Saturday's Excerpt – The Second Time Around

 She grinned at her. "And just what is it that you think I need?" 

Rachel laughed mischievously. "Maybe it’s about time you concentrated on your physical needs, and I don’t mean the one-night stands you’re notorious for." 

"And just what are you suggesting?" Kassie asked, feigning ignorance. 

Rachel scowled good-naturedly. "You know exactly what I’m talking about. You need a woman who will be there for you on all levels. Someone who will be a friend as well as a lover. Not just some stranger you pick up only to get laid." She paused. "Someday, all of those one night stands are going to catch up with you." 

Kassie, wide-eyed, pretended shock as she stared at her assistant. "Why Rachel Byron. Are you offering…" 

Rachel giggled as she held a hand up palm out. "Ah, no. Tyler satisfies me completely, and as much as I love you, you just don’t have the right equipment to satisfy me." 

"Then you haven’t looked in my toy chest." Kassie smiled at Rachel’s pretended stunned expression and laughed.

Saturday's Excerpt – Breaking Free

 No, she couldn’t let her mind drift and inadvertently let her feelings toward Katelyn be known. Beacher was a small town and even though Katelyn was friendly to her now, would she change her attitude if she found out that Izzy had ended her marriage five years ago to succumb to her hidden desires to be with a woman? How did she know how Katelyn felt about anything?

 They’d had a short friendly conversation, but that was all it was. She had to keep her guard up. It would be easy if Katelyn weren’t so damned attractive with a voice that felt like soft fingertips roaming over her needy flesh every time she spoke.

Saturday's Excerpt – Behind Closed Doors

 Summer’s face softened. "No, we can’t Kera. But hopefully I can ease some of this loneliness for you." She patted Kera’s hand again. 

Suddenly Kera felt safe. It was hard to explain how such a simple gesture could make her feel protected, but it did. And a part of her was happy that Summer would be taking Karl’s place. As much as she’d miss the sporadic rapport Karl and she had managed to build over the last two years, it would be nice to have a woman to talk to. But she could never tell Summer that she’d confided to Annette about her true identity. Just as she’d never told Karl. And she could never tell either of them that Annette was holding that information against her. Thinking about Annette left a bad taste in her mouth. 

"I can’t give you the details about what’s going on with the case. I can tell you that instead of Karl contacting you monthly or bi-monthly, I’ll be in contact daily. Karl and I thought it might be a good idea if I became your new roommate." 

Kera lifted her eyebrows in surprise. "My roommate? I’m getting twenty-four hour a day protection?" Suddenly, it dawned on her the reason why. "I’m no longer safe, am I?"
