There’s really not much to say except that it’s here and I adore this cover. And, bonus! It’s now available at Bookstrand and Amazon. I think it’s my best Siren cover yet! What do you all think?

My fabulous cover designer, Harris Channing nailed it.

Paige Drummond has been offered the job of her dreams. Crave is set to open a boudoir photo studio and the owner wants her to do the design work. There’s only one problem. She’s given up the dream she’s worked so hard for because of a devastating blackmail attempt. Ashamed, she holds the dark secret close to her heart and refuses to tell even those closest to her.

Enter Nate Hughes and Sloan Davis, two sexy as sin contractors whose love for construction is only outweighed by the size of their hearts.

When too many convenient accidents haunt Paige, Nate and Sloan decide the safest place for her is in their arms. When the passion of ménage burns hot and sweet, can they both protect her against the unknown threat and convince her to stay forever?

Crave, equal parts naughty, class and sass.

May be read as a standalone.

Releases October 28 at Bookstrand. Available now.

photo (24)Paige is a down to earth girl who wants nothing more than to restore her family home, an aging, Queen Anne Victorian. The only things she holds dear to her heart are her twin sister and the home they were raised in. There’s only one problem-her mentor yanks the rug from beneath her feet and steals the means to accomplish her dream. Shattered, she’s not sure she’ll ever be able to put her interior design skills to work.

A Craving For Two is the second book the series, Crave so you’ll see a familiar face or two, but it can be read as a stand alone.

Come back Thursday and meet the guys, Nate and Sloan. Friday I’ll release my cover, and I’m in love. It may be my best cover yet.

 

October is here!

It’s my favorite time of year and each year when it rolls around, I blink and then it’s gone. I know before too long the bitter cold of winter will darken my door so this year I plan to savor every moment of fall that I can.

To celebrate I want to introduce you to a few of my favorite characters, and they are right at home in the dark of night. Azrael, is and will always be near and dear to my heart. The big lug, is a quiet, stoic male who is too sexy for his own good. As a Soul Runner, he acts a deliverer of departed souls to their final resting place.

His book, Azrael’s Light, is full of quirky characters, dark otherworldiness and smexy times. It’s perfect read for a cool, dreary, Halloween night.

Excerpt ~~~

He stepped in once more and took a lock of her hair in his hand. Briefly he rubbed it between his fingers as if savoring the texture and then tucked it behind her ear, grazing the outer shell with a lingering sweep as he pulled his hand away.

“You really are a stubborn little thing, aren’t you? Beware, sweetness. That fight only makes you all the more tempting to someone like me. When your resistance finally falls, the victory is so much sweeter.”

His eyes pinning her in place and his voice compelling her to follow his lead became a lethal one-two punch, disarming her. Any intelligence and self-control she had flew right out the window. He was an incubus, luring her in with seductive words and dark promises. Her knees redoubled their efforts to stay upright.

She didn’t have time for this, and no way, no how could she make sexy eyes with a Soul Runner. What was she thinking? Every sane thought she had evaporated, and that was the problem.

She couldn’t let him get under her skin or her clothes.

“Look, Azrael, you can put away the smolder…”
