Hello !

I've been working hard to capture that 70's vibe and fill my work-in-progress, THE CHEERLEADER with it. I set it in the 70's purposely because I think it was a uniquely special time.

Who knew so many other people these days would feel the same way?

To help get into the 70's mindset--besides stretching my memory back to those good-old-days--I've been listening to 70's music.

Those old songs take me back and remind me of the times and the mood of those days.

Here's my PLAYLIST to get in that Retro '70s mood!

SURPRISE EXCERPT!

Susie

He makes no comment and we resume walking together, turning left when we get outside, to walk the block and a half to my dorm in West Campus.

The air is cool and I almost make a comment, but it strikes me as too mundane to break the silence between us with talk about the weather. His silence is purposeful. If I say anything, it would have to be meaningful or I risk his disdain.

“Why don’t you want to see Liz anymore?”

He stops on a dime and turns to me. I stumble ahead a half step, not expecting his abrupt stop.

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“I… I’m sorry. You’re right. Whatever is going on between you and Liz is none of my business.”

“That’s true. Or it would be true if there were anything going on besides that we’re friends. I thought we covered this.”

I laugh. “Covered it?”

He doesn’t laugh, but he starts walking again and so do I. But as we get closer to my dorm, to where I room with Liz, my good friend who trusts me, my discomfort with walking with Bryan as if he’s the big bad wolf and has some kind of intentions, takes on paranoid proportions. I can’t leave this alone.

“You dated Liz, didn’t you?” I bite my lip as he stops again, this time slowly, as he turns his entire body to face me. We’re on the corner a few yards away from my dorm and he’s looking down at me and I’m thinking this is one of those times I should have taken my grandma’s advice not to ask any question you don’t want to know the answer to.

“What exactly are you trying to get at with all these questions about me an Liz?” His voice is low and a little gravelly and sends vibrations through me, an exciting sensation if I’m honest.

Looking up into his dark intense eyes, I clear my throat and move my attention to his chin and his chiseled jawline shaded with dark stubble. I barely stop myself from telling him he needs a shave, realizing it’s something my mom says to my dad.

“I’m sorry. But she’s a good friend of mine and I don’t want to… come between you—”

He barks a laugh. “You’re serious?”

I meet his eyes in spite of the sting of embarrassment in my cheeks, because I know how my words sounded, like I think he’s interested in me.

“It’s not that I think you’re interested in me… “ I trail off because I can’t tell him it’s because Liz is still interested in him—to put it mildly. That wouldn’t be right.

“Then what is it, Susie? Tell me.” He sounds like he’s toying with me, like he knows he has me trapped.

“You know exactly what I’m saying so why don’t you stop playing games?”

“I will if you will.”

My forehead creases because I’m truly puzzled. “I’m not playing games. I’m just trying to be a good friend to Susie. And this—” I wave my hands around and between us. “Makes me uncomfortable, like I’m doing something wrong and I don’t mean to.”

“Walking with me is doing something wrong?” His eyes look downright playful now and he’s unabashedly teasing me, purposely adding to my discomfort.

“Yes. Because she … still has feelings for you.”

“You’re forgetting it was her idea for me to walk you home.” I see a damned twitch in the corner of his mouth like he’s suppressing a laugh—he’s trying not to laugh at me.

“You’re an asshole.”

“Now we’re getting somewhere,” his rumbles, his voice scraping over my skin like it’s touching me, making me feel things. I shudder against the goose bumps, against the shiver of nerve endings sparking.

“You’re doing it again—teasing me to making me feel uncomfortable.”

“I’m incorrigible. Didn’t Liz tell you that? Did she not tell you why she still wants to sleep with me?”...

MMA Romance

Special Agent Rylee - Mimi Barbour

Rylee couldn’t believe her rotten luck…

Being chosen as one of the agents to play bodyguard to a spoiled billionaire while sailing on a Caribbean cruise depresses her... a lot. The dude – so important to the government that they’re willing to provide the best to protect him – won’t even know they’re in place. T

he big question – why her? She prefers work that matters, the dirty jobs, on the streets, in the trenches, and her boss knows it. Keeping Mr. Fancy Pants out of the clutches of a worshipping stalker, mercenaries and a man out to seek revenge for an old injustice just annoys her.

Not excited about his pending cruise, before boarding the ship, Jake Andrews sees an enticing woman on the pier and decides it might not be so bad after all. Becoming landlord to two stowaways – one being a tiny kitten – isn’t at all in his plans for this vacation either.

His goal is to finish his phone app for the Pentagon, have a good long rest to heal from recent stress, and take a break from being threatened, stalked, and attacked. But if he can spend some of the voyage romancing this chick, that might add enough spice to his days… and nights for the trip to prove eventful.

Surprise!

Eventful doesn’t even come close…
