Are you reading? After all the craziness my life has been for the past month, listening to a book in the car was amazing! We drove home to Fort Worth last weekend (more on that later) and on the way back I told hubby, “I’m going to listen to a book.” He gave me the knowing look and a small smile.

Being immersed into another life, even if it was a dark mafia one, was what I needed. It quieted my thoughts and worries. It gave me an alternate story other than the thousands I had imagined for my own life (and you know they were all depressing).

That’s what books are for me. An escape from the crazy thoughts running amok in my brain. I ended up downloading the ebook and finishing it. Now I can’t wait to pick up my next one!

✨The Build Up to finally giving in…. ✨ It’s the resistance to admit & the fear of rejection. It’s human nature to protect ourselves. It’s this “in-between” that has a choke hold on us. That keeps us coming back to read another romance. It’s all the what if possibilities!

Do you love an emotional romance? The simmering sexual tension they refuse to admit? Or do you want an insta where they are ‘F🦆 It’, we’re going for it?

👙National Bikini Day (it was yesterday)👙 So why not give you a snippet of a bikini scene in Reclaiming You!

… the continuation of the snippet from above:

Another notification pops up. He liked the picture I posted last night… If Mateo wants to see me that badly, I’ll give him something to look at. I move the side table to the foot of my lounger and place my bag on top, propping my phone as best I can.
A waiter stops by my chair as I’m trying to get my phone to stay in the right position. “Here, let me.” He holds his hand out for my phone.
“Are you sure?” My cheeks heat up but I can’t back out now that he saw me struggling. At least I can blame the redness of my cheeks on the sun instead of the embarrassment.
“Of course.” His smile is sweet.
I hand him my phone and sit back into the lounger placing my sunglasses back on. I close my eyes and relax. I bend one knee up just a tad and point my toes to give my legs some oomph. I move one arm and drape it back over the back of the lounger which arches my back and pushes my breasts out. Mateo’s face pops in my mind and a pang of desire hits my core. I clench involuntarily, wishing his hand was running up my sun kissed leg. Dragging his hand by the tie strings of my bottoms at my hip. Teasing me by pulling it just a tad before his fingers glide over my ribcage to find my tiny triangle top. All he would need to do is—
“Here you go, miss.” The waiter’s voice startles me out of the erotic daydream I just fell into.
Flustered, as if he could’ve known what I was thinking I squeak out, “Thank you.” I grab my phone from his extended hand.

A romance for the ones who still wonder “what if?” For the ones who want to believe in second chances and soul mates.

💙💜Last weekend was an incredible weekend full of excitement, learning, and friendship! Attending my first ever big book convention was humbling and educational. It took me a few days after I got home to be able to process it all.

First, I “knew” what to expect. I’ve seen all the posts of book cons. But seeing it and experiencing it are 2 very different things. I thought I had prepared myself enough, but not quite. I’m glad I began doing small book fairs to prepare me though. The biggest difference between the 2… visibility. Being a “no name” author in a sea of amazing, well established, fan based authors is intimidating.

But the readers who did stop by really made my day. Especially those who not only asked about my books, but we somehow veered off topic and just chatted books in general. Those amazing ladies and few gentlemen eased my anxiety about “not belonging”.

I have so much to say about this incredible adventure, more than a caption can hold, so if you want the in-depth version, sign up for my newsletter. It goes out tomorrow!
