13 years agoMy short m/m romance, Prep Work, is just out at Dreamspinner!
Celebrity chef Jude Marshall’s ditched his camera crew for the first time in a month—he’s been eating his way through local cuisines on several continents for his television show. No spider-on-a-stick this trip, thank God. Jude’s exhausted; all he wants on his London layover is a pint of beer and some comfort food. Stumbling into a gastro-pub, Jude instead finds haute cuisine; his grumbles bring him face to face with chef—and fan—Tommy Bell.
When Jude steps into the kitchen to autograph Tommy’s copy of his cookbook, he finds himself lending a hand, and discovers it’s possible to tenderize a hardened heart.

13 years agoMy sweet romance, Waiting for Mary Elizabeth, was released on August 22 by Whimsical Publications.
Gregory is a world renown artist, drop-dead gorgeous and sincerely believes a promise should never be broken. At the age of twelve he promised to wait on four year old Mary Elizabeth to grow up. Every day of his life since then has revolved around keeping that promise. Now the time has finally arrived to discover if she still wants to marry him.
While Mary Elizabeth doesn’t believe in fairy tales, she believes in Gregory. Her parents keep insisting he won’t come for her, but she knows he will. At four years of age her young heart recognized the person it belonged to. But just when she thought her perfect future was coming true, a spiteful adversary caused her to doubt Gregory’s sincerity. Now the future doesn’t seem quite so bright or certain. Gregory and Mary Elizabeth will have to overcome many obstacles in order to stop waiting and to finally begin living and loving.
Excerpt
They stood at the gym entrance for a moment before finally sitting on the top step of the gym landing. They sat on opposite sides of the railing.
After a moment of silence, Gregory grinned through the railing. “Well, here we are. It isn’t exactly how I thought our first meeting would go.”
A fluttering in her chest made it hard to breathe, but she somehow managed to smile in return. “How did you think it would go?”
He leaned backward until both elbows rested on the cold, concrete flooring. “I thought I would ask about your life and then I would tell you about mine.” He shifted his weight. “I wanted to ask about your future plans.” He leaned over slightly and grinned. “What are your plans for after graduation?”
The way he studied her mouth made it difficult to concentrate. “I want to open my own floral shop, but my parents want me go to the university to study business. They think I should understand business first before I rush into ownership of a shop.”
He gave the tips of his shoes some serious consideration before finally nodding. “That sounds like wise advice.”
A comfortable silence surrounded them. Mary Elizabeth leaned on the railing and finally broke the silence. “Why are you really here?”
He sat up, leaned forward, and wrapped both arms around his knees. “I needed to know you still wanted me to wait for you.” He glanced over for a brief moment before looking back down at the steps. “You were very young when you asked.”
She wanted to reach and touch his hair. Just to see if it was as soft as it looked, but she resisted the urge. “Why have you kept your promise? Even my parents said you wouldn’t.”
He looked up and locked eyes with her. “But someone did expect me to. You did and I did. Did anyone else matter?”
She did reach over then and touched the sleeve of his shirt. “There’s more. Isn’t there?”
He completely covered her hand with his. “I wanted you to know that I believed you that day. It never mattered to me that no one else did. I did.” He gave a shy grin. “I want you to enjoy this time in high school and at the university. Don’t give up living just because you know where our journey ends.” He increased the pressure on her hand for a moment. “Promise me to do this, okay?”
She nodded.
He released her hand and stood. She stood as well.
“When I return, I don’t want you to have any doubts about if we belong together or not.”
Before any more could be said, the cab arrived behind her father’s car.
Gregory passed Mary Elizabeth at the bottom of the steps. She slipped his jacket off and handed it to him. When he reached over for it, his fingers lingered on the top of her hand in a final caress. The touch was so brief Mary Elizabeth would have thought she had imagined it, but he paused in mid step and smiled before continuing toward the cab.
They both stopped and looked at each other before opening their respective car doors.
I’ll wait for you if you’ll wait for me.
“I made you a promise. It is still just as good today as it was the day it was made. Enjoy your time here at school. Go study your business classes and then open your floral shop. I’ll be back soon.”
There were a million things she wanted to say.
“Is that a promise?”
“Yes, but this time, you have to give me a promise. You have to promise me to live and enjoy this time of your life.”
“How do I do that?”
“You take each day as it comes. You live each day as if it were your last day on earth.”
She could feel her father staring from inside the car, but the only person who mattered at that moment was Gregory. “I’ll try.”
He laughed. “You have to promise.”
His smile made her laugh as well.
“I will. I promise.”

Book #3 of the Hades Squad, Deviant Devil, releases today!
Here's the blurb:
Devil pulled the auction card from the envelope and read, “One blowjob in a private room. Condom mandatory. Touching only on my part."
The last person Devil expects to see in a BDSM club is the best friend of his buddy’s new wife, Jessica Blaine — the all-American, apple-pie woman he wants so badly it’s her face he's seen every orgasm for the last nine months.
Is she playing? Exploring? Tough; she’s on his turf now, she’s put herself up for auction, and by God she’s his for the night.
Jess is scared spitless. She’s going to suck off the man who may have killed Aung, the college student she mentors and who vanished three weeks earlier. When the wrong man, a masked stranger, wins the auction, she has no choice but to proceed. Horrified when she not only responds to the masked stranger, but climaxes, Jess flees.
Devil lets her go fully intending to reel her in. His way.

Keywords Demonic Paranormal, Horror, light BDSM,Molten heat
Short Excerpt -PG13
Kamaria rubbed her eyes and laid there thinking about her insane dream. It’d felt so damn real. Breaking out of the hospital her parents had chosen was impossible. Too many had tried only to be brought back in a straightjacket and be shoved into solitary and forgotten, a punishment for attempting to break hospital rules. The tiger seemed so real though and the man he morphed into made her mouth water. Sexual gratification during sleep made her ravenous. And that black specimen of a man, where the hell had he come from? Damn he had the most sensual lips she’d ever seen on a man and ripped muscles from head to toe. She groaned at the memory of him sliding into her body and how he’d locked her hands up above her head. A shiver of want zinged down her spine, pinking her cheeks. Fantasizing did her no good in her situation. With a yawn, she stretched her limbs and peeked an eye open. Since when did the hospital provide comfortable bedding instead of the flat pallet on a block of wood drilled into the floor?
The instant her eyes locked onto the pale blue color of the walls and the huge bay window framed by matching silk drapes she knew she wasn’t in her antiseptic sterile-scented hospital room.
Prickles of unease hit her immediately. Down-filled bedding and the massive mattress swallowed her the more she fought to sit up. And then the soreness hit. Kama brought her fingertips to her neck and felt the huge, now burning, mark on her throat. Gingerly she brought her hands to her breasts. Feeling the soft ache triggered the memory of her pagan god brushing his whiskers against her skin. Last night happened, and yet she was alone.
Scantily clad, she slipped out of the bed and moved across the soft, carpeted floor. The texture was so soft she could easily lay down on it and sleep.
Raised voices carried through the door of her room. She placed her hand on the ornate knob, pausing before opening, thinking she might need to wiggle through the window and run.
“I’m so sick of his games.” The familiar raspy voice hit her ears.
“What do you expect? Our leader did try to dethrone him.”
“Correction, our leader’s bratty daughter did that. And we’ve been paying for centuries.”
Kama jumped as wood and metal reverberated under her hands. His rage carried with each word he spoke.
“Makhi, control yourself! You have a very scared woman in need of comfort on the other side of that door. She’s about to be thrust into a world foreign to her. Your angst will not help her situation.”
Kama swore she heard his jaw crack in her mind and backed away from the door.
“Caedon. She was fucking starved, man. So starved, she could’ve died. How many more like her are there? What the fuck did our entire species do to earn the hell Azazel has put us through?”
So much pain laced his voice, and for her. The thought floored her. Why would he hurt for me?As much as she wanted to join them, she didn’t want to interrupt.
“Anarchy.”
“You’re not one of us, Caedon. You don’t feel it. It doesn’t affect you.”
“Makhi, you’re right–I’m not one of you. I don’t feel the isolation or the physical pain your species goes through when denied sustenance.
“What brings me pain is seeing them suffer, catching glimpses of the lost being caged, abused, knowing they’re confused, realizing I can’t find them unless they can send out a clear image. While the pain of their personal tragedy hits you when they arrive, I’ve felt the ramifications since their pubescent change. Not just one but multiple. How many are out there? I don’t know. Hundreds? Thousands? Maybe just a few. Once in a while they’ll bleep on my radar then disappear. While you and the others are able to provide your new mates with what they need, Fate doesn’t allow me the chance to bring them home on my time.”
“I had no idea you were an empath.”
“It sucks, but it’s the way of things. Go patrol. I’ll watch our woman. You’re whining like a little bitch. Demon up already.”

13 years agoHAPPY RELEASE DAY!! I now know how exciting that is — my historical western romantic suspense was released two weeks ago today, and that was fabulous! Enjoy and bask in the moment.

A murder arranged as a suicide … a missing deed … and a bereft daughter whose sheltered world is shattered.
August, 1869: Lily Granville is stunned by her father’s murder. Only one other person knows about a valuable California gold mine deed — both are now missing. Lily heads west on the newly opened transcontinental railroad, determined to track the killer. She soon realizes she is no longer the hunter but the prey.
As things progress from bad to worse, Lily is uncertain who to trust—the China-bound missionary who wants to marry her, or the wandering Texan who offers to protect her … for a price. Will Lily survive the journey and unexpected betrayal?
