Avenger's Heat Goodreads Giveaway - 25 copies

For my US readers, my publisher is giving away 25 copies of the upcoming Avenger's Heat on Goodreads! Here's the link to ENTER. It's open until February 2, 2014.

To truly have her, he must free her from her dark secret….

Enforcer Erin Flynn has dedicated her life to protecting her kind. But keeping her heart safe from Noah Campbell, the smoking-hot shifter who saved her life last year, is more difficult. The deadly beauty would love to sink into his arms and become his mate, but she knows she can’t—he must never know about her dark past.

When Erin is sent to investigate the disappearances of pregnant shifters in New Orleans, Erin and Noah find themselves involved in a mystery more sinister than anyone expected. And as Erin delves further into the crimes, chilling information about her own past is revealed. The people who wanted her dead in the first place are trying to finish the job, and Noah wants nothing more than to shield her from harm. But can Erin truly trust Noah and let him see the wounded beast she’s hidden for so long?

Release Day! His Untamed Desire is out #MoonShifter

It's release day! His Untamed Desire is officially out! Novella 3.5 in the Moon Shifter series is here and can be read as a stand-alone so if you haven't read the rest of the series you won't be lost if you pick this up!

Lupine shifter Daphne’s recent move back home gives her a chance at the fierce and sexy male she’s always wanted: jaguar shifter Hector.  Daphne plans to show him she’s all grown up, and more than enough woman for him. Unfortunately, a certain vampire has been harassing her and won’t take no for an answer.

Hector knows Daphne can take care of herself, but he immediately steps in to protect her. He’s lusted after the sweet and sensual woman for years. With circumstances forcing them to share a roof, Hector’s not hiding his attraction toward her any longer.

But Daphne’s not the only shifter with vampire problems: tensions between the two groups are rising all over New Orleans. Pregnant shifters are being kidnapped and Hector’s sister could be the next victim. When Daphne underestimates her stalker’s persistence, it might be too late for Hector to keep both of the women he loves safe.

First Share and Win Giveaway of the YEAR!! A lovely reader on twitter alerted me that ALPHA INSTINCT is on SALE for $1.99 at three of the major retailers!! This is the first book in my Moon Shifter series and my publisher has never reduced the price before so I’m very excited about this.

Release News & Updates

Thank you all for such a wonderful year! I’ve got some updates and book news to share before we roll into 2014. Even thinking that’s a few days away is surreal.

The second book in my The Serafina: Sin City Series is up for pre-order at Amazon (Sensual Surrender). I know many of you are anxiously waiting for Jay and Ellie’s story and I’m so happy to be able to give you a solid release date of March 3, 2014. Amazon has been gracious enough to offer me a pre-order option, but don’t worry, Sensual Surrender will still be available at all the other retailers on release day also (B&N, Kobo, iTunes, ARe)!

Blurb for Sensual Surrender:

I’m ready to move on. Please don’t search for me. Please just let me go.
~Ellie

The note on the kitchen table shatters Jay Wentworth’s world into bits. Ellie is his lover, his soulmate, his best friend…she’s the woman who stood by him through the aftermath of a horrible explosion, the woman he’s planning to propose to. He’d do anything for her…except let her go. With his fierce protectiveness kicked into overdrive, he teams up with Ellie’s Hotel Serafina boss, billionaire Wyatt Christiansen, to find her. Ellie is family at the casino and they take care of their own.

Ellie is devastated when her secret past finally catches up with her. Stupid to think she could bury the mistakes of her youth and find happiness with a good man. Leaving Jay rips her heart to shreds, but it’s the only way she can protect him from the dangerous people she once ran with. And deep down, she fears he’ll never be able to forgive her for hiding her past from him.

The closer Jay gets to the truth about Ellie, the deeper he plunges into danger. He’ll move heaven and earth to save her, but if she can’t trust in Jay’s love it might be too late for both of them.
