BLURB:

Nerissa Stockholme fell for Clint Song Shale fifteen years ago, her first and only true love. Now a successful photojournalist, Nerissa was on assignment at a New Mexico wild horse refuge when she captured photographs that will thrust her back into Clint’s life. And perhaps explain why his family separated them all those years ago, destroying their relationship. Nerissa has only twenty-four hours to learn the truth about Clint and discover whether they can rekindle their old flame.

Nerissa was an addiction Clint never recovered from. Now the very thing that tore them apart years ago has brought them back together. Nerissa’s next assignment is taking her halfway around the world, but Clint can’t let her disappear once again with his heart. Or explosive photos that reveal too much.

Reviews

“Revealing Photos was a great book.  It was short but sweet and satisfying.  The characters where loveable and the plight of Nerissa was fun to read about.  I enjoyed rooting her on and watching the spark between these two interesting people reignite.  Mary Winter has penned a short story that is interesting, entertaining, and touching.  I recommend it to anyone looking for a fast, fun book that will put a smile on your face. ”
- Tara Gibbs, Two Lips Reviews

“Revealing Photos by Mary Winter is a wonderful tale of love lost and found.  The connection between Nerissa and Clint is very strong.  I loved watching the fires of love rekindle between them.  And the descriptions of Clint’s shifting are very believable and well told.  Revealing Photos has found a place on my keeper shelf.”
- Amelia, Joyfully Reviewed

Autumn Animalia: Revealing Photos is a too-hot-to-touch erotic quickie with a very unique twist. I’ve not read many shapeshifter romances with this type of animal. Mary Winter aptly and interestingly portrayed the very nature of her chosen species, and this reviewer was drawn in to the emotion and passion that pervades this tale. Revealing Photos is packed with imagery and bursting with some very erotic scenes. With a fine attention to detail and an excellent, taut romantic plot, Revealing Photos is a story you’ll love from the minute you begin it. Five Angels!

Excerpt

The lie rolled off her lips with ease. She hoped. She hated herself for it, didn’t want to lie. But she could hardly whip out the photographs and expect him to explain them to a woman he hadn’t seen in years. Especially when she suspected the very reason his family had moved so abruptly was to keep Clint’s secret safe.

Clint studied her for a moment. “I have no doubt your sister’s ranch would benefit from one of my paintings, Nerissa, but we both know you can’t lie. You forget, I taught you how to play poker.”

Oh, she hadn’t forgotten the hot nights when the cards were tossed aside in exchange for the pleasure of exploring their budding sexuality and each other.

“Besides, you could have called and asked for a painting. I get several similar calls a week, though usually they ask for a print or something smaller than an original. And you’re a well-known photographer. I’m sure your pictures would fetch just as much money, if not more, for your sister’s ranch. So tell me, why are you really here?” Clint reached over, placed his hand on her knee and smiled. “A man can hope it’s for a reunion.”

She latched on to the excuse like a life preserver. “Yeah. I just returned from South America and caught a glimpse of your painting at the Albuquerque airport. When I realized you were so close, well…I couldn’t let the opportunity pass me by.” She glanced blatantly down to the fly of his jeans before turning her attention back to his face. “So, are you happy to see me?” If what she’d seen below the waist was any indication, he was very happy to see her.

“Yeah,” he said. “I am.” Leaning forward, Clint brushed his lips across hers. The gentle contact immediately rekindled the torch she’d once carried for him, if it ever went out. She swayed against him, her hand splayed against his bare chest. Her lips parted and she kissed him back, her eyelids fluttering closed.

His hand slid to the back of her neck, holding her there while he slid his tongue into her mouth. Stroke and retreat. Stroke and retreat. He sucked on her lower lip, drawing it into his mouth.

Nerissa moaned. Her fingers moved against his chest, kneading, feeling the taut muscles beneath his skin.

Clint pressed her back against the arm of the couch, his strong body stretched out above hers. His denim-covered erection pressed exactly where she needed it, against her hot pussy. Nerissa lifted her hips and rubbed against him, causing a moan to rumble from deep within his chest. A moment to breathe, and then he claimed her lips once more.

Clint plundered her mouth. His tongue swept inside, teasing hers, stroking, mimicking a deeper, more fulfilling penetration. Her pussy clenched, the thick ridge pressing against it not nearly enough. Caressing his back, she tangled the fingers of one hand into his hair, her other hand following his spine to his tight ass. She grabbed it, her fingers kneading and releasing like a cat’s paws.

Rearing up enough to slide his hands between them, he deftly pulled her shirt from her jeans and shoved it up. The front clasp of her bra gave way, and immediately he cupped her breasts in his large, calloused hands. Fingers flicked over her nipples, bringing them to painful peaks. His lips pulled away from hers to press open-mouthed kisses against her jaw, her neck.

“God, Nerissa. Do you know how long I’ve wanted this?” Clint’s husky admission sent shivers down her spine.
