Finally, kisses from the billionaire's point of view... Jack Saunders wanted one last hurrah before taking the mantle of DS Oil & Gas, the billion-dollar company that his father founded. His friend, Owen, let him borrow his mansion on a tropical island so that he could throw a final party before "marrying" the business that would dominate the rest of his life. He brought his secretary, Brandy, hoping that he could kindle a relationship that would last through the long days and nights of running a company. However, while the party was great, the gold digging woman he brought was not, and Jack resigned himself to a lifetime of loneliness. That was until he took a walk down the beach and met her. A woman who didn't recognize him from the tabloids and only saw him, the man behind the money. Of all the women Jack had ever met, there was nobody like Emma LaRue. With one pretend marriage ceremony, she would change his life forever, and become the only one he ever wanted to give his saltwater kisses to. This novella is the first half of Saltwater Kisses written from Jack's point-of-view, with a few bonus scenes thrown in as well. It contains the first half of Saltwater Kisses as a sample and also throws in the cast of all the Kisses books in an ensemble that is sure to make any of Krista Lakes' fans happy! --- Emma pushed open her door and nearly stepped inside before he caught her. “What do you think you're doing?” Jack asked, his eyes twinkling. Despite running along the beach, he wasn't out of breath from running. He was out of breath controlling himself with Emma. It had taken every ounce of willpower he processed to get her back to the hotel room. The only reason he had managed to wait was that it was technically their wedding. He was looking forward to this part. “Opening the door?” Emma cocked her head to the side, confused. She had sprinted just as hard to get back here. With a fluid motion, Jack scooped her up in his arms. She giggled as she realized what he was doing, wrapping her arms around his neck and holding him close. She pressed her nose into his throat and inhaled, taking in the scent of him. It made his heart race with primal need. He carried her to the bedroom, setting her down gently on the floor. She held onto him for an extra moment, as if she were soaking him into her skin. When she looked up at him, her long lashes fluttering over sea-green eyes, his heart melted into a puddle on the floor. She stepped back and in a one smooth motion raised the hem of her sundress up and over her head. All she had on was a pair of tiny white panties. Jack's breath caught and all the need he had been keeping tamped down came roaring to life...

I have watched and followed religion all my life and a summary will never happen it seems. My efforts have both opened and closed doors in light and darkness and fortunately the light never goes away. Once a lesson or point is understood it serves as a beacon during the worst times. When I decided to accept Gods words as truth and tried living them, His commandments became easier and troubles are now few and understood. The doctrines of men that Jesus Christ refused stand in the way of our getting to know God on a more personalized experience. God created men and awe with reverence is expected but what we have are just various forms of religion. Most fade away as time passes. Jesus was taught from the Torah. The laws and the prophets was his mainstay but he declared a change had to take place. Many modern religions no longer accept what is known as the old Testament while the new Testament plainly states that "All scripture is inspired by God and beneficial". It is the work of men that demands decision about religion. Its the reason I love the idea of tolerance. It is necessary to make way for tearing down walls that divide us and at the same time it urges us not to be misled by false prophets and teachings. I went through turmoil and stress while writing this book as spirits both of light and the dark bared reasons and insight. True students of bible may find themselves listening while people who just listen may get offended. In all our dealings with God and men, there are differences due to upbringing and cognitive natures. Most of what we know and understand has been handed down and accepted without question or search. This book offers a reminder that we should examine what we are told closely, since pure worship is needed if everlasting life is the goal. Upon finding out what is truth or not, it is our duty as people to find the acceptable way that constitutes pure worship. They can't all be right with God and he does hold us responsible, plus we will be held accountable. Like the laws of the lands, ignorance has no place. Its a fact. God does have rules. Gods Holy Spirit decides what is revealed, gained, or destroyed throughout all the times of our experience and existence. Minds can be opened and closed, depending on his purposes. He may use any of his creations as he chooses to complete any task or goal. I prayed and asked him to let me serve him. It has not stopped. You may be surprised if you knew the changes that I have been through since I started working. Life's problems do not go away but they are much easier to understand and manage because answers and solutions are normally used to conquer in the physical world and space we occupy. Nothing happens right or wrong without us making steps in those directions while taking Gods warnings and words seriously. Isaiah 45:7 tells us this. The spiritual sense and form we hope for has made confusion a master of men. Jesus is the closest example for Christians and all the other religions of the world have their own. Righteousness, I think, is what God looks for in a person. You should know that obedience leads the way to it. Thank you for reading.
