Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors, where writers post 8-10 sentences of a published work or work in progress. Today I'm posting an excerpt from The Hitman Who Loved Me, the final book to McCoy's Boys. This scene starts off with Terry (hero from book 2) questioning Sam on when he would date a woman who didn’t need to be institutionalized. “There was nothing wrong with Annie.” Terry roared with laughter. “She painted her toenails five times a day, all different colors.” Sam shrugged. “She had cute feet, so what?” “Didn’t she try to paint yours one day?” He ignored that question. Terry would never let it down if Sam admitted that on one exciting night he had blue nail polish on one side and green on the other. He couldn’t refuse Annie. She had a smile that could undo the stitches on his gitch.  McCoy's Boys 3 The McCoy empire is under siege, and Sam Hayes has been tapped to take care of the culprit. Sam knows better than to get involved with his target, but there’s something about Jamie that keeps him from simply finishing the job and moving on. Maybe the hard-bodied hitman just can’t wrap his mind around the fact that the first woman to set his soul on fire is a common criminal. The only thing Sam can do is keep her close. An easy enough task—if Sam doesn’t do something stupid. Like fall in love with the bombshell he was sent to kill…. Read More>> Until next time, ladies and gents!

Here we are on another adventure with Weekend Writing Warriors! Today I’m jumping back to book 1 of my McCoy’s Boys Series, with 10 sentences from Beautiful Criminal! ~~~ “We don’t know anything about each other.” Gabe leaned down and captured her mouth, nearly bruising her lips with his blazing kiss. A whimper tore from her mouth, and she succumbed, weak from the power of his possession. Why? Why does he have to make it so easy to give in? Gabe’s hand snuck past the hem of her night shirt and lifted it past her waist. She sucked in a sharp breath when his fingers slid between her pussy lips. Back and forth, he lit her fire. Mima gripped the kitchen counter, trapped between the wooden block and his hard body. “What do you want to know about me?” he asked, pinching her clit between his fingers.  Mima Etu lives a quiet life with her sled dogs in the stunning Canadian Rockies. But that all changes when she stumbles upon a plane crash while out on a supply run. She’s shocked to discover the pilot is still alive—though barely. With the sun setting and the temperatures quickly dropping, Mima knows he’d never survive the trip to the nearest hospital. So she takes the stranger back to her cabin... Read More>> Until next time, ladies and gents! Be sure to check out snippets from the other participating authors through the icon below.   This week I’m sharing a cute little excerpt from my latest release... Killer Appeal Falling in love can be a dangerous thing. Sinful love is in the air, yet Liv Erichsen is beyond its reach. With two fiancés murdered a week before her weddings, what man would dare love her? In walks Mason Davidson, a handsome devil and a rogue to a lady’s honor. Liv knows she should avoid him, and yet, his bold touch sets her afire. Mason came to Valhalla Estate for one reason and one reason only—to catch a killer. But he’s never met a woman quite like Liv before. She’s spirited, intelligent, and drives him crazy with lust, even though her curse could be hazardous to his health. Now he wants Liv for himself. And he’s willing to risk everything, including his life, to get what he wants. Excerpt: He had not noticed it before, but after that incident with the prostitute in Portland, he always checked beneath his bed before he got comfortable in any room. He bent over and tugged on the cloth, realizing it belonged to something large. He tugged harder and held back his laughter when a muffled gasp resounded beneath the bed. Gripping the cloth in both hands, he pulled with all his strength. Liv slid out from under the bed, her cheeks pink and her eyes narrowed into angry slits. He opened his mouth to say hello, but she swung her hand out and smacked him clean across the cheek before he could say a word. As she struggled to get up, he lowered his body over her, pinning her beneath him. The sting of her slap had sparked the rogue inside him. Again, she had bested him. But he would tolerate it no more. “Let me guess…were you dusting, love?” Purchase Killer Appeal at Amazon, B&N, Are Read more Sneak Peeks here:   Welcome to Sneak Peek Sunday!

Every time he shifted the throttle another gust tossed him in the wrong direction. Left with little choice as the engine sputtered and lost momentum, Gabe opened the side window to view the landscape below. The river twisted like a snake beneath him, and on each side the towering Rockies left no room for a safe landing. Strong winds blew snow off the mountains, creating tails of white through the sky, making it impossible to see exactly where the mountain ridges started or ended. The engine sputtered again before the props stilled. Nothing but the sound of the wind howled through the cockpit. Fuck!” Gabe held the throttle in a pointless death grip. The Cessna was now in the hands of the shifting Canadian winds. There was no time to pray, even for a man who didn’t believe in God, and he could not radio “Mayday” and risk the authorities finding him. His life and the cargo were now at the mercy of the wild. He caught a brief glimpse of snow-covered mountains ahead, before the plane took a nosedive into the white depths below.
