Irish Eyes Excerpt

As promised, here's a tiny taste of my upcoming release, Irish Eyes. I hope you enjoy it!

“So, Miss Maddy, what do you think of our Crag?” Shamus had a voice that would charm a rabid woodchuck. It was the kind of soft, sultry voice that made Maddy quiver despite the warm night.

“I like it…the stars are gorgeous. So close.” She wrapped her hands around herself and slid her hands along her upper arms. It wasn’t cold, but she felt a whole herd of goose bumps rise on her body.

He moved nearer to her in the big truck. The wide bench seat was large enough to hold two more adults, but when he moved to sit beside her it became a cozy spot.
