Jessica “Baby” Campbell is desperate.
After being mugged a year ago, fear has taken over her life. Now a stalker is sending her death threats and she’ll do anything to feel safe again. Even turn to the man who rejected her so soundly.
Former Navy SEAL Joe Catrell wants nothing to do with the pint sized beauty. She’s the spitting image of the woman who betrayed him and crushed his heart into dust. Yet, he can’t deny himself, especially when Baby begs for his help.
She’s all wrong for him, but wrong has never felt so right.
Excerpt
Chapter Two
While Joe checked out her townhouse for threats, Baby gathered the mail from the foyer rug and leafed through the envelopes. Although she couldn’t hear him moving through her home, she was aware of his presence on a level she’d never experienced before.
But for the first time since meeting him, his presence in her life was unwanted. The knowledge of why he was currently checking her second story for bad guys sent her thoughts spiraling back an hour. Bitch. Bitch. Bitch. The word seemed to be burned into her retinas. How would she ever stop seeing it? Who had she angered so much that they’d go to such a length?
Bitch.
A shiver raced up her spine. If someone had gotten close enough to do that to Little Red, they’d been close enough to get to Baby. A year ago she wouldn’t have believed that anyone would want to do her physical harm, but she’d been naive.
She hated, absolutely detested with the kind of rage that ate slowly at your soul and burned in your gut like acid, she hated being so scared. She hated feeling small and defenseless. She hated feeling weak.
How was it she worked out at a gym three times a week, lifting weights no less, and she still felt like a ragdoll? It wasn’t just strong, virile men who made her feel easily over powered, it was men in general. Even men like Bob, the brutish paralegal at the office, who only had six inches on her five foot frame.
“Everything looks okay,” Joe murmured, his voice softer than usual, as if he didn’t want to scare her.
Baby squared her shoulders and took a deep breath before she turned around. Raking her eyes over his powerful frame she wondered why she never felt weak or scared around him?
Sure, he was over a foot taller than her and probably had seventy-five pounds of muscle more than she did. And surely he knew a dozen ways to kill her. But as he stared down at her, she felt nothing but feminine and safe. And those were two things she craved above all others.
Determined to not let the fear and anxiety ruin the rest of her day, she shot him a smile.
“Am I free to move about the cabin?” she quipped.
He nodded and stepped to the side. She strode forward until she stood in front of him, close enough to reach out and touch, to feel the heat rolling off of him.
He tensed, as she’d known he would. He didn’t want her attentions and he’d made that clear. She certainly wasn’t going to force herself on a man, despite what he might think.
“Thank you for checking for bad guys. I appreciate it. Probably more than you know.” She continued forward but his hand closed around her wrist, pulling her back around. Glancing from his hand on her arm to his eyes and back again, she relished his warmth and the tingle that coursed through her.
“Why don’t you tell me what’s going on?” he said, his voice softening. “Start at the beginning.”
She nodded her agreement.
“Follow me.”
After tucking the mail in her purse, she headed up the stairs to the second bedroom, which she used as her home office. The colorful cow painting behind her desk hid a wall safe. Joe didn’t say anything as she dialed in the combination and pulled the door open.
“It’s cliché, I know. Safe in the wall behind a painting but I feel very Jane Bond.”
She grinned as she handed over the folder.
If she wasn’t mistaken, his lips twitched. Maybe he wasn’t so uptight after all and there was a sense of humor under the battle armor.
The almost smile faded from his lips and after the second page he put the whole folder on her desk, reached for a tissue from the mother-of-pearl holder on the corner and used it to flip through the letters. By the last one, she detected a full on Joe Catrell frown, but he had his head ducked so she wasn’t sure.
“How long has this been going on?”
He didn’t look at her, rather, went back through the letters.
“Three months.”
“Is this everything?”
“Except for his handy work on Little Red, yes.”
“Phone calls?”
“Yes. Twice. Once at work. Once on my cell. Both calls came from a private number.”
He closed the folder and tossed the tissue into the trash. “And the letters, how do you get them?”
“The first one was on my desk at work. The second—” She rubbed the ache between her eyebrows. “Do you mind if we finish this discussion downstairs? I need to get ready for Girls’ Night.” And normalcy.
She needed to be around people, her favorite people. And she needed wine almost more than she needed to get away from those letters. Stomach turning to a full blown churn, she glanced anxiously at the door.
“Sure,” he said and waved the folder toward the hall.
“They’re always in those envelopes,” she said of the half dozen, plain white envelopes in the back of the folder. As a lawyer, she knew everything was evidence and threw nothing away. “Nondescript. Sometimes they’re in my mail.”
“And the other times?” Joe asked, following her to the kitchen.
“Stuck through the slot sometime after I went to bed. It was waiting for me when I woke up.” It chilled her to admit that, to say the words as if there were a part of everyday conversation. Threats like this probably were part of Joe’s everyday life.
“Have you noticed anyone out of the ordinary? At work or at home? Perhaps a jogger?”
She went to the pantry for snacks and thought back. The truth was she was hyper alert since her mugging. She worried about her friends and family more. And she was doing her best to stay sane but not knowing who was behind this was making her crazy.
“I can’t think of anyone specific.” She saw the cloud of frustration come down across his face like storm shutters. “Before you get upset that I’m obviously not concerned for my safety, know that I have been paying attention. I honestly have.”
As much as it scared her to watch… She closed her eyes. As much as she hated looking over her shoulder, she’d been keeping her eyes and ears open.
He let out a quiet sigh. “All right. I’ll have a guy look into these. Maybe he’s careless and left a useful fingerprint.”
She wrestled with a can of onion dip and he plucked it from her fingers, gave the lid a quick twist and handed it back.

About Today’s Release
As you probably noticed, there wasn’t a release day announcement today. Due to life craziness, I didn’t feel like Beg For It was ready for prime time. This has been a difficult book to get right and all of the chaos of the last six months certainly didn’t make that any easier.
Anyway, I’m sorry if you’ve been waiting anxiously. Watch for Beg For It (starring Joe and Baby) next Tuesday.
So far the reviews are very very good. 
“Man, I just want to jump this guy’s bones!!!!” – Karen
Then, watch for the next story in the series, At Her SEAL’s Command (BDSM romance), in the 11 Alpha Doms box set coming out October 13.

Busy, Busy Bee… I Mean Se
It has been a busy few weeks (months?) around these parts and I’m pretty mentally and physically exhausted. It’s a new kind of exhaustion I haven’t experienced before and in some ways, I enjoy it. And at the same time, I hate it and want my energy reserves to return. Packing, staging, cleaning and readying a house for sale took more time and effort than I’d anticipated thanks to some perfectionist tendencies.
So many areas of my life have taken a back seat. Has that happened to you? How did you get back on track?
How do you find balance?
For me, I’ve decided to get back on a daily multivitamin, add in a half hour of pure exercise (as opposed to counting all the walking, bending, lifting, etc that comes with house sale prep), increase my water consumption and cut out all sugary drinks for at least a week or two, skip the convenience food that have become a staple during our harried life, and take some time to read for pleasure.
I’m hoping that all of that will rebalance things and make me feel fresh and rejuvenated again.
Do you have any tips for getting your equilibrium back after a stressful period? I’d love to hear them! Leave me a comment below.

Rewrite Number 4011
Someone brilliant once said “writing is all about the rewriting.” Okay, I don’t know if anyone actually ever said that but they should have.
Which leads me to… *drumroll* …rewriting my book blurbs. It’s like a sickness. But this time it was for a very good cause…I needed to squeeze 160+ words down to 100.
No small task!
Thank goodness for good friends (like Zoe York).
I present the new, shorter, and improved Fangs, Fur & Mistletoe blurb:
Vampiress Coco Jeffres has one week to get her mojo back. Mystic Isle, the exclusive pleasure playground for paranormals, is just what the doctor ordered. For once she’s choosing lust over love, in the form of a previously forbidden temptation: tall, dark, and oh-so-handsome werewolf Grayson West.
Grayson just wants to blow off some steam before he heads back into the field and he’s more than willing to help a lady find her inner vixen. Especially when she’s the same beautiful blue-eyed vamp he loved a hundred years ago and has never been able to forget.

EXCERPT
“I remember everything,” she whispered, her fangs lengthening.
“This?” he whispered, a large hand splaying across her lower back. Hot. Strong. Possessive. Pulling her closer until their hips brushed.
“Yes.” The word came out as a hiss.
He took her hand and laid it over his heart. The organ beat out a steady rhythm against her palm. She soaked in the heat of his skin, the strength of his chest. “And this?” he asked, his deep voice seducing her as easily as his touch.
“Yes.”
She remembered the sound of his heartbeat thundering in her ears. His pulse, visible in the strong artery in his neck. She’d wanted to taste his blood, sink her fangs into him as he entered her.
She still wanted that.
He cupped her cheek with his other hand and dipped his head. The light from a nearby lamppost lit his eyes. Just as they had all those years ago, his irises flared, and for the briefest of seconds she thought that maybe he could see to the depth of her soul. No one, not even Valencia and certainly not Dmitri, had ever studied her so intensely.
“And this?” he murmured again, their lips less than a centimeter apart.
She smelled whiskey on his breath, one more memory of this night. All she had to do was close the distance and find out if he kissed as well as he did in her dreams.
Just like that night on the battlefield, his thumb traced her jaw line. And just like that night, desire warred with the knowledge that they were not destined to be together.
But she hadn’t come to Mystic Isle for together-forever. She’d come for hot-shout-my-name-sex. She’d come here… to come.
So this time when he glanced back and forth, staring so deeply into her eyes, gauging her response, she let her lips do the talking.
