Sunday Snippet — ICING ON THE CAKE — Womanspeak
I’m behind schedule on my upcoming release, so we’re going to have a few more weeks of Sunday snippets from ICING ON THE CAKE. I love this story and its characters. I hope you will too.
As best man and maid of honor, Curtis and Sara have just watched their siblings tie the knot. Today’s snippet takes place outside the church, between Curtis and his older sister, Lindsay.
“That woman is unbelievable,” Lindsay said as Sara strutted away, toward their newly combined families.
Curtis grunted. “Yeah, that she is.”
“No.” A sharp, feminine poke to his upper arm drew his attention from Sara’s shapely, swaying ass to his sister’s highly irritated face. “Tell me you don’t have a thing for her.”
“Guess that depends on what ‘have a thing for’ means in womanspeak.” If it meant he wanted to fuck Sara until he’d exhausted every last speck of energy in the most remote corner of his reserves, then yes, he definitely had a thing for that woman.

ICING ON THE CAKE
Close to Home series — Book 2
Nia and Conn’s wedding will be fairytale perfect…if their siblings can get along.
Free-spirited, anti-establishment Sara has always been on the outside of her family’s fairytale mold. Now she’s being forced smack into the middle of it at her sister Nia’s wedding. Alongside the cocky and annoyingly sexy best man—Conn’s cop brother.
Curtis doesn’t buy in to organized romance and fairytales. But for his brother, he’ll throw on a tux and fake it for a few hours. His flak vest would have been a better choice around the maid of honor. He should have brought his handcuffs too, because somebody needs to restrain the dark-haired spitfire—and he’s just the man for the job.
One night to indulge the spark between them, then goodbye—that was the agreement. Curtis isn’t looking for a relationship and he sure doesn’t want a troublemaker for a girlfriend. The last thing Sara needs in her daily life is a cop looking over her shoulder, no matter how hot he is.
But giving in to their chemistry is much more fun than giving it up…
