Page Brief ~ More to Love

Welcome to 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition!!!!! *I might be a little excited and hyper. ROFLAMO*

This is a Page Brief that’s new and never posted anywhere else. Yep new and never posted anywhere else. It’s being posted for the first time as part of the 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition!

Join me daily here on the blog for next Page Brief. There’s also something special for the last day of August 2026 as a wrap up for the 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition. 🙂

*holding up a glass of champagne* Wheeee…onto today’s 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition Page Brief!!!

Today’s Page Brief features characters from Reunion Favor, Rowan, Book #15. Enjoy!

From time to time there’s multi-part Page Brief’s that go together. I think of it as a Page Brief Serial and I name them. The below Page Brief Serial Chosen by You features the books at the time I wrote these Page Brief’s that were available in my Rowan series. Eventually when books are released in the Rowan series an Page Brief might be written and if it is it will be added to the Chosen by You Page Brief Serial. So this Page Brief Serial is a continuous one (at my discretion/time permits).

Chosen by You is a multi-part Page Brief Serial and best read in order for the most enjoyment. They are usually in order of the Rowan series for which they are written about (unless otherwise noted).

This might be a rough draft so excuse any typos and so on.

A Rowan Page Brief

Page Brief Serial: Chosen by You, Part 8

Chase stood in the dark and quietly waited. When he heard the door creak he narrowed his eyes. He still didn’t move as he waited for them to enter and sneakily move across the room. Although it was dark there was still enough light for him to see from his hidden place their movements. When they snagged the three items they did a little jig before heading for the door.

“Caught you.” He yelled.

“Dammit!” Paige screamed and placed her hand over her heart. “Are you trying to kill me? Chase, what are you doing hiding here in the dark?”

“Catching a sneak.” Chase flicked the light switch that was close to him. “No of course I haven’t been taking your chocolate.”

“I wouldn’t have to sneak and get some if someone would share.” Paige looked defiant. “You would think since we love each other. And share so much. Sharing some chocolate wouldn’t be such a big deal.” Paige took a bite of the chocolate she held staring him in the eye.

“It isn’t a big deal.” Chase came forward and put his hands on his hips. “The big deal is when I asked about the chocolate getting low. You pointedly claimed you hadn’t been eating any. That’s what made me suspicious that you were.” He shook his head. “I don’t have a problem sharing the chocolate with you.”

“You don’t.” Paige narrowed her eyes. “When you asked me about it you sounded so accusatory. I took that as you didn’t want to share.”

“You assumed.” Chase snorted. “Okay I will admit I was a little peeved you’d taken it. But you don’t have to sneak to take it. You’re free to take chocolate anytime. Although you claim you prefer caramel.”

“But… it tastes better when I sneak it.” Paige admitted.

“Like when I sneak taking some from your caramel.” Chase laughed. “It does taste better when it’s sneakily taken.”

“Ohhh… So it is you. I know it was looking low and wondered. I didn’t say anything but I did wonder.” Paige pointed her fingers at him.

“So we both have a sneaking thing.” Chase chuckled. “I keep discovering these things about you.”

“And I about you. That’s the fun of being in love. It’s more to love. Finding out things about each other.” Paige hugged him. “So… I’m going to keep sneaking your chocolate.”

“I’m going to keep sneaking your caramel.” Chase stated as he hugged her in return. “Hey maybe we can sneak from someone else.”

“Yeah. There’s come yummy treats people have. ” Paige nodded. “Let’s plan. Chocolate.” She offered a piece of her sneaky chocolate.

“You know whenever I see that look it brings back such fond memories.” Rueben strode into the room.

“What look?” Devlin watched him suspiciously.

“Like you’re about to rain fire and brimstone down on someone. And they aren’t gonna know what hit them.” He paused and stared at her lips. “I like that look by the way.”

“Which you told me the first time we met.” Devlin rolled her eyes. “And like then you have a look in your eyes too.” She stared at him.

“What look?”

“Like you’re about to get into some mischief,” She paused. “I don’t have time for that.”

“Mischief does a body good,” he paused then said softly, “Really good.”

“Same thing you told me when we first met.” Devlin chuckled. “I’m not going to get pulled into whatever mischief you are planning. I’m enfolded in my favorite blanket while drinking a good shot of bourbon.” She lifted her glass. “I’m enjoying the sensation of warmth followed by a burn. So I’m not going anywhere.”

“No need to go anywhere. I know how much of a sucker you are for comfort.” Reuben came closer. “Is there potentially a place for me with you under that blanket?”

“Maybe.” Devlin teased.

She held up the blanket. He settled under it with her. Reuben settled beside her and sighed.

“This is nice.” Reuben grabbed the remote from next to her.

“Wait I’m watching that.” Devlin narrowed her eyes. “You’re making me rethink my sharing my blanket with you.”

“You can watch this anytime.” He kissed her on the cheek. “You’re going to like this.”

He set up what he was looking for then sat back and waited.

“White Palace.” Devlin snuggled into him and kissed him on the chin. “You know what makes me happy. One of my favorite movies and snuggling with you.”

“I do.” He kissed her on her forehead. “Although I’m curious about what made you have the look in your eyes when I came in. I’m going to leave it alone for now.”

“Yeah. Let me unwind and I’ll fill you in later.” Devlin leaned into him.

“Unwinding unlocked.” Reuben smiled.

Chailyn slowly opened the door and looked. When she saw the room was empty she breathed out in relief and scurried inside. Cautiously she closed the door making sure it made no sound. She tiptoed deeper into the room leaving the lights off. The sunshine coming in the patio door and windows gave enough for her to see. She sat on the couch and breathed out.

“Why are you being so sneaky?”

She shivered at the whispered question from that familiar deep sensual baritone voice. Chailyn looked from where he had spoken. She hadn’t seen him where he was sitting. He stared at her with those intense light gray eyes. He lowered his curly lashes shielding his eyes from view briefly. A slight smile curled his full lips that looked so very soft. His red hair surrounded a face that should be deemed dangerous to the libido.

“What are you doing here?” She countered.

“Probably doing the same thing as you. Hiding.” Payne shrugged. “I happen to get here first.”

“I needed a break.” Chailyn sighed. “Great minds think alike.”

“Exactly.” Payne lifted an eyebrow. “So are you coming to join me? Or did you want to be hidden all by yourself over there on the couch?”

Chailyn rose and walked over to join him. He tugged her down so she sat on his lap in the arm chair that was adjacent to the patio doors. Chailyn sighed as he cuddled her. She kissed his chiseled cheek.

“This is what I needed and didn’t know it.” She sighed.

“It was.” He hugged her. “Hidden with you is so much better.”

“It is.” Chailyn cupped his face. “It’s always awesome when we do things together. Even if it’s hiding.”

They laughed.

Caught off guard by his close friend who still believes in love and he’s afraid to…will he be willing to accept what she’s offering is worth every risk.

Calhoun Landers is attracted to Cassandra Kincaid – his close friend – yet he refuses to act upon it. Unwittingly he hurts her with his reaction to her Christmas gift and she leaves before he could explain. With his friend at Christmas he opens her gift and realizes what a fool he has been.

When Calhoun doesn’t react to her overture she realizes she has to learn to be just his friend. At the New Year’s Party thrown by one of her sister’s Mom, Cass is too upset to stay. At least until the first strains of a sax and a familiar melody makes her hope what they could have is worth every risk.

“They are just screwing with me.” Sinclair glared with her hands on her hips.

“Why are you being mean to the wall? What has the wall ever done to you?” Baldwin teased from behind her.

“Mister MD.” Sinclair turned to face him.

As usual when she saw him her heart started to race, palms itched to grab him and pull him close. The man made her want in the best of ways. Even when she was as irritated as she was now.

“I know that look on your face.” Baldwin came towards her. “Who’s messing with you? Who do I need to have a stern talking to?”

“I know you’re teasing me but I don’t care.” Sinclair gestured to the wall behind her. “They said pick one you like. They are all white.”

“This is sounding eerily familiar.” Baldwin stood beside her and slid his arm around her waist. “This is déjà from how we met.”

“I didn’t know at the time that meeting you would change my life for the better.” Sinclair smiled.

“You’re trying to butter me up instead of demanding I help. Like you did that day in the hardware store.” Baldwin squeezed her gently. “But since I’m all in with you I’m going to help you.”

Sinclair sagged relieved. “They are screwing with me like they did that day.”

“No one should send you to a hardware store unsupervised. Especially to pick out paint.” Baldwin squeezed her again then turned and walked away.

“Exactly. Hey you said you’d be helping me. Where are you going?” Sinclair stared after him.

“Pick a white one.” Baldwin snickered.

He paused in the doorway and looked over his shoulder.

“Ohhhh…you set this up.” She accused and shook her fist at him. “Why would you want to mess with me like this?”

“You get a vein that pops just right there in your forehead.” Baldwin pointed. “And you’re sexy when you’re annoyed. Makes me a hot.”

“Even through I’m annoyed at you for this paint torture. I somehow still like you. But if you do it again that can change.” Sinclair warned.

“You love me.” Baldwin sing-songed. “And that’s not going to change. The forever rule.”

“What the heck is that?” Sinclair walked towards him.

“You kissed, licked, so many things and made me yours. Now I’m yours forever.”

Baldwin smirked. “The forever rule is in effect.”

“I like that. So since you kissed, licked, so many things and made me yours. That means I’m also yours forever.“ She hugged him. “That means when people try to make me go to a hardware store or chose paint when they all look alike. You’re going to be the one who does it.”

“That’s not what I meant. I’m afraid of dealing with your family when it comes to fixing things up. They get kinda intense.” Baldwin protested.

“The forever rule.” Sinclair snickered. “I’m so liking the rule and will use it to my advantage often.”

“I’m rethinking this rule.”

“Too late.” Sinclair laughed and walked out the door.

Kelsey turned and slipped. She could tell she was about to go down. Since it was a regular occurrence, she made sure not to try to grab anything so there were no catastrophes.

“This is gonna hurt.”

Sometimes it was best just to let it happen. She was grabbed and yanked up against a familiar broad chest. Kelsey gasped then lifted her head slightly and met familiar light green eyes. She stifled the sigh.

“As graceful as ever I see.” Dexter teased. “And I’ll always catch you if I’m around and close enough. I don’t want you to hurt any part of your delectable body.”

“You sweet talker you.” Kelsey chuckled and cupped his cheek. “I love a man who’s quick on his feet. Especially when he can help with my clumsiness.”

“And I love you and all your clumsiness. It gives me an excuse to hold you in my arms.” Dexter nuzzled her hand.

“You don’t need an excuse for that.” Kelsey rubbed her fingers along his lips. “Feel free to hold me anytime. Anytime at all. Kiss me to. And so much more.”

Dexter chuckled, a wicked sound that made heat fill her belly.

“The things you make me feel.” Kelsey tightened her hold on him. “You’re an unmistakable temptation.”

Dexter chuckled again. She tugged him closer and kissed him.

From time to time there’s multi-part Page Brief’s that go together. I think of it as a Page Brief Serial and I name them. The below Page Brief Serial Irresistible Effect features the books at the time I wrote these Page Brief’s that were available in my Zander Oaks series. Eventually when books are released in the Zander Oaks series an Page Brief might be written and if it is it will be added to the Irresistible Effect Page Brief Serial. So this Page Brief Serial is a continuous one (at my discretion/time permits).

Irresistible Effect is a multi-part Page Brief Serial and best read in order for the most enjoyment. They are usually in order of the Zander Oaks series for which they are written about (unless otherwise noted).

This might be a rough draft so excuse any typos and so on.

“What are you doing in here? I thought we were meeting in the living room.” Zachary spoke from the kitchen doorway.

“Go ahead.” She shooed him away. “I’ll be there in a moment.”

Zachary retreated. Tyler continued what she was doing. Soon she held the cups and headed to join him. She paused in the doorway. Zachary glanced at her and smiled. Tyler walked over and set the mugs on the center table before sitting beside him. She loved when he leaned in and kissed her gently.

“Tea love.” Zachary said. “How’d you know that’s what I wanted?”

“Might have been the various new teas you bought home the other day.” Tyler laughed. “I swear you’ve become a worst tea hoarder than me. It’s like a treasure hunt for tea. One I love and enjoy.”

“I’m learning from the best.” Zachary nodded. “And I have some more I have my eye on here in Zander Oaks at that place we love to go to. Also in a few other cities from the online stores they have. I might have mentioned my needing some tea love to others. So I’ve been getting a lot of suggestions.”

“I’ve created a Tea Monster.” Tyler rubbed her hand along his arm.

“Yep and proud of it.” Zachary said smugly. “Being with you has opened many things for me. Like oatmeal, bread, sewing, movies, games, books, music and so many other things.”

“Hmmm…someone should come up with a group or something for those things. That way people with those interests can exchange things about it. There could be suggestions, recipes, and so on. Like that anniversary one that is to one up each other thing.”

“Oh yeah…I need to check that out.” Zachary nodded. “And a group with that would be good. Heck I’m all in for tea love. Also any of the others.” He leaned forward and picked up the cups.

Tyler accepted her tea. Zachary tapped cups with her.

“Let’s see if you can figure out which tea is it.” Tyler smirked.

She also loved this part of their tea love. The first taste of a new tea. Hell even the taste of a favorite tea. To be honest she loved tea in general.

“Come back to me. Come back from the tea love memory lane.” Zachary said in a spooky voice.

“I was lost there for a minute.” Tyler said sheepishly. “Or more. But it was fabulous. Let’s get to our tea love.”

“Tea love.” Zachary echoed.

They sipped the tea and both moaned. Tyler leaned against him enjoying being with him and their tea love.

Atkins passed the living room but stopped and backed up. Curious he looked at her but she didn’t even notice him.

“What has you frowning?” He asked as he went towards her.

“I swear my sister.” Her brows furrowed. “Makes me so confused.”

“That’s nothing new.” Atkins shrugged. “What did she do now? Is she still talking about the codeword for sex? Trying to make people uncomfortable by talking about it.” He laughed. “Although it’s funny as hell.”

“You and she are so alike. You like making people squirm.” Sawyer poked him in the shoulder.

“Yes I do.” He grabbed her finger and kissed it gently. “so tell me what mischief has your sister gotten into now?”

“Bread.”

He blinked then shook his head. “I’m going to need more than that.”

“She now seems to be fascinated with it. Baking?” Sawyer shook her head. “Asher has never shown interest in that. I can only imagine baking and Asher would be a disaster. But she said Terrence was going to teach her. She also mentioned something about tart. I have no idea what that is.”

“Are you sure bread or baking isn’t a substitution for sex?” Atkins stared at her. “How could you not know what tart is?”

“No I thought it was about sex but she corrected me and said no.” Sawyer rubbed along the bridge of her nose. “My sister confuses me a lot. And why do you sound so disbelieving that I don’t know what tart is. I know it’s some kind of pastry or something but I’ve never heard of it.”

“It’s a thing from where our family is originally from.” Atkins shook his head. “This is on me. No it’s on the family and friends who know what it is for not having educated you on the joys of it.”

“You said a whole lot of words but none of it made sense.” Sawyer rolled her eyes. “My sister already confuses me enough. I don’t need you to do it too. At least not in this case.”

“It will become clear soon.” Atkins mind started to race and he smiled. “I’m going to share with you a scrumptious conundrum.”

Sawyer’s expression and eyes changed. He could tell he had hooked her with his words. Now that he had her intrigued he was going to have fun.

“We’re going to go on a fun adventure together.” Atkins rubbed his hands together. “And you get to this time maybe confuse or outmaneuver your sister.”

“Tell me more.” Sawyer leaned forward.

Atkins knew that would’ve gotten her attention even more. Although they liked to deny it the sisters were competitive in their own way. It was intriguing to watch them. In this case Atkins was going to enjoy this scrumptious conundrum.

A Rowan Page Brief

Ryson heard something and followed it. He stopped in the doorway of his music room listening to a clarinet being expertly played. Surprised he stared at the woman who had won his heart. Khandi was oblivious to him standing there. She was caught up in playing the clarinet. Ryson swayed as he listened to her playing one of his songs. Khandi looked up and her eyes widened. She stopped playing and lowered the instrument.

“I didn’t know you were there.” Khandi smiled sheepishly. “Sorry I noticed this new clarinet you had. And I couldn’t resist trying it out.”

“No. No need to apologize.” Ryson walked towards her. “I didn’t realize you could play the clarinet.”

“I played from time I was a kid. Also while in college. I was even part of the band.” Khandi chuckled.

“Really!” Ryson reached her and stopped. “How did I not know this?”

“I have many layers you don’t know about me.” Khandi said playfully.

“There are so many things I still have to learn about you.” Ryson smiled at her.

“And I about you.” Khandi went to put down the instrument.

“No. Let’s do something together.” Ryson suggested.

He saw the reluctance on her face.

“Come on and join me in the beauty of sound. Don’t tell me you’re intimidated to do something with me.” Ryson stifled his smirk.

He knew her well enough to know what her reaction to that statement would be.

Khandi’s eyes darkened and her nostrils flared.

He pushed a little bit more. “Just because I’m considered a musical genius you don’t have a need to be intimidated.”

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing. All this talk about musical genius isn’t you. Although that’s what you are.” Khandi lifted an eyebrow. “Tweaking my need to prove you wrong is underhanded. Effective but underhanded.”

Ryson didn’t say a word. Since he had won he stared at her then started to sing. Khandi’s eyes darkened even more with the passion of her love for him.

“Of course you’re going to pick a love song.” Khandi lifted the clarinet to her lips.

She jumped in to the song matching him. Ryson stared at this fascinating woman who continued to surprise him. They had so much time together to learn about each other. And he was going to enjoy each and every moment. Continuing with now as they enjoyed the beauty of sound.
