~~ Exclusive Teaser For This Tour Stop ~~
Miami, Mistletoe & Murder Excerpt 2
Noel snuggled back against Travis’s chest, savoring his strong embrace. They were sitting on a bench right in front of the bay watching fully decorated boats cruise by. He’d scooted back on his seat so that she could sit in between his very muscular legs and she was completely soaking up every moment of this bliss. He’d somehow snagged a blanket for them and since her coffee shop had a cart at the event they hadn’t had to wait to get hot chocolate or snacks.
It had been a long time since she felt so content. She knew there were no guarantees that anything permanent would ever develop between her and Travis but after spending a day with him, she still wanted more. A lot more.
And he seemed to feel the same. He was very affectionate, something she found she craved. At least there was no guesswork anymore about whether he was attracted to her. She could feel the proof of it against her back. She loved that he didn’t try to hide it from her—not that he actually could. From what he’d told her about his limited dating track, and what she’d seen with his tattoos and piercings, she was pretty sure he didn’t let many people in. Body art could be a form of armor, so the fact that he let himself relax with her touched her deeply.
“What are you thinking?” he whispered against her ear, his warm breath and deep voice making her toes curl.
He’d pulled the blanket up around their bodies and his arms were wrapped around her chest protectively. She placed one hand over his and gently squeezed. “I’m curious about that piercing, among other things.” She’d be lying if she said she hadn’t been thinking about it all damn day.
He hissed in a breath behind her and his arms tightened a fraction. She loved getting a reaction out of him. She’d discovered that he had a tendency to keep his emotions and reactions in check. But there was no pretending her comment hadn’t affected him. It was easier for her to be bold when she wasn’t looking directly at him. Whenever he caught her in that dark gaze, her tongue got all twisted up. In this position, she could tease him and she enjoyed it.
One of his hands moved under the blanket, slowly and seemingly innocent. But she had a feeling there was nothing innocent about his intentions. There was another couple on the opposite end of the bench, but they were animatedly talking about the different light designs on the yachts, dinghies, and everything else in between—and thankfully paying her and Travis no attention whatsoever. Still, he couldn’t mean to do what she thought he did. Could he?
“What are you curious about?” He played with the button of her jeans, teasing her.
She had no doubt he knew how crazy he was driving her and he hadn’t even touched her intimately. But the thought of his fingers dipping lower… Wait, he’d asked a question. Well, two could play that game. “How it will feel against my tongue.” Noel had no clue where she’d found the nerve to say that, but couldn’t fight the grin when he let out a low, strangled rumble from his chest.

Sounds fantastic! Thanks so much for the fun post and giveaway!
Thanks for stopping by, Erin
Is this a full set for now or will Katie be writing more stories in this series?
Hi Anne, I’m definitely continuing the series! Each story is very much a stand-alone even though there are recurring characters, etc. I wrote it this way b/c I want this series to be open-ended. I have two planned to release in the first half of next year. I should have some updates on that by the end of December
I love Katie Reus’ books! I can’t wait to read this set. Katie, where do you get all your ideas? I love the fact that you sometimes use disfigured heroes. That makes them all the more sexy to me. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Rhonda D
Hi Rhonda! I have a very active imagination (probably overactive, lol). I love people watching and making up stories about their lives. Really, the inspiration of ideas are everywhere from a headline to a line from a song. I usually ‘see’ a scene in my head and then the rest of the story just expands from there.
Congrats Katie on your newest release! I would like to know if this is your first holiday story and what inspired you to write a holiday story that is part of a series and not a standalone novella? And how did you like the experience, will there be more holiday stories?
Thank you!
Hi Stella! Thanks! This is my first holiday story, but it won’t be my last. I’m a total Christmas junkie; I love decorations, the music, giving gifts, etc. I really wanted to get Travis’s story out by the end of this year and it just worked out that I got to combine two of my favorite things: Christmas and a very delicious hero
I have this series on my wishlist, they sound sooo good! Thanks for the chance to win them Katie!
Thanks, Aurian!
I haven’t had the privilege of reading your books yet!! They sound awesome and I’d love to be entered to win them. I do love romantic suspense.. Thanks for the chance.
These sound intriguing.
