I didn’t know I’d sold the Thai rights to HOT AS HELL, but I did! May, a fabulous reader who keeps me updated on Thai covers, sent me this one this morning:

One of my favorite places is Bainbridge Island, Washington. It’s a ferry ride from Seattle. I’d move there in a second. Well, I would if someone in my household had a job there (no one does) and my hubby would agree (not likely since he’s a big fan of sunshine). Last time we were there we spent a few days in NYT bestseller Susan Wiggs’ guest cottage. It was amazing.
Here’s a photo of me with Susan. That’s her backyard, by the way. I’m envious every time I look at this:

I somehow missed the snippet topic for today, so I’m going with an excerpt from my upcoming release, IMPULSIVE. Take one dedicated attorney, add in a wild child woman in a short skirt and you get fireworks.
Eric locked the door. “Do you really plan to tell your sister everything about us?”The poor guy sounded a little nervous. He hadn’t reached the throw-up-on-the-floor level yet, but Katie could tell by the grim line of his mouth that he was getting close. “I do believe you’re sweating.”
His eyes bulged. “That’s a yes?”
It was time to take pity on the guy. He did leave work to bring her coffee, after all. Not that she believed for one second that he didn’t have an ulterior motive. She’d been dealing with men long enough to know there was a mad rush of purpose behind every move. Sex, food, laundry, whatever they wanted, they made a calculated play to get it.
She set her cup down and walked over to Eric. The back of her hand brushed against his cheek. When he leaned in and kissed her knuckles, a shot of desire whipped through her. “Don’t worry. I won’t share even an abbreviated version.”
He blew out a deep breath. “That’s probably a good idea.”
She wondered if he knew how transparent he was. He might be able to control a courtroom, but he needed some work on it in his private life. She had seen the desperation in him at Deana’s wedding, like his skin didn’t fit right, causing him to shift around. She saw it again now.
“You here for more sex, counselor?”
His hands found her upper arms and fingers snuck under the short sleeves of her shirt to caress her skin. “You always so blunt?”
“I’ve learned that most people talk around what they want when it’s easier just to get to the point.” To prove her theory, she reached for his tie, thinking to loosen it a bit.
“No sex.”
Her hands stopped in mid-tug. “Really?”
“Didn’t even bring a condom. In fact, specifically didn’t bring one so as to avoid temptation.” His mouth said no, but his hands had skimmed down her back and pulled her tighter against his body.
“You do know there are other ways to have sex, right?”
His eyebrows dipped down in what she guessed was his fake serious look. “I’ve read about those, yes.”
“Did any of those include pictures of what I could do with my mouth?”
He dropped his forehead on top of hers. “Lord, woman. I’m trying to be noble here.”
“I never asked you to.”
“So, you’re trying to kill me or at least my good intentions?”
She gave him a quick kiss on the lips but pulled back when he tried to take it deeper. “I just like seeing you squirm in that fancy suit of yours.”

I bet you’re thinking I forgot to pick a winner for my monthly blog contest. Well, yeah, that’s exactly what happened. I wrote a check this morning and realized it was the 2nd. Guess it’s a good thing I had that little plumbing disaster this morning after all. I know it worked out great for the plumber. Not so much for my checkbook.
Anyway…
The winner of the August contest is Mary G (comment #1 from the August 22nd post). Congratulations!!!
