Celestial Desire (12 page)

A Note from Abbie

 

This is a work of fiction, but domestic violence is a very real problem. According to
www.safehorizon.org
:

  • 25% of women will experience some form of domestic violence in their lifetimes. And attacks on men account for nearly 3 million assaults in the US.
  • Domestic violence is a leading cause of homelessness.
  • Children who witness domestic violence are more likely to be susceptible to abuse as adults, or become abusers themselves.
  • Domestic violence costs run upwards of $37 billion per year in combined legal, medical, and law enforcement costs.

If you or someone you know is the victim of domestic violence, there is help available. Visit
www.safehorizon.org
or any one of many available sites for more information.

Like short romantic comedies…
 

… with strong female heroines and former military heroes?  Check out this excerpt from
The Realist

 

 

“Earth to Rissa.”  Travis’ deep voice rolled through me like a wave, tugging me away from my reflections.  His shortened address felt warm, intimate.  No one had ever called me that before.  “If you’re finished ogling me, I’m going to head back to my place.”

I felt the heat rise in my face.  Yes, I had been ogling him, but I’d zoned out for the last couple of minutes.  I don’t know what bothered me more – the fact that he’d caught me in the act or that I’d wasted several minutes of prime ogling time.

“I’m done,” I said casually, waving my hand in a shooing gesture.  “You can go now.”

He grinned cockily.  “Lasagne.”

“What?”

“That’s what I want for dinner.  Lasagne.  With lots of meat and that chunky homemade sauce of yours.”

I blinked, looking at him blankly.

“Our deal,” he reminded me.  “You get manual labor.  I get food.  Your roof is fixed.  And I’m hungry for lasagne.”

“Right,” I nodded.  I knew that.  I did.

He leaned down and petted Ripper, the mangy stray who had become my shadow.  The scent of clean male sweat and heat-activated deodorant tickled my nose and I discreetly filled my lungs with it.

“I’ll be back around sundown.  And Rissa?”

“Yeah?”

“Don’t stare at my ass while I’m walking away.  It’s objectifying.”

I openly gaped at him, but he just winked and strutted – yes, strutted – out of my kitchen like a big male peacock. 

I showed him, though.  I stared at his ass the whole way.

About the Author
 

Abbie Zanders loves to read and write romance in all forms; she is quite obsessive, really. Her ultimate fantasy is to spend all of her free time doing both, preferably in a secluded mountain cabin overlooking a pristine lake, though a private beach on a lush tropical island works, too. Sharing her work with others of similar mind is a dream come true. She promises her readers two things: no cliffhangers, and there will always be a happy ending. Beyond that, you never know…
