Crossing the Railroad

Marie Rochelle fans,
I've posted part of the new book that I'm working on below. Crossing the Railroad. Please let me know what you think. It's a VERY rough draft so please overlook any typos. It is an IR(BW/WM)
Prologue

The woman stood silently in the shadows watching the two people inside the bedroom. She couldn’t
believe after she had warned him to stay away from that slut he hadn’t listened to her. Why did he want to
embarrass her? She had spent most of her life in love with Bill Richardson and even tricked him into marrying
her right after they finished college because she couldn’t imagine her life without in.
She had struck with him all through law school and gave up her dream of being an interior designer just to help him study of all of those stupid tests. Bill actually thought back then she had been doing it for him, but he was wrong. She had set her sights on him the day he gave the speech to the entire student body the second week of school.
Anna Richardson’s gray eyes hardened into cold steel as she listened to her husband’s rich baritone voice whisper repeatedly how much he loved the mocha skinned beauty he was having sex with in their bed.
How could he possibly want Danielle Simmons when he was married to her? Sure, she only stayed with him for the past fifteen years because he was one of the most highest paid lawyers in Georgia. She had gotten tired of his hands being on her body years ago, but how dare he disgrace her with the housekeeper?
Sure back in college she noticed the black woman Bill dated when she was setting her sights on her, yet she didn’t think much of it. Didn’t everyone break out and do different things when they left home? Drink a little more, experiment with lifestyles that they didn’t under their parents’ roof? However, after a person graduated all of that stuff fell into the background as their adulthood approached.
Anna continued to hide in the darkness while her husband made love to the woman she hated on sight. Why hadn’t she stood her ground and fired the housekeeper? She wondered how long this had been going on.
Bill had always found to be around Danielle since the day she started working for them. When she confronted her husband late last year about his eagerness to help their attractive housekeeper Bill just blew her off, but she wasn’t crazy. Her husband was in love with that woman he was sharing his bed with.
She wanted to be more upset about Bill was cheating on her. Feel the need to run in there and jerked his perfectly tanned body off Danielle’s, but truthfully she didn’t give a damn. All she wanted from her husband was the life he accustomed her to.
“I’m not going to let that tramp take away my wealth. It took me years to get here and I’ll do anything to make sure that it doesn’t happen,” she promised. Anna took one last look at the couple in bed and then made her way down the stairs and out the front door.
* * * *

Bill Richardson’s collapsed next to the beautiful woman next to him as a moan of ecstasy slipped through his lips. He couldn’t believe how quickly he had fallen in love with Danielle, but he didn’t want things to end between them. In reality, he only wanted to make them better and there was only one way to do that. Reaching down at the end of the bed he covered them with a light sheet and reached for the woman he had made his life better since she walked through the front door.
“I’m going to divorce Anna,” he whispered kissed the side of Danielle’s neck pulling her sweaty body closer to his damp one.
Danielle snuggled closer and ran her slim fingers through his chest hair. “You know that she’ll never let you leave her for me. We just have to enjoy what we have.”
“No, I want more than an hour in the afternoon with you. I’m in love with you and I’m going to marry you,” Bill insisted stroking Danielle’s smooth back with his fingers. He loved how silky her skin was. She was everything he wanted in a wife.
“Bill, you’re living in a dream world. You’ve been married to Anna since you graduated from college. You’ve built a life with her. I know you’re attracted to me, but that’s it.”
How could Danielle think he wasn’t madly in love with her? Anna wasn’t a wife to him anymore. All she wanted to do was throw parties and spend his money her snappy attitude towards him was getting old.
“Don’t you want to be my wife?” He questioned.
“Of course, I do,” Danielle replied staring into his eyes. ‘But we need to be realistic I’m your housekeeper and I’ve a child from a previous marriage. How will your family, friends and co-workers think about you leaving Anna to be with me?”
“I love Joy like she was my own daughter. She’s such a sweet little girl. After I divorce Anna I want to adopt her legally as soon as we get married,” Bill insisted.
Danielle jumped up and stared down at him. “Are you serious?”
“I’m not playing with you Danielle Simmons,” Bill grinned. “I love you more than anything in this world. I’m going to have my lawyer change my will so everything will be left to you and Joy.”
Soft fingers pressed against his mouth, “I don’t want to hear about that. I’m not thinking about anything happening to you. It would break my heart if you weren’t around for our baby.”
Baby?
Bill removed Danielle’s fingers from his mouth and sat up in the bed, “Are you pregnant?” He whispered staring to pair of killer hazel eyes. He honestly believed Danielle’s eyes were the first thing he fell in love with when he interviewed her for the job.
“Yes,” she replied in a soft voice, “Are you happy about it?”
He was lost for words. How could she think he wouldn’t be out of his mind with happiness? “Baby, I’m more than happy about this. You’ve made me feel like I’m finally going to have the family that I deserved,” Bill exclaimed pulling Danielle against his chest.
“I was a little worried,” Danielle confessed against his chest.
Bill moved her back a little so he could look down into her face. “Why would you be worried?”
“You’re married and sleeping with your black housekeeper. Why wouldn’t I be?”
“Baby, you’re more than the housekeeper and you’re the woman I’m in love with. How many times do I have to tell you that?” Bill exclaimed. Reaching out he placed his hand on Danielle’s still flat stomach. “I want to be there for every moment in our child’s life.”
Danielle placed her fingers over his and smiled. “I want the same thing, but are you sure Anna will let you leave her?”
“Anna isn’t going to have a say. We haven’t been in love for a long time and I’m beginning to think she never loved me in the first place,” Bill sighed removing his hand. “We better get dressed. It almost time for Anna to come home. I don’t want you to be here when I talk to her.”
Tossing the light sheet off his body, Bill climbed off bed and watched Danielle as she slid out of bed and proceeded to get dressed. “You’re so gorgeous. I can’t wait until you’re my wife.”
Fixing her clothes, Danielle came over to him and gave him a quick kiss on the mouth. “Do you know how much I love you?”
“I think I do because I feel the same way,” he smiled then moved back from the tempting woman in front of him. “You really better go. I need to change the bed and remake it before Anna comes home. I’ll call you later after I finish talking with her.”
“Are you positive that everything is going to be okay?” Danielle questioned as he walked her to the door.
“Baby, I’m sure Anna wouldn’t be pleased, but she’s strong and with a nice settlement from me she’ll leave us along, He walked down the steps with Danielle at his side. Pausing by the front door, Bill gave Danielle one last kiss and then opened the door. “Stay home tonight. I’m pretty sure Anna will toss me out and I’ll need a place to stay.”
“You’re more than welcome to stay with me. Joy knows that we’re in love and she’ll love to have you over there. She loved it the last time you read her a bedtime story.”
Danielle walked out the door and glanced at him over her shoulder. “I love you.”
“I love you too, baby,” Bill whispered then closed the door.

Here's more of Crossing the Railroad for you. Remember that it's still a VERY rough draft. Please over look any typos. Let me know what you think by signing the guest book.

* * * *
Sitting down at her kitchen table Danielle watched her eight year old little girl playing on the floor with
her Barbie doll. Bill had brought it for her birthday last week and Joy didn’t go anywhere without it.
Sometimes when she looked at her daughter she saw traces of Joy’s father. Chris had loved their little girl for the second she was born and did everything with her until the day he died. What thirty-five healthy year old male dropped dead from a heart attack driving home from work?
Joy had been five years old when her father died and her daughter had handled it better than her. After Chris’ death she had to find a job, but she hadn’t worked field for so long that getting a good job was near impossible.
For a couple of years she had worked odd jobs until landing the one at the Richardson’s. The second Bill Richardson opened the door the attraction sizzled between them, but she ignored it for the longest time.
Danielle never wanted to be labeled the other woman, but late one night her car wouldn’t start in the pouring rain and he offered her a ride home. Joy was spending the night with her grandparents, but she wanted to be home just in case her little girl called and wanted to come home earlier.
After Bill had gotten her home safely, she offered him a cup of coffee as a thank you for giving her a ride and he accepted before the words were completely out of her mouth.
She’ll never forget that she was at the cabinet reaching for cups when Bill wrapped his arms around her waist and started kissing the back of her neck.
“Mr. Richardson, we can’t do this. You’re married and I work for you,” she moaned turning her neck to give him better access.
“I’ve been separated from Anna for the past five years. She won’t sign the divorce papers.” Bill whispered as his fingers unbuttoned the front of her white shirt.
“This isn’t right.”
“Yes, it is.” Bill disagreed as his fingers worked on the front clasp of her bra. “We both feel it and it would be a shame not to act on it.”
Danielle flung her head back against Bill’s shoulder when the pad of his thumbs played with her nipples. “Please,” she panted brushing her butt across his erection.
“Please what,” his hot breathed whispered in her ear. “Do you want me to stop?” Bill removed his hand off her breast and hand them hovering above her aching nipples.
Grabbing Bill’s hands Danielle placed them back on her heaving breast. “Please don’t stop,” she moaned.
“Sweetheart, I plan of loving all night long and well into the morning,” Bill promised spinning her back around. He quickly stripped her out of her clothes until the only thing she was wearing was a pair of black high heels.
As she tried to remove them Bill pushed her hand away, “Don’t. I’ve fantasies about making love to you in those for months.”
“Really,” she exclaimed watching Bill strip until he was a naked as she was.
A light dusting of brown hair covered his body going down to the huge cock that was pointing right at her. “Mr. Richardson, I can tell you’re more than ready.” Danielle purred brushing her thumb over the tip.
Bill’s erection jerked and swelled even more, she raised shocked eyes to him. “Wow.”
“What can I say? He likes you.” Bill uttered removing her hand. “But if you don’t stop touching him, he won’t make it much longer.”
“Baby, I’m sorry,” she apologized wrapping her arms around his neck and gave him a long wet kiss. “Is that better?”
Growling in the very back of his throat Bill picked her up and laid her down on the island behind them. “I can’t wait until I learn every inch of this brown perfect that you call your body.”
Danielle leaned back on her arms and looked up at Bill noticing the heated look in his bluish-green eyes. “We can’t make love here. It’s too out here in the open.”
“No, it isn’t.” He whispered covering her softer body with his hairy one. “I want to see all of your gorgeousness when I want make love to you.” Spreading her legs, Bill slipped the tip of his thick erection inside of her.
“Damn, sweetheart, you’re so tight.” He panted adding another inch.
She couldn’t think as Bill kept going deeper and deeper inside of her wetness until he was balls deep. Sweat dripped from both of their bodies as he thrust in and out of her at a pace she didn’t know was possible.
“Danielle, you feel so good. Once isn’t going to be enough for me.” Bill swore as he wrapped her legs around his waist increasing his speed even more. The only sounds in the kitchen were the sweat covered bodies coming together again and again.
* * * *

“Mommy, what’s for dinner? Joy’s asked cutting into her memory snapping her mind back to the present.
“How about pork chops?” She suggested smiling over at her daughter. Joy was such a pleasure to be around.
“With apple sauce on the side and macaroni and cheese,” a young voice asked hopefully.
“I think I can do that.” Danielle agreed as she got up from the table.
* * * *

“I’m not giving you a divorce, so you can marry that woman. I don’t care if you’re sleeping with her, but Danielle will never be your wife.”
“Anna, we aren’t a couple anymore,” Bill sighed. When would his wife understand that their marriage ended years ago? “I want to move on with my life. Danielle is pregnant and I want to make a family with her.”
“That bitch is pregnant with your child!” Anna yelled lunging for him. “She isn’t taking anything from my child.”
Stunned Bill moved back from the hate shooting from his wife’s eyes. “You’re pregnant?”
“Who’s the father?” As far as he knew Anna wasn’t dating anymore.
“Honey, you are.” She smirked pleased with herself.
Anna was lying. He hadn’t been with her since Danielle came into his life. She was the only woman sharing his bed and Anna knew that.
“Anna, why are you lying to me?” Bill demanded. “We haven’t been together for years.”
His wife’s thin lips kicked up into a nasty sneer. “My dear husband, you honestly don’t remember us having sex?”
“No, because it’s a lie,” he snapped. “I haven’t been sexually romantic with you in years. You aren’t my type and you know it. I’m in love with Danielle and I’m going to leave you for her.”
“Bill, don’t you recall that vivid wet dream you had about two weeks ago?”
Falling down into the chair behind him Bill’s heart dropped to his knees. “I thought I was making love to Danielle,” he groaned. “I was sick with a high fever and the flu. You took advantage of me.” “I did no such thing.” Anna denied. “I’m your wife and I want to make love to my husband.”
Danielle was going to be devastated when he took her about this. She was already fragile but so lovingly when it came to him and their relationship. This might be the thing that ended the romance he was trying to build them the two of them.
“I can’t stay here. I’ve to go and tell Danielle about this,” he uttered jumping up from the couch. “God, I hope that I don’t lose her over this.” Bill made a speedy exit from the door before Anna could stop him.
* * * *

“Danielle, please listen to me,” Bill begged reaching for the woman that he loved but she slapped his hands away.
“Don’t touch me you bastard,” she cried brushing the falling tears away with the back of her hands. “I believed the lies. You don’t love me. You just wanted to see how it would feel to fuck a black woman.”
“Stop saying that right now,” Bill demanded wrapping his hands around her arms and gave her a small shake. “I love you and our baby. That’s why Anna did this to us. She was scared. She knew I was on my way out of that house. I want to be with you and only you.”
“Anna isn’t going to let you go now that she’s pregnant,” Danielle sighed slipping out of his arms. He senses her immediate withdrawal and it scared the hell out of him.
“She doesn’t have any control over me. I’m going to do what I want.”
Moving away from him Danielle opened the front door. “Bill, you need to leave and please don’t come back. I can’t afford the stress. I’ve my daughter and baby to think about.”
Bill saw that he wasn’t going to get through to Danielle tonight and she did need the rest. “Okay, I’ll leave but I’m not giving up on us. You and Joy will be my family along with the new baby. We’re going to get through this. I love you.”
Before Danielle could shoot him down he planted a soft kiss on her mouth. He poured all the love he felt for her into it. Ending it, Bill ran his thumb over her full bottom lip. “Do you love me?” He asked moving back so he wouldn’t crowd her.
“Yes,” she answered in a low voice.
“Good. Get some sleep and we’ll talk tomorrow,” he promised. Bill turned and left with ways to win back Danielle’s trust running around in his head.
* * * *

Later that night the sound of banging on her front door woke Danielle up out of deep sleep. She flung on her robe and hurried to the door before the loud noise woke up Joy.
Without bothering to look through the peephole, she opened the door and froze. Two police officers were standing in front of her and the expression on their faces. “Mrs. Simmons?” the younger of the two asked her.
“Yes,” she answered as a familiar sinking feeling started to set in.
“We have some bad news fro you ma’am,” the younger officer continued. “There was a shooting tonight at a local convenient store and your boyfriend was shot. We found you name listed as his emergency contact in his wallet.”
Tears poured down her cheeks as she held onto the door so she wouldn’t faint. “Is he okay?” Bill wouldn’t leave her alone like Chris had. No, he promised they would be a family.
“Ma’am, we’re so sorry. He died instantly,” the other office filled in.”
Her knees buckled and Danielle gripped the door even tighter. “He’s gone?”
“Mrs. Simmons, are you okay? Do you need for us to call someone for you?” the young officer asked concerned.
“No, I don’t and thank you for your kindness,” she whispered moving back as the initial shock was wearing it. Bill was dead. He wasn’t going to see his baby girl grow up.
“Thank you for coming by officers,” she muttered then closed the door before they could offer her help again.
The second the door closed behind her she collapsed to the floor. “Lord, why did Bill have to die?” Danielle screamed at the top of her lungs as her grief too over. She lost track of time in those early morning hours. She cried until a pair of small arms wrapped around her shaking body.
“Mama, please don’t cry. It will be okay. You still have me and the baby. Mr. Richardson wouldn’t want you to be upset. He loved us.”
Sucking up the last of her tears, Danielle pulled her little girl's body into her lap. “How did you know I was going to have a baby, Joy?”
“I heard you and Mr. Richardson.” Her daughter replied playing with the buttons on her robe. “Is Mr. Richardson in heaven with daddy?”
Kissing the top of her child’s head, she hugged Joy closer to her body. “Yes, baby he’s in heaven with your daddy.”
“I like that,” Joy replied snugging closer. “Now daddy wouldn’t be so lonely.” Danielle blinked back a fresh set of tears as she held her beautiful daughter in her arms. Joy was going to make a wonderful older sister when the time came.
“Mama, can we name the baby Dyamond if it’s a girl?”
“Why Dyamond?”
“I had a dream about the baby and her name was Dyamond,” came the soft reply.
“Okay, if it’s a girl that will be her name.”
“Mama,” Joy said again.
“Yes, sweetheart.” Danielle answered closing her eyes. She rested her head against the front door. A single tear slid down her cheek and dropped on her shoulder.
“I’m going to be the best big sister in the world. Plus when I get older I’m going to get a good job and take care of all three of us.”
“Really,” Danielle whispered as she tried not to break down in front of Joy.
“I promise,” Joy uttered right before she fell asleep in her lap.

A Sneak Peek at Loving True for my fans

Since Loving True didn't get released on Feb.9th Here's a small UNEDITED excerpt for my fans.

Marie















True glanced out the open window by her couch in her living room. The full moon owned the sky. It sat high with a million stars tossed around it. This was usually her favorite time of the day to read. But tonight the neatly typed pages didn’t hold her attention, so she tossed the romance novel on the table beside her. “I’m so bored.” She tried calling Stephen earlier, but he wasn’t home. She wasn’t used to this kind of peace and quiet. A week was fine. But after two weeks of it, her nerves had her clawing at her skin to get out.
“God, I can’t stand this.” True complained looking around her African inspired living room.
She should be happy with her life; however her body and mind were lonely. She was dying for another person to talk to. Hayward is right next door why don’t you go talk to him, her mind thought. True shook her head. No, she rather die from boredom than spend another second in his rude company. “I can find something to do on my own without involving him,” she uttered.
Rising from the couch, she wandered restlessly around the house and ended up in the kitchen. As her hand reached to flick on the lights, the faint scent of steaks grilling drifted through the kitchen window drawing her attention outside. Brushing the curtain to the side, she peeked out the window and watched Hayward toss another steak on an expensive looking gas grill in his backyard. Her eyes wandered over the snug fit of his well-worn blue jeans, “Hmmm. I’m surprised there isn’t some leggy model type over there with him,” she exclaimed. “Men who look like him usually have that type of woman clawing all over them.”
Easing over to the door, True cracked it open a few inches because she wanted to get a better look at that hot body. What if I’m wrong and there is a woman over there with him and I can’t see her from the window? She didn’t know why she cared if Hayward had a date or not. After the way he treated her earlier, she should just turn right back around and go back into the living room, but there was something about his coolness that drew her. For long as she could remember arrogant men always turned her on, but this was the first time she had ran across one as conceited as Hayward.
In horror, she watched Hayward’s head swing around. He winked when he caught her eye. Jumping back True slammed the door; she placed her hand over her heart, and it fluttered underneath her palm. How could she play indifferent now when he caught her staring at his ass?

Unedited excerpt from upcoming book Beneath the Surface

I thought I would treat my loyal fans to a sneak preview at one of my upcoming books. Let me know what you think.


Driving around late at night had become a second love for Pierce because he could go without the hood on and not have people staring at his face. It gave him such a peace that no one else could imagine. He was still worried about what happened this afternoon with Rynne. She left without even saying good-bye to him. Turning at the next corner he wondered had he ruined the possibility of her ever coming back to his house.
Whenever he had a hard day seeing Rynne always added the spark of fun he needed. But he loved more than her pretty face he also got pleasure from the way she listened to him.
It was like every word that came from his mouth was important and meant something. She didn’t agree with him to pacify his ego. If he was wrong hell Rynne would tell him right out then and there. Conversations were more in depth with her than any other women from his past who agreed with his every point of view. None of them ever argued or express a difference of opinion. His past girlfriends were like trained pets at his beck and call. Women liked those he didn’t want in his life again, Rynne was so refreshing. There wasn’t a problem she wasn’t willing to tackle. About a week ago she had gotten on him for allowing cottage style house he lived in to look so bad.
Rynne had gone on to tell him that if he didn’t want to appreciate the home he needed sell it to someone who would. God, what an outspoken woman she was. Now he had lost all of that because of a few careless words. People said words can’t hurt another person, but he knew what he said caused Rynne to leave. Stopping at the corner for a stop light his eyes picked up on a young woman jogging in the distance.
Leaning over the wheel he made out Rynne’s shapely body in white shorts and a yellow t-shirt, “What in the hell is she doing,” he growled turning at the corner. “Doesn’t she know how late it is? Wait until I get my hands on that gorgeous body of hers I’ll shake some sense into that willful head.” Driving past her Pierce parked his car and got out.
* * * *
Rynne’s heart started to pound in her chest when the car stopped a few feet in front under a burnt out street light and a large impressive man got out. All of her self-defense classes came back in a rush and if he tried to act crazy his ass would get hurt. Preparing her mind and body for an attack she jogged past the figure as his hand shot out and gasped her elbow then his deep voice yelled.
“Tell me why you’re out here running at twelve thirty at night”.
Screaming she kicked at his legs trying to get loose then with her free hand she slapped hard against the side of his head. “Let go of me, you bastard,” Rynne yelled pulling at her other arm without stopping the blows to his head.
“Shit, stop hitting me,” he snapped capturing her flying hand tugging it behind her back.
Kicking him harder Rynne was about to start screaming again when Pierce’s voice broke through her panic. “Rynne, please stop, so I don’t hurt you,” he said making her calm down enough to look into his face.
Falling on his chest she gasped, “My God, you terrified me.” She could hear the hard pounding on her heart inside her ears.
Releasing her wrists Pierce wrapped his arms around her wet T-shirt and pressed her to his hardness. She enjoyed the rich masculine smell the man that was starting to mean more to her than he should. However what he said ever in his house came back to her and made her to move out of out his arms.
“I’ve to go.” She muttered brushing past his body and took off running.
Pierce caught up with her instantly and blocked her path. “Where are you going?” he asked staring down at her.
Why should her care about her whereabouts? It wasn’t like she meant anything to him anyway. “Mr. McMahon, I don’t need you to watch over me.” Rynne muttered. “I’m quite capable of making it back to the hotel without your help.” She went around his body again and ran faster down the middle of the street hoping he wouldn’t follow.
Standing there Pierce watched as Rynne’s long legs carried her further away from him if she rounded the corner it would be harder to catch her. Shaking his head at the spunk of the woman in front of him he took off after her eating up the distance between them.
Rynne was about to round the corner when she felt Pierce’s hand wrapped around her elbow.
She tried to jerk off his touch, but he tripped over her shoe’s heel throwing them down on the grass. She landed on her back as Pierce fell on her chest knocking the wind out of her. Before she could move Pierce pulled her arms over her head and pinned her body below his. The intimate contact made her nipples harder and a pool of heat rush between her legs.
She tried twisting her body around hoping to dislodge Pierce’s body from hers, but it only caused his body to slide between her legs even more. “Get off me,” she screamed in his face.
“Stop struggling and let me help you up.” Pierce uttered.
“I don’t need you or anyone else. I can take care of myself.” She snapped jerking at her wrists.
Passion filled eyes glared into her then ran slowly over her face. “Did something happen after you ran out of my house?” Pierce questioned.
The moisture from the grass was soaking the back of the shirt she was wearing, “Can you please get off me I’m getting wet?” she asked.
Pierce closed the gasp between their faces, “If you let me I can make you wetter than you already are,” he whispered nibbling at the corner of her mouth. Shocked by his words Rynne felt her body responding to him and it didn’t go unnoticed by Pierce either who brushed his chest over her hard nipples.

A promise that is hard to keep after she spots her sexy neighbor.


Hayward Campbell moved to Montana to get away from the tragic death of his of his wife and son. He vows never to let another person get a piece of his heart because he doesn’t want to experience heartbreak again.

Loving True release

Good Morning,
I know that all of you have been wondering when this book would be
released. I'm gotten several emails about it and I'm here to let you
know that it's going through one final edit.

I don't know about a release date yet but I'm hoping that it will be soon. However, you can always email OMP and asked them about the release date for Loving True and when Taken by Storm will also be avaiable in print format for you to buy.
Thank you for your continued support and later on I'll post an
excerpt from my Valentine's Day story on my yahoo group that I submitted to OMP. I haven't gotten a contract for it yet, so I've my fingers crossed.
Have a wonderful day,
Marie

Marie Rochelle

By the way doesn't Julian McMahon look yummy?

Special Delivery is here!!!!

Administrative Assistant Layla Reynolds has loved the Christmas holiday ever since she was a little girl, but she hasn’t been able to enjoy it since beginning to work for Preston Scott at Director Enterprises. Her tyrant of a boss hated the holiday and now she was stuck with him for two weeks at his house during a snow storm.Would she be able to make him enjoy the holiday or would his rotten mood rub off on her?



CEO and founder of Director Enterprises Preston Scott wasn’t a man known to celebrate the Christmas Holiday for any reason. He didn’t see anything wrong with working right through it to the next year. So, why after one day of having the mocha skinned beauty Layla Reynolds in his house he wanted to celebrate the holiday in a whole different way?

"Special Delivery" Christmas Story unedited exceprt

RELEASE DATE: DECEMBER 22nd



Standing inside the office’s open doorway, Layla watched Preston work away at the laptop on his Maplewood desk. She was still wrapping her mind around the fact that she was here at her boss’s house for fourteen days. Preston Scott was a very handsome man. He probably had an address book full of woman willing to suck his toes for a night in his home and bed.
So, why was he spending all of the Christmas holiday with her? Didn’t he know how to treat a woman right, maybe, and that’s why he had an ex-wife instead of a wife? She was really blown away that Preston didn’t seem to care that a stranger was with him. Hmmm…maybe there was some underlining factor she could find out about. She really enjoyed learning what made people tick.
“Miss Reynolds, if you’re done sizing me up, do you mind coming in here?” Preston exclaimed without looking up from his computer.
Busted!
“Sorry, sir, I was only wondering why you’re not upset by the fact you have to spend your holidays with me. A woman that you barely know instead of a loving family member or a girlfriend,” Layla exclaimed, coming into the room. The fire over to the side made the room all nice and cozy. She noticed the snow was continuing to fall at a steady pace out the window to the left of Mr. Scott’s desk. It made her homesick even more.
“You’re an attractive young woman. Why didn’t you turn down my offer?” Preston inquired as his ultramarine eyes shot up and held hers waiting for an answer. He rested his elbow on the desktop and stared at her with an intensity that made her want to squirm, but she didn’t. “Isn’t there some young man that you want to sneak under the mistletoe?”
‘I’m swearing off men for a while, not it’s any of your business, Mr. Scott,” she answered. Why would she be telling her boss this? They didn’t have that kind of relationship. Hell, they had only known each other for a total of three, maybe four hours, tops.
A dark masculine eyebrow arched while one side of Preston’s mouth kicked up, popping out a deep dimple. “I did reject your offer; however, I changed my mind because right now I’m swearing off men.
“Swearing off men….isn’t that a little much for someone as young as you?” He inquired. “What happened, bad boyfriend experience? Did he cheat on you? Or was he not attentive enough to your needs?”
Frowning, Layla crossed her arms over her breasts and glared at her boss as she came closer to the desk and went around the side. “What’s with all the questions? Are you asking so you can fill that spot in my life?” she tossed back, enjoying the shocked looked that passed over Preston’s face before he concealed it.
She stood perfectly still as Preston’s eyes ran the length of her body starting with her eyes and slowly working their way down until they landed at her boot-covered feet. She tried to keep her pulse from racing, but her body never got that hot from just a look. Oh, Preston was sexy without even trying to be. She was going to be in a lot of trouble for the next two weeks, especially if he looked at her that away again. Her breath caught in her throat when his bluish-green eyes lingered on her breasts longer than they should have.

Blog Review

The Story Board Blog Review

This week I visited Marie Rochelle's blog. You can check it out here:



http://shopdiva28.blogspot.com/



Marie is an up and coming interracial romance writer. She uses her blog in a more professional manner, sharing with the reader excerpts, new book covers, where she'll be chatting and when her books will be released.



My favorite thing about Marie's blog? The thought provoking questions she asks. There are some great ones, such as:



- "If you could spend one night with any man in the world who would it be and why?"

- "What two famous people would you like to see on the cover of an IR novel ?"



Let me tell ya, she got a lot of great answers to these questions.



I enjoyed the excerpts she shared, they definitely gave me a peek inside her books to see what they're about and Marie's writing style.



She also has a lot of fans! Reading over her comments, they made me smile. They love her books and beg for future release dates. How wonderful! Marie, you should be proud of the fact you touch so many people!



Now I gotta go out and buy a few Marie Rochelle books myself…



Again, her blog address is: http://shopdiva28.blogspot.com/



Until next Monday, when I'll be reviewing Stacy Dawn's blog…

Excerpt (unedited) from Devilishly Yours: Sequel to BestSeller Taken by Storm

“Come on Sergeant Webster don’t put me on leave now. I swear that I’m okay.”
“No, you haven’t been the same since you came back from you last undercover assignment. I want you to take six weeks off.” Sergeant Webster insisted flinging the file down on his clutter free desk. Leaning back in the leather chair his no sense boss stared at him. “You’re a young man. Take this time off to find a woman. I don’t want you to become a work alcoholic like me.”
“I’m not a work alcoholic. I love being a cop.” Ryan Lerner insisted. “When the right woman comes along I’ll settle down but until then I want to stay busy and working is the only thing for me.”
He didn’t want to take this bogus leave of absence his over protective boss was trying to toss his way. He had to keep his mind off his last assignment. He knew what happened to Syleena’s Webster mother wasn’t his fault. Vivian Webster was a first class whore, but she didn’t deserve to be stabbed twenty times by one of her prostitutes.
“I swear that I’m fine, Sergeant,” he insisted. “Let me have the latest jewelry robbery case.
Standing up his friend and boss for the past four years placed his hands face down on the desk, “Stop asking me to take back your vacation time. You know that it’s mandatory that I do this. At least I’m not sending you to the department shrink.” Sergeant Webster said. “It’s Halloween night. Go home and pass out candy to those adorable kids in your neighborhood.”
His left hand shot up from the desk and a finger pointed toward the door. “Ajana Bennett isn’t your case or problem. Don’t add any extra stress to your life. I’ve noticed how you can’t take your eyes off her picture inside the file. Yes, she’s a very attractive young woman but she is more dangerous than two cobras loose in your bed at night.” Sergeant Webster continued.
“But I was the one who figured out Ajana was the burglar stealing from all the local jewelry stores. It isn’t fair another cop will get the credit for bringing her in.” Ryan complained. He was tired of taking a back seat like Sergeant Webster had ordered him to do for the past couple of months. He wanted to be back out there in front with the other men.
“Hell, it wasn’t your case in the first damn place.” Sergeant Webster sighed falling back down into his seat. “Jones was all over this case until you talked to that reporter.”
Ryan shrugged. “Can I help it if she fell for my charm? Plus who knew I would look so damn good on television?”
“Now isn’t the time for your humor. Miss Bennett stole a priceless jewel from her last robbery. We need to find both of them ASAP.”
“Good, I’m glad you see it my way.” Ryan uttered sitting down overlooking the hard glares tossed his way. “I’ve talked to some people that know Ajana and I think she might be back in town.”
Ryan wanted to solve this case more than anything to prove he still had it. That whole thing with Syleena turned out badly. This was a clean slate he was working with now. Sergeant Webster had to give him another chance to prove his skills as a good cop.

My new book Devilishly Yours Blurb....

Atlanta undercover detective Ryan Lerner took his vow to uphold the law to heart and went by the book no matter what the case was. He loved being a law enforcement officer and swore to maintain that opinion until he retired. Never before had he let his personal feelings get in the way of bringing a criminal in. So why was his resolve tested on his next case involving the eye-catching dark toffee skinned ‘cat burglar’ named Ajana Bennett?
Ajana Bennett didn’t like how Detective Ryan Lerner accused her of being the Atlanta jewel thief two nights before Halloween. So she decided to take matters into her own hands. All she had to do was prove her innocence to him by any means necessary and Ryan was a very sexy man so she didn’t mind spending Halloween or any other night with him.
Would Ajana prove her innocence in time or would Ryan be left holding the bag in…..Devilishly Yours?

Excerpt (unedited) From Loving True Coming Soon from Ocean's Mist Press

“I should have known she would be right on time.” Hayward tossed the potholder on the tabletop. His footsteps ate up the short distance between the kitchen and the front door. He couldn’t believe how excited he was about this date. He ran his sweaty palms down the front of his pants. True didn’t have a clue what a big step this was for him. Blowing out a quick breath, he opened the door. “Hi, I’m glad you could make it.”
“Thank you,” True replied.
His hand tightened around the doorknob True looked like a vision with the moonlight shining behind her. He prayed he would be able to keep his hands to himself all night. Her pink shirt hugged her every curve and didn’t leave anything to his imagination.
“Wow something smells delicious,” True uttered.
He also smelled the spicy scent of the lasagna in the oven drifted toward them from the kitchen. But that wasn’t the scent that held his attention at the moment. “Yes, you do.” Hayward groaned taking a light whiff of True’s perfume.
“Hayward, is there a reason I can’t come in?” True asked staring up at him.
He quickly took a step back. “No, there isn’t. Please come in.” He opened the oak door wider. Flashing him a smile, True brushed past his body and walked into the house. “What did you bring for dessert?” He closed the door behind them and followed her into the living room.
“I made a yellow cake with chocolate icing.”
“How did you know cake was my favorite dessert?” He asked taking the cake from her hands. “Why don’t you follow me to the kitchen?” He turned, then headed in the direction of the kitchen
“You have a breathtaking home.” True mumbled behind him. “I hate to admit that I’m a little jealous.”
He had looked at her house first before deciding to buy this one. His house design differed from hers with its vaulted ceilings. Four wide-open windows on the far wall overlooked beautifully landscapes backyard. Plus his breakfast nook was separate from the kitchen area with it’s own window.
Hayward placed the warm cake in the middle of the marble island and took one last whiff of the mouth-watering sweetness. “Thanks again for bringing dessert.” He stared at True in the kitchen doorway and his pulse quickened at the sight of her. “True, you don’t have to hover in the doorway. I won’t bite you if you come in here.”
He watched True ease away from the door and come toward him. Once again she proved she wasn’t intimidated by him. “Thank you again for inviting me to dinner. A home cooked meal bets a TV dinner any day of the week.” She commented standing mere inches in front of him.
Hayward hid his smile. “You’re welcome.” His gaze traveled over her face, then moved over her body slowly. Why did she have to look so perfect all the time? “I didn’t think you would actually show up,” he confessed. The sweet intoxicating scent of her body overwhelmed his mind and body. It was hard for him to keep a rational thought.
“How much longer until the food is done?”
“If I tell you something, you can’t laugh.”
Tilting her head to the side True stared at him and he could tell her curiosity was aroused. “Okay, I promise I won’t laugh.”
“I was so excited about our date that I turned on the oven timer, but I forgot about the oven. He glanced at her face for any kind of expression. A very tiny smile touched her lips. “Hey, you promised not to laugh.” He waved his finger toward the slight smile on her lips. “Don’t you dare laugh at me anyone could have made the same mistake.”
“I’m not laughing,” True whispered pressing two fingers to her mouth.
Hayward couldn’t take his eyes off her because the smile lit up her entire face. “Do you know how much I want to kiss you?” The second the words left his mouth, the light went out of her face. Shit, why did I have to say that to her? His brows drew into a frown when she eased away from him. He needed to save the situation fast or this date was over.

New Contract!!!!

Hey! I just wanted to let all my fans know that I signed a new contract with Ocean's Mist Press for my Christmas story called "Special Delivery."

Marie Rochelle: Coffee and Cream

I have a website. It's still a WIP, but I thought everyone might want a sneak peek at it.

www.freewebs.com/irwriter

Marie Rochelle

YES! YES!

I'm on Cloud 9! I just finished the second book in my brother series. I've been working on that book for a while now and last night I typed THE END!

So, I thought I would share my news with my wonderful readers! However I don't get time to rest I've to finish researching the latest book in The Men of CCD series.

Don't have a clue when I'll finish this one. My hero is a strong character.

Wish me luck. Until next time.

Taken by Storm is Number #!

I can hardly sit still. I was over at OMP Website and under Bestsellers "Taken by Storm" was in the top spot. Now I can call myself a best selling author. Can you believe it?

I really want to thank everyone who took their time and hard earned money to purchase my first IR romance book.

Hopefully everyone will fall in love with Hayward and True the way they did with Storm and Syleena.

I haven't gotten a release date on "Loving True" but as soon as I do I'll let everyone know.

Just to remind you "Loving True" is a interracial romance between a BW/WM.

Marie Rochelle

Working out.....

I love watching good looking men working out at the gym sometimes I even find one to use as a muse for my books. There is just something about an attractive man that's all sweaty from a good workout that I find attractive.

So my question is what actor, singer or any other man in the public eye would want to spend a day watching as a line of sweat slowly work it's way down his body?

Marie Rochelle

Ryan needs some love......

Ryan is looking for your help Marie Rochelle fans. He is very happy that Storm and Syleena found love in Taken by Storm, but he feels a little left out.

He wants a HEA (Happy Ever After)of his own. Let's get our thinking caps on and come up with a way Ryan for meet his own true love. I probably won't be able to start working on Mister Ryan for a little while, but I do want to hear everyone's ideas.

Marie Rochelle

My interview.....

http://strictlyseductive.blogspot.com/

One on One with Rachel Cade

1. For the readers that don’t know you’re the wonderful author of “Once is Never Enough.” What made you write that book and is there a sequel in the future?

What made me write Once Is Never Enough? Good question, I actually started writing that story originally in 1998. In fact I still have the notebook that I wrote in on in long hand:). The story itself has been revamped slightly from that version but I always wanted it to just be a scathingly erotic adventure. I hadn’t at that point ever read a novel where the two main characters had enough passion for me. So the novella was a bit experimental, it was my first and I wanted to see what I could do. I think it turned out beautifully. Even though it’s a short story the characters passion is molten hot and that’s just what I wanted it to be, two people that don’t know each other but have this irresistible attraction. The sequel is in progress.



2. What is your favorite part about your writing routine? Is there one thing you have to do before you can start a book?
Most often I don’t do research or outlines with my books. I am a bit reckless and unorganized that way but most often the characters make up the plot as the story goes
along just reacting to each other. One thing I love to do though is make Soundtracks for each of my stories on my MP3. That’s a bit of a guilty pleasure.


3. If you could pick any of your males to come to life who would it be and why?
Just one? That’s so mean! LOL. I don’t know if I could choose between Zenya and Simon ... they’re both blond and positively devastating! I would have to have them both.



4. Out of all of the books you have written which is your hottest? And who is your favorite hero and heroine?
That I think would be a tie between Once Is Never Enough and Nineteen for hottest story. My fav hero and heroine would be Zenya and Toni, they have such amazing chemistry and they’ve been with me so long:)



5. Do enjoy writing love scenes?
I do, but it’s kind of a double edged sword. With Once, it was my first book so essentially I could do whatever I wanted. It came out so good and so now I compare each of my new scenes to Toni and Zenya. I try to be as detailed and explicit as possible with my love scenes, and they tend to go on for pages. So its a challenge to keep it new,
because it always has to be new.



6. I heard that you signed book contracts with Ocean’s Mist Press and Venus Press how excited are you about that?
Very, all three are projects I completed last year, each is very different. Nineteen is a contemporary menage. A Sorta Fairytale is my first fantasy/romantic comedy and Dark Knight is a somewhat gothic paranormal, so it will be interesting to hear people’s reactions. I’m looking forward to it.




7. What made you decide to become a writer of interracial romances?
All throughout my teens I wrote romances, subtly, or perhaps not so subtly I found my heroes were not AA. I have a thing for white guys though, always have, and I love romance novels so I guess it was only a matter of time. I love it though and I will continue to write them, even if they never become ‘mainstream’



8. Is there one of your characters that you feel you relate to the best?
I think there is a little of me in all of my characters, even it’s just 1%. The character that I based most on myself was Lorna from Foreign Exchange.



9. There’s no doubt that you’re going to be a hot up and coming author with the way you can draw a reader into your books. So, who do you think is going to join you in those same ranks?
There are lots of great writers out there: Shiree McCarver, Marie Rochelle, Shelly Laurenston, Jade James, Anisa Damien. In fact all of them have more books published and or contracts than me at the moment :o I better step up my game!


10. Your time. Tell us anything you want. What new books are you working on? Do you have a blog? Webpage? What’s does the future hold for Ms. Cade?
I am doing my first chat Wednesday evening July 5 at The Romance Studio at 9 pm.
I will talk about everything so hopefully plenty will show up. I am working on my free read
Beyond Fantasy:Tequila Sunrise, its bbw with a Latin hero. I am doing edits for two projects and doing my best to finish Once Is Never Enough Part 2, Toni and Zenya are being stubborn. After that I hope to start daring to do full length novels only.

Now my interview with Aliyah Burke.....

1. What made you decide to become a writer of interracial romances?
I always wanted to be a writer. And I was becoming tired of the same old storyline of woman who needs a man to save her; I decided to create one where the woman ends up with the man because she wishes to. Because she loves him and he loves her. As far as the interracial aspect it just seemed natural to me. It is easiest for me to write what I know and experience, that true love is colorblind.


2. What is your favorite part about your writing routine? Is there one thing you have to do before you can start a book?
I like how relaxed I feel after and during it. Especially after work, ‘cause Lord knows I need to relax after that. And all the different color of pens that I get to play with and use during edits.
Before I can start a book I have to have a fresh notebook. I get easily sidetracked if there is previous writing in a place I am looking to create in.


3. If you could pick any of your males to come to life who would it be and why?
Now that’s a loaded question Marie. I love all my males. There are aspects of each and every one of them that draw me to them. So I don’t know if I could answer that. Plus my husband will read this.


4. Out of all of the books you have written who is your favorite hero and heroine?
Wow, another tough one. I honestly don’t know. They all have special places in my heart. Tyson is near the top and so is Jayde. But I couldn’t pick one of each with a definite certainty.


5. Do your characters continually talk to you or can you turn them off anytime that you want?
The women are for the most part silent. The men…well let’s just say I wish I had a mute button for them at times. They are on 24/7 and there are times they drive me nuts. The men run my life, waking me up at all hours to work on their story. You know how they are. So while I wish I could, I would miss them if they were gone.


6. I heard that you recently signed book contracts with Ocean’s Mist Press how excited are you about that?
Extremely excited. I am new to this world of e-publishing and am very thrilled to now be a part of it with OMP. And I am in very good company, congrats on your contracts with them as well.
The hero in this book just “appeared” in my head one day demanding his story be told and so I listened and here we are.





7. For the readers that don’t know you’re the wonderful author of “A Knight’s vow.” What made you write that book and are any more time travel books in your future?
Like with most of my characters, Marcus and Katrina just showed up one day. I love knights, horses, adventure and it kind of grew from there. I am currently working on the research for the second one that focuses on Nikolas, who is Marcus’ half brother. This one will be an IR time travel as well.


8. Is there one of your characters that you feel you relate to the best?
No not really. I see a bit of myself in all the heroines I have in my stories. I won’t tell you with what or how, but I do see it.


9. There’s no doubt that you’re going to be a hot up and coming author with the way you can draw a reader into your books. So, who do you think is going to join you in those same ranks?
Thank you for saying that. But I think it is more I am aspiring to join those ranks. I know you Marie will be there. You have a few books coming out with OMP as well. I am glad to see that. I really enjoy Shiree McCarver and Rachel Cade to name two. There are so many authors out there who are writing such amazing books it would be a privilege to be considered of the same caliber.


10. Your time. Tell us anything you want. What new books are you working on? Do you have a blog? Webpage? What’s does the future hold for Ms. Burke?
I am staying very busy working on more books. I have a few series that I am trying to get finished. And doing some research for others. Very busy.
No blog yet. I just started a yahoo group and am currently working on getting a webpage going. My future? Who knows, hopefully more published books. I am a military wife so my future is most often up in the air.
Thank you so much for asking me to do this, Marie. It was awesome and like usual it was great talking with you again.

Coming soon....my interview with Aliyah Burke author of "A Knight's Vow."

Look for it this week or no later than next week.

Until then.

Slow Seduction excerpt.

This is the second book in The Men of CCD: Clinton Campbell and Jenisha Roman. This is a rough draft.


Jenisha couldn’t believe how Clinton shuddered under her light touch. How could she not want to touch him? The sight of his muscles rippling down the long tanned torso and flat stomach taunted her to test them out. She stroked the solid wall of muscle that was his chest loving the hardness of this wonderful male positioned in front of her.

She gasped when Clinton’s hand cupped her swollen left breast in one large hand. He rubbed his thumb across the hard nipple. She closed her eyes at the wonderful sensation. Falling back on the bed she allowed Clinton to cover her body with his hairy one.


Cool air brushed her inner thighs as long masculine fingers showed her gown further up her thighs. Clinton spread her legs and got comfortable between them. They both moaned at the same time at the first feel of him against her. He thrust the thickest part of his body to hers trying to get closer to her heat, but her underwear and his pants hindered his wishes. Resting his elbows on either side of her body Clinton joined their mouths for a warm, erotic, long, drugging, kiss. He used his tongue as a weapon inside her mouth and she savored the hint of coffee on his tongue. She moved her hand up his strong back lightly digging her short nails into his skin.

Clinton growled in the back of his throat. “Oh baby how did you know I would like that?” He grunted on her neck. He eased the straps of her nightgown down her arms to her waist exposing two plump breasts. Filling his hands, he cupped the full dark brown mounds squeezing and massaging them before taking a hard nipple into his mouth. He sucked on one nipple until it was rock hard then moved on the other one. By now, she was twisting around on the bed begging him to end her aching.

Good News......

I heard back from Ocean's Mist Press about Slow Seduction, the second book in The Men of CC submission and it was excellent news. I got offered a contract for this book.

I'm on cloud nine! I'm so happy. I just couldn't believe it. Oh in other news I have started working on the last book Tempting Turner in The Men of CCD.

Until next time.

Slow Seduction excerpt

Taken by Storm Blurb

College student Syleena Webster is jaded on her opinion of men, thanks in part to her mother’s free lifestyle with them. Still she maintains her romantic belief that the perfect man for her is out there. And no matter what her body says, it is not the ‘perfect’ brother her affluent roommate took her home to meet.
Wealthy banker, Storm Hyde has concluded there isn’t a woman alive to hold his attentions longer than six months. All that changes when his younger sister brings home her roommate for the summer. Totally unprepared for his reaction to the ebony beauty and her soulful brown eyes, the surprise reaction he gets in turns makes him send Syleena running for the door.
Five years later they meet again, with her on the arm of another man. Will Storm be able to make Syleena understand the mistake he made all those years ago?

A small excerpt from "Taken by Storm"

I wanted to get everyone another taste of my first IR romance that will soon be released by Ocean's Mist Press called "Taken by Storm.

Please let me know what you think.

Taken by Storm

Shaking off his grip, she took a step back toward the open doorway. She wasn’t going to let Storm force her into doing something that she wasn’t ready to admit to yet. “No, I’m keeping my date with Brian. I thought about him a lot last night and I don’t think I’m giving him a fair chance. So I’m going to spend as much time as I can with him while I’m here.”
“Who knows,” she shrugged. “Maybe April is right and we’ll be related before you know it.”
Syleena waited for Storm to blow up, but instead he just stood by the edge of the table and stared at her. There was almost an eerie calmness to his face and eyes. She wrapped her arms around her body at the sudden chill in the room.
“Don’t do it Syleena,” Storm threatened. “I’ll let you us Brian as shield a little longer, but don’t ever think you’ll walk down the aisle with him.”
“I’m not your sister. You can’t give me orders and expected me to obey them. I may be a guest in your house, but that doesn’t make you my keeper.” Syleena snapped. She ran out of the room upstairs to her bedroom.
“Oh, I don’t want to be your keeper Syleena and you’ll figure that out soon enough.” Storm muttered.

Loving True excerpt

Everyone here's a small excerpt of Loving True. I'm still not quite finished with it yet, but I wanted everyone to get a feel for my hero Hayward Campbell.

Let me know what you think.

Chapter One
Construction industrialist Hayward Campbell walked across the porch of his newly remolded home and squinted in the bright morning sunlight. It was July, and up in the mountains it meant scorching sun and cool breezes. He let his robe hang open, enjoying the breeze across his naked chest, and the slight flapping of his green silk boxers against him. He sighed and stepped on the dew covered grass, the soft green grass felt good to his bare feet as he sauntered along.
He was in no hurry, the peace fullness of his cabin was the thing he needed, and hopefully in time, it could help to mend his battered heart. Nothing could ever fix the damage that she had done. But if what everyone said was true, maybe he could learn to live with it.
Hayward slowed his gait. Unconsciously he caught the edge of his robe and pulled it together. Someone had moved in the house next door because the For Sale sign was gone. He felt a burst of anger at the intruder; this was his peace of heaven. Who would dare invade his paradise?
How could he not notice someone was moving in next door? Was he so locked away inside this house that not once did the sound of a moving truck echo through his ears? Just how long had the For Sale been missing from the yard? A month? A week? He really couldn’t remember the last time he saw the tan sign next door. His real estate broker had tried to make the owner an offer for him, but the guy never would accept any of his offers.
He had lost count how many females had rented the house only to leave after two months of living there. Rural Montana wasn’t a place most women want to live in the first place, so he still didn’t until why so many moved in next door.
There weren’t any clothing stores or restaurant for miles and he loved that. The unfortunate women who had moved next door found out rather quickly and moved rather quickly.
The further away he was from the fast paced speed of the city the calmer his life was. That kind of life had cost him something precious and he wasn’t about to be pulled back into the lifestyle again for anyone, no what how much his family wanted it.
His brother called him last week and tried to coach him into coming back for a little visit, but he turned him down instantly. Now, he loved his brother however it was past time Clinton stopped trying to heal his wounds. His like the pain the memories caused him, it made him realize how being focused only on money shattered his life.
Rubbing the side of his eyes with the back of his hand, he blinked some of the sleep from his dark blue eyes and wondered about his new neighbor. Would it be another woman this time? The last females who had lived there within six months of each other thought he might need a little ‘extra’ neighborly hospitality, but he shot their ideas rather quickly. He didn’t move out here to find a warm body to his bed doing the winter months.
Hayward couldn’t want to find out who was the next person was that decided to take on the chance of living in that huge house next door. It didn’t matter if it was a family, a man, or a woman. As long as they left his to his own devices he would be the best neighbor that anyone could ask for. He was about to turn and go back into the house the sound of a speeding car coming down the street caught his attention.
A firecracker red Mustang pulled up into the driveway next door and the roaring engine became a soft purr before it was shut off. Well, his question was about to be answered in a few seconds. Please don’t let it be another lonely female looking for a man, because he wasn’t about to fit into the role ever again in his life.
The car door swung open then as he watched, a pair of well-toned cocoa legs appeared, followed by a nicely firm bottom encased in blue jean shorts. She got out of the car, stretched, took in a long full breath, and his blood warmed at the sight. He would swear a plain white t-shirt never looked so good.

A bright new week

I'm really hoping to get another excerpt from one of my books posted today or no later than tomorrow. I've been so busy this past weekend that I haven't had any free time for myslef, but I do want to post something else for everyone to read.

Just keep an eye out.

Thanks!

Loving True/Slow Seduction

First, I have to let you know that Loving True is my baby. I love Hayward Campbell so much. I think he's a perfect alpha male with all the flaws that comes with being such a strong personality type. Now don't get me wrong this guy has FLAWS! It's going to take a very strong and supportive woman to deal with all the craziness and maddness that he'll toss her way.

I believe I found that woman in True Williams. True has her own personal problems that she has to get over from her past and learning to trust again is a BIG part of it. However, I feel these two people are meant to be the next super IR couple.

I finished this book last year, but I haven't sent it off to OMP yet. I wanted to go over it one more time to make sure everything looked perfect.

In addition to Hayward being a super HOT alpha male. He has an equally hot semi-alpha male brother named Clinton Campbell. He has his own hot story called Slow Seduction. This story is also finished, but I wanted to check it one more time too.

I know that Hayward and Clinton Campbell will make a wonderful addition to the new IR romances on the market out there today in e-publishing.

I'll let everyone know when I've submitted these two book and what the outcome is.

Busy day.

Well, I just want to thank all the people who keep coming by and posting to my blog. You really don't know how much it means to me. I love reading what everyone has to say.

Today was a busy day for me. I added three new chapters to a sequel I'm working on, but I've to start researching a new book that I'm have a rough draft for. So far it has gotten pretty good feedback from my critique partners.

Today has been a good day.

I've had a pretty good day. I got to work on my mss at lot while I was at work today. When I came home I got to type a lot of it in the computer. Hopefully, I'll be able to add at least three more chapters to the other mss I'm working on.

Well, that's all I have for now.

BTW I might be able to post another small excerpt of My Deepest Love later on in the week.

Ocean's Mist Press

Ocean's Mist Press just offered me a book contract for my mss Taken by Storm. I can't believe it! I'm on cloud nine!

Finished Taken By Storm

I've finally finished my second book that I've been working for the past eight monthst and it feels wonderful!

My Deepest Love excerpt

Here's a quick excerpt of the new mss that I'm working on. Please over look the typos. It's a very rough draft.

Chapter One

Traci Wells stared at the cell phone in her hand in disbelief. “I can’t believe she cancelled on me again.” She huffed shoving the phone back in the gym bag. “She knows we work out together three times a week. How could Cherise schedule another meeting?”
Getting out of the car she slammed the door and stormed into the local fitness club. She stopped at the desk signed in on the clipboard and then headed to the workout room. Pausing in the doorway, Traci watched the other members of all shapes and sizes sweating to the beat of their individual music. At her left a family was using the bikes as part of their cardio working out. A young woman in her twenties walked in front of them heading to her step class at the end of the hall. She noticed a couple of body builders using the weights through the glass window behind the bikes. Why would they want to have that much muscle on their bodies?
Sighing she made her way over to the mats, so she could stretch before the aerobics class. If she didn’t love potato chips the gym wouldn’t ever be a part of her life. But she needed a way to work off her favorite snack, so here she was. Her best friend suggested the low fat kind, but what’s the thrill of eating a plain chip? If she was going to cheat she would do it the right way. Tossing the bag to the side Traci fell to the mat already hating the night ahead.
After class tonight, she would have over to her sister’s work and give her the riot act. Cherise always found a way to back out the last minute when it came to going her with her. It was supposed to be a sisterly work out plan, but her big sister wasn’t keeping up her part of the deal.
Sure, she knew that Cherise stayed busy with the antique shop, but she needed more than that in her life. How did ever except to find that man she was always talking about if she stayed hid away in that shop?
Pushing her sister to the back of her mind, Traci folded one of her legs in front of her and reached over to touch her opposite toe. She loved stretching before her work out. It made the routine so much easier to follow. The step class she signed up for was really fast paced and it could break a weaker person in the same day. She had been in this class almost two months now and she loved it.
Moving her legs around, she reached for the other leg and felt the pull of her muscles getting ready for another nice of fun. She didn’t know if she really like working out as much as she enjoyed staring at all the gorgeous guys that came here. This was the hot spot for the best looking guys in town. Taking a quick glance around the crowded room, she noticed the guy she really looked it wasn’t here tonight.
She had never been into picking up guys at the club or the gym, but after taking a glance at him in those tight black gym shorts, she changed her mind quickly. But she didn’t have enough nerve to approach him, so she just stared at him from afar. Anyway, Cherise would have a fit she knew she even looked at the guy in the first place.
* * * *
Zack Drace was coming from his nightly kickboxing class when he noticed the woman again over on the mats stretching her sexy body. He knew he needed to head home, but he couldn’t resist taking a peek at her. Tonight the shoulder length brownish black hair was pulled into a tight bun shoving off her tempting neck. A white sports bra and matching short highlighted her chocolate brown skin. It showed off all her delicious curves. Walking over to an empty table, he found a seat where he could watch her without being detected. His interest in this one particular woman shocked him because out of all his brothers he favored red heads. Glancing at his watch Zack noticed his class had ended early, which meant he had at least ten extra minutes to watch her.
Leaning back in the chair, he pulled his water from his gym bag and took a quick drink. He always carried extra water with him because his kickboxing class always too a little extra out of him. He loved coming to the gym to work out and when his younger brother Richard had the chance he would come with him. Screwing the top back on his water, he sat it on the table and watched the object of his interest finish her stretching, then stand her. It didn’t go over his head that he wasn’t the only man checking out her sexy body and for some reason that bothered him. However, she seemed totally oblivious to him and the other men running their eyes up and down her body. She adjusted her sports bra and picked up her sky blue gym bag off the floor and turned in his direction.
Zack rested his back against the seat and tried to think of a way to get her into a conversation. He didn’t even know if she would be interested in dating a white man, but he could at least test the waters with a quick hello. He saw that she was getting closer to him, so he coughed to clear his throat. He didn’t want his voice catching when he was trying to impress her.
“Hi” He said the second she was within hearing range.
She paused in mid-step and started down at him. Her whiskey brown eyes blinked, then a smile spread across her full mouth. “Hi.” She whispered back and then she continued to the step class behind him.
Turning around in the seat, he noticed how the short hugged her well-defined bottom. Yes, there were some definite possibilities there if he could go by the look her saw in her eyes. The alarm went off on his watch and he cursed under his breath, Lee was going to kill him. This was the second time this month was he would be late for the Drace brother’s Wednesday night dinner.
Zack got up from the car and snatched his gym bag off the floor. Oh well, he didn’t care because he finally got to speak to the goddess in the white workout outfit. He hoped that she would be back tomorrow. Maybe then, he could introduce himself and see where things went from there. Whistling he strolled toward the front doors and went out with thoughts of her in his mind.

My Deepest Love

I just realized I have been so busy that I haven't updated my blog in a while. I've my newest IR mss called My Deepest Love. So far I've been able to write it without any huge problem coming into my path.

I'll probably will make it into a series like I mentioned in my last post. The others characters in the book are screaming for me to do so and how can I deny them what they want most out of life?

If I get a chance I'll post a little excerpt for everyone to read.
