Hostess of the Grande Ball to unveil the museum's renovated plantation, Emma Browning never suspects a mysterious mirror will whisk her back in time to 1825 New Orleans. Neither does she expect to find herself engaged to a total stranger. Unable to explain her sudden appearance in this breathtakingly, handsome man's life, Devon Chandler rather believe Emma is the bait in a conspiracy to destroy him, than in her outlandish claim she is from the future!

Join Emma and Devon as they discover their awakening love only to face its destruction when Devon's enemy kidnaps Emma. She escapes her captor, but falls prey to the evil and powerful Andre La Pointe. To protect Devon and their unborn child, Emma agrees to marry the man she fears!

Forced into a deathbed marriage, Emma refuses to give up and battles time to reclaim Devon's love. A love now buried in betrayal to save the man too stubborn to see the truth.

Everything is blooming (lupins, daisy, buttercups, forget me nots, roses, primrose, lilacs, chives and more) and the colors are amazing. I am so glad winter finally let go. Summer is here, seems like spring was rather short lol.

Learning his employer intends to marry off the girl, his Darlin’, with the indentured women, he marries her himself suspecting he has gone from the frying pan and into the fire.

Marrying Allen Flint isn’t as disturbing to Jolene as discovering she is in 1713. Dare she examine her feelings toward the mountain of a man, now a part of her life? Can she survive the wilds of the American Frontier?

When Indians capture Flint, Jolene prays she possesses the strength to save the man she loves from certain death. Time brought her to him, but Jolene realizes only their magic can hold them together, now.

Is it spring yet? I actually saw some geese this week, no robins yet. But, the six foot high banks of snow are shrinking. Oh yeah, it is warming up and I'm looking forward to those daffodils.

Not only am I excited about spring, but I have so much news to share with all of you. First, this week through March 12th my publisher Smashwords is celebrating READ AN EBOOK WEEK and my books are part of RAEW. You can get my books from free to $1 to $2 to $2.50 with coupons that discount the retail price. These coupons are good only at Smashwords. I change the free book(s) each day and the coupon discounts, so come by and check every day. If you have any of my books on your wish list then this is the time to get them! Just go to my Smashbooks author page, all my books are listed there with links to their page, the coupons are listed on each page :)
https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/jeweladams
Smashwords is my new publisher, the books are also at the major retailers: Apple US AU GB and others, Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo, and Diesel, and soon Kindle. All the major ebook formats, html, word, rtf and more formats are available at Smashwords. I thought as I'm with a new publisher that I and other authors, and our readers need a "New Author Reader Group". I've made one called Smashromance at yahoo groups. I hope you will join :) We can have a lot of fun and you will meet many of your favorite authors. I'm looking forward to conversing with my readers and friends. Oh, we can have contest too. You know I love contests and giving out prizes :) Like I said, lots of fun. So come on over and join the group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Smashromance/

The very best news is for my readers :) I now have Trading Cards for each of my novels. That's right collectible trading cards. I'm going to put the first one here...

Isn't that the absolute best trading card! And I have one for each book and for some I also have shots of the main characters, even scenery. I haven't had this much fun in a long time. I want to give them out to my readers when they post reviews of my books at the retailers, Smashwords or on my blogs or website or review sites :) there are all kinds of ways to get the cards. I think they are a nice way to say "Thank you for your support :)"
Right now, I'm going to say thank you--if you would like to be one of the first to start collecting a trading card for any of my books that you have, please email me and let me know which ones you want. I will send you the jpeg photo file to begin your collection.
Psst. don't tell anyone but I have a feeling these trading cards are going be crazy fun for everyone to collect. Think about it, we can have virtual scrapbooks :) So get your list together and start your collection.
When you sign up at Smashromance you will see my friend Chloe Reeder's trading card for her Sarah Janes - Bounty Hunter series.

I think this newsletter is a spring explosion of good things going on.

I almost forgot! I started my WORDS OF LOVE - Romance Writing Series. That's right, this is a series to help you write your romance novel. If you have a romance in your head why not learn writing methods, get help with POV, dialogue, action, chapters, scenes, the list goes on :) It really doesn't matter when you start the series, the parts are posted each Thursday at the Night Writers' Blog and on my Jewel's Way Website and will remain up. I posted the third part Getting to Know Your Characters, this week will be What About Plot, Conflict and Resolution? I hope you will come over and take a look.

Wow, I know I probably forgot something lol. Next time.
Enjoy,
Jewel

3rd Part of WORDS OF LOVE - Romance Writing Series is Live

2011-03-04T14:08:00.004-05:00

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CHARACTERS

Here you are sitting in your cubby, poised over the keyboard or with pencil in hand; Sassy and Grant are staring at you from that fabulous setting…waiting. That’s right your main characters are waiting for you. They are ready to expose all if you are ready.

I can hear you saying, hmm, Jewel’s lost her cookies, but I haven’t, not yet. You see--you need to open those eyes right now and visualize your novel pages. All the insight you are going to begin to feel, sense and see must come to you through your characters. They are the way all and see all of the story. You need to forget what you think and allow yourself to see the story through the eyes and senses of the people in the story.

You may be asking how can I do this? ...

Romance Fiction is one of the largest and most varied genres of available fiction. To find the perfect way to begin writing you first need to decide on what type of Romance Fiction you want to write. The possibilities are endless and every one of them sounds exciting, but you need to choose one.

To make it easy on yourself, let’s start by asking, what is your favorite type of Romance Fiction? Out of all the books you have read, which romance genre do you constantly come back to? Mystery, Western, Gothic, Time Travel, Fantasy—once you narrow the possibilities down to a couple favorites, pick one. Remember, it is always better to write about something you know...

It doesn't matter when you come over and join, the parts will be left up at Jewel's Way website and on the Night Writers' Blog.

The series is a lot of fun and will help get your Words of Love put into that novel. Oh, and don't be shy, if you have questions just post them or email me.

Do You Believe in Magic?
By
Jewel Adams
The flash of shiny metal caught his attention just in time to move as the bullet whizzed past his head. “Hey! Inside! I’m Captain Clay Banyon of the US Army, put the damn gun away!” He took a deep breath to control his temper. “The Indians are gone, you can come out now.”

Ali’s only problem was she didn’t want to come out or even be here! Just seeing anything beyond the stagecoach might be more than her mind could handle.

When Ali gave in and played her god-daughter’s game pretending they live in the old west, using a garage sale relic, little did she know—magic would change their lives forever.

She possessed a name, a profession and felt ridiculously grateful to the power that brought them to this…magic time. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/27533

Do You Believe In Magic?

Jewel Adams

The flash of shiny metal caught his attention just in time to move as the bullet whizzed past his head. "Hey! Inside! I'm Captain Clay Banyon
of the US Army, put the damn gun away!" He took a deep breath to control
his temper. "The Indians are gone, you can come out now."

Ali's only problem was she didn't want to come out or even be here! Just seeing anything beyond the stagecoach might be more than her mind could
handle.

When Ali gave in and played her god-daughter's game pretending they live in the old west, using a garage sale relic, little did she
know—magic would change their lives forever.

She possessed a name, a profession and felt ridiculously grateful to the power that brought them to this…magic time.

EXCERPT

CHAPTER 1

"Don't you believe me?"

She would get Tracey for this. "Of course I do, Evie."

"Then play the game with me, Ali, please."

Sneaking a glance at the stack of work on the table, Ali sighed.

"Come on Ali. Pleeeeze!"

What kind of aunt gives an eight year old a glass globe to play with? "Are you sure you should be playing with that, it looks old, Evie?"

"You're afraid." Evie's little girl face lit up with the taunt. "Ali's a scaredy cat. Ali's...."

"I am not." God, she sounded eight herself. It must be babysitting that did this to her, a grown woman just didn't do this anymore, even if
Tracey was her cousin. If Ali were honest, she would admit it was the
situation she didn't like.

Evie wasn't just hungry for attention, she must be starved for it to want her godmother as a playmate. Ali didn't think most kids played
'wishing' with a crystal ball that looked like a Merlin reject.

"Where did you get this, Evie?"

"I told you, I found it."

"No, you said your aunt gave it to you."

"Well, I found it, she just paid for it."

"From a shop?"

The girl's laughter became almost contagious enough to sway Ali off the subject.

"No silly, at a garage sale."

Now that, Ali could believe. Tracey carried the garage sale queen label, along with her other activities. So many she had no time for
little Evie. Like tonight, another class of some sort. Ali frowned,
realizing that Tracey was always farming Evie out to one friend or
another. She knew it hadn't been easy for Tracey to take over the
parenting of Evie when her sister died. But, Ali watched and saw how
Tracey continued to ignore the child. "Alright Evie, we will play, but
only for a while."

"Oh, it won't take long, you'll see"

"I need to change first."

Evie followed her into the bedroom.

"You better start thinking of a place."

"A what?" Ali slipped out of her work suit and kicked off her heels, half listening to the girl.

"Your favorite time."

As she walked past Evie to the dresser, she twisted the girl's pigtail. "Mine is five o'clock. The magic hour when all hard working ladies go
home."

A giggling Evie fell back on the bed.

"It's not an hour Ali, it's a place."

"Place?"

"Sure, I like King Arthur's time. I'm a princess and there is a white knight like Prince Valiant."

When she pulled on her sweater, Ali looked at the girl. "You would."

Ali removed the bobby pins from the chignon and fingered out the amber lengths.

"So?"

Ali slipped into her jeans, "So what?"

"Tell me your favorite time."

What could it hurt to play along with her, "That's a hard question. Let's see. I too like knights, especially the good looking kind."

"Oh Ali, you have Chet."

"Hmm, he's definitely good looking, but I'm not too sure about the knight part." No, Chet definitely didn't come up to their standards, if
any. Ali recalled their conversation from last night and wasn't sure he
met her standards, either.

"Ali your ideas are archaic."

"I don't think waiting until we're married, to go to bed with you, is an ancient philosophy."

"This is the twentieth-first century Ali, wake up!"

Ali closed her eyes over how hard he slammed her door, "It's how I feel..."

"What is Ali?"

She brought her attention back to the girl. "Nothing honey. Where were we?"

"We both like knights."

"Right, but I also like cowboys and sea captains."

"Pirates!"

"No, they are not nice, I like the good guys."

"I don't like water, I got sick when uncle John took me fishing on a boat."

Another fill in that Tracey put in the girl's life. She couldn't remember how long that boyfriend lasted. Evie's real father was never in
her life, he ran off the moment Karen announced she was pregnant. Sadly,
Tracey didn't appear to be the parenting type.

"Cowboys then?"

"And Indians. I could be a princess again."

She gave Evie a rueful look. "And what could I be?"

"My mother?"

Ali rolled her eyes up to the ceiling.

"Sister?"

"You've no imagination Evie, but sister does sound better."

"You could be a teacher. In one movie I saw, the girl is a school marm."

Ali conjured up the image of a spectacled spinster. "It doesn't sound very flattering."

"You are prettier than she is and she got the cowboy."

"He better be tall, dark and extremely handsome if I have to teach a room full of kids."

Ali reached out and started tickling Evie. "Come on, we better start this game of yours. Now, if your magic ball could make all that work
disappear I could really get into this."

"I'll try." Evie raced ahead of Ali into the living room. "You have to sit here, Ali."

Ali lowered herself down to the carpet and sat Indian style, per Evie's instructions. Evie took the large crystal ball off the coffee table and
set it between them on the floor.

"Now we have to think of the same thing, together."

"Set the stage?" At the girl's questioning look, Ali took the lead, "I see blue sky all around."

Evie chimed in, "And mountains, big ones."

"Green grass and rolling hills."

"Looks pretty Ali."

"Now what do we do Evie?"

"We close our eyes and wish."

Ali glanced at the serious look on the girl's face and closed her eyes.

"It is starting, so we need to begin our wishes."

"Pretend we are there and the ball works its magic." Thankfully, Evie was still too young to hear Ali's sarcasm.

"See, it's easy Ali."

Maybe Evie's game wasn't so bad. The girl needed the escape it lent from her rocky home life. Ali couldn't see the harm.

"You have to close your eyes Ali."

"Right. I forgot, sorry."

It proved hard to play along, Ali kept thinking about all the work waiting for her at the table.

"Ali, you aren't playing."

"Yes I am, I was just wondering how we will know when it works."

"Oh, you will know."

Ali took a deep breath and forced her eyes to shut. She tried to clear her mind, whispering to herself "blues sky, mountains and green rolling
hills..."

She let her mind go with the imaginary scene. Ali began to relax under the spell's silent peace. A strange feeling of calm washed over her as
if she were floating on a cloud. Snow capped mountains encircled the
expanse of countryside. Wild flowers covered the open slopes of the
hills moving past. A rocking sensation washed over her, she smiled and
wondered if her subconscious slipped a ship in on Evie.

Ali sighed, and brushed the silly thought aside, letting the tranquility block out reality...if only for a little while.

But a sudden lurch jarred Ali from her peaceful dream.

She blinked furiously against the glaring sunlight. "What...sunlight?"

Ali bit her lip to silence what she didn't want to hear, but her senses betrayed her efforts.

The changes came at her like arrows. The assault's speed left her breathless as one reality slipped away, replaced by another—foreign one.

"Evie?" Ali didn't like the fear she heard in her voice.

Shaking her head against what she felt and still refused to let her mind comprehend, Ali flatly refused to let this go any further!

She took a steadying breath and silently laughed at what she nearly allowed herself to believe. Crystal balls didn't really work. She forced
her eyes open to seek out the familiar old furniture….

What came made her denial strengthen against the frightening reality taking hold of her. She squeezed her eyes shut, and forced them to
reopen, sure she'd been overcome by Evie's game.

"No! It can't be real." The stagecoach…Oh God, it really is one. Another rut sent the coach swaying and she bounced all over the seat.
Automatically her hand reached out to grip the open door frame. Ali
couldn't breathe over what shouldn't be there to hold.

"Evie?"

Ali turned against the swaying, thankful that she found the girl beside her. She reached for her, "Evie?"

The girl looked up at her with the same confusion Ali felt. "Come here honey."

Evie needed no coaxing to accept Ali's embrace.

"Lady, get down!"

Her mouth opened more from the realization that a man sat across from them than his shouted order.

The curse he directed at her was nothing compared to the blast of the gun in his hand that cut loose.

Ali instinctively fell over Evie to shield her. "What is going on?" She shouted over the blasting noise.

"Are you blind?" He cursed and kept shooting, "damn Easterners, stay down or those arrows the redskins are shooting will give you the
answer!"

"Indians?"

Ali's gasps drew Evie's frightened whimper. "Ali, I don't want to be a princess anymore."

"I know Evie." The swish and thud above their heads confirmed all the man's threatening words. The arrow wasn't imaginary, neither was the
fear it instilled.

"Hush Evie, it will be okay."

"Ali, it's not right, what happened?"

"I don't know honey, I don't know."

The arguments waged inside her head that none of this could be happening. A kid's stupid crystal ball couldn't make something this
crazy happen. Could it?

Another bone-jarring jolt of the stagecoach made her teeth bite down against the answer.

Arrows kept flying, she could hear the war-whoops of the attacking men, yet all she could do was look at the clothes on Evie and then herself.

"Calico?" The tiny flower print dress looked very different from her jeans. Her hand rose and touched the bonnet secured by the satin blow
under her chin. A light, short traveling cape fell about her shoulders.
Ali truly wished it could shield them from the danger.

"Ugh!"

She looked up at the man's cry. Ali swallowed her scream over the arrow protruding from the man's chest.

"Ali!"

"Don't look Evie."

The sideway lean of the coach stole her transfixed gaze from the dead man. A bare arm and hand moved about the open door panel, followed by
the painted chest.

"Oh, God, no!"

Looking to the man for help, she groaned. She tried to look away, catching sight of the gun still clutched in his lifeless hold. "I'm not
really doing this…" Ali kept repeating the lie as she pried his fingers
away from the weapon.

It took both hands for her to hold the heavy gun up and point it at the Indian now fully in view, clinging to the door. His eyes went to the
weapon, then her. The vicious sneer that crossed his face sent ice
through her veins. When he raised his arm, she saw the knife, the gun in
her hands fired as if it held its own agenda.

The horrible scream filled her ears. Dropping the gun, she tried to block it out with her hands, but Evie demanded her attention. Cradling
the child in her arms Ali heard the reassuring words she spoke to Evie
without thought, while she silently demanded the ball to bring them
back!

Ali gave up the effort over the new sound of a bugle and the slowing of the stagecoach.

"Where is it?" She scrambled about the floor with her hands, searching under the folds of dress material for the gun, nearly crying when she
finally felt the warm metal.

"Evie, stay behind me." She held the gun before her. Ali waited for the next savage to appear. Her only thought was to protect Evie, nothing
else mattered any more…

CHAPTER 2

"Buck! Are you alright?"

"Grazed my shoulder, Cap. I'll make it. Better check the passengers."

Clay looked back to be sure none of the Indians evaded the patrol before sliding off his mount. He kept a watch out to be safe as he walked up to
the coach, he reached out and pulled one of the arrows from the wood.
"Comanche?"

His attention became captured by the troubling discovery, Clay reached out to open the door. The flash of shiny metal caught his attention just
in time to move as the bullet whizzed past his head and he fell back
against the coach. He cursed over his own lack of caution, along with
the fool inside that almost killed him.

"Hey! Inside! I'm Captain Clay Banyon of the US Army, put the damn gun away!"

The silence was infuriating, under his breath he muttered, "Probably some half crazed greenhorn." He took a deep breath to control his
temper. "The Indians are gone, you can come out now."

Ali's only problem was she didn't want to come out or even be here! Just seeing anymore than she already had might be more than her mind could
handle. "I almost killed him."

She sank back against the seat, her hand rose and squeezed the small arm that encircled her neck from behind.

"Is it over Ali?"

"I don't think so."

"Listen to me! You in the coach, no one is going to hurt you, see for yourself, they are gone!" Remembering the scene he and troops came upon,
he could well imagine the fear the passengers suffered.

But nothing prevented the shock Clay suffered over the vision that emerged from the coach. Hair the color of polished topaz floated about
the tiny figure of beauty. The blue bonnet hung down her back and did
little to tame the wild wisps of her hair. Her eyes were a deeper shade,
but not quite brown. Right now, they were wide with fright, snapping him
out of the capturing trance of her beauty.

UNDER COVER LOVE

By

Jewel Adams

Katie finally lands a job in what she believes is the safest place in San Diego—serving nearly four-hundred police breakfast and lunch should be the last place her ex could find her.

Cash Hayden is right up there in the danger line-up. When Cash pulls the fiery Kate into his undercover life, he wants the woman he finds—regardless of the risks.

Can Katie learn to trust once more? Will they survive the danger that comes with the man she is falling in love with?

CHAPTER 1

New Beginnings

“You take over the register Katie, while we go on break. Should just be coffee and desserts now that lunch is over.”

“All right Bea.” The register? Katie needed to fight down the nervous rise in her stomach. The second day and already she tackled everything from the grill to making pies and stuffing. Now this...

She must have done alright or Bea wouldn’t leave her alone. Katie liked the older lady. It was a relief to work with nice women for a change. Even the cops weren’t all that bad. Most joked with her, Katie figured it was their way of welcoming the new girl.

She served them all lunch, from the motorcycle cops, a tough looking group, to plain-clothes and vice. Even the chief of police came in for lunch after the rush. She felt the chief and the captain of vice looking her over from their table. She wondered if they would check her out, probably thought she was a pothead, even though she hated the stuff. No, Katie stayed away from anything that messed with her mind.

Checking on the coffee urns and stew cooking on the stove, she looked up when hearing the double glass doors opening. The men she watched enter the dining room gave her chills, causing her to search for the police that no longer filled the room. “Damn, where are they when you need them.”

Seeing that the three men were heading her way, she tried to brush away the thought that they came to rob the place. After all, this was the police station. They were the type of men any sane person would cross the street to avoid.

They started filling coffee mugs, Katie wasn’t sure what to do. She wished she could ignore the fact they didn’t belong, trouble was the last thing Katie wanted. She needed this job, but the dining room was off-limits to anyone but cops. She found it hard to meet the leader’s eyes—cold...no feeling in them. With a skull tattoo and shaggy salt and pepper hair that fell in long strands past his shoulders, he looked like he just parked his chopper. Arrogant too, which did little to boost Katie’s courage.

She took a deep breath, “Mister, I think you’re in the wrong place, this is a policeman’s only dining room.”

The way he scanned the empty room before half smiling at his companions, told Katie he meant to cause trouble.

“You saying, I don’t belong?”

The challenge in his low voice stiffened Katie. “Yeah and I want to keep my job, so no offense, but take the coffee and go.” The guy acted like he went out of his way to attract trouble. Didn’t he realize where he stood?

“I’ll pay for the coffee, just go.” Katie’s eyes jumped when his hands set the cup down, she half expected the troopers to storm the place at any moment. “Look, I said I would take care of it, just go.” She regretted her nervous slip when he gave her a half smile.

“Couldn’t impose, besides this is the police station...right?”

Dense besides. No shit! Formed on her lips but thankfully remained silent.

“Could you hold this for me, sister.”

She glared back at him as he stretched out his hand, palm down to her.

Deciding it might be better not to refuse, if it helped get them out of here, Katie raised her hand under his. She got a sick feeling he could hurt her. Pain wasn’t unknown to her...her jaw tightened, refusing to let old fears rule.

It took a second before the true weight of what he released into her palm registered. Then as if time rushed forward, her gaze fell to the object and she automatically reacted to be rid of it. “Damn, you really are crazy!”

Everything seemed to go into slow motion as all three men moved to catch the gun twirling in the air above their heads. With an almost natural ease the man reached out and caught the gun before it ever began descending.

“You’re working in the wrong place to be afraid of guns, missy.”

Katie eyes fired at the raised hand holding the offensive thing, to the bright, cool green eyes drilling their way through her. It wasn’t fear that held her frozen in place staring back at him. “And you are a sadistic bastard...now, get out!” Too furious with him to raise her voice over the dead calm delivery that made him blink and his cohorts fidget.

Without even thinking about it, she moved her finger over the button under the counter. Bea showed her the alarm this morning. Never taking her eyes from his, her finger calmly pressed the small button setting off the silent alarm. Katie never expected to be doing something like this, at least not her second day at work and now probably her last.

Resigned to what would come and unemployment once again, Katie felt the tension slip away. Hearing the sound of running feet, and holsters slapping thighs and hands, Katie’s gaze never faltered from the darkening awareness boring into her.

“You really should have left as I asked.” A blur of figures surrounded them, words were shouted and still they stood there as if isolated from the chaos surrounding them.

“Alright Hayden, what the fuck is going on?”

The cursing man in uniform finally broke through to Katie. In a rush she took in the 20 or so officers pointing guns at the three men and her. “He has a gun.” It was all she could think to say.

She saw the officer in charge rolled his eyes at the ceiling. Katie always prided herself on not being slow on the uptake and understanding hit like a blast. Her eyes narrowed on the man responsible for the disaster, “cops, that’s just great...you really are a world-class bastard!”

The label undercover raced through her mind and Katie knew, as the various guns were being holstered, that she’d been royally screwed by a pro.

Deciding it would be useless to defend the riot she caused, Katie slipped off her apron and placed it over Mr. Narc’s coffee. “I can’t say it wasn’t...interesting.” Spinning about, she took two steps and reached to get her purse. Shutting out everyone still milling around, her gaze only lingered on the confused and speechless, Bea. “Sorry Bea, I really liked working with you.”

Without a backward glance, Katie forced her feet to march past the gaping men and ranting Sergeant, deciding the job probably wasn’t the right choice to start with; anti-establishment in the midst of the main force didn’t make much sense.

Ignoring the sound of her name being called, Katie kept going, only drawing a deep breath when she reached daylight. Walking 20 or so city blocks sounded preferable to sitting in front of the station and waiting for a bus. “A frick’n cop, no Katie, narc through and through. He probably got his jollies off scaring the shit out of you!”

The anger finally simmered to the surface and her steps hasten to walk it off. She wanted to ignore the humiliation she suffered. “Damn him, I really like that job.” Katie refused to acknowledge the feeling of safety being there gave to her, a place where her ex would never venture to get her. For a brief moment she closed her eyes against the fear still living inside of her because of her ex-husband.

“Damn him!” She couldn’t say which man she cursed at the moment. They all fell into the anger and self-pity tearing at her.

Pulling the combs from her hair, she let her fingers raked out the coil of lush red hair, letting it fall and blow about her like the cloak. Katie chose to ignore everything around her, concentrating only on walking up the streets and into the throng of people.

* * * *

Cash picked up his pace, throwing off the thoughts of calling to her again. The little spitfire shut out the world back in the cafeteria. He’d seen pride before in men, but hers became almost tangible. He hadn’t been able to resist playing with her.

Katie, yeah that’s what Bea called her. Katie, Irish no doubt, with a temper that came like flash fire and was as hot as that sassy red hair swaying around her hips. She already proved to be a handful, tough too. Cash smiled, remembering how she stood up to him. He felt intrigued by her almost at once. Strange, he rarely let anyone touch him with their eyes. He liked what he saw, including those sashaying hips he couldn’t stop watching. He remembered her eyes, she wasn’t on anything, no, he knew that look in someone all too well. This girl’s were clean, so fresh, and in more ways than he liked to admit, ways that stirred his blood and sent his cock throbbing.

He wondered if that coolness she held would have remained in place if they’d been anywhere else. Hell, the gun might have been a bit much. He never should have done that. Yet, she never told the Sergeant what he did. Why didn’t she defend herself?

CHAPTER 2

Tempering Desires

Cash started to catch up to her and the question hit him—why was he following her? Anyone could have come and told her she still held her job. Damn, he hated apologizing for anything to anyone, let alone some Irish hot head that probably wanted to burn him with those the amber eyes of hers.

Katie wasn’t in the mood for anyone bothering her right now and gave hardly a thought to the jerk on her shoulder bag. “Get lost!”

Neither did she stop to think when the hold turned serious and came with a strong arm about her waist.

Her kick came fast and effective, earning a solid grunt. In the back of her mind, Katie knew there would be anger directed at her in retaliation. Past abuse made her swear never to submit to any, ever again. Unfortunately, the man wasn’t backing off and his renewed attack became more than even Katie’s temper could deal with. The realization she should be afraid struck her about the same time he tackled her and she found herself lying beneath him on the sidewalk.

Cash’s heavy breathing had little to do with the surprising effort it took to subdued Ms. Kate. Yes Kate, not Katie, feeling every lustful curve and rounded mound beneath him said she wasn’t some child, no sir, woman through and through. Dangerous, wild and damn ornery.

Katie couldn’t hide her surprise over what just happened, seeing the man up close and exactly who held her captive came as a shock and felt very disturbing. “What no cuffs?”

Damn, Cash couldn’t believe she actually taunted him. “Do you always slug everyone trying to get your attention?”

“I doubt I could ignore a big, bad, po...”

Suddenly realizing what she was about to announce to the gathering crowd, Cash didn’t have time to think.

His lips were crushing, just before they became too persuasive for Katie’s senses to combat. So warm, searching as if asking a lover to respond in kind...this, no he, proved outrageous!

The only part of her, his huge body didn’t control, were her fingers and she used them.

“Damn you! You pinched me....”

Sometime in her life someone must have told her it would be dangerous to rile a lion. He certainly looked like one at that moment, making her regret the loss of his surprisingly sexy lips. Before his temper engulfed her she spoke out, “Let me up this instant.”

In less than a minute she nearly blew his cover on the streets and then delivered so many surprises that he didn’t want to release her, but keep on kissing and discovering the woman he somehow tangled with today.

“Hey Roach, doing them in the streets now?”

Cash’s low curse brushed against the soft lips trying to pull back from his own. It seemed his afternoon kept getting worse. At that moment Cash faced the unpleasant reality he could just have ended his rather, dark and unsavory career, especially if the Irish witch had her way with him. Staring hard into the golden fire she lashed him with “Nah, Rocket, the bitch tried to weasel out on a deal.”

Katie swallowed hard over what she heard and sensed in his answer to the intruder she couldn’t see beyond Hayden’s broad shoulders. The physical change in the body still burning into her, told her how lethal he just became. For the second time in one day, Katie wished she wasn’t so quick to understand.

Narc, oh yeah, undercover in a big way, she got a sick feeling she literally fell into his other life. Forcing her gaze up to meet his, Katie wanted to groan over the deadly serious glare he returned to insure she understood. If she held any hope the intruder would let him release her, it died over the painful hold Hayden retained on her arm as he brought her to her feet. She bit her lip to keep from lashing out at him. Only telling herself a cop held her kept her quiet.

“She’s not your usual type, Roach.”

“If she’s useful...she’s my type.”

Being part of the nasty conversation, without defending herself, made Katie try to pull way, only to be jerked solidly back against Hayden.

Facing the stranger glaring at her proved almost worse than suffering the heated length of Hayden’s erection pressing into her backside. She couldn’t stop focusing on the thick heat. She tried to move away, but it felt like his fire sucked the air out of her.

The man in front of her smiled in a sick way as if he knew exactly where her thoughts rested. She would have melted back against Hayden, but fear took over. This Rocket creep wiped out any doubts she possessed that Hayden ran with bikers. The man’s vest clearly declared his gang’s colors. The bare, forceful arms and black leather pants emphasized the lethal power he carried all on his own.

Cash felt the woman’s awareness shift from him and the hard-on her touch evoked. Somewhere he lost his decency, he regretted the loss of her lush curves as she pulled away. She only leaned back to seek the protection he offered from Rocket. Cash inwardly cringed, seeing how Rocket’s eyes brightened as they moved over Kate.

“I can see why you chased her down, Roach. Nice...very nice.”

Cash caught her arm before she could swing at Rocket’s hand as it moved down her breast. Using his strength he pulled his arm tighter about her waist knocking the air out of her and silencing most of the nasty words she started to spit out at the man.

“Spirit too, too bad she yours, of course I’d be glad to relieve you of the burden.”

Cash became too busy trying to control Kate’s renewed efforts to break free, to prevent Rocket from gathering her purse from the pavement. He knew what would come before Rocket fingered her ID badge on the strap. Kate must have seen the man’s interest, she instantly stilled her struggles.

Rocket’s cold black gaze raised slowly to Kate’s before confronting Cash.

“Dangerous playmate, Roach.”

“She works in the cafeteria, useful not dangerous, Rocket.”

Katie decided Hayden’s friend reminded her of a horror movie villain as he studied her, taking in her soiled white uniform. Katie tried to tell herself this wasn’t really happening, Hayden was a cop! He wouldn’t let them hurt her! Would he?

Waiting to get her answer seemed absurd. She held no idea of how far any narc would go to keep his cover from being blown. Katie decided she didn’t want to know.

“I told you, the lady and I have a business deal coming down. Don’t we kitten?”

Avoiding his lips at her temple Katie didn’t need any more of this game, “let me go you bastard!”

“Now, now, kitten we haven’t finished negotiating.” Cash looked pointedly at Rocket, wondering if the bastard would ignore his hint to leave.

“Why don’t you both come to the club tonight?” Tearing his eyes away from Kate’s glaring ones, “that is if you can tame the tigress by then, but not too much Roach, I like’m wild.”

Katie snapped her mouth shut as Rocket disappeared into the pedestrians moving around them.

“Now will you let me go?”

“Not a chance Kate, he still watching.”

Katie refused to look, besides, the jerk Hayden gave her didn’t allow it. “Uh, uh, kitten your more convincing when you’re mad.”

“I doubt I’d ever be anything but that in your company!”

He moved so fast Katie couldn’t say how she ended up facing him. Feeling his iron strength against her awoke the desire he so easily stirred back to life. She suffered his overwhelming heat, making Katie’s head drop to shield the betrayal she feared he’d see. But Hayden proved to be more of obnoxious than she could have imagined.

Cupping her chin in his hand Cash forced her to meet his gaze. If Rocket was watching Cash wanted him to get an eye full, “Too bad they can’t actually burn me kitten. It would solve both our problems.”

Katie never really played the dense female, but she suddenly felt the necessity. “My only problem is your continued use of brute force against me.”

“Try again kitten.” Cash enjoyed her far too much to let her try to block him out. His dick wanted to bury itself deep inside her sweet sex. He never felt such an instant desire for a woman before.

“Look, I’m tired, it’s been a long, unusual day, all I want to do is go home and soak in a tub. Oh yeah, and search the want ads, again!” He didn’t look very pleased with her honest answer. When his gaze left hers and fastened on her lips, Katie’s adrenaline started pumping. “Hayden....”

“Roach, that’s what I’m called.”

“I can imagine why.”

His smile could have devastated a lesser person, but Katie already discovered how dangerous Mr. Undercover could be to her sensual physique.

Male force won over the struggle she waged not to revisit his passionate side. Only this time Cash forgot about any easy sampling and Katie’s response started deep inside before gathering power and racing through her like wildfire.

Cash rested his forehead against hers, their quickened breath battled each other before he found the stamina to straighten way. “He’s right you’re no kitten...”

She couldn’t hide the blush flooding her face. Losing control seemed to come with a man. “Can we end this display now?”

“Tch, tch, such a tough lady. Who burned you, Kate?”

Her eyes flashed with more than the fire he’d given life to, making Hayden regret how deep his barb cut through her. “Kate, I’m...”

“Forget it.” She pushed him away and stormed off.

Cash’s hand closed over the purse she left at his feet. A spring of laughter escaped as he watched her get lost in the crowd, surprising even him. He reached inside her purse and pulled out the wallet and looked at the address, “Spring Valley.” The smile left his lips, “Damn you, Kate!” He wondered if she knew he couldn’t follow her with this? He smiled at his own answer, “but you don’t know me, Miss Kate.”

EXCERPT From Afternoon Delights

Moonlight and Madness

Jewel Adams

“I’ve never been so embarrassed.” She pulled her heels off as she sunk down in the sand. The beach stretched out before her and she wished she could enjoy the beautiful moonlight on the water. “Oh, but that would be impossible!”

Why she even thought she would reach the hotel easier walking the beach, escaped her. “He is the one that should be out here, but no, he probably doesn’t even know I’m out here…alone, hurt and totally pissed off!”

“Oh, but the husband does know exactly where his ticked off wife may be.”

She refused to look at him, wishing he’d disappear as he caught up with her on the beach.

“I’m not going to do that.”

“What?” She bit her lip, regretting her curiosity.

“Leave you alone.”

She stopped dead in the sand, trying to stay upright. “Go away!”

He smiled as he looked her up and down. “No, sorry, can’t do that.”

“You…”

“Ahh, you don’t have to say it. I know what a creep I was in there.”

“Creep is mild, Jake.”

She shook off his hand on her arm, not wanting to talk with him. Somehow she never won any arguments with him. He always seemed to come out the winner, why was that?

“Why the hell do you stay married to me if you want to fuck the first whore that comes on to you at that party!”

His silence seemed to vibrate off the waves crashing against the sand. She walked off in front of him to the water’s edge, letting the water rush in and over her feet.

She could feel him behind her and wrapped her arms around herself.

“Susan, I’m sorry. I never realized that is how you saw it.”

The tears rolling down her face betrayed how deeply he did hurt her.

“How else could I take it? What would you think if some man crawled into my lap and started kissing me?”

“I’d kill him.”

The dead cold delivery of his answer is what finally made her turn and face him.

“That’s right, I’d kill any man that touched you, Susan.”

Her head shook against what he said and what his actions delivered. “Then why all the antics, Jake?”

His gaze dropped to the sand, where he dug his shoe toe in. She actually bent down to see what his expression might be, glad for the moonlight.

When he finally looked up, she held her breath for his answer.

“I wanted you to notice.”

“What?”

“I want you to see me again, Susan. I want you to think I’m attractive, wanted, anything to make you desire me again.”

“Wow…” Never in a hundred lives did she expect that answer. “What makes you think I don’t desire you?”

She could see him watching her, looking at her as if she’d disappear. “You don’t act like you care anymore.”

“Care! Holy shit, Jake, I nearly killed that bitch in there!”

He actually had the audacity to snicker. “Yeah, you did, felt damn good too.”

“Oh my, you really did do that on purpose.”

“Heck yes.”

“Jake, we aren’t kids any longer, we have kids and a home, a dog, two cars. Games aren’t allowed!”

He threw his arms out. “See! This is why I did it. You are so wrapped up in what we have become, you’ve lost that impulse to have fun, like making wild passionate love in the sand. This is where we have lost the umph in our lives, Susan.”

“I have not.”

“Really? Okay, come on, show me, show me how you can still have fun.”

“Here?”

“Yes, right here, on this beach.” He made an act of looking all around. “There is no one here but us.”

She took her own look and knew no one was around. Dare she do it? Could she?

Do You Believe in Magic?
By
Jewel Adams

The flash of shiny metal caught his attention just in time to move as the bullet whizzed past his head. “Hey! Inside! I’m Captain Clay Banyon of the US Army, put the damn gun away!” He took a deep breath to control his temper. “The Indians are gone, you can come out now.”
Ali’s only problem was she didn’t want to come out or even be here! Just seeing anything beyond the stagecoach might be more than her mind could handle.
When Ali gave in and played her god-daughter’s game pretending they live in the old west, using a garage sale—crystal ball, little did she know—magic would change their lives forever.
She possessed a name, a profession and she felt ridiculously grateful to the power that brought them to this…Magic Time.

THE WRITER'S QUEST
BY
Jewel Adams
© 2008

There must be a way to wear different hats.
Life's demands pull us this way and that.
The characters scream, 'write my scene not his!'
There's always a conflict resolved in sweet bliss.
Words to write down before they are lost.
Only a writer would realize their cost.

Each little word tells us the tale,
of heroes so special, the ultimate male.
These words can't be written in chaos or din.
The house must be quiet, the kids settled in.
Creating is never an easy affair.
It's dreaming and grasping words from thin air.

No one has said this craft would be easy.
No guarantees the words would be steamy.
Writing must be the ultimate high.
Why else would we work until sunrise,
struggle with commas, colons and ellipses,
de-was and de-had, and fix all those tenses.

Until our lines all flow like the wind.
It's amazing how well they all sound in the end.
When you've completed the polish and cutting,
you face the real truth of now submitting.
A stranger, not family, will see your pages.
The ones you've kept secret for ages and ages.

A book is a child, a babe new born.
It should never be handled roughly or torn.
Who is this person that says he can tell
that the words you created are ready to sell.
Such a decision must be very taxing.
It's only a stranger's opinion we're asking.

For in the end you accomplished your goal.
You gave birth to a story, a tale to be told.
Its crimson and gold, shines like a star.
A possession no one can take or discard.
It's yours my friend; your dream put in prose.
And nothing can tarnish the scent of that rose.
