible. Hoping to attract a gentleman, she attends the
theater. Yet the man Laura captivates is no customer, but a rising star and

Temptation of Laura<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">One of the
most frequently questions asked of authors is, “Where do you get your ideas?”
The simple answer is everywhere, but that rarely satisfies the curious reader
or aspiring author…but it’s the truth.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Ideas can
come from newspapers, TV shows, snippets of conversation, the author’s life
experiences, their friends and family’s experiences, moral issues, books and
films. The list goes on.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">The
inspiration for The Temptation of Laura was already established before I
started writing the novel. Laura is a secondary character in the debut book of
my Victorian romance series with eKensington, The Seduction of Emily. In this
book, Laura is a prostitute who the hero goes to for help in the hope of
imprisoning the villain. The more Laura appeared in the book, the more I
learned and liked about her. I wanted to tell her story…luckily my editor suggested
it first!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">My
Victorian books are set in and around Bath so I started thinking about famous
buildings in Bath that I could use in my next book. I eventually decided on the
Theatre Royal. How could I use Laura’s prostitution and the theatre?<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">I started
trawling the Internet for accounts of famous prostitutes turned actresses –
that was when inspiration struck in the form of Nell Gwynn. Nell’s story
fascinated me. A prostitute, turned actress, turned mistress of Charles II who
bore him two children. What a story!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">I read a
couple of biographies on Nell’s life and then the novel, The Darling Strumpet
by Gillian Bagwell, which I absolutely loved. Roll forward another 200 years
and Laura Robinson, prostitute turned actress, was alive and very real in my
imagination.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">The
Temptation of Laura was a joy to write and covers poverty, hope, loss, joy,
success and ultimately, true love. I hope readers enjoy Laura and Adam’s
journey as much as I did writing it. Once I’d finished, another secondary
character pushed her way to the front of the queue and I am writing her story
as we speak. EKensington have contracted this book and another so long may
inspiration strike!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d9ead3; font-size: large;">When Julie Paver’s husband Matt moves his business to
Atlanta, she is forced to leave behind her thriving jewelry boutique, Stones.
The move threatens their twenty-five-year marriage, because now if Matt isn’t
out of town negotiating a merger, he’s spending late hours on overseas phone
calls with his sexy-sounding second-in-command. Feeling neglected and unloved,
Julie seeks closure by reconnecting with her first love, Manny, when he pursues
her with his Internet innuendos. Manny is unaware he’s the father of Julie’s
son, and Julie contemplates revealing the secret to him on the eve of their
son’s wedding. But would such a walk down memory lane be worth the cost? Julie
and Manny finally meet at her oceanfront condo — in the midst of a hurricane —
and elements collide to create the perfect storm in a coming-of-middle-age
crisis.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d9ead3; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fce5cd; font-size: large;">Excerpt:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fce5cd; font-size: large;">To go or not to go to Palm Coast is no longer the question. The
question is what will I do once I get there? Will I really have the nerve to
reconnect, or as my daughter Natalie likes to say, “hook up,” again with Manny
Gellar? How will I feel tomorrow when I see him alone for the first time after
twenty-five years? Will I finally reveal what I feel compelled—no, what</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fce5cd; font-size: large;">I’m busting a gut—to tell him? That he has a beautiful son,
that our son Josh is getting married in just three months? I’m probably
rationalizing, but I think he finally has a right to know.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fce5cd; font-size: large;">If I could, I’d fix what is wrong with my marriage and put
it back the way it was before, as easily as Ricardo fixed my washing machine. Before
Matt yanked me out of Miami by my roots as if I were a noxious weed he was
tossing out of a flower garden and carelessly transplanted us to Atlanta. Before
we moved a state away from my family and my best friend and a business I’d
worked a lifetime to create. Before Matt sold his freight-expediting business
to a German conglomerate for mega-millions and agreed to run the company for
them from Atlanta for the next two years, barely consulting me. Before the German
occupation, or rather before he became preoccupied with his sexy-sounding
German second-in-command,Gretchen. Before he stopped sleeping with me in the
biblical sense. Before I turned fifty.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fce5cd; font-size: large;">All I really want is closure. I’m convinced that meeting
Manny Gellar again is the only way I will ever come full circle and reconnect
with my life.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;">Tough, driven Kit Kendall has replaced her frills and
dresses with no nonsense haircuts and wranglers, years ago. As owner of Sage
Brush, the once thriving west Texas bed and breakfast ranch, she now struggles
daily to keep her business afloat. Since McCabe Resort Lodge reopened next door
as a multi-million dollar hotel, her financial difficulties compound, as she
suffers one cancellation after another.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;">Just when she thought things couldn’t get any worse, Kit’s
childhood sweetheart turned nemesis returns as the new owner of the resort
that’s now putting her out of business, resurrecting memories she thought she’d
buried long ago. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;">Cowboy, entrepreneur Sam Dawson has returned to Sugar Creek,
Texas after six years of exile with a secret that could destroy Kit’s
happiness. He left town because of it and for the past two years has secretly
tried to make it right. Having failed, he now returns to make one last attempt
to undo the tangled web created by his father.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;">Set in motion by his father’s Last Will and Testament and
with the clock ticking, Sam has only weeks to convince Kit to sell him her
ranch or reveal the truth that will break her heart. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">Sam could tell she was spitting mad. He watched her jerk the
seatbelt over her chest several times before he reached over to click it into
place.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">He straightened up and glanced at her as he turned into the
street. “Is that steam I see coming from your ears?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">Kit responded by snapping her arms across her chest. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list-ins: "SMP Debby" 20131118T1522; mso-list: none;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">He
heaved a sigh and shook his head. “She told you, didn’t she?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">Kit didn’t say a word she just stared out the window.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">“I’m sorry you had to find out that way. I was going to stop
by tonight and tell you myself.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">“How thoughtful of you. So. What do you want?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">“Sorry?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">“For access to the land. Otherwise my guests have no place
to hunt or fish.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">“Sell me the road frontage I need.” He’d deliberately forced
her hand and hated himself for it. But far better for her to part with a few
measly acres than lose everything. And if she ended up hating him in the
process then so be it. He cursed both their fathers under his breath.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">Kit’s mouth fell open and she slowly turned to face him,
hoarse laughter tumbling from her lips.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">“You’ve got to be kidding. After this stunt, do you really
think I’d sell an inch of my property to you? One Kendall made the mistake of
caving to a Dawson’s blackmail, but let me assure you, this one won’t.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">He hated what he was about to do. Hated to force her hand,
but she gave him no choice. When did she become so stubborn?</span></div>

and a chip on his shoulder that threw his balance off all the more.” When he
falls in love with the dark haired beauty born of an Irish father and a Spanish

charming Sean Hennessey? When Gabby catches his eye, too, will Teddy’s playboy
best friend cause his own damage?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">“Tessie…” He
offered again. “We have to get out of here.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">She remained
frozen in her spot, staring blindly over the cliff. He moved a step closer and
gently grasped her elbow. “Tess—”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">She whirled
around and his heart caught in his chest as he stared into her wild green eyes.
Tears shone on her damp cheeks, glimmering in the moonlight like trails of
scattered diamonds. “Nay, Michael,” she said, her words coming out choked. “I
have to tell them the truth. It’s my fault. …I k-killed him.” She sobbed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">He looked at her
sadly, begging her, “Let me help you.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">The back door
creaked open and light spilled out from the bar across the grass, startling
them. He saw Jimmy Flynn’s outline in the doorway. “They’re out here!” he
yelled.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">Without waiting
for a response, Michael took Tess’s arm and steered her along the cliff’s edge.
He stepped over the railing and helped her to the other side as well. They
stood on a narrow ledge. To the left a trail dropped off toward the sea. He led
her skittering down the path, loose rock pebbling the beach far below. He had
taken the pathway many a night when he was drunk and feeling particularly
reckless. Tonight he hurried over it with only self-preservation and Tess’s
safety in mind.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">They heard
voices above them, coming from every direction as searchers fanned out along
the top of the cliff. Their eyes met. They hardly dared to breathe. A
flashlight beam ventured over the railing and along the cliff face. She
clutched his hand, squeezing it until he lost feeling in his fingers. He tried
to flatten himself even more tightly against the rock face, wishing it would
somehow melt and absorb them. Several seconds passed and the beam of light was
joined by another, and another, each swinging away, and then toward them again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: large;">He grabbed a quick look at the
churning sea below then closed his eyes for a second, and his stomach dropped.
He took a deep breath before turning his head to look at Tess. Her eyes were
closed and her lips were moving fervently, but she emitted no sound. He
swallowed, wondering again why the sight of her affected him so. After several
minutes a voice called out, “You won’t get away with this, Mikey.” Had someone
seen them? He heard Jimmy Flynn mutter, “Wherever they are, we won’t find them
tonight.” One by one the lights disappeared until only a solitary beam shone.</span></div>

for the night as he swung into the saddle. </i></div>

One of the rangers who’d been assisting with his
investigation answered the call.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Find anything interesting up there?” Randy Gifford
asked.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Just a camper in a restricted area.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You think it could be the guy you’re looking for?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s a woman. Camping where she shouldn’t be. I’m going to
make sure she leaves in the morning, then return to my original route.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You may want to reconsider. That storm front I mentioned
earlier is moving a lot faster than expected. It’s over the Never Summer
Mountain Range and will reach your area tonight. Temperature’s dropping, too,
so be prepared.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joel surveyed the heavy, gray clouds he’d noticed earlier.
“What are they forecasting?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“If it keeps moving, a couple inches. If it stalls, up to a
foot.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He muttered a curse. That would be a problem. “If that
happens, we could be up here for a few days, so yeah, scrap the original route.
The closest trailhead is Longs Peak, can you get someone to drop off my truck
and trailer over there in the morning?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Will do.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Five minutes later, he rode back into Brittany Lucas’s camp
as she threw a couple pieces of wood on the campfire that’d been nothing but
banked coals when he left. She brushed off her hands before bracing them on her
hips.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Now what?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He dismounted to unpack his gear. “I’ll be camping here with
you tonight.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ranger Morgan, let me assure you, I have every intention of
leaving in the morning.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“And until then, I’ll make sure you stay safe.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I don’t need you to babysit me,” she insisted, irritation
flooding her voice as she sat by the fire.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ignoring the fact she’d heard him earlier, he met her stare
over the top of Nobel’s saddle. “You got a gun?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her gaze faltered. “No.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well, the poacher does, so I’m staying.” That shut her up,
until he tossed his sleeping bag inside her tent.</div>
