Oh man–I love a good bar brawl and Spitfire has a doozy! Thought I'd share a bit of it with you.
Several patrons who'd been drinking, not paying attention to the drama unfolding at the pool table, turned. Rem could see that while there might be an unspoken rule about playing a second game, there was a hard-and-fast rule about paying a debt. A couple badass customers walked to the table.
"There a problem here, little lady?" one of the men asked. Jesus, Rem thought, as he gazed at the giant...

Family is an integral part of quite a few of my stories. In Kiss Me Kate, Kate has an older sister, Jill, and I have to admit I created Jill in the image of the older sister I always wished I'd had. She's carefree, fun, and the perfect foil for the all-too-serious Kate. Today's snippet's a little longer than most, but I decided what the heck–I'd just give you a whole chapter. It's a fun one and I loved writing it.
Kiss Me Kate Excerpt:
"Hulloooo," Kate's voice greeted.
Rick frowned, uncertain...

When I was writing Because of You, my editor asked for several changes at various parts. According to her, I was too nice and I didn't want my characters to suffer. She insisted that I make them hurt! It was tough, but I got through it. There is one scene in Because of You that always makes me cry–no matter how many times I read it. I'm only giving you a bit because I don't want to ruin the suspense of the moment. It is, in my mind, the darkest moment in any of the books I've ever written.

Today we're looking at lost loves…one of my favorite themes. The past two weeks I've shared excerpts from books one and two of my Wild Irish series. Today I thought I'd give you a sneak peek of book three, Waiting for Wednesday, which releases on St. Patrick's Day. Tristan Collins has spent a year missing Lane, the girl who got away.
Waiting for Wednesday excerpt:
"So who stuck the stick up your ass tonight?"
He sighed and shook his head, refusing to face her as he spoke. "No one, Keira. I'm...

An International Heat threesome!
Made you look with that title, didn't I? As many of you may know, I participate in a group blog called International Heat. As far as I'm concerned, it's comprised of some of the most talented people in the field of erotic romance and I truly believe these women will continue to be successful for many years to come. This week, three of my IH pals are kicking March off with style!
On March 1, Stealing My Heart releases at Total E-bound and my pal, Jambrea Jo Jones has contributed a story to...
