The Tuesday Tease and cover reveal!

Happy Tuesday!

First thank you SO much to all who purchased, read, enjoyed and reviewed Beautiful Illusions! Thank you for helping it have a successful launch. And for those of you who didn't know it was out, quick go grab a copy! Gavin Jackson is hot! (Now available: Amazon, Nook, Smashwords, iBooks, Google Play )




Someone For Me (Someone to Love 3) news! 


Someone For Me is the Kindle Love Stories pick of the week and it's on sale for just $1.99! Here's a link to the Kindle Love Stories blog, Facebook, Goodreads group.
And if that were not enough Someone For Me is also featured over at the USA TODAY blog! LINK!   


The Dragon and the Rose book news: Here it is!!! The Dragon and the Rose cover reveal~!!!!




Yes, it's only slightly different, lol! I love Celestra Forever After's cover and I didn't want to fight it. There are still some color adjustments I'm going to have done but more or less this is it!
Here they are side by side so you can compare and contrast.

 *Here's an extended sneak peek just to make up for last week. Enjoy!
The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) * (Skyla with Laken)“That’s right. Get angry and stay that way.” She pulls me further from the party. “Another thing that has to go away is the Steel Barricade. Or—”“We’re f*cked.”“You said it not me. Get angry about that too.” She turns to head back. “Oh, and Skyla? If you’re not angry now just wait until tonight. Coop let me know exactly what is that Logan is going to show you.”
* (Gage in a fury with Ellis and Giselle)It’s true!” Giselle beats me over the back with a pillow but I’m slow to drop Ellis. “Skyla told me she’d support me one hundred percent if this is what I felt I needed to do.” I turn to find Skyla’s mouth contorting. Shit.“She said her body was crying out for attention!” Skyla drops her head in her hands. “I’m sorry. This was a huge miscommunication.”“You bet it was.” I toss Ellis back so hard he flies into the window and the glass explodes in a spider web around him.
* (Logan with Michelle Miller)The rain starts in, quick and angry, pelting Dudley’s oversized manor like a thousand pebbles being dumped from the sky.“So I’ve been trying to explain to him that it’s all been a big misunderstanding,” Michelle drones on like she has been for the last sixty painful minutes. “Would you mind talking to him? I mean I know he’s not home. He’s out with that little bitch, but as soon as he gets back. I’d really appreciate it.” 
Have a great week! :)

It's release day!


Happy book birthday to Beautiful Illusions~! 

Available: Amazon, Nook, Smashwords, iBooks, Google play. (I'll add links as they become available!)


I hope you all enjoy Gavin and Demi's story! It's a steamy, bumpy ride, so you might want to buckle up. ;) 

Here's a little about the book:

Beautiful Illusions (Beautiful Oblivion 2) *This book can be read as a standalone. 


Sometimes the past comes back to haunt you—in the most heartbreakingly beautiful way.
Gavin’s story.
I fell in love hard and fast. As quick as she came into my world she was gone. Demi said she has secrets—that she’s done horrible things. Who hasn’t? I’m not going to let the past determine our future. Sometimes love lays forever at your feet and sometimes you need to fight for it. Demi is worth every damn battle we’ll have to go through. I’d take on the world just to keep her safe. And, knowing what I do about her, I just might have to. All I need with Demi is one more night to convince her we’re worth it. And that one night is going to cost me everything.

**I'll continue with our regularly scheduled teasers next Tuesday! And hopefully a cover reveal for The Dragon and the Rose!
Have a great week and happy reading~!

The Tuesday Tease!

Guess what??! 

Beautiful Illusions releases next Tuesday!!! 


It's so close, this-close! I'm so very super excited to share Gavin Jackson with you! He's yummy, and hawt, and super addicting. Demi doesn't stand a chance. ;)
In other news, The Dragon and the Rose has taken center stage on my keyboard. I'm all about the Paragon peeps for the next few weeks. Skyla, et all are keeping me on my celestial toes. Get ready for another exciting turn of events. 
On to the teasers!


Beautiful Illusions (Beautiful Oblivion #2) *Can be read as a standalone.(Gavin’s POV)
“I think you look edible from head to toe, and I’m ready to test the theory.” My chest is already bucking as I struggle to catch my breath. “I also think you’re still a bit overdressed.” My eyes never leave hers as my fingers unhook her bra with expert ease.
The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) Skyla’s POV (with Ellis)
“Maybe he’s got brain fever?” Ellis shrugs as if it were an everyday occurrence and knowing Paragon it might be.“Thank you for your diagnosis Dr. Harrison. Anything you care to prescribe?”“Actually”—he fishes in his pocket—“now that you mention it, I do have something that will mellow him out.” He pulls out a small plastic bag full of questionably legal greens.“No thanks. I think I know someone else who might be able to help with the brain fever.” A Sector to be exact.
Have a great week everyone!!! Look for lots of paperback and ebook giveaways of Beautiful Illusions this week and next!

The Tuesday Tease!

Happy Tuesday! We're sweltering here in SoCal. I'm so ready for fall. I hope the weather feels the same. 

Book news! Did you catch the cover reveal for Rock Candy Kisses? Here it is again for those who might have missed it.


   
Isn't she pretty? I'm in love with both the cover and Annie's story. Rock Candy Kisses (3:AM Kisses #5, coming early 2015). Click on the cover to add to Goodreads!

Beautiful Illusions! I'm all done with edits and onto the final read-throughs! Yay!!!! I should have it to my formatter sooner than later. The release date has been set for September 30th! I can't wait to give you Gavin's story. He's sweet, sexy, and have I mentioned hotter than a grease fire? Mmm. But I digress, Demi is pretty awesome too. She's a strong woman with an entire shroud of deep dark secrets that unravel seemingly forever. 

The Dragon and the Rose! It's basically at a standstill until I finish reading Beautiful Illusions until my eyes fall out or my glasses shatter, both most likely. BUT! It's unfolding right before my eyes and so far everyone with a point of view in the novel has a very strong plot line (always a good thing). Also, I'm working on the cover. It will be very similar to Celestra Forever After, so, fair warning, but there are plenty of neck-breaking twists within the text. 

On to the teasers!




Beautiful Illusions (Beautiful Oblivion #2) Coming September 30th!*Can be read as a standalone.(Demi’s POV)
“Would you look at that?” I hug Gavin’s arm a little tighter. I haven’t let go all the way home—home. A smile skirts my lips at the thought of Loveless being my anything. “Looks like each time I arrive, they throw a party.”A dull laugh trembles from him. “That’s because we’re meant to be.”

The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) Skyla’s POV (with Marshall at his estate)
“Why are you here?” He doesn’t look up from the task at hand.“Excuse me?” I balk. “I clearly remember a time when you were all about having me in your presence. I believe you doled out visions in exchange for kisses.”He raises a brow and pauses to look over. “Are you in the mood for one of our revelating exchanges?”“No. I’m in the mood for a specially crafted spirit sword.” I slink down in my seat and close my eyes because I can’t believe what’s about to spew from my lips. “There’s a Fem I need to kill.”  
Have a great week!

Cover reveal! Rock Candy Kisses!

Here it is! Annie finally gets her own book! I wanted to give you a sneak peek at the cover, also you can add it to Goodreads (click on the cover). ;) I have the release date set as early 2015 but it might be sooner. It all depends on how long Skyla holds me hostage on Paragon. BTW, The Dragon and the Rose is coming along nicely! Lots of twists and turns in that one. You might want to buckle up, it's a bumpy ride.


A little about this book:


Jacket Blurb
*This novel can be read as a standalone
Rock Candy Kisses (3:AM Kisses #5) Coming early 2015!
Annie Edwards was born deaf, but she’s never let that define her. She’s settling in as a freshman at Whitney Briggs University, loves her dorm, her roommate, her classes, but something feels as though it’s missing—enter Blake Daniels. He’s everything Annie is not—a rocker, a player, a college dropout. Her friends want to sleep with him, her brothers want to kill him, and all Annie wants is a chance to see where her heart takes her.

As the lead singer of 12 Deadly Sins, Blake has had his fair share of rock candy. But Annie has taken over his body, his mind, his heart—three things he’s never lost control of before.
Often first love and first heartbreak go hand in hand.Sometimes the thrill of one is worth risking the other.
Rock Candy Kisses coming soon!!!!
*Enjoy the weekend! I'll see you on the flip side!

The Tuesday teaser!

Look who decided to show up? (me!) Sorry about last Tuesday, but here we are again with Monday behind us and Friday already looming on the horizon. Yes!
     Speaking of Friday, I have another cover reveal coming up! This time for ROCK CANDY KISSES (3:AM Kisses #5) Annie's story! Yay!!! I can't wait to get this one to you. Just thinking about it gives me the warm fuzzies. I know a few of you especially are looking forward to Annie's story as much as I am. For those who don't quite remember Annie, she's Bryson and Holt's younger sister who happens to be deaf. Her story is close to my heart since my father and son are hard of hearing, both deaf in one ear and partial hearing in the other. I'm doing quite a bit of research for Rock Candy because I'm determined to get this right. I think you'll be pleased with how the story unfolds, delicately yet in an exciting manner that Annie is worthy of. 
     Book news! The Dragon and the Rose. I'm hanging out with the naughty Sector again. It's raining something awful on Paragon (no news there) and surprises abound around every corner. To quote Chloe Bishop, "Oh, what a wicked web we weave." Indeed, there are no truer words, especially when it comes to our Paragon peeps. The thing with any Celestra book is it takes more time than others to complete (simply because it's paranormal and takes place outside of the natural world—so many rules, demons and angels oh my!) It's smexy. Be warned.
    Other book news! Beautiful Illusions (Beautiful Oblivion #2) is coming together! Edits are underway and I have about two weeks until I tie a pretty little bow over the manuscript and toss it to the ground to use as a doorstop because that baby is done. I should have it in your hands by the end of the month. I'm toying with about 3 release dates right now and I'll let you know which I land on very, very soon. Can I just tell you how much I've swooned over Gavin Jackson??? Gavin is all man, and I can't wait until I can properly introduce you to him. (Or reintroduce as it were since we briefly met Gavin in Beautiful Oblivion.) Gavin and Demi's story is unique and the way the plot unfurls is unlike any story I've written before so I truly hope you'll enjoy it. 

On to the teasers!



    Beautiful Illusions (Beautiful Oblivion #2)

*Can be read as a standalone.(Demi’s POV)
“It’s pretty bad out there. I’m glad you’re inside.” His cut features make it hard to look away. Something about those hypnotic, glowing eyes magnetize me, and I’m sure every other woman, to him. “But you don’t look too prepared for what’s being billed as the snowstorm of the century.” He tilts in, inspecting me from head to toe and his sizzling gaze feels as if it’s tearing a fire line up my body. He’s not the type of man I’m usually paired with, but then, this is the first time I’m advancing to a bodily exchange for cash.
The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) *Logan’s POV
(Logan and Gage after Ellis engages them both in a conversation about sex.) 

“Sounds painful.” Exactly how it’s going to feel when I push Ellis’s head through a plate glass window for bringing it up.Gage smirks at the idea. “Not when you do it right.”Looks like I’ll be pushing two heads through the window tonight. 

*(Side note: I had another tease all set to go, much longer and juicier but then realized how spoilery it was. Sorry!)

*See you Friday for the cover reveal of ROCK CANDY KISSES!Have a great week!

Cover reveal!


Hi all! Happy Friday! Here's a cover I'm more than happy to share with you for an upcoming book I have releasing in 2015. It's the second in the Sublime Casualty series entitled A SUBLIME ADDICTION. The fabulous Sarah Hansen is making the covers for this series and I'm more than happy to share them with you. (Click the cover to add to Goodreads!)


Isn't she pretty? Sarah has really outdid herself for this series.

Here's a little about the book:


A Sublime Addiction
Noah
I thought I knew what love was. I’ve had relationships, but those were nothing like what I have with Elle. She’s taken over my thoughts, taken control of my days—she owns my nights.
But something doesn’t sit right. Her family, her past—it’s like they don’t exist. I don’t want to dig. I don’t want to confirm anything that might prove me right. I’ve had enough to deal with over the past few years.
It’s time to move on with the girl of my dreams by my side.But then I do a little digging.And I before I know it I’m standing in a grave.

Elle
I didn’t come from money. I didn’t come from anything. When you spend your childhood invisible, you begin to believe that actions don’t matter—consequences don’t exist—and your past will never come back to haunt you.
Then I met Noah. He saw me. He made me feel important, special, and most of all real.
But Noah and I are a house of cards.The wind is picking up.The ground is shaking.It’s time for me to go.I could run, but deep down I could never quit Noah.
They say love is stronger than death. For Noah and Elle to survive, it had better be.
Don't forget to add it to Goodreads!
Have a great weekend!

The Wednesday Tease?!


Yikes! Sorry about forgetting that Tuesday actually follows Monday—but in my defense it was Labor Day and I enjoyed the last day of summer right down to the dregs. It was dreamy. I read. All. Day. Long. Bliss!!! Actually I read post 2 in the afternoon. Before that I took my parents to lunch since it was their 50th wedding anniversary. It was amazing and miraculous to see that people still get to hit that jaw-dropping milestone. I'm planning a big party for them later in the month so the afternoon was low-key but it still felt dreamlike. The day was set in a perfect warm summer haze so everything felt magical. I told my husband we both need to survive long enough to hit our 50th because it's on my bucket list. One of my sons agreed to take us to Chuck E. Cheese on that momentous day so it's all set. I might have to usurp him when the time comes. But I digress! 

Book news! I have another cover reveal coming soon (possibly Friday) stayed tuned! 

*BEAUTIFUL ILLUSIONS is done and in the hands of my editor and betas!!! Look for a release date soon. I'm thinking mid to end of September. 

*THE DRAGON AND THE ROSE is front burner! Yes! I'm finally back on Paragon full time. *Waves at all the handsome boys that the island has to offer* Lots of surprises, a few jaw dropping moments, and an ending you won't want to miss. I promise. :) 

*A THOUSAND STARRY NIGHTS  - Oh Aspen. Oh Carter. How I love your twisted love story. This is book 2 of The BURNING THROUGH GRAVITY series. *sigh* I cannot wait to dig in deep. I'm still writing scenes in this one, too and outlining like crazy. I have to say, I like Aspen as much as I liked Stevie.      

On to the teasers! 




Beautiful Illusions (Beautiful Oblivion #2) *Can be read as a standalone.(Demi’s POV)
His kisses trail down my neck, and it all feels familiar. It feels like home, like love. His mouth glides over the fabric of my nightgown soft and rhythmic as a poem.
The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) Gage’s POV
(Demetri to Gage) “What kind of love do you have for this woman if you’re so eager to give her away?”I choke on my response. The stock answers I had already spewed out a thousand times before seem stale in the harsh light of the truth. I could have everything—more than I ever wanted or imagined. Why the hell was I so eager to piss everything away? All I know is that I had grown—grow up, or simply woke up and was beginning to realize there isn’t a damn thing I want to throw away—least of all myself. My love for Skyla is strong. And the last thing I want to be is dead.  
Hope you enjoyed! Have a great rest of the week!
And don't forget BURNING THROUGH GRAVITY is now available!Happy reading~!

The Tuesday Tease!

Happy Tuesday! So glad Monday is done. I vote we nix it from the calendar. Only four days till the weekend!

On a serious note, I was challenged by the Poulin Family Florida, over on Facebook, to participate in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, and I of course accepted sans the bathing suit and ice. Instead I happily donated the requisite $100. in the name of my husband's uncle who passed a few years ago from the horrible disease. I hope good things come from this amazing donation vehicle that's swept the country and a cure is found soon. 


Book news! I'm loving the reviews that are pouring in for Burning Through Gravity! And BIG thank you for no spoilers. I really appreciate that right down to the dregs of my little corroded heart. XOXO If you haven't read it, and you enjoy a little suspense with your romance, it's available now at all major ebook retailers. Paperbacks are available on Amazon!


Beautiful Illusions is done! I'm about a week behind in handing it over to my betas and editor but I blame summer for that. I really drank it down this year and enjoyed every crazy minute of it. I hope you'll enjoy Demi and Gavin's story, coming (hopefully) mid to late September!
The Dragon and the Rose! Yes, it's finally FRONT BURNER! I love living on Paragon and playing with Skyla and friends. Did I mention Marshall? Yum. 
More cover reveals coming so look for those. I'm excited myself! 
And thank you to all who came out to the Authors on the Coast signing this past weekend. It was amazing and fun and every single person there was kind beyond belief. I really enjoyed meeting you all! NYC (Romance Riot) is next!! See you in October!   
On to the teasers! 




Beautiful Illusions (Beautiful Oblivion #2) *Can be read as a standalone.(Gavin’s POV)
“I think we should quit while we’re ahead.” “Are you asking me to quit you before we ever begin?” She looks affronted, like I asked her to pluck the ears off a rabbit.A part of me wants to laugh because the sex addict in her is still trying to get into my pants, and, believe me, the sex addict in me very much approves, but I swallow down the urge because she just touched my soul in the exact way I was hoping.“I would never ask you to quit me, Emmy.” It’s not going to happen for me at least. There’s an urgency in me to protect her. I know for a fact, once I take a hit, I’ll never let her out of my bed.

The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) Skyla’s POV
“So what’s the plan?” I pant hard, pressing myself into the peeling bark of the eucalyptus just to keep Logan’s chest from mine.“The plan, Skyla, is to do this.” He leans in, his lips edge toward mine before he turns quickly and pulls the trigger. The shot rings throughout the island like a thunderclap, and I stagger forward spotting a body in the field. “You killed him.” My hand claws at my chest. I can’t breathe.“I’ve always been a damn good shot.”
Enjoy the week! Happy reading!

The Tuesday Tease!


BIG thank you to all who supported the release of Burning Through Gravity! I hope you're all enjoying  Stevie and Ford. I had so much fun with them. I hope you will, too!




I'm running short on time this week so I'll cut straight to the teasers!


Beautiful Illusions (Beautiful Oblivion #2) *Can be read as a standalone.
(Demi’s POV)Kennedy scoops up her drink and laptop. “It’s national buy-your-girlfriend-flowers-day.” She gives me a quick wink before speeding for the door. “I’ll catch you, two later. Please do things I wouldn’t—and report back to me. It makes life that much more interesting. Make it dirty!” “Dirty?” Gavin mouths as I spin into him. His cheeks, his eyes they smile without his lips. It’s a neat trick that only Gavin seems able to pull off.“Do you know that you’re fiercely attractive when you’re amused?” I sneak a kiss off his ultra soft mouth.

The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) Skyla’s POV (Skyla and Brielle. Brielle is teaching Skyla a few specialized “techniques” using Melissa’s supersized teddy bear as a prop.)
“Okay, then you round your hips over him like this.” She throws her head back and breaks out into a series of fake passionate moans. Her eyes are closed and she’s riding that overstuffed bear, fast and hard—and, dear God, I don’t think she’s faking anymore. For a second I contemplate pulling out my phone and taking a picture, but if word gets back to Melissa that Bree defiled her “baby” this way, I’m sure the entire universe will have to pay.
*Enjoy your week! I'm planning a few extras and surprises for next Tuesday!
