His eyes twinkled and the corner of his mouth twitched. âCurtis Lawler, Connâs older brother.â He didnât offer a hand to shakeâjust stepped closer, completely invading her personal space. âAnd youâre Sara.ââFigured that out on your own, detective, or did they show you my mug shot in advance to make things easier?â
âItâs Constable first class, but thatâs a mouthful, even for one that works as well as yours. Probably easiest if you call me sir.â
âNever going to happen, lawman.â
âNeverâs a long time,â Curtisâ gaze locked with hers and a wicked smile curved his sensual lips, âand for the record, Iâm not a patient man.â

Nia and Connâs wedding will be fairytale perfectâŚif their siblings can get along.
Free-spirited, anti-establishment Sara has always been on the outside of her familyâs fairytale mold. Now sheâs being forced smack into the middle of it at her sister Niaâs wedding. Alongside the cocky and annoyingly sexy best manâConnâs cop brother.
Curtis doesnât buy in to organized romance and fairytales. But for his brother, heâll 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 spitfireâand heâs just the man for the job.
One night to indulge the spark between them, then goodbyeâthat was the agreement. Curtis isnât looking for a relationship and he sure doesnât 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⌠-
Sunday Snippet – ICING ON THE CAKE – When Curtis Met Sara, Part 1
Sunday snippet time, part of the Weekend Writing Warriors meme.
Ready for another eight-sentence excerpt from ICING ON THE CAKE? This is one of my favorite parts of the bookâwhere Sara and Curtis meet for the first time.
We’re with Sara as she tries to slip out of the church after her sister’s wedding rehearsal. Curtis is the best man, and since he’s been charged with keeping an eye of the trouble-making maid of honor, he’s about to intervene.
âLast one to show up, now the first one to leave.â Connâs brother took a few more steps, positioning himself between Sara and the outer door. He tucked his hands into the front pockets of some fine-fitting jeans. âYouâre not trying to skip out on the rehearsal party, are you?â His stance and tone were casual. His pointed remarks, not so much.âAww, isnât this sweet? We havenât even been formally introduced and already youâre devastated at the thought of an evening without me.â
Check back next Sunday to read Curtis’ response. Or better yet, buy the book and read the whole snarktastic, sexy thing right now. đ

Sunday Snippet – ICING ON THE CAKE – The Favor
It’s July and ICING ON THE CAKE has released! Woohoo! We’ll be spending time with Curtis & Sara for the next couple months for the Sunday Snippet, part of the Weekend Writing Warriors meme. I hope you enjoy their fireworks!
Chapter One of ICING ON THE CAKE opens the day before Conn & Nia’s (from CUP OF SUGAR) wedding in Nia’s tiny hometown, six hours north of the city where the characters currently reside. And since Sara, the maid of honor, is conspicuously absent from the impending wedding rehearsal, Conn recruits help from his brother, the best man…
âSince youâre flying solo this weekend, I need a favor.” Conn’s smile thinned. “Keep an eye on Sara, make sure she doesnât cause any trouble.ââBabysitting detail.”
âYeah.â
âIs she that bad?â
âI hope not,â Conn said as the churchâs front door slammed and all heads turned toward the entryway from the vestibule.
Call him fucked-up, but one look at the dark-haired beauty whoâd just strutted into the building, and Curtis kinda hoped Sara lived up to her troublemaker reputation.
