Please join me in celebrating her release.  Thank you, Connie, for hosting me on Valentine's Day, this very special day celebrating LOVE. I'm going to share an excerpt from my latest release showing the moment when the hero confesses his love for the heroine. If you like the excerpt, please consider signing up for my Author-Reader Group here: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/wlaz2sqwl4 You will receive the first chapter of SPIRITS OF THE HEART, A Haunted Voices Novel. You can find out more about the book on Amazon here: http://amzn.to/2nQDDzJ Blurb: An addiction counselor and a security guard struggle to free a little girl and her father, two lost spirits trapped inside an abandoned mental asylum. Addiction counselor Laura Horton returns from college to move in with an old friend and start her career. But her homecoming is jarring. Her friend moves out, leaving Laura alone with the gorgeous but intimidating ex-boyfriend—in a house that snugs up to an ancient graveyard. Officer Miller Stanford is a man with a shattered past. His alcoholic dad destroyed their family, a weakness Miller is terrified will consume him too. The last thing he needs is a sexy, blonde addiction counselor watching his every move. When he begins to see specters in the dark, he starts questioning his own stability. But Laura sees her too—a pathetic child-spirit searching for her father. Then Laura starts digging into old asylum records . . . Can Miller and Laura uncover the secrets of Talcott Hall without jeopardizing their love—and lives—in the process? Excerpt: “Make love to me, Miller. Please. I feel a little lost. A little like that child-spirit out there. I need to be held. I want to feel cherished. Wanted,” she whispered. “Oh, I want you, all right. But what scares the hell out of me, Laura, is how I’m starting to need you.” He pulled back and gazed into her huge, blue eyes. “Need you. And not just like this.” He searched her face as he fiddled with one errant, blonde curl and tucked it behind her ear. He waited, searching her eyes for some sign she understood what he was saying. But there was only open, pure innocence in those eyes. She had no idea what it meant to be loved. He could see that now. And like a pinprick to his heart, he nearly winced when she replied, “I’m yours, Miller. I’ll give you whatever you want. To please you. I just want to make you happy.” “Laura, I love you. Are you ready for that? I mean, I’ve never felt this way about anyone in my life.” She blinked fast as though he’d hit her with something too complex for her to understand. “Why?” she asked in a small voice. “Because I’ve never felt so alive since the day you came waltzing into my house. Into my life. At first, like a shy bird. One I soon realized was a well-disguised lady hawk.” His mouth curled into a wry smile. “And because you don’t think I’m crazy.” He watched as her pale, gold eyebrows grew together, her eyes glistening. “I don’t know how to do that, Miller. . .the love thing. I mean, other than family. I don’t know if I’m ready for—” Miller didn’t give her the chance to finish saying what he not only didn’t want to hear, but didn’t believe. His mouth crushed hers with a hunger, a passion he’d never known. She didn’t resist, but dove into the pool of desire right alongside him. He would show her. If she didn’t understand his words, then he would show her. Show her what it felt like to be loved.
