Combustible Together ~ Excerpt from 'Mission: Impossible to Wed'
“We’ve got off-the-charts chemistry. But it’s the wrong place and wrong time.” He stared at her lips, stirring a hunger in her to taste him.
How could she feel like this and it not be the right time? It felt like the perfect time to her.
She pressed her lips to his soft full ones. She ran her tongue along his lower lip. She felt the catch in his breath before he pulled her into his arms, wrapping her against his hardness.
Expecting he would be demanding by the tension in his body and his labored breathing, she was surprised by his slow and tender exploration, nibbling on her lower lip and then licking where he bit. Mesmerized by his gentleness, she melted against him. She drifted in the sensation, her hands clenched in his T-shirt, her knees wobbly. Lost in kissing Gabe, she didn’t know how much time passed. By the time Gabe finally pulled back, her legs were buckling, and she wanted to get naked with him.
“I guess that answers all our questions. It’s exactly what I thought. We are damn combustible together.”

Why writing 'Mission: Impossible to Wed' was a challenge
Mission: Impossible to Wed is my contribution to the 99¢ multi-author box set, Christmas at Mistletoe Lodge (releasing 10.22.19). When I set out to write this holiday novella, I never anticipated the challenge I had created for myself.
I’ve been writing for a while. I released An Inner Fire, my first contemporary romantic suspense, in 2014. Since then, I’ve released 7 other contemporary military romantic suspense titles.
My newest story in the Impossible Mission series, Mission: Impossible to Wed, is a little different. It’s about a wedding designer and a Special Ops soldier who are thrown together for a country wedding that has them both thinking they’ll never get married. It’s pure romance–no suspense or intrigue or action-adventure.
Writing a contemporary romance without any elements of suspense was much harder than I anticipated. I had to think and plan and create outside my comfort zone. I had to construct the story using different plot devices. I had to come up with other obstacles to keep Gabe and Lauren from their HEA.
The process of writing this book was uncomfortable and laborious. It reminded me what writing romantic suspense fiction felt like when I was just starting out as a writer. I struggled for each word, writing and rewriting. Doing something for the first time makes you very aware of the process and the work. But it also makes you proud that you put in the extra effort.
My editor told me she’s very pleased with the story. I hope you’ll download a copy of this new box set to read Mission: Impossible to Wed and let me know what you think!
