Excerpt
Two:
One deep breath later, she squared her shoulders and sent up
a silent prayer that James was still in the front hall waiting for her so she
could make a grand entrance. The more she put herself in front of him the less
likely he’d be able to turn away.
Oh yeah, when she rounded the corner on the stairway
landing, James was there and he certainly wasn’t looking away.
Not even a blink over his rapidly descending scowl. Which
told her one thing.
She’d nailed the outfit.

James waited until Mickey stopped on the bottom step. They
were almost eye-to-eye between the boots she was wearing and the additional
inches afforded by the stair riser. “Did I misread the invitation?” He let his
gaze flicker down to her snugly fit bustier. “Are costumes required?”
“Nope, just for me. Don’t you like it? The kids are going to
love it.”
No he did not like it. And as for the kids? “Is this an
all-boys hospital?”
She made a face that said he was being a jerk, and then
tilted her head as though assessing him. “Why would you ask that? Because
Wonder Woman is a babe?” She straightened her head and glared at him.
“Superheroes are not to be sexually coveted.”
He crossed his arms over his chest and glared right back.
“Says who?”
“Says every mother and father ever.”
That made him grin. “Oh. I suppose you went to Comic-Con and
took a survey when those mother and fathers were drinking their costume-coiffed
faces off, before they sexually coveted each other in their hotel rooms at the
end of the evening?”

Writing books

A few of Riley’s favorite reviewer quotes:
If you love intellectual mind candy, read Ms. Murphy’s work!
Creative, profound and soul searing scenes abound...
One wonders if Ms. Riley is in the sex therapy and marriage counseling
business as a day job. The D/s part of this story is Fabulous.
If Riley wasn’t an author she’d be an international spy with
top-level security so she could have a peek at Area 51 and decide for herself
if those green guys are for real. Failing that, she’d likely go with chicken
sexer.
