Christmas Crush 5 Stars Amazon Reader Review-Verified Purchase
Is a man not a man if he rolls rather than walks? Just ask Ashley.

Scene: Ashley's eye-catching red dress
Snippet
"Sorry for the distraction." The table legs scraped when he hurriedly pushed back in his wheelchair.
"She's one hell of a distraction." Craig paused to look at Tank. Appreciation glinted in Tank's eyes.
"No disrespect, man." Tank laughed. "You should see your face. I mean, you know what they say. Age ain't nothing but a number."
The comment posed a concern for Craig. "I'd better get back in there before I have to fight my way out."
"Knowing my crew like I do," Tank concurred , "yeah, you'd better."
Craig brought up the rear, and screeched to a halt after he crossed the threshold to the house. Ashley no longer hovered like a wallflower. Her evocative sway caused light to shimmer across the material of her eye-catching red dress. She stepped in perfect timing to the bouncy tune gyrating the airwaves. Craig noticed that her dance partner did most of the work. Obviously, he didn't seem to mind.
For once in a long, long time, Craig felt at a disadvantage. Should he make his presence known ? Or not? Ashley needed to know her own power. There wasn't a doubt she enjoyed herself. The beauty of her smile spoke volumes. Rather than spoil her fun, he wheeled to an out-of-the-way corner to wait. It took effort to keep his chair from becoming an obstruction.
When Craig looked up again, Ashley was headed his way.
"How did it go?" Her upbeat, breathy tone blended with the music.
"Had to reschedule."
"What? Why?"
"Tank said I was distracted."
"Were you?"
He had to admit the truth. "Yes."
Ashley spun in a circle, appearing to search the room. "Come with me." She grabbed his hand to start his motion. "Excuse us. May we pass, please?" She let him have his hand back. "Gangway… coming through."
Craig was able to squeeze through the mob as she bulldozed a path. "My kind of girl."

Ashley sensed restrained power in his touch. Now grooved into his body, she languished there. Craig's minty breath seared the skin on her cheek. Although caught up in the moment, she knew his chair would topple if she didn't reduce the added weight. Her mind made up, she garnered the will to move. At the same time, an unpredicted change occurred in Craig's body. She jumped off his lap—in a hurry.

Don't Pity This Dynamic Paraplegic! Christmas Crush IR Inspirational
Coming to print October 2015
Price: 2.99 eBook
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?
Excerpt:
Meanwhile, on the other side of town…
On his way to the bathroom, Craig Johnston cut across the sunbeam on his bedroom floor. En route, he paused at the window. A lover of light, he even liked the weak, wintry kind. His blinds whizzed upward after he pulled the string. The musical whistle of a tenacious songbird perched somewhere in the branches of a nearby leafless tree greeted him. In jest, he cut loose with a mocking whistle. The bird seemed to chirp in response.
Craig laughed, released the cord and moved on. Following his daily routine, he now finished off his hot cereal, fruit, and juice, with a cup of black coffee, and a piece of toast. Craig stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth. He continued with the preparation for his Friday morning sprint, even though it was Christmas Eve. The weather forecast on the radio confirmed another cold, frosty December day. Finally dressed and wheels loaded, he cruised twenty minutes to downtown Golden.
...He wasn't one to cling to the past by his fingernails. Craig had a life to live, and he chose to live it to the fullest. "It just doesn't get any better than this," he said to no one in particular.
His skin dampened under the exertion as he pushed on to his cutoff. Decreasing speed, he released the hand pedals to readjust his half-fingered gloves. Looping the trail for the turnaround trip, he admired the historic Old State Capitol building that overlooked the river. Rapidly, the downtown skyline grew to scale, blending the old with the new.
Previous thoughts slid to the back of his mind as he glided across the woman's line of vision. This time, however, he couldn't continue to mind his own business. There was something strange in her demeanor. Craig swung his handcycle back around. His slow approach let him take in her unresponsive gaze.
He stopped right in front of her. She never blinked. For a better view, Craig slipped the sunglasses off his face.
What did Craig do next?

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.”
