Snippet from A Talent in Your Lies

Hi all,

This little scene is just so typical of Romeo and Julian that it makes me smile. It finds Romeo and Julian after a little clash with Barnes, the junior agent.


Romeo, for his part, had the grace not to gloat. There was a faint giveaway gleam of glee in his eyes, but he kept his face averted so that Barnes at least couldn’t read his expression.
“Are you coming or what?” Julian snapped at him when it appeared that he wasn’t going to follow.
“Oh, you mean you want me to be present during the questioning?”
“Yes. And just so we’re clear—present means you get to watch and listen, but you keep your mouth shut. I’m asking the questions, got it?”
“Watch, listen, and shut mouth. Yep, got it,” Romeo answered with a grin that did absolutely nothing to mollify Julian’s temper. At least he indeed kept his mouth shut after that and followed Julian to the interrogation rooms.

FBI agent Julian Harris realizes that when it comes to his new consultant Romeo, being close to someone and knowing them are two entirely different things.Two weeks into their new work relationship, Romeo and Julian have the first real case on their sheet. A stolen painting not only requires former art thief Romeo's expertise, it also gives Julian the chance to find out more about the man who shares his bed but has yet to tell him his real name.

Hi all,

Yes, I'm fooling around again today. Alex Carreras, who was on my blog just a few days ago (what do you mean, you missed him?

He's come up with some questions that will really pique your interest, so if you want to know what I think of vanilla, among other things, hop on over.

Sneak Peek: A Life as a Ghost - Romeo & Julian 3

Hi all, 

The cover questionnaire for A Life as a Ghost (Romeo & Julian 3) went back to Siren last night. Wanna know what was on it? Yeah, I know you do, so here's the blurb, fresh off the press, so to speak: 



The tragic losses of his home and a dear one take FBI agent Julian Harris one step closer to a shared life with his consultant and lover, former art thief Romeo aka Paris Moore. They have just moved in together and are trying to re-establish a certain normalcy when Romeo once again shuffles the cards. He surprises Julian by finally revealing some information about his true identity along with some unexpected news regarding his position in Julian's division. During the nerve-wrecking hunt for the person that has been pulling the strings all along, Julian once again comes to realise that when dealing with Romeo, the only certainty is that all is not as it seems. But one question is more important than ever—after leading a life as a ghost for years, will Romeo’s love for Julian be strong enough to make him settle at last?
 While you wait for this book to release, why don't you grab the two previous books in the series and get a head start in this thrilling cat-and-mouse play?


When FBI special agent Julian Harris finally corners art thief and cat-burglar Romeo he's planning to put the man first in handcuffs and then behind bars. Instead, he finds himself first trapped in a house in the mountains by a blizzard and then captivated by Romeo's irresistible charm. One thing leads to another and after a night spent together, Julian wakes up alone with his pride bruised and his heart stolen. Almost a year later, a twist of fate brings them back together and their mutual attraction sparks up again instantly but events take on a dynamic that could have at least one of them wind up dead. Blackmailed into a precarious break-in, Romeo has to choose between Julian's life and his own safety while all the time, there are two questions on Julian's mind: Who is this slick and sexy thief really and where does his true loyalty lie?

Tuesday Teaser: Clair de Lune

Hi all,

Today's Tuesday Teaser has been here once before, not so long ago. She's best known as the reputable grandma who writes BDSM books - well, she's a grandma all right but keeps arguing the reputable - and now she's started a brand new series, the Cairngorm Dragons. Ladies & Gentlemen, please welcome Clair de Lune




When I went on holiday to Moray last year I little dreamed that I would spend a lot of my time writing, not just one, but two books in a new genre. One of the excursions we decided to do was to Loch Ness. It was years since I'd been there. We'd taken our children to visit the loch and the museum and now my eldest son was taking his children to do the same. He drove us along the banks of the loch and I got out to take photos. The water is deep and dark. The loch lies in a valley with fairly steep sides in some places and you can feel the mystery and menace as you gaze into the waters. The refrain of an old song repeated in my brain. "There is a monster in Loch Ness, the fact ye cannae hide." A voice whispered in my ear what if there really were a monster in there? What would it look like? Suddenly my mind was full of dragon shape-shifters. I got back into the car got out my notebook and began to write. Ever spare minute was spent writing, even watching the Olympics. I sat on the beach at Findhorn with my grandchildren making sand castles and wrote. I enjoyed creating a new world with its roots in Scotland but with the freedom to give my dragon lords all sorts of fantastic powers, some of which got them into hot water with their chosen ladies. Thank you for having me on your blog Sage. It's always a pleasure to visit. 

And here are the fabulous books in the Cairngorm Dragons series  Dragon's Mate (MF)

Braemuir is the chieftain of the Clan and a shape-shifter. He must find a mate and impregnate her before the Gathering of the Clan at the Summer Solstice if he is to stave off a challenge for the leadership.
An unknown black dragon and his mate are trying to get rid of Braemuir in order to keep the Clan treasure for themselves. When Eilidh NicDhoughal mates with Braemuir, she becomes able to shape-shift, too, but being Braemuir’s mate puts a target on her back—and if one of a mated pair dies, the other will die, too.
As Braemuir struggles to keep Eilidh safe from the black dragon’s attempts to dispose of them, a battle ensues amongst the dragons. Just when the identity of the black dragon is finally discovered, Braemuir gets another shock that will change his world forever.

A Siren Erotic Romance


 Adult excerpt:

“Why didn’t you believe me? Why didn’t you trust me?” “I don’t know. I didn’t think you would want me when you could have her. She’s so much more beautiful than I am. She’s clever, too,” she whispered.“Do you believe me now? Will you trust me, whatever anyone else says?” he demanded.“Yes, my lord. I do, I will.”She went into his arms and he held her close. Then he bent and picked up the bottle with the potion in it. He hurled it against a rock, where the bottle shattered into a thousand pieces. The potion sank into the sand. He placed his hand on her belly and said, “Our son is safe now.”He led her to a rock, and he sat down upon it, turned her over his knee, and spanked her plump, little bottom soundly. She squirmed and wriggled and cursed, to no avail. He spanked her until his hand hurt, and her bottom was red and glowing. Her cream ran down her legs, and she wriggled her pussy against his leg. He read her contrition in her thoughts, and he was content. He let her up and cuddled her close.“If ever you make me so afraid again, you won’t sit comfortably for a se’nnight.”He turned her, and he rubbed her bottom. He bent to kiss each plump cheek in turn. Then he cuddled her close again and buried his face in her hair.“My love, I thought I’d lost you and our child. Don’t allow another to so influence you again. If you have doubts, come to me. You may read, in my mind, what the truth of the matter is.”“I promise, my lord,” she said.He turned her again and instructed her to bend over the rock and hold on tight.“This will be hard and fast,” he promised her.He entered her from behind, clutching her hips and pounding into her hot, wet, willing cunt. She ground her bottom into his groin, in spite of her sore cheeks. He read in her mind that the bite of pain added to her arousal and her enjoyment. He reached around and rubbed her between the swollen puffy lips of her pussy. Her cream ran down her thighs. His strong fingers rubbed, pinched, and flicked her little pearl. She came in a rush, moaning and sobbing in her pleasure. Her pussy muscles convulsed around his cock, squeezing and milking him as he thrust his rigid length into her as far as it would go, and then he drew it out and did it over and over until he came with a roar. His hot seed filled her. He collapsed on top of her. When his heart had slowed, he lifted off her and withdrew his softening cock. He stripped her and walked down to the sea. He walked into the sea with her then tossed her into the waves. She came up spluttering and laughing. They swam and frolicked in the waves until, tired, they came out and he dried her with his plaid.

A Siren Erotic Romance


  Adult excerpt:

She jumped up and ran off.“You’ll have to catch me first, my lord of Ness.”He was up and after her, in a trice. His longer legs meant he could run faster, but she was very nimble on her feet, and she dodged him very successfully. Eventually, she tired and he caught her. Holding her tight with her arms to her sides, she was helpless. “Now, little rabbit. What sort of punishment do you deserve for running from your lord and master?”“It’s hardly my fault that you couldn’t catch me sooner.”“Brave little rabbit, but I said ‘come here,’ and you didn’t. So punishment is due.”His hands felt her bottom, and he kneaded and pinched as she squirmed in his embrace. She squeaked as a firmer pinch to her bottom made her flinch. “My lord of Ness, that’s not fair. I can’t use my hands and arms.”“What would you be doing with your hands, my love?”“Why, pinching your bottom, too, my lord.”He hefted her over his shoulder. Her arms dangled down his back and his hands held her in place. She tried to reach his behind, covered in his plaid, but she couldn’t. He, on the other hand, used one free hand to caress and tweak her bottom, until she was heated and needy. He carried her from the living area of the hall, up the wide oak staircase, and along the corridor to their room. There he dropped her on the bed, on her stomach. He held her there, her legs dangling off the end. “This is what happens to naughty little rabbits that don’t do as they’re told." He flipped up her skirts and his large hand descended on her bottom. The "crack" as his palm descended took her by surprise, and she squeaked in protest. Then he peppered her globes with his hand, covering both of them equally. She was heated from the dance she’d led him, running hither and thither, and excited from his promise of punishment. However, nothing had prepared her for the arousal she felt as his hand connected with her behind. After a few minutes, he stopped smacking her. His fingers entered her cunt, and she could feel the hot, wet slickness as she stroked.“My, my. This isn’t much of a punishment if it makes you so wet and needy.” He pushed his fingers into her again, as far as they’d go, then pulled them out. He curled them as he usually did, because she felt the stroking over that spot inside her. She squirmed and moaned.“Ohgod, ohgod, ohgod.” He knew just how to drive her wild with desire. Her bottom was throbbing, but that all added to her need of him. “Ness, I need you inside me. Please, my lord. Fuck me now.” He picked up a couple of pillows, lifted her hips, and settled the pillows under her. He straddled her legs, holding her thighs together. Then, his thick, rigid cock was between her legs, and he was pushing into her cunt. He was urgent. She could feel his cock, hot and swollen as he rammed it into her and lifted her. She moaned and tried to move, but in that position, she couldn’t. That aroused her more. The feeling of helplessness, being at the mercy of the man who was pounding into her brought her to climax very swiftly. Her cunt muscles spasmed around his cock. Her hands were clenched in the sheets as waves of excruciating pleasure battered her. His roar, as her milking of his cock brought on his climax, could be heard all over the hall she was sure. No-one would doubt that my lord of Ness had claimed his bride again.

Special Guest: Nicole Morgan - Impetuous



Hi all, 
I'm delighted to welcome a special guest today. She is one of my fellow Siren authors and contemporary or paranormal, her stories feature men in uniforms and lots of twists and turns that will keep you hooked. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Nicole Morgan!

Hi Sage, thanks for having me as a guest here today! I’m very excited to be here and to talk about my newest release, Impetuous [Incessant Passions 1]. My past year has been very busy. A lot of writing, planning a wedding and then there were the holidays, so it’s been months since I had a new baby released. Also, in less than two weeks the 2nd book in the Incessant Passions series will be released. So look for Tempestuous on January 24th. Without further adieu, here is my new baby, Impetuous


The Callaway Corporation recently bought the high-end resort property Jenny Jacobson manages. In that time, they have micromanaged both her and it into the ground. With no budget for repairs she does most of the work herself. She proves to be pretty handy with most of the daily mishaps, until she meets the mysterious drifter, Thomas Beck.
In the middle of a plumbing emergency, Beck comes to her rescue and fixes the problem, saving her from further disaster and costly repairs. Despite her best attempts, she cannot seem to get away from this man who shows up at every turn.
Regardless of her cold treatment toward him, he turns on his charms. Will his cocky arrogance mixed with his sexy smile break down her tough exterior? If so, what secrets is Beck keeping that could ultimately ruin any chance they have to find happiness together?

EROTIC EXCERPT:
Her creamy skin looked flawless against the backdrop of the crisp white sheets. With both hands, he firmly held her legs apart and loomed just above her already slick folds. He could see the glistening moisture already building up and coating her slit. Her excitement and anticipation was evident. Hesitating for a moment, he looked up at her. His eyes met hers for a fire-charged flash in time. Gently he blew on her. From her pussy on up to her nipples he caressed her with nothing more than a gush of air. His actions were rewarded by her moans as she squirmed under the warm tickle of his breath.“Sugar, I hope you’re ready and rested. Because I’m going to lick you, taste you, and suck up every last succulent drop you have to offer me.”This time he didn’t hesitate. His hunger wouldn’t allow it. Dropping his head down, he darted his tongue out and slid it between her moistened lips. Her slit was even wetter than he expected. And so fucking hot he thought his tongue might catch fire. He had been right in his earlier prediction. She was the sweetest of all the fruits. Like candied ambrosia, her flavor just seeped into his soul and took hold of him. His tongue moved up and down several times at her slick entrance. As good as she tasted, he enjoyed the tease it provided. She was already fighting him and writhing beneath his ministrations as soft whimpers escaped her. Judging from her body’s response last night and today, he knew she was already getting close. As much as he wanted to taste the honeyed nectar she’d surely provide him in orgasm, he wanted to slow down and prolong her pleasure.Removing his tongue, he traced small circles around the outer part of her pussy, from one inner thigh to the other, the whole time touching her delicately, taunting her with featherlike kisses.Her skin was so smooth under his tongue he wondered if she was even real. Maybe she was a goddess that he dreamed up. Some sort of muse sent down from a mythical land to seduce him in his wildest dreams. He fought back a laugh at the thought. If she were, she was damn good at what she did, but even his deepest fantasies had never been this good.Her fingers ran through his hair, and she whispered, “Beck, please…”He was never one to watch a woman suffer, but he had to admit his ego did swell almost as big as his cock from her pleas. It turned him on to know she needed it so badly she wasn’t afraid to beg.

Tuesday Teaser: Donna Gallagher



 Hi all, 
Today's Tuesday Teaser is a lovely lady who has come all the way from Australia to answer my questions and tell you about her books. She's addicted to rugby, loves her bubbly and uses it to make the voices in her head talk to her. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Donna Gallagher! 
Hello Donna, thanks for being my guest. Sit back, have a glass of bubbly and relax. We'll start with some easy questions while you're still sober - The business ones  Please give us a short introduction about yourselfFirstly, thank you Sage for inviting me on your blog. My name is Donna Gallagher and I was born and bred in Sydney, Australia. My three great loves are family, footy and fiction. I never imagined that I would be able to combine two of these into a series of books that would be published and still have to pinch myself every now and again to make sure I’m not just dreaming. For someone that left home and school at fifteen to take on the world I always questioned my ability to unleash my muse coherently. I still do battle with those self-doubt issues regularly but lucky for me my Total E Bound editor Amy is always just an email away to give me a *hug* or word of advice.  What genre(s) do you write in and why?My League of Love series are Contemporary Erotic books set around the lives and loves of the fictitious Sydney Jets rugby league team. I didn’t set out with any particular genre in mind it was just the way each story unfolded. I was asked to be a little more explicit in a couple of scenes though! 
Do you need a special setting to write in or do you have a ceremony to get you in the mood? What does it look like?I write when the voices tell me to – mostly sitting at my desk in the family room, usually with the television on a sports channel in the background. I have been known to put pen to paper at my son’s hockey games.
Describe your feelings when you learnt that your first book was accepted for publicationTerror! Followed by a huge dose of gratitude for my fabulous editor.  Has the release of your first book changed anything in your personal life? If so, what?Yes, my youngest son spends a lot of time trying to stay out of my way so I don’t ask his advice. Lol! Poor kid, think I’ve traumatised him for life.
Where do you find inspiration?From the voices in my head!
Who is your favourite character and why?There is a character that stands out and I fear I have a little crush on him. JT is always in my head trying to push his way into every story I tell. He has such a strong personality and I love his loyalty to his friends. He is big and tough but with a good heart, how could I not love him.
A favourite line from one of your books (1)My favourite line is from JT in book two Mandy’s He-man. Not at all sexy or romantic but is the premise of me writing the books. I was sick of all the bad publicity that surrounded sportsman when they did something a bit naughty, the common use of the word ‘role model’ when referring to sports people always annoys me. “Yeah okay some young upstarts should be given one on the chin for the way they acted. Disrespecting the public in displays of uncouth behaviour, but hey people we’re not all angels. Just ‘cause you can play sport doesn’t make you a nice bloke or good role model, just sporty”
A favourite line from one of your books (2)This is when Brodie finally notices that Caitlin is singing at the charity event he has organised. I loved imaging the always in control Brodie stupefied.There she was, standing not more than a few feet away from him. His heart raced, stopped, raced again, and he realised he was caught suspended somewhere between sitting and standing, staring at the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen. She was no girl. He had been wrong. Caitlin was all woman.
Your favourite drink and food when writingI write at so many different times of the day that’s a hard one. I do know that when I get stuck a few pieces of dark chocolate or a glass of bubbly helps.

Ah, the glass is empty already. Great, have another and let's move on to The nosy ones
How much of the real “you” is in your stories?That’s a hard question to answer, at first I would have said none, but I think that would be dishonest. There is a little bit of my experience or emotion in all my characters to some degree and I have always related to Mandy.
Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character? Who was it?I’m still infatuated with Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer days but I think my first crush was Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights. And I must not forget to mention the voice of Optimus Prime from the Transformers movies - gives me goose-bumps.
What’s the silliest error in a book you’ve submitted?Mixing up my heroines names - But I blame JT for this as he is always rabbiting on in my head about Mandy.
Favourite comfort food?Pizza - I love a cheesy vegetarian pizza.
A person you admireI gave this a lot of thought, decided not to bore everyone with Aussie sportsman or the like. So I focussed on authors and kept coming back to the same person – N.J. Walters. I find her books always sweep me up and carry me away and I get so invested in each and every story. She can bring me to tears or fill me with laughter with her writing. I could only wish that my books might affect someone the same way. I have a lot of must read authors but I stop everything for a new NJ book – just ask my family!
If you could ask any person in the world one question of your choice, who would it be and what would you ask them?Following on from the question above I would love to meet NJ in person so my answer would be - I’d ask NJ Walters if she would meet me for a coffee J ( I’m starting to look like a creepy stalker!)
As Donna and I move on to the third glass of bubbly, it's time for The fast ones

Favourite colour? Black - I can hear previously mentioned son saying “Black is not a colour mum.”
Favourite pet?My turtle - He is a Murray River long-neck and about the size of small dinner plate. He often wanders around my house while I’m writing.
Dog or cat?Dog I have a mini fox terrier but would love a husky- that whole looks like a wolf thing.
Coffee or tea?Coffee and don’t stop bringing it. I have coffee with a group of friends every morning. A ritual that started sixteen years ago with us meeting up after dropping our kids to school and has just continued on.
Hunky or chunky?I can do both ;)
Suit & tie or jeans & boots?Jeans and boots easily the winner here and what my husband wears most days. Nothing like denim hugging a good bum or muscled thighs…Mmmm!  Walk in the park or chat over cocktails?Cocktails or Champagne every time.

Thanks so much for stepping by, Donna, and helping me drain this long overdue bottle. And now, folks, read more about Donna's fabulous new book    Mandy's He-Man
Can this rugged mountain of a man really protect her, teach her to trust and love again? Or will the choices she’s made in the past destroy her future?
Having managed to break free from an abusive relationship with a cruel and dominating ex-boyfriend, Australian artist Mandy Magenta—a.k.a. Amanda Smith—should be terrified when she first meets the enormous bulk that is Jonathon ‘JT’ Thomson. He is fierce. Not only is JT the biggest, most muscular man Mandy has ever set eyes on, but he makes a living playing the brutal sport of Rugby League.
So why, then, does Mandy’s body go into lust overdrive at the mere sight of him? She doesn’t feel a hint of alarm as the colours that exist in her mind—created and inspired by her own emotions and her artistic talents—explode with vibrant and passionate intensity. Could JT be the man to remind her that she is still a sensual, amorous woman, a woman deserving of love and tenderness—and can he protect her from the threats her ex has promised to deliver on?

Mandy's He-Man is available from Total-E-Bound now and will become available from all big distributors on January 21st.

 If you've missed the first in the League of Love - series, now's the time to meet 
Caitlin's Hero

But when her parents are tragically killed in a car accident, Caitlin’s life is forced to change. The once carefree girl becomes sole guardian of her stepbrother.

On stage, she leaves her life and its troubles behind. Feeling comfortable and sensuous, she is like a siren calling out to lost souls. It’s on one of these nights that Caitlin begins a romance with Australian Rugby League captain, Brodie James. Brodie, not content with his so-called perfect life and struggling with commitment issues following a disastrous marriage, falls hard for Caitlin.The relationship does not run smoothly for the self-sacrificing Caitlin, as she learns how to deal with Brodie’s nasty, jealous ex-wife, a muck-raking reporter and intrusive but well-meaning rugby fans. Along the way she makes new friends, and awakens the untapped sensual desires of the woman inside.

Author bio:
Sydney-born Donna Gallagher decided at an early age that life needed be tackled head on. In her twenties Donna married a professional sportsman, her love of sport — especially rugby league — probably overriding her good sense. The seven-year marriage was an adventure. There were the emotional ups and downs of having a husband with a public profile in a sometimes glamorous but always high-pressure field. Now happily re-married and with three sons Donna is on an even footing with the keenest man when it comes to watching and talking rugby.
An avid reader, especially of romance, Donna finally found she couldn't stop the characters residing in her imagination from spilling onto paper. Naturally rugby league is the backdrop to her spicy 'League of Love Series' available through UK publisher Total-E-Bound, tales of hunky heroes and spunky heroines overcoming adversity to eventually find true love.
