#TeaserTuesday Sexy Excerpt from STAY THE NIGHT in the BE MINE Erotic Romance Box Set

WOO HOO it’s release day for the BE MINE Erotic Romance Box Set! So so exciting! Since it’s Teaser Tuesday, I’ve got a sexy excerpt for you from STAY THE NIGHT.

As I’ve mentioned, STAY THE NIGHT is my reunion story that is included in BE MINE. The story is about sexy Navy Seal Rafe Castillo who is home from war and afraid that his wife has become someone he doesn’t recognize any more and worse, who might not want him any more. His wife, Elena, is totally in love with him but is afraid that since they got married because she was pregnant, Rafe might not want to stay in their marriage.

When doubts arise in both of them, Elena asks Rafe to stay the night and see if the love they once shared can be rekindled. This is a sexy and emotional story and I hope you’ll enjoy it and this excerpt.

WARNING – This excerpt is extremely hot and only for Mature audiences.

#TeaserTuesday #Marie250 Carrying His Secret

I wanted to take today to congratulate one of my writing colleagues, Marie Ferrarella, on the publication of her 250th book for Harlequin. Marie and I have participated in a number of continuity series for Silhouette Romantic Suspense and I’m so so happy for her.

Today’s Teaser Tuesday is a glimpse into #250, Carrying His Secret. Here’s a little blurb for it:

FAMILY SECRETS… For years, Elizabeth Shelton kept her attraction to Whit Adair hidden. But when one explosive night with the gorgeous tycoon leaves her pregnant, it’s not just her heart that’s at risk. Because the Adair family have been targeted by a killer… and Elizabeth is next on their list. When Whit learns of the danger Elizabeth is in, he immediately whisks her away to his ranch, the only place where he can keep this beautiful, vulnerable woman safe. And, once he learns that Elizabeth is carrying his child, Whit knows that he’ll defend their future… whatever it takes.

#ThrowbackThursday My Lucky 7 Ladies & a new release!

I truly believe that one God closes one door, he opens another. In my case, it wasn’t really a fully closed door, but God kind of nudging me to do something different. That happened many years ago after the birth of my daughter which led me to becoming a writer.

In 2012 it was going to a fabulous retreat in South Carolina where I was introduced to a number of ladies who were taking a different path in their writing careers, namely indie publishing. I’d been thinking about doing that for some time, especially since I had books to which the rights had reverted. I also had ideas for some novellas that I knew would be hard to sell in the traditional world.

I started by getting back the rights to several of my early contemporary novels. From there I worked on getting them ready for release and also, writing some new stories. The next big step was getting together with some friends to try out the new box set craze and the result of that was the very successful Lucky 7 Bad Boys Box Set.

Thank you all for embracing that set and making it a NY Times and USA Today bestseller! We could not have done that without your support and it is truly appreciated.

Here is a picture of some of my Lucky 7 writing buddies. This picture was taken when we were all together for the Romantic Times Convention in New Orleans. It was so awesome to get to spend time with them since most of our communications were via phone or electronic.

From left to right, that’s me, Virna DePaul, Susan Hatler and Sophia Knightly. I’ve actually known Sophia for nearly 15 years since we used to write for the same line at one time. It is awesome to be able to work with her again as well as all the other fabulous Lucky 7 Ladies.

The box set includes seven contemporary romance novellas that range from sexy to sweet and have all kinds of interesting bachelor heroes! The set is specially priced at 99 cents and is now available for pre-order. You can get it here:

#ManCandyMonday Bradley Cooper in American Sniper

It’s been a crazy couple of months with the holidays and work and writing obligations. Since Saturday was a rainy and dreary day, my hubby and I decided we were going to go to the movies, especially since there was one movie we both really wanted to see: American Sniper. We had actually wanted to go on Friday night, but it was sold out. We weren’t the only ones interested in going. The movie added another 64.4 million in box office sales to last week’s 107 million dollar take. Since release, it’s made nearly 200 million dollars.

Why the interest? Well, for me it was to maybe learn more about Chris Kyle, America’s deadliest sniper and a man who by all accounts was multi-faceted and a hero. He died trying to help a fellow veteran and earned both Silver Stars and Bronze Stars during his military service. If you want to find out more about Chris Kyle, click here for a well-rounded article. Why do I say “wel-rounded”?

There are those who will decry both Kyle and the movie. All I can say is that I thought the movie was thought-provoking and sad. You all know I support our military and that I’m as patriotic as can be. I went into the movie with those sentiments and I left the movie with those sentiments. War is hell and the movie shows that. God bless those who brave that hell for us.

I have to say that Bradley Cooper has surprised me yet again. He’s far beefier in the movie than in Silver Linings Playbook or his other movies. He looks a lot like Chris Kyle with the addition of a neatly trimmed beard. The transformation is amazing as was Bradley’s acting. For that, I’ve chosen him as today’s Man Candy!

#ManCandyMonday Nicholas Hoult

The other day I finally got around to watching Warm Bodies. Loved it! An interesting premise that was really well done. The zombie hero was really really adorable and quite cute, even in zombie mode. If you haven’t seen it, you really must watch it.

Imagine my surprise when that same cutie showed up in the latest Jaguar commercials. There is just something sexy nerdy about him that I can’t resist. So here’s Nicholas Hoult, hero from Warm Bodies, and the bad boy in the Jaguar commercials.

If you can’t see the ad below, click here to see the Nicholas Hoult Jaguar commercial.

Here’s another fun thing from the Warm Bodies Facebook page!
