Be the Air for You available….

In case you didn’t know, my newest Amber Allure release came out yesterday. Be the Air for You is now available and with a 35% discount as well. 😀 Can’t beat that, huh?
Here’s the blurb:
Rock star Rod Hannah is on top of his game, performing all over the world to sold-out arenas. Yet loneliness is a battle he fights along with his long-time addiction to drugs and alcohol. He beat those latter demons three years ago with the aid of his best friend, Hawk McLeod, a doctor who runs a clinic on the Navajo reservation in New Mexico. But when it comes to the loneliness, it’s still a daily struggle for Rod. He’s been in love with Hawk for years, but the timing had never been right for turning their friendship into something deeper and more serious.
Hawk is the person Rod calls in the middle of the night, no matter where he is or what he’s done, and Hawk’s always there for him. Now, when Hawk faces a life-changing crisis and needs him the most, Rod will drop everything to support the man he loves, hoping to show him how perfect they are for each other…
I hope all the mothers had a wonderful day yesterday. Whether you think so or not, you are one of the most important people in the world. Mothers help shape the next generation. 🙂
Have a marvelous Monday, everyone…even if it is a Monday. lol
Another awesome Cover…

Revealing the Past will be out July 11th (though that date is subject to change). For those of you who aren’t familiar with Amber Quill/Amber Allure, they have a group of books called PAX. Usually five stories written around a center theme. They’re released on the same day and if you buy all five at the same time, you get a discount. Woot! Who can complain about that? 🙂
Revealing is part of the That’s Amore PAX. There will be five stories all set in Italy. Mine happens to be set in Venice on Poveglia Island actually.
Here’s the blurb:
Geoff DuPuis is an American archaeology in search of evidence of the ancient settlement on Poveglia Island in Venice, Italy. He doesn’t care about the stories of ghosts, or the legends of the tragic events that took place on the island. He’s only interested in that one small section of time.
When he meets Dr. Enzio di Salvatore, his guide to the island, he thinks maybe he could investigate something else, like every inch of that Italian stud. Little does he know though, Enzio has a history with the spirits on the island and they demand their due.
Geoff might find out that dealing with angry spirits might end up being easier than falling in love.
So, I was wondering about something. If I were to write a YA novel, would you be interested in it? I have an idea I’m going to start working on. 🙂 It’s a fantasy YA. I’d love to hear your opinions.
I hope you all have a great Hump Day.
Wishing for the a Home available tonight…

Grab Wishing for A Home here.
Derek St. Martin is Nashville’s hottest country singer. For eight years, fame and fortune have come his way, but he’s not happy. In fact, he’s on the edge of a nervous breakdown or checking into a drug rehab center. Hiding his sexual preferences is driving him to resort to numbing the pain. When his step-brother suggests he should go on vacation, Derek jumps at the chance to relax and get his head on straight.
Max Furlo isn’t happy. His bosses were leaving him in charge of some singer while he had other more important things to take care of. Seeing Derek St. Martin for the first time hits Max hard and, suddenly, he’s considering a summer fling.
Both men know that a relationship can never be for them. Derek’s career wouldn’t handle the news and Max can’t live a lie. Yet when a summer fling becomes love, who will be willing to risk it all for a chance at forever?
I hope you all have a great Monday.
Covers Galore!!!
Here’s the cover for Dracul’s Blood, my first collaboration with Carol Lynne. It’ll be out on June 28th at Total e-Bound. Isn’t it yummy?
And the second cover I received the other day. Bastet will be out June 6th at Amber Allure. 🙂 This cover is simple, but elegant. Totally perfect for the story. I love the statue.
Well, Out of Light into Darkness has been submitted to a different publisher. The first one passed on it. Which is cool with me. It just didn’t work for them. And that happens sometimes. I’ll find the right fit for the story at some point.
But I’ve been doing some re-working on it, so I haven’t been able to work as much as I’d like on Restoration Project and Bound by Trust. Now that OoLiD is done and out there again, I can focus on the other two…along with Anarchy in Blood, the second book with Carol.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. Hopefully, it will start warming up soon. I plan on writing this weekend. 🙂
Duncan’s World available….

In case some of you didn’t get a message yesterday, Duncan’s World is available at Amber Allure now. It’s also on sale. Amber Allure has started a new thing where all that week’s books are discounted for the first week.
Also, Freaks in Love was the #1 best seller at Amber Allure for March…and Soothe the Burn hung on for the #10th spot in March as well. Thank you all so much for making those two books hit the list. 🙂
I finished one book that just needs to be cleaned up, then I’ll be subbing it to Liquid Silver. On to the next book on my list…that needs to be done by June 1st.
I hope you all had a great weekend and have a wonderful Monday.
Fighting Dragons excerpt (NSFW)

I told you I’d post an excerpt for you today, so I decided I’d pick a hot one. 🙂 Definitely not safe for work. Check Fighting Dragons out here if you haven’t already….lol Oh for those of you who have read the book and asked, yes, I do eventually plan on giving Maksur his own story. Enjoy!
Blurb:
Sergeant Bailey Stevenson and Captain David Wellmine keep dancing around their attraction to each other. Bailey is more than willing to take their friendship in a more intimate direction, but David can’t climb out from under his father’s thumb long enough to take the next step.
On St. Patrick’s Day, when Irish magic is strongest, a meddling elf gives Bailey and David a chance to step beyond their doubts and fears to embrace the love simmering below the surface between them.
But when the spell is over, will David break the chains of his father’s plans for him and give Bailey his heart, or will he break Bailey’s?
Publisher’s Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Male/male sexual practices.
Excerpt:
He started to roll onto his back, but David stopped him, resuming the spooning position they had awakened in. Pushing a pillow under his head, he shivered as David squirted cool lube down his crack.
“Sorry. I probably should have warned you.” David kissed his shoulder.
“It’s okay. Just been a while.” He hated admitting that.
“I’ll be gentle.”
Bailey reached back and smacked David on the hip. “Asshole.”
David chuckled but didn’t reply. Bailey arched his back, pressing back into David’s touch as the man rubbed the lube over Bailey’s hole and eased the tip of his finger inside, slowly stretching the muscles.
“Oh.” He tensed slightly at the intrusion before relaxing and accepting David farther inside.
First one, then another, and Bailey lost track of time as he rocked back and forth, fucking himself on David’s fingers. He’d missed this feeling. The sensation of someone else’s hands on his body, not for medical reasons but purely to build desire and need. David’s fingers left him.
“No.” He couldn’t help the protest.
“It’s all right, baby. Do you think you’re ready enough?”
The flared head of David’s cock bumped his opening, and Bailey nodded. Air burst out of him as David pushed in, not stopping until he buried himself as deep as he could go in Bailey’s channel.
Bailey bit his lip and breathed. As much as he loved the feeling of being filled, he couldn’t ignore the hint of pain from the act. David murmured in his ear. He couldn’t make out the words over the rushing in his head, but the brush of David’s lips against his skin soothed and settled him. Soon his breathing evened out and his cock took a renewed interest in David’s hand wrapped around it.
He shoved back with his hips, letting David know he was ready. David squeezed Bailey’s cock and inched back to get enough room to move. Bailey whimpered at the slow withdrawal of David’s shaft. With just David’s crown inside him, Bailey held his breath, anticipating the slam of their bodies together. Surprise rocked through him as David slid back in a gentle motion.
“We aren’t in any rush,” David whispered, his rhythm strong but not hurried.
“Okay.”
Resting his cheek on the pillow, Bailey closed his eyes, absorbing the warmth and fullness surrounding him and inside him. He pulled his top leg up, closer to his chest, and David adjusted his reach, slipping his hand under Bailey’s thigh to encircle Bailey’s cock.
Time ground to a halt as they engaged in their own private dance. Their movements meshed, ensuring no clashes or awkward moments. Bailey kept his eyes closed, preferring to experience their lovemaking with his other senses.
The hair on David’s chest rasped over Bailey’s back, scratching sensitive skin marred by scars. Bailey didn’t move away from that irritation. It meant he was alive in a very fundamental way, and it allowed him to remember he’d survived.
Sweat beaded on his forehead, and as the pace started to build, David’s sweat dropped and mingled with his. Bailey licked his lips and moaned softly.
“So tight.” David groaned and shoved deeper into Bailey.
“Mmm…” Bailey’s brain-to-tongue connection seemed broken, because he couldn’t speak any coherent words.
They rocked harder and faster, David pumping Bailey’s cock in time with his own thrusts. Tingling spread over Bailey’s nerves, supplanting any other thought or care in his mind. He fisted his hands in the sheets and ducked his head, chest heaving with each grunt.
His balls drew tighter to his body, and his cock swelled even more in David’s hands.
“David.”
“It’s all right. I’ve got you, Bailey.” David sped up, rammed into Bailey’s ass and froze. “Come on my cock.”
Lights exploded under Bailey’s eyelids, and he grunted, spilling his cum over David’s hand and the sheets in front of him. “Ah!”
David slammed into him once and a second time. Liquid heat flooded Bailey’s ass, making his muscles clench and massage David’s shaft, wanting everything the man had to give him.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but he found he didn’t care. He liked being drawn tight to David’s chest and wrapped in an almost crushing embrace. David nuzzled the sweat-drenched curls at the nape of his neck. Bailey ran his hands over David’s where they rested on Bailey’s stomach.

Wishing for a Home- release date

For all of those who haven’t heard, I got a release date for Wishing for a Home. It’ll be out April 12th after 7 pm. Liquid Silver Books releases their books at night. 🙂 So I wonder how many of you will be staying up all night to read it…lol.
I’ve been sick the last couple of days, but I’m feeling better. Just fighting a stupid cough now, which I’ve been told (by people who have been sick like me) that the cough will hang around a while. Yay! How fun…lol.
Didn’t do much writing over the weekend. Mostly, I tried to rest and stuff, but I’ll be getting back into the swing of things today.
I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.
Be the Air for You cover

This is the cover for my May 9th Amber Allure release, Be the Air for You. I like it. Very hot! 🙂
I thought I’d give you the blurb and a little unedited excerpt from the story.
Blurb:
Rod Hannah is on top of his game, performing all over the world to sold-out arenas. Yet loneliness is a battle he fights along with his long-time addiction to drugs and alcohol. He beat those demons three years ago because of his best friend, Hawk McLeod.
Hawk is the person Rod calls in the middle of the night, no matter where he’s been, and Hawk’s always there for him. Yet when Hawk needs help fighting a battle he can’t win, Rod will be there.
He’s been in love with Hawk for years, but the timing had never been right for turning their friendship into something deeper and more serious. Now when Hawk needs him the most, Rod will be there for the man he loves, showing him how perfect they are for each other.
Excerpt:
I set my phone down and lean back on the couch, staring at the picture of Hawk. He sent it to me to show me what good my money was doing, but those pictures were my lifeline in many ways. I saw possibilities and reasons, other than being self-centered and egotistical, why I did what I did. Playing music was my only talent, so I did it to the best of my ability and hoped others would get something from it.
Picking up my computer, I set it on my lap and truly look at Hawk. Lines craved at the corner of his mouth weren’t laugh lines. Dark circles under his eyes spoke to me of more sleepless nights than I caused him. The sun glinted off Hawk’s black-blue hair and showed a few strands of silver. My friend looked tired and I had the sudden urge to cancel all my remaining concerts to fly to Arizona and kidnap Hawk. He never knew when to take the time to rest. The clinic, his people, and me were the most important things to him. He’d work himself to death for any of the three and I knew it.
I opened the email Hawk sent me with the picture.
“Maria received her new glasses today. Hopefully her headaches will go away and her grades will improve. I wanted to give you a name and face to think about when you wonder if there is anything good in the world. Your friend always, Hawk.”
I didn’t need another face or name to remind me that good existed. All I had to do was imagine Hawk for he was the epitome of goodness.
Hitting reply, I typed, “Thank you yet again for reaffirming my belief in you. Get some sleep, my friend. Please, I don’t want to hear about you getting sick.”
I hit send and shut my computer down. A knock sounded on my door and I grimaced. Time to be a star, and let Hawk do the important life-altering things.
I hope you all have a great Friday and a marvelous weekend. 🙂
Fighting Dragons cover…

Very nice cover, isn’t it? Another great one from Anne Cain. 🙂
Fighting Dragons will be available on March 30th from Loose-Id.
I finished the edits on Duncan’s World (available April 4th at Amber Allure) and Wishing for a Home (available at some point in April from Liquid Silver Books) Woot!
I’m working on Revealing the Past, a story for Amber Allure. I’m close to being finished with it, so I’m focusing my attention on that one story until I’m done. 🙂 Then I’ll dig through and figure out which one I want to put on the calendar along with Not Seeing is Believing. Also, remember that Wolf’s Survival starts tomorrow.
Have a great Monday.
