Three Christmases One-week Peek and Giveaway!

Ad for Three ChristmasesHello, everyone!

{whispers}

We’re one week out from the release of fourth novel in the No Weddings Series, Three Christmases!

To celebrate, below find a teaser PLUS a giveaway for a $25 gift card and a signed set of all four novels in the No Weddings Series…

One-week Peek of THREE CHRISTMASES

Hannah and Cade get a little naughty in the kitchen…

Mischief glittered across those dark blue eyes, and he gave me a lazy smirk. “I do love that about you.” He lifted his free hand and trailed his fingers down the side of my neck. “Hungry?”

His gaze drifted down to my bare breasts, lingering as my nipples hardened under his heavy attention, then shot back up, locking onto mine. By the time he took a slow breath, he looked ravenous.

I swallowed hard and nodded, unable to find my voice, my throat locking up.

“Good,” he growled. “I’m famished. And wondering what you taste like covered in chocolate sauce.”

Emboldened by my own hunger, needing to take charge for a change, I pressed a hand to his chest, shaking my head. “No. Not this time, Mr. Michaelson. Your turn to be on the menu.”

His eyes widened, nostrils flaring, but he didn’t argue.

Smart man.

I went to the pantry to retrieve the jar of chocolate sauce. By the time I turned around, he’d jumped on top of the kitchen island and had reclined back.

For a split second, my breath caught. Like a Greek god carved by Michelangelo himself, Cade reclined on the slab of marble, sleek lines of muscle stretching from his legs to lean hips. Strong shoulders and corded forearms shifted as he turned to face me, revealing rippling abs that led to a dusting of hair. In the center of all that muscular beauty, arched the very thing I couldn’t wait to drizzle chocolate sauce on, wrap my lips around.

He watched me, the corners of his lips twitching.

Right when my pulse fired faster, as I bit my lower lip and took another step closer, my beautiful man took a deep breath, and the heat of his stare intensified. Until he dropped his head back and shot his arm straight up in the air, striking a pose with all the ego of a man who knew he was all that—with the confidence in his masculinity to pull it off.

“Well, hell. Was I supposed to grab a sketch pad?” I bit the lip I’d pulled into my teeth to keep from laughing.

He snapped his head up, pinning me with a hard stare. “Make one move anywhere but straight toward me, use any medium but that sauce on my body, and I will tackle you onto the kitchen floor. Then I’ll be painting you and cleaning up the mess with my tongue.”

Three Christmases Blurb:

*** Special pricing (from $3.99 full price) for pre-orders and release day. ***

*** ONLY for pre-orders and on release day: get a SIGNED eBook edition! ***

As the holiday season approaches in this fourth book in the No Weddings Series, Cade Michaelson strives to be better at balancing work and love, and Hannah Martin’s growing ability to trust is put to the test.

Lust and friendship brought us together, but with the increasing demands of my two businesses, Hannah’s thriving bakery, and our successful event-planning company, stability becomes my focus. Then a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity takes me to the West Coast, and everything goes into a tailspin.

Laughter, love, and excitement fill our lives, but Cade refuses to settle into the wonderful bliss we’ve found—he wants spectacular fireworks and an unshakable foundation. Driven like no one I’ve ever met, Cade insists a dream job across the country will be better for our future together, but I worry about whether we can survive the present apart.

When intimate time diminishes…and lives get more hectic…

Will a little bit of faith be all that it takes? Or will the sacrifice to get there be too great?

For Valentine’s Pre-orders

AND… For Valentine’s is up on Amazon for pre-orders! And all digital pre-orders are signed.

Pre-order here: For Valentine’s on Amazon

A first look at the For Valentine’s description…

This steamy nightcap novella, the fifth book in the No Weddings Series, takes us on a post-happily-ever-after adventure as Cade attempts to rewrite Valentine’s Day with his new wife, Hannah.

Wedded bliss. After everything Hannah and I have been through, we finally have it. Yet dark dreams from my troubled past continue to escalate as we approach Valentine’s Day.

Determined to fill our present with great memories that overtake all others, I plan a trip to New York—down to every scheduled detail. Yeah, there will even be a musical.

But Mother Nature has a few tricks up her sleeve. And the universe keeps throwing us curveballs…
