Thursday Thirteen – Sexy Inspirations

162 Views

It's Cassandre Dayne here and since we're just a couple of days away from Christmas I thought I'd give you all the sexy inspirations that help me write.

1 Men – and I don't care what flavor they come in. I love them all

2 Music – everything from BonJovi to Evanescence

3 Movies – my personal favorite is True Blood

4 Fantasties – evey delicious thought in my head including a taste of BDSM

5 Passion – sharing with my significant other

6 Harleys – you heard me. I love everything to do with them and of course the bad boys who ride them

7 Sultry beaches – especially St. Maartin

8 Sexy clothes – my favorite store? Victoria's Secret

9 Wearing sensuous perfume – I don't start my day without it

10 Vampires – and not the sparkly kind either. Think Moonlight and True Blood

11 Red Wine – there's somethign that draws out my passion so easily

12 A sexy read – you know the kind that leaves you breathless

13 And my personal favorite – my Golden Retriever MacGyver. He reminds me every day why I love writing and always gives me comic inspiration.

I hope you enjoyed. Merry Christmas! Thank you to all my wonderful readers. May you have a joyous and safe holiday season sharing with your friends and family!

Kisses xxx

Midnight`s Temptation New Releases (January, 6th – 12th)An Alien for the Future by A.G. Wilde

Sci-Fi Romance, Alien Romance

Donna: I’ve been burned too many times to believe in fairy tales. So when this golden-eyed alien, Tovan, shows up claiming I’m his destined mate, I’m not buying it. Sure, he’s gorgeous and infuriatingly persistent, but I’ve got a farm to run and a life to live. I don’t need some whirlwind romance complicating things. So, why does my heart race every time he’s near?

Tovan: From the moment I saw her, I knew. Donna Johnson is my kahl, my destined mate. She’s everything I’ve ever wanted: strong, passionate, and beautifully stubborn. But she denies our connection, pushes me away at every turn. I must prove to her that our love is real, that we belong together. For without her, my life, my existence, will never be complete.

Use Me, Daddy by Sara Fields

Dark Mafia Romance

He’s not just my boss. He’s my daddy.

When Aleksei Morozov tilted my chin up with a single finger and kissed me, I slapped him like a good girl should when her new boss treats her like his property on her very first day on the job.

Then I spent the night fantasizing about him doing absolutely shameful things to me, and when he kissed me again the next day, I just knelt at his feet, undid his pants, and begged for what I needed.

By the time I found out he’s a bratva kingpin, he’d already made me his in every way.

Now I’m bare and bound to his bed, knowing I’m about to take it really, really hard.

The way a bad girl takes it from daddy.

The Mackenzie Chronicles by Brenda Whiteside
Book 1
2022 Winner of NEST (National Excellence in Story Telling) Suspense

Lies can haunt, but the truth will kill.

Magpie MacKenzie doesn’t believe in coincidence. But when a ringer for her long-dead love walks into her life the same day skeletal remains are unearthed, she’s convinced the universe is sending her a message. Fearing her father will be accused of the crime, Magpie will do whatever it takes to find the truth. Even risk her heart on this familiar stranger who may hold critical clues to the unsolved mystery.

While visiting purportedly haunted Joshua, Arizona, lawyer Zack Peartree is instantly drawn to the free-wheeling shopkeeper. His attraction propels him on a collision course between past and present, where digging up secrets could prove fatal.

Using decades-old clues and Zack’s déjà vu moments, the couple embark on a treacherous race to prove her father’s innocence before Magpie becomes the next victim. Can they save her from a murderous fate, or will love be the final casualty?

Book 2
2022 Maggie Finalist - Romantic Suspense & 2021 PRG Reviewers Choice Award Winner

The past never sleeps, and the truth never dies.

Phaedra is selling the house that has been in her family for decades. As her friends-to-lovers relationship with Harlan escalates, she’s forced to choose between her way of life or his, even though she risks losing him forever.

After a stranger comes to town, weaving her web of deception, hell-bent on correcting an old grievance connected to the house, dark revelations of the past implode the present. Harlan and Phaedra are plunged into a dangerous mystery, risking their love, their future, and their lives.

Changeling Press, LLC #Maddog by @marteekakarland - Who knew we’d get ambushed by the cartel on our way to a village deep in the Amazon jungle?

Holly: I was sick as a kid. Leukemia. Felt like someone always had to drop everything to take care of me. Hate being dependent on people now, so I try to do everything myself. When my best friend takes up with a creep and won’t believe me when I tell her something’s not right with the man, I decide it’s safer (for her) if I go with her on a trip to Columbia he’s organizing. Bad news: I’m right. Fortunately the most annoying man I’ve ever come to count on thinks it’s his job to rescue me. This time, I might just let him. And that’s where the trouble starts…

Jax: I’ve known Holly nearly all her life. I’ve been her protector and the person she wants most when things go horribly wrong, which they do, more often than not. To say we have a contentious relationship is an understatement. I put a claim on Holly she never accepted, but it’s time to force the issue. Not because she doesn’t love me. Because she’s afraid history is doomed to repeat itself. She’s wrong. I’ll always come for her when she needs me. Like it or not, Holly’s more than my responsibility. No matter the cost, she’s mine.

He thinks I`m a magnet for trouble. I`m going to prove him right.

Stryker-Challenge accepted

Glitter: Yes, that’s my real name. Born stripper name, I know. I’ve been on my own since I was 14. When I tried to get a job with Salvations Bane MC at their strip club, Salvation’s Angels, their security saw right through my fake ID. Lucky for me, the club sent me to Beach Fit, their fitness club, until I turned 18. Now I work at Angels, and the crowd here loves me. Stryker’s still looking out for me. For some reason he thinks I’m a magnet for trouble. Now that I’ve got his full attention, I know what I want, and I’m going to prove him right.

Stryker: We try our best to keep things at the club legit. Last thing we need is an underage dancer attracting too much attention. OK, so she’s legal now, has been for nearly two years, but that girl’s everything this old man doesn’t need -- and can’t afford. But there’s another club encroaching on our territory, setting up a BDSM club on the other side of town, as a front to run drugs. Now I’ve got word there’s even more going on at The Dark than drugs. I was right. And who do I find right in the middle of it but Glitter. Only, she’s not involved with the thugs at The Dark. She’s their prisoner -- a sub who has no idea what it means to be a sub, but she thinks she wants to learn. Challenge ’effin accepted.

WARNING: This book contains scenes of an intense physical relationship between an older man and a younger woman, as well as extreme, graphic violence. These men aren’t angels and neither are the women. They love as hard as they fight. As always, you can expect a HEA with No Cheating.

Shattering Dawn (The Lost Night Files Book 3) by Jayne Ann KrentzAmelia Rivers, a member of the Lost Night Files podcast team, hires private investigator Gideon Sweetwater to catch the stalker who has been watching her. Amelia suspects the stalker may be connected to the shadowy organization responsible for the night that she and her two friends lost to amnesia—a night that upended their lives and left them with paranormal talents.

Gideon suspects that Amelia is either paranoid or an outright con artist, but he can’t resist the chemistry between them. He takes the case despite his skepticism. For her part, Amelia has second thoughts about the wisdom of employing the mysterious Mr. Sweetwater. She is wary of the powerful attraction between them, and deeply uneasy about the nightmarish paintings on the walls of his home. She senses they were inspired by his own dreamscapes.

Amelia knows she doesn’t have time to find another investigator, and Gideon is forced to reckon with the truth when he disrupts what was intended to be Amelia’s kidnapping. Now the pair is on the run, with no choice but to return to the haunting ruins of the old hotel where Amelia’s lost night occurred. They are desperate to stop a killer and the people who are conducting illegal experiments with a dangerous drug that is designed to enhance psychic abilities. If they are to survive, they will have to trust each other and the passion that bonds them.

Forced Proximity (Bluebell House Duet Book 1) by Jaymin Eve & Tate JamesNew College. New Start. New Life.

Or at least a second chance at life after almost dying at my last school.

Meadowridge College was supposed to be a fresh start at the safest college in America. I`d be rubbing elbows with the elite of the world, while trying to complete my degree and find a path to a brighter future.

My trauma had other ideas though. When the panic attacks send me into the arms of a gorgeous stranger in the library, it sets off a chaotic chain of events that end with me being kicked out of my dorms and forced to live and renovate a rundown old house on the edge of campus.

With five of the schools richest, most arrogant, controlling men.

Men who are filled with secrets.

Secrets I was starting to think might be to do with me.

Being forced to share Bluebell House could turn enemies into friends, and maybe even lovers... but will we all make it out alive?

Though happy enough, Presti dreams of finding a man who accepts him as he is and loves him unconditionally.

A fated meeting throws them together. An attraction blooms, and a friendship begins. Distance keeps them apart, but destiny brings them together.

Through a trail of exposed secrets, false starts and unfathomable tragedy, James and Presti`s feelings for each other grow stronger. Does James have the courage to fight for his dream? Can Presti face the public scrutiny of being the plus one of the spare to the throne?

Surely, together, they can find their way to happiness/find their happily ever after.

She claimed that it was simply not possible for me to remain in the background after I’d burst onto the world stage in such a public way at my unusual birth.

I adored my best friend even if she did have an annoying tendency to be correct.

Though I attempted to move wraith-like through my days, I tended to stand out like a rainbow on a grey day. ...
