She got up and slowly
moved toward him. Her chest tightened with each step. As she approached him and
admired his broad shoulders, it dawned on her he could be a candidate for
People’s sexiest man alive. Control yourself.
“I’m happy here,” she
admitted. “I love it when the morning light shines on the water and it mimics
fine pieces of crystal.”
Rob slowly approached
her. His gaze fixed on her, sent shivers from head to toe. Afraid of what might
happen next, she turned away. They were too close for comfort. An electric
energy surged between them.
Before she could stop
him, Rob reached for her and pulled her up against his chest. “You’re an
amazing woman, Savannah.” His lips met hers and he cradled her head in his
hands as if she was a precious jewel. It all happened so quickly, she didn’t
have time to react. The warmth of his touch sent waves of heat down her stomach
and in between her legs as the world stood still. When Rob’s hands moved slowly
across her back, it took her to a level of arousal she never expected. She
found herself spellbound by the feel of his rock hard body pressed up against
her chest. All of the emotions she’d kept inside emerged when Rob held her
tight.
When they finally
parted, she stood frozen in shock with her heart pounding and her ears ringing.
His expression made him
look as if he broke the law with his eyes practically popping out of his head.
He quickly took a step back. “I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry for my
rude behavior.”
“You weren’t rude. I
didn’t stop you.”

Just Another Maniac Monday
Is finding your long-lost
love worth losing your life?
Edna Allen’s Monday goes
from mundane to murderous when she opens the front door to find the love of her
life standing there. A man she thought had died years ago… after being accused
of murder.
John Collins is back,
bringing with him a charming smile, a dog named Havoc, a second chance at love…and
a threat of death. Danger surrounds this former bad-boy, and even after a
lifetime apart, he still ignites a spark in Edna. A spark she thought she’d
buried decades earlier.
As Edna relives their
summer romance, where more than the weather was hot and steamy, she falls in
love all over again and evokes memories filled with drama, passion, action, and
murder. Now these soul-mates must face the truth about what happened in the
past and find the killer hunting them in the present. And Edna, with her sarcastic
wit, a pocket stun-gun, and a few hare-brained schemes, is ready to fight for
the man who still makes her pulse race.
But does she dare risk
her heart again to now protect the man whom she couldn’t save back then?
~Excerpt~
Edna Allen grumbled as
she pushed her ancient bones off the sofa and crossed the living room, her
slippered feet slapping the floor with each step. Mondays were her lazy days,
and even though it was close to noon, she was still in her pajamas and quite
engrossed in her morning shows. Whoever was ringing her doorbell was
interrupting the spinning of the prize wheel.
Her mind was busy
calculating the difference between the current value of a vacuum cleaner versus
a washing machine when she absently opened the front door. The remote control
slipped from her hand and hit the floor as she took in the sight on her front
stoop. Holding a red rose in one hand and a small dog tucked into the crook of
his arm stood a ghost.
He looked like a man,
but the man he resembled was dead. He had died a long time ago. Or maybe she
was dead. Maybe she had stroked out between the bonus round and the Showcase
Showdown and this was heaven. Maybe heaven was really just watching game shows
in your pajamas all day and having the love of your life appear suddenly on
your doorstep.
Except she didn’t feel
dead. As a matter of fact, she could feel her heart beating strong and quick,
threatening to pound free of her sunken chest.
And he sure didn’t look
dead. In fact, he looked pretty good in a gray three-piece suit, his skin
tanned and his once blond hair now pure white. Beyond his shoulder, Edna could
see old Mr. Ferguson mowing his lawn and she knew there was no way that old
coot would ever make it into heaven, so either she was still alive or there was
a worse alternative.
If she was still alive,
then Johnny Collins was really standing on her doorstep.
A hundred memories
flooded her mind. She had dreamt of this moment a thousand times. She’d planned
a hundred scenarios of what she would do. What she would say. But none of those
clever thoughts came to mind as she opened her mouth to speak. “What in the
Sam-Hill are you doing here?”
The ghost chuckled
softly, the familiar twinkle in his crystal blue eyes. “You haven’t changed a
bit, Eddy.”
Edna’s knees threatened
to buckle at the familiar nickname that only one man had ever called her. “Of
course I’ve changed. And more than a bit. The last time you saw me, I was a
young girl. Now I’m an old woman. It’s been almost sixty years since you’ve
seen me.”
“It feels like
yesterday,” he said. “You look as beautiful as the first day I met you.”
Heat warmed her cheeks
as she took in the sight of the first man she had ever loved. He stood around
six feet tall and was well dressed. A satin square of royal-blue handkerchief
poked from his breast pocket and the color matched his eyes. The eyes that had
looked into hers and pledged to love her until the day he died. And she thought
he had.
She blinked, tears
filling her eyes. “Johnny? Is it really you?”
He nodded, a slow bob of
his head, never taking his eyes off of hers. “Yes, it’s me. I’m really here.”
Choking back the emotion
welling in her throat, she shook her head in wonder. “I thought you were dead.”
“I know. That’s what I
wanted everyone to think.” His expression turned deeply sad for just a moment,
then the charming smile returned as he tipped his head. “Are you going to
invite me in?”
Edna wiped at the stray
tear on her face and narrowed her eyes. “I haven’t decided yet.”
