Book Description:
Christmas in Freewill
Christmas Eve, the Diamond
Saloon is empty of its people, and Pearl la Monte has a
hankering to retire early. A pounding at the Diamond’s door rids her of such a
fool notion. Her irritation rises when she sees the prissy, polite-like Garrett
standing outside.
Ethan Garrett has a powerful
need to gain succor. When the saloon’s voluptuous redheaded singer scowls at
him from the threshold of the Diamond, he doesn’t stop to think on how his ire
at her has disappeared. Or how he just wants to spend some time in her company.
When a blizzard storms in,
trapping them, will they spend their time arguing or find their irritation for
each other disguises something more?
Excerpt:
Turning on her heel, Pearl marched off toward the stairs.
A weird kind of panic jolted
through Ethan, one he’d never felt before in all his days. It was…he didn’t….
She couldn’t leave him. “Where are you going?”
She whirled to face him, her
irritation plain. “I was seeking my bed before your arrival, and now I’m
seeking it again. Help yourself to whiskey this one time. I got better things
to do.”
Shoving to his feet, he
strode to her. “Don’t just walk away when we’re discussing things.”
“We ain’t discussing
nothing. You’ll be down here, waiting out the blizzard. I’ll be in my bed,
doing what I was gonna before you arrived. That’s the end of it.”
Taking a step, she made to
leave him. Again.
He grabbed her arm. “Don’t
leave me.”
“Don’t tell me what to do.”
Glaring at him, she stood before the bar, her magnificent hair slipping from
its pins, her breasts rising and falling.
Abruptly, his mouth went
dry. Clearing his throat some, he said, “You’re supposed to offer succor to
those in need.”
“We’re closed, remember?”
Paint-less lips pressed tight together, she glared up at him.
They were so close he could
see the faint marks of freckles on her skin.
Pearl La Monte had freckles.
A kind of haze came over
him, tightening his skin and bringing with it something all-fired powerful and
completely unstoppable. All the years he’d known her crashed through him, all
the times she’d flirted with him and meant something else, all the times he’d
seen her perform on stage and wished he could have held such fire.
Grabbing her upper arms, he
hauled her against him and, ignoring her shocked gasp, he covered her mouth
with his.
About the Author:
Cassandra grew up
daydreaming, inventing fantastical worlds and marvelous adventures. Once she
learned to read (First phrase – To the Beach. True story), she was never
without a book, reading of other people’s fantastical worlds and marvelous
adventures.
Fairy tales, Famous Fives,
fantasies and fancies; horror stories, gumshoe detectives, science fiction;
Cassandra read it all. Then she discovered Romance and a true passion was born.
So, once upon a time, after
making a slight detour into the world of finance, Cassandra tried her hand at
writing. After a brief foray into horror, she couldn’t discount her true
passion. She started to write Romance and fell head over heels.
The love affair exists to
this very day.
Cassandra lives in Adelaide , South Australia .
