Deceived (The Wicked Woodleys 2) is here!

I’m so excited for another release day! Today you’ll be able to pick up Deceived, the second book in my series The Wicked Woodleys! It is $2.99 until the end of today and then will go up to its regular price. This book means so much to me as I think the heroine, Josie, has some character traits that I share, so she’s very close to my heart.

Here is a quick description:

Josie Westfall spent a lifetime feeling alone and bullied and an unfortunate incident involving her best friend's brother, Evan, only made things worse. Still, when she and her mother are invited to the wedding he will be attending, they can't exactly refuse. She hopes to avoid him, but instead they are thrown together and she is shocked to find that she actually begins to like the man she's thought of as an enemy for years.

Evan has always felt terrible about what he said to Josie years before, but he's never quite been able to make it up to her. When he tries, he discovers Josie may have a few secrets and some information about his missing sister. Now he must decide, should he betray her by trading on the unexpected attraction between them and discover what she knows? Or could the possibility of love be worth more than anything else?

The book is available at all eBook retailers:

A request

Hi readers!

This is a request from me! I am no longer supporting my HarperCollins published titles either under this name or my Jenna Petersen name. I feel they are charging way too much for the books and they refuse to return rights on any of my titles.

So if you're looking for a book by me, I hope you'll consider my Samhain published and self-published selections and avoid:

Everything Forbidden
Something Reckless
Taboo
Nothing Denied
Parlor Games
A Red Hot Valentine's Day

And any Jenna Petersen book published before 2012.

Obviously if you really want one of those books, you are NOT NOT hurting me by buying them! It's just a request, in the hopes to see fairness some day in the future for both my awesome readers and for myself.

Thank you all for being such great supporters of the genre and of me! It means a great deal to me!

A Christmas Kiss is FREE!

Today is a release day! Last year I was involved in a short story collection called WANTON CHRISTMAS WISHES with some of my good historical romance friends. That collection is no longer available but today I’m re-releasing my story from that collection, “A Christmas Kiss” AND it’s FREE! This story is not related to any series and is a stand-alone title. If you’ve never read me and have been wanting to, this is a great place to start!

Here is a quick description:

Tricked into spending time alone with the husband who made it clear he doesn't care about her, the Countess of Blackgrove, Amelia, has no idea how to react. But Stephen only wants seduction... and love.

The Other Duke is ON SALE!

I’m very pleased to announce that THE OTHER DUKE is temporarily on sale for just 99 cents! This bestseller is the first in my The Notorious Flynns series, and is an erotic historical romance set in the Regency period!

Here is a quick description:

For years Serafina McPhee has been engaged to marry the heir to the Duke of Hartholm and for almost as long, she has been struggling to find a way out of that engagement. When he suddenly dies, she does not mourn but thrills at the idea that she will be free. Unfortunately, best laid plans go awry when the next in line for the title, her intended’s cousin, Raphael “Rafe” Flynn is forced to take over the engagement. But Serafina knows Rafe’s reputation as a libertine and wants nothing to do with him, either, even if he is devastatingly handsome.

She proposes an arrangement: she will agree to the marriage and provide Rafe with his heir and spare. Once she has done her duty, he will let her go. Rafe is intrigued both by her beauty and by her utter disgust with the idea of being his bride. Women normally fall at his feet, not cringe away from him. However, since their arranged marriage is not something he can escape, he agrees to her terms.

But when he finds out on their wedding night the truth about her torture at the hands of his predecessor, he finds himself driven not just to fulfill his bargain with his new bride, but to introduce her to desire. While they move closer together, surrendering to wicked pleasures, dangerous emotions may violate every agreement they’ve made.
