Gilmore Girls

Okay, so you know how I've never watched Gilmore Girls before and my daughter and I have been binge-watching it? We're in Season 4 and Luke is holding Lorelai as she cries because she thinks she's failing and I think my heart just melted into a puddle on the floor. I love them together! Luke is so sweet, and I love how he cares for Lorelai and is there for her no matter what. But this scene is just . . . they belong together! Le sigh. She needs to break up with Jason and take a look at Luke as more than a friend. 
(If you are someone who has already watched the series, (like pretty much everyone haha!) no spoilers for me, please! I'm enjoying the ride as a first-time viewer.)

Happy Book Birthday Love Lights the Way!

 I cannot believe it's finally here! Love Lights the Way is released! Woohoo! Happy Book Birthday! I hope you all love it as much as I do. I thought it might be fun to celebrate and share the first chapter with you! Yay!

ChapterOne

Karissalooked out over the tables and desks, a buzz of energy going through theclassroom—something was up. Even though it was almost the weekend and thesecond to last class period of the day, this particular buzz was something morethan that. What was going on? Her students were all heads down, working ontheir assignment, with no conversation at all. That in itself was strange. Inher eight years of teaching tenth and eleventh grades in high school, thatrarely happened. This particular class was one of Karissa’s favorites, though.Her students were curious and funny and she was enjoying teaching them thissemester. But right now, even the table with four students that normally had tobe told to settle down several times a class was bent over their papers,silently working away. Yep, something was definitely up.

Karissastood and started her circuit around the classroom. Usually at least a coupleof students had their phones balanced on their legs, trying to reply to a textor watch a video, but everyone seemed completely focused on the assignment---andthe room was so quiet she could hear the wind blowing through the leaflesstrees outside. Even though it was almost February, the relentlessly cold andsnowy weather had made everything more dreary than normal. She sighed, looking overher shoulder as a few students whispered to each other as she passed. This wasgetting stranger by the minute. Karissa started back to her desk and just asshe rounded the dented corner of it, Michael, stood up and walked toward her.“Ms. Mead?”

Shestopped and leaned her hip on the worn edge of the desk. This was more normal. “Doyou need some help, Michael?”

Hisbest friend Logan jumped up to stand beside him, putting his hand on hisshoulder. “I’ll handle this, Ms. Mead.”

Hereyebrows drew together, but she kept a smile pasted on her face. Where werethey going with this? Every eye in the classroom was on them now. Michael kneltdown with Logan standing in front of him, but he popped back up with aviatorsunglasses on and a wireless microphone in his hand.  A girl at their table, Camille, held up a portablespeaker and Michael extended his arm and pointed at her while he belted out thewords to, “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling,” while dancing like Tom Cruise hadin Top Gun.  The rest of the classjoined in on singing the chorus and Karissa couldn’t keep the grin off her faceas they all got into it.

Whenthey quieted down, she shook her head and said with mock severity. “Have youguys been watching Top Gun on repeat again?” They all laughed.

“Maverick’stoo old for me, but Rooster’s hot,” someone shouted from the back. “I’d watchhim every day if I could.”

“Wouldn’twe all,” Karissa agreed. “What’s this all about?”

Michaeland Logan still had their sunglasses on. Camille put down the speaker and joinedthem at Karissa’s desk.

“Ms.Mead,” Michael began. “I heard my mom talking to Logan’s mom that you had yourheart broken once and even though you’ve been trying to date, nothing isworking out. You might never find someone and we’re about three weeks away fromValentine’s Day.”

Karissaresisted the urge to roll her eyes at how casually her students mentioned theirmoms were talking about her. That’s how life was in Lincoln. The town was just smallenough that everyone knew everyone’s business and weren’t afraid to talk aboutit. “Well, that’s nice of your mother to be concerned, but everything is justfine. I’m doing fine.” And how would Michael’s mom know anything about herdating life anyway? Karissa was a pretty private person.

Camillestepped toward her, holding out a small wooden carving. “My family isoriginally from New Orleans and everyone said my great-grandma was a witch. Thistalisman has been passed down through our family for generations because itdraws true love to the person who holds it. So, I brought it for you.” Shelifted it higher. It was a carving of a person with a very long face, the eyes squishednearly closed and its mouth opened wide like it was screaming. Karissa staredat it for a moment. That’s definitely what dating felt like sometimes.

“Itlooks weird, but if you get true love out of it, that won’t matter.” Camilleglanced around at her classmates. “I know it’ll work.”

Loganslung his arm around Camille. “That’s why we did all this for you. WithValentine’s Day coming up and dating not going great, we wanted to help youout. You’re our favorite teacher.”

Karissasmiled and took the carving. “You’re all so sweet! Thank you so much for all ofthis. I don’t even know what to say, but I probably shouldn’t take such avaluable gift from your family.” She started to hand it back to Camille, butshe backed up a step and didn’t take it.

“We’lljust say you’re borrowing it. And you can’t just carry it around with you. Inorder to bring out the spell that casts true love on you, there are a fewthings you have to do while you’re holding it. We could do it right now. Getthings started.” Camille took a breath and put a pleading look on her face. “Itwon’t take long, I promise.”

Karissaglanced at the clock. They still had ten minutes of class. “What kinds ofthings do I have to do?” Karissa asked. She could only imagine what Camille wasgoing to say.

Camillebit her lip. “You have to hold it up in front of you, take a deep breath in andhold it for eight seconds, then release it and say, “If it is to be, send truelove to me,” three times while you’re jumping backwards eight steps. Then youhold it up as high as you can and say, “so be it, so be it, and so it is, whileyou shimmy and shake your booty.” Her wide eyes implored Karissa to do it. “Itwon’t be hard at all.”

Well,that didn’t sound too hard. A little weird maybe. She rolled her neck. It meantso much to the kids, how could she not do it? “Okay.” Karissa held up thecarving, wondering how old it really was. “Are you sure this is going to work?”

“Thespell’s been passed down in my family for generations,” Camille said with allthe confidence she could muster. “My mom says it worked for her when she met mydad. My older sister used it and she’s married now. Maybe you’ll at least get avalentine out of it.”

“Allright, let’s do this.” What could it hurt? The dates Karissa had been on latelyhad been dismal. She raised the talisman and took a deep breath and held it in forthe requisite eight seconds. Letting it out she chanted three times, “if it isto be, send true love to me,” and jumped backward eight steps---which wasn’t aseasy as she’d thought since she was in heels. Karissa was right by the doorwhen she held the talisman up as high as she could and chanted, “so be it, sobe it, and so it is.” Then she shimmied and shook her booty, laughing as thekids cheered her on.

Athroat cleared right behind her, startling Karissa. “Oh!” she yelped.

Whirlingon the man standing there, she nearly tripped over her own feet, but at thelast second grabbed onto the doorway for support. Untangling herself, she triednot to stare at the gorgeous man in uniform that was standing in her doorwaywith his hand out as if he might catch her. A red flush crept up her neck. Nodoubt he’d had a front row seat to her booty-shaking. Not the first impressionshe usually made. Who was he? What was he doing here? Could the love spell haveworked so quickly?

“CanI help you?” The question came out a little breathless and Karissa inhaled. Pullit together, she told herself.

“I’mhere for Ms. Mead.” His deep voice rumbled through her and she took a step backas her class erupted, talking over each other.

“Thelove spell worked! Hey, Camille, can I try it? He’s hotter than Rooster,”filtered through to Karissa.

Shesqueezed the wood carving in her hand. “You’ve found me. I’m Ms. Mead.”Inwardly, she cringed at her high-pitched voice. He was not here because ofCamille’s love spell. There was a logical explanation, she was sure.

“I’msorry for interrupting . . . whatever it is you were demonstrating.” He shiftedon his feet as if he were uncomfortable and she cringed again, knowing he wasprobably remembering the booty-shaking she’d been “demonstrating” when he camein. “I’m Officer Wright, a new addition to the Lincoln Police Department. I’llbe the new school liaison and Principal Larsen said I should come and introducemyself when the bell rang. I guess I was a little early.” His gaze scanned theclassroom and he didn’t meet her eyes. The embarrassment she was alreadyfeeling amped up and her cheeks were on fire with mortification.

“Yes,well, we were just demonstrating ancient practices from early American NewOrleans.” Karissa moved back toward her desk. Camille, Logan, and Michaelhustled to theirs as well, looking back at their new school liaison with grinson their faces.  

Beforeshe could sit down a teenager appeared in the doorway, so she turned and walkedcloser to the door. “Hi, I’m Ms. Mead. Can I help you?”

Hewas wearing a navy-blue button-down shirt and brand-new jeans. He shuffled hisfeet in his obviously new Nike shoes, but looked her in the eye. “I’m Roman Price,I’m new at Lincoln.”

“Welcome,Roman. The bell is about to ring, but I can get you a textbook and a packet ofwhat we’ve been working on.” She glanced at Officer Wright who was stillstanding near the door, just watching her. She resisted the urge to bite herlip and looked away. Hurrying to the bookshelf in the corner, she pulled out atextbook and brought it back to Roman. “We’re in Chapter 14, the Civil War. Ifyou read the first ten pages over the weekend, I can help you with anyquestions you have. You’ll need to bring a binder, pen, and paper to everyclass. And hopefully a smile.”

Hemet her eyes, but didn’t smile. Not even a hint of one. She tried again, makingher own smile a bit wider. Maybe he hadn’t heard her and this wasn’t as awkwardas it felt.

Nothing.

Shedidn’t dare look at Officer Wright, but could feel his gaze on her watchingthis whole exchange. Could this moment get any worse? “Okay, well, let me knowif you have any questions. I know it’s hard starting a new school more than halfwaythrough the year, but I’ll do whatever I can to help.”

Henodded and the bell rang. Everyone stood up and gathered their things. Romantook the textbook carefully in his hand and pulled a paper out of his pocket.Michael walked up. “What class do you have next?”

“English,”Roman said, his voice low.

Michaellooked at Roman’s slip of paper. “You’ve got Mr. Dalton. I can show you wherehis class is if you want.”

Reliefflickered over Roman’s face. “That’d be great.”

Theywalked out together and Karissa was glad. She really did have great kids in herclass. Even when they were giving her love spells to help with her dating life.Which reminded her. She turned to Officer Wright. “Sorry about the wait.”

“It’sfine. I’m sorry for being early. I just wanted to say hello and let you knowthat we’ll be doing a safety assembly in a couple of weeks. I’m happy to coverany topics you think need to be addressed.” His tone was professional andpolite, which is what she needed to be going forward, especially after thefirst impression she’d made.

“Okay,I’ll let you know if I think of anything.” She turned away and walked over toher desk, but didn’t sit down. “Thanks for coming down to my classroom.” Shewasn’t going to be embarrassed or apologize, she decided. She’d been having funwith her class and hadn’t expected a witness.

Henodded and turned to go, but before he opened the door he leaned back slightly.“You know, I wish my teachers in high school had demonstrated New Orleansspells like you were doing. That would have made class a lot more interesting.”He gave her a half-smile.  

Sheraised her eyebrows and a little laugh escaped. “Thanks. You didn’t exactlycatch me at my best teaching moment.”

Hismouth tipped up into a full smile, revealing a small dimple in his left cheek.“I beg to differ. The kids were completely engaged.” He tapped the doorframewith his hand. “It was nice to meet you. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you around.”

Hewalked out and Karissa stared at the empty doorway. Uncurling her fingers, sheset the carving on her desk and stared at the strange little face on thetalisman. What had just happened? But there was no time to think any more aboutOfficer Wright or his dimple as her next class started to file in.

Thankfullythe last class period of the day flew by and before she knew it, the bell rang.With no teacher meetings today, she could go home. Thank goodness it was theweekend.

Sheslowly walked down the halls of Lincoln High School, passing the Englishclassrooms. She thought about popping her head in to Drew Dalton’s classroom toask how it had gone with Roman, but before she could, she saw Drew just insidethe doorway with Tori. He had his arm around her and was listening closely tosomething she’d said, then both of them laughed.

Karissapulled her coat tighter around herself and turned away, a little tendril ofloneliness creeping in on her. She’d had a crush on Drew for years and it hadtaken her a long time to truly get over him. She’d been happy he’d found Toriand their little family was growing, but it still stung a little bit that she’dnever found anyone. She wouldn’t be going home to someone who’d want to hearabout her day. The only living thing waiting for her at home was a plant shewas barely keeping alive. Thoughts of Officer Wright popped into her head andshe imagined coming home to that dimpled smile. She wouldn’t mind that at all.Shaking her head, she tried to clear the image from her mind. She’d just metthe man!

Pickingup the pace she made it through the snowy slush to the parking lot and unlockedher car. Before she could get in, Mick, the school’s woodshop teacher, wavedfrom a few cars over, “Hey Karissa!”

Sheturned and pasted a smile on her face. “Hey.” Mick had helped her through a lotof tough times and was a good friend. But he’d also found love recently.Everyone she knew seemed to have found their person and that point was beingdriven home today for some reason.

Mickleaned over the top of his car, his keys jangling in his hand. “I’m headed toSalt Lake to pick up Olivia from work. Sounds like she had a rough day incourt. Do you have any big plans tonight?”

“Nope.Just going to make myself some dinner and turn on Netflix.” She tried to keepher tone light, but she just wanted to get home and forget today happened. “Seeyou Monday.” She gave another little wave and got in her car. Mick was stillstanding there, as if he’d wanted to say more, but Karissa couldn’t talk abouthis plans with his fiancée. Not today when her students were trying to “help”her with her dating life because their moms were gossiping about her lack ofone. It was still a bit humiliating, even though her students’ hearts were inthe right place.

Itdidn’t take long to drive from the high school to her house. She drove up thedriveway, a bit of pride working its way up inside her. She’d bought the homelast year. It was older, but had so much character. She’d been restoring it alittle at a time and loved bringing it to life again. And it gave her an outletfor when she needed to feel like there was more to her life than teaching andNetflix.

Parkingthe car, she grabbed her workbag and picked her way up the snow-dusted frontporch steps. I should probably shovel those before it freezes or something,she reminded herself. She unlocked the door and went inside. Weak sunlightshone through the drapes and she put her bag on the couch and sat down, takingoff her heels and flexing her feet. She lay back against the pillows and letthe smallest bit of sun shine down on her face for a moment. The warmth feltgood, like the hug she needed, washing away any last bits of humiliation frombeing gossiped about or embarrassment at dancing in front of the new schoolofficer. He definitely had bad timing. Or maybe the spell worked and his timingwas perfect, a little voice inside her whispered. She didn’t dare think toohard about that. She didn’t even know if Officer Wright was single.

Herphone dinged, and she looked at the notification. It was the new dating appshe’d signed up for yesterday. She opened it to see who she’d matched with, atiny spark of hope in her chest. Maybe this day wouldn’t end badly after all.Maybe this match could be the one and she wouldn’t be thinking about OfficerWright like that anymore. She pressed on the heart to open up the man’s profileand just stared for a moment.

Itwas a shirtless and very hairy man cradling a frozen ham in his arms like ababy.

Sheset the phone down and closed her eyes. There was nothing wrong with a hairyman who obviously loved ham, but he just wasn’t for her. She let out a deep,frustrated sigh. Apparently, no one was, at this point. Leaving her phone onthe couch, she walked back to her bedroom, but stopped at the mirror in thehall. Maybe it was her. She wasn’t as thin as she used to be. A few more curveshere and there. But she still worked out regularly, went for runs on good weatherdays. Her hair could use a trim, though she liked how there was a littlenatural wave in it. But the dark circles under her eyes and the smudgedlipstick showed the day she’d had. With a sigh, she ran her fingers through herhair, pulling out some tangles. Maybe after some dinner, she’d feel better.

Shechanged into some comfy sweats and one of her oldest t-shirts, then made herway into the kitchen. Despite the house being nearly a hundred years old, thekitchen had been updated with new appliances. Karissa got out her lasagna pan.After a day like today, she wanted gooey, filled-with-carbs lasagna like hergrandma used to make.

Oncethe lasagna was in the oven, she used the time to grade the papers she’dbrought home with her. The house smelled wonderful, and she felt cozy wrappedup in her favorite soft blanket on the couch. It wasn’t a bad life, really.Just one she wanted to share with someone.

Thebuzzer on the oven went off and Karissa took the lasagna out of the oven. Itwas one of her best with all the melted cheese layered over soft noodles.Deciding she didn’t want to eat alone, she put four large portions on a plate, incase anyone wanted seconds, grabbed the Caesar salad from her fridge and threwon her coat, heading next door. Mary Nelson was an older woman who also livedalone and they’d shared meals before. Maybe she was in the mood for somecompany, too.

Jugglingthe plate and salad over her now somewhat icy steps, Karissa managed to walkacross her yard and knock on her neighbor’s door. “Mary, it’s Karissa. I’vebrought you something.”

Therewas silence in answer to her call, and Karissa started to get worried. Had shefallen? Was everything okay? Mary rarely left the house. Trying to peek in thefront window, Karissa nearly dropped the dishes in her hand. “Mary?”

Heavyfootsteps sounded and the front door swung open. She looked up into the face ofOfficer Wright. He still had the same look on his face that he’d first had whenshe met him in her classroom doorway---his jaw set in granite and no smile onhis face. She missed the dimple already. “Can I help you?” he asked.

Hadshe come to the wrong house? No, she was definitely next door to her own. “I’mlooking for Mary.” Her voice sounded breathless.

        Mary came up from behind the man and peeked out at her. “Oh, Karissa, you’ve brought dinner!

 Thank you. I see you’ve already met my grandson, Benson.”

For fans of action adventure romance where danger is just around the corner and the chance for love is on the line!

Second Look (Griffin Force Book 4): With a large-scale terrorist attack imminent, can Nate trust the woman he wants by his side or should he turn her in as a traitor?

When the most wanted terrorist in the world escapes from a high security prison, Nate Hughes is part of the task force sent to recapture him. During the mission, he meets Abby, a fellow investigator that seems to have it all together. He's drawn to her and hopes they can join forces, but when her past is revealed, loyalties are called into question. Could she have turned against the country she once held dear?

The CIA wants her captured and interrogated, but with a terrorist attack imminent, Abby may be the only person in a position to help them stop it. Nate must make a choice to either trust her or turn her in---but the wrong decision would clear the path for the largest attack on freedom the world has ever seen.

And time is running out.

Second Chance (Griffin Force Book 5): A mission to capture the world's most wanted terrorist. A computer tech sent in undercover. And a woman with a secret that could change everything.

Griffin Force tracks the world's most wanted terrorist to Libya, but the only one on their team that can infiltrate his lair is Augie---their computer tech. Their Libyan contact sends in a young man to help protect Augie during the assignment, but he’s hiding something and Augie doesn’t trust him.

When the simple observe-and-report mission turns into a much bigger operation, Augie must figure out how to alert Griffin Force to Atwah’s deadly plans without compromising his cover. But things get complicated when Augie discovers the secret of the young man with him. Now he’ll have to find a way to stop Atwah and keep both of them alive---or he’ll die trying.

Second Guess (Griffin Force Book 6): He let his guard down for a second. And now it’s going to cost him.

The most wanted terrorist in the world has finally been captured and Elliot Burke is escorting him to an undisclosed location---until their plane is hijacked.

Elliot's mission quickly becomes staying alive until Griffin Force can find him. Landing in Syria, he's faced with a new threat---someone who wants to take over the terrorist organization Elliot has spent years trying to dismantle. In the middle of the most dangerous operation of his life, he meets a mysterious woman named Eden who seems familiar to him somehow. He instinctively trusts her, but soon realizes he shouldn't have. She has her own agenda, one that doesn't include him.

The situation turns deadly, however, and Eden and Elliot must work together to stop a devastating escalation to the war on terror---one that could tip the balance of power in the wrong direction. An unexpected flare of attraction burns bright between them, and battling enemy forces side by side fans the flame, but lives are on the line and sacrifices must be made. Can they both survive what’s ahead?

Two Freebies For You!

I am so excited that some of my favorite authors have free books right now! I noticed that Sarah Eden's novella, The Best Laid Plans, is free for TODAY ONLY! I really enjoyed this series and the book so you won't want to miss it!

Here is the back copy:

Newton Hughes has long dreamed of pursuing a career in law, an acceptable choice for a gentleman of status and wealth. His parents, however, disapprove of his ambition, urging him instead to take his rightful place as a gentleman of leisure—with a suitable wife of their choosing, of course.

Ellie Napper would like nothing more than for her parents to abandon their incessant efforts to marry her off to the greatest possible advantage. Her lack of matrimonial enthusiasm drives her family mad, but she refuses to feign frivolity in order to make herself more palatable to potential suitors.

When Ellie and Newton are introduced through their mutual acquaintance, Charlie Jonquil, they commiserate over their shared plight. In desperation, they hatch a plan: Ellie and Newton will feign an interest in each other—enough to convince their parents not to push them toward unwanted matches but not enough to cause whispers or expectations. Their plot quickly spirals out of control, but the greatest complication is the one they didn’t see coming: their plan never included falling in love.
