Blurb
She ran away from the town that wouldn’t forget, to a city that doesn’t forgive, right into the arms of the guy who insists she set things right.
Less than a year ago, Hayley Jones made a scandalous decision that sent her packing. She left her country hometown, moved to the city and made a new life for herself. But it’s hard being someone else when the real you has some unfinished business.
Hayley knows taking care of the unresolved piece of her past could stir up more trouble and humiliation, so she dodges the truth and puts her energy into her new friends and job. That strategy works for a short while but people from her past start showing up in her present.
Life gets even more complicated when she realizes she’s falling for Nick Noel, a guy who knows she’s running from something, and continually challenges her to be herself. But Hayley is afraid of what will happen if Nick finds out who she really is and what she did back home.
Excerpt
My wide-eyed stare catches Clifford’s eye and he grins as he straightens and takes a deep breath that makes his chest swell. “Coach works us pretty hard.”
For the first time that night, I’m the one with nothing to say.
All that rock-hard, heated muscle sitting right there on my couch. Waiting for me.
He kisses me again, this time without asking, and slides his hand back under my dress. Farther up this time, until his hand is curved around my ass. Not one to waste an opportunity, I gradually glide my hands across his thick back. Each time he moves his arms, the giant muscles shift under my fingers making me even dizzier with lust.
He tangles his fingers in the thin waistband of my black thong and I lift my hips. He mumbles something that is probably a comment of approval, because he works the scrap of lace down far enough to touch my clit. His pressure is light at first, but when I begin moving against his fingers he gradually applies more pressure.
This guy has experience making girls feel good.
Damn good.
I don’t have a minute to waste so I tug at his pants and briefs. I’m all over him and the couch, bent around in a bunch of different positions as he shifts forward to push his clothes down and out of the way. Then his cock is standing there and it’s huge and hard, just like the rest of him.
He’s still caressing me with his thumb and I don’t want him to stop. I figure the best way to keep him doing what he’s doing is to make him feel good too so I bob down and put the tip of his shaft between my lips. The salty skin is tight and
smooth, and I take my time licking every inch to get him good and wet before covering him completely with my mouth. I do my best to get one of my hands on his bare ass, squeezing and stroking all the solid muscles I can find.

Guys can be confusing. So true, right?
As a writer, I want to be sure my male characters talk and act like real men so I often do research--talk to men, watch men, think about men. You know, the basic stuff. Sometimes even that isn’t enough. Sometimes I have to be direct, like a guy. For me that means asking questions. I was talking to a guy friend of mine about how to make sure my male characters sound like real men and our conversation turned to the stuff guys says to girls when they want to say something nice but don’t want to come across as a rude jerk who’s only interested in her body.
Here’s what he told me.
If a guy says:
that’s a pretty sweater
He means:
you have pretty breasts
If he says:
those are awesome boots/shoes
He means:
you have awesome legs
If he says:
those are great jeans
He means:
you have a great ass
Ok. That’s not the whole list. There were others including potential compliments including her jacket, blouse, skirt, turtleneck, tank top, khakis, gloves, hat, scarf—and others I’ve already forgotten.
I do remember though, when I asked him if there were any coded compliments about other things—other things being anything other than the woman’s body—and him drawing a complete blank. I prompted him with, you know, like maybe if they want to say something about her personality.
Again another blank.
Hmmm. I guess that coded speech does serve its purpose.
Decoding some guys can be a challenge but most of the time its worth the effort.
Hayley, the main character in my new novel, Unfinished Business, is looking for a guy. Why? She’s thinking some hedonistic, no-strings-attached sex is the answer to her identity crisis. Enter Clifford, a football player for the local university…
