Tuesday Teaser: Jessamyn's Christmas Gift
The Tuesday Teaser this week comes from my Christmas Quickie JESSAMYN'S CHRISTMAS GIFT. All Caleb Morgan wants for Christmas this year is Jessamyn Parker.
You can buy it on Amazon right now for only $1.49.
TEASER:
Gathering her courage, Jessamyn cleared her throat. “I’m in here. Come and get your Christmas present.”
The footsteps stopped at the sound of her voice and then she heard them moving closer. Her eyes were glued on the entranceway, which was surrounded by greenery and white twinkling lights. He moved into the light and every cell of her body went on alert.
Her gaze moved slowly upward, over a pair of faded jeans that molded to strong legs. A blue flannel shirt was tucked in, emphasizing a lean waist. His shoulders were wide, straining at the seams of his shirt as he fisted his hands at his waist. Hair the color of mahogany fell carelessly across his forehead. His face wasn’t handsome, so much as strong. His nose was prominent, his lips thin, and his jaw was shadowed with stubble.
But it was his eyes that pinned her to the spot. Amber, they seemed to glow as they watched her. The eyes of a predator. He was a prime male standing in front of her, studying her almost-naked form.
Her nipples tightened, pushing against the thin fabric and Jessamyn knew he could see them in the firelight when his eyes lingered there. She moved her legs restlessly as the ache between her thighs grew. Cream flowed, dampening the thin piece of satin between her legs. Every hair on her body was standing on end as her entire being clamored its need for this man.
There was only one slight problem. He wasn’t Bennett.

Countdown to Christmas: Royal Guardsmen - Snoopy's Christmas
The countdown to Christmas has begun! It's less than a month to the big day. We had this Christmas album when we were kids. I loved listening to it. To me, one of the first signs of the holidays were when we'd put this album on the big stereo in the living room and my sister and I would dance around to the songs.
Here's the original cover of the record album we owned.

Tuesday Teaser: Tempting Tori
This week the Tuesday Teaser comes from my Ellora's Cave Quickie TEMPTING TORI. This is the first book about the Courage brothers of Texas. The other two are Lassoing Lara and Tracking Talia.
TEASER:
“I thought you liked it here.”
She could hear the anger in his voice, but more than that, she could hear the underlying hurt. Tori felt as if a knife was twisting in her heart. “I do like it here.” That was an understatement. She loved it here.
“Then you’ll stay.” It wasn’t a question, but a statement. She felt her lips turn up in a genuine smile. That was just like J. T. to figure everything was settled because he said it was so. He was stubborn and mule-headed at times, but she loved him in spite of it, or maybe even because of it. It was his stubbornness that had enabled him to take the successful ranch his parents had left him and his brothers and make it even more profitable.
“No.” She rubbed her hands up and down her arms, suddenly chilled in spite of the heat. “I can’t stay.”
J. T. strode toward her, not stopping until the toes of his boots touched the tops of her sneakers. He was a good six inches taller than her, but was so much broader that he made her feel small. Her stomach fluttered, but it wasn’t with fear.
