The morning after.
Wow was yesterday a wild ride. I’m running on two hours sleep so don’t worry if things get a little blurry it’ll be fine. *grin* I’m still bouncing off the walls and grinning from ear to ear. Not sure how long I can sustain this kind of energy but I’ll deal with that when I have to.
Don’t forget to head over to Christine d’Abo’s blog for her Ten For Ten Plus One blog contest. Today’s guest is my fellow release day author KB Alan. Remember, leave a comment to win a prize.

Gotta love a cowboy!
Oh yeah, there’s just something about a cowboy…..
Now these guys are nice but I’ve got a hotter one for ya. My good friend Viv has her latest cowboy hitting the bookshelves this week. Yep, you can bet your ass I’ve read it and you can bet your ass Daniel is one hawt cowboy. And Beth? Well she’s the perfect heroine for Daniel seeing how there isn’t a machine that can magically zap me onto the pages of Rocky Mountain Haven.
Rocky Mountain Haven by Vivian Arend
Welcome to the Six Pack Ranch, where learning to live again takes some sensual twists.
Beth Danube has escaped to a small Alberta town to make a new start for herself and her three little boys. Her emotionally abusive husband may be dead and buried, but so is her heart. What she doesn’t want is another man in her life—not now, maybe not ever. Yet when her libido reawakens after ten years of unsatisfactory sex in the missionary position is any woman strong enough to turn down sex-in-boots, Daniel Coleman?
The middle child of the rowdy Coleman boys, Daniel’s the quiet one who has always subdued his desires and acted as peacemaker. His powerful attraction to the young widow takes him by storm, and he’s willing to pursue her until they both find satisfaction—in and out of the bedroom.
Only Beth isn’t sure she’s ready to cross the line. Becoming friends with blazing hot benefits means she’s still the one in control. Letting her heart trust again? She isn’t that brave—or foolish. Daniel is going to have to be mighty convincing to help her overcome the past.
E-book shopping
One place I shop for my e-books is My Bookstore and More. Mainly because it’s where you get all the great books published by Samhain Publishing but they’ve been adding other publishers to their list for a while now and last week they closed their doors for a little….redecorating. Well they threw those doors back open today and let me say I’m loving the look. Now to test out the new shopping cart. *grin*
Don’t be shy, check out the new improved My Bookstore and More.

Oh and while you’re there get Vivian Arend’s latest Granite Lake Wolves book Wolf Games.
True love’s path never did run smooth.
Granite Lake Wolves, Book 3
After seven years of total denial, Maggie Raynor’s body—and her inner wolf—are in full revolt. Weak and shaky, she literally falls into the very large and capable arms of the Granite Lake Beta, Erik Costanov. The last thing she wants is a mate, particularly when just looking at another wolf scares her to death. And one as big and sexy as Erik? Really bad idea, no matter what her libido says.
Erik expected to meet Maggie in Whitehorse to escort her to the home of her sister, his pack’s Omega. Sheer chance puts him in the right place at the right time to catch her, but the realization that hits him with the force of a full body shot is no accident. She’s his mate. An even bigger shock? She wants no part of him—not until she resolves her issues.
She’ll have to work fast, because they’re both selected to represent the pack during the premier sporting event for wolves in the north. Not only will she have to work as a team with Erik, she’ll have to face down her fear of wolves. Let the Games begin.
Warning: Contains uber-sexy werewolves of Russian descent, reluctant mates and exotic travels through the Yukon wilderness. Includes sarcasm and hot nookie under the Midnight Sun.

New Release!
Wow! March is starting off with a bang for great new releases. We had Jambrea Jo Jones on Monday, Jayne Rylon on Tuesday and now it’s J.R. Patrick with her very first release! Woot J.R.! I love it when I get to be in on the beginning of a story and see it find a home and get published. J.R. allowed me and the rest of the International Heat girls to read this wonderful m/m romance and I was thrilled to help her polish it up ready for submission (not that there was much polishing needed, it sparkled from the start). And now it’s here!
Congrats J.R.!!

Releasing today is Dream Machine by Jayne Rylon.
The best dreams are made of naughty and spice.
Rebecca Williams is about to achieve her goal of graduating from a prestigious university and winning a coveted spot in her mentor’s cutting-edge psychology practice. She just needs one more qualification: sexual experience. She never dreamed it would come at the hands of the man she’s admired and wanted for six years. Dr. Kurt Foster.
Kurt, a brilliant psychologist in the field of sexual therapy, is a scientist to the core. Attraction and lust are nothing more than chemical reactions, in his clinical opinion. Love? It’s just a figment of the imagination born of nature’s directives. He’s on the brink of proving it with a new machine that uncovers latent desires.
In short order, Becca’s forbidden lust for her boss is exposed. As Kurt continues to enlighten her on the darker facets of her sexuality, the student unexpectedly becomes the teacher.
And suddenly Kurt is confronted with the irrefutable proof that love is so much more than a societal construction.
Warning: This book is only suitable for readers who are turned on by hot doctors engaging in sexual experiments, bondage, ménage a trois, exhibitionism, suspension, anal sex and other deviant behavior using mechanical stimulation devices they’ve invented to make your wildest dreams come true.

My good friend and fellow International Heat author, Jambrea Jo Jones has a new release today. Stealing My Heart is an anthology of short stories releasing from Total-e-bound Publishing. This one is a little more special than most, all the proceeds from the sale of this book are going towards the fight against illegal downloading of e-books. It’s a sad fact that some people think it’s okay to offer their e-books to others for downloading. Nicole Austin has a great article on this HERE. I’m planning to buy a copy of this book and giving it away in the next few days. This living in the future can really suck when it comes to release days, it’s already after 5pm but as Total-e-bound is a British publisher they’re behind me in time zones and it’s not available yet. *sigh*
Edited to add:- It’s live! Go HERE to get Stealing My heart
I’ll post here as soon as I buy Stealing My Heart and let you all know how you can enter to win it.
Be it in another time, another dimension, or another world, the authors of the Stealing My Heart Anthology will take you away to a world where male/male love and passion reign.

Michael’s life turns in a new direction when a stranger enters his home and the urge to protect the thief overcomes his common sense. He knows he should be angry but who can resist a thief that looks like an angel?
Stolen Memories by Carol Lynne
On the eve of his mother’s funeral, Aden Brousseau met Victor DePasse for the first time. For years his mother had warned him to stay away from the dark-haired neighbour, but on that particular evening, Aden hadn’t listened. He’d been fascinated with the handsome man since the day he’d overheard his mother and grandfather refer to Victor as a vampire.
Now, twenty years later, Aden once again is in the presence of Victor DePasse. Only this time he’s older and knows exactly what he wants.
After years of visiting his charge in his dreams, Victor suddenly has the man he’s fallen in love with in front of him. Does he defy his orders and make Aden his, or does he obey and give Aden up to his destiny?
Hotwired Heart by Jaime Samms
A good car thief needs sixty seconds, but grand theft heart might take even less time than that.
Freedom and trust; opposite sides of the same coin that could give expert car thief, Marky, the win he’s looking for. Little does he know escaping his gang ties will lead him through heartbreak and into cuffs he hadn’t even thought to watch out for. Now he can trust the powerful man who wants to help, or he can keep running.
It all depends on how much he values his freedom, and whether or not Roland has managed the impossible; hijacking Marky’s carefully guarded heart.
Dragon’s Eye by Stephani Hecht
After a decade of living under the iron rule of a sorcerer, dragon shifter, Duncan Moore finally has his chance for freedom. With his former master dead, all Duncan has to do is steal the very thing that has been holding him captive all these years, his dragon’s eye. The stone holds his magic and his dragon self and without it, he can never go home again.
What should be an easy theft turns complicated when he finds that someone has beat him to the eye and he has no idea where it could be. To add to things he suddenly finds himself teamed up with the dead sorcerers’ son, Trent. For years Duncan has longed for Trent, but had never dared act on his desires. Then one night of passion between the men changes everything and Duncan realises that he could lose something far more valuable than his dragon’s eye, he could lose Trent.
Will Duncan be able to save them both? Or will he have to make the ultimate sacrifice?
The Magic Thieves by Serena Yates
Elryk Muyd’omir is the most powerful lightning wizard born on Tah’Nut in two hundred years and a pacifist. When he refuses to co-operate with the illegally ruling Xoh’kas family they torture and kill his lover. Rather than risking the death of thousands by losing control over his lightning magic in his rage, he flees to Earth—a place without magic. When the gateway that connects Tah’Nut to other worlds opens Elryk knows that the Law Forces have found him. It is time to either face cruel punishment or fight.
Kaythan Vs’urr is a Law Force Commander who is sent to retrieve the criminal wizard Elryk. He is expected to return him to Tah’Nut for ‘reprogramming’. Secretly disgusted with the Xoh’kas’ lack of determination to stop the magic thieves, he has decided to win Elryk for his plan of defeating them. All they need to do is find the fabled Magic Shield to prevent further thievery.
Can Elryk trust the gorgeous Law Commander who wants his help? Will the two men be able to work together to defeat the Xoh’kas and eliminate the magic thieves?
Stealing Rain by A.J. Llewellyn and D.J. Manly
In the not too distant future, water becomes so scarce the hunt is on for any drop on other planets. Drew and Trace, former lovers find that love, not just rain, is high at any price.
Drew Lecour was once the pride of the military, until he’d decided to leave the federation and became a rogue, selling water to the highest bidder. Trace had a history with Drew, one that involved some hot sex and broken promises. And now, after not seeing him for years, Drew and his crew suddenly show up on a planet Trace has been contracted to protect, a planet where Drew is set to drill for water.
Trace doesn’t have a choice. He has to defend the water supply. His men are waiting for their leader to give the order to kill, but he can’t bring himself to do that. So he confiscates Drew’s equipment and takes him prisoner; but having Drew naked and at his mercy proves far more challenging than he’d anticipated, and then, there are others forces at play.
Don’t forget to check back for details on how to win Stealing My Heart.
Two great new releases!
Two of my very good friends, Nicole Austin and Jayne Rylon, have new releases this week. They’re both out at Ellora’s Cave. I’ve had the pleasure of reading both and let me tell you it’s money well spent if you pick these up.
Cat’s Meow by Nicole Austin
Predators, Book One
Micah Lasiter won’t let age or physical wear and tear slow him down. Presented with the chance to be stronger than ever before, he doesn’t hesitate to join the Predator Project—not that refusing is an option. Too bad nobody warned him about the possible side effects.
Dr. Rebecca Southerby works with cats. Big cats. She’s not sure why a scientific research organization wants a zoologist on staff but the great perks make it easy to overlook a few peculiarities. What’s shocking is finding her one-night stand at the secret lab and discovering how much he’s changed.
Ensnared in a strange new reality, they’ll have to work together to bring down the corrupt organization and untangle a web of secrets with the power to either bind them together—or kill them.
Phoenix Incantation by Jayne Rylon
Amystia didn’t think anything could be hotter than five-thousand wild years of passion with the most powerful vampire on Earth. Then she and her mate, King Dagan, began a steamy affair with his closest advisor. Threesomes with her two lovers were never supposed to be more than fun but, somehow, both her and Dagan’s feelings have blossomed into something deeper than respect and friendship for Warren.
As they are on the cusp of proposing a more permanent relationship, a terrible accident destroys all plans for the future. Dagan’s life hangs in the balance. In a desperate bid to save him, Amystia and Warren invoke ancient magic through a steamy ritual. If they fail, they’ll all be doomed to eternal darkness. If they succeed, can their eternal love rise from the ashes?
Release day!!
Yes, it’s here. The second story in my Passport To Passion Collection is available now from Noble Romance Publishing.
New Releases!!
OMG! Can you hear my credit card screaming?? August 4th was a bad day for the book budget. *sigh* Oh well, who cares! LOL
So August 4th saw my CP, Mari Carr, release her first print book with Samhain Publishing. Yay Mari! My close friends and fellow International Heat members, Jayne Rylon and Jess Dee saw their novellas released in the Three’s Company Anthology from Samhain Publishing AND my good friend Annmarie McKenna’s novella Bridging The Gap also released from Samhain Publishing. Good thing all these great books were in one place. Let’s start with Annmarie’s book, which I read last night and couldn’t put down!
Bridging The Gap by Annmarie McKenna
The higher she climbs, the harder he falls…
Carter Malone is usually the first one to make tracks before a woman starts getting any ideas. Permanent relationships don’t fit into his personal blueprint. Now, for the first time in his life, he’s burning up the sheets with a woman who makes him think about something more permanent…like spending the night. But she’s holding something back, something he can’t quite pin down.
As a woman in a man’s world, Ryan Cooper is used to wearing a target on her back—and hiding her vulnerabilities. She hasn’t let anything, not even the ever-present threat of an epileptic seizure, stop her from working her butt off to get the foreman’s job with her stepfather’s construction company. Then she discovers the guy she’s been dating—okay, having the hottest sex of her life with—is the architect who designed the building she’ll be overseeing. The last thing she needs is anyone thinking she slept with Carter to get the job.
Or worse, feeling sorry for her.
Before the dust clears, things get a lot more complicated. The previous foreman’s injury was no accident, and whoever caused it is taking aim—at the target on Ryan’s back.
Warning: This book contains almost fully clothed sex with a little bit o’ spanking on an OCD-clean desk inside a construction trailer, a rogue set of pencils that just won’t take stay for an answer, and sweet loving in a tub.
There’s nothing hotter than a forbidden fantasy come true…
Tequila Truth (click on title to purchase individual novella)
The rules of Tequila Truth are simple. Shots are poured, a question asked, and only absolute truth can be the answer. Kylie Halston has been playing the game with her roommates, Colt and Heath, since college.
Then an innocent question forces Kylie to reveal her hottest fantasy—a ménage a trois with two men, complete with bondage and a bit of spanking for good measure. Colt and Heath are only too willing to make Kylie’s fantasies come true. The only question is, come Monday, will their platonic relationship survive the passion?
Erotic Research (click on title to purchase individual novella)
Romance writer Julia Martin tells herself her pizza “dates” with her too-hot-for-words editor, Ross Philips, are more than enough for her. Ross has secretly lusted after his shy best friend for years, but fears his strong sexual desires would be too much for her.
When her cat dies and her depression halts her writing, Ross suggests a change to bring her out of her doldrums—try writing erotica. And, being such a good friend and editor, he even offers to help with her research.
Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, spanking, bondage, ménage, graphic language and all sorts of fun stuff.
Three’s Company by Jess Dee, Jayne Rylon & Lorelei James
A Question of Trust by Jess Dee (click on title to purchase individual novella)
Gabriel fulfills every one of Madeline’s sexual fantasies. Until he introduces her to his best friend, Connor. Suddenly Maddie’s horizons are expanding in a whole new direction that breaks all the rules.
Nice and Naughty by Jayne Rylon (click on title to purchase individual novella)
Alexa limits her adrenaline rushes to boardroom negotiations—until she indulges in a high-octane encounter on the hood of her sports car. Justin is supposed to be just a refreshing summer affair, but he’s called for the kind of backup that shifts the odds in love’s favor.
Wicked Garden by Lorelei James (click on title to purchase individual novella)
Billy ran out on Eden the night of prom. Now he’s back and she’s hoping a fling will finally untangle him from her past. She hadn’t counted on his wicked side—or the return of old lover Jon—to appeal so strongly to her dark, hidden desires.
Warning: This book contains m-f-m passion, anal play, smoking hot brothers for double the trouble and double the fun, creative use of a weight bench and bonding over bondage.
Well, what you waiting for? Go abuse that credit card.
