But he held back, as if waiting for her permission.<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte\u2019s lips were mere inches from his. Her senses filled with him, with his scent, with the look in his eyes, and the sound of his ragged breathing. She trembled, but she wasn\u2019t sure if it was with excitement or fear. Perhaps it was both.<\/p>\n<p>All she knew was right now she wanted to kiss Damon Greyson more than she\u2019d wanted her next breath. She stretched up on her tiptoes and touched her lips to his.<\/p>\n<p>Damon\u2019s arms came around her and crushed her against his broad chest. Somehow her arms wound themselves around his neck and hung on tight. Every part of his body seemed to fit perfectly with hers, as if they were puzzle pieces made only for each other.<\/p>\n<p>And his mouth. Oh, his clever, wonderful mouth. His kiss was demanding, and yet so utterly tender it made her want to weep. It had been a long time since she\u2019d been kissed like this.<\/p>\n<p><em>No<\/em>, she corrected.\u00a0<em>I\u2019ve never been kissed like this<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9284\" src=\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/janar.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"177\" height=\"264\" \/>Author Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Jana Richards read her first romance novel, she immediately knew two things: she had to commit the stories running through her head to paper, and they had to end with a happily ever after. She also knew she\u2019d found what she was meant to do. Since then she\u2019s never met a romance genre she didn\u2019t like. She writes contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and historical romance set in World War Two, in lengths ranging from short story to full length novel. Just for fun, she throws in generous helpings of humor, and the occasional dash of the paranormal. Her paranormal romantic suspense \u201cSeeing Things\u201d was a 2008 EPPIE finalist.<\/p>\n<p>In her life away from writing, Jana is an accountant\/admin assistant, a mother to two grown daughters, and a wife to her husband Warren. She enjoys golf, yoga, movies, concerts, travel and reading, not necessarily in that order. She and her husband live in Winnipeg, Canada. She loves to hear from readers and can be reached through her website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.janarichards.com\">www.janarichards.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Social Media Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Website:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.janarichards.com\">http:\/\/www.janarichards.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Blog:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/janarichards.blogspot.com\">http:\/\/janarichards.blogspot.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Facebook:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JanaRichardsAuthor\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JanaRichardsAuthor<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/JanaRichards_\">http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/JanaRichards_<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Amazon Author Page:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/author\/janarichards\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/author\/janarichards<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Amazon UK Author Page:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/-\/e\/B002DEVWWG\">http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/-\/e\/B002DEVWWG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Newsletter Signup: <a href=\"http:\/\/janarichards.com\/contact.html#newsletter\">http:\/\/janarichards.com\/contact.html#newsletter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Goodreads:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/2892274Jana_Richards\">https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/2892274Jana_Richards<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bookbub: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookbub.com\/authors\/jana-richards\">https:\/\/www.bookbub.com\/authors\/jana-richards<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick 5 About Jana Richards &ndash; Favorite author?
