The cards are dealt. Now let the game of passion begin…

Lydia Montgomery has lived the life of a trophy wife. Now she's a trophy widow, with a young daughter to support, longing for independence and purpose. The last thing she needs is another strong-willed man in her life. But Hunter's surprisingly sensual touch, an intoxicating mix of desire and tenderness, is making her reconsider.

From Amazon:

He pledged to protect his neighbor, in New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Eden's Shadow Agents: Guts and Glory miniseries

When Gabrielle Harper's gutsy investigative reporting attracted a serial killer, her new neighbor began keeping an eye on her. But Cooper Marshall was more than his chiseled frame suggested.

Gabrielle wasn't the sort to hole up in her Washington, D.C., walk-up, waiting to be the next victim. So when the time came, he'd throw her on the back of his motorcycle and ride with a vengeance to save her life. Until then, he'd watch and wait, and try not to get carried away with attraction to the girl next door….

Rocky Mountain Angel #Books

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that are eagerly anticipated.

Book: Rocky Mountain Angel

By Vivian Arend

Release Date: November 20, 2012

Publisher: Samhain Publishing


From Amazon:

Sometimes even Angels must learn to fly…

Six Pack Ranch, Book 4

Allison Parker needs a convincing excuse to come home to Rocky Mountain House. A hopelessly romantic reason that won’t let her mother suspect the truth—that Allison has discovered Mom is keeping a terrible secret from the family.

Gabe Coleman is struggling with two of the roughest parts of ranching: dealing with his bull-headed mule of a father, and making enough to pay the bills. When his old friend Allison offers to help him develop his ideas for organic ranching—in trade for pretending to be her fiancé—it sounds like the perfect set-up.

Yet the deception leads them in an unexpected direction, where their shared daily hells are erased by nights of heavenly distraction. It’s not supposed to be real, but once the gates are opened, there’s no denying they’ve found in each other a little bit of Paradise.

To break free of the past and face the future, though, will take more than temporary pleasures. It’ll take putting their hearts on the line.

Warning: Tortured hero with a guardian-angel complex, grief-stricken heroine willing to sacrifice everything for family. Break out the tissues, this trip to the ranch is a heartbreaker on the way to the HEA.

Teaser Tuesday Snippets

Welcome to Teaser Tuesday. Each Tuesday, I will post a snippet of a book from my personal bookshelf. Some books may be fiction. Some may be on the craft of writing. Here's today's selection.

"Lesson one...wait, lesson one is over. That was how to kiss. And we know you're good at that. A plus."

Jasmin drew her lips into what she hoped was a stern frown. If kissing was lesson one, then lesson two...Her body went cold. "I am not taking lessons--"

"Lesson two is how to accept a gift--and a compliment--graciously. Would you like a bite of my sandwich, gorgeous?" He pushed his plate toward her.

Here's the Blurb:

SHY NO MORE WORKSHEET NAME: JASMINE BURNS

Image the person who intimidates you. Naked.
I'm intimidated by Josh Toby, the world's biggest movie star. Who has to imagine him naked? I've seen it on a forty-foot screen.

Breathe deep.
As Josh's costume designer, I'm suppose to dress him. And undress him. Oh, and my psychic sister, Amy, who has never been wrong, named him my One True Love. Breathing is completely out of the question.

Ask for what you want.
What I want is for him to stop being so...irresistible! I want not to fall in love with a man who's stalked by the paparazzi and whose washboard abs could cut glass.

Believe you can do what needs to be done. Then do it.

So, all I have to do is believe I can resist Josh Toby. Resist those deep violet eyes, those strong, muscular arms, and the way he makes me feel like the only woman on earth. Couldn't be easier. Yeah right...

Do you have this on your bookshelf?
