NY Times and USA Today bestseller Caridad Pineiro shares her favorite Man Candy!
Thank you all so much for sharing your holiday traditions! The winner of the $10 gift card is Elke!
Since you liked last week’s helper so much, I’m sharing another photo of him after he finished helping me wrap up some gifts. What do you think? Did he do a good job with the wrapping?
December 1. I’m already in panic mode about the upcoming Christmas holiday. I don’t have a list. Forget about checking it twice. I really need to start prepping the house for the big Christmas Eve bash and think about all the gifts for my friends and family.
Luckily, I have a helper for all this! He’s even decked out in part of his Santa suit so it’s helping me get in the holiday spirit. What do you think? Is he a good choice for Man Candy Monday?
Even now, Howie Long is still sexy. Love that militarily neat hair and sharp jaw. keen blue eyes and big body. Of course, it helps that he’s a fellow Villanova alumni and Hall of Famer.
Hope you enjoy today’s Man Candy. Also, a shout out to all my buddies in Buffalo. Thinking of you and hoping you get through this horrible weather safely.

Woo hoo, it is an exciting day! It’s the release day for the Take a Chance box set featuring Just One Night, One Special Night and One Last Night. Plus I’m just finishing up Stay the Night which should be out in early December! Unfortunately I had a laptop crash which slowed things down a little this weekend. 🙁
I hope you’ll take a moment to check out this box set. I have loved writing these stories and I hope you will enjoy reading them just as much!
We had a little contest the other day on Facebook (so sorry to those not on FB! I promise we will do another one here soon!) to pick what Rafe might look like for STAY THE NIGHT, the next book in the Take a Chance series!
So the winner of an acknowledgement in Stay the Night, as picked by random.org is JoAn Varner! The overwhelming choice for Rafe was the clean cut version and so here he is on this #ManCandyMonday!
Stay the Night will be out the first week of December! Can’t wait for you to read this really emotional and sexy story about a Navy Seal husband and his wife who have grown apart and now must decide if there is a future together for them!

I’m busy working on the next book in the Take a Chance series – Stay the Night. I’ve been having an interesting time of it since this is the story of a married couple who have grown apart over the years of Rafe’s military duty. Elena, Rafe’s wife, has been home and growing and changing over the years while Rafe feels like he’s been left behind, especially when he comes home to a very different, sexier more independent woman, and the home she’s just bought for them. It’s a lot of conflict early on as the couple have to decide if the passion that forced them into a marriage as teens has enough love to let them build a future together.
In an early scene in the book, Rafe is recollecting the first time he and Elena made love on the beach. I was looking for photos for today and this one caught my eye. I could picture a young Rafe resting beneath a pier, waiting for Elena for another of their passionate night time encounters.
I hope you all have a good Monday!
Lots of things happening this Monday! For starters, from today until November 3, I will be donating all proceeds from sales of ONE LAST NIGHT to a nationally recognized organization that helps wounded military men, women and their families.
ONE LAST NIGHT is the story of Marine Lieutenant Trevor Mason who is home from war and has just one wish: to reconcile with his estranged father. But when his father abruptly cancels their dinner plans, his dad’s sexy intern Maggie Sullivan shows up to offer an apology and compassion. The sexual heat between Trevor and Maggie is immediate. Can one last night turn into something much more lasting?
ONE LAST NIGHT is specially priced at 99 cents for a limited time and is available at these retailers:
For some more housekeeping before we get to today’s Man Candy!

What do you think about the tattoo craze? I’m not sure I’m a fan of it, especially when entire arms and other body parts are so filled with “art” that skin is not visible. What about today’s choice? Thumbs up or down?
