Congrats to Kathleen on release day! Woot!
Sun, Sand & Séances releases
today from Decadent Tease.
Bobbi Collins is a caring and devoted kindergarten teacher who had
her world turned upside down when her fiancé died after a lover’s quarrel. Five
years later, she still struggles with acceptance. Her role as an educator fills
up her week, but on weekends, she longs for something more. When she stumbles
across a newspaper ad for a psychic fair in the historic town of Cape May, New
Jersey, it seems like the answer. Bobbi is determined
to revive her once vibrant life.
Kevin Carlton a successful realtor is tired of the dating game. He
doesn’t remember buying a raffle ticket, but when his co-worker announces he
holds the winning number, he decides to take a chance and attend the all
expense paid weekend in Cape May, at the Lady
of the Sea's Psychic Fair. He hopes to find a spiritualist who has the ability
to contact his late father and prove he has become a man to be proud of.
Sparks fly when Bobbi and
Kevin run into one another at the fair. When strange happenings occur, Bobbi
rushes into her ex-boyfriend’s arms. She never imagined having a weekend of
magic, memories, and a chance to rekindle the flame with her lost love.
Can
sun, sand, and séances cast a spell on their hearts
and allow the reunited couple to find what they both desire, or will the
spirits sabotage it all?
EXCERPT
He sat beside
her on the bed and slid close. “Don’t be scared. There’s always something to
repair in these old hotels. Try not to let all of the ghost stories get to you.
It’s all in fun.”
“The stories I’ve
heard sound real.”
“I think the air conditioner made the noise.” He laughed.
Bobbi grabbed
the blanket from the edge of the bed and placed it around her shoulders. “Don’t
you feel the cold air?”
“Did you turn
it on when you came into the room?”
“No, I thought
you did.”
“Now, that’s
weird. I didn’t touch it.” Kevin tucked her against him. With their bodies
close, neither of them said another word.
The warmth of
his touch calmed her nerves, and Bobbi turned to gaze into his eyes. She gasped
when he gave her an intense stare and placed his hand on the side of her face.
Her desire surfaced and the wall she’d built to protect her heart since her
fiancé’s death began to loosen. His cologne teased her to remember how sweet he
had always been. As Kevin pulled her close and nuzzled her neck, she wrapped
her arms around his broad back. When he placed his lips on hers and searched
her mouth with his tongue, she whimpered and surrendered to his embrace. His
kiss a reminder of the fun-filled days and long passionate nights. Why had she
given him up? The image of her fiancé flashed in her mind like a bucket of cold
water, and she shoved against Kevin’s chest, loosening his hold.
“Wait, wait…. We can’t do this! I came here to contact Greg.
It doesn’t feel right.” Bobbi broke loose and straightened her blouse.
Emotion she couldn’t identify touched her deep within and
twisted her heart. “I’m sorry I upset you, Bobbi. I’ve always remembered what
we shared.” His voice cracked, and he slammed his hand down on the bed. “I know
we were both young, but I made a terrible mistake to lose touch with you.
You’re a beautiful woman….”

About Kathleen Ann Gallagher
I write contemporary, paranormal, and erotic
romance.

Although writing is my passion, nursing is my
vocation. I work in an emergency room, and it’s been challenging, and
rewarding, to be such an integral part of so many other’s daily
struggles. I have a wonderful husband who always offers his support, and
never complains about my crazy schedule. One of our favorite romantic getaways
is Cape May, New Jersey, an old historic beach town where
we take a step into the past, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Although
my children are all grown with busy lives of their own, Chaz, our Shepherd mix,
still dutifully stands guard at the house. We are also blessed with three
adorable grandsons. Other interests of mine include cooking, reading, and the theater. However, spending time with my family is most important to me. Even though my life is filled with work, family, etc., my mind continues to ponder the next story or concept for a new novel.
