Harper's Submission [Golden Dolphin 2] (Siren Publishing Classic) (27 page)

Morgan took her into his arms again, and Harper drifted into the kiss that quickly turned hot. That was just the way they were together. They went from a gently glowing ember to a four-alarm blaze in a heartbeat. She hoped that never changed. They sat quietly basking in the glow of intense happiness.

“Merry Christmas, baby.”

“Merry Christmas, Morgan. This is one Christmas morning I’ll never forget. I can’t wait to show Melanie and the girls. They’ll be so excited.”

“You know Melanie. Do you really think she didn’t worm this out of me weeks ago? She’s been almost as excited as I have waiting for Christmas morning. You’re a part of the Court family now, Harper. You can leave all that old baggage behind you, and we’ll start to collect our own.”

“I can’t wait to start our new lives—your new drug trials, my new practice, planning a wedding. We’re going to be busy but never too busy for each other.”

“How would you feel about a honeymoon on the
Golden Dolphin
? Jamie told me he has a cruise from Miami to Rio planned for February. I didn’t want to mention it before I proposed. I know it’s going to be tight timing, but I think we can pull it off.”

“I would love that, especially since we didn’t get to finish our last cruise. Maybe we can get married aboard before the ship leaves harbor. Wouldn’t that be fabulous?”

“That would be great, but you’re fabulous.”

I was born in New Jersey and grew up an only child on a small farm in the “Garden State.” My father grew acres and acres of flowers for commercial florists and various produce such as tomatoes. My high school years were spent at Wayne Hills High School, where I was not one of the popular, preppy kids, or one of the hoods—which kind of left me in limbo as I wasn’t one of the brainiacs either. Weekends were spent going into “the City” and Greenwich Village with my friends and doing a lot of things I probably shouldn’t have—don’t tell my grandkids!

After attending Katharine Gibbs School in Montclair, New Jersey, I began a career as a legal secretary and then a paralegal. I moved to Florida and currently live in Davie, Florida, with my dog, Snickerdoodles. I was married for eight years but have been single for many years. My major addiction is jewelry, but any kind of shopping will do for a fix!

After my longtime job as a paralegal was ended by the economic downturn, I decided to turn lemons into lemonade and finally write the stories I’d had in my head for many years. I had always wanted to write romance novels, but my family and job kept me too busy.

My major interest aside from my family and friends is horses. I enjoy putting an animal character into my stories if possible. I am extremely “low-tech” and probably should have been born in the 1800s as I enjoy driving a horse and buggy for fun. I also enjoy horseback riding, but the ground has gotten harder and further away over the years.

I have a small farm and vacation home in Ocala, Florida, which is my favorite place in the world. There’s nothing as wonderful as swinging in the hammock in the shade and listening to the music of the wind in the pines while cuddled under a quilt reading a good book.

Books have always been my escape into love and adventure, and through reading, I have been able to be many people, do many things, and go to many wonderful places I wouldn’t have otherwise been able to be, do, or see.

I hope that all hardworking women who have a moment to put up their tired feet and relax with a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) enjoy getting to meet my fantasy friends and to experience something new and different with a touch of hot romance thrown in for good measure!
