Ok, I know that from the outside looking in-- this is just another "Hey, go get your pre-order...book release next week and all" emails; but from the inside (here, inside my brain) this is an extra exciting "go get your pre-order" email because the book is actually finished now!

So I can be extra excited to tell you to get the book because I know what happens now.

I found a little NSFW peek to share below so scroll down...

"Sorry."


Natalie's body goes stiff, and she tries to wiggle away from me, but I hold her close.


"Don't be sorry, sweetheart. You've been through a lot today. If you need me, I'm here."


I'm here, uncomfortable as all hell, with a raging hard-on that I'm trying to keep the soft woman beside me from discovering, but if Natalie needs to be held, I'll hold her all damn night.


I've stared down dozens of demons in my time; had to learn how to sleep through gunfire and nightmares if I wanted to live another day.


This sweet girl shouldn't have to learn to do that. She should be able to sleep through the night knowing she's safe-- knowing I'm here to make sure she stays that way.


"Why though? Why are you taking care of me, Clinton? You barely even know me."


At that moment we both move our heads to face each other in the dim light of the bedroom.


"Because the minute I saw you, I knew there was no way in hell you belonged to that man who was looking for you today. You're mine, Natalie."


Natalie gasps at my bold statement but she doesn't protest. If anything, I'd say I just gave her permission she needed to help herself to what she really needs.


Soft hands glide over my stomach, making my muscles jump at the feel of her touch as her fingers move down my abdomen and then lower.


It's been a long time since I've felt a woman's hands on me and one thing I already know, is that this woman will be the last one that ever touches me. I want to savor these first touches.


Rolling Natalie onto her back, I press my lips to hers while mustering the will to pull her hand from its journey down my body.


Her mouth is soft under mine, and she yields to me so perfectly. Natalie's sweet lips part and invite my tongue to tangle with hers. I kiss her till she's breathless, till she breaks away from me just so she can catch a breath.


She's gotten into bed wearing nothing but her panties and the t-shirt I gave her.


Now her perfect, thick thighs part to take me between them and she angles her hips so the heat of her core presses right up against the underside of my rigid shaft.


Feeling that heat, and the dampness there, pulls a deep groan out my chest.


"Say it again." Natalie's voice is all breathy whisper as she rocks against my hardness and arches her back to press her beautiful tits to my chest.


"Mine." I growl, in response.

Have you checked out the small town romance giveaway yet?

I don't have much to share from the "in the life of the author" files... I made my deadline here on the Oregon coast and now it's time to move on to a new campsite.

This is a difficult time in the nomad life-- at least for me, it is-- because it's freezing cold out here! But back home in Fallon? Those temperatures are way too hot still!

So I'm hoping to find my baby-bear campsite for the next few weeks-- the one that's juuuust right.

I'll let you know if I find it.

Most of my time here, the sky has been cloudy and overcast, so I was pretty excited the other night when I went outside and saw not only clear skies, but the Milky Way lined up so well with the old Coastguard tower across the beach. (That's what the sign says it is, anyway.)
