Crushing on Napa Crush on the Fourth of July

Happy Almost Fourth of July! I have a new book coming out with the sweetest Fourth of July scene I thought you might enjoy.
The book is called #NapaCrush and will be available on Amazon July 20th. Although each book in my series is a standalone read, with no cliffhangers, Napa Crush, is book #2 of my Wine Country Romance Series.

Happy reading.


There are several twists in the story and I don't want to spoil it for you, so I'll keep the set up brief.
In this scene, the heroine, reporter Danica Vargas, is recovering from a scorching and surprising kiss from her childhood sweetheart, the indie baseball star, Luca Santino. She, and a group from an earlier party, caught a ride from Luca to the river to watch the fireworks:

She’d lost sight of Luca after the group’s Frisbee game. Although the Santino clan, and practically everyone else from the gathering, played, Danica couldn’t bear the awkwardness of being around him, and stayed on the sidelines. Even if she had managed to corral enough courage to strike up a conversation with Luca, she couldn’t have pulled it off in front of Michael.

It didn’t matter, though. Luca hadn’t noticed her. She doubted he’d given her a second thought after helping her out of his truck.

Zzeeee-zzzzz. A test firecracker launched over the Napa River, illuminating the rapt crowd with red bursts of sparkle. As if on cue, Luca’s unmistakable silhouette popped up near the river’s edge, flanked by two female forms, one on each side. Danica shifted on her blanket for a better look. The figure on his right leaned, tilting her face up to his.

Remembering the taste of Luca’s kiss hours ago, she felt a hot blush sear her cheeks, and clutched the sweatshirt at her neck. Danica wriggled away from Juliet and leaned forward for a better look. What would he do now?

Luca adjusted his blanket so his cuddling companions were covered and protected from the cold breeze coming off the water. She’d have to wait for her own up-close view of him next week unless he cancelled their interview.

Even though they’d kissed, she changed her mind about finding another source for the baseball story. It wasn’t professional to kiss the subject of an interview, and god knows she shouldn’t have with Michael. But Luca? Her first kiss? They had too much history between them. She would talk to Mr. Harvey, and if she had to pass the story on to someone else, she would.

BOOM! A spray of red, white, and blue glittery light exploded over the park. A surge of excitement rushed through her. Luca Santino was back. Although she wasn’t sitting next to him, after all these years, they were together in the same place, looking at the same sky, seeing the same fireworks, at the same time.

I hope you have a safe and happy Fourth of July!

Until next time,

Two To Tango~ Unexpected Romance in California Wine Country

Happy first day of March!  I can't remember if I told you what I'm up to these days... I can barely remember what season it is! As usual, I've been writing hot, summer love scenes with wind and rain battering my windows, but the sun is shining today in wine country!

I have two new contemporary romances with my editor now. NAPA CRUSH, book two in my Single Girls Wine Club series is coming out in June.  Thank you so much for hanging in there and waiting for the sequel to JUST A KISS. I think you'll be thrilled with this story...it's HAWT!

And... there's more big news! Coming up on April 5th, I'm releasing TWO TO TANGO, the first book in a brand new series in Marina Adair's St. Helena Vineyard Kindle World.
I loved Marina's St. Helena Vineyard series and read every one of her books, the moment they came out.  I can't tell you how happy I am to be a part of her writing community and had a blast writing the story. If you happen to be on Facebook this Friday, I'm hosting a party in the St. Helena Kindle World group! I hope to see you there!
 
If you'd like to meet Jake Martelli, the gorgeous hero of my story and get a first look at TWO TO TANGO, I'd love to have you! Sign up for an ARC here:

ARC stands for Advanced Reader Copy and in most cases means the book has only gone through a rough editing pass.  It isn't the final version of the book but is very close. 

Until next time- Happy reading!

You Can't Touch This!

The trials and tribulations of a blabbermouth disc jockey turned romance author part #563

I didn't uncheck one of those seemingly insignificant buttons on Amazon, and Just a Kiss (my book) rolled over into another ninety-day exclusive Kindle Unlimited contract. Now, don't get me wrong, as a brand new author, with only one book on my digital shelf, Amazon has been very good to me.  The Kindle Unlimited program has put my novel in front of many romance readers who may not have found it otherwise. The problem is me.
