Now I turn the spotlight on my smart and sexy book. It's one close to my heart because it was my first published story. Before I do, however, I'm turning down that spotlight and bringing the lights down low for a little mood setting. It might get a little naughty soon. ;-)
Here are two teasers from my contemporary suspense novel Arms of Serenity. The hero Nick is former Special Forces, sinfully sexy and full of guilt over the loss of one of his team members. The heroine Becca is small town girl who is content living the single life and running her bakery. Her past taught her the hard way that love and happy endings were nothing more than a fairy tale. Neither of them wanted anything more than a hot and steamy one-night stand. What they got, however, was so much more...
Teaser #1:
He closed the door laughing and came around to slide into the
driver seat. “Before we start our evening, I have something for you.”
He reached in to the backseat and then handed her a bouquet of roses.
There were eleven white roses surrounding one single red rose. It had
to be one of the most perfect roses she had ever seen. Fully bloomed,
its vibrant red color was stunning.
She turned to Nick and said in almost a whisper, “They’re
beautiful. Thank you.” Becca hesitated. She wasn’t sure how to ask,
but she had to know why he placed one red rose in the middle. “Nick?
Why the one red rose? I mean they are gorgeous, but…”
Nick cut her off. “In life, we are surrounded by beauty. The
people we meet, a sunset and flowers just like these.” Becca watched
as his hand skimmed over the white roses. “Sometimes, though, we
get lucky, and we catch a glimpse of a rose where its beauty surpasses
all others. Its perfection calls to you. Its delicate petals beckon to be
touched, and its sweet scent intoxicates you until you can think of
nothing but that rose. It stands out against all others, and you would
give anything just to be able to look upon its perfection once more.”
He put his hand under her chin and lifted until she was level with his
eyes. “You, Becca, are that rose.”

“You have too many clothes on.”
Damn right he did. Nick ripped at his shirt and fumbled with
his jeans trying never to lose sight of her. Her fingers twirling the
patch of hair, her breasts heavy begging to be touched, and the desire
flaming in her eyes were causing his blood to boil. When he was
naked, his cock stood straight out pointing directly at where it ached
to be. He took a step forward zeroing in on his target.
She held her hand up against his chest to stop him. With her
free hand, she ran down the length of his cock and cupped his balls.
She twirled each around and then left them to run her fingernail up the
underside. She fisted him when she got to the tip and pumped him
slowly.
“You’re so hard. I love the feel of you in my hand. I like how
you feel in my mouth, too.”
Nick had started to move back and forth to the rhythm of her
hand. The thought of him inside her mouth and feeling those lips
wrapped around him made his balls tighten up. She was driving him
crazy. Every stroke was bringing his release closer. He couldn’t hold
back much longer. He put his hand over hers to stop her.
“Angel, you’re playing with fire. I want to be inside you
watching your face as I make you scream my name.”
Her eyes grew dark, and he could see the rise of her chest as
her breathing quickened. He let her hand go when she nodded.
“Okay, but one quick taste.”
She rubbed her finger around the tip of his cock swirling
through the moisture that settled there while she dipped her other
hand lower. She brought her finger that glistened from her juices to
his lips and the one from him up to hers.
“Taste.”
It was all she said as she sucked on her finger and slid the
other into his mouth.
