New Cover Alert (warning – have a cold shower handy)
January 18, 2008 | Filed under: Stuff

Coming to a store near you this October. I’ve already shared the first page of my novella in this collection but it bears repeating. :wigglebrow:
Excerpt:
For two months, Maggie Bell walked by him every day on her way out of the office, and every day she took in that tall, leanly muscled body, those incredibly well-fitted Levi’s hanging low on his hips thanks to his tool belt, and forgot everything else just to take it all in.
Take him in.
As the guy in charge of retro-earthquake fitting her building, he usually carried a roll of architectural plans in one hand and a radio in his other as he dealt with his men, looking confident — not to mention smoking hot — and every day she thought the same thing.
Yum.
P.S. In case you are the impatient sort, you can buy either of my current releases here.
P.S.S. UPDATE on yesterday’s contest: Winners are Darlene and Helene. Congrats! Email me with several book choices from my backlist, and don’t forget to give me your snail mail!!!

That’s a niiiiice cover. Very niiiiiice.
*sigh* Do we really have to wait until October? Really? I guess I need to go and do some re-reading. Hmmm, perhaps Her Sexiest Mistake is in order.

Where can I find a tool belt like that? :rotfl:
Posted on January 18th, 2008 at 2:34 pmCelise says:
I’ll be sure to put this one on my list. I really enjoyed Strong and Sexy. How cool would it be to be a zoologist? Looking forward to the next one. I’m also going to be a judge the Golden Quill, a contest held by our local RWA Chapter, Desert Rose. I’ll have up until the end of March to read 10 romance books. I’m looking forward to it.

P.S. I LOVE CATS, TOO! We have a Tabby, too, and she doesn’t like to chew on my stuff, thank goodness, but she likes to keep me company sometimes.

Ooh. Very nice. The excerpt sounds intriguing, too.

Congratulations Darlene and Helene! Any book y’all choose will be fantastic! *g*
Thanks for the “heat” on a cold day here in the South, Jill! Are you sure we have to wait until October? That’s too far away!

Brandy, sorry for the wait, lol. But I do have two Harlequin Blazes out this summer, firefighter heroes, connected stories. Flashpoint, out in July. Flashback, out in August.
