ZeLisa is a Burned-Out Military Vet
ZeLisa is a burned-out military vet. Hank is the Creole firefighter from her past. Their quick-fix living arrangement lights a fast burning fuse.
Blurb:
Now that Dr. ZeLisa Tobias has survived an IED attack and a stint of homelessness, nothing will prevent her from achieving her goals (her “Three B’s”). Then, the veterinarian makes a house call on Halloween night. Face to face with a man from her past, she must deal with his feelings of betrayal and, later, a series of rash misfortune that threatens her newfound stability.
Firefighter Hank Streeter knows his call to the animal hospital is a mistake the instant he answers the door. The doctor has arrived. And—heartbreak is her name.
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?
Price: $3.99 eBook/$0.00 Kindle Unlimited

Excerpt:
Blistering wind ushered her on her way. She heard a scuffle behind her moments before Hank jogged over to block her path so they were toe to toe. He rooted to the concrete in front of her. With a shake of his wavy brown head, he hooked his thumbs into the front pockets of his jeans. His mouth opened as if he was about to speak.
Instead, ZeLisa watched as he bent his head to her level. He kept on course. Faintly, Hank’s warm breath fanned her lips. Next, she felt the pressure he applied there. ZeLisa heard blood rush in her ears. Because of the shock, her eyes remained open. Her fingers lost their grip on the bags. Her breath came in spurts.
Hank apparently wanted to see her response to his provocative act. His eyes watched her watch him. She shivered when the tip of his tongue teased her lips apart. Consumed by the unexpected bombshell, she thought his deepened kiss tasted sweeter than his candy gift. Then, his arms caressed her body, rocking her world.

ZeLisa's Plum Red Dress
Scene: Hank walks in on ZeLisa, causing their temperatures to rise.
ZeLisa took her bags to her room. She looked in the mirror with the clear plastic bag held against her body. She’d chanced the purchases without trying on the dresses. Now wary, she slipped out of her clothes and into one of them. This one was a slinky party dress. “If it wasn’t for the cast,” she bemoaned. With her mouth twisted to the side, she stepped into her new shoes.
A backward look into the mirror confirmed this dress was a perfect fit. ZeLisa posed with her foot extended to approve her selection of footwear. Next, she walked into the hallway to gauge the comfort of the strappy heels. Continuing to the kitchen, she peeked out at Orbit, who remained in the same place. The next thing was to quench her thirst. She tiptoed for a glass from an upper cabinet.
A noise sounded behind her.
Swiveling, she saw Hank—motionless—in the doorway. Then, he strolled over, stretched above her head, and reached her a glass. Their fingers grazed in the exchange. His eyes bore into hers. ZeLisa’s stomach somersaulted. “You’re home early from work.”
“I took some personal time.”
“Oh.”
“New?”
“How can you tell?” A feathery feeling tickled her skin. Hank fingered the price tag under her arm.
“It’s pretty.” He let his hand drift down to hold her hand, the hand holding the glass. “What color is this? Red plum? Whatever. Your luscious skin intensifies the beauty of the dress.”
Steam accumulated in her core, heating her all over. ZeLisa wanted to pull at her neckline. However, that was impossible. The deep plunge would leave nothing to the imagination, if she did. “You’re flirting with me.”
“Naw.” He nipped at her lips in a brazen act. “I’m far beyond that.”
His breath sent shivers through her.
