“I love...that elevator,” she said.

With a sleepy smile and a full heart, he turned his head and kissed into her soft hair. “Aw, Red. I love that elevator, too.”
Laura Kaye, Hearts in Darkness

“Caden let out his own moan when her lips pressed against the skin in front of his ear. She exhaled roughly. The rush of her breath over his skin brought goose bumps to his neck.
He trailed soft kisses across her cheek until he found her lips.
And then he couldn’t go slow anymore.
And neither could she.”
Laura Kaye, Hearts in Darkness

“You're freaking gorgeous!”
Laura Kaye, Hearts in Darkness

Lilah Chavez Hi Laura, first and foremost I want to say I LOVED Hearts in Darkness. I've reread it so many times, its truly a lovely story.

So I noticed you have a new release One Night With a Hero. I have a Nook and I've gone through the Barnes and Noble site, its nowhere to be found. Is it going to be released with them too and when?

O_o

Thanks
lilah

Hi Laura,
I just noticed this comment. Sorry about that.
I'm very excited to hear there will be a sequel to Lucien's book. Lucien's a bossy one, is he? That's so funny! He doesn't seem like the bossy type!

I just started Hearts in Darkness today and it's just as incredible and sexy as I'd hoped it would be. Caden is the yummiest!

Thanks for filling me in on the sequel and for writing such wonderful books. :)

Hi Kelly! I intend to publish a sequel, but I don't have any firm release date information to offer. However, Lucien is pretty bossy in my head some days, so I do plan to get to it eventually! Thanks so much for chatting with ME! I enjoy it, too! ;)

Kelly Hi Laura,
Thanks for the add! I've really enjoyed chatting with you about Forever Freed and trading cards. I was told by a friend there will be a follow up book to Freed. Is this true ? I checked your website and there's no mention of a sequel.
