It's always exciting to sit down and start a new book. There are times when the details take longer than the writing but every bit of it is just as important. And thrilling. Writing the "Revved and Ready" series is one of my favorite series. The stories are carefree and spontaneous and take me on a journey of fast-paced and non-stop fun. They are lighthearted without a lot of angst or emotionally heavy obstacles that keep the characters apart.
So when I decided to set them in my hometown of Belleville, Ontario, I felt it was a perfect location that would give them a bit more of a personal touch. I take pride in my city and enjoy the familiarity and comfort when writing the stories. Call it an author's prerogative and liberty to not wanting to be bogged down with too much research. *g*
And right now, readers can enjoy both stories for only 99 cents.
69 MUSTANG (Book 1) is currently FREE in anticipation of MUSTANG MADDY (Book 2) releasing this Wednesday, August 27!
Readers will find 69 MUSTANG for FREE at all major bookstores online.
However, MUSTANG MADDY is up for Pre-Order at Amazon & Smashwords -- but taking a bit longer at some other locations.
For all buy links:

Grey grinned and
adjusted the ladder he carried. “So sorry to hear the sad fate of the lettuce.
However, I wasn’t complimenting the greens in your garden.” He raked his gaze
over her where she knelt on the lawn.
Damn, she forgot
she’d wanted to work on her tan today, and had only dressed in a lime-green bikini
top and black jean shorts. The lusty warmth in his eyes pleased her. She sat
straight. “A girl has to take the time to work on her tan you know.”
He leaned the ladder
against the fence then laid his forearms along the top. “I agree, but I hope
you’ve put some screen on that delectable skin in the last hour.”
Embarrassed, heat
swept into her cheeks. Damn it, she hadn’t.
“I didn’t think so.”
He turned and strode the fence line and onto her side.
“It’s okay, Grey, I
can do it.” She grabbed the bottle of SPF 60 from among the small shovels and
rakes in her gardener’s basket. After wiping the bottle off with a cloth, she
lifted the lid.
Grey dropped on his
knees behind her. “Nonsense. What kind of neighbor would I be if I didn’t help
out? And you’re baking in this sun, babe. You should take a break after I apply
this, and come out when the sun goes down later.”
Maddy rolled her
eyes. He was a computer geek who liked to mess around overhauling old cars and motorcycles.
While she appreciated the work he did with the vehicles, and the physique he
couldn’t hide under dress shirts and pants he wore to work, she hated being
scolded. After all, who was the paramedic here? “I have a lot of weeding to do
still. And I plan to watch the Jays game later.”
He poured the white
lotion into his palm and chuckled. “You never cease to amaze me. A woman after
my own heart. That you love dirt, sports and hot rods makes my heart skip a
beat.”
Her own thudded hard.
Damn, she didn’t know if she’d ever get used to his honesty. He’d complimented
her a lot since they’d met and became friends. Always easy with sweet words and
thrilling flirtations. She basked in the glory of seeming beautiful and special
under a man’s watchful gaze. Not a lot of men appreciated her the way Grey did.
He really listened to her when she talked and the attention he constantly
showed her filled her with confidence.
The cold touch of
sunscreen across her shoulders startled her and pulled her from her thoughts.
She hissed out a breath.
“Your skin is
burning,” Grey murmured near her left ear. Tsking, he poured more into his palm
then spread it over her.
The chill of the
lotion as he smoothed it into her skin did little to cool her down. Not with
the scalding heat of his hands gliding over her, along her sides and down to
the waistband of her shorts. Her skin tingled warmed. She wanted to stretch
like a kitten getting massaged by its favorite owner. She fisted her hands in
her lap, dropping her head forward as he applied the cream to the back of her
neck.
“You’re a little
tense back here.” Grey commented, his voice rough but gentle near her ear.
“Mmm,” she couldn’t
gather anything else comprehensive to say. Mindless to his attention, she
wanted to sit like this for hours and let him pamper her. Of course, if she
remained under his masterful fingers, she’d need a cold shower. Her body
tingled, his touch twisting around every nerve inside her, each one sparking
hot.
“I think that should
do it. You’re protected from the sun for about an hour at least.”
Despite his words,
Grey’s touch never disappeared. He glided his fingers along her arms, then over
her shoulders and back, down to her hips.
Lord
have mercy. Heart thudding, Maddy glanced at him over her right
shoulder. “Thanks for taking care of me.”
His gaze locked on hers. Desire, power and heat stared back
at her. No one ever looked at her like that. She shuddered. Should she consider
her ego a bit out of whack if she thought he stared at her as if she were the
only woman in the world? As if he wanted to eat her alive?
Hope you enjoyed!
