Today we are spotlighting her latest book, BeJeweled: The Flight of an Angel. I haven't read this one yet, but if it is anything like her last book, Is the Grass Really Greener? I know it's going to be awesome!
She is sharing an excerpt with us today so let's get started!
Excerpt:
“That’s what’s so special about you. Somehow you always see the best in everyone and you find a way to pull it out. Everyone doesn’t have that gift, Ivy.” Raymond lowered his lips to kiss hers.
She smiled as she danced in his arms enjoying the feel of his soft cool lips against her warm ones. As Olivia continued to sway in his arms she slightly parted her lips, allowing his tongue to enter her mouth. The warm rush flowing through her veins, and the slightly heady sense she experienced at the feel of his hands rubbing her back up and down was intoxicating.
Raymond’s mouth pulled away from hers and kissed the lower angle of her jawline. He squeezed her waist between his hands and then pulled away from her.
“What the hell am I gonna do with you, Ivy?” Raymond asked in frustration, walking away rubbing his hands over his low cut hair.
“Maybe I should go now.” Olivia walked to the living room table and picked up her keys and purse.
“Look, come on. I’m sorry. We’ve had a great evening. I don’t want it to end like this.”
“Well what am I supposed to do Ray? I told you where I stood before we decided to move forward in this relationship and you said you understood. You said you supported me. If you can’t do this, I completely understand and respect your decision. But I’m not going to play games. You know where I stand.”
“You’re right, I do know where you stand. But for how long?” Raymond was standing with his back against the wall, arms crossed over his chest, looking absolutely miserable. Olivia wished she could make things better for him, but this was where they both had to make their decisions.
“You know how long.”
“No, I don’t, Ivy. The only thing you said was that you made the decision to be celibate. You never said for how long.”
“And you didn’t question it, Ray. You simply told me, and I quote, ‘The only thing I was sure of after the divorce, was that I wanted to re-connect with you. You’re the one thing I am certain about, and if that
means I have to be celibate, too, then I support you. I just want you in my life, Ivy.’ Was that not what you told me, word for word?” Olivia asked with her keys in her hands and her purse clenched tightly underneath her arm.
“Yes it was.”
“So you’re backing out now?” Olivia could feel her heart sinking and her dreams walking out the door. But she knew he hadn’t made her any promises and she could understand if he chose not to stay around in that capacity in her life. She respected whatever decision he made.
“How long, Ivy?” he repeated.
“Until I’m married. And I know where you stand on that. You made yourself pretty clear.”

About the Author:
An avid reader since her primary years, Chelle Ramsey
saw books as an escape mechanism. Excited by the worlds, and characters that
could be created with a touch of the imagination, she began writing her own
stories at the age of 12. The more enamored with storytelling she became, the
more she wanted to create stories about the suffering, and hardships she saw others
enduring, with one twist…her characters would rise above their adversities and
limitations, but not always with traditional endings.
This busy wife, and mother of three, exchanged her
Girl Scout Leader pins for her creative writing pen, as she began to focus on
publishing her novels. In her spare time, when she isn’t writing, she enjoys
reading mystery novels, watching the NBA, remodeling their home with her
husband, and spending time with him and their children. Having an MBA in Human
Resource Management, she says she cannot wait for the day when writing becomes
her full-time career. “If I can show my readers they are not alone, in dealing
with their challenges, and that they can rise above their limitations, I have
achieved my goal,” Ramsey says.
