… Is coming out in 2 weeks! How have I forgotten to pimp myself out on this one?
Prologue
If you asked TJ Wilder to choose between a warm autumn night in the Sierras or a warm woman, he knew that most people would put money on him taking the woman.
And while that might have been true in his wild, unchecked youth, tonight they’d have been wrong.
Not that he didn’t love women. He did. Short or tall. Willowy or curvy. Sweet or hot-as-hell sexy– actually, make that especially hot-as-hell sexy. Over the years he’d loved plenty.
But he loved the Sierras, too. And while it was true that the tall, rugged, remote mountain peaks could be deadly dangerous to both life and limb, the mountains couldn’t break a man’s soul.
At least not without permission.
And TJ no longer let anything break him. He didn’t let anything break him or get to him, period. He was cool, calm, and prepared, always. Cam and Stone had long ago accepted this, that as the oldest brother, TJ just knew things, like which direction to go on the mountain, whether on skis or a bike, or in the helicopter. He knew which of their outdoor expedition company clients would be a pain-in-the-ass, and he could sense trouble a mile away.
Usually.
And then, as he walked through Moody’s Bar And Grill after a quick dinner with Cam and Stone, feeling full and surprisingly content for the moment, something plowed into his chest with the force of a cyclone.
Not something. Someone.
Harley Stephens. AKA the one source of trouble that he’d never managed to avoid.
Absorbing the impact, he managed to keep them both from tumbling to the floor, and as his brain registered how warm and soft she felt in his arms, she lifted her face, the scent of her filling his head. That’s when something else hit him too, the same inexplicable sense that he always got with her, the deja vu feeling that he’d been here before. Not in the doorway of Moody’s with the fiery Indian summer sun setting behind her and the sound of the dinner crowd behind him, loud and rowdy . . . but having her practically wrapped around him.
So feel free to make my day and go forth and preorder from the bookstore of your choice!
In the meantime, in Jill’s World, I’m currently juggling a visiting Mother-In-Law, hormonal teenagers and an Alpha Man who is suddenly ready for a new puppy. I swear, if one more person in my household so much as looks at me cross-eyed or asks me for something before my book is due, I will NOT be held responsible for my actions.
You’ll all come visit me in prison, won’t you? You’ll send cookies?

I got a gift card to Barnes and Noble for my birthday last month and it has been burning a hole in my pocket. Trying to wait for just the right book to come out. Think that I just figured out what it is I am going to get!! I love this series!!

You will not go to prision. It’s that called Justifiable “Something”?
Posted on March 9th, 2010 at 6:49 amD says:
I can not wait for this one. I agree with tennismom you could totally claim justifiable homicide or there is always the classic temporary insanity(my personl fav)
Posted on March 9th, 2010 at 7:05 amI’ll go stock up on cookies just in case!!!
Natasha R says:

Oh Jill! No jury in their right mind would convict you! *big hugs* I can’t wait for the new book. I preordered mine the day after Boxing Day

I couldn’t put the first two down until they were completely read. Now, I’ve been waiting for #3. I preordered as soon as I knew I could!!! Love your books….every one of them!

I can’t wait for Instant Temptation! Loved the other two!
A new puppy is always good for our entertainment here at the blog. As for the chaos it will create in your life, well…
Posted on March 9th, 2010 at 8:49 amStephanie P says:
I will deffantly drive across the country just to visit you in prison.
Posted on March 9th, 2010 at 9:15 amKathrin says:
Yummie! I know why I pre-ordered it. I can’t wait to get my hands on it to read the – sadly – last book about the Wilder brothers…
Posted on March 9th, 2010 at 10:02 amTammy says:
I have been looking forward to TJ’s story since the first Wilder brother book! My copy is already preordered, can’t wait. I would gladly send you cookies during Girl Scout Cookie Time!! At least you would have peace to write more great stories.
Posted on March 9th, 2010 at 10:19 amDonna M says:
You can’t possibly be put in prison for being pushed too far!!!
A new puppy…
I am so excited that Instant Temptation is finally going to be in my hands! The first two books were so good.
I’m sorry this is the last of those yummy Wilder brothers but you probably have something else in the wings for us to look forward to.

I still want to know who the model is for this book! Love those eyes! mmmmmm.
Let’s think positive a moment, Jill. Maybe your guard in jail will be a woman who has her own set of hormonal teenagers and an Alpah Man and she is more than happy to sit with you, discuss books and eat cookies that she has freshly baked just for you since you are her favorite author. I’m sure many of us would apply for the job if you like even if we don’t have the training required. Think they have volunteer guards?

Not to upset you, but I won’t preorder. I like to buy it from the neighborhood Barnes and Noble because it encourages them to always stock your books if people are coming in to buy them. Can’t wait!!
Posted on March 9th, 2010 at 4:37 pmStacy S says:
Can’t wait to read it! Will send lots of cookies.

Are you already there for killing your guy the other day over the registration? o_O
Cookies. Nail files. Liquor. Hey, I hear hair spray is a big deal…

I am a high school student in Japan. I read your book first.
Posted on March 13th, 2010 at 6:56 amAre reading this, “The Troble with Paradise”
Very interesting, ended two days to read!
I want to tell you a lot more things, it does not work with poor English.I also want to buy your book！
JL says:
I pre-ordered Instant Temptation several weeks ago, and nearly did a giddy dance when I got the shipment notification from Amazon several days before I was expecting it. The book arrived Tuesday, and I had to NOT open the box until I’d gotten all my work done, because a) the people in my company (including me) want to get paid, and b) I knew if I even thought about cracking open the cover, all I’d do is read, and that would be bad.
So I waited until I was done on Tuesday night, giddily opened the box, unwrapped the book, and told my husband I was going to bed. I plowed through half of it before I decided I’d better get some sleep.
It was great! Loved it!
