WIP sneak peek
I finally decided on a title for my story which will be in the Winter Wishes and Holiday Kisses collection releasing in November.
Let's Make it Forever, my grumpy/sunshine with Sawyer and Bryanna. Set in NYC at Christmastime, it's already proving to be snarky fun when I add Bryanna's younger brother, Mikai, who is Sawyer's co-worker and best friend. And you can be sure there will be plenty of emotion and steamy romance.

“So, I did tell you Bryanna is on leave and coming to the city to visit, right?”
Mikai’s sudden rhetorical question about his sister has me smirking at him. “Only about every other day for the past two weeks.” I finished the last sip of my drink that’s cooled down then place the cup in my empty sandwich bag.
“Yeah, well, I’m excited. I haven’t seen Bryanna in over a year. Besides pictures and a few video calls. She finished her assignment in Japan and has been with Mom and Dad in Hawaii.”
“So that begs the question: why aren’t you going to Hawaii to enjoy paradise? Why would she want to leave and come here?”
“That’s two questions, and because as much as she loves our parents, she can only handle them in small doses. Besides, I can’t afford any time off right now, as you well know. This stage of our research is critical.”
“It’s all critical.”
“True.” He bundles up his trash and we both stand, heading toward the receptacle. “Anywho, she’s never been to NYC, and she’s eager to experience the city at Christmastime.” He tosses his bag into the can as if he’s making the game winning shot at the NBA finals. “Score!” With his hands up, he dances in a circle until he faces me. “And I did tell you she’s staying with us, right?”
My steps falter as I stare at him. “Uh, no, no you did not. How are you just now springing this on me? Where the hell is she going to sleep in our tiny place? I thought she’d made other arrangements?”
He gets that fake perplexed look on his face as he rests his fist under his chin. “Huh, thought for sure I mentioned it. Anywho,” he says, waving his hand as if dismissing his simple error which in fact is not simple at all. “So she’s staying with us, and she arrives tonight. We’ll be leaving directly after work to pick her up at LaGuardia then go for dinner. Then-”
“Wait, we? As in, you and me? What if I have plans or don’t want to go.”
I don’t have plans, and I do want to go, but he doesn’t need to know that.
“Pssh, you never have plans and of course you want to go. It’s my sister! She’s eager to meet you.”
And he definitely doesn’t need to know I’m eager to meet her. I mean, he talks non-stop about her, I’ve seen pictures, and I’ve even had a quick cameo in one of their video calls last year. She seems gregarious, maybe even borderline hyper. She’s just so damn bubbly. How can one person be that freaking cheery? And to hear Mikai describe her, she’s the most intelligent person on the planet, what with being a linguist in the Air Force and knowing at least six languages. A brainy, bubbly, beauty.

Can't wait to see how this adventure unfolds.
Until next time, enjoy your days!
