This is my son, Steve. He's 20 now. This excerpt is from NOW AND FOREVER 1, A LOVE STORY:

Mac felt his attraction to Callie growing, pulling him to her. He couldn‘t take his eyes off
her lovely face or her beautiful breasts. He knew he shouldn‘t stare at her chest and he tried, but
when she came into his office wearing a low-cut blouse and bent over to put papers on his desk,
he was mesmerized. He looked away before she noticed, he thought, but sometimes it was a
close call. Still he felt she had a painful secret. While her beauty drew him, her quiet pain made
him cautious.

***************************

This excerpt is from NOW AND FOREVER 2, THE BOOK OF DANNY:
Her hands stopped, he closed his fingers around hers and she lifted her eyes to his.
“You’re right,” she said, hunger evident in her gaze.
“You deserve a man who can send you to the moon,” he murmured. He gazed at her face,
lovely in the candle glow. He focused on her delicate mouth and inviting lips. He couldn’t keep his eyes from traveling
over her body. His fingertips tingled when his gaze lit on her breasts, wondering how they would feel, anxious to find out but afraid to rush her.

*************************************************

 This excerpt is from  THE MARRIAGE LIST:

“So…is this a job interview for a wife?” She persisted.
He took a sip from his wine glass.
“Getting to know you, that’s all. I take a keen interest in all my dates,” he said, sidestepping the question.
She eyed him suspiciously when the waiter arrived with their food.
“All your dates? And am I one of many…hundreds…thousands?” she teased.
He laughed. “Right now, you’re the one and only.” He put down his glass and his gaze met hers.
Good and let’s keep it that way. She grinned at him.

This is my son, David. He's 24 now. Here is an excerpt from THE LOVE LIST sequel to The Marriage List:

With his light brown hair falling in his eyes, he reminded her of a large puppy with his tail between his legs, and her heart lurched. Grey slipped one arm around her waist and drew her to him. His other arm went around her shoulders and he tightened his grip.
Carrie melted into his arms, resting her forehead against his chest
and sobbed. He stroked her hair.
“I’m so sorry I hurt you. I love you so much. Say you’ll never
leave me, no matter what stupid thing I say or do.”
*************************************************

Here is an excerpt from SUNNY DAYS, MOONLIT NIGHTS:

“I don’t know when I’ve had so much fun. Thanks,” she said, looking up at the half moon shining above.
“Me, too. You have a great voice. Draws, paints and sings. A Renaissance woman,” he said, smiling into her eyes.
“You guys are amazing. I can’t sing a cappella like that.”
“Have you tried? Don’t know till you try,” he said, watching the moonbeams catch the glow of her hair.
“No, I haven’t. There are so many things I haven’t tried yet…” she sighed.
“Here’s one you can take off the list,” he said, leaning over and kissing her.

 Here is a pic of my kids at Halloween and a snippet from APRIL'S KISS IN THE MOONLIGHT:

The dogs took off, running. April tried to run but pain stopped her and she stood still; feeling his gaze, she turned to look at him. Gavin’s eyes met hers, his breath stopping for a moment before he went back to work. April’s fingers raked her hair as she turned away from the house.
He winced when he saw her doubled over from the pain. He wanted to fold her in his arms, soothe her with kisses until each bruise disappeared. A slight heat crept into his cheeks when he remembered the engagement ring she wore. Never before had he wanted another man’s woman; this was the first time.
