New Release! Smoldering Passion by Adriana Kraft

414 Views

When the sparks flare up, is it love or just sex—and what must each of them risk to find out?

You won’t want to miss this sizzling
novel featuring a struggling young art student and a New York center for
sexuality and sex studies, just released at Extasy Books. Here’s a sneak peek
with just a touch of steam…

EXCERPT

“So,” Melissa said quietly,
feeling her cheeks warm. “Am I your type, Harry?”

Harry smiled and got to his feet.
He reached out his hand for her. “Stand up, woman, and let me show you.”

She stood, and he gathered her in
his arms. His strong hands cupped her rump, her breasts crushed against his
chest, and their lips met in a midair tango. She smiled against his. Yes, she
must be his type. He sure was her type.

Holding hands, he guided her to
the tall window overlooking Central Park. Rain continued to pelt the window,
but it was refreshing to lean against Harry’s frame and imagine the park before
them.

He nibbled on her ear and laved at
her neck.

Melissa craned her neck, basking
in the feel of his tongue. She experienced a sudden pang of guilt for getting
him to talk about Aunt Phoebe without sharing her own story. Maybe she should’ve
simply blurted it out.

His tongue scraped across the roof
of her mouth. She no longer had a pressing need to talk about her aunt. “Mmm,”
she moaned, “that’s lovely. I love rainy Monet mornings like this.”

“Me, too. Particularly when I can
share them with you.” He snickered. “Though I would’ve expected you to prefer
bright sunshiny days with pristine blue skies.”

“I like those, too. But don’t
forget, I’m an artist. I have many moods. I also enjoy the first snowfall, and
certainly spring flowers.”

“I bet you like to jump in leaf
piles, too.”

“How did you know?” she said,
squeezing his butt.

“A lucky guess.”  His nose rubbed back and forth across her
neck. His busy hands slipped inside her robe to cup a breast each.

She took a long breath as he played
with her nipples. “So cozy,” she murmured, lowering her eyelids.

Her eyes popped open when she
realized he was tugging at the sash of her robe. “Harry,” she scolded, “we’re
standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window. Someone may see us.”

Her passion
smolders. Will it ignite?

When art
student Melissa Hopkins finally unpacks the two boxes her Aunt Phoebe left for
her and sees Phoebe’s black and white photos, it’s like opening Pandora’s Box.
A simple quest to find a new job morphs into an about face—not just in her art,
but in her career and personal life. Short on funds now that her graduate stipend
is ending, she applies to work where Aunt Phoebe once worked: a center for
sexuality and sex studies.

Sworn off women after a disastrous
relationship, Center Director Harry Gage ignores the danger signals and hires
the striking young woman who reminds him of his former lover. Her air of
innocence will captivate center viewers, so he’s sure she’ll be a hit on
camera. What he’s not prepared for is how she pierces his heart.

When the sparks flare up, is it
love or just sex—and what must each of them risk to find out?

I’ve had the pleasure of speaking to the creator of contemporary romance novel, Sierra Falls by Martha O’Sullivan. She writes what she knows from beautiful Lake Tahoe. Each of her books; Second Chance, Chance Encounter, Last Chance, and Christmas in Tahoe were created with that lovely town in mind. She has a connection with it and her love of it shines in her tales. Please enjoy her interview.
