Monday Update - July 15, 2013

Hello everyone. I hope you're all having a good Monday. Mine is crazy busy, but good so far. As you might have noticed, I didn't post an update last week. That was because I was in New Jersey spending time with my husband's family and soaking in a little much needed downtime.

Before I left, I turned in the manuscript to my publisher for Finding Anna, Book 4. Yes, its FINALLY written. LOL. It feels like it took forever, and it ended up at just over 146,000 words. I'm sure some will be cut during the editing process, but it will still be by far my longest book to date. We're pushing for Spring 2014 for this on to release, so mark your calendars. You won't want to miss the ending of Stephan and Brianna's story!

Speaking of Stephan and Brianna's story, Truth, book 3 in the series, will be out in 10 days. Who is excited about that? I know I am.

Here is a little sneak peek of Truth (Finding Anna, Book 3) to wet your appetite.

“I think you are being a very naughty girl, Brianna.”
I froze. Was I in trouble? Did I really do something wrong? I felt my anxiety building.
He leaned forward and kissed me with the slightest brush of his mouth, slipping out his tongue to slide gently along the seam of my lips. It was in complete contrast to what he’d just said. 
“Sir?”
“You’re not in trouble, sweetheart. I’m not talking about that kind of naughty.”
I took a deep breath and tried to relax. 
“Okay.”
“Brianna, I want to tell you something. Are you listening?” he asked as he moved his mouth from my lips and trailed down my jaw to my neck. I tilted my head back instinctively, asking for more. His mouth felt amazing, and it was hard to think straight.
“Yes,” I gasped.
“I will never, ever, use sex against you as a punishment. Sex is meant to be fun and pleasurable. I would never do anything to make you feel otherwise, do you understand?”
I nodded.
“I want to hear you say it, Brianna,” he said, sinking his teeth with the slightest pressure into the skin just above my collarbone.
“I understand . . . Sir.” I gripped the tops of his arms, feeling the need to hold on to something even though I was pressed against the wall barely able to move.
“Good girl. Now I want you to close your eyes and relax. You’ve had your fun exploring my body, and now I’m going to have fun exploring yours.”
