Blurb
A lust
story. Only meant to be temporary.
A love
story. Always meant to be permanent.
A hate
story. Never meant to be.
This...
is all three.
Nicole
It started
in an elevator in California. Our lust story.
You know,
the kind you know going in is a bad idea, but... the nagging desire and all. A
few drinks in the hotel bar across from our workplace. A few nights in a luxury
suite twenty floors above. What could it hurt?
Innocent
fun would be had by all, and I’d walk away a well-satisfied woman. Ready to
continue my life of brokenhearted loneliness.
Grady
It started
on a ridge in Afghanistan. Our love story.
You know,
the kind you felt in your soul at first sight, but... the tragic circumstances
and all. Intentionally casual conversation over Irish whiskey. Intentionally
casual sex over the course of two weeks. How could I refuse?
Guilt-ridden
bonds would be built, and I’d confess my darkest sin. Beg for forgiveness five
years overdue and clean my conscience along with it.
It started
with the cold hard truth. Our hate story.
You know,
the kind that could end a surprisingly beautiful beginning.
Excerpt
Grady was on his second round of whiskey when it happened.
His rose-colored glasses were dislodged by a hot blonde—and
yes, Nolan was right, he did always look on the bright side. Force of habit to
offset his profession. And yes, Nolan was right that she smelled like peaches.
Ripe and juicy, with a dollop of sugary sweet cream on top.
But back to the problem at hand.
Nicole’s surprise offer of no-strings sex—nothing more,
nothing less, thank you kind sir.
As it turns out, theirs wasn’t gonna be a story they could
tell the grandkids.
It could be a story for an erotic website.
Perhaps a smutty romance novel. For sure, a fantasy you conjured up when you
lost your internet connection during a solo session.
But a downright illegal story for the faint of heart,
minor-aged children, and his ninety-year-old grandma.
She didn’t want a casual, exploratory relationship.
She didn’t want commitment.
She wanted another C-word entirely. A sexually explicit
C-word, and yeah, he was good at that. And sure, he desperately wanted to do
that to her, among other sexually explicit things. And no, she’d not outright
asked him for cunnilingus, because had she, he would’ve choked on his Jameson
and required the Heimlich Maneuver. But she’d made her parameters known.
Now to be clear, this wasn’t a bad thing.
It just changed up his timeline a bit.

Author Bio
My love for
steamy romance began when I was in junior high. A friend and I noticed a
dumpster of discarded paperbacks behind our local dime store. Covers missing
and each book split down the spine, I scanned the pages for any love or lust
words—and curse words, too. From that point on, I scoured the public library
and the paperback racks at every store, reading anything labeled romance. I said
a tearfully grateful goodbye to Judy Bloom, and Jackie Collins began ruling my
world.
I live with
my high school sweetheart husband in the desert Southwest. Awesome in the
winter, not so much in the summer.
My life
long goals are to think before I speak, smile more and swear less, and actually
weigh what my driver's license states I do.
