Here is the continuation from last week's excerpt. Fortune-500 CEO Karen Donahue is stuck in the middle of the road after her car died on the most important day of her life. Tension is running high and she is ready to let the mechanic have it when he finally arrives. Except for one thing: he's tall, dark and HOT with a capital H. Watch as sparks fly.

“Can I get the keys?”
Boy, he didn’t mince words, did he? “Sure.” I reached in to my coat pocket. “Where’s Kevin?”
His blue eyes narrowed as he looked at me. “If you’re talking about my brother, his name is Corbin.”
“Oh, Corbin!” I exclaimed, slapping my hand on my leg. So that was it.
“Yeah, normally he handles the service calls, but he said something about not being in the mood to deal with entitled rich girls. Something along those lines.”
His words caused me to flush even brighter and I ducked my head to hide my burning cheeks. So he’d heard about that. 
“But I don’t see any of those here, do you, Ms. Donahue?”
“No, Sir.” The reply came to me instantaneously, though I was even more embarrassed--if that were possible--once the words left my lips. 

I hope you're as excited for the V-day anthology as I am! It will feature Patty Devlin, Maren Smith, Robin Smith, and Maddie Taylor. And, of course, my book "Love Hurts"! Release date is set for January 29th, so mark your calendars!
Check out the talented authors participating this week!

Do I ever have a treat for you all! We have a Valentine's anthology coming out in just a little while, and by we I mean myself, Maddie Taylor, Patty Devlin, and Maren and Robin Smith! We have five sweet, sexy and downright naughty stories for you, offered in one collection at a reduced price! So be on the look out for our anthology, "With Hearts Aflame".
Now, for my Sat Spanks I have an excerpt from my story, "Love Hurts".

Karen Donahue is intimidating, but she has to be. The youngest CEO of a Fortune 500, her job is stress personified. She's used to being in charge and if she doesn't always like it, well, it's part of the job. And if she's a little bit of a brat, it's just because she works so hard.
An excuse that is not good enough for Brandon Fuller.
After Karen's car breaks down, he comes to the rescue only to be chewed out by the fiery, hot-tempered brat. He informs her that he won't fix her car unless she accepts a spanking for her behavior and having broken her phone during her last tantrum, she has little choice but to accept. What she's not prepared for is how much she'll enjoy discovering the pain that often accompanies pleasure.

“Fuller Brothers,” a voice answered on the other line.
“I need someone. Now,” I replied.
“OK, Ma’am, can you describe what’s going on with the vehicle?” he asked.
“No, I can’t,” I snapped at--what was his name? Curtis? Cameron? I never could remember. “That’s what I pay you for. Now get your ass over here.”
I hung up and promptly slammed the phone down. If I’d been a little rude, well, that was to be expected. This was a big day--maybe the biggest of my life, and I was stuck on the side of the road. I had lawyers to meet with and strategy to plan. If I didn’t make it there today, I could see stock prices starting to fall before the day was even out. A headache pulsed at my temples, and I began to massage them, looking out the rearview mirror again. Where the
hell was he?
When I finally saw the truck pull in behind me, I was ready. I marched over to the vehicle ready to let loose on the poor bastard that had kept me waiting. “About time you got here! I’ve been--” The words died on my lips as I realized that the man who’d stepped out
definitely was not Curtis.

Hope you enjoyed my snippet! If so, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for "Love Hurts" which will be released soon! Remember to visit Maren, Maddie and Patty for other great snippets from our anthology, as well as the rest of these talented authors. Happy Spankings!

Happy New Year everyone! I've been off the blog hop scene for nearly a month now, and it is SO good to be back! Hope all of you are well! When I think about winter, I think about snow and hot chocolate and building snowmen. I began looking back through some of the things I wrote in high school and came across this poem which I decided to share with you all. No spankings, though! Would have killed my Creative Writing teacher! It is a bit rusty but I left it as is. When I read it I remember exactly what it felt like to be a kid on a snow day!

Gingerbread Houses

Noses press against cold, frosted glass
as we eagerly watch snowflakes fall from heaven .
No two angels are exactly alike.
Our winter wonderland possesses a beauty
never seen before.
It seems wrong to mar it, this white paradise,
but it’s a gift, and we’re going to enjoy it.
So feet pitter-patter out the door
where we simultaneously say hello and goodbye
to this perfection.
The clock is ticking on our day of rhapsody
and we shoot out the door like horses.
I can feel your hands on my shoulders,
pulling me to the snow, helping me make an angel.
When your back is turned I make a snowball
and launch it at your face as you turn.
Like a tiger, you’re ready to pounce,
and I jump up to begin the game of “catch me if you can”
that lasts for what seems like hours.
Finally, we are too numb for laughter
and go inside for fresh-from-the-oven gingerbread
and hot cocoa,
and I know that this day was made just for us. 

Enjoy the rest of Cold Hands Warm Bottoms!!
