Throw Back Thursday

For Throw Back Thursday here is a snippet from The Courage To Love book 1 in my series Love On The North Shore.  Book 2 in the series should be out within a few months.



His tone of voice told her so much more than his words alone. He knew she would be checking into her hotel in Boston that Sunday and would start filming on Monday, so he’d associated those events with the end of their time together. That was her fault. Evidently she hadn’t dropped enough hints about continuing their relationship. “I check into The Regency on Sunday, but I don’t see why we can’t keep seeing each other. Even if everything goes according to schedule, I’ll be in Boston for a month.” She leaned in, cupped his face with her hands and dropped the barest of kisses on his mouth.
“I like spending time with you, and Boston isn’t far.” She kissed him again, this time with more pressure as she dropped her hands and looped them over his shoulders. “If you really don’t want to, I’ll accept that but—” She kissed him again, this time she traced the seam between his lips with her tongue until he opened to her, then she plunged inside. She let the kiss continue until Sean’s fingers tangled in her hair and then she pulled back. “I hope that’s not the case.”
Sean pulled her mouth back toward his. “It’s not.” Without any further explanation, he took possession of her mouth again.
Heat unlike anything she’d ever experienced before with a man exploded deep inside her. They were both still fully dressed and already her body quivered from the memory of his rough hands on her skin. It remembered every stroke and pet from the previous night. The rough pads of his fingers had teased her nipples before they sank inside her. During the entire experience he had once again been so gentle it had shocked her. She’d never expected a man of his size could be that gentle, yet he’d treated her as if she might break with one wrong move. Tonight, though, she’d make sure he knew that wasn’t the case.
Breaking away from their kiss, she grabbed the hem of her top and pulled it over her head. She curved her lips into a seductive smile all the while watching Sean’s face. Reaching behind herself, she undid the clasp of her bra and tossed it onto the floor with her top. In front of her Sean swallowed and his erection grew harder against her.
“We need to do something about this,” she whispered as she rubbed her hand across his bulging jeans before pulling at the hem of his T-shirt.

Broken Protocols 3.5 by Dale Mayer

When Charmin Marvin wonders when Christmas Day would be in their new time frame, he sets events in motion no one could have expected.

Dani and Charmin lost a lot when they were brought 200 years into the future. But nostalgia brings the possibility of Christmas back into Dani's life – if she can make it happen.

Levi hates to deny Dani anything, but all holidays were removed from his society by the government decades ago. He has no idea what she's talking about – and when he does research and finds out – he wonders if something can be done. And someone outside of their small family wonders, too…

Dani has the best of intentions – but creating Christmas in a world that no longer knows what a holiday is makes her life very complicated very quickly.

#TeaserTuesday and A Sale

#TeaserTuesday Okay, here is a snippet from The Courage To Love which is bk 1 in my series Love On The North Shore. It is also on sale at AZ this week for .99 cents. My current WIP will be the second book in the series.


“Thanks for not saying, ‘I told you so.’ ”

Sean turned his gaze away from the stars above to the one seated next to him. “I don’t know you well enough.” Bathed in the moonlight, she took on an incandescent look, a living angel on earth.


“I’d like to do something about that.” Mia ran her finger along the side of his face starting with the scar and ending below his lower lip. “I’ll be in North Salem for a little longer.”


Her touch remained feather light, yet it reached inside him and pulled at something more than pure physical desire. Before he could answer, she leaned in and kissed him. A soft sweet kiss. She pulled away before he could fully enjoy the feel of her lips against his.


“What do you say?”


What did he say? He’d be a goddamn idiot if he said no. One of the world’s sexiest women sat next to him and she wanted to start something up. “I’m game.” Only after answering did he realize how crass he sounded, but it was too late to take back the words.


“Good.” With that simple reply, she leaned in to kiss him again.

Worth The Wait Wednesday


This was a readers idea but I like it. Worth The Wait Wednesday. Perfect for those days I get lost in my writing and forget about Teaser Tuesday. Anyway here is an UNEDITED snippet from my current WIP which will be book 2 in my series Love On The North Shore.  This book will feature Jessica Quinn. Readers first saw her in The Billionaire Playboy and saw her again in The Courage To Love.
"Room service does sound rather nice." Jessica forced herself to look at Mack and once again was struck by just how out of her league he was. A guy as handsome as him belonged alongside an equally beautiful woman. A woman who looked like his ex-wife.
Whether he sensed her discomfort or not, he didn't say. Instead he came over and put his arms around her. "You've never had room service?"
"I have only stayed in hotels a few times and I've never wanted to splurge."
He pulled her closer. "We'll have to remedy that someday."





If you have not read book 1 yet in the series pick it and get to know North Salem.







Hollywood sweetheart Mia Troy isn’t looking for love. But then she meets Sean O’Brien a reserved man who sees past her celebrity status.  Can love between a small town guy and an A-list celebrity last?
