Celebrating 50 Books--Day 19

Good morning and welcome to Day 19! Today I'm featuring "Sunshine for a Vampire" my story in the Ellora's Cavemen: Seasons of Seduction III anthology.

Ever wonder what the Cinderella story would be like if it was told by vampires? Sunshine for a Vampire started out with the premise of a misfit vampire, one who wasn't like the others. And she has to go to a very special party...




BLURB: Sunshine for a Vampire

Sunshine DeMarco is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed vampire who just doesn't fit in with her own people. She doesn't really like the whole vampire lifestyle — the opulent surroundings and overindulgence in everything from food to drink to blood. But even she has family and social obligations.

While attending a party for a special European dignitary, she finds herself captivated by a tall, dark stranger. One sensual dance between them leads to a passionate tryst in the host's garden.

Reality intrudes and Sunshine flees, but she hasn't seen the last of her mystery lover.

Celebrating 50 Books--Day 17

Good morning and welcome to Tuesday and Day 17! For the next few days I'll be featuring my short stories. A Love Eternal is featured in the Ellora's Cavemen: Legendary Tails IV anthology. This is one of my favorite stories I've ever written. I cried buckets when I was writing and editing this one.


BLURB:

A Love Eternal By N.J. Walters

Sitting alone on a bridge late one night, Genevieve Alexander laments her safe, boring life. But when she attracts the attention of a dangerous, mysterious stranger known only as Seth, her entire world changes.

Accompanying him on his nocturnal journey through the dark streets and into the throbbing nightlife of the city, he introduces her to a world of sensual desires unlike anything she's ever experienced. But Seth has a terrifying secret. Will she be able to throw off the shackles of her past and accept the risks that come with being with this sexy, compelling man?

Embroidered Fantasies is a story of love and redemption. Some of you may recognized Rdnor Craddock and his brother from an earlier book and you might not even like him. That's all about to change...


BLURB:

Roxanne Sykes is a divorced waitress, trying to carve a life for herself after escaping an abusive marriage. Her quiet life is shattered when her ex-husband finds her. Before he can harm her, a magical tapestry whisks her away. She finds herself in a strange land, in the presence of a man straight from her erotic dreams.

The erotic encounters are like nothing Roxanne has ever experienced. Yet she cannot trust her judgment. After all, she married a man who abused her. Then there are the dark hints and innuendoes of the Craddocks' violent pasts. But when her ex-husband threatens her, Radnor and Sednar risk their lives to save her. Will she leave them? Or stay and claim these wounded warriors as her own?

Celebrating 50 Books--Day 14

I'm two weeks into celebrating my 50 books and still going strong. *g* Welcome to Woven Dreams, a Tapestries book that is a bit different from the first two. In this book, the two younger Bakra brothers get a chance to find love, but not before they have to face a familiar enemy from the past.



BLURB:

In Javara, women are scarce and brothers must share a woman, although only one can claim her as a wife. Scarred and maimed from a battle fought almost a year ago, Jarmon Bakra is afraid chances are slim that he and his twin brother, Garrik, will find a bride.

While on a hunting trip, the brothers stumble upon a woman claiming to be a tapestry bride. Now that fate has dropped a beautiful, courageous woman in their path, they will both use all their sexual skills separately and together to convince her to stay.

But Genny has secrets of her own and they have only three days to uncover the truth.

Celebrating 50 Books--Day 13

It's Friday the 13th and Day 13 of my Celebrating 50 Books! Today I want to tell you about Bakra Bride, the second book in the Tapestries series.


BLURB:

Jane Smith has the perfect corporate job, a beautiful apartment and an understanding boyfriend. She works long hours, but enjoys her life. It all begins to unravel the moment she witnesses a murder. Now her former life has vanished and she is left to rebuild again.

Just when things seem to be taking a turn for the better, the thrift store tapestry that she'd impulsively purchased magically transports her to Javara, a world that resembles medieval Earth, and into the arms of the Bakra brothers.

Zaren Bakra is shocked to discover that the tapestry has delivered Jane to Bakra land—as the tapestry prophecy has already been fulfilled for this generation. Their world is strange to Jane, and her very presence ignites violence and death.

Now the two brothers will use all their sexual skills, separately and together, to convince Jane to stay in Javara and choose one of them for her husband. But the tapestry will reappear in just three days. Will Jane return to her own time and all that is familiar or will she become the Bakra bride?

Blogger has been having some difficulties and it looks as though yesterday's post has vanished into cyberspace. So here it is again...

Day 12 is all about my very first time-travel/menage a trois book--Christina's Tapestry. The Tapestries series is my most popular one with readers, although the Legacy series is quickly gaining on it. Enjoy...



BLURB:

Christina Beaumont impulsively buys an expensive tapestry that she sees in a shop window, having no idea how that one action will change her life. The magical tapestry not only transports her to Javara, a world that resembles medieval Earth, but also into the arms of two massive warriors who both want to claim her.

Jarek and Marc, Brothers of the House of Garen, are elated to discover the tapestry has delivered Christina to them. Women are scarce in their world, so the men of a family must compete for the right to be her husband. But before she can choose, Christina first has to experience the lovemaking of both brothers, separately and together. Jarek and Marc use all their considerable sexual skills to pleasure her in ways she's never imagined.

But the tapestry also offers another choice. Christina could return to her own world. Jarek and Marc join forces to convince Christina to stay with them even as they fight a rival family for the right to keep her as their very own.

Celebrating 50 Books--Day 11

Welcome to Day 11! Today I'm bringing you the final book in the Dalakis Passion vampire series--Endless Chase. This book has one kickass heroine, who I absolutely love. Usually it's the hero who has the dark past, but in this book, it's Katya.


BLURB:

Vengeance is at hand for Katya Markova and nothing will make her stray from her chosen path—nothing, that is, but Chase Deveraux. She's spent the past year of her life searching for the person responsible for the bloody murders of her parents. Her quest has taken her around the world and into the dark realm of blood cults and killers, finally bringing her to Transylvania and the Dalakis family.

From the moment Katya first sets eyes on Chase, the emotional and sexual connection between them explodes. She wants him to the point of madness, risking everything she's worked for to spend stolen moments locked in his heated embrace.

But Katya is enmeshed in a world of lies and deceptions, which now includes Chase and his family. Love, vengeance and honor are tested, and sides must be taken as the entire Dalakis family is now in jeopardy.
