And here we are again. Impossible but true, summer 2013 is a thing of the past and it’s time to winterize the pool and get the rakes out. @_@

For my snippet this weekend, I’m sharing  another scene from my  coming soon title, Outrageous Pride, releasing September 26, 2013.

“He’s polite and incredibly gentle for being so…” Tali paused, glad that she was alone as she searched for the correct word to describe Mr. Lonigan. When it came to her, she swallowed nervously before saying it aloud.

“Virile.”  He gave the appearance of being temperate and calm, at the same time his visage was battered and he exuded male dominance.

Objectively she numbered his scars—one on his forehead, evidence of a deep gash once cutting through the eyebrow itself; a second on his left cheek, small, more akin to a dent; right ear torn; jagged mark on his jaw; an obviously recent split lip; and a faint scar above his mouth that traced a white line to his nostril.

His nose… She sighed, wondering how many times its broad expanse had been broken.
