Teresa Keefer and I met at an event in Indiana. It was a quick meeting but she still agreed to do an interview!

Author Bio

Amazon Erotic Horror bestselling author Teresa Keefer writes both contemporary and paranormal romance. When she isn’t writing or working at her day job in the human resource field, she enjoys cooking, gardening, crafts, and caring for the menagerie of animals she lives with in the rural Hoosier state area. A spiritualism scholar, Teresa has had some interesting conversations with the spirit world. As an indie author, she enjoys traveling to book signings and meeting new readers.

Tell us about yourself.

I’m a human resource professional by day and a contemporary/paranormal romance writer by night. I also enjoy gardening, cooking, traveling, crafting and spending time with my family.

When did you know you wanted to be an author?

About 18 years ago, I shared a poem or two that I had written with my best friend. He was impressed and suggested I try to write full length stories and gave me a story line to work with. I cranked out a couple chapters and sent them to him. For my birthday that year, he bought me a Writer’s Digest magazine and Stephen King’s autobiography “On Writing”. It was much later that I finally wrote my first full-length romance novel Coming Home which ended up being the first of my Possum Creek series. I self-published it in 2012. But I didn’t really answer the question, did I? Honestly, I think I’ve always wanted to be a writer since I was a little girl. I love books and I had a huge imagination so what else would I do?

What genres do you like to read?  Are these the same genres you write in?

I like to read everything but science fiction. From romance to thrillers to horror to political suspense and even non-fiction books on politics and spirituality. I primarily write paranormal and contemporary romance, but I have been plugging away at a political thriller under the pen name of Ann Nevada…after being given the idea from my best friend. I hope to have it finished up in the near future.

Is your book for adults, young adults or children?

None of my books are for children. I would say my audience could be from 16 to 100 and even some of my more erotic novels such as my Vampire Blood Trilogy would have to be limited to adults.

What is your current release or project?

I’m working on Ruby’s Revenge right now. It is a women’s fiction and if I had to classify it, the best way I could would be “think Lifetime Movie material”.

Tell us about the key characters

Ruby Page is the main character. She is an intelligent girl with dreams as big as the horizon. There are several secondary characters that are protagonists to her, some of which are not presently named as it is a work in progress and I’m a punster…so anything could happen. But she will have a lover who follows her through the entire book.

What is your blurb or synopsis of the book?

Ruby was born on the wrong side of the tracks but that doesn’t mean she is going to stay there. When tragedy strikes her on more than one occasion, she rises from the ashes and exacts her revenge. A tale of heartbreak, murder, assault, blackmail and revenge which ultimately gets Ruby right where she wants to be.

Share an excerpt.

She stood looking out across the vast land as the sun set in a riot of oranges, purples and golds. From her place in front of the wide picture windows, she wrapped her arms around herself in an attempt to stave off the chill of the room. These rolling acres would be covered with snow soon, but she would be safe, secure and warm in the comfort of this home she had done so many things to attain.

Her dark hair cascaded down her back and around her shoulders with just the slightest tint of red and her lithe body was clad in a pair of well-worn jeans tucked into the expensive leather boots she had purchased in Mexico. Her flannel shirt fit her like it was made especially for her, and the conch belt imbedded with turquoise was cinched around her slim waist.

Footsteps fell heavily across the floor behind her and she smiled as she saw his reflection in the glass. Tall, dark and muscular, he had just come in from feeding the horses in the stables. She could smell the sweet fragrance of hay mingling with traces of his cologne.

When he put his hands on her shoulders, she leaned back against him and let the warmth of his body penetrate her clothing. He was all the heat she needed now.

“I can’t believe you haven’t started a fire. It’s mighty nippy in here.” His lips brushed the top of her head. “Would you like me to do it?”

She nodded. “Yes. Please. That would be nice. I sent Maria home for the night so we could have the house to ourselves.”

“After the past few days, I would welcome the peace and quiet.”

The last few days. For her they had been endless. Between Guy’s friends and family sniffing around for anything they could find to discredit her and the attorneys finally reading the will to the dismay of all who had been seated around the dining room table, she was glad to see them all go. And as soon as they were out of her hair, she had gone up in the master bath and drawn a tub full of hot water and sunk beneath the surface, allowing the fragrant bubbles to wash away all the dirt she felt had accumulated over her body for the last fourteen years. Then she had called him. Told him it was over, and he could come to her. Told him the private plane would be at the airstrip outside town. He had politely declined, instead opting to drive his own truck across three states to be with her.

It had given her time to clear out all Gus’s belongings. She had burned them. Then she set Maria on the task of cleaning the ranch from top to bottom so that not one iota of a reminder of his dreadful cigar smoke or what she referred to as his old rich man’s cologne lingered anywhere in the house. She had tossed the flowers leftover from the funeral and called the florist to have them bring fresh ones. Bright ones. Ones that reminded her of the days when she had been young and innocent running barefoot in the meadow behind the broken-down old trailer that she had once called home. Before she had been used and abused and everything had been taken from her.

Do you have a favorite scene?

Not yet.

What advice would you give a beginner?

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do it. You can. You just have to want it bad enough. Read. Read. And read some more. Understand the market. Then craft your stories around what you like to read as well as what others like to read. Do it for yourself and not for the money and you will never be disappointed.

JOSEPH

By Callie Carmen

To celebrate the publication day of Joseph I decided that it would be fun to share chapter one with you. In this Risking Love series you meet the unique, beautiful, intelligent women who truly support each other. Share in their challenges and joy as they meet their soul mates. This is Violet’s story. These novels can be read as a stand-alone or as part of the series. I hope you enjoy the attraction between Joseph and Violet as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Book Blurb

JOSEPH (Risking Love Series book three):  

Violet had experienced a lot of loss in her life. She wasn’t sure if she could ever trust love again. That was until she fell for Joseph. The problem was he belonged to her friend, Bella. Could Violet risk her friendship over a man? If she did break that friendship, would it destroy her relationship with her closest girlfriends forever?

If Violet risked her heart again and had a night of uncontrolled passion, would he abandon her like the others she had loved? Or would Joseph be her salvation?


EXCERPT
Chapter One

Violet

I stood on the landing off to the side of the altar as a bridesmaid for my best friend Jaq. I looked over the wedding guests, searching for that one special person I’d desired for over a year. In the second row, behind Jaq’s parents, I saw my friend Bella. Did I dare look to Bella’s left to see if her date, Joseph, had attended the wedding with her? The man I longed to hold, to cherish, and to love from this day forward? Oh, wait, that was Jaq’s line—shame on me.

There were two problems with what I wanted. He didn’t know I was crazy about him, and he belonged to Bella. Well, at least until after the wedding. The other bridesmaid, my friend Carlie, had told me earlier that Bella was breaking up with Joseph after the reception. For a moment I worried about ruining my relationship with Bella, but then I realized I had to follow my heart. It might be my last chance to find out if he had any interest in me. After today I’d probably never see the man again. That thought shot a stabbing pain right to my chest.

If I found the courage to approach Joseph after Bella dumped him, what would my friends think of me? After all, Bella was their friend too.

If at first, they were mad at me, it would be worth it because, deep in my heart, I knew Joseph was my soul mate. I’d never been surer of anything in my life. He’d lost both of his parents too. He would surely understand the loneliness and longing that overwhelm me at times.

Why should I give up the possibility of true love after I’d already lost so much in my lifetime? Didn’t I deserve some happiness?

Shiznit. I hated self-pity—it never got anyone anywhere good.

I turned my gaze to Bella’s left, just as Jaq and Patrick were about to say their vows. My breath caught and time stopped as I looked into Joseph’s eyes and saw him staring back at me. Why was this handsome man looking at me during the most important part of the ceremony? I froze. I couldn’t look away. I watched as his gaze lowered to my lips. It caused an involuntary response— my mouth opened, and I glided my tongue over my upper lip.

He leaned forward and wrapped both hands tightly around the pew in front of him.

My heart began to skip. Every. Other. Beat.

His eyes wandered to my breasts, which were now heaving from the deep breaths I had to take after unconsciously holding my breath for so long. I shifted the flowers from my right hand and placed my hand over my heart. When I saw that his knuckles were turning white from the intense grip on the pew, I darn near forgot where I was and almost went to him.

A hot blush rushed up my body, over my breasts and up my neck, and the warmth of it didn’t stop until it reached the top of my head. I looked back into Joseph’s eyes and the heat there was so overwhelming that I had to look away.

I tried to focus on the beautiful vows that Patrick was saying to Jaq, but all I could do was question what was going on with Joseph. He wasn’t acting like the sexually repressed man who Bella had repeatedly made clear hadn’t even tried to get to third base with her, even though they’d been dating for a little over a year. He was acting like there was no one else in the church except us.

Was it possible that he’d been waiting for me to be free of the muscle man that I’d been dating up until a couple of months ago? I hadn’t seen him since I broke it off with the guy, so this would have been his first opportunity.

At the back of the church, I stood in the receiving line greeting all of the guests. “Violet, sei troppo bella.” I had to smile at Bella because she was always throwing out Italian hand gestures or words and we’d gotten pretty good at knowing what most of them meant, and in this case, she thought I looked beautiful. “At the reception, us girls would have to be sure to make time to hit the dance floor together.”

“Thank you, and as always, Bella, you look beautiful, too. I can’t wait to hit the dance floor with you and our other friends. Especially since I don’t have a date for this event.”

She leaned in and whispered, “Then you’ll probably have a lot more fun than me.” She slightly nodded her head to the right toward Joseph.

I grimaced. Clearly, she was over him. Thank goodness for that. Maybe if something happened between Joseph and me, I’d be able to salvage my relationship with Bella. God, I hoped so. It was important I talk with her about my feelings for Joseph as soon as possible. I wanted to be honest and upfront with her and let her know I wanted to be with him. Hopefully, she’d approve, but if she didn’t I had to follow my heart. She hugged me, then moved on to the next person in line.

I turned back to greet the next guest, and it was Joseph. He pulled me in for a hug, kissed my cheek, then whispered in my ear, “Sorry to hear that you don’t have a date. The single men will be lining up to dance with you.” His breath on my neck caused me to shiver, and I felt my nipples change into tight pebbled points. “Please save a slow dance for me.”

A nod was all I could muster to confirm that I would indeed save him a dance. When I looked down, I saw that my nipples looked like two missiles ready to launch. How embarrassing.

His eyes had followed mine to my breasts, and the sound of his elongated hiss shot through my body, ending at my clit. We lifted our gazes, and our eyes met. I saw that his were dilated and flashes of light were shooting through them like sparklers that would be lit later tonight at the Memorial Day weekend fireworks celebration.

Thank heavens, he kissed my cheek again and quickly moved on down the line. After that encounter, the rest of the guests who came through the line were a blur because my mind had moved on to fantasies of being wrapped in his arms on the dance floor. I felt like a character in one of the romance novels I like to read.

Wedding party pictures were finally finished, and everyone was having a blast at the reception. Jaq and Patrick were on the dance floor with friends and family members. We had all formed a large circle and were having fun taking turns in the center showing off our dance moves.

When it was my turn, I moved my hips in such a sexy way that all the men started to make wolf calls. One spin around had me catching the smiling eyes of all my friends and their men. Then I looked into Joseph’s darkened eyes. I instantly became embarrassed and had to end my turn. I reached over and grabbed his hand and pulled him to the center for his crack at it.

As I started for the spot he had vacated he reached out and grabbed my hand from behind. With my hand in his, he moved me back to the center.

At his touch, my heart sped up to the fast rhythm of the song that was playing. He spun me once around and I nervously laughed, then he whispered, “Can you Swing?”

It had been a while, but I had been in the Swing Club in high school, so the answer was yes, but all I could manage was a nod.

“Good, then let’s have some fun.”

I placed my right hand on his broad shoulder, and he put his hand on my shoulder blade. It set my body on fire, and I thought I might pass out from the heat. He started with the simple rock step, triple step, triple step. Our rhythm was quickly in sync, so he began to use the kick ball change step. He turned me and even did the change behind the back type moves. Everyone started to clap along to the beat, and Bella, Jaq, and a few others yelled out, “Go, Violet.” The fluid movement of his hips and the pressure on my back had me wishing we were alone. After that fun display, everyone joined in and began dancing together.

In my peripheral vision, I saw Bella head toward Joseph. She took his hand, said a few words to him, then they left the dance floor. I turned in their direction, so I could see what happened next. She led him toward the back exit, and they disappeared outside. She must have decided that it was late enough in the evening to give him her break up news.

Poor Bella and Joseph. Wait—poor Joseph and Bella; that meant he might get in his car and leave and I might never see him again. That felt like a stab to my gut. I knew now he had some interest in me. The scene that had played out during the ceremony and the look in his eyes while I danced were proof that he at least lusted after me. That was a start. I hoped I could build on that if I were given a chance.

Moving a Little Heart

Moving a Little Heart
Little Hearts Book 1
by Breanna Hayse
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Baylor Parish needs a fresh start. After a disastrous, loveless marriage and an emotionally neglected childhood, she packs her things and moves to a new house out in the desert to get away from it all and enjoy her freedom.
Unfortunately, the occupants of the house next door have other ideas.
As soon as Hayden Paterson spots her moving in, he takes over. Next, she meets his stepbrother Jake, a cop who takes her safety far more seriously than Baylor does herself. The last thing Baylor wants is to get into another relationship, but the Paterson brothers rescue people for a living, and from the moment they clap eyes on her, they label the 23-year-old a ‘damsel in distress.’ Not only do they do everything in their power to protect, nurture and guide her, but they also enlist the help of their longtime friends and roommates; Terry and Matt.
Hayden and Jake come together to woo her to become a part of their unique family. To them, she is an adult little girl in need of the love, caring, nurturing – and yes, discipline – that only two “Daddies” can provide. To the independent Baylor, the assumption that she is in dire need of “Daddycare” seems not only strange, but completely opposed to the self-sufficiency she thought she wanted.
As well as her new Daddy Hayden and Daddy Jake, Baylor also finds herself in the care of “Uncle” Terry, a retired medic. He’s the burly, protective “house mom” and “doctor”, who is not only thrilled to have a little girl to care for, but likes to take control of Baylor’s health in ways that she preferred he did not. Then there is Matt, the resident “hippie”, who quickly becomes Baylor’s adoring “big brother” and helps her devise ways to get into mischief… which frequently lands her over the lap of one of her new daddies.
Basking in the loving embrace of these four men, Baylor’s inner child emerges, and under their sometimes stern, but always loving, care, she not only discovers her ability to play and laugh, she also begins to trust and feel loved. She also learns that a bottom bared for punishment can experience intense pleasure when used in “special” ways by one – or both – of her two men.
Despite her happiness, Baylor continues to struggle with allowing herself to fully submit. Is this lifestyle, the one of a Little girl with two Daddies, an Uncle and a Big Brother, right for her? Will she be able to leave behind her loveless, uncaring past and allow her heart to be moved to permanently reside within the arms and home of these very special men?
This #1 Best Seller is geared towards those readers who enjoy realistic age-play/BDSM, menage and a loving, healthy family life of a house full of alpha males. If discipline/sensual spanking, anal, and medical play aren’t your ‘cup of tea,’ then you haven’t read a book like this!

Loving a Little Heart
Little Hearts Book 2
She’s got two gorgeous men, and a serious craving for chocolate…
In this, the sequel to Breanna Hayse’s best-selling ‘Moving A Little Heart’, Baylor’s back—with double the trouble. Feisty but vulnerable Baylor Parish is pregnant with twins, which means her two daddies; stepbrothers Hayden and Jake; her Uncle Terry, and her big brother Matt are even more loving and protective of their girl than usual.
About to realize their lifelong dreams of fatherhood, Jake and Hayden decide to make their family official before the babies are born, and soon a double wedding is on the horizon for the Paterson household. A unique, polyamorous dynamic, however, calls for a very unique wedding—something Baylor is only too glad to embrace. After all, she was married before, and that traditional ceremony ended up having disastrous consequences.
Pregnancy is a time for growth in more ways than one, and Baylor is worried that her dynamics with Hayden and Jake will change now that they’re going to become parents. Can she be a mother and still explore her Little side with her two daddies? How will her changing body and high risk pregnancy affect their BDSM routine? And what will happen when a blast from her terrible past turns up on her doorstep?
Baylor discovers that two partners, two babies, an Uncle and a big brother simply result in twice as much everything; double the fun, double the worry, double the time over a strong lap, and twice as much love…
This story contains explicit content including spanking of adult women, ménage, and ageplay. If you enjoy this material, then grab a box of chocolate and let’s have some fun!

BDSM/AP lifestyler Breanna Hayse strives to give her readers truth and reality of the BDSM/Age-Play/Total Power and Erotic Exchange lifestyle.
Who am I?
I’m a native Californian gone ‘wild’, and had the opportunity to travel the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique inspiration for my books and offer realistic plots and relatable characters.
In 2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving. Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.
My first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time, I’ve devoted my ‘spare’ time to writing, researching, community involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.
I was formally ‘dungeon trained’ as a Domme before discovering my submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled primarily from either personal experience or observation, including spending time in BDSM clubs as the safety/medical officer. My multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and give a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on ‘the real deal.’
I live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear), and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John can’t find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a Sexpert for kinkyliterature.com.

****
The long-awaited fishing trip in the cold waters of the Alaskan Gulf has arrived, and Jennie and Sam join the entire family on an adventure of self-discovery, laughter, love, and the uncovering of long-kept secrets and desires.
The girls’ penchant for mischief is contagious and Ton refuses to be excluded. No stubborn land walker will be spared, either—not even Sam’s grumpy Uncle Scott. With the orca’s assistance, the little Marine Biologist brings Jennie and her four Daddy Doms into the world beneath the waves- a world of the mermaid- a world where they come face-to-face with the beauty, danger, and horror belonging to the silent creatures of the deep.
But not everything is as it seems. A deadly enemy is hiding in plain sight—one whose single objective is to hurt and destroy everything the two Little girls hold dear.
Faces from the distant past return to tear Sam’s family to pieces, both on land and in the water, and a decision must be made- should she obey orders or trust the ocean to guide her? Separated from the pod by another sonic blast, she’s left with nowhere to turn. But then her fiancé, Richard, steps into the picture and proves his faith and trust by surrendering her, and himself, to the sea.
The moment has come for Sam to confront one of her biggest fears-
but fear is not an option.
Fear kills.

Smut writer Cass Ford began creating smoldering male protagonists when she was five years old and convinced her aunt that she had a hot and heavy kindergarten boyfriend. In grade school, she penned tales on her parents’ typewriter and by middle school sold her own love and gossip magazines to friends. As a preteen at sleepover camp, Cass often told playful, steamy bedtime stories to her bunkmates.

After earning her Bachelor of Journalism degree and several TV/film certificates, Cass continued to hone her passion for storytelling as a development producer for broadcast news and unscripted television. Born and raised in Canada, she now resides in California.

Tell us about yourself.

Hi! I’m Cass, a sex-positive smut writer.

When did you know you wanted to be an author?

I’m not sure when it all clicked. I’ve been telling stories since before I could write. As soon as I could write, I put stories to paper. But I was probably a pre-teen or teen before I realized I wanted to be an author.

What genres do you like to read?  Are these the same genres you write in?

My favorite genre is actually historical fiction. I also love reading books from past decades, the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s… But I always write in present day. I can’t imagine all the research I’d have to put into writing a smutty period piece. I’d probably have to ask my grandmother for erotic slang from her day. Although she read Prince of Sin, that’s still a conversation I don’t want to have.

Is your book for adults, young adults or children?

Adults! My sixteen-year-old cousin wants to read it, but we’re having her wait until she’s eighteen.

What is your current release or project? 

Prince of Sin! It’s an erotic romance and my debut novel. It’s a love story between a gossip writer/vlogger and a porn star! Prince of Sin is available in eBook and paperback. And by the time this interview is released, the audiobook should be out too.

Tell us about the key characters.

My two protagonists are Morgan Sidney, a vlogger for a Hollywood gossip website who longs to find more meaningful work. And Chase Prince, the biggest porn star in town (a.k.a. the Prince of Sin). Morgan hates pornography for very personal reasons, so when she gets assigned the Prince of Sin’s breakup for work, she doesn’t expect to be so intrigued…

What is your blurb or synopsis of the book?

When savvy gossip vlogger Morgan Sidney gets assigned the breakup of porn’s most illustrious couple, she strikes a deal with her boss—if she scores an exclusive, she’ll get promoted. So when the famous and flirtatious Prince of Sin offers to fulfill her three wildest sex fantasies, Morgan must decide whether she’ll keep things professional or surrender and explore her sensual side.

As someone who despises the media, why is Chase Prince spending time with a reporter? Clearly, he’s intrigued. But can a scorched sinner—and the biggest smut star around—let a fierce civilian enter his domain?

Prince of Sin takes readers beyond Tinseltown’s glossy Hollywood Hills to Silicone Valley—for a behind-the-scenes look at a sometimes bleak, always risqué world.

Share an excerpt.

Acknowledging the room, Morgan found numerous colleagues staring. Who could blame their intrigue as the Prince of Sin stood by her cubicle, attempting to flirt? To avoid a dramatic scene, Morgan clasped his bicep, which literally bulged, so she opted for his forearm and guided him toward the conference room.

“Who’s Barbie Blue?” he asked.

“My pseudonym,” she whispered. Barbie was her deceased paternal grandmother, the resilient single mother who’d raised her father. And blue was simply her favorite color. “I don’t need my respected family to learn I’m covering the seediest biz on earth.”

Chase furrowed his brow as Morgan pulled him inside and shut a solid wooden door. “Don’t you have someplace to be?” she asked. “Teenagers lined up to sit on your face?”

Her sass made his dick twinge. Attempting to ignore it, he skipped to the point. “Your fact checker called my agent. Could you not use that one Viola Emperor quote? The one I said off record?”

“Funny,” she stated. “I specified that everything was on record.”

Determined to negotiate, he attempted an adorable, pouty baby face. “Please. I beg, I plead.”

“Oh, all right!” Morgan agreed facetiously, eyes bright.

Reading her perky, exaggerated expression, he asked, “Really?”

“No,” she chortled.

His pout deepened.

“Ech. Do girls actually fall for that?” She pinched his cheek condescendingly. “Darling, you’re cute as a button. But we’re done here.” As she grabbed the doorknob, he tried to stop her by placing a firm, strong hand over hers. Morgan paused with a shiver and gnawed her lower lip. Chase noticed her nibbling and grinned, delighting in her reaction to his touch. She blinked rapidly and whipped her hand free.

“I could lose my job,” Chase begged.

“Oh no! The Prince of Sin will lose his loyal following of horny adolescent girls,” Morgan mocked. “That quote makes you sound sharp.”

“Sounding sharp isn’t something I care about.”

“It’s not?”

“I care about remaining employed,” he explained. “And that quote puts my career at stake.”

“My career’s at stake too,” she said. “My boss is a dick. And I deserve a promotion.”

His dick twitched again. Her drive excited him, confusingly because he also couldn’t stand her.

“My idiot fact checker shouldn’t have mentioned that clip. Stupid interns.”

Chase clasped her shoulder. “That sounds stressful, Morgan.”

Inhaling deeply, she breathed in his refreshingly sudsy scent. Her name flowed from his mouth like honey dripping from a spoon, sugary and inviting, though not sweet enough to pull the best quote.

He massaged her neck from behind. “It must be stressful for a smart, sexy career woman to deal with idiot interns and a dickhead boss.”

“Yes, it is.” Morgan unwound as his sturdy thumb expertly loosened a shoulder blade knot. “I don’t understand how these morons get promoted and I—” She inhaled his spearmint toothpaste with a touch of whiskey and wondered if the booze was remnants from a fresh morning pick-me-up or a wild night out. Spotting his hand on her shoulder, she bit her lip. A tiny, curious part of her considered succumbing to his intoxicating spell and expert fingers. But her sensibilities prevailed. She harrumphed hotly and scowled.

Chase threw his arms back defensively but refused to step away. “I’m innocent,” he feigned.

“Until proven guilty,” she suggested.

He inched closer, backing her into the door. “I’ll make you a deal.”

“You have nothing I desire.”

“Not even sex in public?” he answered, planting his hands on either side of her head. “That seems like something you desperately desire.”

She bit her lip again.

“And your colleagues are right outside.” His face inched closer, like an erotically charged magnet. “I’d gladly explore your top three fantasies.”

“Top three?” Morgan hollered boisterously. “What are you, a genie?”

“Only if you’ll rub my magic lamp,” he said with a wink.

She wanted to huff and sneer with a bitchy side-eye while cackling in his face. But her treacherous clit craved attention. It took every ounce of willpower not to nibble his full lower lip just an inch away. Determined, she ducked under his arm and moved aside. To refrain from literally swooning, she leaned on the conference table.

His prying eyes scanned her trim figure. “You should probably get back to those hundred things,” he said, twisting the doorknob. “Here’s my personal number.” Chase handed over a business card. “Maybe we can continue this sometime. Depending on what you decide to post, of course.”

He exited, leaving her to catch a shaky breath.

Do you have a favorite scene?

I haven’t been asked this yet, what a great question. Chapter 16, the Christmas party at Morgan’s parent’s house. Initially, I’d written this scene as more dramatic. But after sharing it with my writer’s group, everybody’s feedback was that it was a chance to really add some comedy. So I did and I’m so proud of how it turned out.

What advice would you give a beginner?

Success is half luck and half hard work—so work hard, but don’t beat yourself up over the setbacks.

Rule #1: Don’t fall in love. Rule #2…see rule #1…
Grace Williams doesn’t need a hero. She can take care of herself, thank you very much. Surviving foster care and becoming a respected scientist certainly taught her how.

And she has the perfect gorgeous, commitment-phobic donor in mind.
Liam McNamara doesn’t want a relationship. Being abandoned by his mother at a young age and his failed marriage cured him of any romantic notions he might’ve had. But when his best friend’s sexy older sister asks him for a favor, he can’t say no. And if he manages to give her a few–or a few hundred–orgasms in the process? All the better. It’s a winning proposition all the way around.
It’s not long before their best laid plans are blown out of the water by the last thing either of them expected to get out of the deal–genuine feelings. Maybe love isn’t such a losing proposition after all…
