***WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONTENT 18+*** I could feel the pulse in my neck begin to throb as I heard the beeps from the keypad outside the door. Damn it. I’d cased this place for a month and I had the employee's schedules memorized. I’d taken care of the security guard, he would be out for at least an hour. No one should be here right now. I palmed the gun strapped to my thigh ready to go out in a blaze if necessary as the door slowly swung open. “You r

***WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONTENT 18+*** I felt Ethan’s passion for me as he surged into me over and over in near desperation searching for his release. But I felt disconnected from him, as if I was floating above our bed looking down on two people that I didn’t know anymore. How had we gotten here? We were as close as two human beings could possibly be, yet farther apart then I could ever have imagined. My body responded to him as it usually did. I

“Help me! Somebody help me please!” A panicked female voice cried out from a far corner of the apartment I’d just stepped into. She must have heard my ax break down the door. The smoke was so heavy that visibility was virtually non-existent. I could hardly see anything. “Where are you ma’am? I’ll come to you.” I called out as I navigated my way around burning embers that had fallen from the partially caved in ceiling. My pulse thumped with adrenaline as I quickly assessed tha

There are just three days left in the A to Z Blog Challenge and it's truly been a whirlwind. I haven't added up my total word count so far but I would imagine I've averaged at least 500 words per day to date. And let's not forget I'm a single mom with a very busy life! But this challenge proved both a distraction and an opportunity. I have two full length manuscripts I'm working on and this challenge certainly gave me an excuse to do something else than the hard work of slogg

***WARNING: SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONTENT 18+*** When the animal skin loincloth drifted to the floor my heart almost stopped. I was in a room surrounded by male strippers parading around as Vikings. Actually I was trapped on a boat with male strippers parading around as Vikings. What the fuck had my sister gotten me into? A free cruise she said with all expenses paid. Who was I to turn down a free vacation? She conveniently left out the part of about it being a themed cruise. The

***Warning: Sexually Explicit Content. 18+*** This is a continuation of Taste I stood in the wake of Chase Anderson for at least two minutes trying to grasp what had just happened. First of all, everything about him screamed sex. He easily towered over me by five or six inches and his tight fitted black t-shirt and low slung jeans left little to my imagination. Second, he smelled like cake. Rich, decadent, and totally irresistible. It never occurred to me that a man who smell

***Warning: Sexually Explicit Content. 18+*** Damnit! You’d think after three years of doing this show with the same set, folks would know how I liked my knives organized. The last thing I wanted to do was have a meeting with the director about knives. Between shooting the show and running multiple restaurants, dealing with bullshit was not even close to making it on my to-do list. That’s what assistants were for. I shot a quick text to Quinn to handle it for me. I needed to

***NO SPOILERS*** Ok. Fine. You got me. I'm a bit of a fangirl when it comes to Outlander. Both the books and the show. Now that we've got that out the way.... I need to talk about one of the side characters in the story who goes by the title of The Duke of Sandringham. But in reality he should be called the Douche of Sandringham. This vile little man is pretty much up to no good and has the nerve to be totally obnoxious about it. I don't want to give too much away if you are

Zachary had served his time. He never denied that he had made bad choices in his life but he had faced the consequences of those choices like a man. The reality was that everything he’d done, he’d done for her. Mackenzie. He’d given up 5 years of his life just to protect her and she never even knew it. The last time she saw him, words filled with rage spewed from her mouth like lava from a volcano. But he’d forgiven her, because it wasn’t really her fault. Stepping out into t

I know it sounds like I'm whining (because I am) but the fact is, I've got a full time life and I write in between! One of the things I did for myself recently was remodel my home office. Which really means that I decluttered it, painted it, and re-purposed some furniture that I had in storage. But those changes have made a world of difference. I now have a very comfy writing space where I can sit on the sofa or recline on the chaise, or work at my desk. No TV, no phone, no i
