Susan is all Hot & Bothered seeing her reissue gain new life

Hello, me pretties.

I’m sooo pumped—the reissue of Hot & Bothered is landing on shelves of grocery and book stores even as I hunt and peck this to you! I’ve had a bunch of emails from readers recently who’ve been unable to locate a copy, so I’m very pleased to tell you that H&B is finally back in circulation.

What is it about, say you readers unfamiliar with this book? Thanks for asking, stranger. Pull up a chair and let me bend your ear.

Take one woman determined to see that her child gets all the love and attention she didn't, one man who never intended to be a daddy learning he is one, and a teenaged boy running scared in the belief he killed his own father. Add a murder victim whose heart was so black, the list of people with reason to kill him reads like a New York city phone book. Stir things up, and what do you get?

Hot & Bothered, my friend.

Says the back cover copy:
When Victoria Hamilton's vacation fling resulted in a baby, she began a new life far from her overbearing family. Now Tori's father has been murdered and her half-brother Jared needs her help to prove his innocence. But confronting her past when she comes face-to-face with Private Investigator John "Rocket" Miglionni sure isn't what she had in mind.

Thrilled to find the woman who once rocked his world, John takes one look at her little girl and gets the shock of his life. Now the rugged former Marine has two females holding a big piece of his heart, a troubled teenager who expects the worst in life...and a second chance to make it right for all of them.

For those who discovered my books with Coming Undone, this is your chance to see P.J. and Jared as teens living on the streets of Denver. Or if your Aunt Mary keeps “borrowing” your books and somehow never returns them, get the old broad—er, sweet lady—her own copy so she’ll keep her mitts off yours.

And since I'm on a full-blown promo rampage, here's a little teaser of John and Tory’s story.

He kissed her with an expertise that sent her resistance down the drain. His mouth was talented and his kisses were sultry. Forceful.

Familiar. God, so familiar. She knew these lips. She’d kissed them before, studied them as they’d shaped words, slipped bites of food between them with her fingers. It had been six years, but some things a woman never forgot.

Every last defense disappeared and she felt herself start to melt at the knees. For one wild, reckless minute, suffused with a blistering pleasure she’d only known once before, she kissed him back fiercely. She reveled in his hot, rich taste, in the slick inner lining of his mouth, in the tensile strength that supported her weight as she plastered herself against him in a futile bid to climb right inside his body.

Then before it even occurred to her to muster the will to pull away, John jerked up his head, released her, and took a giant step back.

“Damn.” He brushed the back of his hand against his bottom lip. Then, dropping his hand to his side, he dabbed his tongue against the lip he’d just touched and eyed her sourly. “It’s still there, isn’t it? I’d hoped it was gone, or at least one of those memories I’d blown all out of proportion over the years. But you’re still every bit as addictive as you used to be.” His hot-eyed regard slid over her from the top of her head to her crimson-polished toes. “Christ. You’re like cocaine in a red bra.”

But enough about me. What do YOU think about me?

Whoops. Way too needy. And just to prove I can play nice with others and don't really think it's all about me, I've got a question for ya. Is there a book you've been having a hard time finding that you'd love to see reissued? I've been thinking of one lately called Yonder that I read a couple times years and years ago and really liked. I might be able to track it down in my mother's library, but I doubt I'd ever find it anywhere else.

Hmmm. She's also got ice cream in her freezer.

Whoa. I feel a jaunt to Mom's coming on.
