Wild Irish (Book 1 of the Weldon Series) (38 page)

She had another charity auction planned and she knew just the thing to make it a resounding success as well as an excellent way to commemorate their “fishing trip.” A way that neither he nor she would ever forget.

Situating herself at the right angle from the sun, she lifted her camera and focused on Jesse’s nude body. He was hard and smooth all over, she thought as she closed in on the broadness of his chest and the nuances of light and shadow playing upon muscle and flesh. Her gaze drifted lower, following the dark line of silky hair as her fingers tingled with the need to touch. Her body thrummed to the vibrant, sensual display of maleness before her.

“
Jesse,” she called softly.

“
Hmm,” he slit his eyes open to a sexy, dangerous level and she took his picture.

“
Lexi!” he shouted rolling to his feet and coming at her. “What are you doing?”

“
Just captured the perfect male on film for the upcoming charity auction.” She turned and ran through the villa. Tossing the camera into a bag hidden behind the curtain, she ducked out a side door and made it to their secluded beach. She had just enough time to position herself so Jesse wouldn’t be able to resist her before he gave up looking for the camera and came running after her. He jumped on top of her.

“
Where’s the camera, Lexi?”

She smiled. “I’ll never tell.”

“
Yes, you will.” He leaned down and lashed her nipple with his tongue mercilessly.

“
No I won’t.” And she didn’t, no matter how many times her wild Irish devil made her come.

Author Note:

I love telling stories whether they are a simple, sexy read, a complex paranormal thriller, a historical murder mystery, or an edge of your seat romantic suspense. To me, mutual love, respect, and acceptance are the very heart of relationships and life. So I hope you’ll take a chance and enjoy all of my stories and the beauty of love that unfolds when my hero and heroine meet and learn how love can truly conquer all.

Happy Reading!

Jenni, in her own words
:

Under a barrage of nagging by BFF’s, I’ve been told my bio was boring, not at all a reflection of just who I am beneath the surface, which is a compliment…I think. So, I promised to rev it up a bit. Thus the reason why I’m sitting here staring at the computer screen with nothing but crickets in my brain. I’m totally into making up wild and interesting stories with a lot of heart thrown into the mix, but telling people about myself isn’t so easy. What can I tell you about me?

I don’t play video games or watch horror because I can’t take the heat, but give me a kickass thriller every minute of every day and I am there. Be prepared for a Hoover Dam meltdown if you’re with me and the movie is sad. So, to avoid disaster, I love romantic comedies.

Never coffee. Always tea. Never beer. Always champagne. There’s more, but hey, gotta save some secrets until after the first date, right?

I grew up in Miami. Went to nursing school in Georgia, where I now reside. I raised and home schooled three great kids. I wrote for nine years before I sold a book, which made me a firm believer that a person should NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP ON THEIR DREAMS.

I remember my father’s remark after a particularly scandalous story about one of my ancestors, a story that involves a conspiracy, treason, betrayal, murder, and execution, a story that after a drink or two in the bar, I might be enticed to share. Anyway, what my father said was, “You can’t keep a good man down.” And I kind of see that in myself. Not that I am necessarily good, because the definitions of moral words are often relative, but I do persevere, and I am resilient. Nothing in life has ever worked out the way I planned for it too. In many areas of my life, I have yet to reach the level I thought I would, of where I envisioned I would be, but I haven’t given up. I won’t give up. I continue to work hard and do everything I can to help who I can and to make my dreams come true.

Besides great kids, family, and friends, that perseverance has so far garnered me a USA Today Bestselling tag and twelve plus books on the shelf in a number of genres (contemporary romantic suspense, historical suspense, paranormal suspense, and contemporary romance). I’ve won a number of writing awards, two National Choice Awards, three Maggie Awards, a RT Book Club Reviewer’s Choice Award, the Daphne du Maurier Award, the Marlene Award, and the Golden Heart Award to name most of them. I work with several amazing women in a charity to raise money for a shelter that helps abused and homeless women and children. I’ve revived my nursing career after a long hiatus, have renewed my license, and will find the right job for me.

I know there are many more great things ahead.

I write romance because I believe that when you boil all of life down to its essence, if you take a human being to the very core of his existence, then you will find that what matters more than anything else is to be loved and to give love.

Life is all about choices and to pull from one of Erich Fromm’s quote, I choose to create and to love rather than destroy and to hate.

I hope you enjoy my stories.

Go forth, dream, believe, create, inspire, and love,

Jenni (J.L. Saint, Jennifer St. Giles, Jennifer Saints)
