And my final stop on the Scorching Summer blog tour is...

Erin Nicholas! Hello, Erin. It's definitely a case of last but not least with your fun excerpt. Thank you very much for stopping by, and I'm more than happy to hand over to you. It's the day before release day for all of us, and I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to you, Mari, Joely and Shelli for all the promo fun, and to wish you all the very best for Tuesday!

Thanks for letting me spend some time here today, Harper!

On June 11th, Samhain Publishing is going to deliver five Scorching Summer romances to help you kick your summer off right!   I’m so excited to be a part of the party with Harper, Shelli Stevens, Joely Sue Burkhart and Mari Carr!

She’s the One is extra exciting because it starts a new sexy contemporary series for me!  Counting on Love is a spin-off series from my Bradford series and I’m really having fun getting to know these new people while still visiting some of my favorite old friends.   She’s the One will be followed by It Takes Two in September and Best of Three in November with books four and five coming in 2014!  So I hope that you’ll mark your calendars for all of the hot reads coming your way June 11th and that you’ll get to know and love Ryan and Amanda in She’s the One!

She’s the One
Counting on Love, Book 1

Sometimes you see love clearly.  And sometimes it has to smack you in the face.

When a stranger walks up and punches him, Ryan Kaye assumes there’s a good reason.  But he’s stunned to learn it’s over a one-night stand that never happened —with his friend’s sister, straight-laced Amanda Dixon.  When Ryan confronts her about the lie, Amanda apologizes, but Ryan realizes he doesn’t want her to be sorry…he wants the night they supposedly spent together.

Amanda’s not looking to add anyone to her long list of commitments, so she was only trying to let a nice guy down easy by telling him a fling with Ryan broke her heart.  So what if the fling only happened in her dreams?  But when Ryan Kaye tempts her with the chance to go crazy and fulfill a few fantasies, she can’t resist.  Thank goodness one night isn’t enough time to fall in love…

Warning: Contains a hot paramedic who knows how to get a girl to let her hair down, a girl who thinks she prefers her hair up, some naughty laser tag, some naughty role-playing and a lot of falling in love.

Excerpt:

Olivia, their youngest sister, chose that moment to slip into the booth. “Sorry I’m late.” She looked from one sister to the other. The tension was palpable. “Oh boy, what did I miss?”
“Nothing much,” Emma answered, leaning her forearms onto the table. “Amanda’s just informing me that I’m the biggest slut she knows and that I can’t be trusted out in public with our mother anymore.”
Olivia looked at Amanda. “I’m sure that was word for word.”
“No. But ‘pull that stick out of your butt’ is a direct quote,” Amanda told her.
Emma sighed heavily. “You’re just pissed that I know how to have a good time.”
“That’s not why I’m pissed,” Amanda said. “And you know it.”
“Okay, how about we take it down a notch?” Olivia said. “Before somebody says something she doesn’t mean.”
“No,” Emma said, “I’d love to hear what Amanda has to say here. What would you do, big sis, if you let yourself do whatever you wanted? I’d love to know. Spike your hot chocolate? Maybe wear three-inch heels instead of flats? Oh, I know, you’ll get a Brazilian instead of a regular bikini wax?”
Amanda felt her cheeks heat, and it wasn’t with embarrassment. She had three younger sisters. Three. Isabelle was almost as daring and sassy as Emma was. Almost. But no one—no one—could make her as crazy as quickly as Emma did.
“You really think you invented drinking games and flirting?” Amanda had done her share of partying and had gotten into plenty of her own trouble. But it had only taken one time of getting in way too deep for her to pull back and grow up.
That didn’t mean that she never wanted to push the limits now, though. She did. On a regular basis. She wanted to be just like Emma. She wasn’t proud of it, but she was honest. “For God’s sake, Emma, what you do doesn’t exactly take brains or talent.”
“That’s not what Ryan said,” Emma shot back. “Or Derek or Tom or Justin or—”
“I’ve decided what I want for my birthday.”
They both stopped and looked at Olivia.
“You want to hear it?” she asked them.
Emma sighed. “Really? Amanda and I were kind of having a moment here.”
Amanda couldn’t help it. She smiled. When Emma got mad, it was like every other emotion she felt—she wanted to experience it fully, revel in it even.
“Well, you both have said more than your share and I want a chance to talk,” Olivia said.
Amanda took a deep breath. It was for the best. She didn’t want to hurt her sister. “Okay, fine, Liv. What do you want for your birthday?”
“For you and Emma to trade places. For one weekend.”
