Runaway Bride’s Big Baby Secret

Handbag designer Juliet Zaccaro should be walking down the aisle, so why is she running out of the church instead? Because she’s just found out she’s pregnant, and not by her cruel, distant fiancé! Now it’s up to private investigator Reid McCormack to bring her home. But once he finds her, he’ll make sure she doesn’t go back to her fiancé—especially since the baby she’s carrying might just be Reid’s. Even as Juliet denies their explosive chemistry, can Reid convince her that there’s more between them than a baby bump?

And that calls for a party, don’t you think? :yeah

Drinks are on the house…

And Mistress Heidi has let her Dungeon Hotties out of their cages.  But it’s a little chilly these days, so even though we took their shirts, we let them keep their scarves…

So run out & grab your copy of PROJECT: RUNAWAY BRIDE or order it online today, then come back here, grab a half-naked Hunk, & party the day away. :reindeerlights

You can read later, after the drinks are gone & the Dungeon Hotties are thoroughly wrung-out. :clink

Cranberry Cheer

1 cup sugar
2 sticks cinnamon
2 whole star anise
3 green cardamom pods
1 cup fresh cranberries
6 ounces rye whiskey (such as McKenzie)
2 ounces fresh lime juice
seltzer
lime slices (for garnish)

In a small pot over medium heat, stir sugar in 1 cup water until dissolved to create simple syrup. Reserve 1/4 cup.

Place spices on an 8-inch square of cheesecloth and secure with twine to create a sachet. Crush spices lightly. Add sachet and cranberries to simple syrup. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and discard sachet.

In a shaker, mix 4 teaspoons cranberry mixture, whiskey, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice. Pour into 4 glasses with ice. Top each with a splash of seltzer.

Garnish with lime and enjoy! :clink

Happy  Sunday—the first of 2014! :yeah

So how is the new year shaping up for you so far?

This week, I AM HAPPY that I finally got to the chiropractor.  I rescheduled once, then they rescheduled after that because there was a death in my doctor’s family, but almost the minute I didn’t make it to my original appointment, my back decided to seize up & revolt.  Okay, I’m exaggerating slightly, but things were very tight & sore, & I tend to get headaches more often if I don’t get regular adjustments.  I even agreed to a Saturday morning appointment when I normally aim for late afternoon mid-week—& I was nearly ready to beg the doc to come to my house…or kidnap him & force him to give me an adjustment if he refused. :snowballfight

I AM HAPPY that Diagnosis Murder is now on the Hallmark Movie Channel!  It had been on Encore Suspense, which was fine (I was just happy it was still on somewhere; I love that show!)  But they seemed to only play the same handful of episodes over & over instead of all of them—& the show lasted eight or nine seasons, so there are well over a hundred.  Hopefully HMC will do a better job…& judging by the line-up I’ve seen so far, they are.

I AM HAPPY that, if my perusal of post-holiday clearance items holds true, I really have managed to collect all of the Kitty Girl perfume/lotion/shower gel in a 50-mile radius.  Woot!  There are other perfumes & gift sets on sale that had been on the shelves before Christmas, but none of my new signature fragrance. :smooches

And of course I AM HAPPY that PROJECT: RUNAWAY BRIDE is finally available in e-book & will be available very soon (if it isn’t already) in mass market paperback!!! :dancingsanta

Expect a Release Day party on Tuesday, & if you haven’t already, get ready to buy your copy of Reid & Juliet’s story!  (If you need links or info check out the PROJECT: RUNAWAY BRIDE book page or fire away & I’ll do my best to answer questions for you. :candycane )

So how about you—what are you happy about this week, the first of a brand new year? :happynewyear
