Woot! Alright dearlings we've got Ms Jessica Scott joining us today for an awesome guest post and giveaway. She writes wonderful Military based romances and has a new short story out, Anything for You. I've read the first two full length books in the series and absolutely loved them.

From the author of Because of You comes an all new Coming Home short story.

Sergeant First Class Shane Garrison has spent a year recovering from his combat injuries. A year spent in the arms of the woman of his dreams. But loving Jen comes with a price: every time he touches her, he faces the uncertain fear that loving her might mean losing her forever.

Jen is a breast cancer survivor and with Shane, she’s found a man who loves her despite her scars. But her scars may be too much for their love to survive.

As their love grows, so does the risk to Jen’s life. And Shane must make the toughest decision any man can make to save the woman he loves.




Thanks so much for having me here today! I love the name of this site because, well, I always joke that I can burn water (yes this has actually happened).

In the spirit of cooking disasters, I thought I'd share for y'all the time I thought I'd blown up my kitchen. I'm not really sure how it happened, honestly, but I now understand the need for kitchen timers.

So one day I was boiling eggs. My kids are really picky eaters and hard boiled eggs are one of the things they actually eat. So I put about a half dozen eggs on the stove in some water and figured I'd come back in about 10 minutes.

Well there is a reason kitchen timers exist. Burned baked goods not withstanding, they serve a very valid purpose. So I got distracted doing something - probably twitter- and the next thing I there was a loud pop in the kitchen.

And I could not for the life of me figure out what the heck was going on. So I run out there just in time to see an egg explode out of the pan and all over my counter and microwave.

It was awesome. And by awesome I mean one heck of a mess. But I learned a valuable lesson about kitchen timers and letting the interweb distract you.
