This entirely original, exclusive, free-to-you story has been brought to you by… me! Play on, playaz…

After five years, Daisy Sawyer has finally come home. Not that she’s too happy about it. She had a great life in LA: rubbing elbows with celebrities, hopping from one exclusive bar to the other, and best of all, she didn’t have to answer to anyone. But when a drunken night of partying lands her in jail, the only person she can count on is her estranged brother, Alec, the leader of a powerful were-leopard clan. Forced to choose between a prison sentence or face the life she abandoned years ago, Daisy returns… but she doesn’t have to like it…

Christian LeBeau owes Alec Sawyer his life. He will do anything for the man, even babysit his bratty baby sister. But Christian never imagined that Daisy could grow up to be so beautiful… and forbidden in more ways than one. His mind tells him she is the one woman he can never have, but his body refuses to listen. All he has to do is take care of Daisy until Alec finds her a proper were-leopard to marry… then Chris could wash his hands off her and get on with his life…

And now, I present to you… Chasing Daisy…

The story is actually not finished yet, but I just had to share this FABULOUS cover designed by the ever-so-brilliant, April Martinez.

Back to my vay-cay. Love you all.

Update: my hard drive has DIED forever and I’m in the middle of getting things back the way they were. Hell of a thing to have to deal with on a vay-cay. *sigh*

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about HEA, romance shorthand for “Happily Ever After” endings on romance novels. Two events in particular focused my thoughts in this direction: One is a divorce, the other is the wedding of a young couple.

First the sad story. A couple we know is getting divorced after four decades together. I don’t know the details, because it’s really none of my business, but my husband and I were both shocked to hear the news. My husband in particular was stunned, and gave me a deer-in-the-headlights look:

“I think she left him because she was bored,” he said.

This, naturally, has led me to incorporate a new catch-phrase into my vocabulary. I say to my dear husband of over 30 years, “Careful, you’re starting to bore me…” and it’s amazing what a difference that can make in, oh, all sorts of activities!

But I digress.
