Tempted Chapter Two… For Real This Time

Tempted is a story that has ever been the bridesmaid, but never the bride. I typed the first chapter in April of 2018, and all that time, I would tinker with it, then put it aside in favor of something shinier and… dare I say… easier. I’m not going to lie, this story has been …

The month of love is almost over, but the scenes keep coming! I’m sharing a rather half-romantic scene. Well, it’s not actually romantic at all, except that it serves as a meet-cute for our dear couple and sets the stage for the beginning of their relationship in my newest book. Quirky? Yes. Irritating?  He can …
