Thirty Nights…in just a few more days
Just under two weeks, I think…did you read the serial? I always said if I ever did a billionaire romance, I’d make her the billionaire and he’d be the one down on his luck. So that’s what I did.
Also, he’s a male prostitute.
Thirty Nights With A Dirty Boy
Part I
Money Can’t Buy Love…
Ella Cruise doesn’t like to be touched. A survivor of childhood abuse, she craves security in all aspects of her life: fulfilling work at the nonprofit she runs, more than enough money to live comfortably, and a good friend and confidant. But none of it can ease her longing for intimacy, even if just for a night. When she meets a gorgeous bartender who moonlights as a male prostitute, a bold idea begins to take shape…
But It Can Buy a Night of Passion–or Thirty…
Sean Lachlan is stunned by the cool beauty’s offer: 30 nights of no-strings sex in exchange for all the money he’d need to start over. The deal seems too good to be true, especially since his desire for her is no act, but Sean finds he can’t turn her down. Before they know it, Sean and Ella realize they’re in deep, their defenses crumbling. Will thirty nights with a dirty boy be enough after all, or will love lead Ella and Sean back to the negotiating table?

Rumored to be a picture of me actually floating around on the internet. Along with an interview.
It’s over at Insider Louisville, a local publication.

R.I.P David Bowie
I don’t think there’s another music artist out there who has had an influence on writers–and other artists in general, really–quite like David Bowie.
Rest in peace.

When you get offered a contract…
Sometimes I get asked what’s the first thing a writer should do when they get offered a contract.
Besides dance. I mean, c’mon…you got offered a contract. That’s cool, right?
Of course it is.
But after you get done dancing, if you don’t have an agent and have no desire to get one, find an attorney who specializes in contracts, preferably publishing contracts. They exist. Contracts are getting more and more convuluted and they were never simple to begin with.
Typically, you can get a contract reviewed for about $250 and while that sounds painful, you’d rather spend that $250 than spend years wishing you hadn’t gotten it reviewed.
Once you get it reviewed, talk to the pubs about whatever suggested changes the lawyer suggested and there should be be some things. The contract is a business agreement between you and the pub and while most of them are fair enough, the contract is going to be written to benefit the publisher more than you. The lawyer (or your agent) is there to make sure you get it to where it benefits you as much as possible.
And you might end up having the lawyer tell you to run like hell. If you do…run like hell. There are other publishers. There is self-publishing. Don’t get screwed over in your determination to get published. The internet is full of stories of authors who wished they’d paid better attention to those contracts.
One place to consider checking out for possibly sketchy publishers… Writer Beware.

REPOST: #notchilled Regarding certain titles
#Repost. No new information, just an FYI, ICYMI:
I wish it hadn’t come to this, but the bottom line is, it has.
I received a check in August. It was February sales of my Ellora’s Cave titles. I’m not going to discuss contract terms, but lets say I’m months past when I should have received payment on sales in months following February and I’ve yet to receive another check.
I’ve reached out to the publisher, hoping for an amicable resolution and it hasn’t happened.
At this time, I’d like to request that my readers stop buying the titles below fromany and all retailers. If I’m not going to get paid, and in a timely manner, I’d rather the books not be bought at all.
Her Best Friends Lover
Silk Scarves and Seduction
Never as it seems
Guilty Needs
One of the Guys
Lacey’s Game
Belonging
Sexy Little Surprises
I would appreciate your support and understanding in this. I worked hard and on each and every title I’ve written and it’s demoralizing to not be compensated for that hard work.
I will not be responding to questions or answering emails on this. I’ve said pretty much everything I need to say and comments are closed.

Coming in August…
Desire won’t take no for an answer.
In the small southern town of McKay’s Treasure, everybody knows that the handsome local police chief, Gideon Marshall, has been carrying a torch for Moira McKay. It’s also no secret that Moira has been rejecting Gideon since…forever. But after an attack from a mysterious stranger bent on taking down the McKay family, Moira becomes filled with distrust toward most men. Now she wonders whether she’s been wrong about Gideon all along—and if it’s not too late to admit him back into her life…and into her bed…
Gideon has finally convinced his wasted heart to give up on Moira, the woman he’s loved since he was sixteen years old. But when Moira is attacked,Gideon vows to protect her. But how much is he willing to risk for a woman who’s always kept him at bay—until now? And is it too late for Moira to tell him that her love for him has always been locked deep in her heart…and he holds the key?

Headed For Trouble…now out
Available now!
“That’s it,” he growled against her mouth. “Ride me . . . that’s it . . . ”
She whimpered, the sound broken now, almost stunned.
He eased her down, slowly, because when he took her back up the next time, she was going to be wrapped around his dick.
Slowly, he withdrew his hand.
Feeling her eyes on him, he lifted his hand to his lips and licked his fingers.
She blushed, staring at his hand as if mesmerized.
“Ah . . . ” She blinked and looked around.
He cut off the question with a hard kiss. “Tell me you have a condom with you.”
Shit.
Neve blinked up at him. “Um . . . no?”
He squinted at her, as if the word made no sense.
Then he backed it up.
“What d’ you mean . . . no?” he asked, dumbfounded.
“Just that. No.” Her fingers hurt. The reason why became apparent. She was practically trying to imprint them on the ridged track that made up the sexy Scot’s torso. Uncurling them, she looked around. Embarrassment would probably settle in later. But for now, all she wanted was a damn condom.
Blushing furiously, she stared at him. “I don’t typically pick guys up in bars. I never really have a need to carry condoms around so I don’t have them.”
She didn’t carry a purse anymore. She had her cash and credit cards with her, along with her cell phone. There was pepper spray on a quick release hook on her back, and her passport was tucked in a concealed flap inside her backpack.
There were definitely no condoms.
As he continued to gape at her, she had to try not to sulk. “What about you? You’re the damn guy. Don’t you have anything?”
He opened his mouth, then shut it.
“I don’t carry them because I don’t often have a need of them,” he said, looking put out. “But why does logic have to play into this?”
It took a moment for his words to make sense. She was so busy staring at his mouth and remembering how his beard had felt as he kissed her that she didn’t care what he was saying.
“If you keep staring at me like that, I’m going to go mad.”
She didn’t even have time to breathe before his mouth crushed hers and she was trapped between him and the gate, his hard, heavy body driving into hers, the rhythm unmistakable. His tongue sought out hers, echoing the rhythm of his hips, and she reached out, closing her hands around the hard, round curve of his ass.
Thirty seconds later, he had her wrists in his hands.
No—
“Enough,” he muttered, letting go without noticing anything was wrong. He sucked in a harsh gulp of air. “We’re leaving. I’ll go across the bloody square, buy a box of condoms. My flat is just up those stairs—we can be back here in five minutes.”
His gaze came to hers and Neve’s knees went weak as he added, “I’ll be inside you within six.”
