SHUT UP AND KISS ME

Romance Contemporary

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!

SUMMARY

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 lifeβ€”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 Nikonβ€”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.
