Victoria Jansen, card carrying MENSA member, can write a book about Quantum Physics—but get her around a handsome man and Charlie Chaplin looks graceful compared to her. She's determined to break out of her shell--and she's going to start with the sexy plumber in her basement.

Erik Sanders doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to know that Victoria is trouble. The physicist has the mind of a computer and the body of a centerfold model—too bad she's also the prime suspect in his industrial espionage case. Working undercover as a plumber will get him the evidence he needs to close this case.

Once he realizes his sexy suspect is an innocent pawn, he must protect her until the real criminals are brought to justice. And as her bodyguard, Erik finds himself guarding her body more closely than he should. Suddenly scientific principals like chemistry and forces of nature are taking on a whole new meaning.

Audio excerpt podcast

So, I just recorded my first audio excerpt podcast. Doing an interview is a bit different than reading an excerpt, and I am a bit nervous about the result. Now, mind you, I read to my daughter every day. But reading to one's daughter and recording an excerpt are quite a bit different. First, I discovered that, in recording, all those "cool" voices I did sounded almost exactly alike. In my head, there's a big difference. Um, not so much when recorded. LOL So, I decided to nix the voices as they weren't that successful anyway. I hope that all of you will take the seven minutes (yes, it really is seven minutes, but not for the reason you are thinking -- grin) to listen to the excerpt and let me know what you think. I am hoping that the more I do, the easier they will become.

Oh, yeah, the link would be good, huh? Well, here it is:

Oh, one last thing: be kind. (grin)
