Tara L. Ames is a Michigan native with a penchant for
creating highly sensual empowered stories about brave sexy men and
strong-willed women. Now living in Florida, she is actively writing another
series in between taking care of her family and reading and enjoying the sun. Today
we’re joined by Tara’s heroine, Samantha Jackson. Learn more about Tara and her
books at her website.
Samantha Jackson here. Hi y’all. In case you haven’t noticed,
I’m Southern. That’s right. Born and raised in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. I
love all God’s creatures, especially horses and dogs. I saved my thoroughbred
from being slaughtered and my adorable mutt named Angel, from the dog pound. I
miss them both terribly.
Right now, I’m down in Key West, finishing a contract I
landed through the Chamber of Commerce to refurbish local business storefronts.
As a graduate of Parson’s School of Design, I’m a commercial artist and create
corporate artwork, paint murals and teach art classes, part time, at
Appalachian State University.
Depending on the dimensions of the wall, I can complete a
mural anywhere from a day to a week. It all depends on the design, what it
entails and whether it’s indoors or outdoors. The types of acrylic paints
selected for an outside project should be water resistant, moist-resistant, and
withstand exposure to the elements.
JD’s Seafood
Bar & Grille, a two-story eatery that has a two-dollar charm on a
million-dollar beachfront, is my last project. I’m painting an outside wall
with a shark about the size of an SUV, taking a bite out of a hamburger, about
the size of a Mini Cooper. My problem is I’m behind on deadline and it’s not
due to poor weather. You see readers, there’s this guy…
Yesterday, I was outside, working on the mural for JD’s and
saw out of the corner of my eye, a half-naked hottie striding along the ocean’s edge
several feet away. As much as I needed to return to work, I couldn’t tear my
gaze away from the gorgeous hunk. His rock-solid chest gleamed in the low sun.
And his biceps were big as melons. Whew! He was hot. So hot, it made the
thermometer gauge on my Southern parts jump at least five degrees.
I couldn’t believe the
way my body was reacting. Clearly, I had been overwhelmed by grief for so long
that sex had been the last thing on my mind. About three years ago, I lost my
fiancé. He was piloting a crop plane and it crashed. I swore no more reckless
daredevils for me. That was until I met the hottie and learned he was a Naval
Aviator.
Now, I’m in trouble.
He’s asked me out on a date. I guess you’ll have to read The Risk Taker to find out if I went out with him or decided to
finish the mural and pack up my paintbrushes and hightail it home for the mountains.
The Risk Taker, Book 1 in the Alpha Aviators Series
Top Gun Naval Aviator Michael Merrick
thrives living on the edge but when he refuses to abort a mission, he is forced
on leave and heads home. Missing the action, he needs a distraction and what
could be better than a green-eyed blonde with a quick tongue and a hot bod made
for rockin’.
Commercial Artist Samantha James still mourns
the loss of her fiancé, a reckless daredevil, and avoids getting involved with
another risk taker at all costs until Mr. Aviator’s steely bod rocks her
southern parts and threatens her secure world.
