Tori’s Teaser Tuesday: Lord of New York

“Excuse me,” a voice said from above and slightly behind Ryenne.

She and Gavin glanced up and saw the guy from the next table. She looked over. The woman wasn’t there.

“Sorry to interrupt your meal but I couldn’t help noticing you,” he said. “My girlfriend and I have an open relationship. I was hoping you might let me borrow your girl.”

Ryenne’s eyebrows shot up. “His girl?”

A huge smile broke across Gavin’s face.

“This girl,” Ryenne said, “makes up her own mind. And this girl has no intention of doing anything with you, open relationship or not.”

“Come on, baby, you might like it,” the man said.

Ryenne gave Gavin a look that she hoped conveyed “Is this guy for real? What decade is this?”

The smile on Gavin’s face grew wider and he sat back in his chair as if ready to watch a show.

WIP Wednesday: Falling for Kigali

Falling for Kigali

Falling for Kigali Teaser Image

A draft of my latest manuscript is with my editor – yay! A bunch of decisions from now and I’ll be able to publish it.

This book is a bit of a departure in that it isn’t PNR. No wolf shifters, or shifters of any kind. Sorry! But I hope you’ll give it a chance, because it’s set in Rwanda and there’s plenty of steamy action.

A woman with a heart as big as her temper. A man with secrets that threaten their love. Will she be consumed by passion like she’s never known?

Lizzy Jones came to Rwanda to work with a humanitarian aid organization after the genocide. This is her first overseas assignment and she’s in way over her head. 

In addition to the challenges of her job as the project administrator for an all-African team of public health professionals, Lizzy didn’t expect:

  • to meet a hot American military attaché
  • steamy nights and lazy mornings in his arms
  • to fall so completely, utterly, head over heels in love

But many obstacles stand in the way of her happiness. Secrets from his past, an overly paternal volunteer, threats of imprisonment, and a friend who wants benefits. Lizzy must learn to keep her temper in check, her mouth closed, and her heart open, or she’ll lose the chance at passion she didn’t even know she craved.

Falling for Kigali is a complete story with a HEA and NO cliffhangers. Stay tuned for FFK companion novels for more busy days and sexy nights in the Land of a Thousand Hills.

Crochet for Australia

The wildfires in Australia really struck a nerve for my son. We spent a long time talking about what information was out there and what people had done and could do. I had just the day before seen a post about what crafters were doing and I realized there was a way I could help, too. So, I crocheted some nests for orphaned baby animals. It’s not much, but it was something. If I have time (and my hands recover), I’ll crochet some more.

What has moved you to action?

Sexy Snippet Saturday: Kenya Calling

Her glass of wine joined his on the table and she launched herself at him, grabbing him by the back of his head and pulling him close for a kiss. Their lips met and heat scorched through her body. The tension of the night exploded between them and she couldn’t get close enough. She tore off her leather jacket, no longer feeling the chill of the coming dawn, and pressed herself against him.

He ran his hands down her sides and his tongue explored her mouth.

Her fingers enjoyed the feel of his thick hair while her mouth indulged in the softness of his.

The kiss stretched on and on, his hands found her bare skin, and she was on fire. She needed his skin, too. Pulling away from his mouth, she lifted the hem of her tank top, removed it, and tossed it on the floor. Then she scrabbled at the buttons of his shirt.
