Blurb
Unable to make it home in a snowstorm, Ellie seeks shelter at
an old farmhouse. When the owner’s grandson shows up and happens to be the man
she had given the brush off to twice, it takes all they have not to kill each
other during the snowed-in days that follow.
The last thing Ellie plans on is the relationship
outlasting the storm. Bix’s persistence at a relationship and attempts to help
her at her job with his computer skills proves to be more than Ellie can
continue to push away. She finds herself where she never wanted to be after
losing her fiancé a year ago. In love again.
When Ellie’s twin sister shows up and puts all their
lives at risk, they must now weather a different kind of storm together.
Excerpt
Bix was surprised to see Ellie standing
in the kitchen when he walked in her house the following Monday. He was hoping
to surprise her when she got home from work. She must have left a little early.
“You’re home?” He walked over admiring her hair then gave her
a kiss as he ran his fingers through her hair. “What made you go dark?”
“I just felt like a change. You like it?”
“I do.” He kissed her again and weaved his fingers through
her hair and to the back of her head.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and began kissing him
hard. Getting more aggressive in her kisses, she began pushing him backwards
until he was against the wall.
“What got into you, babe?”
“I just missed you.” She kissed his neck then pulled at his
shirt, sending buttons flying. Her hands stroked his chest and went down to his
belt buckle.
He closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall as
she kissed down his chest. She slid his jeans down, but left his boxers on.
Kissing her way back up his chest, she placed her hand at his crotch. He was
already getting aroused. “Nice,” she said, giving him a squeeze. Kissing him
harder, she began rubbing her hips against him.
“Let’s get down to business, stud.”
His eyes sprang open and he held her by the shoulders, then
looked into her eyes. They were the same shade of blue. The same deep blue
outline. He looked from one to the other, then saw it. A green fleck that was
never there before.
“You’re not Ellie.”
“D--t.” Her hand still stroked his chest. “You’re quicker
than Tony was.”
He pushed her back and quickly pulled his jeans up. “Ellie
never mentioned being a twin.”
“It’s no wonder. I’d want to keep you to myself, too.” Again
she leaned into him and tried to place her hand on his c--t. He grabbed her
hand before she was successful.
“Stop it.”
“Come on. What are you? A choir boy?”
He moved away from the wall so she would stop cornering him.
“I don’t know what your game is but—” The sound of a car door closing stopped
him.
“D--t. The party pooper is home. We’ll have to finish
later.” She looked to Bix again and ran her tongue over her lips.
Bix tried pulling his shirt together the best he could,
but it was a useless attempt with his buttons scattered across the floor.
Guest post (by the author)
Hello readers!
I find it easier to do guest blogs when I have a list of
questions thrown at me, but we’ll see what I can come up with on my own. Hey, ‘by
the seat of my butt’ works for my books… it should apply here as well!!
Like the rest of my novels, Double Mocha, Heavy on Your
Phone Number came from a single idea & built from there. I have to give my
husband credit for this one. He told me about helping a stranded motorcyclist
on the way home & a story was born. He could only shake his head when I
told him what he had started.
“You made a chick be the one to push start the
bike, didn’t you?” He knows me and my female leads all too well.
I was thrilled to be offered a contract for it with a fairly
new publishing house. I thought for sure the title would get changed, but they
kept it. A few readers admitted to picking it up for that very reason – I guess
the publisher made a good call. It’s a mouthful, but it’s so Bix. He is really
one of my favorite male characters.
I get the whole family involved with my writing. My hubby
gets abused for ideas & manly corrections, my son does my book trailers and
my daughter is the cover artist/illustrator for my middle grade fantasy series,
where I write under the pen name of Ann T. Bugg. http://www.beforehappilyeverafter.com/
Thanks for hosting me on this barrage!
Happy Reading!
