Business as Usual (Off The Subject)

“Thank you for being patient with me,” she whispers.
“How can you even say that?” I ask. “Patience? We’re experimenting with other positions. Do you know how many guys would kill to be in my shoes?”
She rolls to her side so we’re chest to chest, staring into each other’s eyes. “You’re the only one I want.”
“That’s good to know. Because you’re stuck with me, Alexa.”
She gives me a soft kiss. “I’m counting on it.”

Acknowledgments
Thank you to my assistant Heather Pennington, who helps me somewhat organized. Thank you to my awesome beta readers: Rhonda Cowsert, Anne Childon, Becky Podjenski and Stormy Udell.
BUSINESS AS USUAL wouldn’t be what it is now without the invaluable input from my wonderful editor Angela Polidoro. Thanks to Cynthia L. Moyer and Paola Bell for your proofreading expertise.
And always, thank you to my readers. You read my books and like them then tell your friends. Because of you, I’m doing what I love: writing the stories the pop into my head.
About the Author
Denise Grover Swank was born in Kansas City, Missouri and lived in the area until she was nineteen. Then she became a nomadic gypsy, living in five cities, four states and ten houses over the course of ten years before she moved back to her roots. She speaks English and smattering of Spanish and Chinese which she learned through an intensive Nick Jr. immersion period. Her hobbies include witty Facebook comments (in own her mind) and dancing in her kitchen with her children. (Quite badly if you believe her offspring.) Hidden talents include the gift of justification and the ability to drink massive amounts of caffeine and still fall asleep within two minutes. Her lack of the sense of smell allows her to perform many unspeakable tasks. She has six children and hasn’t lost her sanity. Or so she leads you to believe.
