Excerpt for The Rogue to Ruin

Mar 20, 2019

Happy Spring!

To celebrate the welcome of warmer weather (at least, according to the calendar), I’m posting the book-flap excerpt for THE ROGUE TO RUIN. Enjoy!

Warm wishes and happy reading,

Viv

“I hardly need your advice,” Ainsley scolded him in return, every word pushing her flesh against his. Almost as if… as if she had just kissed him.

But this wasn’t kissing, she assured herself. This was merely a new form of arguing.

Anticipating his next contradiction, she angled her head for closer contact and Reed growled in response. The low, primal sound sent an unexpected thrill rushing through her.

“It would be a waste of breath to tell you anything,” he said, fitting his other hand over the curve of her cheek to cradle her face. “Even if I wanted to say that your lips are soft and plump and more luscious than wine-poached pears, I wouldn’t.”

Then he tilted her head back to cement his argument. Opening her mouth with his own, he nibbled gently into her flesh, tasting the seam of her lips without hurry. The slow, thorough exploration caused her eyes to drift closed.

Her senses centered on the firm, enticing pressure of his mouth, the delicious rasp of his tongue. A wanton mewl tore from her throat, hungry and needy and urgent.

The unguarded sound brought her to an uncomfortable admission . . .

She might be kissing the enemy.

Happy New Year

Jan 1, 2019

Happy New Year!
My wish for 2019 is that each of you have more moments that make you smile. More “fluffy towels fresh from the dryer” moments. More “no alarm clock tomorrow so stay up all night reading” moments. More “fuzzy socks and hot cocoa” moments. More “perfect sunset” moments, and more “first snowfall” moments.
May your year be filled with these moments and so many more. <3
Warm wishes and happy reading,
Viv




The Rogue to Ruin cover!

Dec 6, 2018

Behold, the new cover for THE ROGUE TO RUIN (Ainsley & Reed’s story)!

I just love the colors. And that dress… I NEED that dress!  I mean, you just never know when you’ll need to drape yourself across a silk-covered chaise lounge, right? 🙂

The Bourne Matrimonial Agency has one rule: Never fall in love with a client, which shouldn’t be a problem when one’s faking an engagement to the rogue across the street . . .

Ainsley Bourne needs the family business to succeed. But one obstacle stands in her way—Reed Sterling, the huge, handsome, former prize fighter and owner of the gaming hell across the street. His scandalous customers scare off all her marriage-minded patrons and since the devilish brute has no intention of relocating, she sets out to ruin his unsavory establishment. Yet when a vile suitor from her past reappears, Ainsley hastily claims an attachment to the first man who comes to mind . . . Mr. Sterling, to be exact.

Reed doesn’t know who is more surprised by Miss Bourne’s declaration. She clearly hates him, and he’d never admit their arguments simmer with unrequited attraction. Something about the pleading look in her eyes calls to Reed, and against his better judgment, he quickly plays the part of the besotted fiancé.

Pretending to be in love requires a convincing charade. But with each tantalizing touch and every scandalous kiss, Ainsley starts to wonder if Reed was ever really the enemy at all.

 

THE ROGUE TO RUIN will be available July 30, 2019

 

Warm wishes and happy reading,

Viv
