Today, I'm happy to welcome Michele
Kimbrough to my blog. She's showing off her new book, Dangerously in Love.
Having read it, I can tell you it's an adrenalin-filled ride that involves
love, lust and betrayal.
About the Book
During a
sizzling-hot Chicago summer, landscaper and former attorney Hilton
"Hill" Parker becomes dangerously involved with the sultry Caitlin Church, whose
casual flirtation turns Hill's world upside down. But Hill has no idea the sea
of trouble in which he is about to
swim, and that certain events are already set in motion for him to take the dive. He soon learns that Caitlin is more
cunning than anyone ever dreamed.
About the

Packers). She’s an Air Force veteran and formerly a nonprofit corporate

coffee and red wine as the best discoveries of all times.

either grow them or destroy them. Her passion is writing and she’s written
freelance articles and contributed to various blogs. Dangerously in
Love is her third novel.

Excerpt
“What’s going on, Caitlin?” Hill asked,
concerned something had happened. “You sounded distraught on the phone...” He
followed her down the hall, admiring the way her long stride swayed her hips.
Instead of her usual floral scent, a cool fresh fragrance trailed her.
She pushed through the kitchen door and led
him to the massive den. “Can I get you something to drink?” She bit down on her
bottom lip, her ankles crossed as she stood, looking as if she’d spin into a
pirouette at any moment.
“No.” He looked around, taking in his
environment. He was uncomfortable standing in Adam’s home, thinking about all
the things he wanted to do with his wife. It was reckless, too, them being
there together—Hill could feel the tension in the air. Suppose Adam came home
unexpectedly? What if Adam had cameras hidden in the house, which was something
Hill imagined Adam would do? Then what?
She pushed her hair away from her face with
one practiced sweep of her hand. “You can sit if you’d like.”
She noticed how far away from her he
sat—deliberately. The rugged scent of his body drew her nearer to him. She
scooted closer and closer until she could feel his breath against her skin.
“You can touch me,” she said, gazing into eyes that seemed surprised at her boldness. She reached for his hand and pressed it against her heart. A fierce possessiveness came over him, and he grabbed hold of her, his fingers caressing, stroking, and taunting her. There was nothing more exquisite than the feel of his hands caressing her body. And Hill’s touch was warm and inviting. It was a sensation like no other. Her body pleaded silently for him to take her—here and now. But he pulled back, releasing her from the warmth of his touch.
“I’m not going to break,” she said as she stood in front of him, unbuttoning her sleeveless shirtdress to unveil full, plump breasts. She ran her hands over his smooth, chiseled chest and gazed into his eyes. His hands explored her body from her neck down to her hips. His lips pressed tenderly against her bare shoulder.
“I want you, Hill.” She let the dress drop to the floor as she reached for his hand and pressed it against her breasts. Her gaze pleaded for him to consume her—and she hoped with all hope that he could see her burning desire.
