It’s almost time…

Here’s a portion of the cover for my next release. This one is a sexy, I mean SEXY holiday contemporary romance starring Sidney Capp and Riker Mitchell. She’s a good girl – straight A’s in high school and graduated top of her class in college. Riker? Not so much. He works with his hands. A lot. Sidney LOVES that about him. Especially when his work-roughened hands are all over her. Heheheh.
This will be released soon! Can’t wait! They are so cute together. Here’s a little snippet. To set this up, after Riker got locked out of his complex the night before and had to bother Sidney for the master keys at a late hour (she’s babysitting the place for the weekend), he searches for her the next day intent on making up for his intruding on her. But what does he find?


“Sidney, what are you doing?”
She jerked to attention so hard she nearly got whiplash. “Hey! You scared the bejesus out of me.”
He didn’t apologize. Nor did he speak. He just stared right at her and boy, was he tall. She gazed directly into his glittering eyes. Right. No wilting off the machine to melt at his feet. He expected an answer. Now, what could she say? She couldn’t very well say “I was riding the spin cycle while fantasizing about you,” could she?
Best to keep it simple. Direct and to the point. “Laundry.”
His lopsided grin made her stomach do flip-flops that turned to full rolling somersaults when he drawled, “I can see that darlin’. I only ask because you’re looking a little flushed.”
“It’s the, um,” she hiked a thumb to her right, “dryer heat. Gets me all the time.”
That to-die-for grin slid up into a devilish smile. “I bet it does. How long are you going to be?”
