Masked Innocence Pub Date
You can’t see me, but I am on my kitchen floor, on my knees, and not in a sexy-time position. I’m in full-on begging mode. PLEASE, don’t send me hate mail. PLEASE, don’t egg my house or unfan me on Goodreads. PLEASE understand that there are things that are not in my control.
I have received information from Masked Innocence’s publisher and wanted to update you on what is going on with the book. A few months ago, I sent an email, similar to this, that stated that Masked would be released this summer. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.
I sincerely apologize for that miscommunication; I was passing on information that I had received and thought/hoped to be true. have been informed that Masked Innocence’s ebook release is now going to coincide with its print release, which pushes it back significantly. The final, confirmed release date is February 25, 2014.
I realize that, for many of you, this news will cause frustration towards me. I, as a reader, can completely understand and empathize with your anger. Trust me when I say that I, as the author of Masked Innocence, was and am very upset by this news. I live and breathe Brad and Julia and it kills me that the release has been delayed for this long.
The good news: Yes, there is some good news! There is a book 3!! I have not mentioned it yet I wanted it to be certain, so I wouldn’t be feeding misinformation to my readers again. The full release schedule is as follows:
Blindfolded Innocence ebook and print release: January 25, 2014
Masked Innocence ebook and print release: February 25, 2014
The End of the Innocence* ebook and print release: March 25, 2014
*name may change, don’t write that in stone*
As a reader, I often try and avoid series unless all of the books are out, or are soon to be out. I hope you will be pleased with this schedule and the close release dates, which should make for a smooth reading experience. I know that it doesn’t make up for my failure to deliver Masked Innocence as expected, - again, please know that that was not in my control, my hands have been tied since November 2012 in that regard.
More good news: I am trying as hard as I can to release a Blindfolded Innocence ebook novella – something that involves those characters to tide you over until the release date. My goal is September for that publication.
I am also releasing a 4-part erotic romance mini-series; that should pub late summer as well.
Thank you all for your love and support. I don’t deserve how wonderful and patient you all have been. You guys are wonderful.
Sincerely,
AlessandraMasked Innocence

I am so excited to finally be able to share a project... a book. A book I have been secretly working on since back in September of last year. I had to first set it aside to write Tight, since you loyal readers had been waiting so long for that. Then I had to set it aside again to write If You Dare (the third book in the Deanna Madden series, coming November 10th!). And now, finally, I am able to dive back into this book and finish it.
This book reminds me a lot of Blindfolded Innocence. It doesn't have the same sexual direction that Blindfolded had, but it feels very similar in its unfolding and energy. It has got an incredible cast of characters, and their chemistry and interactions are so entertaining and so *fanning myself* HOT. And... about 20% in, you will discover a piece of this book that you will absolutely LOVE, I promise you. You are going to set your Kindle aside and do a little happy dance at the secret little treat I have in store for you.
So... let me stop teasing you and get to the good stuff.
THE NAME. It is called Hollywood Dirt. You'll understand that name more later.
THE COVER. This is coming soon. I'm working with my cover designer on it right now, and hope to have it to you guys in a month or so. We are playing around with some really fun concepts and I can't wait to see what the end result is!
RELEASE DATE. Monday, September 7th, 2015.
THE DESCRIPTION. Here you go my lovelies... and enjoy. :)
Cole Masten. Married to Nadia Smith. One half of Hollywood’s golden couple. The press adored them, fans worshiped them, the box office was owned by them. Together, they could do no wrong.
Cole Masten. Abandoned by Nadia Smith. Hollywood’s Perfect Husband is now Hollywood’s Sexiest Bachelor: partying hard and screwing even harder. Move over Colin Farrell, there’s a new bad boy ruling Los Angeles.
I’m Summer Jenkins, a small town girl stuck in Quincy, Georgia. I cook some mean chicken and dumplins, can bluff a grown man out of his savings in poker, and was voted Most Friendly my senior year. Other than that… I don’t have too much going on.
We were from different worlds. Our lives shouldn’t have collided. But when Cole Masten’s jet landed in our country airport, we all sat up in our rocking chairs and watched. And when an opportunity crossed my path, I jumped at the chance.
But I didn’t expect what ended up happening. I didn’t expect Cole Masten to be an ass, or to pursue me, or for everything to get tangled up around set riggings, camera cords, bra straps and heartstrings.
I didn’t expect for my sleepy town to come under a national microscope. I don’t think any of us did.
MORE DETAILS. This book is a standalone. I expect it to be roughly 300 pages long and it will be a contemporary romance. Which means that it will have hot sex but that the plot won't be dominated by sex. It feels, so far, VERY similar in tone, feel and pacing as Blindfolded Innocence. This is not one of my giant AHA! moment books, there is no giant twist, no deceptive underlying story. But, trust me when I say that you will love it. I have full expectations that this will be my best book yet.
PRICING AND PREORDERS. My pricing structure will be designed to reward loyal readers. This book will be up for preorder at $2.99. It will release at $3.99. And, 10 days after release, it will increase to $4.99.
It will be up on all e-retailers for preorder within a week EXCEPT for Amazon. Amazon's preorder will go live on September 3rd at the $2.99 discounted price point. To be notified on release, click here.

Happy Fall!
WOW - this has been an exciting month! Fall is in the air, and I'm spending my weekends watching college football and reading - and the rest of the time busy on the computer. As I type this newsletter, I'm only four days away from my next release - and still reeling from the events of this week! Let me go ahead and dive into the bulk of my updates.
THE GHOSTWRITER. The cover released this month and advance reviews are pouring in! I've never had such a strong reaction from a book. There's a reason it took me an entire year to write The Ghostwriter, a reason I was emotionally drained when I finished it. This book is everything to me, and I can't wait to see your reaction to it. It releases this Monday!
Advance Reviews:
“Breathtaking. The emotions are raw, real, explosive...an absolute must-read.” NYT Bestseller Kim Karr
“A gripping story so profound that I’ll still be thinking about it months from now. The Ghostwriter is hands down one of the best books of 2017.” NYT Bestseller Corinne Michaels
"I could not put this book down, even to pick up my jaw. This book is an insane roller coaster ride through one betrayal and twist after another." NYT Bestseller CD Reiss
