Big girls don’t cry over a spilled chocolate milkshake—they run like crazy.

Alex Barrett’s all too “real life” sentence is almost over. She’s spent years being a parent to her siblings—and her flaky mother. What was her reward, other than an empty bed? Nothing. And now that she’s almost free, nothing’s exactly what she plans to do. Except have fun.

One minute she’s one of thousands of panting female fans at hotter-than-hot Drew Hartford’s concert. The next, she’s all wet—and so is he. Okay, so it’s only because she dumped a milkshake all over him.

Drew’s meteoric rise to the top of the country charts is fueled by the swooning women who throw themselves at his feet. Alex? She’s different. When their icy paths cross, she doesn’t throw her panties, she beats a hasty retreat. There’s only one way to keep this intriguing lady around long enough to charm her out of those panties: offer her a job she can’t refuse.

Drew may be every female’s definition of a fantasy man, but a paycheck and a roll in the hay do not a relationship make. Besides, Alex is tired of living 24/7 for someone else. Even a someone who’s offering her dreams of happily ever after…

Warning: Hot and heavy loving; stuff country songs are made of.

Excerpt for THE COWBOY PLAN

“Don’t worry about it, darlin’.” Large, calloused hands stilled hers as the voice sunk in.

Her gaze drifted up tight, faded denim, cupping and hugging every inch of muscular thighs to a silver belt buckle. A dark T-shirt covered flat abs with just a hint of ripple and the pecs of a well-sculpted man. She gulped. God he was so damn fine.

It was the mouth, though, that made her pulse skitter into overdrive… How many times had she fantasized about those lips? Her mouth dried as her vision filled with the crooning six-foot-two man of dreams and desires.

She dared not look him in the eyes, though she could remember the color from staring at his CD covers so many times. The chocolate brown orbs matched his thick hair to a yummy T. Almost the color of the mess she’d made all over his worn boots.

NEWS : NEWS : NEWS

So…. the other day I said I had news I wanted to share. I wanted to wait to tell my ‘Buds in person (which I did/am doing–not sure if the timestamp on this thing is accurate). And I was waiting on paperwork–which I completed Tuesday, April 7th.

I sold another book . . . . WOOHOO!!

The Cowboy Plan

The story is about a Country and Western Singer (Drew Hartford) and a Pet Photographer (Alex Barrett).  I am working on the blurb for my editor and will post that as soon as it’s ready.

I am excited about this story–not that I am not always excited about my books–every book I write I think I have a little crush on the hero. As it should be. Why would you want to read about him if I don’t have a little crush on him, right?!?!?

The E-format of  THE COWBOY PLAN will be out in August ’09–I will pass along the specificdates as I get them. And just a reminder: TRADING FACES will be out in print this summer. SECOND CHANCES will be out in print around Christmas ’09.

More info to follow ASAP!
