#FreebieFriday #FreeRead Take a Chance #Boxset
Boy am I thankful for Friday. It has been a trying week and I want to thank all of you for your well wishes and support. I’m doing much better today. Feeling better and the tree is gone. Handymen are on their way to give quotes for fixing the damage to the house and deck. I’ve got my laptop running again and hubby suprised me with an upgrade to my phone! Yeah. Still getting used to it, but I love that it’s bigger so my clumsy fingers can type better.
I’m sharing this free read from the Take a Chance box set. As I mentioned, I’m working on number 4 in the series, Stay the Night, and trying to think about who should be in the fifth story. I mentioned in One Last Night that Maggie has a sister in the service. I’m thinking it may be time for another story with a female service member. What do you think?
#ManCandyMonday Take a Chance #BoxSet Release Day!
Woo hoo, it is an exciting day! It’s the release day for the Take a Chance box set featuring Just One Night, One Special Night and One Last Night. Plus I’m just finishing up Stay the Night which should be out in early December! Unfortunately I had a laptop crash which slowed things down a little this weekend. 🙁
I hope you’ll take a moment to check out this box set. I have loved writing these stories and I hope you will enjoy reading them just as much!
#WriteWed Take a Chance Series #Military #Romance & #Giveaway
Wow, oh wow, talk about writing inspiration! I’ve just started STAY THE NIGHT, the next novella in the Take a Chance series and again, Wow! I am having so much fun exploring the conflict between a couple that have become strangers during the husband’s military duty, but still have passion (and maybe more) binding them together.
The hero in the story is Rafe Castillo, a Navy Seal coming home for leave before heading back for his last months of duty. His wife, Elena, was only eighteen when she became pregnant and Rafe’s honor and deep-rooted beliefs made him marry her. Of course, Rafe has kind of been in love with Elena for a very long time otherwise he wouldn’t have become involved with her.
Flash forward three years later and Elena is now a woman. A smart, sexy and independent woman who Rafe almost doesn’t recognize when she meets him at the airport. Elena has a good job, is going to college, has just gotten a promotion complete with a new company car, and she’s bought them a home.
Elena has basically moved on with her life and Rafe is not sure if he has a place in it anymore.
I’m just loving exploring that and the passion between them. I hope you’ll like Stay the Night also when it comes out in late November.
Speaking of November, the time is up for the ONE LAST NIGHT campaign for Hope for the Warriors and I made a donation yesterday. Thank you to all of you who participated in the Thunderclap and purchased the novella. It’s specially priced at .99 cents all this week, but then the price will go up.
You will still be able to get all the novellas as standalones, but on November 17, you can also buy them as part of the Take a Chance box set! Thank you again for your support for me and for our military men, women, and families.
Speaking of the military, join me and other romance authors at Read.Write.Remember on November 11th, Veteran’s Day, as we talk about why we honor and support our military in various ways!
As I mentioned on Monday, we had a bit of an issue with the Seductive Supernaturals release, but thankfully we’re back from the dead! You can now find the box set in searches and all the right categories. Thanks to Amazon for figuring it out!
To celebrate, we’re having a “We’re Back” blog hop and Facebook Re-Launch Party! So please come and play with us now that we are back from the great unknown of cyberspace.
#WriteWed Wicked Hot Reads Blog Hop
I want to welcome my awesome WICKED HOT READS friends to my blog today! I also want to thank all of you who have signed up for my Thunderclap to help our wounded military men and women. If you haven’t signed up yet, please consider doing so.

Lisa Hughey
Lisa Hughey has been writing romance since the fourth grade, which was also about the time she began her love affair with spies. Harriet and Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys later gave way to James Bond and Lara Croft and Jason Bourne.
Exploring the complex nature of a profession that requires subterfuge and lies fascinates her. She loves combining her two passions into fiction. As evidenced by her Black Cipher Files series.
Archangel Rafe was her first foray into the paranormal but after spending time in the Angelic Realm, it won’t be her last. At their heart, the Seven novels are about the dynamics of family relationships. But the really hot Archangels don’t hurt.
And recently she’s been immersed in the Stone Family novellas, four stories about a blended family of brothers and sister who have a lot more in common than they realize. But of course she couldn’t just write about family and romance. There are complex plots, bad guys, and suspense too.
Lisa loves to hear from readers and has various places you can connect with her, although, shh, Twitter is her favorite.

Jessie Donovan
Jessie Donovan wrote her first story at age five, and after discovering the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey in junior high, realized that people actually wanted to read stories like those floating around inside her head. From there on out, she was determined to tap into her over-active imagination and write a book someday.
After living abroad for five years and earning degrees in Japanese, Anthropology, and Secondary Education, she buckled down and finally wrote her first full-length book. While that story will never see the light of day, it laid the world-building groundwork of what would become her debut paranormal romance, Blaze of Secrets.
Jessie loves to interact with readers. When not reading a book or traipsing around some foreign country on a shoestring, can often be found on Facebook and Twitter.

#TeaserTuesday Getting Ready to Fight #VAMPIRE REBORN
So excited! It’s almost time for the official release of SEDUCTIVE SUPERNATURALS, the paranormal romance box set I am doing with some buddies.
My contribution to the set is VAMPIRE REBORN from THE CALLING IS REBORN Vampire Novel Series. I just love exploring where FBI Agent Diana Reyes and vampire Ryder Latimer are going in their relationship and I hope you’re enjoying it as well.
Since it’s Teaser Tuesday, here’s a little teaser from VAMPIRE REBORN.
Teaser
Although his vampire blood called on him to rest during the day, Ryder regularly fought that need in his desire to be more human. To share time with Diana the way normal couples did. He had worked at his desk in the morning, checking on his various investments, and now the two of them were in the gym, working out.
Ryder moved through the steps in the kata, Diana beside him, shifting in unison.
A left turn to face forward followed by a low block with the left hand.
A step ahead with a sharp right-handed punch.
A quick whirl and back to the front for another low block.
They glided, pushed forward and back, almost as if in a ballet.
Pivot, forward, punch, and then retreat.
An upper cut followed by a drop of the hands to the hips with another one hundred eighty degree turn and a double high block.
From the corner of his eye, he measured Diana’s movements and strength since he hadn’t been the only one who had almost lost his life weeks earlier.
Not that you could tell from her fluid and powerful movements. There wasn’t a hint of hesitation or fragility to attest to the fact that his wife had not only been on death’s door, but that she’d recently given birth. Well, almost nothing. Her warrior’s body wore its lean muscled strength nicely, but the womanly curves were ever more rounded, especially her breasts.
Her command came in his head through their shared connection. Focus.
The warning made him stumble through the final punch and slide of the kata, but he recovered to end it gracefully.
They faced each other and bowed to acknowledge the completion of the exercise.
With the kata finished, she grinned and rolled her eyes. “Men. Show a little tit and it totally throws you off.â€
Reaching out, he playfully squeezed her breast and said, “Nothing little about those.â€
She slapped at him and he recognized the invitation in her gaze. “Think you can boss me around?†he asked.
“I know I can, remember?â€
Yeah, he remembered all right. She’d beaten him more than once during their workouts, but he’d been training hard and this time, he planned on coming out on top. Literally.
“Prove it,†he challenged and put his hands up in a fighting stance.
She arched a brow and her demeanor grew a tad too serious for his taste. “Are you sure?â€
“If you’re meaning to ask if I’m up to it – â€
“Are you?†she asked, but raised her hands and braced her legs slightly apart, ready for battle.
Her words stung more than any punch she could have landed. “Don’t patronize me, darlin’. I’m fit enough to protect you and Charlie.â€
