“With 28 million children eating lunch at school every day in the United States, I believe government has an obligation to ensure parents have some peace of mind when they send their children off to school in the morning, ..

But at times I want the reader to focus on a certain word or a certain image and pause there.”

“With a bashful smile, Maddie set down her wine glass. She touched a fingertip to her collarbone, idly stroking up and down the slender ridge. She did that when she was nervous, Logan had noticed. Unfortunately, the little gesture that she found soothing did not have a similar effect on him. On the contrary- it inflamed his every base desire. He swallowed hard, unable to tear his gaze away from that single, delicate fingertip stroking back and forth. And back and forth.
