My Sexy Saturday- Midnight Secrets

Please enjoy the start of the one-night-stand Allison meant to have with Miguel... of course, there is always tomorrow for more of this sexy stuff. If you want to find out if Allison gives in to Miguel, you can grab Midnight Secrets here!

The words intoxicated her, or the wine finally started to work, making her relax against him. Were those the words she needed to hear? She took a deep breath, enjoyed the spicy scent of his cologne, and his arms holding her tight against him. Even the moon seemed a little brighter as it started coming up for the night.

She snuggled closer to him, allowing his hot breath to brush across her ear, sending shivers down her spine. Being with Miguel made her realize how much she’d missed the security that came with being with a man. If she’d known what she’d been missing, she might’ve dated sooner. But what if he caused this sensation to come over her and nobody else could? Nope, not Miguel. It couldn’t be him because that would mean this was more than she thought. No entanglements. Only fun. And that’s what she’d have.

Allison pulled back a tiny bit to look in his dark eyes. She moved her face forward to brush her lips gently against his. The simple kiss shot sparks through her body. Her lips parted and she tasted the tip of his tongue as it played just inside her mouth. Heat swirled around in her belly and traveled in both directions through her body, all the way down to the tips of her toes and up to her cheeks, making every part of her body long for him. Opening her mouth more provided the chance to take his tongue all the way in.

His hand reached under the back of her shirt to trace small circles over her skin with his warm fingers, then moved around her side to her stomach. “Do you want me to stop?”

“Oh, God no.”

She’d probably die from the yearning to be touched pulsating through her nipples, if he dared to stop. It had been so long since someone had come in contact with the sensitive skin and she wanted Miguel to do the touching. And sucking. Probably even some nibbling.

Jordan swam in the pool. His muscles tensed with each stroke slicing through the water. For moment she stood there mesmerized by the sight of him. Oh, he was so sexy.

Not wanting to get caught staring at him, she walked over to the pool steps and went down until the water barely reached her thighs. She took a place on the top step and opened her book while she held the gel pack with her other hand. She read the first sentence under the chapter one heading before her eyes turned back to Jordan, who was swimming the length of the pool. His taut back muscles were barely visible underneath the water, but the sight of him made her intimate areas grow hot anyway. The urge was so powerful she could barely sit still on the step.

“This is torture,” she whispered without meaning to. But it was. Watching the sexy man move smoothly through the water, with the droplets glistening on his tanned skin, and not being able to touch him tortured her. He looked up at her, then ducked his head back under the water.

She tried to ignore him coming closer to her. It worked for the most part until she felt his strong hands slide up her bare thighs. She squirmed away from him and pretended to be focused on her book.

“Your bikini looks great.”

Writing "The End"

I'm excited and motivated to finish the 3rd book in the Desert Secrets Series. There are only 3 scenes left to write before I hit that wonderful phrase, "The End!" Will I write those words today? I sure hope so but not counting on it. Sigh.

I do love what I'm writing right now though. When I tell you that my characters take me on a journey with them, I'm not lying. The heroine and hero are looking for a missing guy who may or may not have some information on the murder of a beloved citizen of Wilson. They do find him but is he dead or alive? I have no idea until I get to that scene.

Gotta go... there is some writing to do...

Camp Nanowrimo is Now Over!

It's over! I had such a roller coaster of a month that I'm surprised I wrote any words. I didn't meet the goal of 50k on Dangerous Desires, but I did write 15k words. I am proud of everyone single one of those 15k words too.

So what's next? I'm pushing Dangerous Desires to the side for now while I finish Lost and Found, Desert Secrets Book 3. After I write "The End" on that book, I will finish up Dangerous Desires.

My Sexy Saturday- sneak peak of Finding Home

Enjoy this unedited sneak peak of Finding Home, the 4th book in the Desert Secrets series!

She slowly pulled the door opened and listened for movement in her house. None. She took a step out and listened some more. Still nothing. Had he left? Part of her basked in relief that he probably wasn’t in her space anymore while she denied any of the disappointment trying to tango with her heart. No men. No relationship. And certainly not hot movie stars!  She shook her head as she made her way down the hall and into the kitchen. No, there wasn’t any room in her life for anyone like Zane Adler.

            After grabbing a bottled water from the fridge, she heard him bump into some furniture.

            “Don’t go,” he said from the living room. “I can’t stand the idea of not having you in my arms at night. Every night. Be with me. Now.” Those pleading words were like arrows to piercing her soul. Drawn to him, she kicked her heels off in the kitchen and tiptoed down the hallway. She wanted just a glimpse of him acting.

            His back was turned to her, his shoulders tense as his hands gripped his waist. She let her gaze fall onto his shaggy, dishwater-blond hair and then took in the sight of him. She twisted the cap as quiet as she could and took a sip of water as her eyes trailed down the length of him, resting longer on his broad shoulders and then his shapely ass. His baggy jeans hid his lower half but she figured that half of his body was just as toned as the revealed upper part. Desire boiled in the pit of her stomach and pooled between her legs, dampening her panties.

            Not seeing her behind him, he continued with his lines. “What? Don’t say that,” he said, his voice dropping him more as if he had a broken heart. “Don’t do this to me.”

            How was it possible to detest this man from the moment he walked into her front door, and now she was almost drooling over him? She shook her head again. This just didn’t make sense. “You’re a stupid woman, Bailey Roan,” she mumbled to herself.

            He must’ve heard her voice because he whirled around to face her. “Oh,” he said, “You startled me.”

Blocked!

I should've had Lost and Found (book 3 of the Desert Secrets series) finished by now. I'm about halfway done. So what is the hold up? I've been blocked when it came to this story. After checking my publishing schedule/plan, I panicked! Then I took a deep breath and thought about the main concept of the book and it hit me. I was forcing the story to go into a way it shouldn't be. I started the rewrites from the point it started going bad yesterday and I'm back on track. The words are flowing..

My Sexy Saturday- Lost and Found

Enjoy this sneak peek of the next book in the Desert Secrets Series! 

Lisa knocked softly on the door. A grumbled, “Come in,” greeted her. She wiped her sweaty palm on her slacks. She was going to be in a room with a man alone. She hadn’t been with any man since Lance divorced her and before then had been rare. She’d barely had time with her husband. Would she even remember how to be alone with one?

     She really didn’t have a choice now so she pushed the door open. Her gaze swept the room. Seth’s satchel he always seemed to have was open on the round table.  A discarded gum pack and its wrappers were on the nightstand next to the lamp. 

     The bathroom door opened far enough for Seth to stick his head through. His hair was wet from his shower. “Can you do me a favor?”

     “Sure.” Heat rushed to her cheeks. She shouldn’t be in here with him while he was naked. She nervously sat down in the chair by the table.

     Pointing at some folded pants on the bed, he said, “Hand me those pants right there?”

     No! She didn’t want to go any closer than this. She grabbed the pants from the bed and walked toward him. The closer she got, the more detail she noticed about him. The water dripped from his wet brown hair and made trails down his toned chest. Small freckles dotted both his cheeks and pecks. When had she been this attracted to a man? Not knowing the answer, she slightly shook her head. This guy smacked his gum and had intruded in her business more than once. She shouldn’t be attracted to him, be in his hotel room, or staring at his visible nakedness.

     “Here,” she said softly, holding the pants out for him to take.

     He chuckled. “Thanks.”

     She whirled around so he couldn’t see her heated cheeks. Had he been laughing at her?  Next time, she’d call first so she could wait for him in the car. She had no business in the room with him.

My Sexy Saturday- Confessions

What is sexy? Seduction. Here we have Chelsea trying her best to avoid the temptation between her and Jordan while he is trying to push things further. Grab a copy of Confessions here  and check out the other authors' blogs listed at the bottom!

You haven’t been around me for ten years.”

“But I still know you. Nothing you say can change that, so quit your lying and tell me what’s on your mind.”

She had to lie or she would end up upstairs naked underneath his bulky tanned body. “Nothing. I’m reading.”

“Put the book down.”

“Hold on. This is an interesting part,” she said. As if she had comprehended a single word she had read. She couldn’t even think straight with his hands kneading her flesh. She could feel them working their way up to the edge of her bikini bottoms.

“Come on,” he urged.

His fingers play with the hem of the bottoms. The more his hands explored her body, the more distracted she became. “Nope,” she replied with a shake of her head. Her eyes continued to stay on the page even though her mind was totally on him. If she looked up, she would turn to putty in his hands.

I'm Upset!

I hurried out of bed this morning with one thing on my mind... writing! With everyone still fast asleep, I made coffee, grabbed my laptop and started going through my files, looking for the one manuscript I wanted to work on... Lost and Found, Desert Secrets book 3. And then I noticed the date that I had started the story. Ready for this? January 1st of 2010! I've been working on this one single book off and on for 3 years. My readers have been waiting for this book for 3 years!  I know they have because I get emails. Sigh.

It's time to finish that book already...

If you want to get hooked on another series, try out Confessions. You can find it here. Midnight secrets is the 2nd book in the series.

Regarding That Scene: An Email from Lisa Palmer

Gasp! I received an email from Lisa Palmer, heroine from Lost and Found, Desert Secrets Book 3. Here is what she had to say to me: 

Dear Wendy, 

We haven't spent much quality time together lately, leaving me to think that you've forgotten some pertinent parts of the story. On thing is that scene. You must know what scene I'm talking about. Please say you do as I'm not one to kiss and tell. I'm talking about the part where Seth and I go out in the desert on the ATV. We stop for lunch and get caught up in a monsoon. In the scene, we only kiss. This is where you went wrong. By this point in the book, I'm no longer that timid divorcee but a woman full of passion. Seth Brite lights that fire deep in me that had been put out so long ago. Please redo this part and make the scene as hot as the desert in the summer time. 

Thanks a ton, 

Lisa Palmer

Not wanting to lose this chance with him, she wiped her sweaty palms down her pants before
putting her arms over his shoulders. Tingles of excitement raced throughout her body when Miguel
slid his arm around her waist and pulled her even closer to him, making her breasts press tight
against his chest. Her breath caught in her throat. Her body stiffened when his lips found the curve
of her neck as they swayed together over the grass, while the slow song filled the warm air with
sweet tunes. The evening would’ve been perfect if she hadn’t had to continuously push away the
panic that tried to make an appearance in her heart.

“We can stop if you aren’t sure about doing this,” he whispered against her ear, his hot breath
sending shivers through her.

“I want to.” Each part of her body screamed for more, in spite of the mix of emotions flooding through her by his embrace. Fear swirled through the arousal and desire to be with him. Maybe she should just end it with him right here. End the dance, end the date, and end any tomorrow that might’ve happened with Miguel. But she didn’t want him to let go of her.

“Then relax. I won’t hurt you.” He ran his fingers through her hair. “Not ever.”

Her stomach tightened as she repeated his words in her mind. He wouldn’t hurt her ever. The more she thought about what he’d said, the more she believed him. The words intoxicated her, or
the wine finally started to work, making her relax against him. Were those the words she needed
to hear? She took a deep breath, enjoyed the spicy scent of his cologne, and his arms holding her
tight against him. Even the moon seemed a little brighter as it started coming up for the night.

down her spine. Being with Miguel made her realize how much she’d missed the security that came

what if he caused this sensation to come over her and nobody else could? Nope, not Miguel. It
couldn’t be him because that would mean this was more than she thought. No entanglements. Only
fun. And that’s what she’d have.

Allison pulled back a tiny bit to look in his dark eyes. She moved her face forward to brush

Camp Nanowrimo Update!

Holy cow! Camp Nano is over. How did I do? I wrote 8k new words in the month of July. Not much for the average author, but I'm 8k words closer to finishing Lost and Found! The book was a project I had already started and had planned on finishing for Camp Nano. I've now reached about the 3/4s mark of the rough draft.

While you're waiting for this next book to come out, check out my newsletter subscription box to the left. I have a hidden Desert Secrets novel titled Secret Admirer included in my newsletter. This hidden book will never be available to purchase, so subscribe and you'll get to know Owen Brown and Clara while checking in with the rest of the characters in the series. You can also find the first two books (Confessions and Midnight Secrets) here: http://amzn.com/e/B008SA6TJK


Anyway, back to writing...

Wendy

Write at the Merge week 31

Thanks for stopping by! This is part of a scene I've added to my current WIP (work-in-progress) Lost and Found, Desert Secrets Book 3. I used the writing prompt on Write at the Merge week 31. 

When Lisa finally left Allison’s office, her shoulders sloped down as if twenty pound weights had been added to each one. She paused on the way to the exit when she found Bailey still at the table. This time Bailey had a large pink frosted cake, enough for two people at least, decorated with an upside down ice cream cone drizzled with chocolate. And Cara’s seat was empty.

Lisa stepped over to Bailey’s table. “Seriously?” Lisa asked, motioning toward the dessert.

Bailey nodded. “It’s the special. I think it might be Allison’s birthday or something, but I don’t care. This is delish.” She scooped a large bite onto her fork and held it toward Lisa. “Want a bite?”

Lisa shook her head vigorously. “A girl’s dead body is outside in the mud. How can you eat?”

Bailey shrugged, plopped the cake into her own mouth, and after swallowing, said, “Because I’m hungry. I’m also thirty years old, single, and bored, so I chose this instead of a decent meal.”

Taylor tugged on the hem of Lisa’s tanktop. When Lisa looked down at her daughter, Taylor asked, “Can I have a bite?”

Taylor rarely had treats in the sugar category, but everything was off today, so Lisa nodded. “If you like it, we’ll take one home with us.” Just like Bailey but for her own reasons, Lisa just might need some sugary sweet dessert today.

Taylor held the fork out in front of her until she finished her bite and then she licked the fork, getting a giggle from Bailey.

“You like it, huh?” Bailey asked.

With flushed cheeks, Lisa turned toward the counter. “I’ll grab you another fork. Sorry about that.” After ordering one of those million calorie cakes and snatching a new fork for Bailey, she went back to the table.

“Thanks. Why don’t you have a seat?” Bailey motioned toward the empty chair. “Grab another one for Taylor.” Her gaze scanned the full chairs around the bakery. None available. That was fine though. Lisa didn’t want to stay.

“I need to get going. You’ve been here awhile. How long are you going to hang out?”

Bailey took another bite of her cake and pointed the empty fork prongs in Lisa’s direction. “Until I get bored. You know, Lisa, I need some of my own excitement.”

Lisa nodded.

Camp Nano Update

This really should be titled Camp Hell-no update because when I look at my stats... that is exactly how I feel. If you are not sure what Camp Nanowrimo is... it is a "fun" program to get me writing. My goal is to write 50k words in the month of July. I was using this month to finish up the last books in my Desert Secrets Series. At this point I don't even know if I'll finish one of the books.

So here are my stats: 5,242 words and I have 15 days left of this program.

Here is the funny part of the stats:

Days Remaining

15

At This Rate You Will Finish On

I have been writing every night and some of these sentences are fantastic and I won't give up! 

2013 Book Releases

2013 is going to be a big year for book releases! Here is the line-up so far:

February 2013: Dangerous Flames, Mafia Hearts Book 1

March 2013: A Final Kiss

June 2013: Jesse's Girl

August 2013: Lost and Found, Desert Secrets Book 3


Sneak Peek at the Dangerous Flames blurb:

Gabrielle Medini will prevent her father’s death at all costs, even if it means kidnapping Mikolas Russo.

During Gabrielle’s teen year’s, she attended a private school in Italy. This is where she learns the meaning of Mafia, but believed crime families no longer existed. Now back in Las Vegas, where her family lives, she quickly learns that the Mafia still has a hand in controlling society and her father is the Don of the largest mob in the area.

Never one to take no for an answer, Gabrielle is determined to convince her father to trust her and allow her to join the Family. The opportunity presents itself when she learns of a hit being taken out on her father by one of his own men. The Mafia doesn’t seem so glamorous any more, especially when Gabrielle has reason to believe that the killing might be at the hand of her secret love, Mikolas Russo. 

Mikolas Russo is one hit away from becoming part of the Medini crime family. But is this what he really wants? Killing people for money is what he has been trained to do even though he’d give anything to trade the nightmares for sweet dreams of the forbidden Gabrielle. Thinking he has the chance to reveal his feelings to her, he arrives at her house to find her brandishing a loaded gun, ready to take control. 

Will the outcome fulfill her dream, or will Mikolas be the one to shatter them?
