So, sorry, Sneak Peek readers and bloggers... I've been remiss in my posts the past few weeks. It's been a busy, busy time for me. I've been working on promo for Key Party, the first in my brand new Mischievous Matchmaker series. I was finishing up book two, which is in the hands of my amazing editor as we speak, and I've recently started writing book three.
Release day for Key Party is coming up on June 5th, about two and a half weeks from today, so how about an advance peek into that new story?
Key Party
Rachel watched a tall redhead nearly fill the foyer as he came in the front door. Her heart just about stopped. He was ruggedly beautiful, with bright, coppery-red hair pulled into a short ponytail and eyes that were a rich, vivid blue she could see all the way across the room. He was huge, broad-shouldered and long-limbed—just the kind of man who could make a tall woman like herself feel like a delicate flower.
No sooner had she opened her mouth to tell Petra she hoped she got his keys later that night than he stepped sideways out of the foyer. He turned to laugh with the guy behind him and the words froze on her tongue. The blood rushed from her head and her heart really did stop for a moment.
Ben Richards—not quite as tall or broad as the redhead but long and great shouldered just the same—said something that made them both laugh harder as they made quite the entrance into the room.
Just like that, seven years vanished. Rachel could vividly remember what it had been like to be pinned beneath him on his couch, drowning in his mouth—both wildly lush and utterly masculine—as he kissed her freakin’ socks off. She shivered as she recalled the way his thick, black hair felt clutched in her hands, and how he hadn’t closed his rich gray eyes but watched her while they kissed. And the way his long fingers had felt sliding under the hem her sweatshirt to skim over her skin had been something she would never forget.
They’d been studying so long that night the sun had started to show through the window of the tiny apartment he’d had just off campus. After hours of trying everything he could imagine to help her understand something, anything, about the chemistry class she was failing, work devolved into her collapsing in a fit of delirious giggles. He’d grabbed her, probably out of frustration and his own need to blow off some steam, and kissed her.
It was still the single hottest makeout session of her life.
And the last time she’d seen him.
Oh God.
