Would You Be Able to Save a Life? #SixSunday

   Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday: Where writers share six sentences from their published or unpublished books.

   In this snippet from my debut romantic suspense, BENEATH THE SURFACE, Brooke has just witnessed her best friend’s boat explode. What would you do? How would you react?

  On shaking legs, she ran to the end of the pier and snatched the emergency life preserver ring. She headed to the edge of the pier amidst a shower of tiny red embers and whispered a heartfelt prayer.

   Please be alive.

   “Whoa. Let’s take a skiff.” Running footsteps vibrated the dock and she turned as a gray-bearded fisherman grabbed her elbow and pulled her away

from the ledge.

Journey to the Bottom of the Ocean #SixSunday

Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday: Where writers share six sentences from their published or unpublished books.

Thanks for stopping by! Today, I'm sharing six sentences from my debut romantic suspense novel, BENEATH THE SURFACE. Dive into the ocean with Brooke, who is an amputee. She hasn't been scuba diving since she lost most of her leg two years ago. 

She's about to find out how much she's missed it.

Three minutes later, Brooke found herself surrounded by bubbles as she bled off some of the air in her buoyancy compensator and descended. She shut her eyes and the water caressed her skin. Its coolness wrapped around her and settled her nerves.

    She missed being in the water more than she’d realized. The fact that she couldn’t flutter kick— she’d end up going sideways—wasn’t a problem. She quickly discovered that pressing her thighs together and doing a butterfly kick worked just as well as fluttering and wasn’t nearly as awkward as she’d expected.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Pizza at Mom's Restaurant for Mother's Day #SixSunday

Happy Mother's Day!
Six Sentence Sunday: Where writers share six sentences from their published or unpublished books.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I thought I’d share a scene from Beneath the Surface, my debut romance, where Brooke and Garrett go to his mom’s pizzeria.

Hope this makes you hungry! (And guess what I told my family I want for Mother's Day dinner?)

Brooke glanced around the restaurant and spotted pizza in various forms—everything from standard pepperoni to what looked like macaroni and cheese on a pizza. As Garrett placed a soda in front of her, the only thing stronger than her hunger pangs was the heat of his hand when he touched her arm.

She blinked and caught her breath. Garrett epitomized masculinity. Everything he did—driving the Amigo, riding a motorcycle, building his own deck. Yet he couldn’t have looked sexier than he did right now as he carried two bowls of salad.

Shhh! Top Secret Excerpt #SixSunday

Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday: Where writers share six sentences from their published or unpublished books.

Keely and Logan, CLOSE TO NOTHING



To celebrate the completion of my newest romantic suspense manuscript (sent it off to Beta readers this week...), here's six lines from CLOSE TO NOTHING. The first scene with the hero and heroine together. Never before seen by the public! Hope you enjoy!

    Keely froze, resisting the urge to whip her head around. She didn’t have to look up to see who stood behind her. It had been three years, but she’d recognize his voice anywhere. Logan North.

    With a racing heart, she turned slowly, determined not to show him how his presence affected her. The memory of their last kiss and his subsequent departure flashed through her mind.
