#ManCandyMonday The Heroes of the Take a Chance Series & Release Day

ONPRelease2

Thank you so so much for the wonderful reception you’ve given to the Take a Chance erotic military romance series. I am so pleased that you are enjoying these sexy and emotional stories! The next release in the series, ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE, is available TODAY. I think you’ll love this story about Army Staff Sargent Bridget Sullivan and retired Navy Captain Mark Smith and a night that brings them both more than what they expected, but totally what they wanted.

Since today is Man Candy Monday, I’ve got a little video for you with all the sexy heroes of the Take a Chance series! Click here if you cannot see the Take a Chance Heroes Video.

A Little More About ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE

She wasn’t the kind of woman who wore fancy dresses or did one night
stands. . .

Bridget Sullivan preferred her Army uniform and work boots to elegant evening gowns. Getting all done up for some fancy Memorial Day gala wasn’t in her plans, but it’s hard to resist the thought of seeing handsome retired Navy Captain Mark Smith again. It also means spending time with the cadre of ex-military friends who have made her return to civilian life a little easier to handle. But when Mark presses for more, will she break her rigid rules for one sexy night?

The only thing he likes better than a woman in uniform is seeing her out of it . . .

Especially if it’s sexy Staff Sergeant Bridget Sullivan. Since meeting Bridget a month earlier, Mark Smith has been attracted to the gorgeous woman who seems intent on hiding her beauty and her courage. Bridget’s determination to make it in a usually male world, from her choice of the Army to her current construction job, intrigues Mark. When Bridget sheds her muddy jeans and sneakers for sexy high heels and a slit-to-there dress, Mark is more than willing to help her explore her new feminine side. But can one night of pleasure lead to more?

Today’s Throwback Thursday isn’t that far a toss backward. This picture is from the 2014 RT Convention in New Orleans where I was lucky enough to be able to hang out with my Lucky 7 Romance ladies and the fabulous Sharon Hamilton. As you know, the Lucky 7 ladies have a new box set out – Lucky 7 Brazen Bachelors! I’m also honored to be participating in another box set with Sharon in June – Heroes in Uniform. So excited and I’ll share more on that release as soon as some other details are finalized!

So here goes – from the left to the right in the photo: Sophia Knightly, lil’ ol’ me, Susan Hatler, Sharon Hamilton and Virna DePaul!

#WriteWed Our Inspiring Warriors

I’ve always loved reading stories about our military men and women and that inspired me to create the Take a Chance series. It’s been a challenge to explore the many facets of military heroes and their struggles in the battlefield and off, but I so love giving them their happily-ever-after.

What’s truly inspiring is the way so many veterans have dealt with the wounds they’ve suffered while serving our Nation. People like Daniel Jacobs who didn’t let the loss of part of his leg, remaining foot, and a few fingers keep him from trying out for the Detroit Lions.

Or Noah Galloway, a double amputee whose goal it is to inspire other other veterans!

Please click here if you cannot see the Noah Galloway video.

Noah will be on this year’s Dancing with the Stars. Here he is sharing some info on his journey for that show. Thanks to Noah’s Facebook Page for this!

Then there are my friends at the RomVets, romance authors who have served in various military branches. And let me not forget my buddy Kim, from the wonderful SOS ALOHA Blog who is the wife of a military man and helps organize so many wonderful things for our military men, women, and families with the help of RT Book Reviews.

So that’s my #WriteWednesday inspiration and God bless each and everyone for their service and sacrifice.

#TeaserTuesday ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE Excerpt

one night of pleasureHappy Teaser Tuesday! Today I’ve got an excerpt for you from ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE, the next novella in the Take a Chance series.

This was a tough novella for me to write since I knew when I started that it might not have the kind of happily-ever-after that some readers might want. But as the story developed, I knew that these two characters were not only meant to be together, but to have something wonderful and unexpected happen at the end of the story! It made me tear up a bit and smile, and I hope you’ll feel the same way.

Without further ado . . . ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE.

#ManCandyMonday Derek Hough & Jase from JUST ONE NIGHT & Lucky 7 Brazen Bachelors

Good morning! It is a good one as it’s finally starting to get warmer! Woo hoo. Today’s sexy Man Candy Monday is Derek Hough from Dancing with the Stars and the all new NY Spring Spectacular with the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall. Derek has won 5 Dancing with the Stars competitions and also won an Emmy for his choreography for the show.

I think Derek would be a good Jase if JUST ONE NIGHT was adapted for a movie or television show. Don’t you?

#FreebieFriday #Giveaway ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE

ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE erotic military romanceOMG, it’s Friday! Thank you! We had more snow yesterday. 7 plus inches of the white stuff and I am so done with it. I need warmth and sun and the beach! I’ve missed it all winter long since it’s just been either too cold or too snowy to go for a stroll along the boardwalk. I really need those to balance myself.

Since I can’t have one of those walks right now, how about a sexy book set along the Jersey Shore? ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE, my March 15 release and #5 in the Take a Chance series, is set in the southern part of the Jersey Shore, namely Atlantic City and Margate.

So what’s the giveaway on Freebie Friday? Be one of the first 30 people who leave the comment I WANT ONE on this post and I’ll send you an ARC of ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE. If you can, please leave a review and indicate that you received the book from the author in exchange for an honest review!

Now here is a little teaser for ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE!
