So Tasty ~ Excerpt from 'An Inner Fire'
Grayce stood in the doorway wearing his shirt. Mitzi stood behind her. A surge of possessiveness hit him in the gut. He wanted Grayce Walters to belong to him and only him.
“How long have I been asleep?” She stretched her arms over her head. He watched his shirt hike up to reveal her thighs, high enough to tantalize, high enough to cause heat to pool under his clothes, under his skin.
“Three hours.”
“Wow, I was really out. I had no idea I was so tired.”
“My fault. I didn’t plan on a workout when I invited you for dinner.”
A patch of red appeared on each cheek. A woman who blushed, a woman with no artifice.
How had he gotten so lucky?
“Are you working?”
“I was.” He stood. He wanted to go back to bed and do all the things they had done to each other and more. Desire drummed through him in a slow, steady beat. With her hair sleep-tousled around her shoulders, she looked like the cover of Maxim, like every hot-blooded male’s fantasy.
He pulled her into his arms. She smelled of lemon and warm, sleepy woman.
“Are you hungry?”
“I am, but you keep working. I’ll fix something.”
“I’m hungry too.” He leaned down, taking bites of her earlobe, nipping at her neck. “So tasty.”

Falling for the Code Breaker ~ Excerpt from 'A Code of Love'
Preoccupied, Cord didn’t register her outrage. He spoke matter-of-fact. “I’m trying to find a clue to the thief’s intentions. Does your uncle have a secure area for his confidential work? There are two different sets of handwritings on these notes. Is this your handwriting?”
Her heart thumped loudly, as if it might leap out of her chest. “Yes, it’s my handwriting. As you know, I help my uncle with his work. Do you need to go through my uncle’s papers at this time?”
She had almost slipped and called them “her papers.” She needed to be careful not to reveal anything that might hurt her uncle.
Cord stopped his search and came around the desk. His face was creased with concern.
“How is your uncle this morning?”
His quiet strength made her want to confide all the secrets that she had just sworn not to reveal. She was drained. If he so much as touched her, she would cave. “He’s napping but awoke earlier with a headache.”
He stepped closer and his voice softened. “You’re exhausted. You mustn’t worry. Lord Harcourt will recover and return to his normal brilliant self.”
She longed to tell him that her uncle would never return to the man he had been; he hadn’t been that man for years. But once informed, how could he, as the head, ever allow the situation to continue with her uncle?
He took her into his arms, pressed his mouth against her hair, and slowly rubbed her back in slow circles. His touch was gentle and loving. “You’ve had a hard night.”
She inhaled his smell, an earthy mixture of lime and starch. Tilting her head upward, she looked straight into his intense blue eyes and was lost in the deep tenderness.
He cradled her face in his hands and kissed her forehead, her eyelids, her cheeks. “You’re not alone. I’m here.”
Henrietta relaxed into his strong hands. This is how it feels to be cherished. It was a feeling she had never experienced and it filled her with longing and hope.

Working Dogs on Duty
I’m always amazed and impressed by the jobs canines can be trained to perform. When I was researching and writing An Inner Fire, I met Henny, a Lab who worked as an Accelerant Detection K9.
Many of the tasks dogs assist with are well-known because of media coverage or simply because we encounter them in every day life.
Pet Therapy Dogs
Military K9s
Search and Rescue Dogs
There are other jobs dogs help with that are less commonly known but just as important.
Airport Wildlife Control – These dogs keep airport runways and taxiways free of animals and birds.
Acting and Entertainment – Toto (real name Terry, the Cairn Terrier) is probably the most famous canine actor, but it’s not uncommon for these furry showbiz pets to become jut as popular as two-legged celebrities.
Pest Control Dogs – Exterminators sometimes use dogs to detect pests such as bed bugs, termites and mosquitoes. After all, the nose knows!
What other canine occupations are you familiar with?
