On The Prowl Blurb

On The Prowl is coming together nicely.  Here’s a bright shiny new description for the book.

Desperation. Seduction. Destruction.

When wealthy socialite Talia Sizemore learns that a major benefactor has pulled its funding for her afterschool arts program for children, she resorts to larceny in an attempt to keep her foundation afloat. She never intended to become a thief, but it’s a rush. The more she steals, the more she craves the danger and the exhilaration. Soon, her desperation becomes an obsession; one that leaves her wanting more and pushing the limits of her sexuality to maintain that level of ecstasy.

Handsome Detective Riley Kinkade built his career on bringing justice to those who’ve strayed outside the lines of law and order, but his moral code is tested when he’s assigned to the New Covington Cat Burglar case. The woman responsible for the thefts is no run-of-the-mill thief. Her seductive ways lure him into a trap – one he finds hard to escape.

What happens when the one you want to catch becomes the one you want to keep? Will the seasoned detective and the seductive socialite be able to resist temptation or will this dangerous cat-and-mouse game spiral out of control?

This is a hot story of erotica, and it will be available shortly.  Hint:  Sooner than you think!

Courting Gossip Release Day

COURTING GOSSIP (Book 5)

Genre: Erotic Romance

Release Date:  Today!

High class escort, Genieve, gets caught in the act with a politician and gossip goes wild. Flame-haired and curvy, Genieve is used to attracting attention, but her employer, Luxxor Limited, can’t stand the heat. They task her with lying low until the scandal blows over, in the protection of the one man she’s never been able to charm: Brody Haynes.

Power player Brody fixes politicians’ problems, but keeping Genieve out of sight is a challenge. The sexy redhead is smart and her sense of humor disarms him. Brody tries to concentrate on cleaning up the mess around Senator Gunderson, but his new housemate is a big distraction. And a bored Genieve is also a handful.

Stuck alone together, the stern fixer and the vivacious escort discover that opposites do attract and the best way to stay out of the spotlight is to stay under the covers. But when the whispers about Luxxor only intensify, maybe it’s time for them to give people something else to talk about.

Courting Gossip / Courting Suspicion – Parallel Books

I came up with a really interesting concept when I proposed these last two books in my Courting series.  Usually books in a series are sequential, but inspiration took me to a different place.  What if I did two books that ran parallel to each other in time?  The main story line for Courting Suspicion is what happens to Nina and Luxxor when one of her escorts is caught in a political scandal.  But the question kept hitting me… What happens to the escort, Genieve, while all the hubbub is happening?  It’s as much her story as it is Nina’s.  So I decided to write two partner books that look at same events through different characters’ points-of-view.

This was a really intriguing concept from a writing perspective.  I had scenes where both Nina and Genieve were present.  That meant that they had to be in both books (or referenced somehow), but told from each heroine’s viewpoint.  I loved that challenge.  Loved it.  Sequencing everything up, though, wasn’t so fun.  The time line had to match!  I couldn’t go off on any tangents, because Genieve had to get from Point A to Point B and be in the right state of mind when she got there.  Yet, I also wanted the technical elements of the story to be invisible.  Courting Gossip had to be able to stand on its own.  The focus had to be on Genieve and Brody’s romance.

It was a brainteaser for sure, but I’m really happy with the way both books turned out.  I can’t wait to hear readers’ feedback to this unique way of storytelling.  Just two more weeks, and I’ll know if I succeeded.

Courting Suspicion is a Top Pick

Courting Suspicion was given a Top Pick award and rated 5 stars over at The Romance Reviews.
