Hi everyone! I’ve got news–Woot!! Pinch of Naughty, my erotic historical western, will launch on Friday, March 2nd from Ellora’s Cave. I’m posting from it today. I think some of you might recognize my characters–Cyrus Burke and Eleanor Lacey–they met here @Six Sentence Sunday last year in a wip I temporarily titled, Night Duty.
Cyrus admired the shape of Eleanor’s lips as she had her say.
“Mr. Burke, it is inappropriate to couple in the hours of daylight; besides which, I, for one, have work that needs attention and I’ve no extra time for dallying.”
“Guess I’ll have to catch you between jobs. Leave the bloomers off. You never know when my baser instincts will require some more dallying.”
She opened her mouth to sass and he added, “You got any on now?”












Love how Cyrus can get her all flustered! I do remember this one.
Congrats on a release date!

Great as usual. Humorous and light. I love your characters.
Okay, mildly disappointed I'm not getting another sentence or two about Edge and his artist-lady, but this was SO worth the disappointment. Hysterically funny. What a pill that hero is, right? Great sexual tension (as USUAL), Gem. Congrats on the release!!
Ha! I love that. Naughty indeed.
Oh, Gem. I splorted coffee. This is a WONDERFUL snippet.
fab! I'm choosing this one as "Liz Fav six" for this week and will post on FB and twitter.
Oh my! Love this. Congrats on your release, Gem!
Oh, this is great. "Leave off the bloomers." Very nicely done, and congrats on the release.

I love your writing. And I can almost feel her stop when the last question is asked.
LOL, great six! Cheeky and sassy!
Awesome dialogue! Loved their exchange. And HUGE congrats on your release date
YAY
No wnder you changed the title!!!!
Heh-heh, very cute. I love it when sassy meets cocky. Good luck with your release.
Great depiction of a hero who knows his way around (or into) a lady's bloomers and a wonderful hook into the upcoming release! Here's to many sales!
Oooh, Gem! Love your six sentences. No point in having bloomers on if they're just going to rip them off. Very titillating. Will need to drop by the Cave and check this book out further.
Fun and sexy six, Gem. Did his last line shut her up quick? lol Congratulations on your upcoming release.
The man's playing with fire! Great six. *snickers* I love the word bloomers!
