Hump Day Hotness-Poisoned Water: A Chenoa Cane Story

This week's hump day hotness comes from my recently released, POISONED WATER: A CHENOA CANE BOOK.


        Blurb: About thirty miles east of the Arizona border, just off Interstate 40, is a heart that beats in time to the ghosts of the west, of the lost, and of the betrayed. A heart that delivers an original, quirky beat all its own. That heart is Nizhoni, New Mexico; a small, dusty town lodged like a spent bullet in the heart of Indian Country. It is a town I know well, for I grew up here, in Nizhoni and it is the place I call home. Fabled for its wide, dry, open spaces, the Southwest truly lives in Nizhoni. Mud-splattered trucks, bull riders and sexy cowboys with their wide-brimmed hats reside among polished local politicians, well-groomed teachers and spotless, luxury SUVs. Here, the ancestors of lore watch over us from the pale, purple plateaus, red mesas, and brown canyons. These ancestors do not always keep us safe.   Excerpt: “Tell me, Chenoa,” Kiki said his eyes on me. “What do you do for fun?” The question shouldn’t have caught me off guard, but it did. I felt warm all over. “Well, don’t laugh, but I quilt.” He  laughed after he put down his drink. “Quilting, how…nice.” “Well, what do you do? Shoot guns?” I asked, with a hint of amusement. “No, no, I, well, I guess you won’t believe it, but I read,” he said, and then added, “and I write a little poetry here and..." “Really!” I squealed, having learned a secret to Kiki’s tough guy persona. I clutched my throat as fire erupted from my sharp squealing. Silence fell between us. I waited half a beat and rubbed my injured throat. “I’m going inside.” “Me too.” I raised an eyebrow at him. “I want to make sure it’s safe.” Kiki touched his gun still in its holster. Wrapping his arms around me, he walked me to my beat up truck. The night’s wind, cool and scented with juniper, gently blew against my face. Enveloped by Kiki’s warmth felt so cozy. I wished I could have stayed there forever. “Why not get another truck? I can hear you coming from miles away,” he teased. “Do you know how many people want me dead? If I had a newer truck people would try to scratch it up, put bullet holes in it and strip it. This baby right here is all I need anyway,” I said into his chest. I could hear his heartbeat and my own thumped in time to his. “I know,” he whispered and pulled me closer. “I wish I could change that.” We stopped at my truck and he kissed the top of my forehead. Who knew he contained so much sweetness and charm? I only knew the tough cop with the raging, inflated ego. “Will you come inside?” I couldn’t believe the words had come out as quickly as they had. I felt him smile into my hair. “Yeah, because so many people want you dead.” He stepped back from me a little bit. I leaned up, titling my head, for I wanted nothing else right then, but his kiss. I heard him whisper something just before his lips covered mine. I kissed back, increasing the intensity between us, until I’m sure I hovered inches above the ground. I felt light and hot all at the same time. “Let’s go inside.” I took his hand, and led him down the path.

Focus on Fantasy- Erotic Romance in Far Away Lands

As a lover of science fiction and fantasy, it should come as no real surprise that I sometimes write erotic romance stories that take place in settings from my own imagination--mythical places with magic and goddesses, dragons and elves, shifters and shaman.

The following are some of my most favorite fantasies. If you haven't tried a fantastic story, I encourage you to do so. It's not all Lord of the Rings, but then some are. You may find that beneath that fall of beautiful hair, your sexy hero is sporting a nice pair of pointed ears.

Enjoy!

Series Saturday Presents: Dragon's Keep Series

Series Saturday Presents: Dragon's Keep
One of the most exciting stories I have written in the last few years is FIREBREATHER: A Dragon's Keep Story. The sequel is called SEADRAGON: A Dragon's Keep Story, and the story details Draco's vendetta to find out who framed him in FIREBREATHER.
One of the things I find most sexy about dragon shifters is their fire--no pun intended. Ryuu's passion is only ignited when he encounters Angelina. Although he's seen her, worked alongside her, and talked to her for years, it isn't an immediate flame between them. In fact, because Ryuu delays and suppresses his mating heat, when he and Angelina are near each other, he loses complete control over his inner beast and its mating heat. This sets them both on a course toward destiny and forever binds them.

I invite you to try this sultry new series. Begin with FIREBREATHER. 
Blurb: For Angelina Brown, everything that couldn’t be proved with science was basically unnecessary; including love. Her outlook on the emotion was clinical, almost detached. That is until she found herself mated to one of the dragon shifters in a resident horde that she helped look after as an expert dragontologist.


Ryuu had two issues. One, he needed to find a mate and fast. Two, he needed to solve a murder even faster. The first issue is taken care of when his mating to Angelina pretty much drops into his lap. But after an incident that leaves his confidence shaken, he begins to wonder, is the good doctor with him because of her heart’s curiosity or her brain’s?

Stuck together through an unbreakable bond that is as old as time and just as strong; the pair finds themselves not only trying to figure out who their surprise arsonist is, but whether or not they should follow the lead of their emotions.

End Blurb for Firebreather
Next is SEADRAGON an exciting urban fantasy, try this one on for size.


Blurb:There was something to be said for the expression fiery passions. From the moment Draco Watatsumi Lo Jin realized he'd go into the phase his people called dragon heat, he knew he'd be craving, needing, wanting one woman. Not just any woman. Anika Crews. When he was accused of acts that shamed his name, his brother, his kind, she'd stood by him, helped him. And in that time, he'd come to realize that there would be no sharing himself with any other female. No committing his existence to a mate unless it was her. He'd swim the seven seas if it meant he could have her in his arms. After all, he was a seadragon.

Hump Day Deliciousness-Seadragon: A Dragon's Keep by RaeLynn Blue

Excerpt from published work, SEADRAGON: A DRAGON'S KEEP STORY .

“What are you doing here, really?”

He ate with quick bites and fast swallows of toast. The silence stretched out and Anika smiled  at the fact he didn’t have a fast come back. It was a rarity to cause Draco to become quiet. For a brief moment she wondered if he’d heard her, but the fact he kept his gaze on the table’s wrought iron patterns, told her he contemplated her words.

She’d finished her coffee when Draco pushed his plate away.

“Anika, I am sorry. Let me start at the beginning. After the last meeting with the detectives, I was cleared. My father ordered me to return to our clan’s keep. In fact, my brother, Ryuu—you met him, had direct orders from the council for me to return.”

He got up and walked around the table to her. Getting on his knees beside her chair, he took one of her hands into his. With his face upturned to her, he continued. “It was an order I could not ignore.

Trust me. The last thing I wanted to do was be apart from you.”

Warmth burned inside her from his sincerity. His words had become almost physical.  She didn’t understand the politics of dragon shifter clans, but from her own independent readings she’d been able to gleam that they operated separate despite being imbedded in various democratic countries—maybe even some non-democratic ones. Still, she did understand that he couldn’t just walk away on his volition without consequences.

He rubbed her hand.  It felt good there, but she had more questions.

“Okay, I think I can understand. You followed orders.  I don’t get why you didn’t call, email, or text me. I, I was very worried about you.”

He kissed her hand and held it to his face. “I couldn’t. I was forbidden to contact anyone. Not to go into too much detail, but I was practically sequestered. They wanted to make sure I didn’t cause any more…trouble.”

She heard the hesitation and damn it, a bit of shame in his tone. He had been exonerated.

Surely, his people took that into consideration. “Draco…”

“I’m all right.” He kissed her hand again.

Then it hit her.

“Are you supposed to be here, now?” Her gut rolled hard because she already knew the answer. If they’d kept him at his keep, forbidden him from leaving, and created a sort of house arrest, no wonder he couldn’t contact her. That probably meant he shouldn’t be here.

“I still have a full packet of bacon in the fridge. You want more?” He got to his feet, but still held her hand.

“You aren’t, are you? What kind of trouble are you in for coming down here?” She got up too. He started to turn away from her, but she gently guided him back around to face her.

He smiled, a small one, nearly a smirk. “What makes you think I’m in trouble?”

“Because you’re here against the will of your clan.”

“I don’t know or care. I need to be here with you.” He pulled her closer, and she could feel the tension in the room shift.  “I’m here because I’m in love with a beautiful and talented woman who I could not stand to be away from for another second.”

“I see.” She couldn’t think of another thing to say. The roaring thunder of her rushing blood made thinking difficult. Se focused on his hands around her waist, and his head dipping down ever closer to her lips. Almost automatically, her eyes closed and she felt his breath a second before his lips made contact with her own, drawing her in to him.

Time stopped to observe this moment, and she imagined fireworks exploding overhead. Yes, dramatic, perhaps even cliché, but now she understood what those romantic clichés had tried to convey. Nothing she could say would accurately describe this moment, the feelings coursing vibrantly through her, and the intense swelling of her heart. It began timid and cautious. He tasted like apple butter with a hint of desire. Butterflies roused in her stomach, and she placed her hands in his hair, feeling the strands glide through her hands. Their lips parted, allowing him greater access to her mouth. She also gave him greater access to her heart, and he obliged, accepting her invitation by deepening it into a smoldering kiss. Her stomach quivered and her knees felt weak. She melted into his arms, a putty of human passion and a mass of molten emotion.

His hands held her fast to him, nearly crushing her into his solid torso.

She never wanted him to let her go.

***
This was completely worth it.

Draco sighed as Anika broke the kiss. He opened his eyes to find her smiling at him, every lap of water he had to swim to reach the North Carolina coast. He loved how sweet and salty she tasted—a combination of bacon and coffee. He wanted to nibble her lip and suck on their plumbness.

“What’s wrong?” He felt her pull gently out of his embrace, but he held her firm.

She shrugged out of his embrace, and began picking up their dirty breakfast dishes. “Nothing.

That was one hell of a kiss.”

Confused, he followed her lead and cleaned off the table too. He helped her load the dishwasher.

“So, are you mad because I kissed you?”

“No.”

Her tone came too fast, too cheery for it to be real. Something nagged at her. “So…”

She poured the liquid dishwashing liquid and stood up. Pressing the dishwasher’s ON button, Anika put her hand on her hip. “Why did you kiss me?”

“Because I love you.”

“That kiss, D, that wasn’t a ‘we’re friends’ kind of a kiss.”

“I know.”

“You know?” Her eyebrow shot into her hair. 

That shouldn’t have surprised her. Didn’t she know? “Ani, I’m in love with you. I left the keep to come here to be with you. I couldn’t stand the distance, the not speaking to you…”

“Please, Draco. Kill the drama.”

He cupped her face with both his hands, and brushed her lips with his. How could he get it across to her that she meant his world? His everything? He’d risked the wrath of his tribe and his father to be here with her.

“That’s nice,” she purred and leaned in to receive another kiss.

He obligated. “Very.”

She ran her fingers lightly across his chest and down his abdomen. Her touch forced his muscles to clinch and tighten. She left a trail of heat in their wake. His beast came awake, and Draco’s arousal did too. Her scent filled his senses, drowning him in her pheromones. Bathed in her, he swept her up into his

“Draco!”

Series Saturday Presents: Azod & Blue

I was already writing for several years, when I met Shara Azod. Although these are not an actual series stories, these are all the stories, currently still available, that Shara and I wrote together. They still feel like a series, of sorts--Azod&Blue.

Title: Safe
Blurb: Good Catholic wives didn't leave their husbands- Briony expected to live the rest of her life loving a man she could never have, chained to a man she despised all because she had made a horrid mistake.

Finding his brother dead and struggling to find out who was after Briony, Quentin vowed he would stop at nothing to keep the woman he loved Safe.

Title: Cabin Fever
Blurb: Uber-busy and highly successful Chanta Nicholson thought she had kept all her secret desires carefully tucked away in her diary. Her husband, Drew, while a good man, wouldn’t condone the type of lovemaking she wanted. She liked it rough and wild, but there was no way conservative, straight-laced Drew would even begin to understand her needs. Drew Nicholson could feel his wife slipping away from, hiding behind her cell phone calls and busy late nights at the office. There wasn’t any way he was going to let Chanta go, not without a serious intervention. He’d read her diary and knew what she needed. Most importantly, he knew how to give it to her. Locked in a cabin tucked away in the Canadian forest, Drew and Chanta can’t just kindle a fire, they must make their love burn like cabin fever.


Title: Lyrical Magic
Blurb: Four thousand years ago Daffyd suffered a tragedy he was sure he would never get over. The Bard of his people was convinced he would never sing again. Closing himself in his castle he resolved to never love again. The price was just too high...


But then came Shiri. What was it about the woman, this mere mortal, that could lure Daffyd out of his self-imposed exile? Why does she call him more than any other? Even more than the wife he lost. Why did she weave a spell so magical it made his heart sing? He had no choice but to use everything in his power to bring her to him.

Shiri was much more than a mortal, more than Daffyd could ever imagine. With powers all her own, she set him free and released the magic in the lyrics of his song.

Title: Fragile
Blurb: Cayla was not the typical gun shot victim. A quiet waitress, she was brutally gunned down coming out of the neighborhood corner store. There was nothing taken, there was no motive, just a fragile, broken woman lying on the cold, broken sidewalk. Kale was not the easiest cop to get along with. Biting and sarcastic, he worked alone caring for little but the job. There was something about this case that Kale just couldn’t let go. There was something about this victim that called him unlike any other. Can they heal each other or will it just be a bandage on their wounds and they still fester?

Wednesday Hot Humps: Bring the Rain

   Title: Bring the Rain
Genre: Erotic Paranormal Romance
Vampire

Blurb: It has been five long, rain-soaked days since anyone had heard from priest Dash Lowery. Evelyn Sharpe has waited and has believed in his return. Just because she was undead didn't mean she couldn't love. And she loved Dash Lowery.

Dash Lowery's many years knew that his many years of priesthood had failed him. He was not prepared for the night a vampire lord called him to his castle. Summoned by a vampire--a priest--it sounded like the beginnings of a joke.

Nothing could've prepared him to be turned to a vampire by night's end. After five agonizing days, he had a decision to make. Go back to Evelyn as a new man, or start his new life over in eternal darkness alone.

Despite the cloud coverage, Evelyn and Dash will bring the rain.

Excerpt of Hotness:

Evelyn hiccupped. “You didn't do this just for me?”“No, as much as I love you, I did not. I was attacked and turned,” Dash said. “Once I came to accept my new, uh, life, I use that term loosely, I knew there was only one thing I absolutely had to do.”“What?” she whispered.“See you,” he said. He got up and stalked around the coffee table.Folded up on the sofa, Evelyn watched him with careful eyes. Not knowing what she would do, he had to do what he came to do. Rejection had always been a small possibility, but then that is the risk he would take for Evelyn.“To talk to you, to touch you…” He kneeled in front of her. Her legs had been folded under her. Like that would keep him from touching her. He leaned forward and kissed her sating clad knees that poked out of the robe. “To kiss you.”Evelyn let out a noise akin to a moan, but more base, animalistic in its origins, had he not known it came from her. He did it again, planting a soft kiss onto her other knee. When he looked to gauge her reaction, he noticed she'd relaxed some. He shifted his body and stood on his knees. His hand found her hair. The silky strands ran through his fingers. Her hair was so soft. He hadn't expected it to be so luscious and smell so strongly of lavender. He tightened his fist in it as he brought her lips down to him. “I want you forever, Evelyn,” he breathed a second before he kissed her.Although she didn't verbally respond, she put both her arms around his neck, yanking him closer as if she meant to inhale him. He, in turn, opened his mouth wider, granting her access to all of him. He'd never kissed a woman the way he did Evelyn. So much tension and passion built from years of denial broke free the moment his lips made contact with her sweet mouth. The soft mewing sounds she made only added more fuel to the fire of carnal hunger raging inside him.Maneuvering her fangs and his took some doing and he nipped her bottom lip with one of his in his rush to taste all of her mouth.The bubble of blood that protruded on her lip teased him a bit. Evelyn's pupils grew large and she eagerly licked it off. Then, she stuck out her tongue and offered a taste to him. Without words, Dash understood what Evelyn had offered him--her blood--her life--her. He sucked her tongue gently, tasting the metallic flavor of her and beneath that the sweetness of her love. When they broke from the kiss, he didn't release her from his embrace, he gently tugged her head to the side, exposing the slender curve of her neck. He inhaled her scent, lavender, as he drifted down the beautiful slope of her neck. He took his incisors and gently raked them up her neck to the sensitive spot behind her ear. He kissed the spot causing Evelyn to press harder against him, encouraging his already hard erection to continue to grow. Taking her earlobe into his mouth he nipped it, causing her to moan in a tone that spoke to her need---their need.He didn't know how it happened, but he and Evelyn had become one with each other.“Dash, please,” Evelyn said softly, writhing against him, her hands on his butt, squeezing it beneath his cloak where the material was more sheer. Her nails dug into his roundness of his buttock and he couldn't help thrusting forward in pleasure. Her soft body melded into his hard, muscular one. She stood at the right height for him, as if she'd been molded to his specifications.“I love you. I have always loved you,” she confessed. She kissed his chin. He gazed down at her for a long minute, and she grew still staring back up into his eyes. “You are telling the truth,” he said with a smirk.She laughed, but it was husky and rough from desire. “Why would I lie?”Dash answered her with another kiss in joy. He'd been sure she loved him, and he knew with certainty that he loved her, but he didn't know how she'd react to him being turned. “Evelyn, are you in agreement with my turning?” he asked softly. Sure, it could kill the mood but he had to know.She ceased massaging his arse long enough to meet his eyes. A man could get lost forever in the rich green of her eyes. There he saw not denial or lust unchecked, but adoration and love.“Dash Lowry, I love you, and I stood out in the rain that night you disappeared.”She loved him. Renewed, he ravaged her mouth, kissing her so hard, he heard her squeak. He stopped at once and panting asked, “Are you well?”She grinned at him. “Yes, do it again.”He laughed softly. He moved away from the sofa, and Evelyn didn't. “Where are you going?”Dash shook his head. “I won't have my first night with you be on a sofa in a parlor.”Evelyn rushed to him and hugged his middle tightly. “I do not care where we are, only that you are with me.”Dash smiled down at her. He freed himself from her embrace and picked her up, sweeping her off her feet. “Your bedchamber before I explode and ruin your fine rug?”  The EndGet a copy of this sizzling vampire title at Shara Azod, LLC or http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006PAMRHI

Series Saturday Presents: Neal Family Series
I have a strong attraction to Asian males (Korean, Chinese, Japanese). and most of my stories.
So, it is with great pleasure that I write the Neal Family series.
Charlotte's story is one of the first where I used Greensboro as the location. Accidentially in Love launched my Neal Family series, but Charlotte and Ichigo started the flame.
Blurb: Charlotte Neal's day can't get any worse. Recently let laid off and suddenly unemployed, a casual drive home turns into a rear end disaster. Disoriented and hurt, she struggles to gain her bearings when a handsome paramedic arrives to save her. When Ichigo asks Charlotte to be his nanny, she thinks he's joking; but she needs the money. She accepts. Charlotte's physical scars aren't her only injuries; she has emotional ones as well.

Ichigo can't get the sexy woman from the car accident out of his head. Between thoughts of her and worries about finding a new nanny for his daughter, he can barely concentrate. He solves one problem by hiring her as his nanny. But can he keep his heart and his hands to himself or will he and Charlotte fall accidentally in love?

After, Accidentially in Love,  Charlotte and Ichigo are tying the knot. Their wedding brings together the entire Neal family--the sisters and their kids. Nothing brings a family together like a wedding.

Mikki McCollum disagrees, and hence the start of CHERISHING MIKKI.
Blurb: Twice divorced Mikki McCollum dislikes weddings--for obvious reasons. But when one of her favorite cousins gets married, well, she wouldn't miss it for the world. Mikki has to admit, the actual wedding was beautiful. However, the reception leaves a lot to be desired. The only bright spot in an event she’d rather forget was the handsome Korean man whom couldn't seem to take his eyes off her. She knew he couldn't because she kept watching him. At least she hoped…

Aaron Yang has settled into his perpetual role as best man. Not that he minded it, nor would he willing admit out loud he had begun to wonder when it would be his turn. When he spies beautiful Mikki, he wants his own taste of happily ever after more than ever.

When a dangerous threat from Mikki’s past threatens the very thing Aaron wants most, he'll risk everything to protect her and to let Mikki know he means to cherish her for always.
