  He got up and pulled Tina to her feet.

  “We can’t tell her yet. It’s far too early.”

  Ronan simply smiled.

  “Of course we can. Besides, she’ll take one look at us and she’ll know anyway. Chin up, babe. You know you’ve been dying too hear the tale of how she met her Henry. Tonight’s the night she always tells it, because this is the night they met. I love hearing that tale, so move your butt, girl, or pregnant or not, you’ll earn yourself a spanking.”

  “Can we still do that?” Tina asked, and Ronan laughed and swatted her ass slightly.

  “You bet we can, babe, at least until you get to look like an elephant.”

  Tina punched him in the belly and Ronan blocked the move and kissed her hand.

  Damn the man, how could she stay mad at him now, not that she was really. He was right after all.

  “And will you still love me when I’m the size of this elephant?” she asked.

  “Always, babe.”

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  Glutton for punishment would be a good description for Doris…at least that’s what she hears on an almost daily basis when people find out that she has a brood of nine children, ranging from adult to toddler, and lives happily in a far-too-small house, cluttered with children, pets, dust bunnies, and one very understanding and supportive husband. Domestic goddess she is not.

  There is always something better to do, after all, like working on the latest manuscript and trying not to scare the locals even more than usual by talking out loud to the voices in her head. Her characters tend to be pretty insistent to get their stories told, and you will find Doris burning the midnight oil on a regular basis. Only time to get any peace and quiet, and besides, sleep is for wimps.

  She likes to spin sensual, sassy, and sexy tales involving alpha heroes to die for, and heroines who give as good as they get. From contemporary to paranormal, BDSM to F/F and Ménage, haunting love stories are guaranteed.
