What Happens at a Buffet….Part XI….The Final Chapter

“Oh….God…..please, no!” Zoe muttered in horror as her plate slipped from her fingers and crashed on the floor with a loud clank as the thick plastic plate hit the floor, sending food everywhere, but she barely noticed.

All of her attention was on the two large men, wearing worn “New England Patriot’s” t-shirts, who’d made the mistake of coming between several Bradfords and a fresh pan of fried chicken. This was not going to end well, her panicked mind quickly realized as she automatically glanced around to make sure that her children were a safe distance away, only remembering that… Read More

An NFH Mother’s Day Surprise

Do it,” Matthew bit out, narrowing his eyes on him as he tried to stare him down, but since Jonathan had a good six inches on his little brother, he simply shoved Matthew away and focused his attention back on the book that he was trying to read.

“Go away,” he said when Matthew came right back and commenced with his glare.

“No.”

“Are you really going to make me hurt you?” Jonathan asked around a yawn, already bored at the prospect of beating his little brother up.

“Are you going to help us?” Matthew countered, intensifying his glare.

“No.”

“Then I guess the answer… Read More

What Happens at a Buffet: Part X

“A kiss?” came the somewhat hesitant response.

“Mmmhmm, just a little kiss and I’ll let you go,” he told her as he reached up and cupped her face in his hands.

“There was never a pan of fried chicken, was there?” she whispered softly as she stepped closer.

“There might have been.”

“Might have been?”

“There’s a good possibility that there was,” he said as he pressed a kiss just below her lips.

“Then why aren’t you out there?” she asked, placing her hands on his chest seconds before she fisted his shirt and used her hold to pull herself closer.

“Because I’d much rather be… Read More

Double Dare…..is Out…But Of Course I Messed It Up!

Dear Readers who are extremely patient,

As promised, I released Double Dare as soon as it was done.

And of course, I messed it up.

The book was set for pre-sale at iBooks, B&N and a few other places. I distribute through Smashwords.com for those places so when I uploaded the book yesterday I clicked "Release Now" hoping that it would go through when the finished version of the book went through.

The wonderful team at Smashwords.com and iBooks is working very hard to fix my screwup, which inadvertently removed the pre-order setup at iBooks. They are hoping to have it up and available… Read More

A Very Bradford Easter

“This is probably the saddest thing that I’ve ever seen,” Danny said, sighing heavily as he set the brakes on his wheelchair.

“They’re not really going to sign up to do this, are they?” Jodi asked, shooting another nervous glance towards the tables where nearly two dozen Bradfords stood in line, waiting to sign up for the town’s annual Easter Egg Hunt.

Danny watched as his brother Garrett pointed out something else on the flier to the poor man that had been trying to explain for the past hour that this event was intended for children. “Yes, yes they are,” he… Read More

Excerpt & A Little Something Extra

God, would this night never end? she wondered as she glanced over her shoulder to find the manipulative bastard following her up the stairs.

“What are you doing?” she couldn’t help but ask, especially after that little declaration that he’d just delivered.

“Going to bed,” he said, looking adorably confused.

“I see,” she murmured as she pointed to the right, “then you must be lost, because your apartment is over there.”

“I sleep better with you,” he said with a shrug and a yawn that had her turning right back around and walking the rest of the way upstairs, wondering why she hadn’t… Read More

What Happens at a Buffet……Part IX

“Just act natural.”

“What?” Haley mumbled as she struggled to open her eyes and get her feet to work.

“Just walk casually,” Jason whispered as she stumbled over her own two feet, but before she could fall on her face and happily curl up on the cafeteria-styled tiled floor and go back to sleep, Jason had his arm around her and was carrying her towards the back hall where she assumed the bathrooms were.

“What’s going on?” she muttered pathetically, giving up on trying to walk and just settled heavily in his arms as her eyelids began to slowly droop shut.

“Fried chicken,”… Read More

What Happens at a Buffet…..Part VIII

“What are we waiting for?” the incredibly handsome man that had been standing next to her for the last five minutes asked in a conspiratory whisper that had her lips twitching.

“I’m not really sure, but whatever it was, it went fast,” Zoe said, gesturing to the empty metal pan in front of them.

He nodded solemnly. “Then it must be good.”

“Exactly,” she said, matching his nod and earning a killer smile that would no doubt make any other woman instantly fall head over heels in love with him.

“While we wait, can I interest you in some mashed potatoes?” he asked,… Read More

            “What are you doing?”

            Blinking, Zoe looked up to find Jason glaring down at her plate in disgust. “Making a salad,” she said, frowning in confusion as she glanced down at the salad in her hands and then back up at Jason.

            “Why?” Jason asked, shooting her plate another curious look before he looked back up at her, waiting for a reason to explain why she… Read More
