It's been a while since you've heard any news from me and it's time for an EXCITING update!
Today I get to share the GORGEOUS cover for The Librarian Principle, created by the equally gorgeous and talented Shannon Lumetta!
PRE-ORDER on AMAZON
Annaliese Harper knows that
one tiny mistake can jeopardize a career before it’s even begun. Letting your
boss find the extensive collection of porn on your personal laptop is one way.
Sleeping with him is another. Liese manages to do both.
As the new librarian at a
prestigious small-town private high school, Liese is drawn to her sexy,
charismatic principal, Ryder Whitehall—an attraction she refuses to acknowledge
given their relationship and her recent liberation from a delusional ex-boyfriend.
Liese is certain Ryder’s
flirtation is the product of her sex-deprived imagination—until he discovers
her digital porn stash during working hours and demands a private meeting.
Behind closed doors, their attraction explodes into a dangerous, passionate
affair that not only threatens their jobs and reputations, but most of all,
their hearts.
RELEASE DATE: DECEMBER 21, 2014

EXCERPT
Liese was in the middle
of adjusting her skirt when her phone chimed. She rummaged around inside her
purse and found Marissa had sent her a message. Against her better judgment,
she checked it. There was no text, only a photo, and it was too small in the message
window to adequately discern the content. She clicked the image, and it
expanded on the screen.
A
noise that sounded vaguely like a cat dying escaped her. Marissa had done it
again. Ryder's head was superimposed onto the body of yet another well-hung
porn star, and this time the image also included a woman—superimposed with
Liese’s face—sprawled out over a desk, much like the one she stood in front of
now.
“Hi
there.”
Liese
screamed, caught completely unaware. She turned to find Ryder standing in her
office doorway, leaning against the jamb, his coat thrown over his arm,
briefcase in hand. His suit jacket was unbuttoned, giving him a more relaxed
look than usual. And sexier. If that was possible.
“Sorry,
I didn't mean to frighten you,” he said. “You seemed rather invested in
whatever you were reading just now.”
Liese
hit the button on her phone, and the screen went blank. “It was my girlfriend,”
she explained.
Ryder
stared at her, unblinking.
At
his lack of reaction, she elaborated. “My best friend—she's expecting me later
this evening. She was just checking in.”
“Oh.”
He sounded relieved for some reason she couldn't fathom. “Am I keeping you? We
can reschedule for next week if you need to go.”
“No,
no, it's fine. I'm happy to meet with you, unless you have another engagement.”
Liese slid her phone back into her purse, turning off the volume as she did so.
“I
have no prior engagements.”
They
stared at each other for a few interminable seconds before Liese realized they
were on her territory, and she should invite him in. “Would you like to work in
my office or out there?” Liese gestured to the empty library beyond.
He
glanced over his shoulder and then surveyed their current surroundings. “I
think your office would be more private.”
“Sure.
Right.” Liese nodded, clutching the back of her chair.
“Unless
you'd be more comfortable working out there,” Ryder supplied, watching her
speculatively from his spot in the doorway.
“What?
Oh, no. Not at all. I'm perfectly comfortable with you in me.”
His
shock formed a counterpoint to her horror.
“In my office! I'm
perfectly comfortable working with you in my office.”
