Please welcome Eliza Daly

AUTHOR Bio and Links: 
Eliza Daly’s first attempt at creative writing was in fourth grade. She and her friends were huge Charlie’s Angels fans and she would sit in her bedroom at night writing scripts for them to act out at recess the following day. She was Kelly Garrett. Fast forward to the present, she’s still writing stories about beautiful women who always get their men. The journey from fourth grade script writer to published author wasn’t an easy one, but it was always an adventure and the final destination was well worth it.

When Eliza isn’t traveling for her job as an event planner, or tracing her ancestry roots through Ireland, she’s at home in Milwaukee working on her next novel, bouncing ideas off her husband Mark, and her cats Quigley and Frankie.

Under Her Spell by Eliza Daly 

BLURB:

When a series of failed relationships and business ventures have Monica Jackson doubting her self-worth, she turns to spell casting to attract positive energy and the opportunities needed to achieve her goals. But can Monica’s belief in spells restore her belief in herself?

Monica creates a spell to find her soul mate, and one to ensure the success of her new romantic event planning company, Enhance Your Romance. Monica is confident she has found her niche until divorce lawyer Reed Walker opens a practice next door to her office. The anti-marriage slogan plastered on his office window, and his down-on-love clients, quickly prove detrimental to Monica’s business. When his arrival appears to trigger a string of bad luck, Monica fears one of her spells sent negative energy into the universe and it has returned to her threefold. Although Reed is beyond sexy, and she admires his self-confidence, she’ll do whatever it takes to get the universe back on her side, and Reed out of her life. No way is she losing another business.

Reed finds himself attracted to Monica’s beauty and her optimism. His job and his parents’ divorce have made him a pessimist, especially when it comes to love. However, he soon finds that Monica’s pro-love attitude is rubbing off on him, causing him to lose his edge. If Reed doesn’t distance himself from Monica, he’ll likely destroy his reputation as a pit bull divorce lawyer.

Can Monica and Reed look past what they might be losing to realize the love they have found?


EXCERPT:

Monica turned and her gaze landed on a sign in the window.Marriage isn’t a word, it’s a sentence. I’ll set you free.

She glanced up at the sign over the door. Reed Walker: Family Law.

Focusing on Chico’s lunch specials when she’d driven up, she’d failed to notice the new signs. “A divorce lawyer?” she muttered in disbelief. Her gaze darted over to the guy. “You’re a divorce lawyer? I thought you were a client.” Being attracted to a divorce lawyer was much worse than a client. Suddenly his eyes didn’t seem as blue and his arms looked wimpy. No way was he Italian. Or her soul mate. And what kind of straight guy wore lavender! 
“A client?” He laughed as if that was the most ridiculous thing he’d ever heard. “Ah no, I just started moving in and stopped by to introduce myself.”

“You have to take down that sign.” Monica pointed at his window.“It’s my company motto. Helps attract business.”

“Maybe for you.”

He arched an amused brow. “That’s the idea.”

“You can’t promote divorce.” She clutched his suit jacket, crumpling it in her hand.

“I’m not promoting it. It’s a fact of life. I don’t have any control over the average marriage lasting seven years, or that one in every two ends in divorce.”

Monica’s gaze skittered around frantically as she searched for a response that didn’t involve whipping the socket wrench through his window and mauling the sign to shreds. She spied a black Mercedes parked up the street. The license plate read No Mer-ce.

“Is that your car?” she demanded, pointing at the Mercedes.

“What are you so worried about? Doesn’t bother me being next door to a business that promotes romance and marriage.”

Happy Tuesday!

My goal this week is to finish up the last two chapters of Blade and Callie's story. If you've read A Perfect Fit then you know that Blade is Beau's brother. And I've already come up with an idea for the third brother, Chaz!

True or false...I've been married 3 times

I'm back! And I had a terrific lunch date with my old friend. We visited for about 3 hours. I must say though, I was very disappointed with my GPS! For the first time it let me down. Wouldn't work for me at all so I had to print out the directions, which turned out to be wrong! Three phone calls and two stops later I arrived at the restaurant a half hour late. Me! The person who is never late, and always arrives early. 

And get this, my friend ordered the haddock meal, but they didn't have it. I ordered the shrimp basket, but they didn't have that either! The lunch we ended up having was good, though. And I would go back there. 

Anyone heard of 3 Bananas Restaurant? We went to the one in Crescent City.

Gonna meet a long time friend for lunch today. Excited because we haven't seen each other in something like, 25 years. But we've kept in touch over the years. Now that her hubby is retired from the AF they've put down roots here in Florida.

Here's a little teaser from Hot Spot!

He slammed his mouth down on hers. It didn’t take Sammy long to lose what little resistance she had before melding into the kiss eagerly, proving to him that she was a liar.

When his tongue sought entrance into her mouth, she willingly parted her lips. Once their tongues meshed all hell broke loose. John released her wrists to trail his hands down to her breasts. She lowered her arms to wrap them around his neck.

As his mouth worked against hers, Sammy’s desire grew until the tingle in her taut nipples spread to her aching pussy. She arched against his hard frame, moaning with pleasure when his hard cock throbbed against the apex of her thighs. Yes! She needed him. Needed to be filled and loved. The need coursing through her body was intense and demanded to be fed.

But at what cost? Sammy wasn’t too far gone to realize making love to John would be a mistake, and she would be the one to get hurt. After he got what he wanted he’d be gone again. She’d let herself enjoy his rough kiss a minute more and then demand he let her go. Only when his hands roamed over her hips to cup her bottom, she realized she might have waited too late.

My weekend didn't exactly go as planned but I did finish the final edits to Yield to Me. Maybe if I hadn't taken those naps I would of had more time to finish the new WIP I've been working on. Oh well, priorities!

Her Hands-On Man

Just received a new 4-STAR review on Goodreads by Sheryl!

Ivy and Jake were lovers until Jake’s scheming brother interfered. Three months after they part ways, a theft against Jake’s logging company brings them back together. Ivy’s brother is the culprit and she’s desperate to keep him out of jail. She’s prepared to offer Jake a payment plan—but he has other ideas on how she can pay the debt.

Jake’s been missing Ivy, and he figures a weekend of sex, anywhere, anytime and any way, will cure his hunger. Ivy gives in to his demands and before the weekend is over, more than one truth is uncovered, giving them hope for the future.

New Review

Someone to Love Me just received a new 4-STAR rating on Goodreads, from Sheryl!

When Charlie’s plane goes down in a remote Alaskan wilderness she knows she’s in big trouble. She didn’t have time to radio in her position. It looks like her decision to surprise her parents on their wedding anniversary wasn’t such a good idea. Now lost and in freezing temperatures, her chances of survival look bleak.

As Charlie heads out on foot, she faces a new danger when a white wolf appears. And right behind him is her salvation. A quiet mountain man with secrets, who takes her to his one-room cabin, where she finds herself stranded for the winter. To make matters worse, there’s an instant attraction between them they both try to resist. 
Hard to do when she’s sleeping in his bed! Before long they give into a temptation stronger than their wills, and find survival, and the chance to love again, in each other’s arms.

And we have hibernating weather here in Florida! It was 37 degrees when I got up this morning. Now, I know some of you northerners are going to laugh because 37 degrees ain't nothing to what kind of cold you get but deep down you know you're just jealous.
