New Release: Breakfast in Bed

 

Breakfast in Bed

Lizbeth has set a challenge for herself—get down to her ideal weight by her fortieth birthday and then do something out of her comfort zone. Posing nude for a college art class is definitely out of her comfort zone, and the hot gaze of a young man in the front row has her confidence rising with every swipe of his brush on canvas.

In the twelve years since puberty hit, Emanuel has never had such a hard time hiding an erection. The final project in his senior art class is the worst place for it to happen, but with the woman laid out before him like a goddess it’s inevitable. And she is a goddess. Older than him by at least ten years, she wears her maturity like the finest jewels, enticing him more than any woman has in a long time.

A chance meeting puts Lizbeth in Emmanuel’s path, but then tragedy keeps her by his side. As they spend more time together and grow closer, she must decide if committing to a man nearly half her age is what she wants. Emmanuel is all in, or is he? Could it just be circumstances causing the intense feelings to rise so fast, or is it truly love?

Content warning: death of a family member.

Breakfast in Bed is part of my Sophisticated Women series, age-gap romances where the women are older than the men. It's currently available for preorder with a release date of August 16th: https://books2read.com/u/4XlD1a

New Release from Tina Donahue: Privilege

 

My friend and fellow author Tina Donahue has a new book out!

Privilege

The Valesky Crime Family Book 2

She’ll destroy the mobsters who murdered her brother... unless they kill her first.

District cop Lia Blosky warned her twin brother not to get involved with the Valesky Crime Family. He didn’t listen. Now, he’s dead, tortured horribly before mobsters murdered him. Out for blood, she’ll do anything to see these monsters dead.

FBI Special Agent Adrian Kalin is connected to the Valesky Family in a way he loathes and doesn’t want. His stepfather rules the syndicate and is tired of Lia threatening to kill him and others responsible for her brother’s death. To shut her up for good, he orders Adrian to murder her. Who better than an FBI agent who has no connection to her and knows how to hide evidence? Adrian resists, but if it comes down to saving Lia or his brothers and mother from Dimitri’s rage, he’ll have to choose family.

In a deadly game between each other and the mob, Lia and Adrian fight to survive... while also surrendering to their undeniable attraction to each other. 

This is book two in the Valesky Crime Family series, can be enjoyed independently and has an HEA.

Publisher’s Note: This contemporary dark mafia romance contains elements of mystery,

suspense, action, adventure, adult themes, and possible triggers for some readers.

New Year New Giveaway

Happy New Year! I know 2021 wasn't what we all hoped for, but it's time to start fresh with a new year. Here's hoping all of you have a better 2022. I wish for everyone to be healthier, happier, and more successful than last year. I'm hoping I get more writing done, eat less chocolate, and move around more. I'm not making actual resolutions though because honestly, I don't know that I'll keep to them past this weekend. But I'm hopeful. We'll see.

To start the New Year off right I'd like to give away some prizes. I am a huge fan of Jodi Thomas and Madeline Hunter and entered contests to win their books. Then, I thought the contests had ended with someone else winning and I bought the books. But behold, I actually did win a copy of each book! So, I'm giving away three prize boxes:

The first box has a new copy of Madeline Hunter's Heiress in Red Silk. It's an excellent historical romance, just as all her books are, and I highly recommend it. I'm also including a read copy of RaeAnne Thayne's Riverbend Road, a coffee mug, and one of my goody bags. 
 

The second box includes a new copy of Jodi Thomas' Dinner on Primrose Hill. I'm about to start reading it, but I absolutely love all of her sweet romance books. They're not spicy like what I write but her characters and settings are memorable. The box also includes a read, signed copy of Nicole Flockton's One Hot Texas Summer, a cute little notebook, and one of my goody bags.

The third box includes a new copy of Room Service by Rochelle Alers. I cracked open this book, but a few pages in realized it would better to read the other books in the series first. Unfortunately, my TBR pile is preventing me from buying them at this time. The box also includes a magnetic 2022 calendar, a cute magnet, and one of my goody bags.

To enter to win one of these prize boxes all you have to do is visit this Rafflecopter and use one of the methods to be entered. Commenting on this blog post is one of the ways to enter. Feel free to comment below with your New Year's resolutions, your favorite book from 2021, or anything else you'd like to say. The contest ends on January 9th and is only open to those in the continental U.S. due to shipping costs (sorry!). Good luck!

New Release! Winning Back Wednesday

It's release day!! Today marks the release of my sixth ebook from Ellora's Cave Publishing. However, this one is a little different. It's being released from their Blush line and isn't as erotic as my previous books. It is still very much a love story, though a short one, and I hope you like these two characters as much as I do.

Austin and Wednesday have been friends for years. He values their friendship, though he’s horrible at showing it, and she loves him more deeply than she’s willing to admit. When he discovers she’s never celebrated a birthday, he plans a special night for just the two of them. Too bad he forgets to show up.

Wednesday has always been the Mistress of Denial. But this time she’s had it. Austin is not good for her, so she packs up and moves on. Now that Austin knows what he’s lost he’s not willing to let her go. And it’s going to take every trick in his arsenal to prove his love and win back Wednesday.

A Blush® romance from Ellora’s Cave

Blush sensuality level: This is a suggestive romance (love scenes are not graphic).
