I was on a loop the other
day where there was a big discussion of the old, old hook–the secret baby. The
majority of the people posting felt that the mother should definitely tell the
father about the child. Give him the chance to step up to the plate. And by
all means, don’t have this fatherless child always
be the perfect offspring despite the secrets in his or her life.
But what if there was a
real reason for keeping the child secret? What if a disastrous situation kept
the other separated from the father of her child for a long time in a situation
that could destroy everyone if the truth was known? And what if real
circumstances prevented the mother from even contacting her lover, a man who
had show her what real love and hot sex could be?
This was the premise in
the plot of Finding Julia. Who is
finding Julia Patterson? Her lover who she was forced to walk away from? Or
Julia herself, finding who she really is before it’s too late.
Where can
you buy it?
BLURB:
Sometimes
life is not fair. For Julia Patterson meeting Luke Buchanan opened the door to
a new life and brought her to life as a woman. In his arms she learns for the
first time how real passion and emotion can enrich your life. He claims her
body with the pleasure of erotic sex and his heart with unrestricted love. But
Fate was laughing at Julia, just as she is about to step over the threshold
into a wonderful new life. When her almost-ex-husband Charles is diagnosed with
a fatal heart condition her divorce is put on hold along with the rest of her
life. Turning her back on Luke and the intense passion and emotion they shared
is the most difficult thing she’s ever done. But Julia has a secret, one that
Charles has discovered and uses like a club. Thirteen years later when Luke
walks back into her life the passion and emotion are just as explosive as ever.
Will they finally have their chance at happiness or will her secret destroy her
last chance at happiness?

The
kiss went on and on. He explored the inner recesses of her mouth, licked at it,
his lips moving against hers as he slanted his mouth first one way and then
another. His large hands, with their long fingers, cupped her head with a touch
that was both gentle and commanding. She could feel the imprint of each finger
against her skull. His seduction on the dance floor was nothing compared to the
impact of this kiss. Now Julia knew what it meant to be kissed breathless.
With
a mind of their own, her arms crept up his back, pulling him closer, sliding
her hands against the soft fabric of his shirt. She operated purely on
instinct. Her sole sexual experience had been with Charles, and she began to
realize she might as well have had nothing after all. Her breasts ached even
more, silently begging to be touched and held. Her nipples tingled, fire built
between her legs, and she didn’t know what to do with it. This was all so new
to her.
Without
releasing her mouth, Luke slid his hands under her sweater, caressing the soft
flesh with featherlight touches on her ribs and her spine, tracing lines and
drawing patterns as he learned the curves and angles of her body. His fingers
branded her every place he touched her. With an easy deftness, he slipped the
hooks on her lacy bra, releasing her breasts and cupping them at last in his
hands.
At
last! She nearly groaned with relief.
When
his thumbs rasped against her nipples, she felt them harden—a delicious shiver
ran through her body.
The
entire time his hands roamed over her upper body, his mouth never left hers. He
kept her welded to him as he fed on her taste, stealing her breath. He tasted
pleasantly of whiskey and male, a heady combination. An aphrodisiac that made
her head spin and her senses riot.
His
finger drew patterns on her spine, caressing each bump and space. They came to
rest for a moment on the upper swell of her ass, then walked their way up her
ribs to her breasts.
Aroused
by Luke’s stimulating touch and desperate to feel his naked skin, she brought
her hands around to open the buttons on his shirt. Yanking the tails from his
trousers, she frantically pushed the garment from his shoulders and down his
arms until it fell to the floor. She ran her hands over him, exploring his
upper body, wanting to touch him everywhere at once. She skimmed his chest with
her fingertips, relishing in the feel of the crisp hair curling on his chest
and the hard buttons of his nipples.
The
thickness of his cock pressed against her stomach, increasing her own heat. Her
legs were suddenly weak and shaky, and she clung to his lean body for balance.
His hands dropped to her waist and slowly unfastened the button on her slacks.
The rasp of the zipper being lowered was loud in the room. As he pushed her
slacks down her hips and thighs, he lifted his mouth from hers at last.
Lowering his head, he closed his mouth over one taut nipple.
“Ohhh.”
The tiny cry of pleasure rippled from her throat as his lips tugged and pulled
on the hardened flesh.

Hot excerpt! Finding Julia sounds like another wonderful read:)
I agree there are times when it's not prudent to tell a man that he's the father. What if he's a control freak? An abuser? Someone who might kidnap the child and take her/him overseas? I'm reminded of that movie with Sally Fields - I believe it was called "Not Without My Daughter" where her husband, a supposedly nice guy, became abusive and moved the family to his home country (somewhere in the Middle East if I'm remembering correctly) and started to phyically/emotionally abuse Sally and she had to rescue herself and her daughter from the situation.
Congrats on your newest release - looks awesome! :)
Best of luck with your release, Desiree! I'm sure it will be another winner for you.

Great excerpt, Desiree. I felt the heat.
Where's my fan? Love the excerpt. Lots of luck and I know you'll have it.
Great excerpt Des. Sometimes I don't think the father needs to know. I have to agree with Tina on that.
All that said, Luke deserves to know about his child. Julia's ex is an ass and should be slapped upside his head. Just saying.

What a spicy excerpt! I like a story with a good dose of angst to go with the romance!
Wow, what a hot excerpt. I love the cover. I love secret baby books, have even written one. It's a tried and true storyline. In the ones I've read the authors made a good case for why the mothers never told the fathers about the babies.
