Deep in the South\u2014Georgia, to be specific. Although I\u2019ve traveled extensively, I\u2019ve never encountered the unique feel of the Southern states anywhere else. There\u2019s just something about the air down here that makes everything seem more laid back, inspires a slower pace and a sense of welcome. Even living in a large Southern city as I do, I still see these bits of down-home hospitality that this region is known for. When I began writing, there was never a question of where my stories would take place. There\u2019s nothing I love more as a reader than when an author\u2019s setting becomes a character itself. And what better character is there than the South? Especially when you dig deep into the smaller regions of Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas. These towns, and everyone in them, are just tales waiting to be told. Everyone is in everyone else\u2019s business, and that leaves the door wide open for entertaining fiction, as far as I\u2019m concerned. And what\u2019s even more delicious is when you bring an outsider into one of these small towns. My personal favorite is an unsuspecting heroine being thrust into the South at the mercy of a Southern gentleman. She\u2019s not going to stand a chance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5915\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5915\" style=\"width: 184px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jasminejade.com\/p-9074-southern-exposure.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5915\" title=\"southernexposure_msr\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/southernexposure_msr-184x300.jpg?resize=184%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"184\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5915\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Click to purchase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This was just the premise I used in my latest release from <strong>Ellora\u2019s Cave<\/strong>, <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>SOUTHERN EXPOSURE<\/strong><\/span>.

She watched as the taxi\u2019s taillights     disappeared down the long drive and into the distance before searching     blindly for the decorative pot where the house key was hidden. A flash of     lightning crackled in the night sky and Anna jumped, clutching her chest     and stumbling over what felt like a giant bag of potting soil. Her stiletto     heel slipped between the boards of the front porch, snapping off when she     tried to right herself.<\/p>\n<p>She slipped the shoe off and groaned. Like her day     hadn\u2019t been sucky enough.<\/p>\n<p>An emergency phone call to her office had launched her into     a journey requiring three airports, two flights and a midnight taxi ride     into Nowheresville. And now this. Anna glared at     the mutilated shoe in her hand, grabbed its mate and tossed both over the     porch railing with a disgusted sigh. She continued to feel around for the     planter in the pitch-black night until her fingers brushed its smooth     surface and she was able to extract the key from beneath. She unlocked the     door and fumbled for the wall switch. Sighing in relief, she flipped it.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell that\u2019s just great,\u201d she muttered. \u201cNo power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She pushed the door closed with her hip and leaned     against it, tears threatening to slip over her lashes. She shook her head,     willing the negative emotions away. She was just tired\u2014the panic that had     seized her before learning her mother would make a complete recovery must     have finally caught up with her, rendering her an emotionally fragile mess.     Everything would seem different in the morning. She just needed some sleep     before she went back to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Anna locked the door and then took tiny steps to avoid     tripping on anything as she made her way to the tiny spare bedroom. She     unbuttoned her wet blouse and skirt as she went, letting the soaked     garments fall to the floor. A clap of thunder roared in the angry night and     Anna cringed as she slid her hand down the wall, searching for the bedroom.     Her fingers met air and she eased through the open doorway. Reaching in     front of her, she felt for the foot of the bed and groped the edge until     she was able to drop on top of the mattress in a heap of exhaustion.     Releasing a long sigh, she turned onto her side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou must be Annabelle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anna\u2019s hip met the floor with a thwack, her head bumping     the wall as she tried to gain her footing. \u201cDamn it!\u201d She scrambled to her     feet, her pulse rioting. \u201cWho are\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The beam of a flashlight illuminated the small room in     faint light and she gasped at the stranger who stood on the other side of     the bed wearing a smile and very little else.<\/p>\n<p>She lurched forward and yanked her grandmother\u2019s handmade     afghan from the bed, curtaining herself. Meeting his gaze, she squared her     shoulders. \u201cObviously you know who I am. So who the hell are you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He chuckled and rounded the corner of the bed,     approaching her. She took a step back, her effort to escape thwarted by the     wall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry,\u201d he said, his voice a low,     lazy drawl. \u201cI\u2019m Trey Jacobs. I live next door.\u201d He extended his     hand.<\/p>\n<p>Anna eyed him for a long pause before tucking the corner     of the afghan under her arm and hesitantly accepting his gesture. \u201cAnna     Reed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He narrowed his eyes slightly, tilting his head to the     side. \u201cYour mama calls you Annabelle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, well,\u201d she pulled her hand from his warm,     calloused grasp and wrapped her arms around her torso, \u201cI prefer Anna.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll right.\u201d He moved toward her again and she took a     clumsy step to the side and backed into the window, the blinds clattering     against the glass. Anna heard a drawer in the bedside table slide open then     the scraping sound of a match. A large pillar candle illuminated their     corner of the room in a soft glow.<\/p>\n<p>He turned to face her and she was met with her first     full glimpse of Trey Jacobs. He stood before her in black boxer briefs, one     hand resting lightly on his hip. His hair was mussed from sleep, falling in     long layers around his face and just brushing his shoulders. It appeared to     be a rich brown in the limited light and she could just make out dark     stubble on his square jaw. Anna\u2019s attention drifted to his chest, to the     hard planes of muscle concealed beneath skin that looked as smooth and soft     as suede.<\/p>\n<p>He cleared his throat and her gaze darted back to his.     He smiled liked the Cheshire cat, his eyes dancing in amusement. Anna     snapped her mouth shut, which had apparently fallen open during her unabashed     perusal of her mother\u2019s neighbor. \u201cUm, the hospital staff said a neighbor     had been with my mom. Was that you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He nodded and sat on the edge of the bed, gesturing for     her to join him. She glanced at his wide expanse of skin and the brief     stretch of black fabric before focusing her attention on the painting over     his right shoulder. \u201cDo you want to get dressed or something?\u201d she     stammered.<\/p>\n<p>A throaty laugh suffused her cheeks with heat. What in     the hell was her problem? She was put under fire on a daily basis back home     in New York. If it wasn\u2019t opposing counsel or a squirrely witness, it was     her demanding boss hovering over her as she attempted to scrape and claw     her way to a partnership. Trey was only a man. She looked down at him, at     the corners of his eyes crinkled in amusement, his full lips, the way he     ran long fingers into his hair to brush it from his forehead.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, he was just a man. And the Grand Canyon was just a     crack.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-5913\" data-postid=\"5913\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-5913 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, please welcome Kendall Grace to the blog!
