Freaks in Love is out. Woo-hoo! I hope you all stop by Amber Allure and check it out. Here’s the blurb for it.
James lives in Triad City, working for the West Side Crime Association and hiding a secret that could get him killed. When his boss and the other associations’ leaders are assassinated, James has no choice but to return to the one place he never wanted to see again—Freak Town. Yet saving the life of the one friend he has in Triad City might be worth risking it all.
Magpie can’t believe he’s been shot and his boss assassinated. Waking up shortly afterward, he discovers he’s in Freak Town where all the mutants live. Nuclear radiation from the war has changed some people into creatures. Wigging out because his friend, James, is one of the Freaks seems sensible to Magpie. Falling in love doesn’t.
Together, the two men must find a way to survive the revolution being planned by the Freaks. Getting out of Triad City is the only way, but will Magpie stand beside James to save himself? Or will he lose his heart to a Freak, proving that the heart loves where it wants instead of where it’s wise?
I got my cover for Fighting Dragons and as soon as I can, I’ll post it for everyone to check out. Anne Cain, the cover goddess extraordinaire, outdid herself with this cover. It fits in great with the other two, while having its own style. 🙂
The voting for the blog story will stay open until midnight tonight, then I’ll count the votes and we’ll see which one will be the next one. Tomorrow, I’ll announce the winner and re-post the blurb. On Thursday of this week, I’ll introduce you to our heroes. The story will start up next Tuesday.
Hope everyone has a great Monday.
Wishing for a Home.
Blurb:
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?
Excerpt:
Derek studied him for a moment, his eyes running over Max’s body, stopping at the noticeable lump in Max’s jeans. A wicked gleam came in the singer’s eyes and Max stepped back.
“Don’t even think about it.”
He wasn’t fast enough. Derek pushed up on his knees and pressed his face to Max’s groin.
Groaning, Max buried his hands in Derek’s hair and arched his hips. Hot moist air penetrated his jeans and underwear, bathing his cock in sensations guaranteed to make him hard all day if he didn’t get that mouth wrapped around him at some point.
Derek broke his hold with ease and stood. “Sure. I’ll make pancakes.”
Gripping the man’s shoulder, Max jerked him to his chest. He covered that wicked mouth with his and kissed the singer until Derek melted against him, encircling his waist with his arms.
They broke apart when Max’s lungs screamed for oxygen. Derek stared at him in shocked surprise, lust burning in those green eyes.
“You’re a bit of a tease, aren’t you?” Max adjusted himself, trying to find room in his suddenly too tight jeans.
Derek shrugged. “You have to learn how to flirt. Drives the fans crazy. I‘d never tease you though. I‘ll always put out for you.”
Soothe the Burn available now….
Woo-hoo! Soothe the Burn is available in ebook form at Amber Allure. I enjoyed writing this one so I hope you all will enjoy reading it. I promised the blurb and an excerpt. Here you go:
Blurb:
Captain Alvix has a secret. One he’s managed to keep hidden for years until a stranger comes to his rescue and shakes up Alvix’s perfect world. Suddenly, Alvix finds himself doing things he never imagined he would and revealing his deepest secret to a man made of metal.
Lieutenant Cooper is the leader of an elite group of military men. Their loyalty to the Galactic Military led them to volunteer for an experiment that changed their skin into titanium flesh. On a desperate rescue mission, Cooper enlists the help of Alvix and, with that one action, changes their lives forever.
Can a man made of metal and a man struggling to control the fire inside his soul find common ground? Or will their love burn to ashes before they ever have a chance to discover it?
Excerpt:
“Hush, Alvix. It’s okay. It’s me, Cooper. You’re safe now. We’re off planet.”
Alvix squinted in the sudden flood of light. As the tears slowly disappeared and he could see again, he realized it really was Cooper kneeling next to the bed. He gasped and reached out, stopping inches away from the metal now covering all of Cooper’s face.
“You can touch.” Cooper gave him permission.
Pressing his fingertips to the cool smooth surface, he met Cooper’s silver eyes. “What does it feel like?”
Cooper shrugged, though there was no real change in his expression. “A little odd, like I’m wearing a mask. It’s flexible and everything. The scientists wanted to ensure we’d still be able to move and fight, no matter how metal we become.”
After pushing up onto his knees, Alvix cradled Cooper’s face with both hands. He moaned softly. He managed to detect concern in Cooper’s gaze.
“You don’t have to touch me. I’m sure you’d prefer not being touched by anyone at the moment.”
How could he explain that the cold chill of Cooper’s new skin soothed him in a deeper way than never being touched again would?
His lips burned as he remembered the ravishing kisses of the Tongassian king. Alvix whimpered and lurched forward, attacking Cooper’s mouth with his own. He only wanted to stop the fire that tried to escape from inside him.
Cooper’s breath danced over Alvix’s lips for a second before their lips met. Oh, God. Alvix’s brain went blank at the first silken drag of Cooper’s metal lips over his own heated human flesh. No words could express how much Alvix wanted to crawl over and smash his entire naked body against Cooper’s. Maybe it would douse the heat left under his skin from the fiery attention of his captor.
Icy strips ran down his sides and he realized they were Cooper’s hands only when the other man set him away. He whined in protest, wanting more of the satin smooth touch calming his jumpy nerves.
“No, Alvix. You just want me because I rescued you and now you’re safe.”
He narrowed his eyes and glared at Cooper. “I’m not that mental.”
Cooper raised a non-existent eyebrow in skeptical inquiry, and Alvix crossed his arms with an undignified snort.
“All right. Fine. I do have some issues after being some alien torch creature’s boy toy. Forgive me if I seem a little clingy to a person who isn’t going to flame my insides into a pile of ash while watching me squirm in agony for fun.”
Hope you enjoyed the excerpt, everyone. Have a great Sunday. 🙂

Blurb:
The end of the year is the start of a whole new beginning…
A Tabloid Star story.
Josh Bauer and Ryan Kellar sweated through a turbulent start to their relationship. Now that they’ve embarked on a life together, filled with family friends—and each other—Ryan’s suffering sweaty palms again. For an entirely different reason.
It’s not the heat they generate every time they’re alone together. It’s not even the crush of people at Josh’s jam-packed birthday party. It’s the birthday present Ryan’s carrying in his jeans pocket. The one that could make him the happiest man in the world, come New Year’s Eve.
If Josh says “yes”…

This is my newest upcoming release, Duncan’s World, from Amber Allure. It’s scheduled for April 4th. 🙂 Woot!
Here’s the unedited blurb:
Kyle MacDonald keeps his head down and tries to avoid making his father angry while traveling on the professional bull riding circuit. He’s learned the hard way how his father deals with being upset. The only rebellion Kyle’s allowed himself is helping out with the bulls after the event. It’s on one such night that Kyle meets Duncan Hornsby.
Duncan’s the reigning world Champion, and has everything he could want. Yet his eye has been caught by a shy young man whose father is Duncan’s biggest rival. Kyle MacDonald makes Duncan feel protective and passionate. Even though he’s fourteen years older than Kyle, Duncan’s ready to risk rejection to see if Kyle’s lips taste as sweet as they look.
Could a relationship grow between them amidst the macho atmosphere of bull riding and the danger presented by Kyle’s father? Or will Kyle and Duncan prove that age doesn’t count in matters of the heart?
What do you think? I love this cover…lol.

Here’s the awesome new cover for my Amber Allure release, Soothe the Burn. It’ll be out Feb. 7th. I think Trace did a marvelous job on it. 🙂
I’ll share the unedited blurb as well:

On a desperate rescue mission, Cooper enlists the help of Alvix and, with that one action, changes their lives forever.
Now the question is can a man made of metal and a man struggling to control the fire inside find common ground? Or will their love burn to ashes before they ever have a chance to discover it?
