Excerpt
Noah
felt the hair on the back of his neck rise before he even saw her.
Her skin shimmered with sweat. A bright blue tank top hugged her
breasts, short black athletic shorts clung to her curves, and bright
blue sneakers covered her feet. The woman’s legs went on forever.
He indulged in a brief fantasy of running his hands up those tan
legs, hips, and up to her ample breasts. As his pants got tighter
with a growing erection, he forced himself to turn and grab a drink
of water.
For
his sanity, Noah wanted to ignore her presence. Too bad he needed to
speak to her. He couldn’t ignore what she was doing for Lexi.
“Excuse me, Sofia?”
“Hello,
Noah.” She smiled and continued to the bottom step of the house’s
porch.
Noah
walked toward her. “Can I talk to you?”
Her
eyes locked on his with discomfort, “Yes?”
When
they were a few feet apart, her smell hit him hard. Her sweat had yet
to mask the sweet smell of peaches. She wasn’t covered in the
strong perfume smell so many women seemed to bathe in. He noticed she
wore no makeup either. The woman was truly stunning. He placed his
hands in his pockets and rocked back on his heels.
“I
wanted to thank you for what you’re doing for Lexi. You had every
right to press charges, but I’m very grateful you didn’t. She’s
a good kid…” He looked up at the second floor of his house,
almost expecting to see Lexi standing at her window. “She’s just
had a rough time, and I can’t snap her out it. I hope this close
call does it.” He found himself wanting to tell Sofia more, but
there was no point. Lexi would do her time with Sofia, and he would
walk away with as little contact as possible.
Her
head tilted to the side, Sofia’s knowing eyes pierced him. “Sounds
like you both have been having a rough time.”
Her
comment took him off guard. “Yes. No. Yes.” Noah struggled to
breathe at the thought of how rough these last two years had been.
When he looked at Sofia, he expected a confused look or even pity but
not compassion. Yet her eyes sparkled when she gave him a small
smile. Why did he always feel as if she was looking through him or
reading his mind?

Interview With AJ
Renee:
- Can you tell us a little about your book?
Widower’s
Aura
is set in a fictional town outside of New Orleans, Louisiana. The
story follows Sofia after she moves to the small town and Noah is the
newest face in town. They see each other one night at the local pub.
Sofia is not only attracted to the sexy as sin man but can’t
understand why her quirky gift of seeing auras is nonexistent with
the tempting man.
Noah
is shocked to find his body awaken to desire for the mysterious woman
after years of not even a brief stir. He can’t afford any
distractions from settling his daughter and himself in the small
town. Unfortunately the frustrated and grieving daughter who is
normally a good kid begins to rebel, bringing Sofia and Noah
together. When Sofia becomes the victim of numerous vandalisms Noah
steps up to protect the woman who’s wormed her way into his heart.
He hopes he can do for her what he wasn’t able to do for his own
wife. Keep her safe.
- Using one sentence can you describe Widower's Aura?
A
sweet, small town romance with steamy sex scenes and a dash of
paranormal.
- What inspires you to write?
The
characters do. They become these living, breathing, humans in my mind
and their story calls to me. I need to know who they are and where
they are going as much as I hope my reader does. It’s almost a
compulsion.
- Do you work with an outline, or just write?
I
have a mental outline and I write notes as the ideas come but mostly
I just write. I find myself laughing and crying as the words appear
on the screen the same way I would if I picked up another authors
novel.
- Do you have a favorite food or drink you must have nearby when writing?
I
love Lipton’s Jasmine, Orange and Passionfruit tea. It relaxes me
and I love to pop a few squares of dark chocolate in my mouth. If it
has caramel in the center even better!
- What was the last book you read?
The
last book I finished was Cassie Alexander’s Resisting
the Biker.
I just started part two, Surviving
the Biker.
- What writing projects are you currently working on?
I’m
currently editing book two of my St. Fleur series, Always
Mine.
It follows Lindsey and Marc, best friends to Sofia and Noah. I’m
also just over halfway complete with book 3 and I created a short
story a couple months back that I NEED to extend. Dylan and Andi, the
short story, are calling to me daily to return to them but I need to
focus on the others first.
Thank you for the opportunity to be today's 'Featured Author!' It means a lot and I hope your readers enjoy Sofia and Noah's story as much as I enjoyed writing it. You'll get a bit more of them in book 2, Always Mine, which features Lindsey and Marc's story. Thanks again, ladies!- AJ
