Welcome to Tuesday Teasers!

Just a few simple rules.

1. Go to your blog and post an excerpt (Please limit your excerpt to no more than 100 words).
2. In the comments below, post a link to the excerpt on your blog.
 3. At the beginning of your comment, please list the title of the book, your author name, genre, and a buy link. (This will help readers find excerpts from the books that would be of most interest to them.) For example:

Crossing The Line (Daniels Brothers #3) by Sherri Hayes
Contemporary Romance
http://ph.thewriterscoffeeshop.com/books/detail/161

Excerpt:
Megan took another sip of her coffee, and then nodded. “I’ll keep her
downstairs once she wakes up so you can get some rest.”

“Thanks.”

He headed toward the stairs, but she stopped him. “And Paul?”

“Yes?”

This time the smile on her face wasn’t so sleepy and innocent. “Thanks
again for the coffee.”

Even with his desperate need for sleep, Paul couldn’t help but respond to
that twinkle in Megan’s eye. She knew what she was doing. He’d give her
that.



4.  Authors only 1 excerpt per week, please. 
5. At the end of your blog post, please include "Check out more Tuesday Teasers at http://sherri-hayes.blogspot.com/2014/08/welcome-to-tuesday-teasers-this-is.html."

Excerpt:
She set his messages on his desk, just to the right as she always did. Before she was able to retract her hand however, he stopped her. The gesture was innocent, just a light touch to halt her movement, but she could feel the heat of it seeping through her skin.
“Thank you, Elizabeth.”
She swallowed nervously. His hand felt warm and comforting while making the anxious feeling in the pit of her stomach explode. “You’re welcome,” she managed to say.
“Do you have a minute?” His hand didn’t leave her wrist.

“Y-yes. Sure.”

Excerpt:
Rounding the corner, they saw a man talking with Daniels. He appeared to be about her height, wearing a dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up fashionably and neatly pressed pants. He didn't look threatening, so they both holstered their guns and stepped into the room.

Before they made it more than a few feet, the new arrival noticed their entrance and was quickly racing toward them. Correction. He was racing toward her.

“Oh! This must be her,” he gushed.

Excerpt:
She was right where I thought she’d be, just outside the kitchen waiting for me as she had been yesterday. The difference today was that she was looking up at me and smiling. I dropped my keys on the table beside the door and went to her.

I circled my arms around her, bringing her close. I heard a small sigh escape her as my hands traveled up her back and into her hair. “How are you feeling?” I whispered before pulling back to look into her eyes.

“Better,” she said, looking just as relieved as I felt.

Just as he was ready to plate the eggs, he saw movement out of the corner of his eye. She was standing there in one of his T-shirts and a blanket wrapped around her.

It was only with great effort that he managed not to drop the eggs. Trying to distract himself he said, “I made breakfast. Hope you’re hungry.” When he looked up, she smiled and his heart slammed against his chest, making it difficult to breathe. If he thought she’d been nearly irresistible before . . .
