Before we introduce today's guest author, I thought, for the flower lovers among us, I'd share this interesting and unusual development: above you can see six roses, there's actual a seventh it's in the back on the left and there was one more that I clipped off when it first budded. Now look below in the vase, how many stems do you see?
In the reflection it looks like two. But there actually is only ONE stem and a total of eight rose buds grew from this one stem produced by my small rose bush on the porch. Pretty cool, huh?
OH, and before I forget, my debut novel is now a month old! Check it out, it you'd be so kind, it's a contemporary romance series, just click on the hot guy on the right: Dream Man.
And without any further adieu, it's my pleasure to introduce Rebecca Heflin and her contemporary second in the Dreams Come True (how nice!) series called Ship of Dreams.
Rebecca's Bio:
Rebecca
Heflin is an award-winning author who has dreamed of
Book Title: Ship of Dreams (Book #2 in the Dreams Come True series) (Contemporary Romance)
Log Line: The path to love isn’t
always smooth sailing.
Book Tag Line Advertising diva, Laura Armstrong, meets her
match in Nathan Maxwell when he turns out to be her biggest obstacle to bagging
a major account and a corner office. Will Nathan sink her ship of dreams before
it ever leaves port, or will the way to love be smooth sailing?
Book Blurb:
Advertising Diva, Laura Armstrong is after Imperial Cruise Lines,
the biggest account of her career and the one that will lead to the next step
in her Life Plan of becoming one of the most powerful women in advertising.
That winning the account will also prove her father wrong is a bonus.
Sexy Southern Gentleman, Nathan Maxwell, is after that very same
account, but for completely different reasons. Landing the account means a
sizeable bonus just in time to save his family’s farm, and the only stable home
his sister’s ever known, from foreclosure.
When the two end up on the same ship in the middle of the
Mediterranean for a clandestine reconnaissance mission, Mt. Vesuvius isn’t the
only thing that could erupt.
Book Excerpt:
Laura Armstrong strode toward the building housing the New York offices
of Imperial Cruise Lines. Her stiletto heels clicked a staccato on the sidewalk
as she tested the limits of her snug pencil skirt.
Tapping out a message on her smart phone, her mind five steps ahead, she
nearly took a header when the heel of her shoe plunged into a sidewalk seam.
The text message all but forgotten, she twisted and turned, unable to dislodge
the stubborn heel.
Risking a tear in the cherry red patent leather of her sky-high
Louboutin ankle-straps — the ones with the plunging vamp revealing her sexy toe
cleavage — wasn't an option. But between the ankle strap and her figure-hugging
skirt, she couldn't slip out of the shoe, nor could bend over and unfasten it
either.
Perfect. She'd be late for her meeting with Imperial's CEO.
Daddy Dearest thought Giddings-Rose couldn't handle an account the size
of Imperial. Check that. He thought she couldn't win an account the size of
Imperial.
Determined to prove her father wrong, she'd get the account and the
corner office. That is if she could pry her heel out of the sidewalk.
Bustling New Yorkers in suits and skirts just stepped around her,
dodging her like an out-of-place trashcan. "Well, sh—"
"Hold still, Sugar, or you'll break the heel." The masculine
voice called to mind the mellow sweetness of the fine Kentucky Bourbon she'd
once sipped at the Derby. Rich and mellifluous, with a hint of Southern
graciousness. Even so, there was no denying the authoritative tone. "And
that would be a damn shame." The hand that wrapped around her ankle from
behind was broad and masculine, but well-manicured, topped with an elegant
Cartier watch.
Not her type. She preferred her men with a little more grit than polish.
So why did tantalizing warmth spread up her leg?
