Bride’s White Shoes on a Grass Field

Texas veterinarian Cayce Gerard has wrestled a sick bull to the ground, out-growled an angry Tibetan Mastiff with a sore tooth and climbed to the top branch of a hundred year oak tree to rescue an injured hawk. The only creature he hasn’t tamed is Ashley Sharpe.

He can’t crate her.

He sure as heck can’t sedate her.

Only option left is to spank her.

But teaching princess a valuable life lesson about being bratty takes a sudden turn.

Was that a moan he heard?

Yup!

Is he going to do something about it?

Damn straight!

****

This 32,000 word novel re-envisions the happy-for-now ending of Cayce and Ashley from the 6,900 word short story Spanked by the Vet. There’s still a spanking and more sultry heat than even a southern summer can hold. There’s also a happily-ever-after, right after Ashley teaches Cayce a lesson of her own.

Desired by the Wicked Woodsman

Exclusive for 90 days on Amazon to buy or borrow >>> US > AU <> CA < UK <<<

When it comes to Joshua Reeves, the alpha cat in the Night Falls pack, wolf shifter Clover Hughes is about to go from despise to desire in sixty seconds flat.

The bear that fostered her is about to have cubs of his own. Her big brother and her best friend are leaving on their honeymoon.

And her body has decided she needs a swift kick in the butt before she winds up a spinster.

A rare second heat has her heading for the hills—the same hills prowled by Joshua Reeves, her brother’s new second in command and the pack’s alpha cat.

Emphasis on cat.

Clover Hughes doesn’t do cats. Members of a pride in California slaughtered her parents and hunted her until she was on the brink of death. A crazy she-cat in Night Falls shot her with a poisoned bullet.

Wash, rinse and repeat—until the message sinks in.

Clover Hughes doesn’t do cats. She knows that. Her heart and brain know that.

But the rest of her body isn’t listening.

Kane

Daniella Marquardt is a woman with big curves and even bigger problems. Her dead sister left behind a baby, and even if the man sitting in jail isn’t the baby daddy, he’s trying to get custody for his own sinister purposes.

Ready to flee the state, Daniella makes one last stop at a secretive company to find the man who tried to save her sister while delivering the baby.

She isn’t there for help, she just wants to thank him. For all she knows, Trent Kane probably works in accounting—or maybe the tech department.

Never in a million years would she suspect he’s the big, bad Chief Operating Officer of a private military company with unlimited resources. When she does meet him, she doubts a man with such a hard heart and cold demeanor would be interested in saving her niece a second time.

For Trent Kane, he figures the curvy beauty is there to sue him and wants her out of his office. When he discovers the threat to Daniella’s niece, he won’t let the woman refuse his help.

But even though a part of him wants Daniella, he’s determined to keep her at arm’s length. He doesn’t do relationships. He doesn’t even do second dates.

As far as he is concerned, love is for the weak.

*titles also available separately*

Six scorching paranormal romances featuring shapeshifters discovering their mates. Filled with magic (and a fluffy witch or two), these stories include were-bikers, werewolves, a mighty dragon and a … well, no one is exactly sure what Loramon is.

RIDE THE WICKED WOODSMAN

Onyx Parry is a city wolf. She’s not supposed to be in my woods, the scent of her heat sending my pack’s unmated males into a lust rage.

Running for her life, she lands on my doorstep, one word falling from her trembling red lips.

Sanctuary…

Somehow, we make it through the night, my appetite for her lush body unabated and growing. But the trouble she brought with her is just beginning.

The morning sun rises on the males of my pack outside my door, the angry revving of their motorcycles serving as howls of protest over the prize denied.

The period of sanctuary is over.

But I’m not just pack alpha. I’m president of the Wicked Woodsmen MC and, among the shifters of Night Falls, my word is law.

One roar and the entire valley knows…

The she-wolf is mine.

COMES NOW THE WICKED WOODSMAN

For five agonizing years, I have tried to push Paisley Williams out of my life. She’s human, which makes her a danger to the shapeshifters in Night Falls.

She’s also my little sister’s best friend.

With a shooter targeting the pack and Paisley stuck in the middle, the only way to keep her safe is to hold her close.

Too bad she hates me.

CURVE DREAMS

For over a millennia, I’ve amassed an unimaginable fortune. But precious metals and rare gems cannot buy what I most desire — a mate who will ensure I’m not the last of my kind.

So I created a company to manufacture and sell unique toys guaranteed to unleash every woman’s inner beast. The toys are bait and the videos that buyers upload to the forums are a digital casting couch for the future Mrs. Morgan Stern.

The latest upload blows more than my mind as a big beauty conquers our largest toy, the one modeled after my anatomy.

The real kicker? My mate is closer to home than I ever could have dreamed.

WOLF CURVES

Leah Howard doesn’t believe in werewolves, even if she dreams of shifting. Pack alpha Seth Gladwin can’t understand why a human female is ringing all his mating bells. So, when Seth chases Leah down and partially shifts in front of her, he wants nothing more than a forgetting spell placed on her so he can continue investigating a secret society of Hunters intent on annihilating the local werewolf clan.

Only this time, the society’s prey isn’t shifters — it’s Leah.

CURVE CHARM

The sheltering of new latents threatens to expose the local wolf clan’s location. To strengthen the magic protecting their land, the clan’s leader demands an ancient ritual that will bring Esme and Dana together for one sexually charged night but could drive them apart forever — if the Hunters don’t kill them first.

ALPHA CURVES

Nine months have passed since the influx of latents onto clan lands began. For Cade Mercer, the time has been a season in purgatory as he leads his team on a series of dangerous runs to locate mates for other shifters — a sour, jagged pill to swallow when his own mate disappeared more than a dozen years ago.

When the current rescue goes south in a hurry, Cade is more than a little tempted to follow his teammate’s suggestion and throw the woman they seek back into the “latent pool.”

Until he smells her and all hell breaks loose…

Rich Man’s Woman

On Amazon US UK CA AU | Nook | All Romance (pending elsewhere)

*if you purchased It Takes a Billionaire, don’t buy this – also two of the titles included have been in multi-author box sets, so read the descriptions before buying and PRICE GOES UP SOON*

This single author box set features four standalone novellas of billionaires and the curvy beauties who conquer their hearts.

CURVE CONTRACT

Plus-size business owner Pippa Jones is in dire straits. Before disappearing, her accountant floated himself a big “loan” instead of paying her PR firm’s income and payroll taxes. Even if PJ can avoid criminal prosecution, she’s going to have to sell everything she has and lay off all her employees, including her best friend!

Enter billionaire Blake Cross, her firm’s biggest client and a notorious playboy. Discovering she’s in trouble, he makes an offer that will fix both their problems. All she has to do is marry him and make it look real.

24/7.

With Blake calling her “baby” and “love” while his unyielding hands and mouth worship her body publicly and privately, Pippa’s starting to realize that the cost of saving her company just might be a broken heart.

CURVE LULLABY

Big girl Starla Parks has spent two frustrating years working for wealthy philanthropist Cole Mason as his personal assistant. Don’t get her wrong, the man is a saint — with the body and face of a very dirty angel. Deep down, however, she is certain no matter how egalitarian and sweet Cole really is, he’s just too rich, too handsome, too everything, to notice the way his plump Girl Friday feels about him. She’s just happy to work by his side and entertain a few choice fantasies after hours.

Happy, that is, until she stumbles across a secret folder on his laptop, one filled with plus-size sleeping beauties ravished as they slumber. When Cole requires Starla to spend that very weekend at his private estate on a rush charity project, she begins to wonder — what would happen if she staged her own sleep in? Could his secret kink make her fantasy finally come true?

BIG LIKE TEXAS

Twice a tornado turned my life upside down. The first one put my daddy in the hospital and out of a job. It cost us our house and any chance of me going to college full-time. It blew in from the southwest of town.

The second one thundered in from the northeast — Hawk McKinley, full of New York brass and driving a coal black vintage Mustang. I should have left his fine behind on the side of the road. But momma raised me to hide my Texas sass, be a good girl — and cut my own hickory switch when I wasn’t.

So I stopped and now the storm is blowing my way, another funnel cloud ready to rip through my life and all I’ve got to hold onto is Hawk, muscles on top of muscles, bare chested and dripping wet with small drops of rain that I want to lick from his tanned skin.

I don’t think I can win his game of north versus south, but, heaven forgive me, I sure as heck am going to play.

CURVES FOR HER BILLIONAIRES

Plus-size beauty Casey Mack has gone from barely making ends meet to executive assistant at the hottest growth company of the last decade. The only problem is that she serves all three of the top executives, each as delicious and demanding as the other and all intent on having Casey in their lives, and their bed, forever. With the company on the verge of a research breakthrough that could change the world, their enemies will stop at nothing to take them down, including targeting the one woman who means everything to them.

ONE LAST MISSION – CAPTURE HER HEART

Each of the three modern day warriors in this erotic romance collection has one last mission — capture the heart of the woman he loves.

DIRTY SWEET CURVES (also sold separately)

Stopping at a strip club from his younger days, former Army Captain Thomas Wylie wants nothing more than the best pork rub in all of Memphis. But the club has changed. Like Wylie, it’s gotten harder and rough around the edges.

Determined to finish his limp cheeseburger and leave, he’s all but out the door when a plus-size beauty walks on stage and starts to dance amid catcalls and disgruntled hisses.

Working the pole under the stage name of Gaia, Rhea Butler knows she’s more than twice the size of the next largest dancer at the club. She’s reminded three times a night, six nights a week as she starts each shift and has to win the audience over one jeering patron at a time.

Rhea doesn’t want the men’s admiration, just their money. She has a debt she can never work off, but she’s doing the best she can, one dance at a time. She’s certain that’s all life has on tap for her — until Wylie shows up at her other job determined to prove her wrong.

CURVE DRILL (also sold separately)

Teague Allen is a former Spec Ops soldier who has recently returned home to L.A. and gets conned by a buddy to fill in as a fitness instructor.

Charlie is the plus-size beauty who won’t give him the time of day, let alone her phone number, especially after Teague has the audacity to tuck his number and address in the band of her workout pants like she’s some kind of stripper!

So what if she fantasizes about him for a week straight and checks him out online, going so far as to look at the county property records for the address he gave her.

It’s not like she’s ever going to his house.

Unless, of course, she finds herself stranded on a nearby street on a hot summer afternoon.

But that totally doesn’t mean she’s going to act on those dirty fantasies.

Right?

MOSKVA (also sold separately)

Former FSB undercover agent Mikhael Nazarov left the crime family his mother married into with a gun to his head and a fire under his feet. Now he’s back to rescue Alina Rodchenko from a kill order. But will Alina trust a man who abandoned her to a decade of pain and a secret she’s willing to die for?

Once upon a time, the ocean fascinated me with its unending beauty and otherworldly creatures. Now, its mere image terrifies me. Maybe that’s not a big deal for most people, but I spent the last four years studying to become a marine biologist.

That’s not the worst of it. Corwin Hale, the big, bad Navy SEAL I’ve known forever, finds out about my sudden phobia and insists on fixing me. That’s not the solution I need. All Corwin can do is lead me into the deepest waters of my life and break my heart.

But I can’t tell him that — he doesn’t know I’m in love with him.
