A Sneak Peek at KISS OF MOONLIGHT

How about a little peek inside the newly revised first book in the Lucani Lovers? I loved returning to this world and getting the chance to revisit a few of the stories.

For instance, the ending of KISS OF MOONLIGHT has been completely rewritten and the book has been expanded by about 7,000 words. Now, I'm no math wizard so I asked PaperMan and he said I added about 16 percent (thanks, dear).

So here's a taste. And if you're interested, here are the links for pre-order. All six books will release Monday Feb. 8.

Excerpt:



Since she’d arrived, no one had driven past her house. The overgrown lane actually dead-ended into the corn field to the south of this house.
So who the hell was using her lane?
Hurrying to the double window in the living room, she peeked out and saw a bright yellow muscle car rumbling down the road.
Fear slid through her in a wash of frigid cold but when her brain finally processed what she was seeing, her mouth curved in a smile.
The car’s convertible top was down, revealing a young girl at the wheel and an older man in the passenger seat. Tam could see the girl’s smile from here, bright and sunny as she brought the car to a jerking stop.
She heard the girl laugh then the low rumble of the man’s voice. She couldn’t make out what they were saying, and she couldn’t see the man’s face. But the girl’s expression was cheerful, sunny. No shadows.
Her bright red hair shone in the sun, the strands confined to a braid that hung over her shoulder. The man tugged on the braid before turning to stare at her house.
Whoa. Tam bit back an involuntary gasp. Sweet heaven, the guy was…hot. Not pretty-boy cute. Not run-of-the-mill handsome. No, this was a woman’s wet dream. Masculine and confident. Experienced.
Wavy black hair fell almost to his broad shoulders, the bangs brushing his perfectly straight nose and gorgeous, high cheekbones before he shoved them back. His features were a little hard, a little sharp. His square jaw had a covering of black stubble and his eyes were narrowed against the sun. She couldn’t see what color they were.
She wanted to get close enough to see. After the hell she’d gone through eight months ago, it shocked her to realize her libido still worked. She’d thought…
What? That she’d never want to have sex again?
No. She wouldn’t let the bastard take that from her. She’d enjoyed sex, what little of it she’d had. She knew she would again. What that monster had done to her had been an aberration. Not sex.
Sex with this man would be amazing.
Not that she was going to have sex with him. She didn’t know who he was or why they were here. But she was about to find out.
He and the girl got out of the car and started walking to her door.
She pulled away from the window as they got close, not wanting them to catch her watching, like some creepy old lady afraid of her own shadow.
They weren’t talking now, almost as if they didn’t want to spook her. The knock, when it came, sounded almost muted.
Like they knew…
Idiot. Of course they didn’t know. How could they? She’d never seen them before in her life.
The knock came a second time and she automatically moved to answer it.
Her heart began to pound but not in fear. She almost didn’t recognize the difference because she’d lived with the fear for so long.
No, this was anticipation. Because of him.
She ran her fingers through her longer-than-normal hair, thankful for once that the straight strands never tangled. She eased open the door, trying not to give any hint of the emotions roiling in her gut.
“Can I help you?”
She winced. Hopefully that didn’t sound as unwelcoming as she thought it did.
Either it hadn’t or the girl didn’t care. She stood in front of the man, smiling at her with a wide grin. The man’s bulk nearly overwhelmed her slight figure.
“Hi. I’m Cat.” She glanced over her shoulder. “And this is my dad, Kyle. We live down the road and since we only just noticed that you moved in, we came to say hi. And invite you for dinner. We’re having a cookout tonight. Dad’s pretty good with the grill and—”
The girl cut off as the man put his hands on her shoulders. “And my daughter tends to run at the mouth. Sorry about that.” He stuck one of those hands around the girl toward her. “Kyle Rossini.”
She took his hand without thought and immediately lost herself in his warmth. When was the last time she’d let anyone touch her? A month? Two?
God, the man had huge hands, tanned dark by the sun. As was the rest of his arm and probably his chest as well. She didn’t see any tan lines, including one on his ring finger. Minus a ring.
Why the hell had she looked?

Hope you enjoyed!

STRINGS ATTACHED is live!

The first book in the Baseline Sins series is here! This is for all those readers out there who love bad boy rock stars. I know I do. There's just something about a guy who can hold the attention of thousands of screaming fans turning all of that intensity on you that makes you want to melt

And that's where STRINGS ATTACHED was born.

Baz Valenti lived the life until it nearly killed him. Then he fell off the face of the earth. He shut out his friends and band mates and disappeared from the scene. Until he met Greg Hicks and discovered an aptitude for scoring movies. But it isn't enough and he's ready to get back to his band. He just doesn't know how.

And to make this more complicated, he's got a severe case of lust for Greg's business partner, Trudeau Morrison. She's as straight-laced as she is pretty and Baz wants her. Trouble is, Tru doesn't want to be another notch on his guitar.


The first novel in a steamy spin-off series from the national bestselling author of the Salon Games novels...

On the surface, Sebastian "Baz" Valenti is a rock god with the lifestyle to match. With  his drop-dead gorgeous looks and his band, Baseline Sins, at the top of the charts, he can have any woman he wants. But the constant touring and recording has taken its toll. Now he’s turned to scoring films, a gig that has introduced him to the one woman he really wants but can’t have...

Trudeau Morrison is all business all the time. As the managing director of ManDown Films, it’s her job to keep Baz focused on business too. It’s not an easy task, considering Baz has made no secret of his desire for her. But Tru doesn’t want to get involved with a rock star, even if he is the hottest man she’s ever met.

Trouble is, once Baz gets an erotic taste of Tru, he’s not going to give her up. Now he just has to show her that rock-steady is nothing compared to rock and roll..

 Excerpt: 



He shook his head. “You can’t fix me, Tru. I’m not a prop you can track down or a situation you can make disappear.”She managed to not roll her eyes but only barely. “I understand that. But if you need to talk, I’m a good listener.”He fell silent for several seconds, his gaze glued to hers. In the hazy light filtering in from the performance area and the low lighting in their secluded space, she could see that his eyes appeared more green now than they had earlier. His hair stood up in spikes from running his fingers through it and his mouth was compressed into a line.Amazingly, her gaze fixed on his mouth. She’d been noticing it a lot lately and had even found herself watching him talk more often than actually listening to what he said. She’d told herself it was because she was trying to ignore his actual words, which were pissing her off.Liar.She liked his mouth. She found it sexy.Oh, crap.She blinked and dragged her gaze back to his eyes but found his gaze focused on her mouth.That strange sensation returned to the pit of her stomach. The one she kept telling herself was not attraction.Liar, liar, pants on fire.Then he shook his head and looked

One woman. Two men... AN INDECENT ARRANGEMENT

AN INDECENT ARRANGEMENT

A menage romance in three parts. Now complete. 


Two very bad boys trying to go legit...
Max and Jesse grew up on the streets of Philadelphia, working for the city's most successful crime boss before attempting to go straight. They're inseparable, their friendship honed by danger. They share everything, including a burning desire for the same woman. But an affair now, while they're still untangling themselves from their past, could be dangerous, not  only to their friendship but to their lives. And to hers.
One good girl who could be their downfall...

Mary Alice has always walked the straight and narrow, but her secret craving for Max and Jesse is fast becoming an obsession. They don't fit into her safe little world of family, friends and work. That doesn't stop her from wanting these intensely sexual men who fascinate her. So when fate hands her an opening, Mary Alice proposes an indecent arrangement guaranteed to rock their worlds.


A split-second and a single shot…
Their powerfully erotic relationship is shattered in an instant. Jesse and Max stand united even though they’re miserable without her. Mally is lonely, hurt and angry but she’s not ready to give up on their relationship. She has to make them understand that they’re safer together. And that she’s much tougher than they realize.

In a single second, Max triggers a chain of events that puts a wedge between his best friend, Jesse, and their lover, Mally. But when this former Russian mob member’s loved ones are threatened, Max has to make a show of strength. He can’t allow anyone to exploit his and Jesse’s weakness for Mally. And Mally can’t be hurt if she’s no longer theirs.

Separated from Max and Jesse, Mally is lonely, hurt and angry but she’s not ready to give up on her relationship with her two men. She’ll make them understand that they’re safer together. And that she’s much tougher than they realize. But she’ll need help from a few women who know what she’s dealing with.

Mally’s not going to release her men from their arrangement until she gets exactly what she wants. But do her men want the same happily ever after?

Chapter One
“Fuck.”
Jesse’s low curse drew Max’s attention away from the door as it closed behind Mary Alice.
Max wanted to follow her, throw her over his shoulder, and take her up to his bedroom where he and Jesse could take their time with her. Play with her until they’d wrung every ounce of pleasure they could from her then let her rest for a few hours before starting all over.
Tonight had been good. But it definitely hadn’t been enough. He wanted more.
How much more? Not a question he was prepared to answer right now. Especially not with Jesse ready to go nuclear.
"Jesus, Max, what the fuck did we do?”
Taking a deep breath, Max turned to face his best friend.
Jesse’s face was set in hard lines and his dark eyes glittered like obsidian. “Pissed off” wasn’t strong enough to describe Jesse’s mood right now but Max wasn’t about to coddle him.
“Nothing she didn’t want.”

AN INDECENT ARRANGEMENT PART II will release Friday! I can't wait for everyone to see how Max, Jesse and Mally continue their romance.
