Wow! It’s the one year
anniversary of Long Overdue’s release.
Throws confetti!
One year! I’ve been trying to
think back and recall exactly what I was doing a year ago and—honestly—I’m
coming up blank. LOL. Seriously, it’s all a blur. I had no idea what to expect, or what to do,
but I can tell you I’ve never been so excited in my whole life!
Most authors will tell you
they’ve been writing forever—like since they were practically in the womb. Same holds true for me. Well, not the womb. However, by seventh grade, my notebook and I
were inseparable. I can’t tell you how
many pages I filled up with really, really bad first person fan-fic. I wish I were kidding. :) It had been a real dream come true for me to
be published to say the least.
So what has happened this past
year? Well, I published another 1Night
Stand, Her Everything! I am working on (finishing) my first full-length
book now. Though, geez, no one’s added
an extra hour to the day so that’s slow going.
And, as always, I have been working on my writing skills and getting
stronger by the day (so says the lady herself!).
Now let’s talk about the stars
of the hour, Blake and Jill! (You mean
it’s not all about me? LOL.) I’ve always imagined Blake waiting until
their one year anniversary to ask Jill to marry him. Last May, I had predicted he whisk Jill off
to Hawaii and pop the question there.
But, I’d love to know what you think is the ideal question-popping
setting. At the top of the Eiffel
Tower? Having the question popped on the
jumbotron at a ballgame? A candlelit dinner?
Since I’m in the middle of a
New York winter, I still vote for Hawaii!
LOL.
Blurb:
Jill
Malone has been looking for love for all the wrong reasons. A reality check has
her signing up for a no-strings attached night to simply forget about forever
after. The last thing she expected was to know her blind date.
Blake
Anders doesn’t need help finding a date, but he’s tempted by 1Night Stand’s
reputation of arranging exactly what a person needs. And he needs more. Though
doubtful, he agrees to one night and hopes to discover his perfect
match. He didn’t count on Madame Eve reaching deep into his past to give
him a night with the woman he never forgot.
Fearing
another broken heart, Jill works to keep herself from becoming attached, but
Blake goes all in to convince her that he wants their long-overdue love to be
more than a one-night stand…
Excerpt:
“I think there’s been some sort
of mistake,” she managed.
“But, we’re here. And I don’t
think it’s a mistake.”
Of course, he’d be polite,
while wondering what happened to the size zero, with extra-large breasts, he
ordered. “I don’t know.” She shook her head and swore disappointment flashed
across his face. “I’ll be honest; I am not comfortable.”
“And let me be honest. I’m
looking forward to an evening with you.” Ooooh, smooth. Then again, she didn’t
expect less, given his tabloid reputation. Still, her legs felt a little less
stable.
She faced him. What really went
on in his head? “You don’t find it strange that you know me?”
His killer smile set off
butterflies in her belly and a warning bell in her mind. “No. In fact, it makes
sense.”
“Why is that?”
“Because I used to wonder about
you. A lot.”
Jill forgot to breathe. Forgot
almost everything. Did he say…?
“Didn’t you ever wonder about
me?”
Jill exhaled. “I’m taking the
Fifth.” His smile grew. She shook her head, recognizing dangerous territory.
“I’m still not sure.” Not sure she’d measured up. Not sure she’d survive with
her heart intact.
“Stay for a drink.”
She wavered at his low-voiced
offer. Dammit, he’d become even more handsome than she remembered.
