The first book in the spin-off series is about a female sports reporter trying to make her mark and a former Green Beret drafted after his discharge from the military.

I'm working on Flynn's story right now and his girl will be Brody's sister Olivia. It'll be a "friends/now enemies/best friend's little sister" story. Lots of juiciness there, especially as last we left them, Flynn just got dumped by his fiancee and Olivia's about to get married. Like the day after the TAKING THE SCORE epilogue! Needless to say, something interferes with that wedding :) I'm hoping for a July release date.(less)

Quotes by Kate Meader  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“From time immemorial we’ve been cleaning up after male messes. When a man does it for a woman, it’s called being rescued. When a woman does it for a man, it’s housework.”
Kate Meader, Flirting with Fire

“It’s more common for people to get fire tattoos. Symbols of passion, transformation, change. But I wanted smoke because it’s what remains. After the fire, after everything is destroyed, you’re left with smoke and ash. You’ve gotta make somethin’ out of it.”
Kate Meader, Melting Point

“Her cousin had clearly found a kindred penis in Jack Kilroy.”
Kate Meader, Feel the Heat

“Her cousin had clearly found a kindred penis in Jack Kilroy.”
Kate Meader, Feel the Heat
tags: humor

“She cracked a sexy smile with a side of condescension. “Jack, I’m not looking to know you.”
No, she wasn’t, unless you counted biblically. She was looking for the guy who indiscriminately dated and bedded famous women. A guy whose life could be reduced to adjectives, most of them unflattering. That guy.”
Kate Meader, Feel the Heat
tags: fame

“I respect you," he murmured. "and your views. I think of you as an equal. I respect your brains, and all those big words you like to use. But I also want to rip your clothes off and have sex with you until you scream and cry and see God." -Jack Travis (Smooth Talking Stranger)”
Lisa Kleypas, Smooth Talking Stranger

“So this was where jock straps went to die.”
Kate Meader, Flirting with Fire
tags: humor

“Are you telling me that men are compelled by the mere fact of their gender to choose violence as their first resort?”
“Partly. It satisfies our sense of justice, it makes us feel good, and it always improves our odds with women.”
Kate Meader, Flirting with Fire
