Sweet Romance Duo IR/MC PG13 and a Free Read
Louisiana Hot Sauce
Genre: MC PG13
Count: 101,210
Price:$5.99 $3.00 New Year’s Day sale @ Red Rose Publishing
Scene: Mesha reacts to what she believes is Jack’s deception.
Excerpt:
Jack mussing his hair dry lifted the towel to decipher questionable sounds from the other room. All of a sudden, Mesha’s squeal rent the air. He bolted out of the shower at the shrill noise, clumsily tucking the bath towel at his waist. His entry into the living room evaporated every good thought she previously had about his character.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, alarmed. A new venomous look entered her eyes. “What is it?” he repeated.
“You-you deceived me, Jack,” she accused, snatching the tabloid up to wave under his nose.
“Mesha, it’s not what you think. I promise,” he begged.
“Men are all the same.” She panted to avert an explosion. “How much will your silence cost me, you slimy bastard?”
Her jerky motions signified a woman at the end of the rope she wished she could wrap around his neck. “I want to help you.”
“Good. Help me by getting out, Jack.”
“But—”
Her contemptuous look scorched him like sweltering delta heat.
“No buts. I want you gone before I get back. Get…the…hell…out!” Mesha stormed as she exited in rebellion.

Nicked Hearts
Genre: MC PG13
Count: 34,560
Price: $3.99
Scene: Nick’s lies and deceit have him determined to win back K.C.’s affections. She’s just as strong-willed about ousting him from her life. Will an electrifying comfort food encounter set the stage for forgiveness?
Excerpt:
Whirling around sent her careening to the cabinets. The fine wood grain door plucked a loud smack from the fierceness of her snatch. She required a bowl big enough to accommodate her need for comfort food. She turned to search out the cereal spotting her father’s closed toe leather slippers under the refrigerator door. His whole body stood in the deep recesses of the stainless steel wall unit hiding him from view. K.C. seized the opportunity to set him straight.
“Zeke, you owe me an apology.” Another bang sounded and her bowl clattered to the granite island. “I can’t believe you fell for his trickery. He’s nothing but a con artist.” Flakes skittered into the ceramic dish practically filling it to the rim. The cellophane crackled as she folded it down to prevent staleness. “It’s bad enough you deceived me but to encourage him.”
K.C. heaved—a mind clearing breath— slapping her palms to the counter with an exasperated shake of her springy loose curls.
She skirted the island to retrieve a spoon from the drawer. The move put her back to the open refrigerator door. “Make yourself useful and give me the milk.” Her extended arm waited for the handoff. It came and with it a trilling sensation her father could in no way induce.
K.C. fought the feeling as the fingers holding the carton curled her wrist in the switch. They were long, strong and very capable of reducing her to quivering jelly, just as they did at that very moment. She hallucinated really badly due to medication. That had to be it. Nick was not standing in her kitchen sporting her father’s sweats and slides.
“We need to talk.”
On the other hand, his apparition spoke to her in his soothing baritone timbre. She unhooked her arm and backed away.
“I’m not leaving here until you forgive me.”
“Then you stay. I’ll leave,” she quipped and proceeded to follow the words with action.
Will K.C. forgive Nick’s misguided lies?
Dare his nicked heart dream?
