NUN ON THE RUN
Desperate to escape an arranged marriage, Reina Alvarez needed a way out of California fast, a way that would elude the ruggedly handsome and very determined bounty hunter her father had sent after her. What better way to hide her voluptuous curves than with a chaste nun's habit? But as the ties of love pulled her and Clay Cordell closer together, chastity became the furthest thing from Reina's mind and she wanted only to be bound to the sexy bounty hunter forever.
When Clay got to New Orleans, he was almost fooled by Reina's virtuous act. However, it was soon evident that the vixen who disguised herself as a nun, was no nun. No nun could ever kiss so sweetly. The last thing Clay wanted to do was bring Reina home to another man. Her raven tresses and fiery manner made him only want to surrender himself to her...SWEET SILKEN BONDAGE.

An Excerpt from Sweet Silken Bondage:
Clay looked down at Reina to find her dark-eyed warm gaze upon him. Excitement lurched through him, and he realized he wanted this. He desired Reina. He had when he’d thought she was a nun, and he did even more so now that he didn’t have to feel guilty about it
As the music came to an end, Clay whisked her out the double French doors to the balcony and the privacy of the cool, dark night.
Reina was startled by his daring, but she did not resist as he drew her gently away into the shadowy splendor of the evening.
He gave her a wicked smile. “Now that I’ve finally found you, I don’t ever want to lose you.”
A thrill coursed through Reina.
Clay held her close, and she went willingly.
Passion erupted as their lips met for the first time. He crushed her to his chest, deepening the exchange.
Clay’s kiss was powerful, unlike anything Reina had ever experience before. A burning need grew within her. Linking her arms around his neck, she pressed herself even closer to him. Engulfed by heart-stopping pleasure, she wondered if this was love….
Clay was stunned by his own reaction to her and by her passionate response. His mouth left hers to seek out the softness of her throat as he caressed the soft curves of her breasts.
“Clay…please…” She didn’t know what she was begging for, she only knew she wanted to be nearer to him.
At her urging, any thought of restraining himself disappeared, and Reina moaned in pure ecstasy.
Only the sound of voices nearby jarred them back to reality. Clay pulled away from her.

Thank you for hosting today.
Do you have any advice for aspiring authors?
Hi Traciem! My advice for aspiring writers is follow your heart! If you're a writer, you know it. Write what you love. Now, granted, sometimes things we love aren't 'trendy' but write it anyway. Back in the day, my editor told me - 'If you want a career, don't write about the midwest.' :) I'd been writing stories set around the St. Louis area and on the Mississippi River. I've always been a steamboat lover. That advice from my editor turned me to my other main love - the wild west and cowboys! And that turned out to be such fun. So write the story that is in your heart and get it out there for the world to see. With e-publishing now, things are very different. So you have a lot of options. Good luck!
Who influenced you to be a writer?
Hi Tami, I knew when I was in 5th grade that I wanted to be an author. We had to write our autobiography back then, and I wrote - I want to be an author and I want to be a teacher. I think I put the 'teacher' thing in there to get in good with my teacher. :)
Now, inspiration-wise, it was Kathleen Woodiwiss with The Flame and The Flower that inspired me to write romances. I was a stay-at-home mom with two little boys when I started my first book, writing long-hand back in the day. It was so much fun writing that first book. Never knowing if I'd sell it, only writing it because there were people in my head talking to me all the time. :) Selling that first book led to a 30 year career. I've been very blessed to be able to do what I love - making people live 'happily ever after' in my stories.
