#TeaserTuesday ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE Excerpt

Happy Teaser Tuesday! Today I’ve got an excerpt for you from ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE, the next novella in the Take a Chance series.

This was a tough novella for me to write since I knew when I started that it might not have the kind of happily-ever-after that some readers might want. But as the story developed, I knew that these two characters were not only meant to be together, but to have something wonderful and unexpected happen at the end of the story! It made me tear up a bit and smile, and I hope you’ll feel the same way.

Without further ado . . . ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE.

Blurb

She wasnâ€™t the kind of woman who wore fancy dresses or did one night
stands. . .

Bridget Sullivan preferred her Army uniform and work boots to elegant evening gowns. Getting all done up for some fancy Memorial Day gala wasnâ€™t in her plans, but itâ€™s hard to resist the thought of seeing handsome retired Navy Captain Mark Smith again. It also means spending time with the cadre of ex-military friends who have made her return to civilian life a little easier to handle. But when Mark presses for more, will she break her rigid rules for one sexy night?

The only thing he likes better than a woman in uniform is seeing her out of it . . .

Especially if itâ€™s sexy Staff Sergeant Bridget Sullivan. Since meeting Bridget a month earlier, Mark Smith has been attracted to the gorgeous woman who seems intent on hiding her beauty and her courage. Bridgetâ€™s determination to make it in a usually male world, from her choice of the Army to her current construction job, intrigues Mark. When Bridget sheds her muddy jeans and sneakers for sexy high heels and a slit-to-there dress, Mark is more than willing to help her explore her new feminine side. But can one night of pleasure lead to more?

#WriteWed Inspiration for ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE

In Stay the Night you meet both Mark Smith and Bridget Sullivan, the hero and heroine of One Night of Pleasure (now available for pre-order).

This is part of the Take a Chance series, so I wanted to do a story about two people who stepped out of their comfort zones and reached for something that they didn’t think was within their grasp.

In Bridget’s case, it’s about allowing herself to explore her feminine side and a possible relationship with retired Navy Captain Mark Smith. Bridget doesn’t normally throw caution to the wind and do one night stands, but she’s tired of being alone and if she’s not getting the signals wrong, Mark is interested.

Mark Smith seems to have the perfect life. He’s sexy and successful. He has a thriving company and a lovely beachside home. A home that’s perfect for a family, but Mark thinks that a wife and family are something he can never have. But if he were to dream, it would be a woman like Bridget at his side. Strong, courageous and beautiful Bridget.

Here’s the official blurb for the book:

She wasnâ€™t the kind of woman who wore fancy dresses or did one night
stands. . .

The only thing he likes better than a woman in uniform is seeing her out of it . . .

I hope you’ll take a moment to check out One Night of Pleasure. It’s available for pre-order at the following retailers:

#ManCandyMonday Rafe from STAY THE NIGHT

I have to confess that I really love Rafe from STAY THE NIGHT and since many of you don’t do Facebook, you’ll have missed him during last week’s #ManWars so I’m sharing him with you today.

What I love about Rafe is that he’s a big strong Navy Seal and seemingly invincible and yet inside, he’s so vulnerable and so in love, but battling it out of fear of being rejected. He feels as if he’s been left behind in the five years that he’s been at war while his wife has become someone whom he barely recognizes.

I also loved tackling a story where the romance is about two people who are already married. Let’s face it. Marriages have ups and downs and you can fall in love all over again sometimes.

You’ll see more of Rafe and his wife Elena in ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE that I hope to have out for you in mid-February. That is if I can get past post-holiday blues and work issues. I’ve been outlining the story and hashing out some language with my daughter. She liked what she heard, so I hope that’s a good thing.

In the meantime, I hope you like sexy Navy Seal Rafe.

Happy #ManCandyMonday

Today’s #ManCandy is a little bit workout inspiration. Let’s all do a little twist and work out that midsection. Turn to the right and then to the left. That’s it stretch it now and I don’t just mean your eyeballs! LOL!

Hope you all have a great day! Also, asking a little favor. I’ve donated proceeds of sales in the past to Hope for the Warriors and the Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. Since all of the stories in the TAKE A CHANCE erotic romance series feature military heroes, I will donate ALL MY PROCEEDS from sales of ONE LAST NIGHT from Oct. 27 to Nov 3 to a nationally recognized organization that helps our wounded military men and women!

I hope you will think about helping me out by signing up for my Thunderclap for this project! I promise you will not get spammed with more e-mails once you sign up. You are just agreeing to share that one message on whatever social media platform you choose. Thank you!

#WriteWed What Inspires a Series?

Since I’m busing working on ONE SPECIAL NIGHT, the follow-up to JUST ONE NIGHT, you may wonder what inspires a series like the Take a Chance series.

For me, it’s the secondary characters. Oftentimes when I start, I don’t really know which of the secondary characters will call to me the most, but then BAM! 🙂 I fall in love with one of them and know that I have to explore their story.

That’s what happened with Tommy, Nickie’s brother and Jase’s best friend, from JUST ONE NIGHT.

I saw a really good guy who definitely needed to find the right woman. I knew from JUST ONE NIGHT that Tommy was honorable and lots of fun. I knew he would have what it would take to help someone heal their wounds and find happiness.

I’m almost done with ONE SPECIAL NIGHT and I hope you’ll fall in love with Tommy the way I did and the way the heroine, Navy Corpsman Jasmine Reyes, does by the end of the story! ONE SPECIAL NIGHT will be available in late July.
