WELCOME

The Lori Foster & Dianne Castell Reader Author Get Together was one of the best trips I went on this year.  Lena and Maggie flew in from California and stayed at my house.  We had a blast going to the “toy” store.  Since the Get Together was in Ohio, we drove the few hours from my house.  I met a lot of readers, including Natalie and Big P, Kelly, Nicole, Katie W. and Karen B.  I also got to meet some of my favorite authors, including Sarah McCarty and Lori Foster.  We hung out in the hotel lobby and had the best time.  This is definitely something I will want to do again next year.

On the other hand, I am done traveling for a while.  I need to start writing again.  I have lots of plans for future books, so it’s time to hook up the ball and chain (read personal computer) and get to work.

Melanie Parsons is a curator at the Smithsonian, specializing in nineteenth and twentieth century artifacts.  There have been a rash of robberies lately and Brady Torres, a member of United Americas Security has been called in to investigate. Melanie comes from a Traditionalist family, a fundamental group of individuals who want to return to the ideals of an earlier time, although she doesn’t believe in those ideals, especially when it comes to marriage. Surprisingly, she has two little secrets. She loves for a man to control her in the bedroom and the particular man she is longing to take that control is none other than Agent Brady Torres. The UAS believes Traditionalists are behind these robberies, although Brady is not sold on the idea and proposes they use a wedding dress from the 1800s as bait to capture the thieves. The dress, from Melanie’s own family, has been the one thing that keeps Brady believing he might have a chance with Melanie. He figures she wouldn’t keep the dress around if she didn’t secretly harbor a desire to find true love and marry for a lifetime. If Brady loses the dress to the robbers will he also lose any chance he has with Melanie?

Nicky Malloy is on the run--from guilt, fear, and a murder charge. After three years, the notorious bounty hunter Tyler Calhoun catches up with the elusive lady outlaw. The intensity of their dislike for each other is only matched by the growing passion they cannot seem to control.

A loner by nature, a cold hard hunter by choice, Tyler fights his feelings for his prisoner the only way he knows how--by denying them. He’s not prepared for how deeply his feelings will run, or how hard it will be to hold her life in his hands.

Pursued by two hapless cowboys bent on taking Nicky in themselves, Nicky and Tyler are forced to turn to each other for aid, trust, and comfort as their journey progresses on its rocky road. Caught in a web of lies and murder, they hold on to each other as they travel to Wyoming to confront the man that brought them together. Tyler has to decide if his love for her is worth more than the bounty he was sent to find.

Helen’s Release
Coming soon from Loose Id
© Liz Andrews and Lena Matthews 2006

“Kiss me.”

Helen stood blinking at him for a moment before she burst into laughter. This was not a good sign. “You can’t be serious. I’ve never initiated …” Helen’s hands flew to her cheeks, covering the blush creeping up her face. “I can’t believe I just told you that.”

Griffin pulled her toward him, holding her loosely in his embrace. “I’ll just close my eyes and you lean close and what’s the old phrase, ‘put your lips together and blow?’”

Helen gazed back at him before her face lit with a smile of pure seduction. “So close your eyes already.”

Griffin immediately closed his eyes and opened his other senses. He could feel Helen’s body, swaying softly in his arms. She stepped closer into their embrace and the faint hint of her perfume wafted toward him. He didn’t recognize the scent, but forever hereafter it would remind him of this moment.

Helen placed her hands on his shoulders and softly pressed her lips against his. Griffin struggled to remain perfectly still, when his body screamed at him to pull her close and deepen the kiss. Licking lightly at the seam of his lips, Helen coaxed him to open his mouth. She kissed him, her tongue gently exploring.

Previously tentatively clutching at his shoulder, her hands suddenly pulled him closer and wrapped around his neck. Tilting her head, Helen deepened the kiss, as if she could read the subtle hints he was sending her way. Although the kiss had his body primed for her, her gentle touches were driving him insane. She stroked the fine hairs at the back of his neck sending shivers down his spine.

The sudden cessation of the kiss caused Griffin to open his eyes, staring down into Helen’s passion filled gaze. “Oh my, that was …” Helen shook her head, looking slightly dazed.

“Intense, empowering, wonderful … I could go on and on with the adjectives all day.”

Helen shakily released her arms from around his neck and stepped back. Her gaze looked everywhere but at him as she gave a light laugh.

It was a sound so lyrical and beautiful, Griffin wanted tease her with kisses again, just so he could hear it. “So shy now, Helen?”

“Now, then, before, after, it’s all the same thing.”

“I don’t want you to be shy with me.” Griffin brushed his hand against the downy softness of her curly blonde hair. “I want you to be free with me.”

“Free to do what?”

“Whatever your little heart desires.”

“Whatever?” The teasing grin that spread across her pretty pink lips had Griffin’s cock rock hard. He’d give his kingdom, or the parts of Marc’s Kingdom’s he had access to, to know what was going on inside of her head.

“Consider me your personal pleasure genie. Anything you want, I’ll do. No questions asked.”

“Pleasure, huh?”

“You do remember what that is, don’t you?”

Helen grin turned into a full fledge laugh. “If I think back really far, I might see a smidgeon of it my memory.”

“It doesn’t have to be just a memory.” Helen’s smiled dimmed as if she realized she was the only one laughing. Despite his corny phrasing, Griffin was completely serious. “I want to bring you pleasure.”

“Sexual pleasure.”

“Every pleasure.”

Taking a deep breath, Helen moved past Griffin and back to the couch, where she sat down quickly, as if her legs had given out. “Were you serious about letting me set the pace?”

“Set the pace, control the speed, be the one in complete charge in the bedroom.”

“So if I ask you to undress now…”

Griffin’s had immediately went to the buttons on his shirt. “Wait.” She called out shakily. “It was a rhetorical question.”

“I’m ready, willing and able Helen You just need to say the word.”

“I just … I mean, you’re so much younger than me. There’s no future for us. I’m going to be a grandmother, I can’t be having an affair.”

Griffin raised his eyebrows at her excuses. She might be trying to convince herself, but as long as she wasn’t saying no, she wasn’t convincing him. “You are still a vibrant woman Helen. Don’t let society and excuses stop you from enjoying life.”

Kneeling on the couch next to her, Griffin slowly lowered his head until they were only inches apart. “Say yes Helen. Do something wild and crazy and just for you, if only this one time.”

Helen licked her lips nervously, but she didn’t back away. Closing her eyes for a moment Griffin was afraid the next words out of her mouth were going to be a diatribe on just were he could go. Instead she opened her eyes and whispered, “Yes.”
