A Lover's Kiss by Margaret Moore

Drury turned and looked at Miss Bergerine standing in the doorway. She looked very charming wearing a pretty gown, with a shy expression on her face.

He rose and kissed both of her cheeks.

She stiffened as his lips brushed her warm, soft skin. No doubt she was surprised - as he had been by the difference in her attitude as well as her appearance.

"Good Morning," he said.

"Is this all for me?" she asked, looking up at him questioningly, her full lips half parted as if seeking another kind of kiss.

Desire - hot, intense, lustful - hit him like a blow to his head.

In spite of his tumultuous feeling, his voice was cool and calm when he spoke. "After your ordeal, I thought it would be easier for the dressmaker to come to you."

"It is very kind of you, monsieur," she murmured, looking down as coyly as any well-brought up young lady.

He could keep cool when she was angry. He had plenty of experience with tantrums and tempers and had learned to act as if they didn't affect him in the slightest.

But this affected him. She affected him.

The Bounty Hunter and the Heiress by Carol Finch

"I like being married to you. It's convenient." Eva lifted her chin rebelliously.

Raven barked a laugh. "Not as convenient as you may think if we conitinue to ride the stage. We'd have to sleep together to keep up appearances, sweetheart."

Damn, she hadn't thought that far ahead. Eva drew herself up to full stature. She couldn't resist a challenge.

"I can endure sleeping together if you can, sweetheart<>," she countered defiantly. "Turn around, please."

"What for?"

"So I can retrieve the money I stuffed down my dress."

Raven grinned scampishly and shook his head. "Being married and all, there's no reason for me not to watch. ..."

Possessed by the Highlander by Terri Brisbin

"You did not come," he said.

"I could not."

"I wanted you there. I wanted to see you," Duncan whispered, close enough for Marian to feel his breath on her face. Then he kissed her neck, the heat of his mouth sending chills through her. Still, she dared not move."I wanted to taste you."

He leaned down until his lips met hers. It was only a moment before the kiss changed from tender to possessive and she lost the ability to think or to move. Heat raced through her and centered itself in that place deep inside. Soon Marian discovered that her limbs had lost the ability to support her and she leaned toward him.

She'd been completely prepared to fight him away. Now she was certain. He slid his arms around her, touching her stomach, then her breasts. The caresses excited her, making her shiver.

Was this passion, then? Was this what made men lose their minds and what brought clans to war?

The Devil and Drusilla by Paula Marshall

Diana stared at him. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen.

He resembled nothing so much as the statue of Apollo that Jeremy's father brought from Greece. His hair, cut short in the latest fashion, was golden and slightly curling. His eyes were as blue as the sunlit sea and his mouth was long and shapely. He gave off an aura of cold stregth and assured masculinity, which was reflected in a voice so hard and measured that it shocked Drusilla into silence.

Giles struggled upright and said indignantly, "Who the devil are you, anyway?"

The stranger laughed and rose. "You might say the devil himself if you wished. But I would perfer you call me Devenish."

A Scandalous Lady by Francesca Shaw

Her face was tipped up to his, her lips soft and full, her eyes imploring. "My lord, please ..." It was irresistible, even if it was not what he intended - yet. The subtle scent she wore like honeysuckle on a warm summer night, had fretted his senses since he had first come close to her in the Green Room. Now, so near, it filled his senses.

Before he could stop himself, Nicholas reached out and stroked one finger along the fine line of her jaw. She started, her lips parting unconsciuosly in an invitation he could not resist. He bent and kissed her, catching her in his arms and drawing her into his warmth, his strength. For a moment the slender, supple figure was pliant in his arms, the lips returned the pressure of his, hesitatingly, with a naivete that was the last thing he expected.

Of all the things he had expected to discover this evening it was not that Miss Davide was not only untouchable, but, quite literally, untouched. ...

The Harlequin More Than Words Program is looking for a few good women. Somewhere right now a woman’s compassion is improving the quality of life in her community-not only for herself, but for those she cares about most. With each act of kindness, each word of support, she is proving that real-life heroines do exist. At Harlequin, we believe that her story should be told! We are soliciting nominations of ordinary women who have made extraordinary contributions to their communities. Five women will be chosen as Harlequin More Than Words award recipients each year, and Harlequin will make a donation of $10,000 to each of their chosen causes. A collection of short stories inspired by their lives will be written by a selection of our most acclaimed authors. These stories will be published and shared with our readers, with proceeds from the book reinvested in Harlequin’s charitable initiatives. Submissions can be made online or through the mail and the deadline is September 5, 2008. Visit www.HarlequinMoreThanWords.com for details.

Hello, my friend,
As the Spinners sung,
"WHENEVER YOU CALL ME,
WHENEVER YOU NEED ME
I'LL BE AROUND”

Room... my heart and soul is endless,
My time is only for those who take me as I am
You can have me
But if you break me
I have already forgiving you
As God would have me to do
So come to me
Love me
Try to understand me
If you can't
Don't fear me
Just take more time
To know me
My friend

A passage from my best selling romance novel, BRUSH STROKES @ Amazon. com
“A man may admire what a woman does for a living; he may admire her education and social circle. He may be enamored with her physical beauty, but he only truly falls in love, with the softest and warmest part of her, her soul.”

Thank you so much for adding me to your circle of friends. You have a great space it’s very warm and inviting with a lot of amazing information. I look forward to our friendship.

I would like to introduce myself and tell you about my new book…
I am author, speaker, therapist, coach and humanitarian, has lived a life that is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit, which is brilliantly captured in my Best-selling memoir, Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Journey. For over thirty years I have helped and inspired thousands of people to move beyond their personal challenges in order to explore and embrace the possibilities in their own lives. I have spoken at venues from Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center, New York, to Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. I have a regular contributor to Global Woman Magazine and have been featured on numerous television shows including a special segment on her life and work on NBC's Nightly News with Tom Brokaw and a nationally televised documentary.

Every moment is a choice and every choice reverberates.
It's a frequency that echoes not only within the walls of our
own personhood, but it pulses like and ever-expanding eddy
into our environment, touching and potentially influencing everyone who comes in contact with it. Every moment presents an opportunity to "pay it forward."

Kind and Loving Regards,
Sandy Brewer
