Younger Siblings, Falling in Love and Other Life Woes...

I have a younger sister. She’s 2 ½ years younger than I am so I don’t remember much about life before she came along. We have an ongoing joke between us where I declare that my parents were so thrilled with their first little darling that they figured they should have another… then stopped after her for good reason! She counters that I was such a disappointment that they decided they had to try again and when they achieved perfection the second time they stopped.

My parents stay out of it.

It’s all said with great affection. Now. There was a time… about the time she was fourteen and I was sixteen… when we could get upset with the other by breathing the same oxygen. In fact, we fought so badly my mother was convinced we would never speak to each other again after I graduated.

We still tell the story about me driving her to school one morning my senior year. She was being such a brat! It was about five miles and we had been fighting all morning. I told her that if she didn’t shut up I was going to pull over and make her walk the rest of the way. She didn’t shut up. And I carried through on my threat. Her best friend’s brother picked her up about two minutes later and took her the rest of the way to school, but that part of the story never gets told! Just the part about me kicking her out and making her walk. (But you know what? It was worth the grounding I got for it!)

In my latest release, Just Like That, Sam Bradford believes two things make his life difficult—his sisters and the women who fall in love with him. He’s got an older sister who takes over everything and insists she always knows what’s best for everyone else (Jessica, from Just Right—released in March) and a little sister who’s spoiled and protected by everyone, including Sam (Sara, her story is Just My Type, out in September). They definitely give him some headaches—but he loves them. Then there are the women who fall head over heels with just a smile. Which has led him to institute a one-night-only rule to keep things simple.

Then Danika Steffen comes along and makes his life even more complicated. Because he falls in love with her!

It was fun to torment Sam a little. He’s a great, fun-loving, sexy guy who gets away with anything. So it was only fair to give him two sisters! ;)

Do you have any great torturing-your-siblings stories to share? Oh, come on, we know you do!

Some rules just beg to be broken.

Danika Steffen can take care of herself. Watching her mother slowly succumb to muscular dystrophy convinced Danika that total independence is the only way to go. Anything that needs fixing, she’s got the tools. So what if she’s never had an orgasm. No one really needs one, right?

Sam Bradford is good at two things: his job as a paramedic, and seducing women. Being dependable? Not so much. Losing his father at age fifteen tore a permanent hole in his life, and now he’s determined never to let anyone need him that much. Enjoying women, though, is definitely on the menu. As long as they understand his unbreakable rule: one night only. Until a date with Danika Steffen ends not in her bed, but with a trip to the ER.

Danika may have a broken wrist, but Sam’s the one suffering…an intense case of guilt. And instead of doing things to her, he only wants to do things for her. Which would drive her crazy if not for the sneaking suspicion that Sam needs a little TLC too. And damned if she doesn’t want to be the one to give it…
