#TeaserTuesday Ready for a tiny snippet?


Here is a UNEDITED snippet from More Than A Billionaire, bk 6 in the Sherbrookes of Newport Series

"Look who decided to show up." Derek stood at the door shaking his head. "Trent, you and Jake won that bet."
"Nice to see you too." Gray stepped around his younger brother and inside Trent's apartment.
"I told you and Alec not to bet against us." Trent gave him a slug in the arm.
Derek shrugged. "You both got lucky."
"The four of you were betting on whether or not I'd show up today for the wedding?" Christ.
"No. We took bets on whether you'd get here in time for the ceremony. Alec and Derek figured I'd have to call Curt and ask him to take your place." Trent offered him a drink. "I knew you'd get here in time."
A fantastic insult sat on Gray's tongue but he held it back. If only his brothers and cousin were there he'd let it fly, but their father as well as a man he assumed was Addison's brother stood only feet away.

#TeaserTuesday Time Again

 Here is a short UNEDITED snippet from Loving The Billionaire the novella coming out soon. This novella will feature Ruth Taylor and Warren Sherbrooke, Callie's parents.


“Women are doing a lot of things their mothers didn’t do. I think if you want to live alone you should.” Had he just said that? He sounded like a poster written in support of women’s lib or something. Whether he sounded stupid or not, Ruth didn’t say. Instead she nodded.
“That’s true. I’m the first woman in my family to go to college. Actually, I’m the first person in my family to graduate college.”
Before their conversation could continue down that particular path only highlighting the differences between them, Warren focused back on his real reason for being there. “Do you have any plans for Sunday night?”
With a mouth full of hot chocolate, she could only shake her head.
He leaned forward prepared to take the plunge. “Neither do I. Will you have dinner with me?”
Ruth erupted into a coughing fit. “Did you suddenly forget Sunday is Valentine’s Day, Warren,” she said once she regained control.
“I know that.” When he asked woman out they came back with a yes and what time will you pick me up. They didn’t come back with smart-ass replies. Then again this was Ruth Taylor, not the usual society debutants he dated.
Ruth pointed at him. “You want to have dinner with me on Valentine’s Day?” she asked pointing to her self.
Maybe asking had been a bad idea. Perhaps the little jolt he’d felt when they shared that kiss ringing in the New Year had been one sided. “Yes. You. Me. Dinner. Sunday night.”
She bit down on her bottom lip and looked at him. “Okay.”
The tension in his shoulders disappeared. She’d agreed. “Good. What time should I pick you up?” He reached for his own mug of hot chocolate.

Meet My Character Blog Hop


Welcome to the Meet My Character Blog Hop. Before I tell you about my newest hero, I want to give a thank you out to Mari Christie who invited me to participate. Mari has been a professional writer, editor, and graphic designer for more than twenty years, including work with other authors as a copyeditor, e-book designer, and web marketer. She authors mainstream historical fiction and poetry, and writes Regency romance under the name Mariana Gabrielle. Find out more by visiting her website at www.marichristie.info.

Now onto Trent Sherbrooke the hero of my newest release Redeeming The Billionaire book 5 in The Sherbrookes of Newport Series. Trent Sherbrooke is part of the powerful and politically influential Sherbrooke family. His uncle Warren Sherbrooke if the President of the United States and his cousins Jake, Sara and Callie readers met in previous books in the series. And here he is:



Although Trent owns many homes and has lived in both the United States and Europe his is now back home living in Providence Rhode Island. He has moved back to Rhode Island with the intention of running in the next United States Senate race. Unfortunately, according to his advisor his playboy reputation may hinder his chances. The solution then is for him to become a happily married man before the election season officially kicks off.  Although somewhat reluctant with the idea, Trent decides to follow the expert’s advice. Trent sets out to win over Addison Raimono, the woman his advisor claims is his ticket into the Senate. Soon though what Trent thought would be a relationship of convenience turns into the real thing. 

And that is all I am saying. To find out what happens between Trent and Addison you will just have to read Redeeming The Billionaire, which is now available for all e-readers and in paperback.

Now it is my turn to continue the hop. The following authors will be posting about their heroes next Monday so be sure to check them out.

First up is:


Vikki Vaught started her writing career when a story popped in her head and wouldn’t leave. Over the last three years, she’s written five full length novels and is presently working on her sixth. As an avid reader of historical romance, she's a romantic at heart. Vikki Vaught loves a "Happily Ever After", and she writes them in her stories. While romance is the central theme of all her books, she includes some significant historical event or place in all her novels. She is also published under Vikki McCombie in contemporary and V.L. Edwards in erotic.

Vikki Vaught lives in the beautiful foothills of the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee with her beloved husband, Jim, who is the most tolerant man in the world to put up with her when she’s in a writing frenzy. When she’s not writing or working her day job, you’ll find her curled up in a comfortable chair with her Kindle in hand lost in a good book.



Her books can be found at the following links:

#TeaserTuesday A snippet from Redeeming The Billionaire


Teaser Tuesday is here again. So here  is an UNEDITED snippet of my current WIP Redeeming The Billionaire, book 5 in The Sherbrookes of Newport Series which is currently with my critique partner.
“We all have things that bother us.” He lowered his head toward hers, set on satisfying his need to kiss her while at the same time distracting her from the storm outside.
“Even you?” she asked her voice softer now.
He stopped mere inches from her mouth. “Even me,” he whispered before his lips descended on hers. Against his, her lips were warm and sweet and at first he kept his kisses gentle allowing himself to savor every moment. The longer they kissed the greater the fire inside him burned. When Addie pressed her breasts against him and parted her lips, he couldn’t stop himself from thrusting his tongue inside to meet hers.
Outside another boom of thunder crashed echoing the thudding of his heart. Pulling his mouth away from Addie’s he trailed his lips down her neck and then back up to her ear lob. With his tongue he traced the outline of her ear causing Addie to sigh. With slow movements, he retraced his steps pausing once again at her lips and kissing her before working his way to her other ear. As he sucked on her ear lob, warm skin came in contact with his as Addie’s hands slid under his T-shirt and up his back. At first her movements remained tentative, but when he once again pressed his mouth against hers, they became  more confident. Like a wildfire devouring dry brush, desire overtook him and Trent reached for the buttons on her top.
Without breaking their kiss, he undid each tiny button eager as a little boy on Christmas morning to remove the barrier between them. When he got the last button undone, he pushed the top from her shoulders, tossed it on the floor and then pulled back. For a moment he stared in silence, his eyes taking in the site before him. “Beautiful,” he said as he reached out and slid her bra straps down her shoulders. When she opened her mouth as if to comment, he covered it with his again. Then he reached around her back and undid the hooks of her bra.
