I am a wife and mother of two loveable, but angst-ridden teenagers, that provide great material for my craft. Although I love to write, I am a reader first and enjoy nothing more than curling up with a good book and some tasty Italian (the food, of course!). I hope you enjoy my stories.

She shrugged. âThe writingâs good, but I didnât care for the characters.â
âWhy not?â
âThey felt one-dimensional. He comes across as a womanizing, self-indulgent fool.â
Nick arched his brow, his lips quirking into a grin. âHeâs got his faults, but I wouldnât describe him that way.â
âAs bad as he was, though, the heroine was even worse. She seemed stupid and fakeâ¦almost vapid. She was always getting herself into trouble and falling into hot water.â Encouraged by his amused smile, she continued, âAnd I refer to hot water in the literal sense. The one I read, the girl was suspended from the ceiling over a pot of boiling water until Max Montero swooped in at the last minute.â
âIt was acid, and he likes saving beautiful women from danger. Whatâs wrong with that?â
âShe could have saved herself, or better yet, not gotten into the situation. And heâ¦well, he could have been nicer to her in general.â
âNot every hero comes in a one-size-fits-all package, Shyla. Donât hold back, though. Tell me what you really think.â
âOkay, I will. I can appreciate a different kind of hero, but Iâd like one with a functioning set of scruples. In the scheme of things, these books donât deserve shelf space with the others. They definitely fall into the dime store drivel category.â
âOuch,â Nick said, pouring himself another drink. âI donât think you understand the concept of sarcasm.â
She opened and shut her mouth as the realization hit her. âYou were joking when you asked me to tell you what I really thought?â
âYeah, but donât worry about it.â
âSo, what do you do for a living?â she asked, anxious to change the subject. It was possible sheâd accidently insulted one of his favorite novelists.
âIâm an author.â
âHave you written anything I might have read?â
âThe dime store drivel youâre holding.â
Uh oh.
Excerpt 2
âWhat are the other meanings for shucks?â she asked.
âIt has many definitions. It can be a husk on the outer layer of corn. Or it can mean worthless.â She gave him a questioning look so he offered an example, dropping his voice slightly. âLike I donât give a shucks about what we do as long as we do it together.â Her face flushed slightly, her smile turning suggestive. Encouraged, he dropped his voice a few octaves more. Test the water, Dorsey, but donât fucking dive in! âOr it could mean to discard.â
âDiscard?â
âAs in peel off. For example, she shucked off her black T-shirt in a hurry.â His feet dipped into the complicated waters heâd avoided, waters that could heat up to boiling point if they kept creeping down this dangerous path.
âI see. So if I said, do you mind if we donât shuck tonight, that would be a proper use?â
Nick opened his mouth to respond, to try to eat up the words already spilling out into the atmosphere, but she held up her hand, and her lips parted slightly. âBut I hope we do shuck one day.â
Naughty girl.
