EXCERPT
“Mac,” I said, shaking his shoulder. “Wake up.”
Mac began to stir, but he wasn’t fully waking up. I went toward the drapes and pulled them open, inviting the bright sunshine to illuminate the room, but had to cover my eyes from the searing pain in my head, opening them had created.
“Oh, my head. Close the drapes…please,” he murmured.
“I need you to wake up and tell me what happened last night, Mac.”
“What do you mean, what happened last night?”
“I have a ring on my finger that tells me something happened. A ring on my left hand ring finger.
Did we do something crazy? Do you remember?”
Mac sat straight up in bed. The sheet pooled around his hips revealing his upper body. His bare chest looked like a work of art sculpted by Michael Angelo. I had thought he was good looking with his sandy brown hair, big blue eyes, Hollywood smile, and the slight beard framing his face, but I had no idea his clothes were hiding all that. Mac swung his legs out of bed and got up, revealing the whole package. Every part of him looked like it had been chiseled by a master. I tried to avert my eyes as he walked past me, but I couldn’t tear them away. Mac was one magnificent man.When he came out of the bathroom a few minutes later, he was wearing the other bathrobe, looked like he’d washed his face, and had a hand towel around his neck. He looked like he had taken a minute to regroup. I was a little disappointed he was covered up, as part of me would have liked another viewing of his muscled physique. I felt myself turning crimson at my own lustful thoughts of him.
“How about some water?” he asked, as he reached for an overpriced bottled water the hotel
supplied. Obviously, for times like this.
“Thanks,” I said, as he handed me a bottle.
We both took a moment, and I drank practically half of it in one long gulp.
I frowned at him and asked again, “Do you know what happened last night?”
“I think we got married last night.”
“What?” I practically screamed at him.
“Take a look for yourself,” he said, lifting a piece of paper toward me. I took the paper out of his hand and sat on the sofa next to him, staring at it, blinking my eyes, as if that was going to change what I was seeing. Sure enough, it had both of our signatures on it and indicated we were married.
“This can’t be. We can’t be married,” I said, as I stared at the piece of paper that somehow had to be a joke.
“I’m afraid it can be. We got married last night.”
“Do you think anybody knows? Do you remember any part of this?”

I have always had a passion for reading my entire life. I love it so that I dedicated my life to educating children. As a teacher, I have had the profound pleasure of teaching children to read and explore their imaginations through a good book. Just recently I decided to write a story that had been on my mind. Now I have several that I want to turn into additional books. Writing has become a passion that I dearly love.I live with my handsome husband in Southern California. We enjoy the relaxed lifestyle that California provides. We have two beautiful dogs, but no children.
