To Be Continued!

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls . . . Yes, I know I sound like some freaky ring leader. Yes, I know that's weird. No, I do not care. I'm too excited to announce that I am working on a sequel to Temptation. In fact, I'm working on a few sequels, with the goal of turning it into a novella mini-series!!!!

Want to know where Mel, Lucas, and Jason's stories go from here? Well, now you can follow along with the rest of their adventures in the HEART AND SOUL series.

As I see it now, it will probably be a four novella series, and I'm nearly finished with the second installation, entitled Devotion. (At least, the first draft anyway).

In round two, both of our paranormal princes make a return, as well as Mel herself of course, and a few other old friends. Check it out to see how things heat up, cool down, and go from bad to worse for our PG heroine. Unlikely allies, unforgettable enemies, and new weapons that are nothing to shake a stick at.

And, trust me, you are NOT going to want to miss the way this one ends. Just when you think it's over . . . oh no, where would the fun be in that?! ;)

More information about the release date to come. Ya know, when I actually have a freaking clue. For now, enjoy this little teaser. (Keep in mind it's from the original draft of the story and may be altered or removed entirely from the final version.)



*** WARNING WARNING WARNING: Temptation spoilers, so if you haven't read the first book first... well, duh! Get on that, it's only 99 cents, and FREE for Amazon Prime members.




Devotion (Heart and Soul #2) 

"When the ding alerted me that it was time to move on to stage two of what was probably the most epic endeavor I had ever attempted in a kitchen before, I pulled the bacon from the microwave, while simultaneously reaching for the pan. Bad idea. The pan was about four inches closer than I’d expected, so instead of grabbing hold of the handle, my hand slammed right onto the hot metal surface.

“Son of a mother’s, brother’s, sister’s, uncle’s, puppy’s, kitten! Bah!” I jumped from foot to foot, trying to shake away the searing pain in my hand.

Lucas watched my display from the kitchen table, an amused grin plastered to his otherwise perfect face. “And the cheese stands alone?”

Ha-freaking-ha. He was a regular old comedian.

“Forget the cheese; get me an icepack, would ya?”

“Here, let me see that.”

Lucas took my hands in his, and gently pried my fingers away from the injury. An angry red burn ran the full length of my pinky finger. Lifting my hand to within millimeters of his mouth, he blew lightly on the scorched skin before softly pressing his lips to it. I hissed like some kind of demented cat in anticipation of the pain that any contact with the area would unavoidably cause, but it never came.

In fact, the blistering pain that had been there only moments earlier had also disappeared. I glanced down at the unmarred skin of my pinky finger and then back up at Lucas’ smiling face. He had literally kissed it better. There were some definite advantages to having an angel for a boyfriend."
