Welcome to my guest Jane Leopold Quinn. She's celebrating the release of her new book. I'm sure you'll love it so give it a try!
The Gunny & The Jazz Singer
A Birchwood Falls Novel
by Jane Leopold Quinn
I've always loved the idea of small towns. I grew up in one but have lived in the big
city for more years than I did in the small town. I'm not sure I could re-acclimate to a small
town after all these years, so I'll write about them and about the people who
live there.
I created a small town called Birchwood Falls and even drew
a site plan for the town.
My first character was a Marine home on leave after almost a
decade of deployments in the Middle East. What kind of woman would be a good
foil for his military persona? Hmm…a
young artistic and musical jazz singer. Marc and Phoebe have divergent goals,
but their attraction is real and immediate. They've both lost a great deal in
their pasts but find love with each other.
Here's a description of The Gunny
& The Jazz Singer -
U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant Marc Rahn, Jr. enlisted
after high school graduation to escape the pain of his parents' fatal car
wreck. Now on leave after eight years and multiple Middle East deployments, he
returns to his hometown to put to rest his suspicions that the "accident"
might actually have been anything but.
What he doesn't expect on move-in day from the neighbor
across the street is an intriguing flash of pierced nipple. The breast's owner,
Phoebe Barnes, is a beautiful young jazz singer who has plans to make it big in
the music business. Her early years in foster care made her hungry for
attention and fame, and she's out to achieve both at almost any cost.
Despite their differing goals, Marc and Phoebe quickly give
in to the sizzling attraction between them. But will their passion turn deadly
when the person who killed Marc's family decides two murders might not have
been enough?
Author's Note: This book was originally published as Lost and Found.
It now has a new
title and new cover.
The Gunny & The Jazz Singer
- an R-rated excerpt-
You
can do this. It's just sex. No commitment. He swept her into his arms a
second after the front door snicked closed. She gasped at the sudden
weightlessness, then again when he sat down on the couch. Her heart beat madly,
her sensitive nipples pinged and the folds protecting her throbbing clit were
swollen and hot, preparing for his touch.
He plucked the butterfly clip out
of her hair and dropped it she didn't know where. When he took her lips she
didn't care where it went.
His palm cupped her head as he
devoured her. It wasn't a sweet kiss or tentative. Massaging her lips, spearing
his tongue inside her mouth, he brought out her response—immediate and fierce.
She gripped his head and whimpered at his intoxicating, wicked skill.
Lying across his lap left him with
room enough to begin opening the buttons of her blouse. The anticipation alone
heated the golden ring pierced through her stiffened nipple, which was now
growing more and more sensitive the closer he got to it.
"Jesus, I can't get over how
gorgeous you are. How perfect." His breath came heavy, his voice a barely
heard growl. His lips trailed over her chin to her neck.
He nipped sharply at her skin.
There'd be marks. She didn't care. Each stinging bite shot straight to her
clit. She squirmed, trying to relieve the agonizing arousal.
He groaned, his hand clamped around
her hip. "Hold still, baby. You're killing me."
A laugh burst from her at the same
moment he unhooked her bra in the front and spread the cups wide.
"Oh fuck."
Glancing at him, she saw his
attention was focused on the ring. "Suck it," she begged.
"Thank you for doing it. The
thought of it's been driving me nuts since I first saw it. He gave a brief
chuckle before closing his lips over her.
The tip of his tongue immediately
slid through the small hoop. The combination of that and gentle tugging and
suckling escalated the fire in her belly. Gripping his head, she arched her
back and grasped her other breast, pinching and twisting her own nipple.
He paused, raising his head. "Too
many clothes…" He stood up and carried her toward the bedroom. "I
need you naked and stretched out on my bed."
"Oh Marc." When he put
her on her feet to remove her blouse and bra, she attacked his shirt buttons,
sliding them free one by one. She pulled off his shirt, and they both surrendered
their jeans and underwear, dropping them on the hardwood floor.

About Jane
Sensual fantasies were locked in my
mind for years until a friend said, "Why don't you write them
down?"
Why not, indeed? One spiral notebook, a pen, and the unleashing of my imagination
later, and here I am with nineteen books published. The craft of writing
sensual romance has become my passion and my niche in life. I love every part
of the creative process—developing characters, designing the plot, even drawing
the layout of physical spaces from my stories. My careers have been
varied—third grade school teacher, bookkeeper, secretary—none of which gave me
a bit of inspiration. But now I'm lucky enough to write romance full time—the
best job in the universe! And I'm fortunate enough to have found my own happily
ever after husband.
