Heh. Saturday Snippets… all about cold places

And this one?  Set in Alaska.  It gets damn cold there.

From Stolen

Having a minor mental meltdown over my personal appearance…you know, girl stuff, she thought. She was definitely entitled to a major freak-out over what was going on with her career.  And she was female; she didn’t have minor, or major, meltdowns over her appearance, ever.  She should be entitled to them, every now and then.  This was her time.

“I need to talk to you,” he said quietly.

Shay arched an eyebrow.  “Really.  And here I was thinking you drove up from Earth’s End at eight o’clock just because you had nothing better to do.”

A faint grin slanted his mouth.  “You really are a smart ass,” he murmured.

“One of my finer qualities,” she murmured, stepping aside to let him enter.  She shut the door behind him, shivering as a wicked burst of cold air came slicing through.  Wrapping her arms around herself, she turned to face him.

He was slipping out of his parka and she felt her mouth go dry as she watched his sweater stretch over his shoulders.  Man, she loved those shoulders…she’d always loved those shoulders…For some reason, looking at him managed to stir the hormones she was able to ignore at any other time.

Why was it she’d managed to go most of her adult life without feeling these pangs of lust and need, but whenever he was around, they were about all she felt?  Made it even harder to think.

As he turned back around to face her, she forced herself to look away, staring at her feet so he wouldn’t see anything all those things she didn’t want him seeing—he’d always seen too much.  That had been one of the problems.

 

Incidentally?… Stolen is now up from PREORDER at Amazon.  No other info is available yet, but it’s a romantic suspense. 😉
