Welcome to the New Year! It's Tuesday! I hope you're all keeping warm and toasty. I'm tucked up in the mountains surrounded by sparkling white snow and baby it's cold outside!
Book news! I'm almost ready to kick Rock Candy Kisses to my editor. Stubbornly I want to go over it one more time. I really enjoyed hanging out with Annie. For those of you who have read the 3:AM Kisses series, she's Bryson and Holt's sister. Annie is profoundly deaf so this story has been near and dear to me from the beginning since we struggle with various stages of hearing loss in my family. I hope you'll embrace her story and even love it!
Rock Candy Kisses (3:AM Kisses #5) Release date 2-14-15 or sooner!

“Are you going to let me
kiss you?” he says the words slowly, and I have to laugh because I realize he
desperately wanted me to understand them.
I shake my head.
“Why not?” He winces,
genuinely perplexed. I’m pretty sure Blake Daniels isn’t too familiar with the
word no.
I pull back and dive into
my phone just trying to get my bearings.
Because I hardly know you. You’re a
perfect stranger, remember? I try to ignore the fact this perfect stranger
has his arm wrapped around my shoulder.
He motions for my phone and I slip it into his hand. You drove here with me—alone. Blake holds back the grin blooming on his face as he shows me the screen. If anything I’ve amused him.
I never said I was smart.
“You’re smart.” Blake runs
his hand through my hair before typing into my phone again. You want it to be
special—with the right person—memorable.
Which romance taught you that? I ask trying desperately not to flirt. But I'm flirting and I don't care how desperate it comes across.
“This one.” He tucks his
fingers to his heart. “I want that for you, too.”
Have a great rest of the week!
The Dragon and the Rose
Happy reading!
