More than the law will be tested when a marshal meets a feisty widow.
Sean Reilly had the bad luck to be assigned the blue marble – the “cursed” marble shunned by the four other marshals in the Arizona Territory. He’s sent to take care of a land dispute for a widow named Lucille Quinn. He has no idea just how his life will change because of the dang blue marble.
Lucille Quinn needs help to settle the matter of some missing cattle. The marshal that arrives is unexpected as he is good-looking – he’s also the man who left her five years earlier. Beneath the anger lies an attraction that never died, it simply smoldered until flaring back to life the moment she saw him.
The meeting is by pure chance, the result is pure magic.

Let me just say that I don’t generally write short stories. I’ve written and published about half a dozen of them, most of them scorchingly hot. What can I say, when I write short, I write spicy. 🙂
LUCILLE’S LAWMAN is no exception. I had written another supa hawt short story a few years ago called MARIELLE’S MARSHAL. Funny, sexy story (even Mrs. Giggles liked it) about a school teacher and a marshal, a stagecoach robbery and some sexy romps in the Arizona territory desert.
When the time came to write my Wicked Read (see http://www.wickedreads.net), I had to write another supa hawt one. So what did I choose? Another lawman and kick-ass chick of course. 🙂
Thus was born LUCILLE’S LAWMAN. This also takes place in the 1850s Arizona Territory. Our intrepid lawman is Sean, the man who replaced Whit from Marielle’s story. Hee – oh I had fun with Sean. You see, Lucille, our kick-ass heroine, is a widow who protects what’s hers. What does she do the first time she sees Sean? Why she shoots at him. Ha!
I enjoy emotional and angsty stories very much but I love to write sexy and funny shorts. It’s like these shorts are play-doh and I craft the most hilarious, over-sexed critters I can imagine. Hee.
Of course, I also dive into the shallow end of characters, as you know with a short story you can’t be in the deep end of the pool. Yet I can’t just make shallow characters. That would be more difficult and the reader would be cheated. So I paddle around in that shallow end of the character until I find what makes them tick.
For Lucille, it’s her loneliness. For Sean, it’s his loneliness. Heeeey, good thing I decided to get them together. 🙂
There is always emotion in my books, but LUCILLE’S LAWMAN is also designed to make you smile and perhaps wiggle a bit in your chair. 😉
