Every year, I find a new reason to feel blessed. This year
is no different. First and foremost, my family comes before everything. That
never changes. They are my heart and soul. But this year…my dream came true. I
went from writing for me to writing a series for my favorite publisher—Ellora’s
Cave.
I can’t express what a wonderful feeling it was to get ‘the
call’ for my debut, Unexpected Find. Excited, scared, disbelieving but above
all…blessed. They pulled my novel out of the slush pile and gave a newbie
author a chance. I’ll forever be grateful for that.
I hope everyone has something or someone to cherish this
holiday season too.
Happy holidays!
About Me
I've always been an avid reader and encourage everyone to escape the hectic
daily grind with a few minutes a day in your favorite book.
I'm lucky enough to share my cat's home with my three wonderful children,
husband, dog and snake. When not writing, I work as a chemist in a
pharmaceutical lab.
My passions beyond reading and family include music, classic cars, tattoos
and animals (all of which have found their way into my writing in one form or
another).
So that's a little bit about me...

Excerpt
Rafe waited for Josh to leave then stepped behind Jasmine
and slipped an arm around her waist, locking her to him. She molded against
him, softness to hardness, and was short enough to tuck under his arm. She
leaned into his embrace as if she’d done so for a lifetime, head tipped back to
rest against his chest. The easy way she accepted him pushed him to take more.
With a palm on her hip, he tugged her closer, pressed his engorged shaft to her
body. She stiffened and spun, blonde hair very similar in shade to his whipping
with the move. Wide-eyed, she stared at him. He loosened his grip but didn’t
release her.
Gods, she was beautiful. Gray eyes, dilated at the moment, a
few freckles on the tip of a slightly crooked nose and a mouth made for
kissing. Her rounded face with its finely sloped forehead lent her an angelic
quality, but the desire stamped on it ensured she’d be the wicked kind of
angel, given the proper encouragement. And he had every confidence in his
ability to bring out the vixen hidden behind her sweet exterior.
He thought about all the ways he could urge the siren out
and a grin spread. Oh, the unveiling would be fun.
She shoved at his chest, didn’t move him, and huffed. “Let
go, buddy. We’re done.”
Her husky voice wrapped around him and the bite of
irritation in it appealed to him as well. He enjoyed feisty females—in bed and
out.
“But you didn’t answer me,” he replied, enjoying the
confusion making her brows scrunch. Tiny crinkles appeared by the corner of her
almond-shaped eyes. He liked how they looked there.
“What did you ask?”
“Am I hot enough for you?”
Her jaw dropped, but the evidence of her desire drifted to
his nose.
“Good. I’m glad I fit your needs.”
“I didn’t say that.”
“You didn’t have to.” He took her hand, linking their
fingers, and led her away from her human friend and the other males’
appreciative glances. He wanted her alone…to talk.
She hesitated at the entrance to the employee hallway. “What
a sec, buddy. I am not going anywhere with you.”
He tipped her chin up, met those hypnotizing gray eyes.
“Name’s Rafe. Rafe Alexander.”
She licked her lips. “Rafe,” she said.
Damn, his name sounded good in her breathless voice.
“Jasmine.” He tried the name out. It rolled nicely on his
tongue. “Walk with me.”
