About the author:

I’m originally from New York but currently live in New Jersey with my husband and
three children. I served in the Navy right after high school, a rewarding experience which instilled in me an affinity for order & discipline and a love of traveling. When I’m not
creating contemporary & erotic romance stories, I enjoy playing Bob-It or Simon and listening to music with either a hot cup of coffee or a chilled glass of wine. In addition to writing, I have a passion for photography and meeting new people.

Favorite food/dessert?

My favorite dessert is Tira mi su. My favorite food is a dish my mother makes – Cod Fish & Dumplings.

Your ‘day job’?

I’m a Dental Assistant.

Hobbies/activities when you’re not writing?

Taking pictures of nature scenes. Listening to music.

Favorite movie/last movie you saw/movie you’re planning to see?

All of the Fast & Furious movies. I still have to see number seven.

SOAK Story – Forbidden Kisses

Layla is an enlisted member of the US Navy. On a weekend trip, she meets and grows close to the perfect guy, whom she later discovers is a Navy lieutenant. According to military regulations, officers and enlisted personnel are not allowed to date or have any personal relationships, yet she can’t bear to walk away from him.

Layla was everything Ethan wanted and during his darkest moment, she was everything he needed. Unfortunately, he was not allowed to have her. According to regulations, she was forbidden.

Can military regulations keep these two apart when they’re destined to be together?

Sexy, playful and emotionally gripping, Forbidden Kisses captures the joy and pain of falling in love.

Excerpt

“So what do we do now?”

“We’ll figure something out.” He was always so positive.

“What’s to figure out?”

“That depends on what we want.”

“It doesn’t matter what we want. The only thing that matters–”

“What do you want Layla?”

“We can’t be together.”

“That’s not what I asked you.”

Tears pooled in my eyes, and although I tried to keep them hidden, they found their way out, and spilled down my cheeks. I lowered my head, hoping he wouldn’t notice.

“Do you need me to say it first?” He lifted my chin with his index finger. “Fine. I want you, Baby Girl. And judging by your tears, you want me too.”
