She’s a goddess.

“Be right back.”
At the bar, he found bartenders Kiara and River, along with all three servers, huddled around a brunette knockout in a curve-skimming red dress.
She glanced up. Their gazes met and held. Everything else slowed down.
Those last few steps to the bar felt like...

green onion, garlicky sauteed mushrooms, pickled sweet-hot pepper slices, sour cream, and a drizzle of his house-made spicy ketchup. Heart attack on a plate. He hoped Charlie’s sister was hungry. Was she as pretty as Charlie?
He smoothed his apron, blotted his sweaty forehead, and told Shelby...

#ThrowbackThursday
Look at this baby author! I was (obvs) tickled pink to attend the Passionate Ink Pajama Party at the RWA 2018 Convention--before the pandemic, the RWA meltdown, and leaving the PNW. My first novel was "coming soon," and I finaled in the romantic suspense contest. Good times!

Help an author?
I'm working on a blurb, and I need a snazzier word than "mistake" or "misunderstanding" but can't use profanity, so "clusterf*ck" is out. Suggestions? Thanks so much!
