Celebrating with a Kindle freebie!


It's Sunday so it's time for another "Six" but this week it's a very special one. December 2012 is the 20th anniversary of the publication of my first book by Harlequin Mills & Boon, An Image of You.

I don't have an online version of that to give away to mark the occasion, but I have just republished OLD DESIRES and as a gift to all my readers, I'm giving it away free this week (from 9th-13th December) at Amazon. The link here and on the sidebar is to the US, but you'll find it on whichever Amazon you use - US, UK, France, Germany... the list goes on

But just in case you need a little more incentive, here's my "six" taster.



She closed her eyes in an effort to blot out the desire in his eyes, not quite trusting it, but knowing that it was far too late for her to fight the echoing response he must all too clearly see in hers. Knowing that she was helpless to resist.
He took her face between his hands, tilting her face upwards cradling it in his long fingers until she could bear it no longer. ‘Please…’ The word, barely more than a sigh, escaped her lips, but whether she was begging for release or capture she scarcely knew. Until he kissed her and by then it was too late.


For those new to this, the rules are simple:

Sunday Six meets A Stranger's Kiss

It's Sunday so it's time for another "Six".

Tara Lambert, blackmailed by Adam Blackmore into working as his secretary, is finding it hard to resist the shocking attraction that flared between them from the moment they first met. Working late in his apartment, her resistance begins to unravel...



For a moment his eyes challenged her to defy him, to ignore the warmth of his body against her own, to ignore the way his mouth curved with sensuous insolence, inviting her to make the first move and risk the surging desire that had surfaced so abruptly when he had kissed her in the wine bar.
It was hard. Harder still to ignore clamour of her blood pounding with wild impatience through her veins. To ignore the way her skin was tingling, begging to be stroked by the long fingers holding her against him, teased by the broad tip of his thumb, already far too close to a betraying nipple, erect against the soft cloth of her dress.
       Another moment would have been a moment too long but without warning he stood up with her, surprising a soft cry from her lips. He smiled then, and set her gently on her feet.
