CELESTRA FOREVER AFTER New Adult  17+(This point of view is from Skyla’s man ;)“Let me guess, no electricity?”“Ellis mentioned something about me transferring everything into my name. Sorry.” She sighs into me. “Looks like we’ll have to fight it out in the dark.”“Sounds good. But be warned, I don’t plan on fighting fair tonight.”“I hope that’s a promise.” She takes a gentle bite out of my lower lip as I navigate us to the bedroom. I push open the door only to land us in the bathroom, the scent of mold and urine biting through our nostrils. I head into the next room, and Skyla leaps out of my arms. The moon streams in a fair amount of light as she tosses the sheets over the mattress lying on the floor.I flick off my shoes and before I can get to my jeans, Skyla is right back by my side doing the honors for me. “You mind?” she whispers.“By all means.”
Have a great week! Stay tuned on Facebook, twitter, instagram for flash giveaways!!!
And don't forget: Roxy and Cole and their late night Sugar Kisses! It's out! 

The Tuesday Tease

Happy Tuesday!

I hope you've all had a fab week with outrageously awesome things happening! Spring is coming in just a few short weeks and that always makes me happy~! 

Thank you to all who supported The Solitude of Passion during its Kindle Countdown Deal sale. There's still one day left at 1.99 before the price bumps back up, so if you're interested, the deal has a few hours left!


Celestra Forever After news: It's done! It's officially in my editor's lovely hands. I hope she and my betas approve. If not, I'll rework until it sings. Also, the cover is under construction. I'd like to have something familiar, yet, new, borrowed, and blue... sounds like a wedding is afoot! And there might be. Maybe. 

In a week or two I'll start to mix in teasers of my other works in progress, Whiskey Kisses and a sekrit project I've been tinkering on. I always enjoy one or two sekrit projects on the side. ;) 

Onto the teasers!


The door swings open, only it’s not the Oliver I was hoping for, it’s— “Logan?”My heart drops in my stomach. He’s tall and bright-eyed and something is definitely off.“Liam.” He puts his hand out, and I gingerly take it.“Oh, God.” I’m completely without words. My knees shake, my insides liquefy at the thought of who else might be in there. “Is Logan here?” I hold my breath without meaning to. He’s got the same sweet eyes, same bone structure as Logan but he looks like a bad boy through and through—more Brielle’s type than mine. Then again, Brielle would be lucky to trade Drake for Liam.“No.” His shoulders drop, and he looks instantly sad for me. “You must be, Skyla.”A moment of silence bumps by as we take each other in.“How do you know?” Deep down, I suspect it’s a foolish question, but, selfishly, I want him to tell me.“Logan never stops talking about you.” He gives a tiny grin and a bloom of sadness rips through me. God, he looks so much like his brother. “Don’t worry, he left out all the good parts.” He gives a little wink. “You want to come in?”“Um, no, that’s okay. Is Gage here?” I suck in my lower lip, suddenly self-conscious of my patriotic standing. I foolishly charged to the door with nothing on but my two-piece. I tried telling Brielle that wearing the American flag as a glorified pasty spelled out all kinds of bad juju.



*Gah! I can't wait to share! It's entirely up to my editor and how much work it needs. Hopefully not a lot! Enjoy your week!

The Tuesday tease + book news!

It’s Tuesday! I’m giddy because I had a great week editing Celestra Forever After. I’m on track to send the ENTIRE book to my editor on Thursday! *squee* (Heads up, Sarah!)
Quick news: Someone to Love is still only $2 for a few more days! Make sure to pick up a copy before my publisher raises the price again! Quick, go and get one! I’ll wait... Happy reading!

Would you like to listen to the audiobook for Someone Like You? Just click here and listen to the first 10 minutes of the book! Happy listening!



Since Celestra Forever After is moving right on schedule, if all goes well with my editor and betas, we should have a mid to late March release date! This is a new series. It takes place after the young adult Celestra series has been completed. It’s structured so that new readers can pick it up and not feel totally lost. Hopefully soon I’ll have a cover reveal! Next week-ish???

On to the teaser! 
CELESTRA FOREVER AFTER  (New Adult  17+)
*Logan and Coop, watching Wes from a distance.
“He’s here, huh?”“Apparently, so. It’s giving Laken some anxiety, but she’s a strong girl. I’m not too worried. I told her if he tries something, to feel free to invert his jewels and show him who’s in charge. Hell, I might knock his balls in myself.” Coop’s brows peak as two other guys dressed in black suits approach Wes. “There’s an underground society the frats are forever spinning urban legends about—The Blood of the Dragon. It wouldn’t surprise me if Wes is campaigning. And if he gives them enough cash, he’ll be running it in a week.”“What the hell would he want with a bunch of college goofs? He’s a little busy culling the dross from the Counts, isn’t he?”“Who knows, maybe he’s scouting new recruits.” Shit. “Human recruits.”
*Hope you enjoyed! It won't be long now!
Don't forget Sugar Kisses it out! Roxy is full of attitude and Cole thinks he's all that. But they can't stay away from those late night Sugar Kisses!

Cover reveal: Whiskey Kisses!!!

Whiskey Kisses (3:AM Kisses Book 4) Coming summer 2014!



This book can be read as a standalone

27 year-old Izzy Sawyer has a secret, and it’s turned her life upside down. She believes she’s the last person on earth who deserves a happily-ever-after.
22 year-old bartender Holt Edwards has a secret of his own that cost him far more than he ever bargained for. And when it comes to love, he doesn’t believe in fairytale endings.
Izzy is amassing social phobias as quickly as she is cats. She’s notoriously incapable of making a decision, and her love life has yet to take off because of it. When her sister offers to set her up on a series of blind dates, Izzy breaks her bad habit of indecisiveness and agrees to the idea—after all, she’s already on the brink of insanity.
Holt has worshiped Izzy from afar for as long as he can remember, and now that her sister has talked her into a string of blind dates he’s generously offered to help Izzy navigate the battlefield of romance.
Things get heated when Holt takes his “coaching” endeavors to a physical level, and Izzy is blindsided when she discovers she’s falling hard for someone five years her junior. Izzy wants nothing more than to forget the world and drink down Holt Edwards and his late night Whiskey Kisses.
Izzy is starting to think that happily ever after doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.Holt is starting to rethink his stance on fairytale endings—but secrets are exposed, and worlds are blown apart—the only thing Holt and Izzy have left when the dust settles is each other. Once they get a good look at who they truly are, will they help each other heal or repel and run for safety?


*I'm so excited to get this book to you! Holt is Bryson's twin brother and he is hawt. 
Have a great weekend!

CELESTRA FOREVER AFTER New Adult  17+*Skyla with her man (name omitted from text to prevent spoilers).
“I appreciate that.” I rub my fingers over his cheeks. He’s growing his stubble out, and he looks that much more adorable. “You’re just so damn hot. Once you get out on that field next Friday night every girl on Host will want to bed you.” I dip my hand up his T-shirt and lean in to whisper. “Including this girl.” My cheeks fill with heat, and I have to look away a second.“You’re the only girl I want even close to my bed.” He dots my lips with a kiss and scrapes his rough stubble over my cheek.

*Melts* I hope you all have a fab rest of the week!Someone to Love is on sale! I don’t know how long it will last but if you haven’t picked up a copy it’s a great time to do it!

*This novel can be read as a stand alone*

Roxy and Cole have been unleashed into the world! I'm thrilled to give you another part of the 3:AM Kisses story.


A little about the book:

Roxy Capwell couldn’t be more miserable. She just had her heart stomped on by her cheating boyfriend, and the last thing she’s looking for is love. She hates men.Cole Brighton couldn’t be happier. He’s a player of the highest order, there’s not a girl at Whitney Briggs University that he can’t tag and bag. He loves the ladies.Roxy’s dream is to own and operate her own bakery one day, but with no oven in her dorm, and a lucrative baking competition on the horizon, she agrees to move in with her best friend’s brother, the obnoxious, womanizing, Cole Brighton.Between the heavenly scent of baked goods, and Roxy’s perfect body strutting around the apartment, Cole can’t think straight. So when Roxy’s ex starts sniffing around again, Cole volunteers to play the part of her new boy-toy and things get heated both in and out of the kitchen.Roxy discovers she might not hate every man on the planet, and Cole discovers nothing tastes better than Roxy and her late night SUGAR KISSES.Roxy is a ball of stress and anger.Cole is all ego and sex.Their attraction is unstoppable.And when their bodies collide—its combustible.
Other book news: Celestra Forever After has morphed a tad bigger than I anticipated (typical Skyla), but that's partially my fault since I find Paragon a nice place to visit. Edits should start on Thursday—yay! And they should move quickly on my end so that my editor and betas can get into the manuscript and help me whip it into shape. Yay again!
On to the teaser:
CELESTRA FOREVER AFTER New Adult  17+(Skyla with Marshall)
“Know this.” Marshall leans in until I can feel his breath warming me. “The fruit of the rose family is often lethal. It will certainly do this world in.”“You’re talking in riddles.” My gaze falls out the window at that horrific dragon painted across the building with his terrifying grimace. His ruby eyes shimmer right through the fog with an eerie incandescent glow.“Does the dragon fit into this—Omen?” I test his name on my lips. I’ve hated it all along. It feels evil, nefarious.“Indeed he does.” Marshall shoulders up next to me and fixes his gaze on the creature’s awful countenance. He hones in his hatred and glares at the monstrosity as if it were a person.The earth quakes, a roar erupts from the sky as the belly of those tar-colored clouds rip open and a deluge of rain falls over the campus as if God himself were trying to soothe an open wound.

Enjoy the week! Hope you have fun with Roxy and Cole!

BIG THANK YOU to all who purchased Someone Like You! Because of you it's sitting in the top 100 of Amazon Kindle right now and I cannot even express my gratitude. Also, in another surprising twist, Someone to Love is also (at this moment) sitting in the top 100 of Amazon, so that makes this a record breaking week for my books. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! You guys ROCK!


And ack! We're doing it again next week! SUGAR KISSES releases ~*next*~ Tuesday Feb. 11th! 
(Pardon my insanity)                          


A little about Sugar Kisses: Roxy Capwell is by far the feistiest character I have ever written. She's bitter, and angry, and all around disgruntled with the opposite sex. But it was oh so fun to watch her cave and mold and redeem her belief in humankind—sort of. Here's the jacket blurb/teaser:

Roxy Capwell couldn’t be more miserable. She just had her heart stomped on by her cheating boyfriend, and the last thing she’s looking for is love. She hates men.Cole Brighton couldn’t be happier. He’s a player of the highest order, there’s not a girl at Whitney Briggs University that he can’t tag and bag. He loves the ladies.            Roxy’s dream is to own and operate her own bakery one day, but with no oven in her dorm, and a lucrative baking competition on the horizon, she agrees to move in with her best friend’s brother, the obnoxious, womanizing, Cole Brighton.Between the heavenly scent of baked goods, and Roxy’s perfect body strutting around the apartment, Cole can’t think straight.

Celestra Forever After news! It's. Almost. Done. So close. Thisclose. So many twists and turns. Can't wait to share more of Paragon with you all.  Secrets emerge that blow everything Skyla thought she knew out of the water. Everything changes.
CELESTRA FOREVER AFTER New Adult  17+
*Gage’s POV with Ellis
“You and Messenger never fight?”“I don’t know.” I shrug it off. “We had a long bout of silence when that whole DVD thing went down.” I still remember how crappy it felt to watch a five-minute montage of Skyla with Dudley—with Logan, and then of course the freeze frame of her awkwardly kneeling in front of Ellis himself, although that proved to be nothing. “No I guess we don’t fight.”“Last week Giselle and I were watching Adventure Time and I ate the last oatmeal raisin cookie.” He shakes his head as if reliving the memory. “She effing lost her shit, dude—over a cookie! ” Ellis slaps me on the back. “Just wait. You’ll get yours. There’s not one decent relationship that doesn’t get thrown into the shitter one in a while.”I give a bleak smile because for once Ellis is right.Skyla and I are about to get thrown into the shitter in grand style. Only this isn’t some lousy oatmeal raisin cookie we’ll be warring over. Nope. In fact, all hell is about to break loose.
*Enjoy the week~!  Thank you once again for all the book love! XOXO 

Someone Like You is live! + Teaser

I'm so, so, SO happy to share Ally and Morgan's story with you. Someone Like You is the second book in the Someone to Love series and focuses on the story between Ally (Kendall's best friend) and Morgan (Kendall's brother).

A little about the book:
When Morgan Jordan barrels into town for his mother's wedding the last thing he expects is a one-night stand but when an angel falls from her stripper pole the sky, who is he to turn her away? One thing leads to some runaway kisses and the rest is best forgotten—until they meet again and the angel is formally introduced as his sister's best friend... things get messy.

Extended teaser:

Someone Like You (Someone to Love series Book 2)

(Ally's POV the day after the one-night stand)


The elevator doors open, and I hurry outside. The air is thick and muggy, already perfumed with the familiar scents of summer: suntan lotion mixing with the evergreens.Kendall stands next to a large white pickup, waving like she hasn’t seen me in months, so I wave back and freeze with my hand in the air like I’m about to swat someone and honest to God I just might.“Holy sh*t,” I hiss under my breath. It’s the dark knight from last night's romp and stomp. He’s sporting a goofy grin that melts off his face faster than a glacier in hell, and that’s exactly where I’m about to send him. Crap. He’s going to ruin everything. Here Kendall was nice enough to show up with her better half and her brother . . .Oh, no. Oh, God.Everything in me freezes.Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.“Ally!” Kendall bounds over and drags me to the ebony-haired Adonis. His lips twitch a devilish grin and his dimples press in deep. Just f*ck.“Ally, this is my brother, Morgan.” My stomach clenches when she says his name. “And Morgan, this is my good friend, Ally.”Here it is. That awkward moment when you want to gouge out your best friend’s brother’s eyes, and perhaps a few other unnecessary appendages.

*I hope you enjoy the book! Have fun hanging out with Ally and Morgan!!!
Happy reading~!
(We'll return to our regularly scheduled teasers next week. ;) And I might just have some pretty cool Celestra Forever After news! Can't wait!

Someone Like You teaser and news!

SOMEONE LIKE YOU is getting ready to launch next Tuesday! January 28, 2014! (Giveaway at the bottom of the post!)

One important note: SOMEONE LIKE YOU will only be available through Amazon for e-book or paperback purchase. My publisher is Amazon (Skyscape) so that would be why.

Teaser!

SOMEONE LIKE YOU (Someone to Love #2)



Morgan’s POV:
Ally tilts her head seductively and smiles with those strawberry-colored lips. Her eyes lower to slits as she reaches down and pulls off her T-shirt, revealing a barely there red string bikini. She peels off her shorts, and my dick pulsates just taking in the bandage of a bottom held together with a few measly strings. Suddenly I’m overcome with the urge to unwrap her like a present. I’m enjoying the hell out of the fact her bottoms are equally as pleasantly scant as the top.“Hot damn girl,” I say, pulling her in by the waist.“Your turn.” She plucks my shirt off and runs her hands over my chest in a series of achingly slow circles.“You’re pretty good at that,” I say, picking up her hand and kissing each of her fingertips.“Stripping?” Her eyes widen as if a slap is next on the agenda.“No.” I push out a little laugh. “Taking my clothes off.” I gently pull her in by the face and give a playful bite to her bottom lip. “I’m going to have to keep you around, Ally.” Shit. Did I just go there again? Is there any way to get through this afternoon and not depress the hell out of us by bringing up the not-so-distant future? I mean it’s obvious Ally and I have a future, right? What the hell am I saying? Of course we do, a brilliantly long one—paved with happiness and hot sex right through to our golden years and beyond. “Are you going to keep me around?” Her features soften as if she had started it out as a smart-ass remark, then it became a general interest question that directly affects her well-being.“Hell, yes.” My lungs pump out some serious steam as if I ran all the way here from Cruise’s cabin. “You’re all I’ve ever wanted.”“And, you’re . . .”—a smile twitches on her lips—“it!” she screams, slapping me on the chest and taking off toward the waterline.“Hey”—I shout, taking off after her—“that hurt, Ally. You’re going to have to kiss it to make it feel better.”Laughter bubbles from her as she streaks across the sand. Her ponytail whips around her shoulders like a white flame.“You’ll have to catch me first!” She shouts as she races down the waterline.“Sweetie, if I catch you, you’re going to have to kiss a few other body parts as well.”


Preorders are available for both:paperback, audio &
                                                e-book.
