surprise to see you two here. Together.”
“Nice to see you too.” Molly was proud of her control.
“Molly, I’m so sorry. I’d hoped you’d meet someone at the Fourth of July party but I guess…” Her voice trailed off.
“Oh but I did.” Molly could feel the evil curve to her grin. “I met Nick.”

Teaching Molly
Dina’s eyebrows nearly flew to her hairline. “Well, yes but after all, I was hoping for someone more your age. It’s nice Nick is treating you to lunch but… Oh! He has someone for you to meet, right?”
Nick’s eyes darkened and flashed. “Actually, Dina, Molly is moving in with me. It was an instant attraction, so I guess we have you to thank for it.”
Molly thought Dina was going to pass out on the stone walkway. “Oh! Oh, my goodness. But isn’t… I mean, aren’t you…”
“Very happy,” Nick finished for her. “Now if you’ll excuse us, I don’t mean to be rude but I see the waiter approaching with our lunch.”
The moment Dina had dragged herself away from them, they saw her pull out her cell phone and punch numbers into it.
“The gossip line will be working full tilt by tonight,” Molly pointed out.
“I hope so. People should know I’m off the market.” He waited until the waiter placed the dishes on the table, then leaned forward. “And if you say the word ‘age’ one more time I’ll have to take you home and get out that purple flogger you were so curious about.”
Molly grinned, leaned forward and whispered, “Age.”

About the Author
I always wonder what readers really want to know when I write one of these things. Getting to this point in my career has been an interesting journey. I've managed rock and roll bands and organized concerts. Been the only female on the sports staff of a university newspaper. Immersed myself in Nashville peddling a country singer. Lived in five different states. Married two very interesting but totally different men.
I think I must have lived in Texas in another life, because the minute I set foot on Texas soil I knew I was home. Living in Texas Hill Country gives me inspiration for more stories than I’ll probably ever be able to tell, what with all the sexy cowboys who surround me and the gorgeous scenery that provides a great setting.
Each day is a new adventure for me, as my characters come to life on the pages of my current work in progress. I’m absolutely compulsive about it when I’m writing and thank all the gods and goddesses that I have such a terrific husband who encourages my writing and puts up with my obsession. As a multi-published author, I love to hear from my readers. Their input keeps my mind fresh and always hunting for new ideas.
