Excerpt from DADDY IN DRESS BLUES

"Are you going to lecture me again?" Curt demanded.

"Are you going to listen this time?" Jessie replied.

"I always listen, Jessie." His voice turned husky. "But I pay attention to your actions more. Like when you kissed me."

"I think we should forget that kiss," she said firmly.

"I'm going to have to decline that request."

"It wasn't a request," she shot back. "It was an order."

"We're no longer in Daddy Boot Camp. So you're no longer in a position to be giving me orders."

"I'll come watch Blue dance," Jessie told him. "But don't go getting any other ideas."

Not get ideas? About Jessie? Impossible!
