BLURB:
Forty-two-
year- old single mother Laura Harris devoted more than half her life to raising
her son. She remembered the concept of having sex but it had been aeons since
she’s actually been a participant - especially with a real flesh-and-blood
partner. But it’s time to reclaim her life. Her son is a man now. And the
rising star of the Jets rugby league team. Their future is brighter than ever
and, for the first time, financially secure. But Laura is starting to think
agreeing to have dinner with Trevor Hughes could be biting off more than she
can chew. Not that she can’t see herself taking a nice big chunk from the
absolutely gorgeous thirty-four-year-old sports commentator’s rump, he’s one
prime piece of masculinity! She just isn’t sure how or when the whole sex thing
will become an issue. She can’t even get past the what-to-wear step. Let alone
the when-to-take-it-off stage…
Trevor Hughes
usually avoids the woman with substance - he has enough of his own demons to
deal without trying to care for anyone else. But there’s something about the
upbeat, sexy, one-woman-dynamo Laura Harris. The woman is pure sunshine and
happiness. And that’s surprising when you look at what life has handed her.
Nothing seemed to dampen Laura’s spirits and she quickly becomes someone Trevor
needs in his life…Until misunderstandings come between them. Can Trevor put
things right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt - Explicit:
“Decisions, decisions,” he moaned.
“Mmm… Did you say something?” Laura
hummed in his ear.
“Just deciding what I want to do to you
first—whether to get naked with you, or just eat your pussy first. I can’t make
up my mind. It all seems so good.”
“Get naked, Trevor. Let me feel the
warmth of your skin against mine.”
“Are you cold, honey? I didn’t even
think…”
“No, not cold—burning, melting for you.
Definitely not cold, but I still want to feel your skin against mine. Flesh to
flesh, no barrier between us.”
Trevor decided that Laura was right—no
barriers between them sounded good—but he had to move her so he could achieve
that goal. As he gently lifted her smaller frame from his lap, ready to place
her next to him on the couch Laura began to struggle. Worried that he was
hurting her, Trevor let her go, let her move herself, only to discover that she
had a plan of her own. Laura slid between his thighs kneeling on the carpet.
The grin she gave him sent lightning bolts of pleasure through his system.
Trevor remembered that look—that wicked, wonderful look. And so did his cock.
“Here, let me help you undress. I
promise I’ll be extra careful!” Laura giggled as she teased Trevor, purposely
brushing her hand over the hardness in the front of his pants, then cupping him
gently. “Hmmm, you feel kinda worked up again. Isn’t that how you described it
last time? When you cautioned me on the zipper thing.”
“Oh, hon, I’m past worked up—I’m about
to explode.” Trevor gritted out.
“Maybe I can do something to help,
then,” Laura purred.
She leant forward so as to reach the
opening of his pants. With one hand, she carefully lowered the zipper
completely—it had already been at half mast from when he had unbuttoned earlier
to give himself more room, but now he was completely open. Laura grasped the
waistband of Trevor’s pants.
“Lift.”
As he did, she pulled them down past
his hips, repeating the motion with his boxers. Once freed, Trevor’s shaft
stood tall, rigid. As if it were beckoning her, she could not refuse its call.
She ran her tongue around the circumference of his erect penis, the
mushroom-like head, the joining of his skin. She laved and licked, explored
every bulbous vein, every satiny bit of skin that covered his impressive form.
Laura loved the taste of him, the slightly salty, musky maleness. She lapped at
the pre-cum that formed at the eye before swallowing his erection down into her
throat, loving the moans and grunts Trevor was making.
When he took hold of the sides of her
head and drew her away, she didn’t fight him. It was time he buried that hard
cock—that part of him that differentiated his maleness from her
femininity—inside her dripping wet and throbbing pussy, where it belonged. “I
need you, Laura, need to bury myself in you, want to come inside you.”
“I need that too, Trevor.”
Laura lay back on the carpet and spread
her legs for him in an invitation for him to take her. She watched as he
extracted a condom from the wallet he took from his now discarded pants’
pocket. He rolled the latex on and her mouth watered. Her folds wept with cream
as the moment drew close—the moment she’d thought she would never feel again,
that fullness she had craved for weeks and had been unable to attain at her own
hands.

Sydney-born Donna Gallagher decided at an early age
that life needed be tackled head on.
Leaving home at 15 she supported herself through
her teen years.
In her twenties she married a professional
sportsman, her love of sport -- especially rugby league -- probably overriding
her good sense.
The seven-year marriage was an adventure. There
were the emotional ups and downs of having a husband with a public profile in a
sometimes glamorous but always high-pressure field. There were always interesting
characters to meet and observe and even the opportunity to live for a time in
the UK.
Eventually Donna returned home a single woman, but
she never lost her passion for watching sport, as well as the people in and
around it.
Now happily re-married and with three sons Donna
loves coffee mornings with her female friends, sorting through problems from
the personal to the international. But she's on even footing with the keenest
man when it comes to watching and talking rugby league.
Donna considers herself something of a black sheep
in a family of high achievers. Her brother has a doctorate in mathematics and
her sister is a well-known sports journalist.
An avid reader, especially of romance, Donna
finally found she couldn't stop the characters residing in her imagination from
spilling onto paper. Naturally rugby league is the backdrop to her League of
Love Series, published through UK publisher Total-E-Bound, spicy tales of hunky
heroes and spunky heroines overcoming adversity to eventually find true love.

It's amazing that you did manage on your own from such an early age, I'm the youngest and my parents had a hard time letting me go away to college in another city. :)
