It's release day for M.J. Schiller! There's a chance to WIN an ecopy and a little extract to get to know what Rock Me Gently is all about.
Rock Me Gently
Like so many others, their romance started in Las
Vegas…
He’s a rock star. She’s an ad exec. After
almost having a one night affair in Sin City, Josh can’t get Cassie out of his
mind. Why had she run out on him?
Like so many others, their romance started with a shot
of tequila...
When the Josh Dunningham of Money Back
Guaranteed tries to seduce her, Cassie is taken aback. Sure, he’s hot. And he
could definitely rock her world. But can she have a fling with a man she
doesn’t even know?
Like so many others, their romance turned rocky…
When Cassie returns to Chicago and finds a
ten-foot tall Josh Dunningham on a radio station’s banner across from her
office, she is tortured by memories of their short time together. When they
meet again, things explode—in a bad way—and Josh has to prove himself to Cassie
to earn her trust. But will he succeed when outside forces also want to tear
them apart? When Cassie receives threatening letters and is attacked in her
home, Josh is determined to find out who is behind it. But will the stalker’s
encore performance bring an end to their show once and for all?

Drawing on Saturday, May 3rd.
From Rock Me Gently:
Josh steered
Cassie toward an exit, hoping fresh air would help to sober her up. They ended up at the outdoor pool, a
monstrosity complete with overhanging palm trees. Not a soul was in sight,
unusual, even at this time of night.
Away from the
casino hubbub, it was easier to talk. She eyed him. “Tell me about the band.”
“What do you
want to know?”
“Well, as an
advertising person, I’m interested in the gimmick, Money Back Guaranteed. Did
you ever have to back up that promise?”
Josh took a
couple of seconds to think about that. “Yeah. A few times. Once, when an
elderly couple came with their granddaughter. They didn’t like the show at
all.” Remembering their reaction, he
grimaced. “And once, when a girl caught her fiancé in the hall with another
girl. Hardly our fault, but, she didn’t enjoy the concert, and that’s our
promise, so…” He shrugged.
“Interesting.
Interesting.” She lifted a leg, grabbing his shoulder for balance, and tugged
on the heel of her boot.
“Uhh…what are
you doing?”
“My feet are
killing me. You’re so lucky you are a guy and don’t have to wear heels.”
“Yes. I was just
mentioning that to my friend, Ryan, the other day.”
She didn’t look
up. Having successfully removed one boot, she switched legs to work on the
other. “Really?”
He smiled. “No.
Go on.”
Yanking the
other boot off, she nearly toppled over, though still holding on to him. She
squeezed his arm. “You’re built.”
He nearly laughed
at her frank statement. “Thank you.”
Holding her
boots in one hand, her brow furrowed as she concentrated on her next question.
She began to balance on the edge of the pool, which was deserted, and scoop
stepped, trailing one leg in the water, not seeming to mind at all that her
jeans were getting wet.
“I don’t think
that’s such a good idea,” he warned, taking her arm to steady her.
“I’m fine,” she
assured him, breaking away for an instant to do a pirouette in the pool’s
gutter to demonstrate.
“Okay, okay,” he
muttered, grabbing her arm again. “No need to show off. So why are you in the
advertising game?”
“I like the
creative aspect of it. And, I can be very
persuasive,” she said, smiling at him. As if he somehow silently challenged
her, she stopped with a jerk and turned toward him, lifting up on her toes to
kiss him. The taste of her was just as intoxicating as the booze had been, and
left him equally dizzy. The flavor of sweet lime and midnight rolled across his
tongue and sank into him unbidden. Someone in the hotel rooms surrounding the
pool above them slammed a door, startling Cassie, the sharp sound almost like
gunfire. She jumped away from him like she had been shot herself and started to
lose her balance. He reached to save her, but too late, she fell into the pool,
dragging him in after her.
***********
MJ is a lunch lady in the heart of Central Illinois. My gosh, can you get more folksy than
that? She met her husband at the University of Missouri-Columbia and now she
has an nineteen-year-old (how did that happen?) and seventeen year old
triplets! She loves to read, karaoke (where she can pretend she is a rock star)
and spends WAY too much time on Facebook. She grew up in St. Louis and still has family there.
Best wishes for a great launch day, M.J.
Slainthe!
