Everything Bared by Kristine Cayne

Description:

Two polar opposites--she's kinky, he's uptight--discover they share a taboo desire that may destroy both their futures.

Firefighter Dani Harris has always wanted a family, but doesn't think it's possible because of her demanding, high-stakes career. Her sex life is as high-adrenaline as her job, and that's just one more thing that makes her unsuitable to be a wife and mother. Her secret kink--exhibitionism--has gotten in the way of more than one relationship. Will she ever find a man who not only shares her wild fantasies, but loves her for them?

Burdened with ensuring the success of the struggling family business, William Caldwell IV needs a wife suited for a CEO--one with money and connections, who can manage his busy social life and raise their 2.5 children. He's got everything all mapped out, but when he meets Dani, a woman who's every kind of wrong, she taps into desires he's only half-recognized and long-suppressed. Suddenly his carefully crafted five-year plan feels as confining as a straightjacket.

As Dani and Will's sexual experimentation escalates, they test the limits of polite society by baring all and risking exposure--an exposure that could cost them their reputations and careers.

Erotic romance, 18+


Excerpt:

William lowered his head, pausing when their lips were a mere breath away, and whispered, “For the record, I’m very happy you came to see me.”

Dani’s lips parted as if she were going to respond, but he didn’t give her a chance. He melded their mouths together, his tongue sweeping against hers in an erotic dance that brought back all his pent-up desire in seconds. His cock hardened at the taste of her, the scent of her, the feel of her in his arms. Her moans flowed through him, fueling him. He needed to touch her, to have her skin against his. Now.

After a quick glance to make sure the door was closed, he dragged her around his desk and sat in his chair. Her eyes blazed as she straddled his lap. No words were spoken. No words were needed. His hunger for her had to be as evident as hers for him.

Wrapping his hands around her slim waist, he yanked her against his chest. His cock nestled at the apex of her thighs. She ground against him, increasing the pressure, driving them both mad. “I love seeing you in uniform,” he murmured against her lips. The dark blue of her house pants and shirt set off the creaminess of her skin, and her eyes stood out like two perfect Godiva chocolates.

“Wait until you see me in my bunker gear,” she teased, and he wanted to eat her all over again.

But Danielle seemed to have something different in mind. She squeezed her hands between their bodies and began to tug at his belt. “I love seeing you in these fancypants suits. Do you have any idea how hot you look? Those Armani models have nothing on you.”

She paused in her efforts to undress him and traced the erection that ruined the perfect line of his trousers. He groaned and laughed at the same time. “I’ve got a lot of suits.”

“Thank God.” Leaning in, she licked his chin and pressed her lips to his in a scorching kiss that threatened to make him explode on the spot. Finished with his belt, she popped the button and went to work on his zipper.

When her hand slipped inside his pants and snaked down to grip his cock, he let his head fall back. A groan tore through his clenched teeth. “Your hand feels so fucking good.”

Her chuckle had his eyes snapping open. “What?”

“You cursed again. It’s cute.”

This was the second time she’d laughed at him about swearing. Did she think he was a wimp? Not as tough as her firefighter coworkers? Perhaps it was time to teach her a lesson, give her a taste of the man beneath the veneer. “Cute, Ms. Harris?” he said, pinning her with a glare, his voice low and controlled. “Would you like to know what I plan to do to you?”

Her smile faded.

“I’m going spread you out on my desk and pound my cock into your sweet pussy. I’m going to fuck you so hard, you’ll scream. So hard you’ll come until you’ve got absolutely nothing left.” With her legs wrapped around his waist, he pushed to his feet and shoved his papers aside as he lowered her to the polished surface of his desk. “Still think I’m cute?”

Eyes-wide, mouth slack, she shook her head. He fought the urge to grin.

“Good.”

Yanking the hem of her shirt up, he exposed her breasts, encased in a serviceable cotton bra. The peaked nipples poked through the slim white material, making his mouth water. “So beautiful.” He lowered his head, eager to suck one into his mouth when a noise at the door caught his attention.

Reality crashed back as he heard Larissa calling after Torval, who was no doubt beelining for the door. Shit! “Quick, under the desk.” He helped Danielle up and pointed to the enclosed space at his feet.

“You can’t be serious.”

“I am.”

She rolled her eyes, then crawled under the desk. He dropped into his chair and scooted forward, careful to avoid kneeing her in the face. He was going to hell for this, and Danielle would be the one to point out the way.

Whisper Cape Trilogy Blog Tour by Susan Griscom - #Review and #Giveaway

   Celebrating the end of a trilogy is bittersweet. I love all the characters in the Whisper Cape series, but Cael and Addison own my heart and always will. Without them, I don't think I would have become an author. At least not a published one. A Secret Fate, book three is now available.
 The New Release: A Secret Fate (Whisper Cape Book 3)Author: Susan GriscomPublisher: Amber Glow BooksGenre: Adult Paranormal Romance/Suspense

October 31, 2013 is the official release date for the digital format. You can find your copy at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The print book will be available November 14, 2013. If you'd like to know a little bit more about Cael and Addie, here is a link to an interview with them back in 2011 shortly after their first book was published.

A Steamy Paranormal Romance/Suspense

5 Stars Phenomenal Book!!! Top Pick Review
- Night Owl Reviews

A powerful woman, an extraordinary man, and a maniac who wants to destroy them. Fate has brought them together, but will it make them stronger or destroy them all in end?

Escape to a world where the impossible becomes possible and sparks ignite.

WHISPER CAPE is a town of secrets and Addison MacKenna soon becomes tangled in a web of them. Plagued with nightmares of her father's sudden and brutal death, Addie struggles with her anguish and refuses to believe his demise was accidental.

Fighting to shake off one of those devastating early morning nightmares, Addison finds it even harder to escape from the vision of a man lying on the side of the road--a man she may have just killed. When she frantically tries to locate him, he seemingly disappears, just the beginning of strange occurrences in her life. She also cannot ignore the weird sensations in her own body. Suddenly, the impossible seems possible, but is that a blessing or a curse?

Believing that her continual and worsening nightmares are both the key to her own new abilities and the clue to her father's death, Addie knows she will not rest until she has the answers she craves. As she strives to cope with her new remarkable talents, someone else learns of her abilities--a disgruntled maniacal psychopath with his own agenda that involves eliminating Addie. The only one who can protect her, instruct her in the use of her powers and teach her how to destroy the murderous monster is the same man who makes Addie's heart race and her blood heat with passion. The same man she'd left for dead.

Cael Sheridan may be arrogant and mysterious but he's also undeniably gorgeous. A member of a secret society, he is sworn to protect the woman he believes to be the daughter of his recently murdered mentor. In the process, he finds it impossible to resist her magnetic sensuality, complicating his efforts to shield and guide her as she learns to manage her newly acquired skills. At the same time, Addison has much to teach him about trust and commitment. Will fate win in the end? You be the judge.

Kristine Cayne's Review of Whisper Cape - 5 Stars!
I picked this book up because I'm a huge fan of romantic suspense. The fact that it had a paranormal element didn't hurt either. After reading the first page, I knew Whisper Cape would be a winner. The story opens with Addie waking up from a recurring nightmare. My mind instantly filled with questions that needed answers. From Addie's first disastrous encounter with Cael, I was hooked. I liked the hero and the heroine from the start and enjoyed their growing attraction to each other. Their sexual tension was off the charts despite how much Cael fought against it. I enjoyed the cast of secondary characters, and I hope we'll be seeing more of Darcy and Jared!

The suspense line was also very entertaining and served to introduce us to the world of the Sectorium, where people have wonderfully different powers. Cael's mission to find Eidolon (a member of the Sectorium gone rogue) leads him to Whisper Cape where there have been a string of murders of women. As Cael digs deeper into the mystery, he discovers who Addie really is, and who is killing the women.

The romance and the suspense storylines were masterfully intertwined, keeping the tension up and my attention on high alert the entire length of the book. This was a great read and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good suspense and a riveting romance, in a fabulous paranormal world of "super" humans. I'm looking forward to reading Reflections, book 2 in the Whisper Cape series!

Reflections (Whisper Cape book 2)
Publication Date: October 8, 2012

Book 2 in the Steamy Paranormal Romance/Suspense, Whisper Cape Series
What if you heard a voice whispering warnings while you coped with a frightening pregnancy?
Knowing the future has its advantages...or does it?
Can love survive the reflections and memories lost?
Welcome to Maia's world.
Gerry has loved Maia from the very first moment he laid eyes on her and now that she's pregnant with his child, he's over the moon with happiness. Likewise, Maia is overjoyed about having Gerry's baby, but when she starts seeing and hearing an old woman who warns Maia about the pregnancy, Maia starts to think she is losing her mind. But Maia's nightmare has only just begun...

A beautiful woman, the talented lead singer in an up and coming rock band, sets her sights on Gerry determined to rekindle an old flame. But murder befalls the sleepy town of Whisper Cape once again, creating suspicion and betrayal, and a love once considered invincible, begins to crumble and fall apart.

Excerpt from Reflections:

Gerry sat up and rubbed his shoulder. “Thanks, Addie.” He followed her gaze to the place where they had last seen Cael. It pained him, but finally he said, “Addie. Maybe he can’t get back.”

“You don’t think Finn shot him, do you? Cael is strong.”

Gerry shook his head but wasn’t sure if she noticed. “No.”

“Once he got him away from here, I’m sure he used his skills,” she said. “I mean, Cael could take Finn in a fight anytime.”

“He might not be able to come back.” Gerry brushed a strand of hair out of Addie’s face.

“What? What do you mean?” She stood and Gerry got up with her. He moaned a little from the pain and stood next to her.

“I don’t think he got shot. I’m not sure exactly what happened to Cael. When the bullet hit me, I lost balance. He might have received some of my …”

“What? No!” Her face paled and she fought to take in air.

“Breathe,” he said, stroking her back as Maia walked up and stood by her other side.

“I don’t understand.” Her voice was barely a whisper. She walked to where Cael had wrestled with Finn. “What sort of memory were you sending?”

“That’s the problem.” Gerry shook his head. He didn’t want to have to tell Addie that she might never see Cael again.

Kristine Cayne's Review of Reflections - 4 Stars!
Reflections is a great follow-up to Whisper Cape. Maia and Gerry's story is sweet and exciting at the same time. I was especially happy to see Addie and Cael's story continue. The relationships of these two couples play off each other, and it is very interesting to see the differences and similarities, some based on age and maturity, others based on abilities.

Above all, Susan Griscom does family really well, and the interplay between the future and present generations was inspired. All the main characters in this book have been touched by "abilities" in some way, whether they be their own or those of a relative. In some cases, extreme actions were taken to protect those with abilities, actions that caused a great deal of heartache, but were the best choice at the time. Susan does a wonderful job of showing how being different, being more, can be both good and bad.

There were a lot of twists in this story and a completely unexpected ending. All in all, this was a wonderful read and a great addition to the Whisper Cape trilogy.

A Secret Fate (Whisper Cape book 3)
Publication Date: October 31, 2013

Description:
"Well, fate was cruel, wasn't it?"

Cael and Addison’s fate has taken an unexpected turn.

Gerry, Addie and Cael almost captured Careen’s murderer only to lose Cael in the battle—a battle that nearly cost him his life. But despite his survival, he faces a new challenge, thanks to Gerry's handiwork: will Cael remember Addie or is their love lost with him?

Addie’s family and friends think she should keep the relationship a secret from Cael so he isn't forced into feelings he can't remember. Just what she needs, more secrets and on top of everything else, someone stole the crystal. How is she supposed to get over the loss of her lover, a lover she'd barely had for only a few short months and deal with the secret of the lost crystal at the same time?

Aiden wants nothing more than to help Addie overcome her grief and get over Cael. Or is that all he wants? What happens when too many people know the secret and someone slips up?

Teaser Excerpt from A Secret Fate


He lay half on top of her, their legs tangled together on the sofa as their rapid heartbeats slowly returned to normal. He didn’t want to move or let her go, but he’d have to. He needed to get up and leave. How would he ever look Aiden in the eye again? What a mess he’d gotten himself into this time.
She sighed. “That was amazing.” Resting her head on his chest, she leaned her face to his and kissed him, gently, softly, then closed her eyes and rested her head. They stayed that way, silent, for a while.

Kristine Cayne's Review of Reflections - 4.5 Stars!
I was so happy when A Secret Fate was released and even more so when I learned that it was the continuation of Cael and Addie's story. As revealed in the excerpts, Reflections ends with Cael disappearing. This story picks up at that exact moment with a Cael who doesn't remember anything about the previous five years. This means that he doesn't remember anything that happened in the first two books of the series! A Secret Fate is the story of re-discovery, of faith, and trust in the truth of love. I love absolutely everything about this book! It's a fantastic ending to the Whisper Cape trilogy. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys paranormal romances, of the "psychic power" variety, with an intriguing by not too dark suspense thread. A Secret Fate was an absolutely pleasure to read, and the ending was perfect.


About Susan I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania, spending most of my time daydreaming or playing around in the mud. I grew out of the mud play, well, most of the time, a good soak in the mud is always fun. I still daydream often and sometimes my daydreams interrupt my daydreams. So I write to remember them. If I didn't write, I think my mind would explode from an overload of fantasy and weirdness. To the annoyance of my friends and family, my characters sometimes become a part of my world. During my childhood, I would frequently get in trouble in school for daydreaming. Eventually, my vivid imagination paid off and I had the privilege of writing and co-directing my sixth-grade class play—a dreadful disaster, though not from my writing, of course. I'm pretty sure it was the acting.

I enjoy writing about characters living in small quaint towns and tend to lean toward the unusual and edgy.

My paranormal playing field delves into a different milieu, abandoning vampires and werewolves, but not discounting them. Someday I might like to write a novel about vamps and those furry creatures. But for now I like the bizarre mixed with romance. A strong hero or heroine confronted with extraordinary forces of nature, powers and capabilities gets my blood running hot as does an steamy contemporary romantic suspense.

Fender Bender Blues by Niecey Roy: Her life took a wrong turn. He's driven by success. They didn't count on crashing into love...

Rachel Bennett loved her job until the day she finds herself doubting her choices.  Now she's hunting for a new career, but starting over isn't easy.  Her plan is simple—no distractions until she finds her dream job.  She didn't plan on fate throwing her a curveball in the form of a fender bender with a sexy guy in an expensive suit.

Craig Larsen is a wealthy, successful business owner with a plan of his own: survive his current PR nightmare and stay away from his overly determined ex-girlfriend.  His need for control and personal success is turned upside down when he meets Rach, a sassy redhead who can't drive.

Soon they find themselves battling with Rach's grumpy old neighbor, toilet-papering the trees of a high school nemesis, and fighting over the last slice of pizza.  Can two very different people plus one fender bender equal a chance at forever?


An Illusion of Trust, Book 2 of the Bahia de Sueños Novels by Linda Cassidy Lewis: In this sequel to The Brevity of Roses, Renee Vaziri discovers that even when your dreams come true your nightmares remain.

When Renee Marshall locked the door on her dark past and married Jalal Vaziri, she hoped for a quiet life in a California coastal town. Now, with a sexy, adoring, wealthy husband, one beautiful child and another on the way, she dares to believe happily ever after could be her future. But doors don't always stay locked. As the stress of living in Jalal's high-society world increases, the traumas of Renee's past begin to poison the present and threaten to destroy everything she treasures.


Is it her imagination or is Jalal keeping a secret that will end their marriage and rip her children from her life? And could it involve Diane, the woman who reminds Renee too much of Jalal's beloved first wife?


Wilder's Woman by Laura Taylor: Former federal prosecutor, now ex-con, Craig Wilder once symbolized the very best of the justice system, until a vengeful man and a faithless wife transformed his world into a living hell. No one knows the true extent of the damage done to Victim Advocate Tasha Lockridge - not even ex-husband Craig Wilder. Tasha's fierce determination fuels her now that she's found the evidence to vindicate Craig. She vows to fight for him, for the restoration of his reputation, for a reversal of his conviction, and for the rescue of his soul. Convincing Craig that she is his best ally is just the first battle in their seductive war of wills. This is a war Tasha intends to win. Only then will Craig Wilder realize that Tasha Lockridge has always been and will always be ... WILDER'S WOMAN.




Moon Beach Magic by Natasha Alexander: As Vince’s world explodes behind him, he flees his dead-end life for a fresh start in sleepy Moon Beach. But when a land-hungry con artist shows up in town, Moon Beach becomes anything but tranquil.

Now Vince and his to die for burnt sugar ricotta pastries, a feisty octogenarian with a major stake in prime coastal real estate, a beautiful young woman with a penchant for scrap metal and forgery, and the local wildlife must all join forces to try to save the beach–and each other–from an environmental disaster.

Greed. Deception. Sleaze. Dynamite. Definitely a recipe for trouble in paradise.

Unless adding a bit of Moon Beach magic to the mix can conjure up a generous helping of just desserts for everyone instead.

Everything Bared will be available everywhere on Nov. 12th, including Barnes and Noble!

Everything Bared is the story of Dani Harris, a firefighter on Jamie Caldwell's technical rescue team, and William Caldwell, Jamie's younger brother. Both Dani and William appear in the earlier books in the series, and the tension between this oil-and-water pair sizzles from the start.
DescriptionTwo polar opposites—she’s kinky, he’s uptight—discover they share a taboo desire that may destroy both their futures. 

Firefighter Dani Harris has always wanted a family, but doesn’t think it’s possible because of her demanding, high-stakes career. Her sex life is as high-adrenaline as her job, and that’s just one more thing that makes her unsuitable to be a wife and mother. Her secret kink—exhibitionism—has gotten in the way of more than one relationship. Will she ever find a man who not only shares her wild fantasies, but loves her for them?

Burdened with ensuring the success of the struggling family business, William Caldwell IV needs a wife suited for a CEO—one with money and connections, who can manage his busy social life and raise their 2.5 children. He’s got everything all mapped out, but when he meets Dani, a woman who’s nothing but every kind of wrong, she taps into desires he’s only half-recognized and long-suppressed. Suddenly his carefully crafted five-year plan feels as confining as a straightjacket.

As Dani and Will’s sexual experimentation escalates, they test the limits of polite society by baring all and risking exposure—an exposure that could cost them their reputations and careers.

As he finds himself in a complex world of betrayal, dangerous alien biotechnology, and a dimensional rift to a world of waking nightmares, can he bring together the fragments of his broken mind in time to save his family, or is everything he thinks he knows just another figment of a deluded killer’s imagination?

Is there an actress or model or woman you see playing Elaine in a movie? 
Saoirse Ronan is a bit young, but she has the right look. Audre Tautou or Kiera Knightly from about ten years ago would work, but my 1st choice would be: Sarah Bolger, the Irish actress who played Mary in The Tudors.

A Character Interview with Elaine
1. Hello Elaine, welcome out into the world, did you have any problems sneaking past Mr. Carrico?
A. Hello, and thank you. Getting past Mister Carrico isn’t tricky, but I do tend to over-plan. On one hand, he doesn’t sleep as much as he should. But when he does, he’s out for the count. My super power-that’s how we’re supposed to refer to our abilities-can be pretty helpful when I don’t want to be noticed.

2. Can I get you some coffee, tea, soda, or something a little harder to drink?
A.Oh, that would be great. Earl Grey? Sweet, please, with a drop of cream. Is it just me, or does the bergamot oil after-taste remind you of Fruit Loops?

3. Now, how have you been handling life since the debut of Episode 1 of Sand: The Shadow of the World?
A. Believe it or not, I’ve been busier than ever, and that should send chills up your spine. There has to be some seriously bad stuff going on in the world for me to burn the candle at both ends. The work we put into the first episode is behind us, but that was, like, totally just the beginning for us. With everything going on in episodes two and three, I haven’t had time to let it sink in.

4. Any major paparazzi run ins? 
A. <laughs> Paparazzi? Actually, yes. But it’s not the way you’re thinking, I guarantee it. I was at a hotel where a certain politician was trying wait out a certain scandal. Let’s just say someone tweeted something they shouldn’t have and dozens of the vultures were circling the place in minutes. It was a shame, but it worked out great for the job I was doing at the time.

5. Do Wayne or Sam have a tendency to hog the spotlight now that the book is out? 
A. Wayne doesn’t have to hog the spotlight. It follows him like a lost puppy. Sure, he comes across all “I just want to be normal,” which personally, has never made a bit of sense to me. I mean, who wants to be a secretary or work in a call center when you could be a freaking super hero? Anyway, Wayne used to be a big-shot detective in the old days. He closed some pretty high profile corruption cases, made a few friends and a bunch of enemies in high places. He’s so used to the spotlight, when he sees one, he assumes it’s there for him. He can’t help it. Sam is pretty invisible when it comes to that sort of thing. That’s how he likes it.

6. The story is bringing back the Serial Novella, how do you feel about that concept?
A. I thinks it’s about time. I like to read as much as the next girl (I can just hear Mister Carrico cracking inappropriate jokes about how girls can’t read or drive. Sometimes he is positively palaeolithic. Don’t worry, he’ll get his due), but who has time these days? I’m even working in my sleep half the time! I love the idea of a reading a good story in one sitting without having to use vacation days to finish it.

7. How would you define your personal role in the story? 
A. My personal role in The Shadow of the World is sort of a mother figure for Wayne, which is a little creepy. I’m literally half his age. But he is in a tough place, and I am his psychiatrist. We have some history that he hasn’t remembered yet, too, and I think I’m happy keeping it that way. No, before you ask. Not romantic history. I mean, look at me. I’m a twenty four year old forensic psychiatrist super hero. I’m not that hard to look at, either. I could do much better than a brooding, slightly mad, ex-cop my father’s age. But we don’t get to see very much about me on a personal level yet. Mister Carrico is pretty tight lipped with letting information slip out.

8. How would you characterize your pivotal role in the tale being told?
A. It’s my job in this episode to get Wayne to remember. Sam and I are going to be relying on him pretty heavily in future episodes, and he needs to break through these mental blocks and blackouts or he won’t be firing on all cylinders. I’ve unexpectedly had to step into a leadership role with… my employer. So a lot of what I’m doing is the less glamorous, behind the scenes stuff; you know, getting the band back together, making sure the instruments still work, getting everyone to the show on time, so to speak.

9. Who do you think is hotter, Wayne or Sam? (If neither, say so... and the next question would be: Do tell, what is your perfect man like?)
A. Personally, neither is my type, but if I had to pick just one to keep on a deserted island, it would be Sam. Hands down. I like the strong, silent type, and he’s a reliable “just do it” sort of guy. Plus, he’s got kind of a Idris Elba thing going on. Not too shabby.

My perfect man? When I’m awake, right? Hmm… He’s there when I need him, gone when I don’t. Makes the plans, but doesn’t mind when I change them. Physically fit, and as improbable as it sounds, with my IQ or better. Sorry, but sexy without smart is like Louis without Vuitton, or a hipo with no campus.

10. Does it ever get hard to maintain your femininity, needing to be strict and commanding in the workplace?
A. Ooh, good question. That’s actually very important to me. My role and the jobs I get are based on my abilities—sorry, super powers. Different people will see me in very different ways, depending on what I need to get out of them. If they need sophisticated and in command, like Wayne, that’s what they’ll get. If they need a young, vulnerable or incompetent little girl to make them feel brave, guess what? That’s how they’ll see me. The only way I get to actually be myself most of the time is with fashion, and no matter what role I have to fill, I’ll do it with feminine grace and style. Of course, I don’t think being strict and commanding is necessarily mutually exclusive with being feminine. If done properly, a woman can be both. I’m one who doesn’t mind tweaking the traditional perceptions of femininity as it suites my needs, so by my own definition, I’m always feminine.

11. Are you always a worker bee, or do you like to let your hair down and party?
A. I’m very careful about letting my hair down. I was never one to go wild, but like everyone, I do have ways of letting off steam and enjoying myself.

12. What do you do when you let your hair down?
A. I have two major ways of indulging my Id. As I just hinted, I love shopping for clothes. I have a couple of favorite stores and designers, but in my secret, non-super fantasy, I think I’m a pretty fashion designer. I’ve even worn a few outfits of my own design out in public with very minimal ridicule. After a really stressful weak, when scissors and sewing needles aren’t enough, I go the range and blow away paper bad guys. It beats a drunk groping at a nightclub, any day.

13. Between you and me, do you have any top secret information you can share from Episode Two? Trust me Mr. Carrico will never know you said a thing.
A. Um, all right. As long as it’s just between us. Mister Carrico is tentatively calling the next episode “Phantom Shift,” against my advice. Sure, it sounds kind of cool, but it refers to a very dull technical process in self-replicating dinucleic, or dual-core as I like to call them, particles we’ve reverse engineered from alien matter in our secret laboratories under the hosp… well, you don’t want to hear about that. But you see what I mean, right? It’’s very boring stuff if you’re uninitiated in the ways toteccan particle physics and isogen multi-phase power cores, which is everyone who doesn’t work in our lab.
<looks at her blinking tablet>
Thanks so much for having me here today. It’s nice to get away from the grind for a while, but duty calls. That was excellent Earl Grey, by the way. I’ll see you in Episode Two!

Description:
After a not-so-wonderful young adulthood—shuffled from one foster home to another—Lena Benton had hoped marriage would be her ticket to happiness. Wedded a year after high school graduation, Lena was certain she’d found her knight. But when Troy Harington’s true colors surface shortly after their glorious day of elopement, things aren’t quite as rosy as Lena had envisioned. When an unforeseen event turns ugly, all she can do is ... run!
But does she run far enough?
Jackson Beaumont prides himself on being a nature-loving, guitar-strumming carefree sort of guy, known for his eagerness to help injured animals find their way back into the wild. When Lena Benton walks into his bar, he’s once again swept off his feet with concern and desire to help the wounded. Will he risk having his heart torn apart again when the memory of the fawn he rescued as a child resurfaces?

Something about Susan I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania, spending most of my time daydreaming or playing around in the mud. I grew out of the mud play, well, most of the time, a good soak in the mud is always fun. I still daydream often and sometimes my daydreams interrupt my daydreams. So, I write to remember them. If I didn't write, I think my mind would explode from an overload of fantasy and weirdness. To the annoyance of my friends and family, my characters sometimes become a part of my world. During my childhood, I would frequently get in trouble in school for daydreaming. Eventually, my vivid imagination paid off and I had the privilege of writing and co-directing my sixth-grade class play--a dreadful disaster, though not from my writing, of course. I'm pretty sure it was the acting.
I enjoy writing about characters living in small quaint towns and sometimes they tend to lean toward the unusual and edgy.
My paranormal playing field delves into a different milieu, abandoning vampires and werewolves, but not discounting them. Someday I might like to write a novel about vamps and those furry creatures. But for now I like the bizarre mixed with romance. A strong hero or heroine confronted with extraordinary forces of nature, powers and capabilities gets my blood running hot as does a steamy contemporary romantic suspense. Author Links:

Everything Bared is the story of Dani Harris, a firefighter on Jamie Caldwell's technical rescue team, and William Caldwell, Jamie's younger brother. Both Dani and William appear in the earlier books in the series, and the tension between this oil-and-water pair sizzles from the start.
DescriptionTwo polar opposites—she’s kinky, he’s uptight—discover they share a taboo desire that may destroy both their futures. 

Firefighter Dani Harris has always wanted a family, but doesn’t think it’s possible because of her demanding, high-stakes career. Her sex life is as high-adrenaline as her job, and that’s just one more thing that makes her unsuitable to be a wife and mother. Her secret kink—exhibitionism—has gotten in the way of more than one relationship. Will she ever find a man who not only shares her wild fantasies, but loves her for them?

Burdened with ensuring the success of the struggling family business, William Caldwell IV needs a wife suited for a CEO—one with money and connections, who can manage his busy social life and raise their 2.5 children. He’s got everything all mapped out, but when he meets Dani, a woman who’s nothing but every kind of wrong, she taps into desires he’s only half-recognized and long-suppressed. Suddenly his carefully crafted five-year plan feels as confining as a straightjacket.

As Dani and Will’s sexual experimentation escalates, they test the limits of polite society by baring all and risking exposure—an exposure that could cost them their reputations and careers.
