Christmas Crush
Christmas in July? Why not?
Will Ashley spend Christmas with Craig or her bitter memories?
Price: $2.99 eBook/$7.99 Print
Blurb:
Although Ashley Wagner feels more like Scrooge than Santa, she keeps her promise and accompanies her sister back home for a Christmas wedding. Her three-day weekend is off to a rocky start, thanks to the unexpected run-in with her womanizing ex-husband, and his very pregnant new wife. She manages to get away with her dignity intact, but later, with old wounds ripped open, the professional crisis manager ends up in the middle of her own life-altering predicament.
Then, sports journalist Craig Johnston, wheels to her rescue.
Will Ashley spend Christmas brooding over bitter memories? Or will Craig, a dynamic paraplegic, present the deserving divorcée with a gift she can't resist?
Scene: Ashley meets her rescuer, Craig, face to face.
Excerpt:
“I’m Ashley Wagner.” She extended her hands to him. “I believe you’re the one I should thank for being so kind to me this morning.”
Taking her outstretched hands, Craig looked at her. No longer in a rush, he took time to analyze Ashley. A feeling, akin to this morning’s enchantment, zapped him. “Are you all right?”
At that point, Ashley’s action mystified him. Craig watched her close her eyes. But, she never removed her hands from his fingers.
“Ask me that question again,” she urged.
Baffled, he obliged. “Are you all right?”
“That voice.” Her eyes reopened. They seemed to shower him with a joyful gaze. “I would recognize that chivalrous rumble anywhere.” Ashley squeezed his hands as if to impart power to her gratitude. “It is you.”

Love’s Ultimate Balm
Will ZeLisa and Hank’s accidental reunion on Halloween night be the holiday gift that keeps on giving?
Genre: AA Romance/Intimately Sweet
Price: $3.99
Blurb:

Will deception, doubt, and a run of bad luck curse their accidental reunion? Or will Hank convince ZeLisa that a marriage of convenience is love’s ultimate balm?
Excerpt:
Metal crunched, scraping the quiet from the dark night. ZeLisa lay curled over both seats. The shift jabbed into her abdomen. Airbags wedged her from the waist down as her face smashed into the leather passenger seat. The truck’s diesel engine revved up as if the driver sped away.
Banging commenced outside of her car. The voice moved from one side to the other, and back and forth.
“Dr. Tobias.” She recognized Hank Streeter’s forceful yell. “Open the door.”
His racket finally spurred her to move.
Slowly, and with deliberation, she disengaged her body enough to do as commanded. Strong, guiding hands gripped her upper arms. ZeLisa emerged with a hobbling step, definitely unbalanced. But she was otherwise unhurt. As she exited, her shoulder bag tumbled at her feet. Over the commotion, she heard sirens in the distance. The curious crowd inquired about her condition.
“Are you hurt?” Hank Streeter’s authoritative voice dominated her airspace. His clutch tightened at her unsteadiness. “Asshole fled the scene.”
In the lamplight, she noticed his big, booted feet ground to a pulp the edibles from her purse. ZeLisa allowed him to usher her across the grassy median to the sidewalk. The expression on his face was unreadable in the dim lighting. Yet, his grunt signified a dumbfounded reaction.
Not the least bit concerned about his feelings, she pivoted to look around. “Where’s my shoe?” Overhead light illuminated the funny look he gave her. Even through the cartoonish makeup, she saw his alarmed gaze soften.
“Come on.” He draped an arm around her shoulders to lead her away.
An unusual feeling surged through her body. She felt like he’d swaddled her in a voluminous, cottony cloud. Without a doubt, her mind refuted the instant sense of security that descended over her. A disoriented stagger swung her around. ZeLisa lurched back to the car. “I need my shoe.”
He walked over, and leaned to collect her things off the ground. Another perturbed grunt sounded as he stood, her salvaged purse dangling from his hand. ZeLisa’s awkward step exhibited her unstable equilibrium. His arm clamped around her waist, molding her to his sinewy, strong body. Even though his restraint was evident, she flinched in discomfort and tugged free.
“All you care about is a shoe?” He looked on her from his mighty height. His mouth cocked upward at the corner. “You were nearly killed.”
“I splurged for these shoes!” She stuck out her foot. Suddenly, she clutched her side.
“You need to sit.”
ZeLisa ripped him with a look that said backoff.
“You…need…to…sit.”
She fought as he scooped her to sit in the cradle of his arms.
Who will win this battle? The vet or the fireman?

Love’s Ultimate Balm Now on Kindle Unlimited
Burned out and homeless, ZeLisa reluctantly accepts the Creole firefighter’s hospitality.
Burned before—by her, Hank aims to keep hot spots to a minimum.
Can he?
Price: $3.99 eBook/$0.00 Kindle Unlimited
Print: $12.99
...Walking swiftly, she rounded the corner to see the partial devastation of her complex. Her steps slowed. The burned-out shell on one end contrasted the waterlogged end before her.
In front, a lone fire engine hummed on the parking lot. Its occupants appeared to do a sweep to ensure flare-ups remained contained. ZeLisa darted forward. Yellow tape roped the whole building, keeping her barred from entering her condo. A surreptitious look and she fondled the tape, prepared to raise it up.
“I wouldn’t do that, if I were you.”
Bent to sneak beneath, she halted at the voice of caution at her rear.
ZeLisa pivoted to look at Hank. He had shed his outer jacket, and stood in front of her in his suspendered over-pants and boots. The storm in his eyes lessened. She felt a calming effect as he walked over. “This is a salvage expedition, Hank.”
“Do you see those people over there?” He pointed to the crowd surrounding the Red Cross van. “They have that same request, ZeLisa. But, due to safety concerns, the answer is the same. No entry is permitted.”
ZeLisa let the yellow ribbon drop. “Was anyone hurt?” Just saying the word “hurt” reminded her of the discomfort. Baited, she readjusted her broken arm.
“I’m happy to say no. No one was injured.” ZeLisa noted something different in the sound of his voice. A tinge of relief overshadowed the edgy clip it held earlier.
It was cold outside. But Hank’s expression made her swelter. Stammering, she confessed, “I-I’m glad you’re okay.”
He hooked his thumbs in his suspenders, his gaze intense. “What’re you going to do now?”
