TOGETHER. THEY CREATE THE MOST POWERFUL MAGIC OF ALL ...
Romulus and Remus are sexy werewolf cousins with an unbreakable bond. When they meet beautiful goddess Amity and save her from an encroaching demon, they discover that the three of them together are way more powerful than any of them could ever have imagined. And they're going to need that power to overcome the forces that are determined to steal Amity's magic and destroy the two men. As different as night and day, and each an amazing man in his own right, Rom and Remy make all of Amity's deepest fantasies come true ...

Here's a short excerpt:

The demon brushed a hand down her back, causing Amity to scream.

Sweet Mother Goddess, this was it. The demon would take her back to Aitás for Charun to consume her soul.
She did trip then. Her feet tangled together and she hit the ground hard. The air rushed from her lungs and starbursts flashed before her eyes as her head bounced off the paved surface of the trail.
Pain flared seconds later, beginning in her temples and radiating throughout her entire body. Still, she tried to scramble to her feet but only got to her knees when she felt a hand grab her shoulder.
“Steady there.”
The masculine voice made her head snap up. She realized someone stood in front of her. A tall, masculine shadow whose face she couldn’t make out in the darkness of the park but whose voice sounded so familiar.
“Are you ok—”
Amity pushed away the hand he’d extended toward her, terror making her shake. “You’ve got to run. Go now or you’ll be killed.”
His hand didn’t move. “No, I don’t think I will.”
The certainty in his tone made Amity blink up at him in astonishment as she realized the man standing above her was Rom.
She opened her mouth to yell at him but felt a chill seep into her body that had nothing to do with the air temperature. Her time was up. The negative energy of the demon began to suck at her positive force, the energy that allowed her to heal those who needed it. If she lost too much of it, she would be no good to anybody.
“Well now, it looks like you’ve found a hero,” the demon taunted. “How nice for you. He’ll make a tasty snack for later, won’t you, lucani?”
Lucani. She blinked up at Rom, standing so tall above her. He was an Etruscan wolf shifter? Why hadn’t she realized that last night? Was Remy too?
How had she missed it?
Reaching down, Rom wrapped a strong hand around her arm and pulled her to her feet then drew her behind him.
“You’ll have to break me first, demon.” Rom’s deep voice was filled with palpable menace. “And, trust me, you won’t get the chance.”
Peeking out from around his shoulder, Amity watched the demon emerge from the shadows, close enough now for her to see the whites of its eyes. Its body was nothing more than another dark shadow sliding through the night.
She shivered, the demon’s menace surrounding them like a force field. Blessed Mother Goddess, this was no rank-and-file demon, she realized. This was no minion.
This demon had the blue skin and black hair as all tukhulkhademons did, but it also had small black horns erupting from its temples and curving back along its head. And she was sure, if it turned, she’d see the demon’s black wings tucked behind it.
It was one of the few generals in Charun’s army. A demon didn’t earn horns or wings until it’d proven itself to Charun’s exacting standards of pain and torment.
This situation became stranger every second.
Why would Charun risk sending one of his high-ranking demons to track her? She couldn’t have fended off an attack from a regular demon, much less one with so much power. And how had Rom known she’d needed help?
“So cocky for a lowly dog.” The demon’s voice dripped with disdain, ripping across Amity’s empathy like claws, making her breath catch at the pain. “But you’ll bleed just like the rest.”
Rom laughed and she detected absolutely no amusement in the sound. Or fear, for that matter. “I may bleed a little but you’re the one who’s going down. When I rip your throat out, you’ll cry just like all those you’ve killed before.”
The demon’s head cocked to the side, its expression visible now that Amity’s eyesight had adjusted. It looked contemplative and when a demon got that look on its face, you really should run the other way. 
Because it was either thinking about eating you or tearing you into little bits in preparation to do so.
“We’ve met before, haven’t we?” The demon put its hands on its hips, in a strangely feminine pose, making the hair on Amity’s neck rise. “Have I eaten your loved ones? Possibly maimed a friend? How awful for you.”
“All of the above, actually. And now you’re going to pay.”
The demon’s eyes rounded in a mocking wonder. “Is your name Inigo by any stretch of the imagination? You know that would just make my day.”

Stuck in the Middle of a Fine Bromance

GODDESS IN THE MIDDLE releases tomorrow! I can't wait and I hope you all enjoy.

Today, I'll leave you with a a plethora of bromances I didn't have room for but who would make any girl mighty happy.

How can you go wrong with Paul Wesley and Ian Somerholder from "The Vampire Diaries"? Or Tim Olyphant and Walter Goggins in "Justified"? Then there's Jeffrey Donovan and cult king Bruce Campbell in "Burn Notice." And the odd-couple pairing of Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo in "The Avengers." Or finally Alex O'Laughlin and Scott Caan in "Hawaii Five-0."

I hope you come back tomorrow. I'll have an excerpt from the book.



GODDESS IN THE MIDDLE, Book 3 in the Forgotten Goddesses series, will release July 3.

Dancing With the Chmerkovskiys

Max and Val Chmerkovskiy. Brothers with hot accents and even hotter dance moves.

The "Dancing With The Stars" professional dancers look great in tuxedoes, jeans or just about anything at all. Or next to nothing, if that's what the dance calls for.

Professor X and Magneto

Young mutants or seasoned X-Men?
[image error] James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender or Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan?Who cares? They're all wonderful as Charles Xavier and Eric Lensherr, otherwise known as Professor X and Magneto. 
Sure, Magneto has a few anger issues but the men are smart and have super powers. Where Charles is the voice of reason, Eric has passion and conviction.

Put them together... Oh baby.

Newman and Redford

Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

Come on, they're Hollywood Royalty. And in their heyday, they were HOT.

Hell, even later in life, they still made women's hearts beat faster. Whether they were playing cowboy thieves or suave con men, you couldn't find a more handsome pair who made you want to find out how well they really worked together.

Rock Gods

Anyone who knows me knows I have a huge thing for rock stars. No prefab, packaged pretty boys. Give me a tattooed, screaming rock god any day.

Two of my absolute favorites: Matt Tuck from Bullet For My Valentine and M. Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold.

I've always loved my music with a hard edge but when my sons became teenagers and wanted to go to concerts, Bullet and A7X were two of the first we went to see. I was hooked.

If your taste runs to bad boys, you can't go wrong with these two.

The Darcys

Something a little different today: Three Misters Darcy.

Colin Firth is the gold standard from "Pride and Prejudice." What self-respecting romance lover doesn't recall his dripping wet walk across the lawn with mouth-watering lust? For that matter, what about his Darcy from "Bridget Jones"? A twofer.

Martin Henderson played Darcy in "Bride and Prejudice," director Gurinder Chadha's Bollywood retelling of Jane Austen's classic tale. He smiles and I melt.

And then there's Matthew Macfadyen from Joe Wright's 2005 version. The intensity he brought to the role was engrossing and thrilling.

He's a little bit Country, He's a little bit Rock & Roll

Country star Blake Shelton and rock star Adam Levine of Maroon 5 make for an unlikely paring but damn, if they don't make for some hot dreams.

Ever since they debuted on "The Voice" last year, the two have taken to bantering so much it almost seems like flirting. Which makes women across America sigh.

Shelton has the aw-shucks-ma'am country charm down to a science and Levine is cocky and snarky but both manage to convey a genuine love of music and a real sense of caring when it comes to their contestants.

And come on, neither of them are tough on the eyes and who wouldn't want to have those voices in your ear...

A Supernatural Twosome

Take a look at these pictures then tell me you wouldn't want to be in the middle of these two men.
For the past seven years, the Winchester Boys, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) have taken care of demon business, gone to hell, returned from hell and been possessed by the Devil. And they still live to fight another day on the CW's "Supernatural."

They're brave, strong, dedicated, not afraid to cry and have one of the coolest cars on TV, a '67 black Chevy Impala that ranks right up there with Michael's Westen's '73 Dodge Charger in "Burn Notice." Sorry, car porn sidebar.

And they're actually best friends in real life.

Definitely two men you want at your back. And your front. Oh really, just about anywhere.
