Please join me in
giving a warm welcome to my guest author, DeAnna Felthauser. Ms. Felthauser is
the author of the romantic “Wishes” series. I personally love the series and am
waiting, (not so patiently) for the third book in the series to be released!
Let me share with you what I’m talking about…
A Million Wishes
Blurb:
Mikayla
Johnson... Growing up in a poor, abusive household after her father is killed
in a car wreck; Mikayla had very few things in life that gave her joy. Her
writing, the old oak tree, her big brother Callum and her childhood crush Noah.
Could he help her heal from her past and give her the family she has always
wanted?
Noah
Cane... Noah is a Navy seal war hero coming home to the Georgia peach
plantation he was raised on to recover from losing his leg in war. His heart
was stolen by Mikayla the moment they met under a peach tree where she was
stealing peaches off his parent's property. Can she help him heal from his
injuries and give him something worth fighting for?
Join
Mikayla and Noah on a whimsical journey of love, passion and the discovery of
what they were truly meant to do with their lives. Sit back and enjoy their
playful banter and intense loving while they show the town of Sugar Creek what
it really means to have a heart of gold.
Excerpt:
His voice cracked just a bit, and she
lightly rubbed her hands over the sinuous muscles of his back and shoulders. He
felt so good, so firm and masculine. Gina was right, Noah is a dreamboat. He
smelled so good, like leather, sunshine and pure strong, sexy male. Right now though,
he looked vulnerable. Like, he was carrying the weight of the world on his
shoulders. They stood there like that for a while. Holding each other until his
stomach growled and she started giggling. “I think you need food, what sounds
good?”
He grinned at her and brushed a kiss on
her forehead. “Is there any place in this big o’ city that can make a good
country fried steak and potatoes?”
“I know just the place. Let’s go get some
food, then we can come back here and relax. Sound good?”
"That sounds perfect, kitten."
Her skin flushed from the pet name and he chuckled, kissing her nose before
they left.
Over dinner they chatted mainly about her
schooling and some of the beautiful places he had been. The conversation was
light and comfortable as they ate. They opted to stop at the grocery store on
the way home and pick up some ice cream and a few things for meals throughout
the weekend, since Noah really wanted to be lazy around the house. It wasn’t
often a SEAL got down time and he wanted to enjoy being with Miki and let his
body rest some.
Once they got back to Mikayla’s place, she
fixed them chocolate ice cream cones and they curled up on the couch to watch a
movie. His arm wrapped leisurely around her, as she rested her head on his
shoulder, taking slow licks of the chocolate. He groaned and she turned her
head looking innocent and sweet, with a dot of chocolate on the corner of her
mouth. He barely leaned in, and let his tongue drag across her lower lip,
kissing the corner of her mouth. “It tastes even sweeter coming off you, baby
doll.” She trembled, licking her lips, wishing she could taste him there. She
smiled when he uttered a low, playful, growl. “I think that was the sexiest
thing to ever happen to me, Noah.”
He grinned, then laughed out loud, shocked
when she dabbed her cone to his mouth and licked over it, tenderly sucking his
lower lip between hers, nibbling it. His body went rock hard and she flushed so
beautifully, so shyly, he had to force himself to finish his ice cream cone and
stop growling at her, lest he pick her up and take her to bed.
And if that isn’t
enough to intrigue you…there’s more!
Reflecting On Wishes
Blurb:
Six
years ago, Dakota was adopted by Noah and Mikayla Cane. Even with a close-nit,
loving family, nothing prepared him for falling head-over-heels in love with
Angel Vega. When a game of cat and mouse begins between the pair, Dakota is
persistent in what he wants. It may take him months to win her over, but he
knows she is worth the effort.
Deemed
the Latina Goddess of the race track, Angel is a Pro-Stock Motorcycle racer that
has been burned by love more than once. Letting down her walls and believing in
a man again, was the last thing on her mind. Just as Angel finds herself
falling for the ruggedly handsome Dakota, tragedy strikes and shatters her
racing dreams.
Devastated,
Angel retreats into a world of doubt, fear and broken dreams. Will Dakota do as
she wants and walk away, or will he be the strength she needs and fight for the
girl that owns his heart?
Excerpt:
His grin
was so endearing she simply huffed and shook her head, taking another bite of
her burger and trying to wipe the stupid grin off her face. He was so sweet.
Not to mention incredibly sexy. That could be a lethal combination. But damned
if she could back away now, this was too much fun. She had missed having
someone to laugh and flirt with.
Her
fingers itched to feel the texture of his closely cropped hair, which was black
as midnight, just like his mustache and goatee. He dwarfed her petite frame by
at least a foot. Angel stood five foot two inches tall and weighed a solid one
hundred and fifteen pounds. She was prime racing size. She could meld to her
bike until they were fused together as if they were one being; woman and
machine. Briefly she wondered just how well she would meld to Dakota. Her—small and lean; him—muscular and so
utterly male. She envisioned her soft caramel skin brushing up against his
dark, sinewy body. Angel realized at that moment that he was speaking to her
and she had no clue what he’d been saying. Her thoughts had strayed since they
were alone in her trailer.
“I’m
sorry, what did you say? My mind drifted for a minute.” Angel wadded up the
paper that had been wrapped around her burger, pitching it at the trashcan,
nailing the shot.
He
nodded, smiling at her. “Nice shot. I was just asking if you were busy tonight.
I thought maybe I could take you out to dinner or for a drink maybe.”
“Umm,
yeah, we could do that, I think. I can’t be out late though. I have an early
and long day tomorrow. But dinner sounds good. A girl’s gotta eat right?”
A knock
sounded at the door just before it opened and her dad stepped in. “Time to suit
up Angel. We gotta go get lined up.”
“Alright,
Papá. I’ll be out in a few.” She nodded towards the door, urging him to leave,
but Dakota could tell he didn’t want to go unless he left the trailer with him.
Dakota
looked back at Angel and smiled. “Do your thing, gorgeous. I’ll catch you
around later.” He reached out and brushed his thumb along her jaw before
turning and following her father out of the trailer.
Be sure to watch for
the third book in the series…coming soon!

Felthauser July 2013:
Excerpt:
The
wedding had turned out beautiful. It was a fairytale from start to finish.
Angel had been a stunning bride and Delilah had never seen her brother Dakota
so overjoyed. It was perfect. She was happy for them, truly.
Why
then, did she feel like utter crap right now? Something must be wrong with the
workings of her brain to be feeling so completely lonely in a house full of
people that she loved.
It
was getting late and Lilah couldn’t stand another minute of being in her
uncomfortable high heels and the buttercup yellow dress she’d worn to the
wedding. Heading upstairs to her room, she made sure she avoided the stairs in
the foyer, and instead she chose to go out the back door and take the stairs
from the deck that led to her brother Dominic’s room. From there she kicked off
her heels and carried them in her hand as she padded along on the plush
carpeting to her room. The softness felt like heaven on her sore feet.
Once
she was sequestered in her room, Lilah unzipped her dress and let it pool at
her bare feet, quickly shedding her undergarments and left them lay where they
fell as she walked into her bathroom. It was time for a hot bath with a
generous drizzle of lavender oil to soothe the ache in her feet, and her heart.
Lilah
once asked her momma after her first heartbreak at the age of fifteen why boys
were so dumb. Her mom had replied, “Because when they are around girls, they
suffer from blood loss to the brain and only idiotic things come out of their
mouths. We’ve all been through it, sugar, and you’ll make it through it too.
More than once…”
At
the time, Lilah had laughed and felt better knowing that she wasn’t the only
one to suffer through the stupidity of an immature boy. Of course, back then
she assumed that grown men would somehow be smarter. Boy was she wrong.
Stupid
Jake Kringle.
Lilah
made a sound of disgust and turned off her bath water, grabbing her cell phone
before she eased down into the tub of hot, fragrant water.
The
wedding had been a small affair with close friends and family, but her mom had
invited Jake and his adorable little girl Roxy since they had been working
closely with him for the last several months in the renovations of Kringle
Farms. Lilah knew her mom did it because apparently everyone knew she had a
crush on Jake and it was her feeble attempt at throwing them together again.
That was such a waste since he went out of his way to avoid her completely. In
fact, he probably wouldn’t have even spoken to her if sweet little Roxy hadn’t
made a beeline for her as soon as she saw her. The big jerk may not feel the
same way about her as she did him, but she certainly had a friend in Roxy. The
girl was an absolute delight. She definitely had more personality than her
father, that was for sure.
Scrolling
through her messages, Lilah rested her head back on the edge of the tub. It
became clear that was a bad decision when her phone beeped and a picture of Mr.
Tall Blond and Brooding popped up. Good gravy! Even with that stern look on his
face he was still sexy as hell. It was a wonder she didn’t drop her phone in
the water. It was bad enough her mind went south when she realized she was
looking at him while she was in the tub, naked and thinking about him. Her skin
flushed like she’d been caught with her hand in the proverbial cookie jar.
Sitting
up straight, Lilah slid the green bar over on her phone to open the text. It
took a moment for her figure out she was getting lightheaded because she was
holding her breath. Letting it out in whoosh, she read something that sent her
heart thumping.
