Thank you contest!
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.

All Of You release day!
It’s here and I almost missed it. *grin* I’m sitting in a hotel room in Louisville, Kentucky. I’ll blog more on where I am and how I got here later but for now *drum roll* ALL OF YOU!
Only You series
Claire Jones never dreamed the fantasies she’d been having about the young guy next door would ever become reality, but after a push from her best friend and one encounter involving dirty laundry, she’s getting more reality than one woman should be allowed. But with reality comes emotion, and Claire finds herself falling deeper and deeper under Ryan’s spell.
Ryan Doherty wants in Claire’s pants, but he soon discovers hot sex isn’t all he’s after. She makes him happy in a way nothing and no one else ever has, and if he has to use their amazing chemistry to stay in her life, he will. Because having more of Claire isn’t an option. It’s the only choice.
Can Ryan and Claire bridge the age gap to find the love of a lifetime, or will what others think destroy the best thing either of them has ever found?
Excerpt:-
Chapter One
Claire Jones stared at her best friend of almost forty years and wondered when Jane had lost her mind. Then again maybe it was Claire who’d lost hers. Either that or her hearing had gone in the last two minutes. Surely she wasn’t that old. She’d be forty-two next birthday. At what age does the body start to break down?
Her fork hovered between mouth and plate, the bite of lobster forgotten. Jane had not said what Claire’s mind tried to convince her she’d heard. No, it had to be whatever had possessed Claire of late—the thing that had her fantasizing about her very sexy, very young, next-door neighbor.
Claire smiled. “For a second there, Jane, I thought you said I should fuck Ryan.” She popped the fork into her mouth and savored the delicate flavor combination of lobster, butter, and garlic as it exploded across her tongue.
Jane chewed the piece of steak she’d just put in her mouth and reached for her glass of wine. She swallowed and took a sip of the deep red liquid. Her wine coated tongue slid out to wet her lips before she spoke. “I did.”
The lobster caught in the back of Claire’s throat, choking her briefly. Her fork clattered to the plate, and she reached for her water in the hope it would ease the food down. She coughed and spluttered before the cool liquid moved the lump blocking her airway and brought soothing relief.
“What?” she croaked.
“You should fuck him.” Jane’s gaze was steady. “I’ve seen the way he eats you up with his eyes. He’s hot for you, and before you deny it, I know you’ve been having all sorts of interesting fantasies about him. You told me so yourself.”
The smug look on Jane’s face made Claire want to take back every word of that old conversation. She’d confided more than one of the steamy daydreams she’d been having in which Ryan played a starring role. Luckily, she hadn’t divulged the incredibly hot wet dreams she’d woken with every night for the last month. Her fantasizing had definitely become more frequent—more intense—in recent weeks.

Sunday in….happy dancing mode.
It’s a special Sunday in… this week. You see with Coyote Whispers releasing last Friday I was online checking Amazon to see if it had gone up there yet. Yeah, yeah, wishful thinking I know but still, it’s what us authors do. Now last week you’ll remember I was in the writing cave so I hadn’t ‘been’ anywhere so you can imagine my surprise when this book Coyote Hunger popped up under my search for new Ellora’s Cave titles. You can also imagine the squeal that I emitted when I noticed my name under it! OMG! I’ve been wishing and hoping and just about willing to sacrifice The Kid for the coyotes to go into print and there they were! Coyote Hunger is the print release of Coyote Run, Coyote Home & Coyote Wild and the cover is gorgeous. For some reason there’s no cover image on Amazon but there is over at Barnes & Noble which is where I bought my copy from. What? You don’t think we buy our own books? Hell, I buy every one of them just so I’m assured of one sale. LOL
Seriously, is that not the most gorgeous cover? Right now you can get it at Barnes & Noble and Amazon. In a few weeks it will release on the Ellora’s Cave site too. I was on my Author page on Facebook earlier when the lovely Mai informed me she’d ordered her copy last week! That will teach me to hide out in the writing cave. Of course I ordered my copy yesterday but it’ll take at least a week to get to me. 
Mai will get her’s first. *cries* Oh well, at least I know I’m not the only one that will buy it. LMAO Thank you to Mai for making my weekend. And thank you to all the readers who take the time to either tweet, facebook or email me about my stories. I love hearing from you. It puts a smile on my face and reminds me why all the hair pulling and fighting to get the words right is worth it.
Now let’s just sit back with a drink and enjoy that beautiful cover…….

Coyote Whispers Release Day
It’s out now! Coyote Whispers is the third book in the Coyote Hunger series and features Doc and Steve. This pair have been the most requested when readers have asked me about more book in the series so I hope you all enjoy finding out how they get to their happy-ever-after.
Book three in the Coyote Hunger series.
“Doc” Gordie has tried to keep Steve McKenna at arm’s length, but the sexy coyote shifter is under her skin, in her blood and in her heart. No matter how much she fears what he makes her feel, she can’t bear to stay away. After he rescues her from a vicious attack, Gordie is helpless to deny the sizzling attraction burning between them.
There hasn’t been a day Steve has not wanted Doc in his bed, but bruised and bloody is not what he had in mind. The need for revenge is riding his coyote—almost as much as his aching desire to finally claim Doc as his own. But that will have to wait. He must first convince Doc the safest place for her is by his side. When a second attack draws them together, suppressed needs explode, leaving no doubt where they both belong.
But danger is never far behind and Gordie is forced to make a fatal decision that could destroy all they’ve worked so hard to discover.
Excerpt:-
They spent the drive out of town in silence. Gordie didn’t mind. It gave her a few minutes to compose herself as the knowledge of what they’d be before this day was over began to sink in. This time the shiver that rolled down her spine had nothing to do with fear. The thought of finally touching Steve like she’d wanted to for so long sent heat shooting through her veins to pool in delicate flesh. Her breasts felt heavy, her sex swollen. Moisture soaked her panties and she had to admit, if only to herself, he made her want things she’d never imagined.
Steve pulled into the attached garage and switched off the engine. The silence seemed to echo around them, the air vibrated with the stillness and Gordie quivered as the power of the moment flowed over her. Once they stepped from the car nothing would be the same. No, the change had happened back at the clinic. When she’d needed Steve with a bone-deep ache that she’d registered even while consumed with fear. It was that one instant in time where the world had clicked into place and she’d seen the future as it should be.
In a second she’d gone from terrified and panicked to calm and centered. She knew what she had to do. Survive at any cost. Steve turned toward her, his forearm resting on the top of the steering wheel. He didn’t speak, just watched her with that penetrating gaze. The one that read all her innermost thoughts and made her feel all squirmy inside. No man had ever affected her the way he did and until today Gordie hadn’t thought herself capable of handling him. Now she knew differently.
“There’s no turning back now, Doc.” His fingers toyed with the ends of her hair.
She swallowed over the lump in her throat. “I know.”
He smiled. “That easy?”
“It’s amazing what a little fright can do for the senses.” She tried to return his smile but it somehow slipped from her lips before it could form.
“Come here.” Steve released her seatbelt and pulled her into his lap, pinning her between his body and the wheel. “You’re safe here, Doc.”
Gordie figured he meant in his house, but for her, safety was his arms, the security of his embrace and the strength he offered her willingly. She moved closer, nuzzled her face against the warmth of his neck and drew in his scent. It amazed her how just that small action could soothe her nerves and rile them at the same time.
“Gordie.” Warm air ruffled her hair before she felt his lips press to her temple. “Come on, let’s get inside or everyone will arrive and find us fucking in my truck.”
She gasped. His use of strong language didn’t bother her, it was the images the words provoked that made her breathless.
“Yeah, I’m that close.” He chuckled as he opened the door and maneuvered them out of the cab.
“I can walk.”
“I know, but I want to carry you and you’re going to let me.” His arms tightened around her.
“Okay.”
Steve laughed. “All this easy agreement is starting to worry me, Doc.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be back to my disagreeable self soon enough and then you’ll wish you hadn’t started this.”
“Never.”
“You say that now…”
He swung her legs down until her toes barely touched the ground and pressed her against the side of his truck. “I’ll say it forever.”
She stared into his dark eyes and felt the truth of his words to the depth of her soul. Gordie watched as Steve lowered his head, his lips drawing closer to hers. His breath brushed over her skin in a butter-soft caress, a whisper of contact, a prelude of what would follow. From one heartbeat to the next his mouth was on hers, his tongue thrusting between her lips to delve inside.
Steve stroked his tongue over hers, toyed with her, coaxed her into joining him in his demand for more. She wound her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, held on to him as hot lashes of lust struck her. Gordie pressed her body to his, crushed her breasts to his chest and ground her clit on the erection trapped between them. Pounding need thumped a beat as old as time as their mouths continued to devour.
On the verge of an orgasm, Gordie whimpered, the small sound swallowed as he drove the kiss deeper. His hands gripped her hips, pulling her tighter against his straining flesh and pressing into her clit with the perfect amount of pressure to send her into orbit. Convulsion after convulsion seized her. Moisture flooded her panties and the aroma of her arousal floated around them.
He eased back, lightened the strokes of his tongue, and slowed the thrust of his hips. As the final waves of her climax ebbed away he pulled his mouth from hers. Breathing hard, Steve tucked her head under his chin and held her. Gordie struggled to catch her breath and her heart beat hard enough to bruise her ribs.
“I think we should take this inside, Doc.”
Coyote Whispers is available from Ellora’s Cave and over the next few weeks should hit all other e-tailers.

Bondi Beach Boys out now!
Yay! I’m so excited about this novella. It’s my first menage release and I’m a little nervous about how it’ll be received. I loved writing the Sam, Nate and Piper’s story and I’m thrilled to see the boys available at last. So I guess I should tell ya about the book. *grin*
What’s a girl to do with two sexy Aussie surfers? Ride the waves, of course…
After weeks of lusting over a couple of hot surfers, Piper Doyle has the opportunity to turn fantasy into reality. There’s just one problem—they’re her new clients. When the men offer a no-strings-attached affair, Piper has a decision to make, one her body made for her weeks ago when she first started watching “her boys.” She can’t risk the job that could make or break her career, but she sure as hell isn’t going to pass up this chance to live out her wildest dreams…
Sam Bridges and Nate Russo share everything, from their home to their business to the occasional woman. Even themselves. But they’ve never shared what they feel for Piper. What starts out as hot sex with a willing woman turns into something none of them expected—but what’s wrong with a few strings on a hot summer day at the beach…
Warnings: This book contains graphic sexual content that some readers may find objectionable (including ménage a trios with male/male sex, anal sex)
Excerpt
She turned and slammed straight into a wall of hard muscle. Air rushed from her lungs at the impact, warmth surrounded her, enclosed her in a fiery grip that sucked every last atom of oxygen from her body. Strong arms banded around her, and Piper went soft and melted like chocolate on a hot summer day. She leaned in, pressed her breasts against the solid chest, and moaned.
“Piper.”
Her name, whispered against her ear, flowed over her. Like warm honey, it coated her skin and sent heat bursting through her veins, teasing every nerve ending. A shiver started in her curled toes and traveled up. Up, up, up, striking at sensitive places with a rush of arousal and need. Desire and want like none she’d known tore open the cage of restraint. She pressed closer, ran her hands over cloth-covered muscles that shuddered beneath her touch. An answering tremor vibrated down her spine.
Hands curled around her ribs, pushed between them, and cupped her breasts as delicious heat covered her back. Piper arched, thrusting her tender mounds and taut nipples into waiting fingers. Lips skimmed her jaw, teeth nipping at her skin. She moved her head to the side at the nudge of a nose and was treated to delicate licks and sucks along the column of her throat.
“So responsive.”
“So sweet.”
It took a moment for the twin comments murmured against her jaw and neck to register, but when they did, shock bloomed and panic erupted. Piper broke away, jumped from the embrace Nate and Sam held her in. Harsh breaths burned in her chest, scored at her throat, as she stared at the two men before her. How could she have allowed them to touch her like that? To stand between them as though it were the only place she should be?
“Oh God.” Piper brought her hands up to cover her face. She had no excuse for what she’d done, no explanation. Heat seared her face as embarrassment at her behavior flooded her, doing its best to drown the arousal still swimming in her blood. But nothing short of a tidal wave could douse the flames blazing inside her core. Pip spun on her heel, ready to bolt for the door, but she hadn’t taken two steps when she found herself once again caught between two hot male bodies.
Gasping and trembling, she buried her face against Nate’s soft cotton shirt and prayed for the ground to open up and swallow her whole. Why was there never a good sinkhole when you needed one? And why think about stupid holes in the ground when she was trapped between two of the most gorgeous men she’d ever met? Had she gone mad?

Read more for a super hot excerpt.
Coyote Run Release day
Coyote Run the prequel to Coyote Home and Coyote Wild is available from Ellora’s Cave now. This Quickie is a little different to most, while it is a romance it doesn’t have the one thing romances are known for. A happy ever after. And while I think it has a happy for now ending most would say not. The story takes place on the night Rowan is forced to flee the only home she’s ever known leaving behind her mate with no idea of when it will be safe for her to return. She and Quinn are committed to making it safe for Rowan to come home but neither is sure of when that might be and so they make one of the toughest decisions ever faced by two people in love.
Prequel to the Coyote Hunger series.
Forced to make the heartwrenching decision to leave Whispering Mountains, Rowan Wilder isn’t about to go without securing her bond with Quinn MacClellan. Neither expected their first time to be on the forest floor or while running to escape a madman but when it comes to claiming their mate, nothing can stop the hunger from burning out of control and consuming them both.
Publisher’s Note: This is not a standalone story; it has a cliffhanger ending. The next book in the series, Coyote Home, is needed to reach a satisfactory conclusion.
In honor of release day I’m giving away a copy to a lucky commenter. So comment away. *grin*
It's release day!
Available today from Ellora’s Cave!
Book two in the Coyote Hunger series.
Brogan Wilder knows all about animal urges. As a coyote shifter, he’s lived with them all his life but he’s never experienced the bone-deep hunger Eloise Crawford elicits. Claiming a mate is one thing. Claiming one who’s human and has no idea shifters exist is another matter altogether. In El, he’s found his destiny. Now he just has to convince her they are meant to be together.
A visit to help her best friend with wedding plans seems like just the kind of relaxation El is after. But once she arrives, there’s nothing relaxing about the reaction she has to her friend’s brother. Suddenly her senses are on high alert and she’s drawn to him in a way she finds nothing short of terrifying. But there’s more to this man than his golden eyes and magical touch. There’s something else. Something not exactly human.
Accepting her fate should have been the difficult part, but when El finds herself the target of an outraged pack member, the true struggle begins.

Anna left a lovely comment on my facebook status and she certainly pegged something that’s hinted at in bk 1 of the Coyote Hunger series. I wonder if others will see it too? Oh and she thinks Brogan’s hot. Good thing he’s now back with my editor getting the final touch-ups before Coyote Wild gets a release date. squeeee…..Can’t wait.
