Description:
They
walked through the shadows individually. Will they emerge into the light
together?
Leading a vagabond life as a curator for a traveling
photography exhibit translates to a lot of bad days for Rikki Salerno. But her
trouble doubles when a careless high school student shoves her into a marsh.
Being rescued by teacher Sam Kerrigan should have made things better, but
Rikki’s inability to confess her true identity casts a shadow over their
budding affair.
When Sam refuses an overly aggressive parent’s
marriage proposal, she’s determined to ruin him. Not only does she doctor
photos to make it look like Sam’s behaved inappropriately in front of students,
she hacks the foundation website to reveal Rikki’s true identity. Faster than
the blink of a shutter, Rikki’s focus changes from pursuing her full-color
future to the black and white necessity of clearing Sam’s name.
Excerpt:
Sam’s attention wandered
yet again off the homework papers he was supposed to be correcting. The
universal law of gravitation wasn’t nearly as riveting as the memory of Rikki
Salerno wearing a purple jacket and tight running shorts in the early morning
sunlight. He’d resisted the urge to wrap her in his arms when he’d run up on
her in the park that morning. A fiery halo had lit her hair, glints of red
winking in her messy ponytail. The sight of her when she turned back toward
town and ran ahead of him! He’d have been happy to follow her for all
twenty-six miles of a marathon. But, his need to talk to her overruled his
desire to watch her spectacular behind, so he’d quickened his pace to catch
her.
Rikki had tensed when
he’d started ranting about Marguerite Sims. Without knowing how, he’d made her
angry again. He didn’t understand it, but she seemed defensive when he’d made
disparaging remarks about her boss. He was going to have to watch his comments
about the pampered princess when he was around Rikki.
And, if wishes did come
true, there would be a whole lot of around
Rikki time. Her image in his mind’s eye—exotic, interesting, and
intriguing, all wrapped up in one sexy package…. He fidgeted in his hard
teacher’s chair, suddenly uncomfortable with the tightness of his khakis. Thank
God, there weren’t any students in the room. That’d be a hell of a thing to
explain to a bunch of horny teens.

About
the Author:
Gemma's favorite desk accessories for many
years were a circular wooden token, better known as a 'round tuit,' and a slip
of paper from a fortune cookie proclaiming her a lover of words; some day she'd
write a book. All it took was a transfer to the United Kingdom, the lovely
English springtime, and a huge dose of homesickness to write her first novel.
Once it was completed and sent off with a kiss, even the rejections addressed
to 'Dear Author' were gratifying.
After returning to America, she spent a
number of years as a copywriter, dedicating her skills to making insurance and
the agents who sell them sound sexy. Eventually, her full-time job as a writer
interfered with her desire to be a writer full-time and she left the world of
financial products behind to pursue an avocation as a romance author.
