Wild Women Authors is pleased to welcome back Sadira Stone, a frequent contributor, with Caught Up in Capricorn: 

When a confident, control-freak Capricorn is forced to partner with a prickly, seductive Scorpio, their business and their hearts will never be the same.

After his head brewer quits, brew pub owner Ryan must learn to get along with snarky, sexy brewer Lilo, whose weird, niche beers are the last thing Salty Dog Brewery needs.

Working side by side ignites long-simmering desire, but a high-stakes beer competition triggers a fierce battle of wills. Can their love and the brewery survive?


Sadira brought along an excerpt:

        Lilo leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms. “You’re pretty transparent with your phony smile and your bedroom eyes. You and I are stuck together professionally. Let’s make the best of it and not muddy the waters with flirtation.”

        “There’s that Scorpio sting Gemma warned me about.”

        “Gemma warned you about me?” Judging by Lilo’s sour expression, Gemma was due for a talking to.

        “She and Jesse stopped by yesterday. She says Scorpios are like coconuts. Hard, scratchy exterior, soft and juicy interior. According to her, Capricorn and Scorpio have a lot in common. She says, with my practicality and your intuition, we’d make a great team.”

        Lilo’s eyes narrowed. “Just what kind of team do you have in mind?”

        “I’m talking about work, of course. Although—” He stroked his chin, weighing his chances. “I wouldn’t object to getting to know you better. You know, on a personal level.”

        Her eyebrows rose, then scrunched. She licked her lips, then clamped them tight. What the hell was going on in that hard head of hers? 

        Finally, she set down her fork and folded her hands on the table. “I’m gonna be straight with you, Ryan. I’m attracted to you.”

        Yesss! “Is that so?”

        “But I’m not the casual hookup type. I have to at least like a guy before getting intimate. And I’m not sure I like you.”

        His jaw fell. “What the hell did I do?”

        She gave a slow, feline blink. “Besides being a schmoozer who doesn’t have faith in my skills as a brewer?”

        “I never said—"

        “Your actions say otherwise, always watching me to make sure I don’t screw up.”

        “Did it ever occur to you I just like looking at you?”
