My debut BEAUTIFUL CRAZY came out yesterday and I'm thrilled to share a short excerpt and a giveaway for 2 gift cards!  I can't wait for you to meet Kevan and Mason, as well as Manix Curse gang! Excerpt: She smiled, staring down at the table for a moment before looking into his expectant face. “So what were we talking about?” His mouth twisted into a teasing smile, and little crinkles appeared around his eyes, making him even more gorgeous. Mason reached up and brushed her hair back again, tangling his fingers in her locks. Instinctively, she rolled her head back into his grasp and stared into his eyes. She could swim in his sultry gaze for days, like a parched nomad during an extended drought. In the desert. And no oasis in sight. “We were talking about the bands,” he said. “Right. What did you think of the bands?” Dropping his hand to her neck, he began to rub in small, gentle circles with rough, calloused fingers. His warm fingers on her cool skin m...

I'm working from Dallas this week, and I have limited time so I thought I'd share a short excerpt from Beautiful Crazy (out November 1), the first book in the debut series, Rock ’n’ Ink!

My taste in music is fairly eclectic…I like a little of everything (except country, the only country I like is Sam Hunt and the Mavericks, but that’s another story). For me, music is a family affair. In my teens and early 20s, I spent a lot of time seeing bands: punk, rockabilly, ska, rock, metal, you name it.
