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!

He's a sexy suit who gets what he wants. Kevan Landry is trying to keep her life on track and her brother in rehab. If her fledgling marketing firm can sign the hot new band, Manix Curse, it will make a world of difference. Mason Dillon heads the most successful music PR firm in Portland. He's desperate to breathe new life into the company by signing Manix Curse. The last thing either one needs is a one-night stand with a smoldering stranger... The stakes are high when a battle for the band-in the bedroom and the boardroom-becomes a battle of the heart. But if these two can set...
