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.

Author Info
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. Her gamble paid off when she was a 2012 Finalist in the
prestigious Golden Pen contest for Romantic Suspense and she received contracts
for her first and second book.
