Conor tried to eat. Charisse’s hands had eased his headache but made the muscles across his shoulders tense up. He knew Becca was out in the audience, watching and waiting to pounce. Continue reading

Rumors say Conor killed his wife. Charisse’s eyes say she believes them. But Conor won’t give up on Charisse. She’s become too important to him.

When he forces Charisse to stay at his mansion in The Hamptons under contract, he realizes it’s his own guilt he must face, or he’ll never have the happily ever after he needs with Charisse.

Charisse knew her face flared in embarrassment, but Daddy turned away from her and stepped up to the podium. She gazed around the room as her father spoke, still gripping Conor’s hand. She saw several people who’d been at her last party and several she’d never met before. Becca and Daddy seemed to know each other, but she’d never met her. What a bitch. How could Conor be throwing a party for her? Continue reading

It was one of the Waldorf’s smaller banquet rooms, but every bit as elegant as all the rest. Each circular table had a thin, tall vase with balls of white hydrangeas erupting from the top. He’d have to find a vase like that for his home in the Hamptons. Cream-colored tablecloths stood out against the light blue carpeting. A chattering crowd surrounded a bar to their left. More subdued groups of 2 or 3 sipped cocktails and talked quietly over the sounds of jazz from a performer on a baby grand piano to their right. A long table with a microphone stood opposite the entrance, and the ship’s crew and their dates were already seated there, laughing together and ignoring everyone else. Continue reading

Conor stared out the window in the back of the sedan. The privacy glass was up, but he wasn’t taking advantage of it. He really needed to be at the banquet to show his appreciation of the captain despite the setup with Charisse and all of Roy’s interference. It wasn’t Armand’s fault his boss was crazy, and Armand and his crew definitely deserved recognition. Continue reading

Fantasy Art

I’ve mentioned that in May I’m switching genres a smidgen and publishing an Urban Fantasy Romance. Of course, my urban fantasy will be a little different because that’s the grown-ass way.

The difference starts with my cover. Urban fantasy books usually have photos:

17158976

Fantasy covers are often drawn:

The covers for the Through the Magic trilogy are all going to be drawn.

I love working with artists either photographers or painters or whatever. Masked Hearts and Thankful Hearts by Hang Le are my two favorite covers. But I always feel like fantasy stories require an intangible element that photos miss. Plus photos have the danger that another author has used them for a cover too. For the Through the Magic trilogy, I wanted covers unique to the characters and stories.

I immediately thought of Kevin Yancy who’s done some custom pictures for my Valentines I think three years now! He’s been working hard for a couple of months on the first cover Through the Painting. I thought I’d do a little exhibit of his previous works for me leading up to the cover reveal.

As you can see, he knows how to draw abs!

The Beautician and the Billionaire 6: Scene 8d

Charisse heard a knock, though she’d left her door open. “Come in,” she said from the bathroom. She fluffed her hair with her hands as she mentally criticized her reflection in the mirror. She’d gone with a long black silk gown. The neckline showed off the tops of her breasts without plunging down as the green gown had. There was no slit in the skirt, but it came up to mid-calf in the front and touched the floor in the back. Her gold nails and heels went well, and the necklace would be much more of a showpiece now.

Conor grabbed her arms and forced her to turn around and look at him. She tilted her chin up in defiance, and her eyes glared back at him beneath dark, thick lashes.

With forced control he said, “I don’t want you to just be mine for three weeks. I was hoping we’d get closer. I was hoping to get to know you better.” Continue reading
