My next book, The Seventh Sense, comes out on Friday. Yay! You can get it at Cobblestone Press. "Can you teach me to do it?" "Are you hoping I'll get bored and let you go?" Labels: book trailers, excerpts, The Seventh SenseWhen Erin Andrews buys an antique ring, her practical world turns upside-down. First, she hears a disembodied voice. Then, she receives a series of threatening notes. In her search for answers, Erin seeks advice from antiquities expert Luke Hunter, a man who's deeply interested in the ring.
The Seventh Sense is my first paranormal, and it was a lot of fun to write. I'm excited to have a new book out, although I don't know where March went.
Luke has been researching the secrets of Erin's ring for more than a decade. His help--and protection--proves invaluable, but can Erin trust that he wants her . . . and not her antique ring?
Actually, I do know. I spent the last part of it having my appendix out. Life is much better without it, although I'm still recovering my strength after surgery. I'm back at work, though, and feeling better every day.
Anyway, here's an excerpt from The Seventh Sense:
Hope you enjoy The Seventh Sense! The book is part of the In the Runes series at Cobblestone Press. Here's a trailer created for the series.
He looked confused. "Do what?"
"Fight. You teach karate, right?"
"Karate isn't about fighting."
"I want to learn," I persisted.
"I'll teach you. But we'll start with something else and work up to karate." He stood up, turning off the TV with the remote before pulling me down the hallway. He led me to a makeshift gym with standard equipment, weights, and a wide area I guessed was where he practiced karate. Blue mats covered the floor. "Let's get started."
Something else turned out to be instruction in balance and lessons in escaping from different holds.
I wiggled against him. "I . . . want to . . . do karate."
"You just can't remember how to get out of this hold," he said near my ear.
He was right. I couldn't remember, and the proximity of our bodies wasn't helping matters. I stood in front of him, arms at my side, while his arms wrapped around me and rested directly under my breasts. My struggling wasn't getting me out of his arms-it was only pushing my breasts against his forearms and making me feel out of breath.
"You're wrong. I do remember." I didn't, but I didn't want him to know it.
"So?" I felt his chest move as if he were trying not to laugh. "What's your next move?"
Hell. I wasn't sure what the move was supposed to be, but I wanted to turn around and push him against the wall. With only a few short tugs, I could get his pants off and my pants off and then I'd wrap my legs around him and sink onto his cock . . .
His arms tightened a fraction. "You sure you know what to do?"
Oh, yeah. I knew what to do, and the dampness of my panties signaled how ready I was to do it.
No, not even close. "Yes, it's part of my plan to distract you from whatever you're planning to do."
"It's not working," he muttered, and I felt his dick swell against me.
Maybe I could use this. He had my upper body immobilized. Now I'd see what I could do with the rest. I wiggled again, this time doing my best to press against him.
"Nice try." He tightened his arms again.
Okay, that hadn't worked. I tried to ease my arms out of reach and realized it was hopeless. Use your head. But I was so distracted by Luke that I couldn't have located my head if I had a map and directions.
"Think about it, Erin. If my arms are around you, what does that mean?"
I was pretty sure I knew what it meant. That was the problem.
As promised, here's an excerpt from Office Relations, which will be available Friday at Cobblestone Press. In this scene, Peter has just told Sabrina that he's as interested in her as she is in him. Labels: excerpts, Office RelationsHe hadn't meant to hurt her--hell, he hadn't known he could. He'd obviously given her the wrong impression, but he was more than happy to enlighten her. Her reaction should be interesting--once she got her voice back. Any second now.

"You do?"
"Yes." He strode toward her. "But you had a few other questions. I sit across the room while we work so I don't smell your perfume."
"I thought you liked my perfume."
"I do. But smelling it for too long makes me want to toss you on the table and see if I can find all the places you wear it by licking your entire body."
"Oh." Her mouth stayed open in surprise.
"I hurry out of here at the end of the day to hide my hard-on from you," Peter finished. "Any other questions?"
She smiled. "Only one. Do you have any condoms?"
* * * * *
Today was one surprise after another. She had barely asked the question before he was moving across the room, pulling her into his arms, and devouring her mouth.
"You're shaking," he said against her lips.
"I can't help it." It was all she managed before he groaned and sucked her lower lip between his. Kissing him was hot and wet, like he was making love to her with his tongue. She wrapped herself around him, smiling when he groaned and thrust his hips against hers. Only an hour ago she thought Peter didn't want her. Now she moaned in delight when she felt the evidence of his desire, his hard c--- against her. But she wanted more.
Tomorrow, Peter has agreed to stop by for a visit. Watch for an interview with him.
