Heads: Vampire cover art is here!



Charlotte believes love only exists in fairy tales, but agrees to attend a New Year’s Eve party as a favor to a friend. A coin toss saddles her with a snobbish, immaculate vampire with a big ego, one who makes her grind her teeth and pester with silly questions.

Ethan can’t believe he’s set up with a human female, one with horrendous taste in  interior decortating and a quirky inquisitiveness that pricks at his final nerve. Unfortunately, the cards are stacked against him from the moment they meet. Danger and disaster bring them together, forcing them to lean on one another for survival.

Can they move past their vast species differences and find true love?




 I love this one! Anna did a great job!

Release date Jan. 26th from Silver Publishing.

Silver just contracted Blue Blood's Trifecta, Wind Warriors #6!

Silver Publishing just contracted Blue Blood's Trifecta, Wind Warriors #6! 

I'm still bouncing at the lavish praise for the book from Lisa, the acquisitions editor!  This book was a stretch for me and I'm thrilled it turned out so well. 

Here's a sneak peak at the unofficial and unedited blurb:

When an emergency call goes out, FBI agent Ryan tags along with his sister on a Wind Warrior mission.  Along the way, he meets Tempest, a beautiful female pilot who stirs his desires and Rogue, a former Army buddy.  Seeing the man again brings out feelings Ryan doesn’t understand and isn’t prepared to accept. 
The rivalry returns as both men want Tempest, who happens to be Rogue’s employee. 
The mission comes back to haunt them all with danger hanging over the head of every Wind Warrior and their loved ones.   
Can Ryan work through his newfound interest in Rogue even as he’s falling for Tempest?  
Will they pull together in time to save each other from a hired assassin?

Another Tempting Tease from A Fate-Filled Christmas

Boldly, he freed one hand in order to cup her breast, flicking his thumb over the raspberry nipple as he nuzzled the side of her neck.  "I'm hungry.""I was getting ready to fix pancakes."  Her whispery voice brushed over his nerves, adding to his sexual wanting.  "No.  I'm hungry for something else."  He licked the side of her neck before placing tiny kisses to her shoulder and nape.  "You.  Naked.  Climbing on board for a hot and heavy ride."  She moaned low, he head lulling back to rest on his shoulder.  Taking the hint, he dropped his hand from her breast until he reached the junction between her legs.  Rubbing the area, he whispered naughty suggestions against her ear, knowing she heated under his touch.  A demanding doorbell interrupted their playful exchange.  "Well, hell."  He grumbled, stubbornly holding his position.  "We have to get that."  Brie stood straight, breaking the intimate contact for the moment.  "I'll get rid of them."  Stepping back, he appraised the heavy eyelids and spark in Brie's hazel eyes.  "We have unfinished business to attend to this morning.  Important business."  His tone dropped to a husky purr.  "Really important."

Christmas with Mesa is here!

Kendall's divorced parents are fighting over who she will visit for Christmas but what's a girl to do when neither destination appeals? Find a better one, of course!


Fed up with being the pawn in her parents' continual bickering match, Kendall decides to avoid all the fuss and take a well-deserved vacation over Christmas with her rescued German shepherd dog, Mesa. Finding a pet friendly resort, she heads off for some much needed rest and relaxation only to bump into an old college boyfriend.

Jason and Kendall parted ways four years earlier when he graduated a semester early and left for graduate school, eventually losing touch with one another. Long ago buried feelings re-emerge as they get to know one another once more. Can they re-kindle lost love and find a way to stay together or will history repeat itself?


Excerpt:
"You are coming to our Christmas celebration, aren't you?"

"I'm not sure, yet."

"I've already told everyone you'll be here." A momentary pause carried silence over the phone line before her mother hesitantly asked, "You aren't going to your father's, are you?"

Kendall sighed, shifting the phone from one ear to the other. "Like I said, I haven't decided yet."

"I can't believe you would rather spend the holiday with his twenty-something stuck up wife than with your own mother." The beguiling tone quickly turned sharp, laced with underlying fury.

Every time one of her parents called this week, they attempted to put her on the spot about her Christmas plans. Gathering from their comments, each one sought Kendall as a guest, not because they missed her and truly wanted to see her, but as a tool to jab at the other in an untiring game of one-upmanship played since the nasty divorce five years ago. Since she happened to be the only child they shared, the burden of trophy fell on her beaten down shoulders.

"I didn't say that. I have Mesa to consider," she defended, quickly losing interest in yet another ridiculous conversation with her mother.

"I don't know why you got a dog in the first place. You know your step-sister is highly allergic to them."

Yet another point in favor of my companion and best friend. The fact that she and her step-sister greatly disliked one another should clue her blinder-clad mother in to another reason she didn't want to drive three hours for an overnight stay with people she simply didn't care to be around. She and her step-sister clashed from day one and their relationship only plummeted with each subsequent encounter. Why should her vacation be filled with torture, tongue biting, and forced civility?

Mesa sat up, resting her long muzzle across Kendall's thigh. She reached down to pet the dog that seemed to pick up on her emotions easily, doing her part to show support and sympathy in true doggie fashion.

"Look, Mom. I've got to get back to work. I'll let you know as soon as I make a decision."

"It's just over a week away, dear. I need to know soon so we can figure out the sleeping arrangements."

"I will. Bye." She clicked the phone off before her mother could wiggle the knife of guilt in her gut again.
In all honesty, she loved her parents but liked them best from afar. Their difficult divorce occurred when she'd been in college, luckily sparing her a major turmoil as she'd lived on campus and rarely ventured back home. After witnessing nearly a decade of turbulence and troubles between her parents, the announcement of permanently breaking up had come as no surprise and, in all honesty, a bit of a relief. One could only handle so much arguing and bitterness in a building normally considered a haven for rest and relaxation.
Since then, both her parents had attempted to keep her on a rope, tugging her away from the now perceived adversary at any given opportunity. Seeing the manipulation for what it was, Kendall had opted to stay in the same college town after graduation, taking a paralegal position in a real estate legal office.

The gray-haired owner and head lawyer, Mr Townsend, reminded her of a kindly grandfather, calm and content, rarely flustered or upset. Generous to his employees, he offered up yearly Christmas bonuses and closed the office for two weeks around the holiday in order to allow everyone time with their families. To top off his saint status, Mr Townsend allowed Kendall to bring Mesa to work with her each day, hanging out in her small office at the back of the research library. Since no clients entered her domain and even the lawyers seldom ventured in, he declared it safe for her adopted pet to stay.

Kendall scratched behind Mesa's ears, smiling at the large brown eyes looking up at her with concern. "No worries, girl. I'm not abandoning you for some silly family gathering. No way."

Seemingly appeased, the nearly solid black German shepherd circled around her fluffy bed before finding the exact spot and lying back down. Resting her chin on her paws, her eyes drifted shut once more.

Sorting through papers, Kendall selected the top priority case and began entering information into her computer.

Her cell phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID she cringed but answered anyway. "Hello, Dad."

"How's my favorite girl?"

"Busy at work, actually."

"That's nice. Look, Loni needs to know when you'll be arriving for Christmas."

Kendall rolled her eyes. While her step-mother possessed a few positives, she also carried many negatives that left her appearing cold and selfish. "I'm not sure I'll be coming."

"So, you've decided to ignore our invitation and go to your mother's?" His voice turned harsh and snippy.

"No. I haven't decided anything yet. Besides, I have Mesa to consider." She tried to reason with him, knowing it might appease him in the short term, but nothing less than showing up at his house would work for the long haul.

"You know Loni doesn't like animals. I've already asked her and she's afraid your dog will bite someone or get hair on her new furniture. Can't you just board her like everyone else does?"

A surge of protective ire shot through her. "No, I can't board her."

"Why did you get a dog anyway? They're too much trouble."

Her last nerve shot and stomped on, Kendall figuratively threw up her hands. Fed up with all the drama, bickering, and downright deception, added to the callous disregard for her favored pet, she threw her frustration back at one of the people responsible. "That's it. No, I'm not going to visit for Christmas." A sudden inspiration hit.

"You're going to your mother's?" he tossed back with anger.

"Nope." She latched onto the answer to her problem with gusto. "I'm going on vacation. Just me and Mesa."

"What?"

"I'm going on a vacation with my dog. Somewhere peaceful and quiet to spend the holiday without people chewing on my butt to satisfy their own personal vendettas." She sucked in a breath. "Tell Loni I won't be attending. And don't worry. I'm calling Mom and telling her the same thing." With that said, she hung up.

Quickly punching in a familiar number, she hastily told her stunned mother the same thing. "Nope. I won't stop by. I'm going on vacation with my dog. Somewhere away from it all. No. I'm not changing my mind and I don't care what you told people. Goodbye, Mother."

For the first time in days a heavy weight lifted off her shoulders. What she dreaded only minutes ago now held the bright possibility of a retreat from her crazy life, the opportunity to finally do something for herself.
With a grin on her face, she shifted gears, typed pet friendly vacation resorts into the search engine, and hit enter.
