Sandra Hastings has just lost the case of her
career. Mob boss Silvestre Buonoventura is exonerated and now out to get her.
And if that’s not enough, the New York D.A.’s office has politely asked her to
take some time off... maybe a lot of time... like forever.
Nick McCullough is a little bored with tiny
Stone Bay, Maine, and his new job as Chief of Police. He’s hopeful though that
a weekend camping with the lovely Sandra Hastings will put a little zing into
his life. Now he has to make sure that the mob boss who’s put a hit out on her
doesn’t get the chance to complete his plans. Maybe his little weekend will
give him more zing than he needs.
“Mmm,” she purred and opened her
eyes. They were sleepy, heavy-lidded, but the sexiest thing he’d seen in maybe
his whole life. “You know, I kind of don’t mind you calling me ‘baby’ anymore.
Why do you think that is?”
Nick didn’t feel an answer from him
was necessary so he bypassed speech and went right to the good stuff. He
carefully laid his gun on the bedside table then bent his head while gently
pulling her body up into his. When she didn’t complain, he touched his tongue
to her bottom lip, then moving his lips up until they covered hers. A little
pressure and he felt her open to him. Surprised at her response, he didn’t
waste any time mulling over her change of heart.
The kiss began softly but quickly
passion took over. Sandra’s hands began exploring his nape, running through his
hair, then reversing course and beginning a route down his chest, stopping at
each button on his shirt.
“What are you doing?” he asked
although he didn’t really want to stop her in her journey.
“Taking off your shirt. I need to
touch you,” she murmured.
“Can I do the same?”
“Mmm.” He interpreted that to mean,
‘sure, go ahead, stud.’” Chief, you are
such a butt-head.
After the buttons on both their shirts
were undone and Sandra had begun on his pants, his brain finally jerked into
gear. Well, actually both his brains, but he was going to listen to the bigger
one at this moment.
“Sandra,” he said as he gently eased
her hands out of his pants. “This isn’t the time, although I want this more
than you can ever know.”
“Then shut up. I need this, Nick.”
The sleepiness was wiped clean from her eyes, and they were piercing and...
hungry.
Min Edwards is the pen name of
Archaeologist, Book Designer, and owner of A Thirsty Mind Book Design, Pam
Headrick.
She has lived in many countries in
her life—England, the Philippines, Cuba, Texas (yes, Texas thinks of itself as
a separate country)—gathering experiences for her writing along the way. She
earned Undergraduate and Graduate Degrees from Texas Tech University and The
University of Texas at Austin in Anthropology with minors in Art, Geology and
Geography, and she spent her early professional career as an Archaeological
Illustrator of some renown. Radically changing track in 2004 and opening an
Independent Bookstore in an affluent community outside Austin, A Thirsty Mind
Words & Wines, (one of the first bookstore/winebars in the country) started
her on her road to careers in bookselling, book formatting for eBooks as well
as print, and ultimately writing.
Min works now from a small office in her 180
year old Greek Revival farmhouse at Pheasant Cove Farm just 300 yards from
Cobscook Bay, an arm of the Bay of Fundy. In the summer she walks on her beach
every day, listening to the song of the pebbles being washed back and forth in
the tide. It’s a musical and inspiring sound. In the winter though, she’d
rather the beach be sand and maybe transported to someplace warmer... Tahiti
seems to be most often on her mind.
Enjoyed the excerpt.
