One more week: HOT AND BOTHERED teaser

Less than one week to the release of HOT AND BOTHERED, Book 3 of the Hot in the Kitchen series featuring Tad and Jules. Italian bad boy wine bar owner, barely reformed Brit chick with a naughty streak, friends to lovers – what could go wrong? And it’s only $2.99 on pre-order at the usual e-tailers (my books usually sell for $5.99 so I have no idea how long that low price will last). How about a few lines to get the juices flowing?

Tad has just prompted Jules for her opinion on the wine they are tasting:

“What do you think, Jules?” Tad asked as the aroma of berries filled her nostrils.

“Warm, a bit spicy.” Like your lips.

No, no, no.

Where the hell had that come from? She had been getting along just dandy, planting her head in her life as a busy mom, and trying not to dwell on that horrible night a year ago when she had almost destroyed her friendship with Tad. One kiss, three seconds of horror, twelve months of regret. She had harbored illicit hopes fueled by a lack of sleep and new mom hormones, but he shot her down. The right decision, she acknowledged now.

Thankfully, they had recovered and got back on the friendship track, but every now and then a stray, wanton thought popped in to say “hello” courtesy of her inner bad girl trying to front a saucy charge.

***

Oh, those wanton thoughts! Go on with your inner bad girl, Jules.
