EXCERPT

Set Up: Today’s snippet immediately follows last week’s, in Meg’s thoughts. Um, I might have forgotten to mention where she is, but you’ll figure it out…

Drifting, Meg wondered how many other women Zach had brought to Josie. Had she been able to work miracles for them, too?

Don’t be a little girl. If there was to be a miracle in her career, it would happen because of hard work and dedication. Even then, there were no guarantees.

But she had her chance now, and she’d always be grateful to Zach for helping her snag that opportunity. He groaned beneath her, and his large hands cradled her rear, keeping them joined.

This was good, for the moment. She rubbed her nose across his chest hair, then settled her cheek against him and let sleep have its way.

BLURB

It’s New York! Broadway beckons, but Meg has more fun keeping an erotic triangle going with her current flame, Zach Cullen, and her drama coach, Josie Patrice.

Zachary Cullen has ignored Josette Patrice’s overtures for years, but she agrees to take on his latest protégé-slash-arm-candy Meghan Keenan in her off-Broadway workshop theater. Though the girl has incredible talent, Josie would stake her reputation on that little thing being a switch-hitter, like herself, and she doesn’t want Zach to be duped. Josie sets out to seduce Meg and expose her for what she is, but all bets are off when Meg turns the tables on Josie to hook her up with Zach.

EXCERPT

Set up: They might have been talking about her, but now Meg’s curious about Zach and Josie…

While the acting classes were taxing, Meg thrived on working with Josette Patrice in the theater workshop. Josie had so much to offer. She’d been active onstage before turning to directing, and Meg knew enough to realize she was in the hands of an excellent teacher. Zach had reiterated that fact over and over, but in her gut, she knew it to be true. The woman’s sophistication nearly took her breath away. She carried herself with the kind of aloofness and pride that Meg hoped someday to emulate.

Meg had spied the animated conversation Josette and Zach were having that afternoon in the rear of the theater and wondered, not for the first time, about the odd relationship between the two. On the surface, they seemed much more suited together than herself and Zach. They had to be closer in age, and they must also share some sort of interest in the theater world. After all, Zach had brought her to Josette for the express purpose of helping her with her career.

Smoldering Passion (Passion Series Book One)
RELEASES THIS FRIDAY APRIL 7!!

EXCERPT

Set Up: it’s the end of Melissa’s first week at her new job, and she’s scheduled for her first on-camera scene that afternoon (which you can read at this link: https://wp.me/p9O7pv-39w)

Harry found Melissa in the library Friday morning. He knew he would. She spent more time in the library and the small screening room than anywhere else. He’d kept track of her fairly closely. That was his job—he always monitored new hires, though maybe not quite as closely as this one.

She looked up from the table where she was working.

He nodded. “How are things going?”

“Fine.” She patted the materials in front of her. “I never thought about how much is known about sexual practices in ancient cultures.”

He smiled and walked further into the room. “Guess there’s been a healthy amount of curiosity about sex for a long time. At least in recorded history.”

“Apparently. I’ve been particularly intrigued by how sex was depicted in art.”

“Yes, that’s right.” He drew up a chair and sat down. “You’re an artist, aren’t you? I forgot.”

Melissa shrugged. “Sometimes I forget, too.”

“So what is your medium?”

“I work in pastel and acrylics, mostly. I also do charcoal. I’m not sure I’ve actually found my ideal medium.”

Harry nodded. “Suppose that takes time. I guess I’m still searching, too.”

“Oh, not at all,” Melissa said quickly. “You’re an artist with a camera. By now I’ve seen hundreds of your still photos. I especially like how you do black and white. Even the videos display an artist’s care for not explaining away mystery.”

He frowned.

“You take a highly charged subject—sex—and treat it with sensitivity and honor. There must be a ton of videos out there that treat sex as simply connecting the dots.”

“You’re right about that.” He chuckled. “Yeah, there’s a lot more to sex than connecting the dots.” He gave her a long stare.

She blushed.

“What now? I’m not talking about love.”

“I didn’t think you were.”

“Love, at least as it’s understood in popular culture, enhances sex, but it’s not absolutely necessary for sharing profound sex.”

“I’m discovering that—to my surprise. It’s almost as if sex, in itself, can be an art form.”

Suddenly feeling very warm, Harry rose to leave.

BLURB

Her passion smolders. Will it ignite?

When art student Melissa Hopkins finally unpacks the two boxes her Aunt Phoebe left for her and sees Phoebe’s black and white photos, it’s like opening Pandora’s Box. A simple quest to find a new job morphs into an about face—not just in her art, but in her career and personal life. Short on funds now that her graduate stipend is ending, she applies to work where Aunt Phoebe once worked: a center for sexuality and sex studies.

Sworn off women after a disastrous relationship, Center Director Harry Gage ignores the danger signals and hires the striking young woman who reminds him of his former lover. Her air of innocence will captivate center viewers, so he’s sure she’ll be a hit on camera. What he’s not prepared for is how she pierces his heart.

When the sparks flare up, is it love or just sex—and what must each of them risk to find out?

Welcome to Snippet Sunday – ten sentences from all your favorite romance authors! You’ll find them all at this Facebook Group every Sunday:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/SnippetSunday/

Today will be our last Sunday at the back of Josie’s Off-Broadway workshop theater – next week we’ll move ahead a little. Here, Josie and Zach are watching Meg rehearse.

Set up – the last lines from last Sunday: “Well? Is she regressing?” Zach made no effort to conceal his annoyance at Josie’s lack of response.

EXCERPT

Josie winced and glanced at him. The backlighting highlighted his furrowed brow and graying temples. “Sorry – what Meg is going through seems quite typical. She’s only been here a few months; it’s a huge leap from small-town mid-America to New York City. Don’t you remember that?”

“I suppose – it does seem like a long time ago. What else?”

“Are you ever patient?”

“Sometimes.”

Her heartbeat quickened at the sudden thought that he must be both a demanding and patient lover. She shook her head to clear it – why couldn’t she stay focused? Was it her French blood? Raging hormones? Or a sign of early menopause?

This week’s snippet picks up where last week’s left off. We’re still with Josie and Zach at the back of the darkened theater, watching Meg rehearse. Zach has made a comment about Meg, but Josie’s still struggling with her reactions to him…

EXCERPT

Josie squared her shoulders. At forty-three, she was hardly over the hill. She’d had her share of lovers. Given Zach’s lack of interest, she’d flaunted her female lovers before him. She felt her nipples pebble—maybe that had been a mistake. Zachary Cullen was not a man to be toyed with. Certainly he must know by now that she wasn’t simply into women. Evidently he didn’t give a whit about her sexual appetites.

“Well? Is she regressing?” Zach made no effort to conceal his annoyance at Josie’s lack of response.

This week’s snippet picks up where last week’s left off. We’re still with Josie and Zach at the back of the darkened theater, watching Meg rehearse.

EXCERPT

Set Up: here is the last sentence from last week: Meghan was the third young woman he’d brought her over the past ten years.

“She seems more wooden, less natural than when I first saw her in that little community playhouse back in Wisconsin,” Zach said, breaking the silence.

Lost in her own thoughts, Josie startled at the gravelly sound of Zach’s deep voice. It was that slow, strong drawl that had appealed to her since the first time they’d met. That, and his burning eyes that seemed capable of peering into her soul.

Josie wet her lips watching the stage lights bounce off the girl’s auburn hair, as if setting her afire. Had Meg been caught up in Zach’s vision for her, or in his nearly overwhelming air of masculinity? She had to admit his broad shoulders and tapered hips triggered her own lusty imagination. Damn. She hated the fact that she had difficulty ignoring his manliness, and he never even looked at her as a woman. Apparently, he only saw her as a conduit for helping his protégés advance their careers.
