Today on First Kiss Friday, we welcome romance
author, J. L. Regen, and an excerpt from her Contemporary Romance, “Secret
Desires.”
Nothing in Margo Simmons’s
life comes easy. She can’t claim the inheritance on a condo apartment her uncle
has left to her until she is gainfully employed in a job for a year. She meets
the man of her dreams but anguishes over a loving relationship because he is
still emotionally tied to his deceased wife. With great difficulty, she becomes
the guardian to a recently orphaned child she had been tutoring. Margo evolves from an insecure, newbie
elementary teacher into a woman determined to fulfill the secret desires locked
in her heart. My story speaks to anyone who has suffered a loss and had to
start over.
J.L. Regen’s book was
inspired by a real life story of lovers who join hearts against many odds. She
lives in the New York metropolitan area, is a published photojournalist, has
short suspense stories online, and has taught English as a Second Language to students
around the globe. This is her first contemporary romance. She has also
published three nonfiction books and is crafting a historical suspense set in
World War II.
First Kiss Excerpt
What shall we drink to?”
“Just because.”
Edward held out his hand. “Let’s go for that
walk.”
Margo emptied her glass, grabbed him by the
shoulders, and kissed him again. He tasted like lemon and spice. “There. Now
you’ve been welcomed.”
He kissed her back.
Tempted to prolong the moment, she shut the
front door and led the way down the veranda steps. She sensed this was the kind
of guy who liked to take the lead. She’d made the first move. From here on, it
was up to him.
“Aren’t you going to lock it?”
