I have a garden update, and it's not a good one. I must tell you, my first flower garden bloomed up beautifully. It got to the point you saw not dirt, just gorgeous white, blue, purple, and pink flowers. I weeded it (when the rain allowed). And I felt such pride at what I created. 

Down by my mailbox, I had petunias and marigolds. One day a few weeks ago, all the petunias died! Just shrivlled up all brown and died! I couldn't understand what had happened, especially since the marigods are still there. But, I still had my flowers by the front door...right?

Thank you to everyone who stopped by! Now the fun part. The winners!

Have a wonderful week!

Surprisingly, I have gotten some writing done this summer with the kids home. Not as much as I'd have liked, but more than I expected. I wrote a 30,000 length novella that kinda came out of nowhere that's currently sitting in slush piles. *Sigh* I hate waiting.

AND, if you've read Wanted: Wife (and we'll pretend you have and loved it!), then you'll love this next one I'm working on. It's title will either be Arranged Love or The Set-Up. The parents have set the hero/heroine up, and Kayla and Ryan decide to play along to appease their parents. But hey, I always supply a happily ever after, so I think all know how that is going to end.

Thank you so much for hopping by! I hope you have a look while you're around at all the different types of books I have to offer.

There is of course a grand prize to this hop, so be sure to leave a comment with your email address in the comment section.

Now for my sentences I hope will entice you to want to learn more.

Sliding his hand around her neck, he tilted her head so he could deepen the kiss. Her fingers danced around his waist and the little sensation went straight to his groin. Releasing her hand, he gripped her waist and pulled her into him. He was hard and it pressed into her and she didn't seem to mind. Damn this woman! She should be pushing away from him, reminding him they were to stay friends, but instead he kept hoping her hand would find its way lower.

Could they do this once and then pretend it never happened? His erection was telling him yes, but his brain was telling him no. He started to pull away from the kiss, but Darcy wouldn't let him.

God, he was turned on and wanted to touch her, taste her, explore her. He needed her!
