But my writer's brain couldn't help wondering, "What if?" What if the executive director and the DON didn't get along so well? Or what if they got along a little too well and didn't want to admit it? The more I thought about it, the more the idea intrigued me. Before long, Lisa's Kiss was born.
The novel tells the story of Michelle Kittredge, the newly-appointed director at one of the city's finest nursing facilities. Her director of nursing, Lisa, is respected throughout the nation for her skill and professionalism. There's just one problem: a few years earlier, Michelle had a brief relationship with Lisa and then ended it.
Now Lisa is out for...something. Does she want Michelle back, or does she want to make Michelle's life miserable for daring to dump her? Even Lisa isn't sure of the answer to that question, and the result is a blend of moments that range from intensely erotic to humiliating to downright funny.
Michelle's life doesn't get any easier when Jennifer, an attractive and allegedly straight assistant, promptly makes a beeline for Michelle. This incites Lisa's jealousy even more.
On top of everything else, of course, Michelle is still responsible for making sure her facility runs smoothly and that her clients are happy. It's a tough job, especially when the lives of the owners of the facility contain at least as much drama as her own.
Will Michelle give into Lisa's charms, bratty games, and oh-so-sweet kisses? Or will she hold out for something different this time around?
Some readers who enjoyed Lisa's Kiss wrote to ask me what had happened to Lisa to make her such a loose cannon. For a long time, the answer was simple: I didn't know. But slowly Lisa began to captivate my imagination as something much more than a plot device. Why was she so messed up, and why did she have such dangerously mixed feelings for Michelle?
The answer came forth slowly in a new book, Lisa's Nightmare, which will be published on Amazon within the next couple of months. So, read Lisa's Kiss now and look forward to learning more about Lisa very, very soon. Each book can stand on its own, but I think you'll enjoy them more if you read them together.
