Just days away until Take A Chance, Cowboy is here!

I'm excited for my next release with Beachwalk titled Take A Chance, Cowboy.  I had a great response for Counting Cowboys, so I really hope readers enjoy Nathan's story in Take A Chance, Cowboy.

I've been working hard to get the next one done as well. It's titled Virgin Cowboy. This will be the 3rd brother, Braden's, story. And last but not least will be the baby sister of the family, Melissa. I've got fun plans for her because she's always sticking her nose in her brothers' business.

I hope these little teasers have you as excited for the release as they do me!

Carver Ranch and an excerpt from Counting Cowboys.

This fall, my first western romance will be releasing from Beachwalk Press. I'm very excited about this series and have been in edits with this story. I think we're in the last stretch on edits as it gets ready for the next editor. Then it's time for the galley read, and then the finished product. :) I can't wait for this one to be in e-retailers so readers' have a chance to visit Carver Ranch.

With it being September, I've been sitting down and looking at my writing schedule for the rest of the year. It looks like I will be dedicating most of it to Carver Ranch! I'm working on a short story (holiday themed) that will release around the same time time as Counting Cowboys. I'm also working out the outline for the next brother's book. His story is a little more complicated and I have his part figured out, I just haven't quite decided on the heroine. When you meet Nathan in Counting Cowboys, you'll learn he was once involved with a woman who he was sure he was going to marry, and it didn't work out. Hopefully I get this figured out soon and I can have it done and into my editor around November. The holiday season starts soon after that, lots of breaks with the kids out of school. I'm hoping--and it never really works--to take December off! Work on edits if they come my way, but no writing. We all need little breaks here or there, right?

Before I leave, how about a little excerpt from Counting Cowboys.
Note: This is NOT the final copy. It is still in edits and changes are likely to still be made. 

Lauren stared at the papers in front of her, but none of it registered. All she could focus on was the half naked man. The hot, sweaty, tanned man who was now naked in his shower only feet away from her.

She shook her head and rubbed her thighs. Enough. It wasn’t like Tucker was the first sexy man she’d seen. She wasn’t blind or innocent, but something about him got her panties moist quick. Hopefully, she could make it through this accounting meeting without ripping her own clothes off and offering herself up to him. She had no doubt he would be an awesome lover. The man worked with his hands all day; surely he knew a thing or two that could please her.

Seriously, enough.

Lauren straightened her back and stared hard at the stack of papers he’d given her. There were receipts, print outs, and such. Tucker seemed to keep good records, so this would make things easier. She removed her computer from her bag and turned it on. After she pulled up the file for Carver Ranch, she studied it once more to familiarize herself with it.

This was a profitable ranch. Last year had been one of their roughest years, but so far, this year was already better. She was sure once she started to fill in the stuff he’d supplied her with, she’d see they’d come back strong from the previous year.

“Everything there?”

Lauren jumped in her seat.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.”

Tucker, now dressed, came over and sat next to her. Whatever soap he used attacked her senses in a good way. How did someone get out of the shower, yet still smell like fresh cut pines? She shouldn’t do it, but she did anyway. She let her gaze wander over his body. The black t-shirt he wore hugged his wide chest, letting her get the full view of muscles he had.

Lauren looked away quickly. “Yeah, I think this is it.” She flipped through the stack. “You’re free to do whatever while I do this. I know you’ve got a lot to do.”

“Can I get you something to drink?” He stood, and her focus went straight to his crotch.

Oh God, she glanced up quick to see him smirking. The man knew he was sex on stick with his sandy blond hair and blue eyes. “Do you have some tea?”

“Sweet?”

“Uh, yeah.”

He winked. “I’ll be back.”

“Take your time.” The farther away he was, the more she could concentrate on her work. She wasn’t sure what had come over her, but the sooner she got done with this job, the better. Then she wouldn’t have to see him again until next quarter.

It's my party - and I'll sing if I want to - and fall in love!

Sorry about taking the liberty with the song title. I'm sitting her at my computer at 10.49pm on Friday night thinking about what to share...

Then it occurred to me, I've just come back from watching a most amusing play here in town.

The whole story was one boy who is very sure of himself - for all the worst reasons. By the end though, the hero and the heroine had fallen for each other (well, maybe not love, because the story is about two school aged children) and drama triumphs over sport.
It occurs to me, that sometimes we focus on the hard muscled guy as the hero of our stories, leaving the cerebral types to languish...

Well, maybe not all the time, but I think you get my meaning.

I like a buff guy, but I also like my men (heroes) to be thinkers and doers. Take for instance, Tomi Ito from my upcoming book, Executing Justice. Sure he's a planner, and super intelligent. He's also the Senior Senator for Reunion.

This is a family of over achievers who marry partners who are also at the top of their game.
I thought I'd leave off tonight with a tiny snippet of Executing Justice - out June 16 2014.

Blurb:

The end game is looming, but whether the last of the Ito family will find his happily ever after is in the balance.

Tomi Ito must deal with the knowledge that the woman he's loved forever, Gillian Edgemont, thinks he's abandoned her in her time of need. But when he's abducted, she's there to help save him.

Gillian is running from the wreck of her life and the unrequited passion she holds for her former boss, Senator Tomi Ito. When he follows her to Vega II so does the danger that's been dogging the Ito family.

As the finale looms, does it include a future for Tomi and Gillian? Or will it all turn to ashes?

Excerpt:

Even as Gillian scanned the view, she noted that the pilot slipped a headpiece over his ear so he could communicate with the rescue worker. She wished she knew who was in the water, but his words were too low to overhear.

In the main cabin, she could hear bangs and groaning equipment. The scene on the view screen changed to the belly of their craft. She could see a man dangling in the air, and in the water, someone clutching another person. She said a silent prayer that one of them was Tomi.

Tension rose in the cabin, thick and heady. The rescuer plunged into the cold waters. A harness was handed over and gripped while the officer dealt with the other. From the movements, Gillian could tell that the person was panicked. Slowly, the first harness rose and she could tell it wasn't Tomi, as the person had long hair and bare legs. She sucked in a breath as the second person in the water was assisted into another harness, then he or she rose with the rescuer. Even though she craned, the outline of the officer obscured her view. She sucked in an unsteady breath, clenched her hands together, and waited.

When Gillian was sure she could last no longer, the door opened with a bang. She quickly looked up, anticipation sizzling along every nerve ending.

There in the doorway was Tomi, wet and shivering, but very much alive. In his arms was a woman, bedraggled and dirty, but he held her so tenderly that any hopes or dreams Gillian harbored melted away. There was never any hope for her and the feelings that burned in her chest.

Without a word, Gillian turned away and fought the sting of tears in her eyes. She noted the sounds of joyous reunion between brother and sister, but she kept her gaze averted, to give them privacy, she piously told herself. When the pilot ordered them strapped in, she breathed a silent sigh of relief. She knew that this torture, him being so close but now forever so far away, would come to an end sooner rather than later.

Just as she was sure she'd be spared, Tomi spoke. "Gillian, thank you for coming to find me."

The clog of tears filled her throat, but she managed to croak, "It was nothing."

"It means a lot to me." He reached out and touched her hand, and she bit back the gasp that rose.

Nerves in her hand jumped and thrummed, but she ignored them. "Honestly, I'm just pleased I could help." She glanced in his direction, taken aback by the directness in his gaze before the woman beside him shuddered. He scooped her closer and Gillian turned away.

Tantalizing Tuesday-War's End

Forced apart by war five years ago, Renjiro and Selina have another chance at love. Can they make it work or does fate have other plans?

Welcome to another Tantalizing Tuesday. Allow me to turn up the heat with a sexy excerpt and hopefully leave you hungry for more. This is from Imogene Nix's next release, War's End, coming out on March 17th with Beachwalk Press. Enjoy.

Sneak Peek: 

"Sit down." Renjiro's terse words filled Selina with pain and sadness.

She acceded to his request in silence, holding her throbbing hand against her breast. He squatted before her, his face close to hers, his dark eyes shadowed. His touch was gentle as his fingers traced the line of her jaw. They shook a little and she felt the glancing caress. It warmed her.

He touched a raw spot on her chin and she hissed involuntarily.

"Where else are you injured?"

Selina shook her head.

"Captain Codecko? Selina?"

His gentle words nearly undid her. Tears burned in her eyes and she blinked, hoping to banish them. It didn't work though. They dripped down her face, scalding her frozen cheeks.

Now his hands dropped to her shoulders. "Where else are you hurt, Selina?" His gaze was hypnotic. It drew her words without thought.

"My hand, ribs, and the top of my head."

He frowned and started tugging at her shirt, pulling it free of the loose-fitting pants.

"What… What are you doing?"

He glanced at her, his face taut and strained. "I'm checking your injuries."

Selina blushed, the heat creeping over her face as she pushed at his hands. "No! You can't do that!"

"Just bloody watch me." His rough words surprised her and her hands dropped away. He continued his almost feverish work at her buttons and very quickly he had the shirt open. Selina thanked whatever had made her fasten a bra over her very tiny breasts. With gentle movements, he brushed the old material of her shirt to one side. He hissed through clenched teeth at what he saw. "You need a medic."

"I'm fine. I've lived through this before. Of greater concern to me is whether I'm going to be charged for causing the riot. I was just—"

"I know. Having a quiet drink. We checked the spy eyes. You will be free to go, so long as we can put together a suitable argument. But I have a proposition. One that would help you, I think."

In her experience, propositions never ended well, but she was desperate enough to listen to what he had to say. So she watched in mute silence as he rose. He backed away as she quickly refastened her shirt. Then he paced to the end of the room and back.

"I've just received a communiqué that there's some Indies about to plan an attack on this moon base. I need people I can trust to get information for me."

She waited. But as he started pacing again, it seemed she would need to ask the question. "What's in it for me?"

He stilled.

Selina held her breath. Waiting.

"I might be able to swing an official citizenship for you."

Just like that, he could brush away all the difficulties she had faced since the end of the war. But trusting people didn't come easily. Not for her. "You can just click your fingers and make that happen?"

He faced her again. His eyes shone almost feverishly bright under the lighting of the room. "No. But I know someone who might be able to make it happen, if you agree."

"Why? Why would you help me?"

He smiled. "Because I owe you."

Blurb:

Forced apart by war five years ago, Renjiro and Selina have another chance at love. Can they make it work or does fate have other plans?

Without the citizenship of the Federation, Indy pilot Selina Codecko is treated like a second-class citizen. When she gets caught up in a bar brawl she's arrested and finds herself in the hands of the Justice Officers.

Renjiro Ito has dreamed of Selina for five long years. As the Commander of the Justice Officers, the plight of this one woman will turn his life upside down.

But there's more going on than just the fate of one woman—there's a seething underbelly that wants to destroy their newly expanded Federation. The chances of a future together are slim, but they'll take any chances that come their way. Will it be enough?
