Baby, Don’t Lose My Number is now available at Samhain, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Never press the “ignore” button on love…
Fated, Book 2
In these uncertain times, Mia Skinner’s Blackberry is her lifeline to independence…and a twenty-four/seven chain to her overbearing boss. When she loses it on a girls’ night out, it’s a disaster with pink slip written all over it—until she takes a chance and calls her number. And ends up talking to Mr. Sexiest-Voice-Alive.
The moment Jacob Miller lays eyes on the phone’s beautiful owner, a bolt of lust makes him want to make a sexy mess of her tidy outfit and perfectly straight hair. Which is a good sign. It means he’s almost fully recovered from a near-debilitating construction accident. Perhaps a little horizontal healing will get him back on his feet for good.
As their passion burns bright and hot, a funny thing happens. Mia’s ignoring her phone—and Jake’s the one itching to get back to work. But he’s building a plan that’ll let her hang up on her increasingly creepy boss for good. If Mia’s willing to meet him in the middle.
I’m having a contest over at the Smutketeers blog – giving away a copy of Under My Umbrella (first novella in the Fated series) to one lucky commenter! The contest will close Wednesday night so go check it out!

I’m excited…the second novella in the Fated series is coming out in less than two weeks. Crap, which means Christmas is getting closer too! Am I ready? Sort of! Are you ready? I hope you’re getting close!
Here’s the cover (love it! – Angie Waters is awesome):

And here’s a never before seen excerpt! (slightly adult so WARNING!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But he was a patient man. He’d gone this long without a woman. He could go a little longer. Mia would be worth it.
“I want to see you again,” he blurted the moment she stopped by her car. No finesse, no charm, just words spilling out of him like he had no control.
“I would like that.” She shuffled her feet, drawing his attention to the high-heeled sandals she wore and her sexy red toenails. “I, um, well maybe you would be interested in going with me tomorrow? To a barbecue my boss is hosting at his house?”
Jake stood straighter. That sounded serious. And she wouldn’t look him in the eye. What was up with that? “You want to introduce me to Larry?” From everything he’d figured about Larry, he wasn’t much of a fan.
“Well, uh, this is so awkward.” She lifted her chin, her gaze meeting his. “I have a proposition to make you.”
He cocked a brow. “A proposition? Now this sounds interesting.”
“Nothing dirty.” She slapped lightly at his shoulder, the glancing contact sending a bolt of heat straight through him. “I need you to pretend to be my steady boyfriend, like we’ve been going out for months. Just for the afternoon at Larry’s. What do you think?”
“I think.” He paused, his mind coming up with all sorts of ideas, all of them wicked. “I think if you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend then we need to get in some practice first.”
Her brows lowered and she frowned. “Practice? What do you mean?”
“I mean I haven’t even kissed you yet.” Feeling bold, he snatched her hand in his and yanked her close. She fell against him, her hands braced against his chest, her sweet little body molded against his. “Don’t you think we should make sure we’re compatible?”
“I think we’re plenty compatible,” she murmured, her gaze locked on his mouth. As if she couldn’t think of anything else but kissing him.
“Yeah, but it’s best we make sure.” Her gaze met his, wide and so blue and for a moment he lost himself in her eyes. Shaking himself from his Mia-induced trance, he dipped his head. Settled his mouth on hers.
He felt the zing of electricity, the instant connectedness the moment their mouths touched. Her lips parted, and he slipped his tongue inside, tasting her, reveling in her. His head spun, his cock twitched and he settled his hands on her waist. Gripped her there for fear he’d let his hands wander too far and piss her off.
The very last thing he wanted to do was piss this woman off. He liked her too much.
They kissed for minutes, for hours, he wasn’t sure how long. All he knew was he didn’t want it to end. He broke away from her tempting lips to kiss her neck, earning a full body shiver from her and she wound her arms around his neck. Gripped his hair with her fingers.
She liked that. He’d have to remember that for later.
No doubt there would definitely be a later.
Finally, she shoved at his shoulders, as if she needed a little space. Her breath came rapidly, her cheeks were flushed and her mouth was so swollen he could only stare at it. Wished he was still kissing her.
“I think—I think we’re definitely compatible,” she said a little breathlessly.
He silently agreed.

My holiday themed short story A Very Sexy Christmas is now available on Amazon – and it’s only 99 cents!
Dumped by her loser boyfriend and attacked by a wayward Christmas figurine, stressed out Claire is knocked unconscious one night while decorating her apartment. Next thing she knows she’s in bed with a gorgeous, sexy man–one who offers to fulfill her every sexual desire. And she’s not about to turn him down.
She wakes up the next morning to discover it was all a dream. Or was it? Disappointed, Claire decides to lose the Scrooge attitude and embrace her inner holiday spirit. And just maybe all her Christmas dreams will come true…
Note: This is a previously published title but has been revised since original publication.
In other holiday themed news, they’re already playing Christmas music on my local radio station (crazy). I’ve started Christmas shopping and the end is near, I can see it. Thanksgiving is next week and I’m not hosting it which means I’m not stressed out. Yay!
How’s your Monday going?
