When a man who usually gets things his way meets a woman who only accepts her own way, what will happen...

Nicola Holland has fought hard to get where she is. She does not take no for an answer and refuses to back down from any challenge. Frustrated that her attempts to meet with her client were being thwarted, she goes to see him personally. The meeting does not go as she planned. The man she meets is like nothing she expected. His mixture of arrogance, confidence, and charisma is intoxicating to her senses. Yet, as she gets to know him, it is his gentleness that makes her most afraid. She knows that getting involved with him would be foolish, but can she resist? Does she even want to? Nicola decides to do as she has always done--do things her way and let no one stand in her path.

Bradford “Brawich” Chadwick likes his solitude, and people generally leave him be. Yet, from time, the raven-haired beauty comes into his house, and he wants to get up close and personal. Although Nicola is trespassing, she acts like she owns the place and thus seals her fate. No way can he let this self-assured, arrogant, and sexy woman walk away. He is usually underestimated because of the image of lazy self-confidence he portrays, but Nicola sees through all that and challenges him. She might think she has the upper hand and that things are going to be her way. However, Nicola is about to learn that it is always Brawich’s Way.

Mid Season Premieres

I’ve mentioned a few times one of my fav things besides reading and writing is TV and Movies. I did a feature here on my blog last year called TV Pleasures. I plan on starting it again soon and changing the title a little. I’ll be calling it TV/Movie Pleasures.

Today I’m exploring my TV pleasures. I was looking forward to the mid season premieres of Monk and Psych. They started a few weeks ago and I am loving it. Also I can’t wait for The Closer which starts tommorrow. I enjoy Detective Sanchez and am really hoping they don’t kill him off. They left a cliff hanger last season. I’m counting down the hours until I can find out what happens.

A friend of mine also tapped the whole season on True Blood for me. I plan real soon to have a weekend of watching the season. I heard mixed things about True Blood but watching to form my own thoughts.

Now my other fav kind of shows - reality shows. I love some of them. There are so many and some of them just don’t catch me. I’m really enjoying Superstars of Dance. Seeing the various countries competing, their countries style of dance, and seeing how the professionals do it. It was wow. Fabulous.

What shows are you watching or looking forward too?

Creating Images for series

The year is already flying by. I’m excited about the opportunities coming to my career this year. I’ve been playing catch up. Getting back into my writing schedule. Some of my friends tease me about always changing my writing calendar. Yeah I have one. I’m an organization freak. LOL. The good thing about having a writing schedule is that I have an idea of what I will be writing next. I also have my schedule set so it leaves flexibility for me to change and shift things around. I have another friend who has a writing calendar also and we are always discussing the changes we make. How it helps keep us on track and set our long term writing career goals.

The schedule helps me a lot with my writing and planning out my various series. I love writing series because I get to get deep into the world, see previous characters and develop more. It is fun and of course time consuming. You must make sure that you keep the thread of the series accurate to your previous books and so on. LOL. But I love it. It’s like a puzzle that keeps getting more pieces that fit together to create a beautiful image.

I love creating each piece to my image of my series and writing the next book. It’s like opening a candy jar and finding my favorite candies. I guess that is why I tend to like to read series too. To get deep into the world and people there.

Aren Van der Ness has been away from Savoy Valley for a few years, but returned at the request of a friend. A man used to being alone, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the woman he was asked to investigate, Nahia Freeman. From their first meeting, he knows that this woman possesses incredible powers. Can he help her learn to harness them while dealing with his fierce attraction to her?

Nahia Freeman is visiting Savoy Valley, finally finding solitude and escape from the strange dreams that have haunted her and the men who seemed to follow her. All that changes when she meets the tall, golden-brown eyed Aren. The emotions he evokes in her are like nothing she’s ever experienced before, and they send her reeling. Anytime she’s near him, she feels different, as if she’s losing control of something. After deciding to keep her distance from him and his pull on her, Nahia finds that he is apparently the only one who can help her. So, swallowing back her desire for him, she puts her future in his hands.

With the clock ticking down and unsure of what they are up against, will Aren be able to keep her safe by being her guardian? Or will the guardian prove to be the one in need of protection? What will happen because of destiny, or the prophecy that is so much more than either realizes? Can all they know be saved by the Sentinel?
