Here's a book from one of my students. Check it out. Great read!!!
Just released from Liquid Silver!
Lacey Magerin never expected her husband of twenty years to leave her for a twenty-two year old. She never expected her fifteen-year-old daughter to blame her for the divorce.
Lacey also never expected Shayne Donnelly. The NHL goalie is her brother's best friend and is ten years younger than her.
Neither of them know the rules in this new game but that's not stopping either of them from playing or finding love in the least likely place – on home ice.

Nora Roberts Sends Letter of Support for Copyright Infringement Legislation
February 13, 2011
Dear Chairman Leahy and Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
I strongly support Bill 3804.
Piracy eats away not only at the income of writers, but at the fabric of intellectual property. This blatant disregard for copyright not only devalues us, the creators, but the work we labor to create.
In discussions with people who feel piracy is simply the cost of doing business, or worse, that it's their right as a consumer, I've been told I should be flattered so many people want to read my work–for free–that they probably wouldn't have bought the book anyway, so it's not really a lost sale, that there's nothing I can do about it, so why fight it. They tell me they can't afford to actually buy the book, but they want to read it. When I suggest the library as an alternative, I'm told the library's too far away or the wait for the book from a library too long.
I'm told not to call it stealing or those who engage in the practice thieves because it annoys them.
It annoys them.
I say, respectfully, it annoys me when what we, as writers, have created out of our individual minds, hearts, guts is taken without compensation. When it's taken without our consent. We do not consent to piracy. We do not consent to being devalued out of existence.
The Internet is an extraordinary tool, and with it, we can access information with a few keystrokes. But there is a difference, wide and deep, between information and creative property. We use words to express our imaginations, to tell stories that entertain, that bring comfort, offer amusement or solace. Melding that imagination with words to create a book takes work, time, effort, talent. The storyteller and the book that comes from her through that work, that talent, must be valued and respected. If piracy continues to devastate a writer's income, to erode the ability of the publishers to make the profit necessary to bring those books to the public, where will the next generation of storytellers come from? How can they live if their individual creativity has no value?
The novelist, the novel, the publisher as the gatekeeper can't stand against the growing assault of piracy.
Freedom is essential to us, as people, as Americans. But freedom must co-exist with the rule of law. And the law must address progress along with the benefits and complications it brings with it.
We look to you to make the laws that protect us, that protect our work, that protect and respect creative property. We look to you to stand up for us and against piracy and its growing sense of entitlement.
Without writers there will be no stories. Without stories, the world will be a smaller and much less vibrant place. Please don't let that happen.
Nora Roberts

You're invited to the galaxy's most prestigious beauty pageant. Clothing optional. Romance and danger…fully provided…
Cocky young detectives Gerry Rappeneau and Sebastian Thorpe-Campbell arrive at the premier lunar resort expecting a week of eye candy and long massages. With a half-billion-credit purse up for grabs, this year's pageant is the focus of a hundred worlds. And beauty isn't the only thing in the eye of the beholder.
One contestant, Evelyn Lyons, is attacked and her assailant killed. Surely a simple case of a stalker gone mad, as nothing bad ever happens at the Selene contest. So the brochure says.
The closer Gerry gets to Evelyn, the more he is convinced she's hiding something. His meticulous character sparks with her wild, sassy nature, and they embark on a torrid affair. Their forbidden romance isn't the only thing set to ignite in Pont de Reves.
Sebastian's infatuation with demure Claire Villiers, another contestant, threatens to put all four of them in harm's way.
A deadly trail of corporate conspiracy, monstrous assassins and hot bikini wax is more than anyone bargained for in this incendiary erotic mystery. Get ready for some serious heat on the dark side of the moon.
EXCERPT:
Evelyn's self-esteem soared like a rocket as she gazed into Gerry's eyes. All the need and desire that filled him shone through. She liked him, maybe more if she were honest, and had wanted him from the moment his pompous ass walked into her hotel room. Being with him and initiating sex tonight was the right thing for her to do.
Gerry wrapped an arm around her waist, tugging her closer. Damn, his hard chest felt good against her achy boobs, but not as good as his rigid cock nestling into her belly.
"Evie—"
"Don't talk."
He nodded and traced his index finger along her bottom lip. She nipped the tip, then sucked it in, tonguing the pad until he groaned.
"Ah, Ev—" He caught her face in his hands and kissed her with a passion that ignited her.
His tongue toyed against the seam of her mouth, then delved in, a beautiful taste of wine and herbs, lapping and swirling until her knees trembled. With a regretful sigh, she pulled away.
"Did I do something wrong?"
"No talking. It's my little quirk." She tapped his mouth, then took his hand and led him to the sand. After she stooped, she patted the ground, inviting him to join her.
Evelyn rose up on her knees and combed her hands down his chest, flicking his nipples until they sprang to life. Intrigued, she swiped her tongue over her dry lips and leaned into him, licking and sucking the copper-colored discs.
She continued lower to the blond tuft cradling his cock. Gently, she glided her thumb over his swollen head, teasing the drops of pre-cum from the slit to the sensitive underside. Her other hand cupped his balls, rolling the tight sacs with her fingers, taking pleasure in her teasing.
His hips jerked with each touch. Through hooded eyes, he watched, but did as she had requested and maintained silence.
On a rush of air, she gave his lips a quick peck and eased over him, holding her thighs tight against his frame. Heat emanated from his body, soothing and stimulating, a new awareness she longed to experience more than once.
Her breasts swayed close to his mouth. He stretched up and tweaked her pebbled nipples with his thumbs and index fingers. Cuddling them together, he licked and suckled the sensitive tips, first one, then the other. A deep shiver rocketed through her, increasing the ache low in her belly.
She teased his cock along her nether lips, loving the feel of his hot flesh grazing against her clit. In slow motion, she edged onto his shaft, savoring the inches that penetrated her wet vagina.
He rocked into her, clutching her hips, holding her in place. She locked her hands around his wrists and pulled them away, the need to set the pace paramount.
"This is so sexy I don't want to come," he bit out through clenched teeth.
"I do." She slapped his hip. "Again and again."

A fantastic review plus 5 white dragons for "Nice Girl Naughty" from Judy King at Veiled Secrets Reviews!
Here's a snip of what Judy says,
"This is a very sexy story, with a lot of tension. The guilt Nick feels because Summer is his best friends sister is not enough to curtail their desire for each other. You'll find yourself enamored with Nick and secretly hoping that Summer continues with her wandering hands. You'll find yourself holding your breath when the bad guy is on the
scene.
I found my heart racing and flying through the pages when they have to save themselves from imminent danger. This is definitely a book that will have you spell
bound until the end rooting for the good guys and cringing at the thought of this bad guy. Don't miss out on this suspenseful and extremely sexy book. Nice Girl Naughty
delivers with style."

Another lovely "Sweet Heat" review. This one is from Paranormal Romance Reviews!
http://www.paranormalromance.org/revi...
…is a fantastic read of love versus loyalty, and proves true love can be found at first sight or bite, however the case may be. Jan Springer does a superb job of mixing both the past and the present, which leads to a deeper understanding of Julie's way of being and ability to pass herself off as a human. Reading this book definitely gave me a whole new desire for chocolate!

Reviews for Nice Girl Naughty!
From Romance Junkies…
4 Blue Ribbons
NICE GIRL NAUGHTY has all the elements that are needed for an award winning novel. Jan Springer has written a high action suspense that will keep you guessing. I was highly impressed at how she was able to use Summer's disability as an asset that allowed Nick the opportunity to paint the world for her in his own words. Such realism as she is able to project will have you questioning if you are reading fact or fiction.
By Romance Junkies Reviewer: Suzie Housley
From Romance Writers Reviews…
Nice Girl Naughty by Jan Springer
It is a wonderful story. Summer is not as venerable as she may seem. Being blind has not held her back any. She has made a life for herself and learned to deal with her blindness. Just when you think your life is under your control, a mad man wants to end it all. Lucky for summer her brother runs a bodyguard company and sends long time friend Nick where he knows of a cabin in the wild and in the solitude reacquaints the friends in more ways than one. This has action and adventure of all kinds.
I rate this: 5 out of 5.
