Now Available….
Hearts on the Line is now available at Amber Allure. Check it out here. I did add an epilogue/chapter to it, so you know how the boys are doing in Mexico. 🙂
On today’s schedule I have: writing the next installment of Bodyguards, work on Losing and A Grand Prix Romance. So a full day of writing is ahead for me.
In case anyone is interested, Close the Distance is up for pre-order now. Check it out here.
As is Serving Love at Carnival. Check it out here.
I hope you all have a great day.
Busy Weekend
Watching the US Men’s Hockey Team playing against the Canadian team. 🙂 Thought I’d share a pic of the US Captain Zach Parise. Keeping my fingers crossed for a chance at the gold medal.
Started working on a short story on Monday and will be subbing it today. As soon as I get the go-ahead, I’ll let you all know what it’s about. Once it’s turned in, I’ll be working on A Grand Prix Romance, which is Book 7 of our International Sports series. This one is set in Monaco during the Formula One race. One hero is a Formula One driver and the other is Paolo Lancaster, the goalie from At First Touch.
I’ll also be working on Losing Sight of the Target, my biathlon story. Hopefully I’ll get that done asap, because I have a never-ending line of books to write after that…lol
I hope you all have a great weekend. 🙂
New Cover….
This is the cover for Nowhere Diner: Finding Peace. (as if you couldn’t tell by reading it…lol) It’ll be out in ebook format on March 23rd, then out in print in mid-April or so. 🙂 I did add some new stuff to the end of the story.
I subbed Footsteps of My Father yesterday. It’s Book 3 of the Rags to Riches series and I’ll share the dates with you all when I get them.
I’m starting the last Fallen book, St Petersburg, which is Lucifer’s story. Because he’s not evil. He’s simply misunderstood…lol. 🙂 Still working on Losing Sight of the Target and just started A Grand Prix Romance (Monaco) with Devon. So I have a full plate still. One of those ‘no rest for the wicked’ things.
I hope you are having a great President’s Day. For those of you with the day off, enjoy. And those of you who have to go work…I’m sorry. Be safe and warm out there.
Now Available….
So Remove the Empty Spaces is now available for general release, meaning it’s on sale at 3rd party booksellers. 🙂 so if you prefer to buy your books at amazon or ARe, it’s there. Here’s the link to Amazon. And the good news….it’s only 99 cents. Yep. It’s the first book in an eight book series and remember if you read it, the second book, Close the Distances, takes up right where Remove ends. 🙂 So you did get to know what happens when Adrien meets Ion’s family. lol
Also I got the cover to my seventh Fallen book, London. I have to say this is my absolute favorite cover of the series so far. I love all of the covers for the series and I can’t wait to see the last one, Redemption, when I get it done…lol.
Los Angeles, book six, is up for early download now..if anyone is interested. Here’s the link to it.
And one more cover to look at. 🙂 We got the cover for Serving Love at Carnival, our sixth International Men of Sports series.
I’ve been so lucky with my covers. 🙂 So that’s all I need to tell you about at the moment. Working on Losing Sight of the Target and edits on From Yesterday. Once those are done, I’ll be starting Footsteps of My Father, book 3 of the Rags to Riches series. Also Devon and I will be starting A Grand Prix Romance, taking place in Monaco during the Formula One Grand Prix of Monaco. 🙂 And I have a special project I’m working on as well and as soon as I can, I’ll tell you all about it.
Well, I hope you’re all warm and safe. Have a great weekend.
Available now….
Between Love and Hate is available now at Amber Allure. 🙂 Click here to check it out. It’s also on sale. So that’s a bonus.
I finished London, Book 7 of my Fallen series, last night and turned it in. Yay! One more left in that series and it’ll be Lucifer who finally gets his own story. lol But I’m working on Losing Sight of the Target, my Biathlon story for a Winter Games PAX at Amber Allure. Justin is a world-class biathlete (not sure if that’s what you call them…lol) and he receives some devastating news that changes how he thinks about the world around him. It’s not technically due until June 1st, but I want to get it off the list.
Then I’ll start Footsteps of My Father, Book 3 in the Rags to Riches series. And Devon and I will be starting A Grand Prix Romance (takes place in Monaco) in the next week or so.
As you can see, my full writing schedule continues. lol. I think I’m a glutton for punishment, having so many stories going. But I find I’m happiest when I’m writing. So it’s a good thing. 🙂
Oh we changed the title on the Rio book. It’s now Serving Love at Carnival. 🙂 Can’t wait to see the cover. Woo-hoo!
I hope you’re all staying warm and safe on this Monday.
Wednesday’s Work in Progress…
First off, Devon Rhodes and I have a new blog/site where you can stop by to find out news about our International Men of Sports series. Updates, covers, excerpts and maybe a contest or two along the way. Plus if we do any other co-authored works, we’ll be posting them there as well. 🙂 Here’s the link to it if you’d like to check it out.
Now the snippet I’m posting today is from London, Fallen Book 7. I know it’s a M/F book, but it’s what I’m working on at the moment…lol. This happens to be Mika’il’s book. He’s the archangel and the guy in charge of all the Enforcers (who are like good fallen angels) 🙂

Excerpt:
“Are you seriously threatening me?” He couldn’t believe what he was hearing coming from the true demon.
“Yes. You might kill me, but I don’t care. I will protect her with my life. It’s bad enough that creature comes around all the time. Now I’m going to have to deal with you as well. I haven’t ever done anything wrong in the thousands of years I’ve been on this earth. Why am I being tortured by angels?”
Russell snarled, but Mika’il wasn’t afraid of him. Why would he be since he was the strongest angel in heaven? He’d faced down Lucifer Daystar and stood firm when the fallen came to the gate to beg for forgiveness.
The only thing he’d ever been afraid of was disappointing God. No true demon would ever make him cower. He surged to his feet then took one step forward to brace his hands on the desk. He leant over to put his face right in Russell’s.
“Don’t you dare threaten me, demon. I’ve dealt with your kind from the moment of your creation. You don’t scare me. I can destroy you with a thought.” He growled.
To his surprise, Russell didn’t back down. In fact, he pushed to his feet and stood inches away from Mika’il. “I know you can, but I don’t care. I love that girl and she’s gone through hell all of her life. She doesn’t need you bothering her about why she’s painting you. Why can’t you just let it go?”
“I can’t let it go because she’s painting scenes of a part of my life where I lost the only thing that ever mattered more to me than God. How does she know these things? Who is she and how does she know me? Is she here tonight? I want to meet her.”
Russell blinked before slowly sinking back into his chair. “Oh my God.”
Mika’il felt his eye twitch at Russell’s use of God like that, but he let it go because he saw the shock in the demon’s face. “What’s so shocking about that? That I could fall in love with someone? That I could find joy in a mortal?”
“You’re him.”
“I’m who?” Now Russell wasn’t making sense.
“I really thought that he was the guy, but while he does come around a lot, he never seemed to look at her like you’d think a guy would look at the woman he loved, you know.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. You knew about me.”
Russell shook his head. “No. I knew about the man in the paintings. She sees him in her visions and dreams all the time. She doesn’t know why she sees him. Hell, she doesn’t understand why she has to paint all these scenes and things.” He pressed his hand to his mouth. “I’m not sure she’ll be able to handle meeting you. How do I tell her that she’s been dreaming of the most powerful archangel in heaven? I mean she tells me that she believes in heaven and hell. That angels and demons haunt the world she finds herself in at times. She even considers him an angel, even though I know he’s not even close to being one.”
“Who are you talking about?” Mika’il’s mind spun. Listening to Russell babble was going to drive him insane and he never thought that would happen. Especially after having to deal with Lucifer all the time.
“Umm…no one important.” Russell winced after he said it like whomever he had been talking about could hear him. “Just a friend of hers.”
New Cover…
I forgot that I hadn’t shared the cover for Burning Up the Ice, Book 5 of the International Men of Sports series. So here it is and it’s on the coming soon page. Click here to check it out.
Also, Blindsided has hit all 3rd party sellers by now. So if you buy your books on Amazon, it’s available. 🙂
For those of you who are interested, or know someone who might be, Fallen: Los Angeles is up for pre-order now. 🙂 click here to check it out.
I’m pretty sure I let you know that Remove the Empty Spaces is available for early download, but if not, it is. lol click here to check it out.
Umm….I think that’s all I have to tell you today. Oh, Bump Set Score in Rio, book 6 of the International Men of Sports series, has been completed and subbed. So yay! The original six books planned for the series are done. Now we’re moving on to the next six, which weren’t planned for in our first plotting session but have developed over the months as we wrote the first six. 🙂
Now I’m working on London, Book 7 of the Fallen series and Losing Sight of the Target, which is for an Amber Allure PAX. Also, I’m working on a secret project that as soon as I can, I’ll let you know more about. Plus, Devon and I will be getting started on A Grand Prix Romance, which is Book 7 of IMOS. 🙂
I hope you all had a great weekend and a marvelous Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Wednesday Work in Progress…
So I’ll be giving you another snippet from Brazil…or the actual title is Bump Set Score in Rio. 🙂 Got that figured out this week. In the homestretch and should have it finished by next Monday. Yay! Then we’ll be heading off to Monaco for the Formula One Grand Prix and a little gambling. 😀
Have a great day.
Bump Set Score in Rio copyright c. 2014 T.A. Chase & Devon Rhodes
Excerpt-
Diego launched himself into the air to try and get the ball before it hit the ground, but the small cloud of sand puffed up inches beyond the tips of his fingers. Sand went up his nose and into his eyes. After he pushed to his feet, he clapped his hands together to clean them.
“It’s all right, dude. We’ll get the next one.” Carlos slapped his ass as he went past to his position on the court.
He nodded, pushing the lost point out of his head to focus on the next. They had lost the first game, eleven to twenty-one, and were behind in this one by four. He didn’t want to lose this match because he wasn’t ready to go home yet. In the round robin tournament, they’d already lost one match and if they lost this one, they were out. If they won, they’d still have a chance.
“You’re a bit of a klutz,” Phineas, one of his opponents, called out as they got ready to play the next point.
Diego shook his head. No point in arguing with the truth. He did have a bit of a problem staying on his feet, but it didn’t usually show itself on the sand. If he’d been walking across the lobby, he could trip over a crack that wasn’t even there.
Most of the time, the trash talking didn’t get bad, though he had come across some guys who didn’t know when to shut the fuck up and it would get intensely personal. Of course, a few of them didn’t speak Portuguese, so he had no way of knowing what they were saying. Those he did, he’d learned to let those insults roll off his back.
Phineas’ partner, Ynavo tossed the ball into the air then did a jump serve right at Carlos. His friend bumped it into the air in just the right angle for Diego to pass it back to him. Carlos leapt up, his hand connecting with the ball, and nailing it back towards Phineas and Ynavo.
Diego tensed, ready to move right or left, depending on where they sent the ball, but he watched as it fell between the two of them. The referee blew the whistle and gestured to their side of the court.
“Point to Melo/Barbosa.”
“That was a dirt dessert,” Carlos commented on the fact it was a sweet kill and Diego gave him a high five as he jogged back to the service line.
“Watch this.” He grinned before spinning the ball on his palm. They had this match. He knew it even though they might be behind. Diego did his own jump-serve, aiming for the middle of the court.
The ball hit in between Phineas and Ynavo. The two men glared at each other, but didn’t say a word.
“Holy shit, man. They totally hubby-wifed it,” Carlos crowed as he congratulated Diego on his serve. “How did you manage that?”
“Not sure, but neither of them looked sure about where they were standing, so I figured they hadn’t decided who would get the pass when I hit it.” Diego wiggled his eyebrows and chuckled. “Let’s finish it.”
They took the next four points then the next game. Diego hugged Carlos before trotting over to shake hands with Phineas and Ynavo.
“Good match, gentlemen.” He slapped Phineas on the shoulder.
“Aye. Well, drinks are on you tonight.” Phineas poked him in the arm. “We’ll meet you two in the lobby later on. Good luck with your next match.”
“You also.”
Diego and Carlos went back to the waiting area. They’d try to relax and stay loose for their next one which would be the winner of the match just starting. Diego stretched a little then found a quiet spot where he could stretch out and listen to his Ipod. He and Carlos would come up with a strategy once they discovered who they’d be playing. He wasn’t overly worried. He closed his eyes and let the samba music fill his mind.
Wednesday’s Work in Progress…NSFW
Today’s Work In Progress is Brazil…book 6 in the International Men of Sports series. We haven’t come up with a title yet, but it’ll come to us eventually. 🙂
This one is going to be hotter than the first five…not necessarily the characters themselves, but they have sex in the first chapter. 😉 which is faster than our other guys have done it. lol Here’s a little sexting between Diego and Pablo.
Here’s a sexy snippet for you all.
Brazil copyright c. 2014 T.A. Chase & Devon Rhodes.
Excerpt:
If I was there, I’d wrap my hand around you and stroke you hard. Because I wouldn’t let you do it by yourself.
Groaning, Pablo dropped the phone then undid his pants as fast as he could. Lifting his hips, he shucked his jeans and red briefs down then kicked them away. Now his cock was full and aching, and he didn’t waste any time in getting the lotion out.
A naughty idea occurred to him, so he slicked up his hand and gave his erection several hard pulls, just like Diego had described. When he was at his full arousal, he pulled up his T-shirt past his nipples, wiping some of the excess lotion off on the fabric in the process, then opened his camera function and aimed. He snapped a selfie looking down his abs at his erection, then sent it to Diego in lieu of typing a reply. Once it had sent, he loosely held the phone in his right hand while he continued to pump his cock with the left.
Santa sé mierda! Warn a guy before you send a pic like that.
Pablo grinned, enjoying the reaction. He had no idea what Diego was doing–for all he knew he could be in a business meeting or something. The thought of some random paper-pusher glancing over and getting an eyeful of his dick pic got him hot.
You do have a gorgeous cock, queridos. I remember how it felt fucking my mouth.
“Fuck yeah.” Pablo worked his hand along his dick, knowing it wasn’t going to take much more to get him there. He didn’t want to stop and type anything at this point, so he just pictured Diego in his head, his heated expression as he’d looked down at him in the alley, his absolutely stacked physique.
Are you jerking off now?
He banged his head on his pillow a few times then let go of his protesting cock. “I seriously need speech to text.” He sat up and ripped his shirt the rest of the way off then used it to clean his hand.
New Cover….
This is the cover for Hearts on the Line coming from Amber Allure on Feb 23rd. 🙂 The print version will be out a few weeks after the ebook one. I found the picture and Trace was nice enough to use the one I wanted. I thought it had just the right amount of military feel to it. 🙂
I should be receiving the cover for Burning Up the Ice soon as well. We just got our Final Line Edits for that and we’ll be going through those today. Yay!
I’ve been working on Brazil and London, and moving right along on both of them. Since it’s still snowing here and the wind chill is supposed to be some crazy below zero number, I think I’m just going to stay inside and continue to write. The cold is a good way to stay focused. lol
I hope you all are safe and warm.
