Good morning and Happy Friday. It’s Freebie Friday and I have 250 e-copies of JUST ONE NIGHT to giveaway. This is one of my fav stories and the first one in the Take a Chance Military Series. To download your free copy of JUST ONE NIGHT, just go to http://www.instafreebie.com/free/mpx6b.
If you read and enjoy JUST ONE NIGHT, please take a moment to leave a review for me!
My nephew and godson, who also happens to be born on my b’day, just had a baby with his lovely wife and two weekends ago, we went to the baptism. This photo is of his mom’s, my sister’s, baptism in Cuba. That’s my dad all the way to the left and my brother all the way to the right. I’m the little curly-haired girl next to the man holding the baby – my sister!
I’ve been stuck on the next scene for EMBRACE THE NIGHT, but had a revelation this morning about it! Yeah. I’ll write it on the way home and hopefully have this story ready for you in early September. I’ll also have a new book for you with a baseball hero – ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. This is a contemporary romance revolving around a fictional NJ baseball team. The sequel to it – A WINNING SEASON – will be out in October.
Today’s Write Wednesday inspiration is all about recipes. You know I’ve been sharing them with you and I’ve decided to put them all together into a cookbook. I’ve been searching for the just right image for the cover and in truth, it occurred to me that just one image would not do it. I like the idea of a collage for the front cover of the book. RECIPES FOR THE ROMANTIC SOUL will not only have recipes, it’ll have stories about my family, friends and/or scenes in my books that inspired the recipe.
For now, if you’d like to try out some recipes, please visit the Cook’s Treat section of the website!

He was the kind of man that every woman would want . . .
Sexy and handsome Rafael Castillo was a star athlete and honor student. Everyone knew Rafe was going places and would make his hometown proud. Elena Martinez dreams of the day that the friendship she shares with Rafe will turn into something more. When that moment comes she doesn’t hesitate to grab it, and Rafe, with both hands.
She was the woman he’d dreamed of and whose life he’d ruined . . .
Rafe has been in love with Elena since the fifth grade when she stood up for him and stopped bullies from teasing him for being different. In the years since then, Rafe has watched Elena grow into a smart, beautiful, and desirable woman. He had hoped Elena would be a part of his future and was determined to show her how special she is to him.
Can they forget the past in order to build their future?
A fateful night of passion will change the future both Elena and Rafe had envisioned. Forced into marriage by an unexpected pregnancy, they find themselves separated by the demands of impending parenthood. Rafe enlists in the Navy Seals to support his new wife and the child who is on the way, but Fate is determined to throw them another curve. After Elena’s miscarriage and years of separation during Rafe’s tours of duty, have they grown too far apart or is love still possible between them?
I caught a promo for Murder in the First and it intrigued me. So far, I’m enjoying it. Caution, though. It is very violent at times, but the intersecting story lines are very interesting as are the characters.
Two of the heroes are police officer and are today’s Man Candy: Taye Diggs and Ian Anthony Dale.
You may know Taye Diggs from RENT and a number of other movies and shows. Ian Anthony Dale first caught my eye in Hawaii Five-O. So enjoy today’s double dose of Man Candy!

I’m always striving to be healthier and to find ways to get more fit. Since I try to keep up on news about such things, I’d thought I’d share them with you in a new Friday segment – Fitness Friday!
Check out these articles on various aspects of being more fit and healthy.

Now I have to say one thing about the article on the types of calories not mattering as much as the calories themselves. I’ve been using my Fitbit and religiously tracking what I eat and how active I am. When I eat the same number of calories, but include “bad carbs” such as bread, crackers, cookies and pasta, I not only gain weight immediately, but I experience belly bloat and other things. I’m not saying you all will experience the same thing, but you need to listen to your body and what it’s telling you about the food you’re eating.
Speaking of Fitbit, if you want to become a pal and cheer me on while I cheer you on, you can friend me at https://www.fitbit.com/user/3GZT48.
