Excerpt:
Nicholas paused mid-turn at the
mention of her name. Amaranth was in his office. Completing the rotation, he
took in her appearance. The worn photo he had held onto for so long didn’t do
her any justice. She was still a breath of fresh air, but time had matured her
girlish features into the breathtaking vision that stared back at him. Her face
was stern and proclaimed she wasn’t at his office for a reunion. A sense of foreboding
arrested him. Her eyes sparkled with fire as she made her way over to where he
stood in front of the window. She wore a simple beige tank with a red bolero
jacket and a pair of dark jeans that gripped every part of her curvaceous lower
half. Crimson suede stilettos left wicked images dancing in his head. Nicholas
cleared his throat and met her the rest of the way.
“Hello, Am.” Out of nowhere, her
hand connected with the side of his face with a stinging crack. “Well, that
wasn’t the kind of welcome I envisioned receiving from you,” he said as he ran
a finger along the corner of his mouth. Because she was shorter than him by a
good foot, the palm of her hand connected with part of his mouth and cheek. And
boy did she pack some power behind it.
“My apologies for my lack of
fanfare. I left the balloons and ticker tape at home,” she said.

Many thanks to Avid Reader for hosting my debut novel, Need You Now. To answer the question about my favorite author, that would have to be Judith McNaught. Although there are many great authors that I love, NcNaught was the one who influenced and set ablaze my desire to write.
Carole, I am so sorry. Auto-correct is my enemy. I meant to say good luck.
A great storyline & I love the cover.
