So, although On Lavender Lane just came out this past week, I'm sticking with Lucas and Maddy a bit longer. After Lucas found her drinking champagne on the beach, he carried her up to his cliff house, where she managed -- with a bit of help, lol -- to pull him down onto the bed with her. But he's a SEAL. A man of honor.
Enjoy:
Desperate, but determined not to show it, he stood up.
"Here's the deal. You're drunk. Which is totally understandable under the circumstances. But when we make love, and we will, I want you stone-cold sober.
"So that when I'm finished with you, years -- hell, decades -- from now, when we're old and gray and walking on the beach with our great-grandkids, all I'll have to do is look at you and you'll remember every single thing I did to you."
One person who comments will win a copy of either NYT, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller One Summer (Shelter Bay #2 with hottie Marine Gabriel St. James) or On Lavender Lane. Winner's choice. I'll announce the winner here, on Twitter, and Facebook tomorrow.
Oh, and don't forget, if you haven't entered my month-long Find Lucas drawing for a Kindle Touch, Nook Touch, or a gift card equivalent ($99), check out the details on my homepage.

Great 6, JoAnn! Love a man with principles... and confidence. :D
Wowza. I'll remember that line decades from now.
That was a great, powerfully sexy snippet. What a man!
Seriously fanning myself here! Wow!
Holy moly, JoAnn! Great six. I love his principles, both the honorable and the selfish. This is so moving up my TBR pile! :)
Oh, he's *that* kind of man, is he? Love it, JoAnn. And I've already bought the book -- it's waiting on my Kindle!
Oh that sounds wonderful, l love him! Great cover too!
Oh I LIKE him. Love the way he thinks, even when a bit drunk. Great excerpt!
Don't enter me, as I have already one a copy from you.. But the "anticipation of making me wait" as Carly Simon would sing, is keeping me on pins and needles to get my hands on this book. These snippets are just so great....
I just love these Navy Seal guys.. Can't get enough of them...
Woot! Alrighty then!
Hot and bothered here! lol. Great 6 JoAnn! Nancy E.
*Sigh* That was sexy AND romantic. Great six!
Sounds like my kind if guy :-)
The book sounds amazing, as your other Shelter Bay books. I absolutely love this series! I plan on getting mine today or tomorrow. Have a great week Joann, what a beautiful day here in Washington!
I want an man like this. He sounds awesome.
I think this was my favorite JoAnn Ross book to date! I can't wait for more of your wonderful stories! Thank you, JoAnn!! :)
I loved this book
_and we will_ I love this! A great snippet this week - I can't wait to read more!
Cannot wait, wait, wait! One Summer is in my TBR pile and will add On Lavender Lane as soon as I can. Hot, hot, hot!

I swear. He says the best stuff!
Love that man!!!
*blink, blink* Yes, please.
How is it possible to resist this guy? It's not. :) Fantastic six!
Can't find a better man.
He had me at "and we will."
Honorable guy... find me sitting on a block of ice trying to cool myself off after reading this..
Holy mother, that is HOT with all capitals....
Thanks to all who took the time to read and comment. I'd love to comment to you each individually, but I spent the day (finally!!) taking down the tree, visiting other sixers' sites, and now I really need to get something written down on Seaglass winter.
And special smooches to all those who've told me you enjoyed Lucas and Maddy's story! I so appreciate you taking them home with you! xoxo
Holy Cr@p Lucas!! You are hawt!!!!
He is totally swoon-worthy! Awesome six!
WoW!!! Looking forward to reading more about Lucas. And I can't wait to catch up on the other books I've missed!!!
WOW I love it. I love him! Absolutely wonderful six.
HE SOUNDS DREAMY! Can I have him? Shhh, don't tell my hubby! ;-) Oh wait, I do have that man!
He sounds very sexy! Should be a great read!
This was exactly what I needed...took Flyboy to the airport for deployment number 2 this morning so the rest of the day was jagged and rough. Now I have a new book to pick up (didn't realize that I missed the release day on this one) and I know that anything in Shelter Bay will do the trick. So many beautiful romances to sweep me away, and needless to say, I'm a sucker for these military heroes, especially since I have one of my very own:)
By the way, that was a pretty hot teaser! Loved it!
I can't wait to read it - Lucas just keeps sounding better and better!
Oh my... lol, you do sometimes see elderly couples with twinkles in their eyes. I bet their thinking back to times like this. :D
