I was and did!" -- New York Times bestselling author Jaime Rush"Carmen DeSousa has written an incredibly stunning book, full of spot on visuals that put you in the midst of the conversations, like a ghostly guest that spies on a romantic dinner date." -- Ashley Fontainne From the AuthorWhile I do not write "Christian" books, I do share my characters' Christian beliefs. My characters are real people who come with flaws, no perfect people allowed. I characterize my stories as modern-day fairytales, as they are overflowing with romance, mystery, suspense, and of course, tragedy. After all, what would a fairytale be without a tragic event setting the stage? All of my novels are sensual, but not erotic, gripping but not graphic and will hopefully make you cry, laugh, love, and hope. My first two novels, She Belongs to Me and Land of the Noonday Sun, have reached bestseller status right alongside Nicholas Sparks, J.D. Robb, and other great authors. My third novel, Entangled Dreams, just released September 2012. And look for When Noonday Ends this Christmas! Views: 25

Jay needs on his first day in his new home is kids climbing over his fence and swimming
in his backyard pool unsupervised and without his knowledge or permission. The

before things spiral any further out of control. In spite of the circumstances
of their first meeting, Alex accepts Jay’s invitation to dinner.
When she learns
of Jay’s career as an author of spanking romance novels, however, she is forced
to consider the possibility that she herself might need a firm hand applied to
her bare bottom far more often than she might like. Will she be able to accept
the discipline required to get her life back on track, and if she does, will
Jay be able to be the man she needs for herself and her kids?
