The 90 Day Rule (20 page)

“I do have one request though, if you won’t mind.”

A request…

“I’d like to have the wedding at the ranch with my brother and sisters and the whole family. They do a BBQ to make the entire county proud.”

Jack pulled me close and said, “I know this is all too fast and you have every right to say no or slow down or go jump off a bridge. I, I just had to get it out. All of it.”

His lips brushed mine, so tenderly I nearly cried. When I pulled away, I looked around the small space and it felt like home. And I knew in my bones, with Jack, I’d never be alone again.

I turned and stared out the window.

“Hon?”

“I dunno, Tex. I’m hearing a whole lotta talking, not much doing.”

He chuckled. “So what do you want me to do?”

“Well, for starters, I’m thinking I’d like to get a look at that club you’re talking about.”

“The club.” He smirked. “And what happens after that?”

My caveman followed me onto the deck and flipped the lid off the hot tub. We settled in, soaking up the warmth.

He persisted, “Well?”

“Oh, you just leave that up to me.”

“And why’s that?”

“Just because…”

“Kinda sounds like another one of your rules to me.”

I thought,
I love you, Jack. Without question, without reservation. And from now on … rules? We don’ need no stinkin’ rules.

As I floated over, he drilled me with a penetrating stare, hot enough to curl my toes.

Mercy, I do so admire a man with a big club.

THE CONFERENCE

 

 

Barry’s the Golden Boy with a killer corporate style and a former running back build.

 

Sam’s the techno-nerd with soft brown eyes and a smile that melts glass.

 

Sanji’s the world class soccer star, model, man-about-the-continent,

and the face of Raji Enterprises.

 

In a tropical paradise in the Bermuda Triangle, corporate giants come to a business conference to wheel and deal. The stakes: a half billion dollar prospectus with shares up for negotiation.

 

Maggie’s the systems analyst whose expertise will seal the deal. Confident in her numbers,

but not in herself, Maggie becomes an unaccustomed center of attention

and the unwitting victim in a game of corporate one-upsmanship.

 

The question is: what will it take to get the negotiations back on track?

 

With three men vying for her favors, can Maggie afford the distraction—a distraction

giving new meaning to the term
hot and sultry
?

CHOPTANK BLUES AND OTHER STORIES

 

 

It begins with a memory … the slap of waves, a melody of despair, the future we might fear,

the past we’ll ne’er forget.

 

The imagined world is rich and filled with promise.

 

But then there’s the real world with its unspoken truths, the life lessons learned

when speech fails and all that’s left is trust.

 

Some themes are mature, even challenging. Others shed light in dark spaces.

 

 

Available from Amazon and other booksellers.
