FANTASIES
Why do I love writing so much? Because I
get to live in a fantasy world.
I’m lucky that my characters take me to
some pretty wild places and do some equally wild things…
But I’m also an avid reader. I devour books; have ever since I was a kid.
I read widely, across genres and could
happily spend a day/week/month curled up with my nose in a book.
For me, part of the appeal of reading is
getting engrossed in another world, being so absorbed in the characters’ lives
that I’m almost there alongside them, laughing and crying and feeling their
pain.
It’s sheer pleasure to be swept up in the
fantasy as I turn the pages, eager to reach the end yet reluctant to do so
because I love the story so much.
In CROSSING THE LINE, Mia gets to live out
one of her fantasies: geek girl turns bad. And thanks to Kye, the sexy Aussie
bad boy, the fantasy just gets better and better!
Embracing fantasies can be liberating and
exciting. But it’s those deeper fantasies, the emotional ones we crave like
security and love and recognition that can be the most challenging of all.
Now it’s over to you.
Share a fantasy (keep it clean, please!) in the
comments. It could be a fantasy date,
fantasy dinner, fantasy destination, fantasy celebrity.
Go ahead, use your imagination. J
CROSSING THE LINE Excerpt 1
"Hey."
I turned toward the
girl's voice as she stepped out of the shadows, not sure what annoyed me most.
The intrusion or the way she sauntered toward me, all long legs and cocky
smile.
She was just my type:
tall, sexy brunette with enough hip sway to make a guy wonder what made her so
confident, and bedroom eyes that hinted at sin.
Sadly, this devil had
just landed in the City of Angels and sin was the last thing on my agenda.
"I'm not in the
mood for company," I said, expecting her to head back inside.
She didn't falter as
she strode toward me. "Too bad, because I needed some air and this terrace
is big enough for the both of us."
I could've left but
there was something in the way she was staring at me that had me intrigued:
like she wanted me but wouldn't have a clue what to do if she got me.
"Mia." She
stuck out her hand. "Pleased to meet you."
"Kye." I
reluctantly shook her hand. "Wish I could say the same."
"You don't like
girls?" She slid her hand out of mine, the insolent quirk of her lips
making me want to do something I shouldn't. Like kiss the smirk off her smart
mouth.
"Love
women." I took a step back, staring at her feet and slowly sweeping upward
in a deliberate perusal meant to make a point. I wanted to make her squirm. It
backfired, as I noted red nail polish matching her towering shoes, slim ankles,
long legs, tight black dress that ended mid-thigh and hugged her lean bod, and
pert tits. The frigging dress had a front zipper that just begged to be undone.
Beyond hot.
By the time I reached
her face, she was blushing.
"So which am
I?" She leaned forward, giving me a generous glimpse of cleavage.
"Girl or woman?"
