Last week, my husband and I spent a wonderfully romantic week in South Lake Tahoe. We stayed up on the ridge near Heavenly. The thing I love about the resort is that you can walk out of the hotel and right into the woods. The Tahoe Rim trail is right there! So we got in some gorgeous hikes, averaging about 10 miles a day. It was fabulous!

Here’s a photo of our first sunrise. I didn’t close the curtains and I woke up to this. Of course, I dashed up to the roof top hot tubs and got this photo.

 

Here we are on our first hike. It was cold but we were bundled up nicely!

 

The moon was just coming out when we returned from our hike on the second day!

 

My goal was to climb to the top of the ski runs!



And I made it! 8914 feet! It says that on the side of the ski lift, I swear!

 

Then it really started to snow.



Even the deer didn’t like it! That magnificent buck just hunkered down.

 

But we got all warm again by hot tubbing in the snow! It was fabulous!

 

Hope you enjoyed my travel log! Next year, we hope the Norwegians will come to Tahoe with us for a bit of downhill skiing and snowshoeing. I bought my snowshoes!

Get She's Gotta Be Mine audiobook free!

Thanks to all of you who stopped by the blog to celebrate the release of The Other Man! And congrats to all the winners of West Coast, Book 2, Submitting to the Boss!

As I mentioned last time, I’m working on the next Cottonmouth book, Can’t Forget You! But in the meantime, hubby and I have just finished having Fool’s Gold, Book 1 produced. June Wayne is again our narrator, and she’s absolutely fabulous. Please check out a sample on Audible.

To celebrate the release of Fool’s Gold, I’m giving away a free copy of the audiobook of She’s Gotta Be Mine, Cottonmouth Book 1! Just leave a comment and you’ll be entered to win! So I hope you’ll check out the excerpt, then comment. Please leave your email address so I can contact you if you win.

I’m going to be doing more audiobooks in the future. Somebody’s Lover is up next! I adore listening to audiobooks. In fact, it’s just about the only way I can find time to read these days. I was, literally, down to about 1 book a month with regular print/ebook reading. I just didn’t have time, so much to do! And I LOVE to read. So finding audiobooks—my sister first recommended them to me—has been a godsend. I manage to get in about 8 books a month. For those of you who are too busy to be able to sit for long enough to read a book, audiobooks might be the answer. I thought I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on listening, but I find that if the book has a good narrator, I get sucked in. And I think June Wayne is a great narrator. I really love what she’s done with She’s Gotta Be Mine and Fool’s Gold. I hope you do, too!

So leave me a comment, please, please! I really want to give away this audio copy of She’s Gotta Be Mine!

And now to The Other Man! This is the 4th book in the West Coast series. But wait, one more thing! To celebrate the release, I’ll be giving away 5 ebook copies of Submitting to the Boss, Book 2!

For those of you who read The Boss’s Daughter, you’ll remember Spencer Benedict. After writing that book, I was dying to find out what Spence was up to. In fact, the tagline for his book came to me before I’d even finished writing The Boss’s Daughter. Here it is!

For every hotwife and her husband, there’s always the other man.
And Spencer Benedict is the perfect other man.
Until he meets the woman for whom he wants to be the only man.

When I first started thinking about Spence and The Other Man, I envisioned giving readers the other side of the hotwifing coin, what it’s like to be the other guy in a three-way relationship. Can it work? Or will someone eventually get jealous? Or possessive? And Spence is such an easy-going guy, but in this situation, how will he react? He’s got a backstory that plays into who he is (don’t we all, LOL!), so at first it seems like he’ll be absolutely perfect as a third. So it was fun writing this story, learning more about Spence. And the kind of woman he would fall for. Thanks to Rae Monet for the great cover! Here’s a blurb and an excerpt for you to enjoy.

Zoe Hudson has a most unusual marriage: she plays while she's away on business, and her husband is dying to hear all about her naughty activities when she returns home. It's certainly an unconventional arrangement, but it works perfectly for them. Until Zoe meets Spencer Benedict and a five-day liaison away from home turns into something more. Should she risk making Spence her full-time other man? If she does, her husband will want to know every naughty detail. He’ll probably want to watch, maybe even participate.

Can a hotwife satisfy both men in her life? Or will this other man spell disaster?

The Other Man

Shoving the outer door open, he stepped into the sultry heat of the night. As he crossed the courtyard to the promenade along the beach, a light breeze picked up, toning down the humidity. He strolled to the low wall and stood, hands in pockets as the waves crashed on the shore. It was summer, school was already out in most places, and the walkway was crowded with teenagers, families, couples. His footwear wasn’t appropriate—street shoes—but he headed down the stone steps to the beach. Heat rose from sand that had been baking in the sun all day, but down at the edge of the water, a cool breeze blew off the ocean. And above the scents of sea and salt and lingering suntan lotion, he smelled her flowery perfume as if it had stuck in his head.

But the voice wasn’t a trick of his imagination.

“It’s a gorgeous night, but I’m not used to this heat.” Her tone was husky, low, sexy. She held a paper fan in her hand, stirring the air around her, blowing her scent over him. Her high heels dangled from her fingers. She looked at him, wrinkling her nose. “It was getting terribly stuffy in there.”

“Yes,” he agreed. They weren’t alone on the beach, but the ceaseless beat of the ocean waves cocooned them.

“You were on my plane, weren’t you?” she asked. “From San Francisco?”

He nodded. Obviously he’d been caught staring, but he hadn’t noticed her giving him a single glance.

“We’re just not used to this humidity.” She groaned, fanned herself more vigorously.

“Just wait till there’s a thunderstorm. It gets worse.” He’d been to Florida before, of course. Rain didn’t cool things off; it simply turned everything into steam.

“It was only eighty-nine degrees today.” She gathered her hair, twisted it in a rope around her hand, and held it up off her neck. “Back home that would have been bearable.”

His blood drummed in his ears. He had a near uncontrollable urge to lick the salt from her nape. Did she know she was driving him crazy? He wanted to bend all his rules. He wanted to admit he didn’t have any where she was concerned. That’s what seven hours of watching her had done to him.

“It’ll cool off in a bit. Seventy maybe.” The steadiness of his voice surprised him.

“Thank goodness. I wanted to take my walk on the beach in the morning.”

He wanted to ask her what time. Or maybe she’d simply tell him. Because she’d definitely followed him. And he wanted to see her out on the beach in the early morning light.

“I better turn in,” she said. “I have to call home, let my husband know I arrived safely. And we’ve got a full day tomorrow.” She smiled, backed up a step. “Good night.”

He returned the smile, then watched her walk up the beach to the stairs. She didn’t put her shoes back on.

He dreamed of her in the night. He came imagining her mouth on him. But he hadn’t even asked her name.

* * * *

After climbing the steps, she crossed the square to the fountain, the concrete still warm against her bare feet. The man was a dark outline against the night sky.

She’d seen him watching her on the plane, felt him following her after they’d arrived and made their way to baggage claim. As she sipped champagne at the mixer, his gaze had heated her. Talking to him on the beach had been her opening gambit, and she’d been wet with anticipation.

Her phone rang. This late, it could only be her husband.

“Hey, sweetie, how was the flight?”

“Great,” she told him.

“So, have we found any possibilities?”

Oh, she certainly had. “One. He’s going to take a little bit of work. But I’m not in a hurry.” She was going to let the man think about why she’d been down on that beach beside him. Why she’d spoken to him. By tomorrow, he should be more than ready.

Keith groaned. “Does that mean I’m not going to get my hot and sexy phone call tonight before I go to bed?”

She laughed softly. “Not tonight. Tomorrow.”

“Promise, sweetie?”

“I promise.”

Approaching a man she was interested in was the hardest part. Every time she did, her nerves rising, she had to wonder if she was doing it for herself, or because it was what Keith wanted, because imagining her with other men was how he got excited.

This time she didn’t wonder. This time was for her.
