Next Stop Red-Hot Romance: Her Forever Cowboy

Saturday, July 23, 2016

A rancher on a mission.
A dance teacher ready to settle a score.
Together they're flint and fuel.

HER FOREVER COWBOY
Love tastes sweeter a second time
but cuts twice as deep.
Stephen McLemore and Jillian Sinclair star in this paint-peeling romance.

He walked away when she was too young to claim.
She fueled his success and taught him to feel again.


Her Forever Cowboy
Book #1 Bad Boys Western Romance

    “No excuses,” he chided her. “A promise is a promise. And I’m a man of my word.”
      Surely, he didn’t mean. “But—” It happened so fast. “Let me go!” She tugged on his arm, lurching upright off his lap. Not easy with one good hand.
    He didn’t utter a word of warning—not unless a grunt counted. He flipped her over and delivered a red-hot rebuttal: two powerful spanks. Moisture filmed her eyes as she squirmed on his lap. He held her in place as her skin radiated and she felt his hand caress her bottom.
     “Now,” Stephen murmured. “Do I have your full attention?”
     “What are you after?” she asked.
     “Sugar, you know what I want.” He rubbed his hand slowly over her flaming rear-end. “What do we need? That might be the bigger issue. And it’s something only you can give.”
   Captivated by the erotic desire he built within her, Jillian closed her eyes, giving into his ability to command her body, mind, and soul. He was right. Why was she fighting? Trust me. His words. Opening her eyes, she met his penetrating stare and practically squeaked, “Trust?”
   “Yep and I’m only asking this once. Either you’re in or out, Sinclair. Do you trust me?”

Her Forever Cowboy
With a hundred years of ranching on the line, Stephen McLemore dove into his career as an explosives engineer. After achieving wealth, power, prestige, he's ready to make his move. He walked away from love, but he never forgot the girl of his dreams. At the time, Jillian Sinclair was 16, a hot mess, and hands-off. Eight years later, is it coincidence or a case of meticulous plotting that brings Jillian face-to-face with the cowboy who kissed her and left? It might not matter. She's grown up, ticked-off, and prepared to settle a score.

Within a family crisis, Stephen and Jillian are powerless to fight their raw desire. From a smolder, their intense attraction combusts. They can't deny that love tastes sweeter the second time. But life throws a curve ball into Stephen's goals. Hollywood comes knocking on Jillian's door with an offer to star in a reality dance TV show.

Be careful what you wish for... There's a very secret, private, and controlling side of the second eldest of the hardcore cattle ranching brothers from Evermore. How far will Stephen go?

The ultimate sacrifice cuts deep. Jillian's once in a lifetime opportunity might be this cowboy's undoing.

A raw passionate, second chance love story that explores the depth of forgiveness and sacrifice, loyalty and trust.

SEXY COWBOY TEASER
       She had her cell phone cradled to her ear and he closed the distance between them, plucking the phone from her hand. That close to her, he fought the urge to do more than take hold of her cell. She stood on her tiptoes, stretching her arm up as he raised his own to keep her cell beyond her hellcat reach.
      “Excuse me. Are you mental! Give it back.”
      Dangling her phone just out of her reach brought both of them closer. Within striking distance and their eyes locked. It was like a bolt of white-lightening tore through him. Her pupils dilated as she stared up at him—she must’ve felt something too. Between them something besides anger boiled.             Raw and undefinable. Intense.
     “Jill, tell me. What are you doing, darlin’?”
     The way she held his gaze without speaking as her lashes fluttered incrementally hooked him.
     “Stephen, I was only checking my messages.”
     Hearing her speak his name after all these years and without the cutting undertone prompted him to step closer. The heat radiating from her tight body warmed his skin only outdone by the fire emanating from her green eyes.
     “Not calling for backup?”
     “As if I’d need help in dealing with you. Get real and give it back!” She grabbed her phone and their bodies collided.
     Letting go of the cell, he reached for her, molding his hands over her hips that fit perfect between his palms. “Tell me the truth, we didn’t do anything?”
    “Like what, Stephen?” she sassed him.
    He stared down at her, painfully reminded how she had the power to arouse feelings in him.       “Anything besides sleep?”
    “Why? Afraid of a repeat performance. Is that why you’re hotfooting?” A sliver of pain lanced her eyes, then it was gone.
     His gaze lowered to her mouth. Had it really been years—almost ten—since he’d last sampled more than her backtalk. Her lips were just as pink and plump as he recalled.
      Back then she’d been in high school and grieving the loss of her parents. He’d wanted to close the deal on the land as well as comfort Jill, and had ended up kissing her. Tasted her sweetness, her innocence, and had backed away before they’d gone farther. And Christ, he’d wanted to. No woman had ever tempted or tormented him as this one. Now their age difference wasn’t what set off the sirens that blared in his mind. Christ Almighty there had to be a hundred going off all at once.

Smoke and mirrors. With a hundred years of ranching on the line, Stephen McLemore dove into his career as an explosives engineer. After achieving wealth, power, prestige, he’s ready to make his move. He walked away from love, but he never forgot the girl of his dreams.
At the time, Jillian Sinclair was 16, a hot mess, and hands-off. Eight years later, is it coincidence or a case of meticulous plotting that brings Jillian face-to-face with the boy who kissed her and left? It might not matter. She’s grown up, ticked-off, and prepared to settle a score.
In tandem, they’re flint and gasoline. Within a family crisis, Stephen and Jillian are powerless to fight their raw desire.

Writing Romance: scene by scene.

Monday, July 18, 2016

Writing romance is both a study in the old and new. Authors don't sit down with the expectation of writing the entire enchilada. As such, an author targets a point, and lays down a story scene by scene. Each a mini-story, a defining point in time. 
 

Tip-tapping, an author paints a multitude of canvases.
Readers look for similar stories based on writer style, genre, and plot. No surprise.On the flip side, writers cultivate ideas to infuse a scene so that even the ordinary becomes sublime. Tick-tock and the point!

Harvesting moments that are funny, energize both an author and a WIP (work in progress). The process isn't difficult but sometimes, simplicity can seem elusive. 
Don't despair. Writing romance doesn't require a trip abroad to become inspired. Really it's an exercise in being open. And seeing the funny side of something commonplace and envisioning 'the what if..." Ideas can be cultivated by happenstance.

Here's the one I latched onto and want to share. Today I just happened to read:
6 Rules Every Wedding Guest in 2016 Should Know by Jen Glantz
Immediately, I thought about how funny it would be if guests from different generations, talked and pondered over the evolution of weddings. 

The method in play:
In reading an article or blog post, or listening to the news or overhearing a conversation, bring a comedian with you. Use a favorite personality in creative ways to recharge a scene. you're about to write or re-write. Channel the voice of say Dave Chappell, Amy Schumer, or my favorite Melissa McCarthy as the characters into a 'what if...' situation.


There's a goldmine out there to excavate lots of ideas to create novel situations. No need to tackle the whole book. Remember we're only interested in making the immediate scene better than good. In crafting a story, torque it by including a funny moment or two to showcase characters. All it takes is tweaking an everyday scene into overdrive.

Happy trails and have fun writing!

Too Hot To Handle Raises Awareness and $$ for Vets!

Tuesday, July 12, 2016

FREEDOM isn't free.

WHO PAYS THE PRICE?



What is PTSD and why is it important to understand?




Very common
More than 3 million US cases per year
  • Can't be cured, but treatment may help
  • Chronic: can last for years or be lifelong
  • Requires a medical diagnosis
  • Lab tests or imaging not required
The condition may last months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety.Treatment includes different types of psychotherapy as well as medications to manage depression and anxiety.

Vanity Fair published an article in June 2015 entitled PTSD: The War Disorder regarding how we're striping ourselves bare from the inside out. Check it out. http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/05/ptsd-war-home-sebastian-junger




 Romance Raises Awareness and Funds to Help: Big round of applause to romance readers! From the sales of Too Hot, so far, we've raised and donated over $400 to Semper Fi Fund.


      Last book in the Bad Boys Western Romance series, Too Hot To Handle is about two Marine vets who are brothers who have been through the wringer. It's a Western at heart but so much more. It has a bite. Too Hot has the framework of a military romance with an edge. Why? War isn't pretty.
      But hope is and that's what the core of a story about two souls finding each other under all the shadows, veils, scars, and luggage hauled around.      



Hope this short blog post opened your eyes and your heart!


If you or someone you love has PTSD symptoms, please seek professional medical treatment. Or if you'd like more information, checkout ADAA
