Spring
has finally sprung, although it may not feel like it in some parts of
the country experiencing snow and monsoon-force rain. But be of good
cheer, sun worshipers. If summer is on the horizon, do you know what
that means? It’s time for you to load your E-Readers with beach
reads!
Isn’t
it lucky for you that I just released a new one?
Once
Upon a Sunset (Extasy Books) is the third title in my annual
summer series “Key West Heat.” The previous installments were The
Last Sunset (2017) and Beauty and the Beach (2018). Each
story is a stand-alone, with different characters and plots. The only
common thread is that they take place in Key West, with attractive
characters, lots of atmosphere, some humor, and enough erotic
encounters to ramp up your internal temperature before you dive into
the pool to cool off.
Ted
Allen left Key West five years ago to pursue a better job in another
part of the country. He left behind a lifetime of wonderful memories.
He also left Shakira Watson, the one woman who had carved out a
prominent place in his heart. Now his career has brought him back to
the tropical paradise, with hopes of rekindling what they had before.
He thinks it’s fate, but will Shakira want anything to do with the
carefree, fun-loving bachelor she remembers? Is Ted finally ready to
commit to one woman?
This
is an interracial romance and though it uses a hook that isn’t
entirely original (the guy comes back with hopes of reconnecting with
the woman who got away), I threw in a plot twist that’s a bit
different for me. It seems that in the five years since our hero and
heroine last saw each other, she had a major change in her life. I
won’t spoil the surprise, but it’s something that added a sweeter
aspect to the romance than I usually use.
Here’s
an excerpt to tempt you.
Ted
wrapped his arms around Shakira and kissed her deeply, gliding his
lips along hers. Her scent was intoxicating and brought back a
torrent of memories. He got more into their passionate embrace and
ran his hand along Shakira’s back while devouring her soft, full
lips. He felt her hand on his thigh, starting at his knee and slowly
inching upward, increasing his arousal. Her tongue invaded his mouth,
challenging his to an erotic duel.
She
pulled away and planted wet kisses along his cheek and neck. “I
never forgot how good you do that,” she whispered.
Ted
looked into her eyes while cupping her cheek. “Crazy eyes.”
She
giggled. “What did you say?”
“I
always thought you had crazy eyes.”
“What
does that mean?”
“Something
dangerous beneath the surface, like you’d try anything once.”
Her
eyebrows arched. “And just what tricks have you learned the past
five years?”
“Nothing
more than before.”
Shakira
pushed him onto his back, then lay on top of him and ran her fingers
through his hair. “We did do some pretty crazy things, didn’t
we?”
“I
think the craziest was making love in the hotel hot tub when I took
you to South Beach for the weekend.”
She
laughed. “I swore those people at the poolside bar knew exactly
what we were doing. It made me hot.”
He
kissed her. “Me, too. Feel like getting a little crazy tonight?”
“Do
you have a hot tub in here?”
“No,
but I’ve got a double bed.”
She
stood and took his hand. Ted followed her to the bedroom. Shakira
pushed him onto the mattress, then practically fell on top of him.
Her lips locked onto his and her tongue snaked into his mouth.
Ted
ran his hands along her back, down to her full round ass, squeezing
her through her tight jeans. Then he rolled her onto her back and
continued kissing and fondling her. Her hands roamed along his back
and shoulders while she lightly chewed his lower lip. He began to get
hard rubbing against her, and her scent drove him wild. He pushed
himself up to a sitting position, pulled her shirt up and fondled her
breasts through her black lace bra. Shakira wriggled out of her shirt
and bra, giving her full breasts their freedom. Ted mouthed one and
then the other, sucking her nipples into hardness.
Shakira
gasped in pleasure. “You know that’s the sensitive one. That
always turns me on.”

Sunset. You’ll be glad you took the trip.
