Eternal Brothers now in PRINT!
I'm thrilled to announce that ETERNAL BROTHERS is now in print from Ellora's Cave. Check out the new cover!
BLURB:
The Dalakis brothers are rich, powerful men, but they have secrets — the kind that men kill to protect. Ex-cop Zane York has watched them for several years and has returned to New Orleans to resume his investigation. He has to know if his suspicions are true — are the Dalakis brothers murderous vampires?
Reporter Sophia Daring has had many tough assignments in her life, but nothing has prepared her for the late-night phone call, which leads her to the cemetery and to the body of a dead woman. The murderer drained all the blood from his victim's body and the clues point straight to the Dalakis family.
The attraction between Zane and Sophia is instantaneous and explosive. But Zane has secrets of his own and questions that need answering. Are the Dalakis family the villains or are they being framed for murder? As Zane and Sophia investigate the grisly string of deaths, they discover that the murderer may not be the family's only enemy…and a secret from the past may bring the deadliest threat yet.

Tuesday Teaser!
Here's Tuesday's Teaser--a day late. This is a teaser from Threads of Destiny, one of the four print books up for prizes in my Slip Into Spring contest. Check the "Contests" page on my WEBSITE for details.
TEASER:
Tienan was the same height as Logan but that's where the similarity ended. Where Logan's hair was blond and short, Tienan's fell to his shoulders in a straight black curtain. His body was leaner but no less muscular. He reminded her of a jaguar she'd seen in an old film—all coiled muscles, just waiting to attack. Both men were handsome. Tienan was good-looking in a classic sense, while Logan possessed more of a craggy, rough look that was impossible to ignore.
They were also her friends and, as of yesterday, her responsibility.
"What's the word on the jail break?" Logan sat forward, his hands loosely clasped between his legs.
Kathryn strode across the room, trying to appear confident as she dumped her sweater and purse on a chair. Her stomach burned from all the stress of the day and she rubbed her hand across it, trying to settle it. She knew she had the beginnings of an ulcer. The doctor had warned her at her last appointment that she needed to take better care of herself. Easier said than done.
Tienan's green eyes narrowed and he stalked to the mini-fridge that was tucked into a cabinet in the corner. Opening the door, he pulled out a small container of milk. He unscrewed the top as he strode to her side. "Drink."
Grateful for the slight reprieve, she took the plastic bottle, brought it to her lips and drank. The cool liquid coated her throat and hit her stomach like a cooling balm. Sighing with relief, she licked her lips. "Thanks."
One corner of Tienan's mouth turned up in a slight smile as he reached out and used his thumb to wipe away a bead of milk from the corner of her mouth. Bringing it to his lips, he licked it away. "My pleasure."

Legacy Found is Now in PRINT!
I'm thrilled to announce that Legacy Found releases today in PRINT from Samhain Publishing.BLURB:
Shelley is a killer. Never mind that her "crime" freed her from thirty-five years of brutal captivity—the bounty hunters on her trail don't care. For the first time in her life, she is on her own, free to put the past behind her and explore what it means to be a werewolf.
James Riley is dead tired. After a week untangling legal and financial affairs his brother's death left behind, he's feeling every ounce of his new responsibility as Wolf Creek pack alpha. He's not too tired, though, to notice his sexy waitress is a werewolf—one that strangely doesn't recognize him as one of her own kind.
After his questions rattle her composure and get her fired, Shelley figures the least James can do is drive her to the next town, but he wants more. He wants to take her home. And despite her fear, something inside her is irresistibly drawn to his commanding yet gentle presence.
James is willing to give Shelley all the time she needs to embrace her heritage, her sexuality, and eventually his love. But her past will not be denied...and her secrets demand a price paid in blood.
