Arresting Love is Now Available

Arrresting Love has been released and is now available at Evernight Publishing Amazon All Romance eBooks The contest is over and I will be contacting the winner, Ceceilia.

Arresting Love Releases Monday, November 11, 2013, Chance to Win

Monday, November 11, marks my final release for 2013, Arresting Love.


Aspiring chef, Taylor Gershwin, needs a new place to live and someone in his friend’s apartment building is advertising for a roommate.

It sounds perfect. He’d be close to his best friend and it’s not too far from his job as a short order cook and the chef school he attends. Sure the guy he’d be roommates with, Mike Hanovan, is something of a Neanderthal. A big brawny guy with a snake tattoo who also happens to be a Vice Cop…and hot as hell. 

I am giving away one free PDF copy. If you are interested in winning please email authorshawnlane@gmail.com by November 11, 2013 at 7:00 AM PST.

Upcoming Story

Coming out of Cave to say that Arresting Love has been completed and accepted by Evernight Publishing. Don't have any release date as of yet, but did want to mention I have at least accomplished something.

I am working on Tempted to Taste which is due by December 01 to Amber Quill.

Writing Progress

It's been a while since I posted so I thought I'd go ahead and do so now.

To be honest, I'd stopped writing for a bit. Taking a longer extended writing vacation than I had intended.
 But I have commitments so I had to force my laziness away!

 I am currently working on a chef story for a pax coming up sometime next year for Amber Quill. The story is called, Tempted to Taste , and I am also excited to say it is part of the Sutter's Bay series though with main characters I had not yet introduced. Expect some secondary character appearances from previous characters from the story. Tempted to Taste centers around an aspiring chef, Ryan Callahan, who perhaps bites off more than he can chew when he is hired as the chef for a seafood restaurant in Sutter's Bay. And of course Ryan's would be hero is the owner of the restaurant, Chris Harrison. 
 
Other than that I am making very slow progress on a few other stories including Arresting Love (mostly written but stalled), Lincoln Hill #2 (started but stalled), and a nerd/geek sci-fi convention story.

The Crush Revisited Now Available from Loose ID

Tim Olfander escapes his busy, hectic life in LA at his ten year high school reunion in the city he left behind years ago, Lincoln Hill. There, at the resort the reunion has booked, his gaze falls almost instantly on the sexy, pretty guy behind the check-in counter. He chats up the guy only to learn he is the assistant manager, Brandon Collins.

Tim instantly sets in motion his plan to spend the week at the resort with Brandon's sweet body under his. He has no clue Brandon knows him from their high school days.

Back then, Brandon was a shy, closeted nerd who had a big crush on Tim, following him around at school. Now it seems fate has thrown Brandon's former crush at him in the form of the now hotter than ever Tim, who also seems to have sex with Brandon on the brain. Brandon gives into his baser needs, not to mention his old fantasies, for a week long smoldering affair with the crush he never dreamed he'd revisit.

Here is the buy link. The Crush Revisited

Burning Love Quick Contest

I am doing a very quick contest for my Romance on the Go story, Burning Love , releasing Monday, June 24, 2013.


Archie Knowles has been in love with his hot fireman neighbor, Sean Waverly ever since he moved into the same apartment building. Sean is rugged muscular and oh so sexy. And gay. When Archie first moved in, Sean propositioned him. Archie turned him down because Archie wanted a love relationship and Sean…he just wanted sex. So though they've lived near each other for months, they've only ever been friends.


But when Archie faces the disappointment of not getting a promotion at work, he decides he is through not getting what he wants out of life and he makes a proposition of his own to Sean: He wants hot, wild, animalistic sex.

Sean doesn't believe Archie really wants the friends with benefits arrangement he proposes, but Archie has vowed to go elsewhere if Sean won’t accommodate him. Sean can’t let someone else have Archie, so he gives in to the cute twink. Wild, animalistic sex may just be hiding love.


Okay, when I say quick, I mean email me by Sunday, June 23rd  at 6:00pm PDT with your format choice if you'd like to be considered for the contest. authorshawnlane@gmail.com
