WELCOME

It’s October!  WOW, where did last month go?  I know, I was writing a book.  I’ve written my first quickie and I’m crossing my fingers that someone likes it.  I just sent it off, so send positive vibes my way.

I am totally obsessing about the television show Prison Break.  It’s an odd concept for a show and last season I didn’t even start watching it until half way through the year, but let me tell you, I’ve fallen in love.  The two brothers on the show are hot, but the older one, at least for me is smoking.  It’s the whole bad boy thing he’s got going.  If you’ve never heard of this show, check it out at, http://www.fox.com/prisonbreak/.  I loved it so much I bought the DVD of the first season.  Yummy!

AVAILABLE NOW

Sixpence

AVAILABLE NOW from Samhain Publishing

A Sixpence In Her Shoe
ISBN:  1-59998-133-5
Publication Date: August 15th, 2006

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?

WORKS IN PROGRESS

Okay, Lena and I got a bit waylaid on our second Werewolf story in the Moonlight series.  For one thing I had to write my quickie, but Lena was also revamping and revising Call Me.  It’s going to be released at Samhain in October, so even if you read the original, check out the new updated version.  It is totally hot!  Also, we both, along with Maggie Casper, have been working on our galleys for the Wedding Dress Series.  It’s coming out as one large anthology print in November.  I am super excited because this will be my first print book.  Anyway, we have vowed to get to work on it beginning in October.  Maybe Halloween will inspire us.

RECOMMENDED READS

I’ve got two this month, one print book and one ebook.  They were both great, although totally different, so check them out.

In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there’s a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers.

Bella is instantly entranced by the seething power Zsadist possesses.

By night, he becomes a mysterious stranger devoted only to her pleasure…and discovers she’s hiding a naughty little secret.
  
After divorcing her never-home husband, Lauren Southall plucked up her courage, dusted off her power suits, and returned to corporate life. Two years later, there's just one six-foot three, testosterone-packed problem: her ex-husband's good friend and her current boss, Noah Reeves. Lauren aches for him. No other man will do. But she can’t possibly measure up to the silicone-packed professional cheerleaders he dates. So she hides her desire behind a professional persona and fantasizes.

For ten years, Noah Reeves has waited to make Lauren his. Once her divorce was final, he tracked down and hired the brilliant, dedicated woman. But when he's with her, it isn't spreadsheets and profit margins on his brain. Problem is, she's never seen him as anything but her ex-husband’s pal. Now that she's finally a free woman and with him 40+ hours a week, well... he'd love to persuade her to throw in her nights and weekends.
 
Noah decides to romance her by day. By night, he becomes a mysterious stranger devoted only to her pleasure…and discovers she’s hiding a naughty little secret of her own

EXCERPT

I’m going to give you a peek of the story I just finished.  It is totally unedited, so forgive any changes you may find in future upcoming publications.

Wounded Hearts

Unedited Excerpt

Patrick stood and walked toward the bedroom. He stopped for a moment at the door. His eyes adjusted to the darkness and he had no trouble seeing Erin curled up asleep in his bed. She’d kicked the covers off and the short nightgown she had on earlier was rucked up her legs, exposing her full pale hips to his hot gaze. The tiny matching string bikini she wore barely covered her. Her hands were tucked under her head and with the moon shining into the room he was sure he saw the tracks of tears dried on her face.

Just as he was trying to decide how to handle finding Erin in his bed, she turned onto her back. The nightgown strained across her chest, with her bountiful breasts practically spilling out of the confines. She must have sensed his presence in the room, because she blinked and slowly opened her eyes.

It had been two years since he’d seen Erin in the flesh and real life was better than fantasy any day. His own hand was no substitute for the lusciousness in front of him. He knew what he should do, what he had to do, but his body and heart, were telling him something completely different. This was his woman.

“If you don’t get your ass out of my bed in the next twenty seconds you’re going to find yourself in a precarious situation.” He might have pushed her away earlier tonight, but his cock straining against his zipper was telling him to take what was presented. Patrick waited to see if she’d run at his threat, but she remained silent, just staring at him while he continued to gaze at the plentiful offering in his bed.

Patrick loosened his pants and pushed them down over his hips. He stood naked before her, his cock standing in anticipation. Without a word, Erin opened her arms. He walked over and joined her on the bed.

“This is only sex.” He wanted to push her away but he couldn’t resist the call of her charms.

“Keep telling yourself that.” Erin reached out and grasped his cock, her soft warm hands stroking him.

Patrick groaned at her touch. He had to keep his head, if only for another minute. “You understand it doesn’t change anything, right?”

“Stop talking and come love me.” Erin released his cock and tugged him down to her.

He wanted to deny her words, but he couldn’t lie to himself as easily as he’d been lying to her. He still loved Erin and couldn’t imagine a time when he wouldn’t. Pushing back those thoughts, he rolled over pinning her to the bed.
