The mayor of Precious, Texas, commissions Shala Winters to
help the town become more of a tourist attraction. The
majority of the town is Native American with deep roots and
strong beliefs in tradition. Some want to keep out the
tourists, while others want to see the town prosper, and if
bringing more people into their world to reach that goal,
then so be it.
Shala is a very talented photographer whose job it is to
take pictures of Precious to entice others to visit its
sites. She has been forewarned that some natives don't want
her there. Shortly after arriving, a dog eats her lunch and
a gorgeous native warrior, in full headdress, steals
Shala's costly camera following a powwow demonstration. She
doesn't think her day can possibly get any worse, but of
course, she is totally wrong.
Sherriff Skye Gomez doesn't like it, but to keep his foster
father Redfoot happy and for the good of Precious, he
participates in the traditional powwow recently opened to
the public. On stage in full headdress, Skye sees Shala
take a photo of the ceremony. Since the sign outside
clearly states no cameras, he feels it is his duty to
confiscate her camera. Skye is aware that some of the
town's patrons don't want Shala there, but if you listen to
Redfoot and his dreams, the beautiful blue-eyed
photographer is Skye's soul mate. Skye believes in his
heritage, but thinks dreams by the gods is ridiculous. His
attraction to the danger prone woman is pure lust;
absolutely nothing more...or is it?
SHUT UP AND KISS ME is pleasantly charming with laugh-out-
loud humor any reader will enjoy. A fun read!
Photojournalist Shala Winters already had her hands full
bringing tourism to this backward, podunk little town, but
her job just got tougher. Pictures can say a thousand
words, and one of Shala’s is screaming bloody murder. Now
she has to entrust a macho, infuriating lawman with her
life—but she’ll never trust him with her heart.
Trusted or not, Sky Gomez isn’t about to let a killer get
his hands on Shala’s Nikon—or any of her more comely
assets, for that matter. Her mouth might move faster than
a Piney Woods roadrunner, but all he can think about is
how good it must taste…and how she’ll never escape true
love.
