What inspired you to write your book?

I worked as a sports writer covering the WNBA and saw first hand the inner workings of the league. I also grew up playing basketball in both high school and college. The sport is near to my heart and I always wondered what would happen if a player and a referee fell in love.

Here is a short sample from the book:

Kat Schaefer feels the familiar acceleration as the force pulls her body deeper into the seat. Here she sits in another airplane during another takeoff to another city. She missed her first flight after yet another time-consuming TSA search simply because her ticket was randomly coded, but finally, she can relax. As she prepares to lean back and take a long-awaited nap, Kat glimpses the hand of the older woman next to her and notices she is clutching the armrest.
“I never get used to this,” the nervous woman says to Kat almost apologetically.
“It’s okay. It will get better in a few minutes once we hit altitude.”
“I really hate to fly. I prefer to be in a drug-induced stupor but my daughter wouldn’t let me take anything since I’m flying alone.”
Kat smiles politely but doesn’t feel like talking. She raises the window shade and squints outside. She can feel the Phoenix heat pulsing through the thick double-paned glass. There isn’t anything more scorching than Phoenix in late July other than a hot frying pan. After a look into the haze, she closes the window shade and closes her eyes. Trying to adjust her long legs in the cramped space isn’t easy; at five foot ten inches tall, Kat has never been completely comfortable in a coach seat. With long, straight black hair, steel-gray eyes, and an athletic, tall build, Kat Schaefer is strikingly beautiful and usually, both men and women turn their heads when she walks by. They also tend to talk to her on planes and in airports when she’d much rather remain anonymous.
For a split second, Kat can’t even remember what city she is headed to, but then she remembers she’s on her way home. She worked a game in Phoenix last night and a game in Minneapolis the night before that. She remembers that much. Professional officials in the Women’s National Basketball Association, or WNBA aren’t supposed to have favorites, but Kat loves working Diana Taurasi’s games. Sometimes the games run into each other, with little differentiating one night from another, but when Taurasi plays, she, at least, makes things interesting; her bubbly and highly competitive personality helps break up the monotony of the game. Last night was a close game, but thankfully, it was won by the play on the court and not by an official’s call. Now, Kat is headed home for few days off. She prefers traveling from hotel to hotel than spending any time in her home, but sometimes going home isn’t something she can opt out of.

    Bullets & Blackmail by Mish Daniels

    0 out of 5

    Don’t get involved with your target.

    I repeat: Don’t get involved with your target. It’s the first rule of the trade.

    What’s the trade? Part of it is cleaning up and taking out the trash. I don’t mean sweeping things under the rug or scrubbing out the laundry. I clean up the mess when things have gone so badly off the rails there is no other option. I make the problems go away, no questions asked.

    The other part? I find things. Lost things, stolen things or those belongings of your wealthy banker buddy that you covet but can’t afford. Anything is available for a price, pay me what I ask and its yours by whatever means necessary.

    One of those things was Emma Jones. The client paid me handsomely to find her, no questions asked.

    I never imagined what would happen next.

    Five lunchtime reads that are sure to leave you with a whet appetite and desire to sin.

    Following The Commandments isn’t always easy…

    Reverend James Ashworth

    Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain… unless offered redemption.

    Jessica Collins used to dread Sunday mornings. At least she did until the new Reverend stepped into church. Now she spends her days daydreaming about him and waiting for Sunday to come so she can listen to his sermons and fantasise about them both up on the altar.

    Will she find the nerve to make her fantasy a reality? Or will the saint inside her rise above the sinner?

    You Get What You Pay For

    Thou shalt not commit adultery… with another man.

    Sophie isn’t a lesbian; neither is she bisexual. She’s married to a man. So, why is she paying to sleep with a woman?

    Join Sophie on her first visit to a brothel where she spends an hour with Molly, and find out what her real agenda is.

    Hunters

    Thou shalt not steal… valuables.

    Husband and wife, Eric and Monica, have a plan. Seduction. To seduce women to feed their dirty desires. And tonight Monica’s seductive ways and bewitching powers don’t fail her. She gets her chosen girl. But will Eric get what he and his wife planned on?

    Seducing the Jury

    Thou shalt not bear false witness… without good reason.

    After committing a robbery together, Brooke and Danny thought they’d gotten away with it. That is until Danny is arrested. With an eye witness only seeing Danny at the scene of the crime, Brooke is determined to get her husband off the hook too. And she’ll do whatever it takes.

    Naughty Neighbours

    Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, wife or possessions… unless she’s gagging for it.

    Nelly loves her husband, but recently he has been hinting at spicing up their love life, which has made Nelly paranoid. Was she boring now after only three years of marriage?

    Determined to banish her fear of being dull in the bedroom, Nelly decides to knock their sex life up a notch or two. And her idea seems like a good one…at least until she has to clean the mess up afterwards.
