I moaned."You like that baby?"I thought it went without saying that I liked any part of my husband's body touching any part of my body more than anything I had ever, or would ever, experience in my life.He caressed up my thigh, my hip, my torso and settled firmly cupping a breast. I moaned again, this time adding a back arch into the mix, pressing myself harder into his hand. He started kissing up my neck. God I loved this man. He took his other hand, grabbed my chin and tilted my face to look into his, pinning me with his dark and powerful stare. "I. Love. You." I kissed him deeply, like I couldn't get enough of him, like my life depended on it, like at any minute he would be gone...forever. The voice of Michael Bublé started crooning. What is Michael Bublé doing in bed with us? My eyes sprung open. A dream. Have you ever lost that one true love? The one you were sure you were destined to be with? What if fate stepped in and gave you a second chance to have it all? Would you take it, or would you guard your heart with lessons learned?Hannah Riley has gotten her life back on track after her husband suddenly divorced her. She was successful, had amazing friends, and everything was coming up roses. That was until a phone call changed everything. After amnesia has left her ex-husband thinking they still share a life together, Hannah has a choice to make. Take him home and try to help him through his struggles to hopefully regain his memory, or to send him home to his new life and the awful woman that now awaits him. Tyler Kelly runs his own successful architectural firm, is at the top of his game, and went home every night to the woman of his dreams. That was what he thought his life was. Amnesia left him in his perfect life, but the reality was that none of it was true any longer. Their home wasn't his any longer, their lives weren't one anymore. What could have happened to change all of it? Hannah was the love of his life, what could have made him leave her? The only thing he was sure of was that he WOULD win her back. Will second chances be earned? Will true love prevail? Will she Be Mine...Again?To the reader: Very quirky dialogue and humour. Times of drama and times of lightness. The sexy parts leave little to the imagination and she's lightly BDSM laced. I hope you enjoy Hannah and Tyler's journey.

Gratitude at Work

2014 FIRST PLACE WINNER for MYSTERY/SUSPENSE - KINDLE BOOK PROMO / INTERNATIONAL BOOK CONTEST. Det. Blake Ervansky is first on the scene when an Oscar-winning star is shot by his ex-lover. As lead cop on the case, Ervansky has everything he needs to put away Ali Garland: motive, weapon, videos of the murder and a dozen eyewitnesses, one of whom is his partner of less than 24 hours, Sgt. Maureen O'Brien. This is LA, the beating heart of show biz, though, so nothing is as it seems, even Ervansky's new partner. Ali Garland appears to have been justified in defending herself with lethal force, but could this wide-eyed ingénue be the architect of an airtight double fake? Has she really pulled off the perfect murder? Ervansky and O'Brien will only unravel her skein of deceit when they turn to the same Hollywood magic that convinces audiences aliens can phone home, talking clown fish do search and rescue, and every hooker is just a nice girl waiting for the right millionaire.
