“Does That Blush Go All Over, Honey?”
Joey’s grin was too conceited for words. “Let me see.”
He yanked at Heather’s blanket, but gently, just to tease her. She held on ferociously.
“You’re in a different mood this morning, my pet,” he said.
“I’m not...your pet...”
“Last night you were most...affectionate. You couldn’t get enough of me. You were...we were...well, pretty incredible.”
Her gut twisted in fresh shame. “I don’t believe you.”
“Fine. Suit yourself.” He chuckled, but her words had wiped that tender eagerness from his gaze. “Your head hurts, I’ll bet. You probably don’t remember much.... Lucky for you, I remember everything. So, if you get curious, I could describe our night together in the most vivid detail. In fact, I’d love to do so.”
She clamped her hands over her ears. “I’m living in a nightmare.... How could you sink so low as to seduce me?”
“You have it all backwards. You seduced me. For your information, I put up one hell of a fight defending my...er...virtue.”

Dear Reader,
I love writing for the MAN OF THE MONTH promotional miniseries in Silhouette Desire, and I’m especially honored that my hero Joey Fasano is Desire’s 125th MAN OF THE MONTH!
If I could have three wishes, one of them would be to hop into my man’s brain, so I could figure out once and for all what makes him do and say all those illogical things that drive me crazy. Writing from the male point of view is the next best thing.
I think I get a little carried away with this sometimes. I tend to invent heroes who are larger-than-life, difficult and pushy. My guys love deeply and completely, especially when they don’t want to. They have trouble with the “no” word. They want what they want, and they go after it. In short, they are every bit as maddeningly adorable as the real man in my life.
No-fantasy haunts me more than the man from the past showing up on the heroine’s doorstep and turning her life topsy-turvy.
My hero in this latest story, Joey Fasano, bad boy turned movie star, has become a force unto himself. He’s never forgotten Heather, his first love, and once he sees her again, he realizes how empty his life and soul are without her. He can’t go on, if he doesn’t win her. Such a love is worth fighting for.
I hope you enjoy Joey and Heather’s story.
Best,
