Excerpt:
Getting to her feet, she brushed the dust from her black yoga pants, tugged at the bottom of her bright orange tunic, and flipped the light switch on. A soft glow of florescent lighting flooded the large room, soothing Summer’s nerves. Guess she would never be the same carefree individual she was before the incident. Oh, shake it off. You’re safe and it’s time to get on with life. “Come on Pip, let’s get this place open.”
A massive stone fireplace towered in the corner. She picked up an arm full of wood and flung it in the general direction. Logs landed in the fire pit and neatly arranged themselves in a tepee shape. With a magic flickof her finger toward the hearth, flames raced up the aspen logs. “That’s better.”
She raised her arms, about to send the yoga mats back to their proper place when the heavy wooden front door creaked open. Piper rushed toward the door, teethbared and a growl rumbled in her throat. Summer whirled around and yelped as Devlin ambled into the room, black hair tousled and glisteningwith melting snowflakes. His nonchalance at the dog’s approach surprised her as he slowed to a stop. Piper sniffed around him, backed up a few inches, then stood at alert in front of Devlin.
“You scared the bejeebers out of me.” Summer held her hand to her chest as her heart thundered.
“What are you doing here?”
“Call your guard dog off and I’ll tell you.” The corners of Devlin’s mouth curved up into a smile, a faint light twinkled in the depths of his dark eyes.
“Piper, leave it…come.” The dog gave Devlin a last sideways glance, trotted back to Summer and sat at her side.
“Beautiful chow and well trained too.”
“She is. Now, what can I do for you?”
“I found my schedule flexible this morning, so swung by to see if you could join me for a cup of coffee.We can discuss the special offer you extended.” Devlin’s smile turned seductive, causing her to blush and look away for a moment. She breathed in his woodsy scent, with just a hint of citrus. Unusual, but quite masculine and refreshing. She liked it.
“Can’t, I’m sorry. It's my turn to open the studio this morning. Could I get a rain check?” She held his gaze for a couple of beats then averted to the tangle of mats. Piper remained close to Summer’s side eying Devlin suspiciously. “You’re free to join any yoga class I’m teaching."
Devlin’s gaze darted from the fireplace to the mats strewn over the floor and settled on Summer. “Sure.— But I can do better.” He backed out and held the door open with his foot as he bent down. When the door banged shut, he stood inside with a large paper cup in each hand, a coffee house logo across the cups. “I thought you might say that.”

What’s your favorite part about being a romance author?
Writing feel good books. Whisking people away from their ordinary world into a romantic, fantasy adventure from which they may never want to return. Most of my characters are of the paranormal persuasion. I want to create a memorable love story with spice and adventure. Characters that will grab hold of your heart and hang on long after you’ve read the last word and closed the book with a satisfied sigh.
I was thrilled while reading a review on my last book. It read in part, “When the story was finished, I wanted to touch my kindle and disappear into the world Tena Stetler created.” This statement made my heart sing!
Here’s my tip to add romance to your love life:
Listen to your partner. Really listen. This is important, these days when your attention is divided on many things. Take the time. Also do something special for your partner just for fun when they least expect it. Schedule a date night into your busy life. You won’t regret it.
