I'm sharing another excerpt from Crossing the Line today as my gift to you for being awesome.
Here's the blurb: Madison Kelly is an erotic romance author from
But she's not going anywhere until George Petropoulos gives the go-ahead.
The Greek god of a border guard has something other than national security in mind when he detains this particular citizen. He can’t help but be charmed by the juxtaposition between her stammering blushes and the racy books she writes.
A hot and heavy interrogation brings out her inner sex goddess, one that she’s been hiding in the pages of her books, and leaves them both wanting more. But will they be brave enough to cross the line again?
And here's an excerpt, continuing from where we left off. George has just asked Madison if she's a writer:
She could answer
that question with a resounding ‘yes’ now. What started out as a hobby quickly
became a passion, and now a profession. “Yes, I am.”
“What kind of
books do you write? Like, children’s books?”
Her cheeks
flamed. His gaze fixed on her like he could see the gears turning in her head
as she tried to think of the best way to avoid his question. She chewed on her
lower lip and his smile deepened. “Yeah, sure.” Lowering her eyes to the floorboard, she
flinched when he cleared his throat.
I had an incredibly action-packed week, including filling out the first round of report cards for the new semester, going on dates with cute boys, coaching volleyball, playing sports, spending time with friends, teaching, reading, and dealing with a leaky ceiling. Let's hope this next week is just as exciting, minus the report cards and the leaking and the not having enough time to breathe. lol. Wishing you all a spectacular week! :)
Oooh, lying to the border guard...and he's caught her. Can't wait to see his reaction to the truth. I'm loving these two every week. :D

Glad you enjoyed it, Cindy! Off to read yours! :)
DeleteI like how her proud "yes, I'm am" quickly turned to embarrassment. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alexis! I appreciate your comment! :)
DeleteSo she forgot to add the books were for naughty grown up children at heart. Small sin of omission..
