Excerpt #2 - BACKLASH, Romantic Suspense

There's nothing like a book to share a lazy Sunday afternoon with. A quiet spot to curl up in, maybe in the shade with a cool drink. How about on a towel on a sandy beach with the cool lake water near by? Could be your on a train travelling through a country by rail. Sitting on a park bench. The possibilities are endless.

And he was only human

His hands did a slow glide up her arms, over her shoulders to her face. He gently tilted her head and waited. Waited for the slight parting of her lips, the invitation to enter. When it came, it almost brought him to his knees.

He dove in like a man who’d been too long in the desert and she was his first taste of water in years. He needed his tongue in her mouth, tasting, savoring. He needed the warmth pulsing through his system to burn forever.
