these three words and give me a 100 word or less scenario using them: nose, ginger, satire
Carley:
Tatiana mixed ginger into the cake batter. Stirring, she heard the door open and smiled.
"Tom?"
"Hi babe." Tom said, rounding the kitchen corner and planting a kiss on her upturned lips.
"Good day?" Tatiana asked, her attention returned to the mixture.

"Hmmmm", Tom half answered,
taking a deep whiff of the fragrant ingredients. "Looks like it's about to get better. Is
that my favorite dessert?"
Tatiana opened the oven and looked over her shoulder. "Use that nose for more erotic endeavors. There's more heating up than the oven."
Tom cocked a brow. "My mistress is seducing me with satire?"
Exactly 100 words :)

NO
GENTLEMAN IS HE
By
Carley Bauer and Lynette Willows
BLURB:
Young, adventurous, and widowed in a new land, Cassandra
Courtney Brooks finds her
dream of raising a superior breed of saddle horse slipping away with the death
of her husband. Left with four horses, living in a tavern attic, and her scant
savings depleting, she resolves to see her vision through to fruition by
accepting the scandalous position of steward at Varina Farms.
Born in the image of his native ancestry, Colton Rolfe’s savage blood runs through his veins. Scorned by his
father, Colt grew into a man of ill temperament whose only interest is the wild
equine beasts on his plantation. His desire to breed his horses with the
superior thoroughbreds of the newly widowed Cassandra Brooks leads him to
abandon societal rules. Colt’s growing resentment toward the Crown
and his assistance to Sons of Liberty missions is complicated by the discovery
that Cassandra’s father is a titled English nobleman.
Cassandra is soon
forced to question the wisdom of her decision when she finds herself enamored
with her employer. As fiery passion grows between
them, Cassandra realizes her own spirit of independence, love of the land, and
the savage man who is so much a part of it.
As the threat of war comes ever
closer, wills are tested through gunfire, treachery, danger, and kidnapping.
Does Colt dare trust Cassandra with Sons of Liberty secrets? More importantly,
can he trust her with his heart? And will Colt ever trust Cassandra enough to
love her as she longs to be loved?
EXCERPT:
“Can
I not expect any courtesy from you during this trip?” He sat to eat, several
feet away from her.
She
took a bite of biscuit and turned her head to stare off into the distance,
keeping her lips pursed with disapproval even while chewing.
“Stubborn
woman, short on temper and long on haste,” he mumbled between bites.
“Pardon
me?” she asked, despite her resolve not to talk to him. She cursed the
curiosity that overcame her firm resolve.
He
glanced at her innocently. “Nothing,” he said while scraping his dish clean.
“I heard you mumble,” she cast back,
irritated.
“Did
you?”
“If
you have something to say to me, Mr. Rolfe, I prefer it be to me and not the
blades of grass at your feet.”
“I
was unaware of any topic worthy of your attention. You have made it
sufficiently clear nothing I have to say is of interest to you.” He stared at
her. In the dusky light, however, it was difficult for Cassandra to see his
expression clearly, and it frustrated her. She could imagine his familiar
glower though.
“You
are correct in your assumption, Mr. Rolfe,” she said, looking away as if
dismissing him. The ongoing silence between them bothered her greatly.
Nonetheless, she could not bring herself to relent.

AUTHOR INFORMATION:
Lynette Willows
I’m Lynette Willows. I live in rural
Alberta, Canada. My debut novel, “No Gentleman Is He”, the first in the Sons of
Liberty series, is co-written along with my partner in romance, Carley
Bauer.
Some have mentioned
I have a very interesting past. Not only was it unusual, but some would even
say reckless. I’ve lived on an Indian reserve in a teepee with my young son for
three months in the winter, I’ve chased storms, and worked as a social services
aide on one of the most troubled and dangerous reserves in Canada, where I met
great friends as well as made a few enemies.
I enjoy camping, movies, especially
historical bio dramas, strange dogs, stranger cats, exclamation points, coffee
mugs with stupid sayings, friends, the crazier the better, family, as long as
they are crazier than I am, and I have a huge collection of shiny, outrageous
earrings. Yes, I’m a magpie. I’ll only play chess with my husband because he’ll
let me win.
If you’re curious about my favorite
reading material, it’s very eclectic and varied. I’m extremely picky about what
I read, so check out my “to read” list on Goodreads. You can also follow me and
Carley, my talented, patient, and illustrious co-author at our fan page on
Facebook at “Lynette Willows & Carley Bauer”. I’m also on Twitter under
@LynetteWillows, as well as Pinterest, though I’m still figuring that out. You
are welcome to also visit me and chat at “Lynette Willows, Author” at http://lynettewillows.blogspot.ca/.
“I have enormous
respect for the reader. They are able to take symbols from a page that an
author has invented, and turn them into images in their minds that create an
enduring story. If that’s not artistry, I don’t know what is.”-Lynette Willows
