Welcome friends old and new. I’m glad you came. Today, I’m sharing from my just released debut, TAKING CHANCES. It’s available now!
Taking Chances is the first in a series of books I’m calling The Love Projects. Taking Chances is the story of Lydia and Jake. The blurb and cover are below. LAST WEEK: Lydia got ready to spend the day working with Jake. THIS WEEK: As promised, we’re checking in with Jake.
How had this woman grabbed his attention? She was the type you didn’t notice often, except her frequent trips to refill her coffee mug. This morning might have been the first time he heard her sweet voice.
Now all he could think about were the other things he had never noticed before, such as the length of her long, brown hair and the intensity shining in her hazel eyes. He could get a nice grip and pull her hair as he fucked her from behind.
Get control of yourself, man. There will be no fucking. It was a pity, because the curve of her beautiful, full behind would look amazing with the red impression of his hand.
.
Yeap, just as I thought. They’re both in trouble. She caught him with her sweet voice and … <~ You can <tweet that> if you want. Next week, I’ll get them in the same room and we’ll see if they can get any work done. 😉

BLURB:
Lydia’s father walked away from her when she was eight. She’s struggled to not let him affect her, but fears she wasn’t loveable enough to make him stay. Jake wants to
love one woman, but after scaring the last woman he met outside of the club, he doubts he has the right. She protects her heart by sticking with her fantasies, and he lives by a set of rules that excludes women who choose a vanilla lifestyle.
The two will be kept in a conference room working together until their special project is complete. If Lydia and Jake hold tight to their bland lives, they’ll always yearn for love that is out of reach. But together they can find common ground, passion, and a reason to take chances. Once they discover the grand possibilities of the love they desire, they find themselves in the very place they tried never to be again, facing unguaranteed love.
I’m holding a GIVEAWAY through the end of September to celebrate my debut.

What a day for a daydreaming boy…
Nice 8!
I know, right? lol. Thanks. 🙂
Oooh, he’s such a naughty one! Can’t wait to read more. 🙂 Congrats again on your book release!
Thank you!! He’s just getting started, Donna. 😉
Love seeing his non-vanilla thoughts. Great 8!
Oh good because he has lots of those. 🙂
Wow such deliciously wicked thoughts. Nice to meet you, Jake! lol
lol! He’d say the same in return, Karen 🙂
I like being inside his brain:)
Oh, I do too, Eleri. He’s a lot of fun. 🙂
Ooh, love his introspection and his burgeoning…um, awareness of her as a desirable woman.
Yeap, definitely burgeoning, lol. He’s going to have to deal with that too. So much fun. 🙂
So she was attracted first and he’s a step behind—pun totally intended. Very interesting! 😉
Yes, Jake has been missing out. It was about time this author took some action and it’s working out perfectly. 🙂
I hope that conference room has a door that can be locked from the inside… And good soundproofing..
Such an intriguing story. If ever two people were actually made for each other…enjoyed “hearing” his thoughts today – great 8!
Oh, man. If his thoughts are this hot, those two are really going to set fire to the sheets (or the floor or the table or wherever, lol) when they get together! Smokin!
Sexy and hot!
Wicked!! 🙂
Yeah, that self-control’s going to last… Doesn’t he know that telling yourself you’re never going to do something doesn’t mean you won’t.
Sounds like he’s setting himself up for losing. Good for him. 😀 Nicely done, SJ.
Oh boys will be boys…loved getting a glimpse into his thoughts.
I like Jake being smitten with this woman. It’s so realistic, and I’ve been there myself. Great 8!
Sexy snippet, let him fantasize and we’ll enjoy his frustration!
I like the internal thought telling him its not going to happen, but I’m sure it will. Sexy fantasy scene.:)
History Sleuth’s Milk Carton Murders
Great snippet, S.J. I liked this from his POV. It’s always fascinating going inside a man’s brain. 😉
And I have to add, the comments are wonderful! lol
He definitely think like a guy. I’m always amazed when I hear them think.
