When we write our books, we never really plot and we don’t write to deadlines either. Mainly because we don’t like to feel constrained and we also tend view our stories as an ever changing work in progress. But, because we tend to wing it and totally fly by the seat of our pants with every book we write, we sometimes have to re-write or adjust sections. A classic example of this are books 2 and 3 in the Rockport Beach series.

After we finished writing Coming Home to You, we stupidly took a 5 year break. This was despite having written all of Finding Home with You and half of Making Home with You. Needless to say after a drunken vacation together, we decided to pull our finger out and get back to writing. And by writing, we actually meant re-writing these two books.

Why? Well many reasons actually, but largely because they were a bit out of control. I mean, yes this series is porn with a plot (a romantic suspense plot no less!), but even we may have overdone it with the porn part… Anyway, in case you were wondering how these books used to look, we are happy to share with you a couple of deleted/re-written scenes! We’ll also add bonus content from other books from time to time, but we tend to get these mostly right the first time round now.

Ok, sit back, grab yourself a glass of wine and get ready to enjoy…but be warned, some of this is some SERIOUSLY STEAMY HOT STUFF…like we’re talking “it’s getting hot in here, let’s take off all our clothes”…which also happens, a lot.

Happy reading 🙂
