I entered all names in a hat and had The Kid pull one out and the winner is…….

Stacie D

Congrats Stacie. I’ll be emailing you about your prize. And thanks to everyone for entering.

Rhian

I want to say a big thank you to all my reader and writer friends who helped me shout out Truth or Dare’s release. It was my tenth ebook release and I’m thrilled to have finally hit that mark. Of course I already have releases eleven and twelve signed so I’m on my way to the next ten.

I can’t thank everyone enough for making yesterday so special but I have to send a huge THANK YOU to Lexxie Couper. Without Lexx the Party Games series wouldn’t be as great as it is and I wouldn’t have had anywhere near as much fun writing these books if I’d done them on my own. We’re putting the final touches on the last two books and it’s a little sad to say goodbye to all the great character. So sad that we’ve talked about more books but as we’re both tied up in other projects at the moment they’ll have to wait.

So what’s the contest? Simple, leave a comment here on the blog telling me what your all time favorite series is and you’re name will go in the hat to win your choice of one download of any of my backlist. Also, if you follow me on Twitter or like my Facebook page you’ll get an extra entry for each. I’ll leave the contest open for three days.

Now I can’t leave you without giving you another peek at Truth or Dare

Daring to tell the truth will change the rules of this game forever.

Party Games, Book 2

When her friend deserts her at an exclusive Sydney house party, Miki Drummond retreats to a corner to observe the insanity. Watching life go by is something she does well, especially after the hell her marriage put her through.

She never dreamed she’d reconnect with not one but two blasts from her high school past. And she never expected their heated gazes to bring her body so easily back to life.

Grant Rogers and Dayne Pierce never forgot Miki. Ever. Past experience tells them to tread slowly and carefully, but that plan flies out the window when they’re all dragged into a game of Truth or Dare. Something’s up, because Miki repeatedly chooses to take a shot rather than reveal her obvious pain. Time after time.

Waking up hungover in a strange bedroom, Miki is caught in an electrically charged moment with two men who offer her unimaginable pleasure, who seem determined to keep her suspended in sweet torment—permanently.

One night of pure fantasy is all Miki dares to take, but come morning the hard truth is that walking away isn’t an option.

Product Warnings: The author cannot be held responsible for any truth you may tell or dare you make take after reading this story. And if you find yourself sandwiched between two hunky men…take the dare.

Miki rolled over with a groan, her whole body throbbed like a rock band at Big Day Out. Her mouth was dry and her tongue and lips felt swollen. Her eyes refused to open, the heavy weight of her lids too much for her tired muscles to lift. Every part of her ached like she’d been run over by the nine-fifteen train. Lying perfectly still, she tried to focus on where she was and recall what the hell she’d done the night before that might warrant such agony this morning, but the last thing Miki remembered was sitting down with Dayne and Grant—

Air rushed into her lungs on a harsh gasp.

She hadn’t?

The muffled snore that came from Miki’s left made her flinch. She didn’t move, didn’t breathe. Squeezing her eyes tight on the memories now flooding her mind, she hoped it was all a drunken dream and dared to wish it wasn’t. A snore tore through the room on her right and Mikaila cringed. One eye popped open and she turned her head first left, then right, a quick glance on either side before squeezing both eyes closed so tight she could feel the sting of tears.

Oh my God, she had.

Her heart raced and she struggled to draw in a breath. Heat crawled up her face, no doubt the accompanying red tinge with it. Could she be any more mortified? Miki tried to calm herself. Both her bed buddies were sleeping soundly if their snoring was anything to go by, so all she had to do was slip out from between them, grab her clothes and make a run for it. Easier said than done when she had no idea where her clothes had ended up. She swallowed over the lump in her throat, and as slow as possible so as not to shake the bed, she inched her way down the mattress.

The blankets had long since been pushed from the bed so nothing obstructed her progress until she got about halfway. Dizziness stopped her. Miki gasped for air. She hadn’t realized she’d been holding her breath. It was the second gust of oxygen to her lungs that threatened to bring her undone. Breathing through her nose coated her nostrils with the scent of hot male flesh and sex. Her insides clenched and moisture pooled in her pussy, seeped out to cover her folds. She licked her lips, the taste of them still on her tongue. Memories of what they’d done were fresh in her mind and sent lust licking through her veins.

Her pulse sped up with renewed arousal. How she could possibly be horny after all they’d done was beyond her, but that was the least of her worries. She needed to get out of here. Away from the enticing scent of Dayne and Grant before she did something stupid like crawl back up the bed and wake them. Wriggling until her arse hit the edge of the mattress and her feet touched the floor, Miki paused, waited to see if her movements had woken either man. When neither stirred, she pushed herself upright and looked around for her clothes.

Her underwear lay about five feet away but there was no sign of her bra or dress. Miki picked up a blanket from the mess of bedclothes on the floor and wrapped it around her shoulders. She tip-toed to her undies and scooped them up. Balling them in her hand, she surveyed the room once more before remembering they’d removed her dress in the other room. Deciding to go without her bra, she padded her way to the door and slipped out into the hall. She quickened her pace as she headed for the movie room. Once inside, she dropped the blanket and pulled on her dress and panties.

It wasn’t until she reached the front door that Miki realised she had no shoes and Frankie had her house key and money. Backtracking to look for a phone, she tried not to make any noise. The last thing she wanted was to get caught sneaking out of the house like a thief. Spying a phone on the kitchen wall, she raced over, lifted the receiver and dialled Frankie’s home number.

“Come on, come on. Pick up, Frankie.”

After the tenth ring, Mikaila gave up and tried Frankie’s cell. Again there was no answer, and when voice mail kicked in Miki hung up. What the hell would she say? Come get me, I’m at Dayne and Grant’s place ’cause I spent the morning having the best sex of my life with two men I’ve secretly lusted after since high school? Frankie would probably whoop for joy and pat her on the back. Miki closed her eyes and leaned her forehead against the wall, the last twelve hours replaying in her mind. Taking deep breaths, she struggled to understand what she’d done and why she thought sneaking out this morning was such a good idea.

She’d never dreamed being with them would be so good. All her fantasies paled into nothing when compared to the real thing. There’d been no awkwardness either, their love making, no, the sex had been natural, as if the three of them had done it a million times before. And the orgasms had blown every other climax she’d ever had out of the water too. Everything about their night together was perfect, so why was she running this morning?

Both Grant and Dayne had told her they wanted more than one night, but she didn’t know what that entailed or if she wanted to know. The thought of not seeing them again had her chest tightening and her stomach cramping, but could they turn fantasy into reality? She’d never run from anything in the past, never been a quitter. Her long drawn-out marriage was proof of that. If last night had been a mistake then she’d face it and move on. And if not, she’d deal with the hurdles that came her way, but there was no way she would be a coward and run.

Mikaila pushed off the wall and turned in the direction of the hall. It was time to tell some truths and possibly take the biggest dare of her life.
