It's Live! Their Ex's Redrock Dawn is here!
Sweetness
could slay him
It was like a nightmare, until
Carly saw the big badass biker with the crystal blue eyes throwing such
bitterness her way she could barely breathe.
Then he saved her even as they
clashed like a fire spiked with alcohol, until they fell into bed together.
She found him.
He found her.
Then Carly’s ex tried to kill her
and Zeb had to lay it on the line for her.
Carly knows what the look in Zeb
light blues means. He’s interested,
bossy, and so hot she’ll burn up in his arms.
But Carly’s crazy ex-bastard
thinks he is a champion bull rider, while Zeb’s flaky-ex thinks she’s going to
win the next Miss America and love in a small town just got a touch dangerous
but there are some badasses around who are ready to throw their alpha-ness at
anything coming.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I loved writing it! Any reviews posted would be greatly appreciated and help other readers find the awesomeness of Redrock. Shirl : )

Available Now! Their Ex's Redrock FOUR (Texas Alpha, Erotic Romance)
How bossy does Tess like Vincent? Not bossy enough to stay
away from the concert their cheating spouses are putting on. Where both their
cheating ex’s finally learn Tess and Vincent are together and their marriages
to them are history.
Then Tess and Vincent see about piecing together their own
happily ever after. But first Vincent’s got to see Tess in that freaking hot
dress one more time ... just for him. Then will he be able to keep her out of
his bed like he vowed. Until they can figure each other out and where what they
have tigether is going...
Probably not.
_____________________________________________
Excerpt:
It was noon when Tess heard the bell on the door
ring to her shop. She swiped at her eyes, looking up to see Vincent striding
toward the front counter. Wow … he was in her shop, she should be excited.
“Beautiful, what is it?” Dang, she couldn’t hide
anything from him. She glanced over her shoulder to see that Shannon was in the
walk-in cold locker as Vincent rounded the counter and arrived next to her. For
a second she thought about fibbing, because he had enough problems with Luna.
But Vincent curled her into his embrace and the
words just fell out of her mouth. “I’ve lost the shop, unless I want to send
Steven to prison.” Then, horribly, she burst into tears and burrowed into
Vincent.
“Let me guess,” he said. “He forged your name
and double mortgaged it.”
She nodded against him, crying harder, while
praying Shannon or even worse a customer wouldn’t walk in. Then Vincent rocked
her world, shaking it to the core and rearranging it.
“It’s you, baby, not the damn building. You’re the business.”
Why that made her cry harder, she didn’t know,
but Vincent took it all with his hand cupped to the back of her head, while
holding her tight. She didn’t know what she’d do without him.
Her sobs finally quieted into the shoulder of
his thermal, wet from her tears. Then he did a pure Vincent thing. “Here, use
the end of my shirt to wipe your eyes.”
That’s how Shannon found them with her pulling
up Vincent’s thermal, exposing his ripped abdomen, while she bent forward as if
she were drooling over his six pack abs.
“Sorry!” Shannon squeaked. She was a tad shy.
Tess unbent from Vincent and the bottom of his
shirt. “It’s okay, Shannon. This is Vincent.”
“Hey, Shannon,” Vincent said, pulling her back
into his side, where his arm crossed her back, then his hand fitted into the
waistband of her jeans skirt.
“Hey, Mr. Whitehorse,” Shannon answered.
Okay, so Shannon did know Vincent. “I’ll be back
in time to close, Shannon. You call if you need anything, okay.”
“Sure, Tess.” Shannon did a small wave, then
marched back into the cooler.
“Good kid,” Vincent said. “Know her dad.”
Ah yes, Tess thought, she remembered then that
Shannon’s dad might work at Redrock. She picked up her purse from under the
front counter, and then Vincent guided her outside. Once in his truck they sat
to talk.
“So if you sell the building, you get out from
under?” he asked quietly.
She sighed heavily, nodding as he reached over
and clasped her hand, and she answered, “It should sell for at least the amount
of the mortgages.” She tilted her head, glancing at him. “I’m surprised you
aren’t advocating I send him to prison.”
Vincent squeezed her hand. “Thought about it.
But it’d break that sweetness you got and I want that for me.”
Oh my god. Tess sucked in an amazed breath. “Okay,” she
whispered. She never thought she could find a man that would make her feel so
good even in the midst of an awful situation.
“Got space at Redrock. For a bigger flower
shop.”
“Vincent!” she gasped, then he pulled her across
the seat, until he had his arm around her and his hand on her chin lifting her
gaze to his. He studied her astonished gaze for long moments.
“Give you a really good break on rent, until you
sell this place.”
“I can’t believe...” she started to say. “You,
you can’t. Not with us … together. It won’t look right and...”
“Hush,” he all but ordered, and her lips pressed
shut. “I’m doing it for me and I can do for me what I want too. But, beautiful,
it’s really good business for Redrock. I know once you calm down, you can see
that.”
Doing for me. Oh my god. Her fingers curled against his side.
Maybe he was right if she could think straight about it. But right then tears
started filling her eyes.
“Aw, baby,” he murmured, and his lips touched
hers lightly.
“For me,” she whispered.
“Yeah,” he breathed against her mouth, then he
kissed her deeper and her tears dried into the beginning heat of passion.
But at just a slow burn, Vincent pulled back,
let go of her chin.

______________________________________________
Excerpt:
Even as he was trying to let her go, give them
space … he didn’t. He brushed her hands aside when she tried to dress herself,
doing it for her … slowly.
“Hands up,” he ordered, and when she complied he
pulled her sports bra over her hands, wrists, then upper arms, where he
stalled. Looking down at her raised breasts feeling the intensity inside him at
having her slightly captive, arms raised and bound. He damn well loved it.
“Christ, Tess,” he muttered. “Things you do to
me.” Then he gathered some of the resolve he used to own and he pulled her
sports bra down to cover her breasts. Her gaze was heated and a bit timid,
wondering about this theme they fell into with his power and her submission.
Submission to him.
Then he knelt on one knee, holding out her
exercise pants for her to step into, with his nose straight across from his
perfect pussy. He damn well liked dressing her … pulling that spandex up her
bare legs, up to her slit and over her hips.
“My thong,” she said.
His gaze turned up to her as he tugged the
spandex to her waist. “Mine now.”
Her light blue eyes drew a darker shade as her
soft lips parted. “I keep losing my panties to you,” she teased.
Yeah, the ones he didn’t keep, he ripped off. He
stood slowly, easing up her body. Then he reached in his back pocket and pulled
out his wallet, flipping it open under her nose. A shiny platinum business
credit card was on the top, which he pulled free, turning it too her. “Buy
more. Skimpy. Sexy. Lots. I’ll get your name put on the card.”
Her gaze lifted to him, with those blue eyes
widening. “Vincent?” She shook her head lightly. “Oh, I couldn’t.”
His gaze narrowed and he grabbed one of her
hands placing the card in her palm. “Anything touching my pretty pussy I’m
paying for.”
She gulped as he closed her fingers over the
card. “Wow,” she whispered.
He chuckled. “Babe. Most women would be
snatching that from me, while trying to dick the amount I offered higher.” He
clasped her nape. “You are not most women.” Tess was still staring at the card
as he chuckled again, and murmured, “Breathe, baby.”
She sucked in a breath and he tilted her chin
up. “You getting me naughty panties to look at?”
She nodded. “Okay.”
“Good,” he offered. “Let’s sit.” He guided her
to the chair, where he pulled her onto his lap again. “Any bras or lingerie
comes with that. I’m good.”
Her arms wrapped around him with his card still
clutched in one hand. “Thank you, honey,” she murmured, then she dipped to kiss
him. The kind of lip action that told him she really liked him, and she really
liked going out shopping for sexy things to wear for him. It was very good.

Their Ex's Redrock Two Available Now!
Vincent and Tess are supposed to stay away from each other. They both agreed. Their cheating spouses are too crazy. Tess doesn't know Vincent has been there, watching out for her. She doesn't know Vincent runs Redrock the local Indian casino that just called her to do a last minute florist job.
But she can't take her eyes off Vincent once she arrives at Redrock ... that is until both their spouses show up. Cruel and unusual punishment. Vincent's cheating wife is model gorgeous and Tess' cheating husband ignores her like they’re not married.
Vincent is forced to play a game with his soon to be ex, to get her off the board of his charities, before he cuts her loose for good. He needs to stay away from Tess, but when he sees tears in Tess’ eyes and feels her in his embrace again, all bets are off.
Then his crazy wife breaks them apart, again ... but Vincent has had a taste of sweet and he’s determined to have more. Can he convince Tess, against all odds, to believe in him when things around them seem unbelievable?

_________________________________________
Excerpt:
Tess drove toward Redrock casino out on the far
side of town. She’d been called late that day by Redrock’s community event
director. Then she'd been hired over the phone as a last minute plea. It seemed
there was a wedding going on that night in one of the big banquet rooms at
Redrock and they had flowers, but no one to arrange them.
Tess was still unclear how that had come down,
but one; she couldn’t let anyone get married on their special day without
lovely flowers, and two; it was too big an ‘in’ into more business from
Redrock. Besides she had nothing planned for the evening except sitting in a very
big, very well furnished condo by herself.
“Except maybe feeling sorry for myself,” she
muttered, pulling out on the highway to take the short drive to the Indian
casino.
Her husband wasn’t acting as if he even cared
that she wasn't living at their house anymore. She thought he rarely came home
either. But she couldn’t take the chance going back to live at home, because
Steven could show up anytime. Lately, she’d been thinking maybe just
complaining to Steven about money and such might be enough to get a lawyer and
start divorce proceedings. Steven was so preoccupied at the moment with his
newest lay ... it might be the very best time. Then, she could be free.
She nibbled on her bottom lip wondering what
Steven might have done if he ever found out she’d been with Vincent. Steven
could act like she didn’t exist, yet the second he thought another man might
take his place, he started paying attention and acting creepily possessive. She
thought it might be those mysterious associates he’d hooked up with, which she
thought acted weirdly like mob guys.
But she didn’t think there were mob guys
nowadays. Besides why would mob guys be into a low-tier, wannabe talent agent?
Tess would be more inclined to think those mob guys would have been more
interested in Steven’s former job of being a securities trader and fund
manager. But now he was around those guys, she bet Steven didn’t want to look
weak to them and that's what was spurring on any selective possessiveness he
felt toward her.
She was nearly to the casino when her cell rang,
startling her out of her intense thoughts. She used the hands-free button on
her dash to answer it.
“Tess Navarro? This is the events coordinator
for Redrock, Mary Runninghorse.”
Tess greeted her, then listened to Mary saying,
“Just valet park out front. There will be someone to walk you back.”
Mary said goodbye rather quickly before Tess
could get more details, such as who to look for.
“Darn,” Tess muttered, pulling up through the
valet parking lane. She just hoped they had some fresh flowers so she could
make a good impression. She parked, grabbed her shoulder purse, then got out to
hand her keys to the attendant with a smile. He was just tearing off the claim
ticket, to hand her, when her gaze rose. Vincent.
She felt her belly tighten as she watched Vincent getting out of his parked truck.
An instant kick of excitement shivered through her.
Distractedly, she took the claim ticket as she
tried to figure out why Vincent got away parking where he had, and then she
wondered if she had enough time to avoid being seen by him. Or if she wanted too.
Of course she wanted to see him, desperately. She constantly fought the
feelings. However seeing him right then was too quick to erect any walls, and
Vincent turned straight toward her as if he knew she was there.
She pulled in another breath at how virile and
extremely hot he was as he took long strides toward her. Her memory hadn’t been
wrong about his pure masculine attractiveness, and his wife was a complete
idiot for wanting Steven over him. Vincent wore a black cowboy hat, tip back on
his brow. The hat tamed his shoulder length hair down around his neck like an
inky black fall. He wore faded jeans and a long sleeved, black tee that had “Redrock”
printed across his chest in red lettering with slashes of silver behind it. He
had on a big, silver belt buckle and when he got closer she saw a flying hawk
embossed in the silver.
His black boots brought him towering over her
with his gaze intense. It licked fire through her the moment their eyes met.
“Boss,” the valet attendant said beside her.
Tess scrunched her nose wondering what that meant as she watched Vincent nod to
him. “Keep her car close, Daniel.”
“Okay, boss,” Daniel, the valet attendant
replied, then he scooted around and got into her car.
“Hey,” Vincent said, looking down on her as his
hand settled on her waist as though it belonged there.
“Hey,” she replied tipping her gaze up to him,
too confused to come up with more to say.
But internally, her concentration was latched to
his wide, really warm hand curling over the indent of her waist. It was as if
he had to touch her when they were this close and she immediately felt their
connection. His dark eyes spoke of intimate things between them ... sexy,
naughty, and wild things and she blushed, thrilled to see him. Too thrilled,
because soon they’d have to force themselves apart again.
When she blushed, his hand squeezed her waist as
if he knew she was thinking about them having wild sex together. “Too fucking
sweet,” his voice rumbled, and he said it like a curse, moving her forward.
“Come on.”
She automatically followed him as if she
couldn’t disobey him. Ever. But then she realized … “Um, I have a job to do
here...” she started to say.
He interrupted her, “I know.” Then he pulled one
of the casino’s large front doors open. She walked past and he followed,
keeping his hand on her waist as he opened the next set of doors for her. “You
know?” she questioned.
Casino sounds filled the air and the lighting
was dim like in all casinos. She slowed to a stop looking up at him. His hat
came off but his hand didn’t move from her waist, while his gaze swept her
face.
“Hey, boss.” Tess looked over Vincent's broad
shoulder at a young, cashier runner, smiling at Vincent, who looked over his
shoulder at her.
“Hey, Becky. Keep it tight.”
“Right boss.” Becky nodded and moved away.
“Evening, Mr. Whitehorse.” This came from behind
Tess.
Vincent nodded to a security guard, who passed
by.
Tess turned back, and grabbed a fistful of
Vincent tee by his waist, feeling the ripple of his six-pack abs beneath.
“Boss? You’re the boss.” It was not a question, it was a demand.
“Kinda,” he said, then he used his hand on her
waist to move her forward and she lost her grip on his tee. Oh, he so
was the boss. That meant her impromptu job was very suspect.
“This is not staying away from each other,” she
accused.
He moved her through rows of slot machines with
people pushing buttons and some looking as if they were hugging their machines.
She was not a gambler so the rows of machines looked like rows of tricked-out
arcade games to her.
“Redrock can get flowers done by anyone. Why not
you?” Vincent’s voice was close to her ear, where he’d leaned down to be heard.
The rumble of his voice stroked her in places she’d have to appease later with
her lonely vibrator. Damn him.
She caught his tee again as they walked, keeping
his mouth close as she turned her head slightly. “Because we shouldn’t be
together,” she whispered fiercely. Because any second she was going to veer him
off their path and mouth lock him. “Playing with fire,” she blurted.
“Just trying to help you, beautiful,” he
replied.

Excerpt from Their Ex's Redrock One (Available Dec 20th) Tomorrow!
“That your husband up there?”
She moaned and nodded. A growl
rumbled from his chest. He thought she had to be, the way she’d come up on
them, and the way she’d looked before he grabbed her from warning them they
were caught.
“We'll talk,” he uttered,
dragging her down the hotel walkway away from the balcony. What were the odds
he’d meet the wife of the bastard that was screwing his wife?
He was the husband! Tess was gobsmacked as the tall man wearing a black
duster and cowboy hat placed her in his big, extended cab pickup that was
parked on the other side of the parking lot from “the deed.” She couldn’t think
the real words of what it was.
She was shaking and wet as she
watched him crossing in front of his truck, going to the driver’s side. He got
in, and she exclaimed, “I’m wet.” Her teeth clattered as she tried to control
them, and explain. “I’ll ruin your seat.”
“Don’t care.” His voice was a low
rumbly burr that she oddly felt in all her secret girly places, but his voice
was also tight, as in controlled. His wet hat came off, hitting the seat
between them. From the lights of the parking lot, Tess saw he had a long
angular nose, black hair that was long enough to hang slightly over his collar,
and he had pinpoints in his undetermined eye color, when he glanced at her. His
long fingers reached for the heater knob and he turned it on high. Just then
lightning struck and she yelped, clutching the armrest on her door.
“Name?” he asked, with an
apparent clipped way of speaking.
His truck started, and her voice
was shaking when she answered, “Tess Navarro.”
He hissed a breath, and the sound
made her think he’d heard the name.
“Vincent Whitehorse,” he offered
as his long arm reach to the back of the seat, and he turned his head to look,
while backing the truck.
Her breath caught and her eyes
widened — she didn’t miss the incredible masculine hotness making up his rugged features. She could have hissed a
breath too over his name, because she’d heard of Whitehorse Training and
Security Facility. She sent them out flowers she couldn’t use in her flower
shop that were good, but getting too old to sell. She liked the theme of WTSF
that was helping to save single teens, young women, and young moms, by training
them to kick ass, and then getting them into trade jobs or school.
Tess had heard a lot of the jobs
were security or bond chaser type work. But she’d seen WTSF personal on the
local community college campus passing out flyers. She’d also seen them around
town doing various fund raisers for their charity work. She wondered if he was the Whitehorse of WTSF or just a
relation. But the more important question tumbled from her mouth, as he took
the access road down the side of the highway.
“Did you know?”
He looked as if he was holding rein
on a sizeable amount of anger. Which she got. It made his features look
chiseled and even more masculine, if that was possible, and she was feeling the
distinct flutter inside her for the awareness of a man she thought strikingly
attractive.
“Guessed,” he uttered. She kept
staring at him as he clipped more words. “Knew. Done it before.”
“Oh,” she whined, dropping her
gaze, then she mumbled, “Mine too. Once, I know of.”
“Fuckers,” he growled.
Yeah, Tess wanted to growl that word too, and more she wanted to
ask why she wasn’t enough for Steven.
What was wrong with her? And what
kind of idiot was Vincent’s wife screwing around on a hot man like Vincent. Her
husband, Steven, wasn’t "all man" in the hard, virile, and ripped
category. He was okay, but not even close to Vincent Whitehorse’s edgy, badass
kind of hunkiness.
Wow.
