But he feels so right...
Joyful holiday season my romance reading friends!
Finally, I'm in the full swing of the holiday season and finished writing all the 2021 books! This is my vacay from writing from now until Christmas! (Although I am cheating a little and working on the plot for I Want to Know What Love Is.)
The book where the hero is so wrong he's forbidden. Do you feel teased?

At SQ's House
My halls are now decked! The weekend in Nantucket inspired me. Though my house doesn't quite match the 'inside a snow globe' feel of that island, it might be mistaken for a lived-in version of a Hallmark Christmas movie set.
You get two pics today! One from the Nantucket Christmas Stroll weekend and one of my tree. I'd love to see pics of your decorations or holiday fun!
➜➜Send me pics of your decked halls or holiday excursion for a chance to
WIN a copy of Let It Snow, a holiday romance.
I'll include your pic in next week's newsletter!

I Want to Know What Love Is
Dylan
“Who are you waiting for?” Jasper asks, following my line of sight. I’m about to laugh it off and say no one, but the words disappear before I open my mouth.
Because the exact person I want to see, even if she’s the last person I expect because this is the last place she ought to be, appears in the door in all her superior splendor, tall and breathtaking and fucking bold as hell.
Coach Lake walks in looking like she owns the place, making the girls in the crowd fade away like she has a magic eraser in her wake. She’s dressed in white jeans, a ruby red tank top and matching spike sandals that she doesn’t need to enhance her long legs. She meets my eyes and heads straight in my direction as I watch her get hit on by three guys, all from the team.
“Will you look at that?” Jasper says. He sees her. Fuck, everyone sees her because she’s a fucking head-turner. “Damn you Dylan—you’ve been holding out.” I expect him to go into a tirade of teasing, so I cut him off.
“I have no idea what the fuck she’s doing here.” It’s true. I wish I knew what she’s doing here. If I were a crazy fool, I’d wish she were here to see me. But I’m not a fucking idiot. Though my dick didn’t get that message and I shift uncomfortably.
“Sure. Whatever you say.” Jasper laughs like a loon.
I stalk her with my eyes, holding myself back, my chest tightening along with my jeans while I watch her cut down each of my unfortunate teammates who ought to know better than to make whatever lewd juvenile propositions they’re making—not that they’re serious. Maybe half serious in spite of my warning earlier that she’s off limits. As if I should need to state the obvious.
But since she’s here tempting fate, maybe I ought to take the three knuckleheads aside to reaffirm the off-limits warning.
Or maybe I ought to ask her what the fuck she’s doing here at a student party and clue her in about how far off the reservation she is.
Maybe she wants to bust us for underage drinking, but if so, she’s off-base because no one lives here who isn’t drinking age and we check IDs at the door. For the most part.
She closes in on us and I brace myself, ignoring Jaspers grin and the nudge he gives me as if we’re in grade school. We may as well be at a kiddie party because compared to her, we’re juveniles. When she reaches us, she looks up at me, tilting her head only slightly and I enjoy the fact that I don’t have to bend to hear her.
“I heard you were having a party, Jonesy,” she says like she belongs, her voice cool, her eyes hot. She ignores Jasper. “You must have forgot to send my invitation.” I smirk and try not to read anything into her flirting, try to stay cool in spite of the uptick in my heartrate way past normal.
“What are you doing here, Coach?” I’m not playing her games. I know she didn’t come here for the party. My ego isn’t that huge. Unfortunately, my dick is getting there.

What is an L.A. rockstar doing in Big Bear on Christmas Eve?
A sudden, strong blizzard has submerged the mountain in snow, keeping my family home. Resigned to spending my first Christmas as a widow alone, I’m startled by someone pounding on my cabin door—a handsome man carrying a guitar and needing shelter.
