As many of you know, I wrote a short story in the spring for Love in Bloom, an anthology published by the Romance Cafe to raise money for breast cancer research. After its nine-month run, Love in Bloom is no longer available, so I’ve published my story, The Iris, on its own.

I hope you enjoy it!

Jackson was once just the pottery teacher Amber drooled over, but now he’s invited her into his world. Will she take a chance on a new life, or will Jackson’s dark secret turn her dream into a nightmare?

This dark and sexy romance is set in Hogback, Suki McMinn’s fictional North Carolina town created for The Vampire of Waller County, but this short story is for adults only.
