The Three Sisters Series
What won’t these sisters do? Or the men whose hearts they've captured.
Excerpts
Ringside
Atlanta took a long sip of her beer and placed it on the napkin in front of her. Taking her book out of her bag, she began to read as she waited for her food. She was on the section, Don’t Settle for Less than you Deserve, for the third time. Right on! Atlanta’s men issues were no different than the other stuff going on in her life. She’d yet to meet one she wanted to keep, or hang around long enough to find out if he was even worth keeping.
“Welcome to Ringside. Are you finding everything to your liking?”
Atlanta moved the book from her face and looked into the light blue eyes of a striking looking man. He was tall, a little over six feet, and very well built. That was evident in the way his black shirt seemed painted on his body. His biceps screamed to get out, but he didn’t look like a body builder prepped on steroids. Just nice tight lines.
His face could have been sculpted from the finest marble; the only thing keeping his features from being too perfect was a little bump in the middle of his slender nose, like it may have been broken at some point in his life. But it only added to his overall appeal. The color of his hair drew her attention next; it was blacker than anything she’d ever seen. Thick and wavy, it hung just to his collar. She wanted to run her fingers through it and see if it felt as soft and silky as it looked.
This man was a walking orgasm, and she was not shy about her appraisal of him. She might have to keep this one for a while.
Northern Exposure
Helsinki was unusually warm this August with temperatures hitting about sixty degrees. But Brit didn’t mind; it was a welcome relief. She had been cooped up in her room since her arrival, so seeing the sun out and actually heating the earth was refreshing.
Now she could hit the clothing-optional beach.
Brit was always of the opinion that instead of wearing string that cut into your butt crack and strips of fabric that scratch your nipples, you might as well go naked. In Europe, no one really looks at you anyway.
Brit strolled down to the beach with her umbrella, magazine, blanket and iPod. She set up her spot and got comfortable on her blanket. She placed the magazine over her face, stuck the ear buds in her ears, and listened to the glorious voice of Luciano Pavarotti. Ten minutes later, she was on her way to dreamland.
This was the life. No worries. No nagging parents. No annoying, geeky ex-boyfriend. No drama.
“Hello there.”
At first she didn’t respond. She was in that state of sleep between deep REM and half awake.
“Hello? Miss?” The voice was insistent, deep and masculine.
Masculine!
It wasn’t until she felt a nudge on her shoulder that Brit threw off the magazine, and sat up on her elbows. What she was looking at could only be described as mythical beauty.
He was large, muscular, gorgeous and…nekkid! Oh God!
Masquerade
Sydney didn’t know what had possessed her, maybe Annie nudging her in the ribs, and practically pushing her toward the tall man with the broad shoulders and blond hair. Even in a room full of similarly clad men, he stood out. She had been watching him from the balcony the moment he entered the room. Annie was at her side and had pointed him out to her, but by the time her friend had spotted him she had already been watching him for five minutes make his way around the room.
From a distance, he looked like a walking fantasy, but up close his six-feet-two or more presence invited and enticed her into engaging him in pure unadulterated sex.
Eyes, the blue of the Caribbean Sea looked out at her from behind a dark mask. The black satin provided an intense contrast to his thick blond hair streaked with varying shades of gold and curled around the nape of his neck. The unmasked skin around a full sensual mouth appeared slightly tanned, like he had recently gotten a little sun. His strong squared jaw line shifted slightly as he stared at her. She couldn’t take her eyes off his face, what she could see of it. Then he smiled, showing beautiful straight white teeth and a small dimple appeared on one side of lips.
A smile of her own answered his.
Without a word, he raised his arms away from his sides, as though opening them for her to walk into. The movement brought her attention to his sculptured chest. Was that a six-pack? Maybe there was something to be said for shirtless.

Excerpt from Captivated:
“There’s a song stuck in my head.” He
hummed it. “I was listening to it earlier but can’t think of
Lisa
laughed. “Whoa! You’re putting all the moves on me.”
“You always like it when I do this.” He
lifted the front of his wheelchair off the floor and came back down. “You like
that, huh?”
“Whoa!” She laughed. “You’re right.
It’s been a while since we went dancing.” She put her hand in his as he swerved
them across the kitchen. “So we can go dancing then.” She lifted her head from
his shoulder. “We could both use a break, don’t you think?” She played with a
button on his shirt. “We can go to the Rush.”
He
rolled his eyes. “How come we always go to the wheelchair nightclubs?”
“I
thought it was your favorite place. I just want you to be comfortable.”
“I
want us to go dancing for real.” He laid his arm on the armrest. “I used
to love dancing.” He got teary-eyed. “I miss that the most.”
She kissed his hand.
“I
wanna take you dancing like a real man would.”
“You
are a real man.” She got off him. “And we can dance the regular way
right here.”
He
got a paper towel off the table and dabbed his eyes. “What are you talking
about?”
She
went across to the living room and turned on the stereo in the entertainment
system.
“Okay, let’s find something good.” She
stopped on her favorite station that played old-school slow jams. The sultry
beginning of Aaliyah’s “Rock the Boat” began. “Uh-huh.” Lisa bobbed her head.
“That’s what I’m talking about.” She shimmied back into the kitchen.
“I
love this song.” Jake tossed the paper towel on the table.
Lisa
stood in front of him and held out her hands. “May I have this dance?”
“What?”
he whispered.
She
bent down. “You said you wanted to dance the real way. Let’s dance the real
way.”
“You
know my legs are too weak.”
She
took his hands. “Then lean on me.”
He
took a deep breath and slowly rose from the chair. “Oh.”
“It’s
okay.” She put her arms around him. “I got you.”
He stood straight and put his weight on
Lisa. “I’m six three and two hundred pounds.” He leaned on her. “I’m gonna
crush you.”
“I’m stronger than you think.” She laid
her head on his chest. “Just take it slow and relax.”
He
stumbled a bit then picked up his feet in perfect rhythm.
“Wow.” Lisa held him tighter. “You’re a
smooth dancer, Jake.”
His
lips brushed her cheek. “This feels amazing.” He swayed. “Just like the old
days.”
“See?”
She moved her hand up his back. “Now you’re leading.” She lifted her
head. “How does it feel?”
“I…”
His voice cracked. “I haven’t danced since two thousand eight.”
“Well,
you’re dancing now.” She kissed him. “And you’re doing it beautifully.”
