Time for Shamrocks and the Equinox

It's been one of those months, you know? I can't quite wrap my head around it being nearly time for shamrocks. The equinox is coming up, so that means we can move the clocks again soon. Yay!

What happened in February?

Well...

The tot had his first college visit. We went to my alma mater, Kent State University for the Theater program. Looks like he wants to be a Golden Flash. :-)

But not only that, he took the ACT for the first time, the preparation for which involved having to get one of those prep books and explaining that it's not the end of the world to have to take it. But that's tot drama.

Speaking of Tot drama, his school production of The History of Dating is at the end of February. Craziness. I'd love the chance for things to slow down.

We did have good news, though. Ozzy, the house pony, doesn't have cancer like the vet said. We took him to a specialist who ran all the tests, etc. only to find out he's got hypothyroidism - aka underactive thyroid. Talk about a relief. Not cancer and it can be handled. Phew. I mean, look at this face. I'm glad it's getting better.

But back to books...

I busted my behind this past month to get not only the next Jordan Brothers story, but a fresh new MM Romance for MLR Books done. I'm done with the Jordan Brothers book, but not the MLR.

And I did mention contests. I'm taking part in Ellen Mint's April Fool's Day contest. Stay tuned for more details!!

This month has been a rush of madness with the Friends group. Not bad madness. Just busy. It's membership drive time and I'm the membership coordinator. Oh, and I'm the chair person for our event, Books and Brunch. Four authors, brunch and fun. Want tickets? Ask me. I have 6. $12 each.

Remember the library needs your help. If there's a Friends group in your area, join it. Again, the library needs your help. Plus, you get to hang out with cool people. You just might end up being a Veep like me. Cool, huh?

On top of all that, I've decided this year for The Reader and Author Get Togehter in Cincinnati, I'd make a quilt that's been inspired by my book, The Sweetest October. I'm not the best quilter, but I'm trying.

I have an update! It's done!!! The quilt is done!

I'm so glad it's done. I think it turned out well. Hope you do, too.

Speaking of writing, check out the sidebar for the new releases. I'll post upcoming releases below. Also, since you're a newsletter subscriber, you get the only access to a free serial story. Yes! You! You're special. You're the ones who get the story. Once it's complete, I'll put it on the various etailers, but for now, you're the ones who get first access. Very cool! Check out part eight of Single in Space!

Thanks for reading and being fabulous. I love each and every one of you. Thanks for your support.

XOXOXO

He wanted to kiss away her upset, but he’d caused every bit. “I’m sorry.”

“I am, too.” Luna sighed. “I’m ashamed to admit I let Deacon convince me that you weren’t being faithful.”

Deacon? Faithful? What? “Lu, I never cheated on you. Never wanted to.”

“Not with Jessica?”

He shook his head. The entire time he’d been with Luna, he hadn’t been with anyone else.

“Not with Claire?”

“Huh-uh.” He’d been friends with her, but she didn’t make him happy the way Luna did and he wanted Claire to date Jackson.

“There were pictures of you together.”

He frowned. “We were in the same training class and I fixed her up with Jackson and Devin.”

“Really?” Tears slipped down her cheeks. “That wasn’t you I saw kissing her? Holding her? I saw them.”

“I hugged her when she told me she’d agreed to marry Seth, but I never kissed her. I wish I could see the photos.” He’d get to the bottom of this and fix things with Luna. Claire was a friend. Nothing more.

“Deacon had them.”

Damn it. Deacon loved to remind him he wasn’t good enough to be with a woman like Luna. He liked to mention Luna would leave him if given the chance. “You’re sure it was me in those photos?”

She nodded. “I know your tattoo. Your face was in the shadows, but it was my name over your heart.”

“Were we on the beach?” He didn’t go shirtless except at the beach or pool. He didn’t run shirtless, either.

“You were at the preflight picnic for the first mission to the station orbiting the moon.” She toyed with his belt loops. “That’s why I left. I can’t be with someone who doesn’t want me.”

He rested his hands on the counter and touched his forehead to hers. “I can’t tell you it wasn’t me because I can’t see the images, but I can guarantee I never kissed or slept with Claire. She wanted me to propose to you.” He still had the ring and wanted to give it to her right now.

“She did?”

“Yeah. She said I got lucky when I met you. She wasn’t wrong. The night we split, I’d planned to propose. I had the whole thing planned out.” Then she walked and his heart tore in two.

“Charlie?”

“I did.” He brushed tears from her cheeks. “I don’t know what Deacon told you, but he wanted to be with you. He’d tell me you deserved better and I always agreed I’m not the greatest catch. He tried to split other couples, too.”

“He said he was my friend.”

“He wanted you to get close to him,” Charlie said. “He was good at getting into people’s heads. He played games.”

“He told me you cheated on me and gave me a note that you’d written to Claire.” Her voice strengthened. “You didn’t give her a love note, did you?”

“I don’t write notes.” He hated his handwriting. No one could ever read his scrawl. “No one can make out my briefings.”

She bowed her head. “He played me.”

“Doesn’t matter.” He didn’t blame her for being upset. He’d spent too much time away from her and put a lot of distance between them. She’d been alone and Deacon knew how to get into her good graces.

“It does matter,” she said. “I trusted him. Dumb, dumb, dumb. I never talked to you. I should’ve gone right to you and demanded an explanation.”

He kissed her. He could be pissed, but why? What had happened was in the past and they needed to move forward.

“Did you want to change your mind?” she asked.

He shook his head. “I don’t because I trust you. We had problems and ignored them. We don’t now.”

“Charlie.” She held onto his wrists.

“Let’s use this as our second chance and me starting over.” If she’d give him the chance, he’d make her proud.

“You’re going to space.”

“But I’ll have a reason to come home.”

She splayed her hand over his heart. Her touch seared him and he closed his hand over hers. She met his gaze. “I want you to come home.”

“To you?”

“Yes.”

“Then I will.” He could romance her again and prove his love was only for her. This time, he’d be better.

“Um, Charlie? Where is the film crew? I thought they were on the way.”

“I might have given the desk staff the notion to stall them so we could talk.” He grinned. He wanted as much time as possible to get through to Luna before the cameras invaded their life. “We needed privacy before the chaos.”

“I appreciate it.” She threaded her arms around him and her legs around his waist. “So this time around we have fun?”

“Yes, we do.” He kissed her. He still wasn’t sure she’d be there when he got back from the mission, but he’d gladly work like hell to prove he loved her.
