Best Man on Campus only $0.99 until Tuesday!
đź’žHello my fabulous reader friends đź’ž
I am!
Writing Bad Man on Campus has been hard work. Sometimes I give my characters such crazy-bad problems to work through that it takes a lot out of me to do it. This is the third book in a row with serious problems facing my hero and heroine. Maybe I should write a rom-com next! Lol!
In the meantime, I'm planning a few New Release celebrations. Check them out below because you're invited! đź’ž
ALSO: If you're not in Kindle Unlimited, this is your chance to get Best Man on Campus on sale. Enjoy Excerpt #5, the final excerpt I'm sharing exclusively with you from Bad Man on Campus below!
It's HOT 🔥 here this weekend--up to 90 steamy degrees. My fingers were sticking to the keyboard yesterday which made them rub against the keys and get sore. I had to stop writing early!
This morning I put baby powder on my fingertips so I could continue tapping away unimpeded.
✍ The writing show must go on! 💜

What Am I Reading? This week I'm listening to The Scoundrel in Her Bed by Lorraine Heath, another Regency Romance. Indulging myself two weeks in a row with reading outside my writing genre! (That shows you how traumatic the writing's been.)

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT #5
BAD MAN ON CAMPUS
a Second Chance College Hockey Romance
Glory
“It makes no sense," Phoebe says. "I don’t get it, how could Kace be so over you for three years that no one’s ever heard of you and then, boom, you show up on campus and it’s as if you’ve come back from the dead. Were you, like, in a coma or something for three years?”
I realize she’s dead serious about her question, so I bite down on the hysterical laugh, my head buzzing from the nip. Don’t say anything. Do not spill your guts to this woman no matter how desperate and innocent she seems. Kace is your first priority.
“No coma. You’re nuts.” I emit a small false chuckle of amusement, as if she’s being silly when she’s anything but. I can tell she cares about Kace, that she was hurt by the demise of their relationship and I truly feel for her.
“What happened, Glory? What makes Kace so guilty that he’d lie for you?”
“Nothing. He’s a good guy. Leave me alone, Phoebe. You know it’s none of your business. If Kace didn’t tell you, then I’m certainly not going to.”
“Then you are hiding something. Both of you.” She pauses and gives a look like she’s inspecting me for flaws. Well look away, girl, you’ll find plenty of them, but having a big mouth and telling secrets I shouldn’t tell isn’t one of them. I don’t betray the people I love. Not on purpose anyway. Poor Sky.
“You realize I’m a reporter, right?”
“For SPU’s broadcast channel,” I say. “You do sports, right?” My point makes her nostrils flare. A sore spot. Maybe she wants to do more.
“I’m a journalism major. I do all kinds of stories, including investigative reporting. I know how to find out about things. Before now, I respected Kace’s privacy about his past.” She stops talking, leaving her intentions hanging in the air around us.
My heart starts pounding, too fast. I wish I had a nip. I close my eyes. Do I really?Do I really believe a nip, or a whole truckload of nips are going to help me? Because so far, maybe they’re hurting me more. False confidence. Fuck.
“And now?” I say, my voice loud, my chin up. Bring it on.
“Now I think Kace is in trouble and I intend to help him.” She pauses again and I think she should change her major to drama. “Unlike you.” She spins away.
She should definitely be a drama major.
That’s the last calm thought I have before I feel the bottom fall out of my gut, spilling into the universe.

When she finally arrives, all she finds at the door is a drunk cowboy professing his undying love for her sister…only he isn’t the groom!
What’s a girl to do when she hears her sister coming down the sidewalk toward them?
She does the only thing she can think of… she uses her lips to silence him.
