Wrongful Punishment

Blurb

The hardest thing Dwin ever had to do, was turn his beloved into a Genie, but rules were rules and he never broke Djinn law. No matter how much it broke his heart.

Jenelle knew betrayal intimately, and vowed to never forgive Dwin for his short sighted views. Too bad for her Dwin has other ideas.

To Buy
Wrongful Punishment

Excerpt

“Damnit woman! You can’t do things like that.”

Jenelle’s refusal to look at him, annoyed him and tread on his patience. The woman had been nothing but trouble since her punishment three years earlier. Watching how she reverently run her fingers over the marbled bust of the oldest and most powerful of Djinns angered him and set his body on fire with jealousy. The great Djinn didn’t deserve her reverence…he did!

“Says who? You turned me into a genie Dwin, not some leach’s personal sex toy. I grant wishes, not sexual favors and especially not against an innocent woman’s explicit wishes, that would be rape and I’ll have nothing to do with that. He got what he deserved and I’d do it again!” she replied heatedly, anger and disgust barely contained in her voice. Her power fluctuating, despite the fact that she was collared against practicing all magic’s until her Master ordered it.

Dwin wiped his hands over his face and took a deep breath. He needed her to understand, or he’d lose her forever. “Most Genies enjoy pleasing their masters. They thrive on it.” If he couldn’t get her to understand, they’d take her away.

Life is strange...

I was surfing the net and came accross a Canadian Writers Convention Called Bloody Words. It's for Mystery Suspence writers. Well heck I write those, so I looked into it further. Registration fee is actually quite reasonable, and seeing as I can't afford RT this year I decided I'm going to go.

So for any of you in the Ottawa, Ontario CANADA area...

I will be at Bloody Words IX from June 5th to June 7th.

I'll put up more information when the date gets closer and don't forget to pick up a copy of my book BARE BONES from Amazon.com

Come join me

Bare Bones

On the run from the Lycan who turned him during the full moon on All Hallows Eve, Christian Clarke isn't happy when he finds Joanna wandering through the woods searching for him. His inner wolf refuses to leave her side, yet his inner man wishes to keep her at arm's length for fear that he won't be able to control his inner demons.
Hearing her whispered profession of love, he reveals himself. Can he keep her safe from the pack that hunts him? Will Joanna love the beast he's become?

Blood Hunted

Nicolai had lost all hope of finding his mate. A hundred years alone left a vampire jaded. Until he agreed to take on a fiery little spy who saved his house, his Sire and his heart. Now he just needs to convince her that joining his side is the only way to survive the coming battle and remove the Demon from their midst once and for all.

Kelly Ravenson, had been through enough heartache and heartbreak since being turned to know that trust needed to be earned. The women of Raven house needed her. Could she really leave them unprotected just to follow her heart?

Excerpt : Unedited.

“Sharra told me the truth about your relationship with Daemor.” Kelly quickly backed away from the anger blazing in his eyes. “You lied to me.”

“For your own good and mine. You would have tried to take me away from here if you’d known the truth and then the wolf cub and my child would both be lost. Admit it, I can give you information about Raven House that no one else can.”

Nicolai smiled and crossed his arms. Leaning back against the wall he tilted his head to the side. “What makes you think I won’t take you away now that I know the truth?”

Kelly glared at him. “You mean try to take me away.”

“No, I mean take you away. I never fail when I set out to do something and I don’t intend to start now. So tell me my little vixen, are you going to make this difficult or easy for me?”

Anger and a little awe suffused her at his arrogance. How dare he dictate her actions to her, he didn’t own her. “Difficult!”

A slow seductive smile crept over Nicolai’s lips. “I was hoping you’d say that.”

Kelly backed away from him, terrified and yet eager to find out what he meant. In the past three years of dealing with Nicolai she knew that she would most likely enjoy whatever he had in mind. “What are you planning on doing with me?”

“That all depends on how difficult you make this for me. I promised Sharra that I would rescue you from this hell house, and I never break a promise.”

“What if I don’t want to leave?”

Nicolai shrugged. “I won’t force you to leave Kelly, but I will use EVERYTHING at my disposal to convince you otherwise… including seduction. Like I said, I never break a promise and I can be quite convincing when I need to be.”

Missing in Action....Again

2008-10-18T07:03:00.002-05:00

I know, I know I pulled another dissapearing act, but htis one wassn't voluntary.

I got home from work, and nearly broke my ankle...yes I said Nearly cause I had to get 2 sets of X-Rays to determine why I couldn't put any weight on the damn foot LOL.

Anyway for those of you ho don't know, I AM A KLUTZ. I triped over a pipe sticking up out of the ground that I knew was there. I've know of the pipe's existence for nearly 2 years LOL and still I tripped over it.

So it was bed rest and foot elevated which meant no computer I'm afraid. The drugs made me too loopy to sit up for long anyway, and then it was all rush rush vote (Yayyyy my candidate won wooohooo), rush rush shop (Needed to replenish the work supplies) and rush rush edit. (My editor was not happy with me LOL)

Back at work now, but you can entertain me by telling me of your own klutzy situations. **grin**

When things go good LOL

2008-10-03T11:24:00.002-05:00

When I was a kid I believed you made your own luck. LOL well that may be true, but not for a klutz like me.
Yes you read right, I am a Klutz. I am the only person I know who can throw her back out while sleeping, or trip on a pipe I've known for over a year is there.

So now here I am sitting at my computer with my foot up because I twisted my ankle so bad, I nearly tore some ligaments in my ankle. I'm now home bound for the 1st week of my off time LOL.

RRP To Go Print

2008-09-27T07:22:00.004-05:00

So you may have heard the rumor that Red Rose Publishing is going print. Well it's true. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ahem sorry. I'm back under control now. So do I have a print book coming out, you ask? Wellllll ...... Maybe hehehhee.

Doctor Amy Allens isn't looking for love; she's looking for a killer. As a Psychoanalyst she can see into the dark minds that prey on humanity - but Detective Ry Stevens is a complete mystery.

Will their growing attraction make them a stronger team or will the sexual sparks be a distraction that costs them their lives?

How about another funny

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I made another sale

2008-09-16T12:41:00.003-05:00

So I made another sale to Forbidden Publications.

The book is called I Know You Love Me, and it's a contemporary Romance.
I'm still tweeking the Blurb LOL but her's what I have so far.
Unedited Excerpt for your enjoyement.

Chapter One

“Good morning Gertrude, I’ll be in my office if anyone needs me. Can I get a cup of coffee please?” Drew knew he had a full day ahead of him and didn’t like the look Gertrude was giving him over his simple request for coffee one bit. It didn’t bode well for his schedule.

“Uhmmm Sherriff, there’s…”

Opening his office door, he was stopped cold by a pretty petite young brunette sitting behind his desk. The woman sat in his chair completely at ease, radiating an air of authority looking as if she belonged there. She was just hanging up the phone while flipping through a stack of paper, and was pushing every button he had when it came to attractive women…He disliked her immediately.

“Have a seat Sherriff, I’ll be with you in just a moment. I have a few more files to go through first.”

“GERTRUDE!” He really didn’t have time for this today.

“Oh please Sherriff, sit that cute little tush of yours down in that chair to your left and stop bellowing at the poor woman. I’ll introduce myself to you in a moment.”

The arrogance of her reply when she saw him, pushed his last button. Cute little tush? How dare she speak to me like that? Who does she think she is? He wasn’t about to let some woman talk to him like that in his own precinct, no matter how cute she was.

“Here you go Sherriff, black two sugars just the way you like it.”

Counting to ten, he turned to face his secretary. “Gertrude there’s a woman in my chair.” Gertrude flinched away from him, making him feel like a big bully.

“Ye…yes sir, she’s the auditor sent by the county. Try being nice to her…please?”

“Great, just what I needed today. You’ll have to move all my appointments to this afternoon, and…” Annoyance filled him when he realized Gertrude wasn’t listening to him anymore.

“Can I get you anything Miss McKay? Tea, coffee?

Drew wasn’t fooled, he could tell that Gertrude wanted out of the line of fire as quickly as possible.

“No thank you Gertrude, and please call me Allison.”

“Oh no, I couldn’t do that. Excuse me I need to get back to the phones.”

Taking a seat, Drew, steepled his fingers before his face and leaned back. He was trying to look intimidating and it usually worked, but this woman was too smart to fall for his ruse. “Well Allison…”

“That’s Miss McKay to you Sherriff, and now that you know who I am. I have a few questions for you.”

Drew sat back impressed, despite himself. He hadn’t phased her one bit. That took control and self confidence, this woman wouldn’t be easy to intimidate or control. “First I have one for you.”

Allison leaned back and smiled. “Very well, shoot.”

Drew decided it was time he regained the upper hand and have a little fun in the process. “How do you know what my butt looks like? This is the first time you’ve looked at me since I entered the room.” Allison kept her cool, didn’t even bat an eyelash in response to his taunt. That annoyed him even more than finding her in his chair.

“We met yesterday.”

Just got my new Cover for Deadly and had to share.

With the threat of Pan escalating past rape, can these two admit to their growing attraction before a murderer ends their chance for love?

Ares has finally escaped

2008-05-22T01:01:00.001-05:00

Nature's Whim

Ares had one goal, to become the most powerful of the old Gods. And now with Mother Nature missing, presumed dead, and the world in complete chaos, his wish was almost a reality. He never dreamed that the twenty first century could hold so much promise and power. Now was the time to act, he’d planned out ever contingency he could think of. Nothing could stop him. Nothing except her! How was he supposed to plan for something he neither saw coming nor ever expected to find. To make matters worse, he felt an attraction to her he couldn’t understand or resist, and he’d tried.

But Mother Nature was back. She’d been reincarnated into the body of a young woman with a quick wit and sharp tongue who didn’t have a clue. Now Ares had to make the most difficult decision of his immortal life. Does he help Desdemona Carpenter get both her powers and the elements under control or does he smite what could be true love and aim for the power he so desperately desires?

Tied for Cover of the Month
November 2007

To Buy Nature's Whim
Excerpt :

He walked to the opening of his tent and surveyed all that was his. Yes he missed the comforts of his home, but they held too many memories. Memories that even after months of planning and preparing still distracted him from his destiny. Yet he couldn’t deny that there was a pull, and urge to go after her that he fought with the iron will of a warrior.

Lightning flashed in a clear blue sky, and struck the only tree in the camp splitting it straight down the middle. The singed and burning wood reminded him that he had other more pressing things to worry about. For one he needed to find Gaia before she ruined all his carefully laid out plans. He needed to learn why she was working against him and where she received such power. It was time to return to Mount Olympus and speak with his family.

The earthquake hadn’t been the only disaster to hit the earth of late. Tornadoes, Tidal waves, Hurricanes and a record number of Volcanoes had become active all over the world. Always within his personal vicinity, and always killing his men just before they were ready to go to battle. He’d noted one other thing in his searches, the attacks always occurred while he was asleep and dreaming of her!

The dark circles under his eyes attested to the fact that he hadn’t been sleeping much of late. It was a good thing for him that a God needn’t much sleep. Those dreams always felt so real, so vibrant. Like Desi was there in the room with him.

Her lips would kiss him, her tongue teasingly run over his nipples, her teeth nipping him to distraction. Her hands would roam all over his ready and willing naked body beneath hers. She’d tease him to a fever pitch, her cries and moans of pleasure driving him insane with lust. Then when he’d be ready to scream in frustration she’d relinquish power to him to do with her as he pleased.

He always started the same way, he wasn’t sure why. But first he’d crush her to him and devour her mouth with a kiss of desperation, and only when he felt her desperation was as high as his, would he enter her. Thrusting deep inside of her, until he felt they’re bodies merge. Desi clinging to him with a desperation of her own whispering word of love and regret until they both climaxed together.

Ares shook himself out of the trance last night’s dream put him under. It was the first dream he’d allowed himself in weeks. They're lovemaking showed that. It had been quick and rough; like they’d both craved the others touch and couldn’t wait to come together. Once they caught their breaths, they’d come together again slowly this time, sensually.

He shook his head to dislodge the mental image; Desi was the last person he wanted to think about today. Today he needed to find Gaia! It was time to stop her from throwing her temper tantrums. He couldn’t rule the world as the supreme God if she destroyed it in her blind jealous rage.

Ares grabbed his cloak and left his tent. “Matius, I’m leaving you in charge of this group of recruits until I return. I want them ready; we put my plans into motion the moment I get back.

“Yes my God Ares.”

“No one is to enter my tent while I am away. If I sense a single presence in there I will kill the culprit with my bare hands. No matter the reason for their entrance.” To put weight behind his words with a wave of his hand Ares erected a barrier over the tent. He didn’t know how, but Desi came to him in that place and he didn’t want anyone desecrating the space in his absence.

Check it out... The cover for Some Gave All, the memorial day anthology with Aspen Mountain Press is finally out.

The name of my story in this antho is Memorial Meetings

Blurb:
When her grandfather garners her promise to deliver a letter addressed to his lost love, Genie readily agrees. Upon his death, she makes her way to Las Vegas and the veterans reunion to finally meet her namesake...her very own superhero.

Sadness fills her upon learning that Eugenie Shirley Devereaux also passed away mere weeks before the reunion and has sent her grandson to deliver a letter to her Wiliam. Sparks fly and emotions get heated when these too souls meet.

Is their meeting fated as her Grandfather promised would one day happen, or is their meeting an elaborate matchmaking plan conceived by two old lovers wishing the best for their most precious loved ones?

blurb: What could be more boring than covering the local produce festival? Reporter Scott Reneau’s world changes forever when local history mixes with Michelle Butler, the newsroom wallflower, to explode in an uprising of emotions in The Watermelon Riot.

Old letters drew Scott from his high paying journalism career in Portland Maine to the small southern town of Gallatin, Arkansas. Now working the news desk for a rural paper, he found himself demoted and again staring at a pile of old letters.

Michelle was a local girl from the top of her head to the soles of her feet, but she’d been burned by big city dreams and men. When she decided to take a chance on Scott and share her family’s passionate history, she hoped to catch the sexy reporter’s eye, but her grandparents had other plans in mind.

To buy: Psychotic

Excerpt :

Kazinsky inhaled deeply of the rich, heady aroma that surrounded her. He could smell her fear and it excited him. He looked back at the Tart tied up in his back seat and grinned in anticipation.

"We’re going to have some fun tonight my little Tart. You picked the perfect outfit to capture my attention this evening. You should be proud."

The little Tart had been prime for the picking. She’d been wearing a short leather mini skirt; a fiery red tank top with most of her assets hanging out than in and her shoes were strapless black stilettos. They had to have been uncomfortable to wear but he admitted they certainly made her look sexy.

He had one disappointment with his prize this evening. She wasn’t his usual type, her hair was too short and she was a blonde. He consoled himself with the knowledge that the next girl would be better, and there would be a next girl.

He laughed aloud at the thought of the Policemen’s incompetence. His victim whimpered in fright at the sound of his voice bringing a smile to his lips. He started whistling an eerie tune just for her and returned to his musing.

The poor police hadn’t come even close to finding out who he was, well until recently. They had someone new working on his case and she was getting close. He wasn’t sure how or why, but he knew a woman had taken over the search. Finally they’d brought in someone worthy of his time to play with.

"Don’t worry my dear were almost home, and then we can start having some real fun."

The frightened whimper he received in answer sounded sweeter than champagne to his ears. He would take his time with this one.

Blurb for Dark Elves I: Taken:

Diana is infuriated, humiliated… insanely aroused. Who do these black-skinned, white-haired, sex-oozing devils think they are making her into a broodmare and sex-slave? She won’t do it. Who cares if the damned elves were created as sex toys for a goddess? Or if each and every dark elf that visits her is a well-trained, exquisite lover. Or if Commander Salin makes her mind and body hum with desire and pleasure she’s never before experienced? She won’t submit. She won’t. Will she?

Salin’s men have all had their turn trying to tame the hellcat swordswoman. To a man, they’ve brought her to the heights of ecstasy but they’ve all had to rely on trickery or mystical attraction to bring her to heel. Even now, she refuses to submit and accept her new life. Never has a woman been so much trouble. Never has a woman so fired his blood. He will have her. He must.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be used, pleasured… Taken?

Blurb for Dark Elves II: Mastered:

Suzana has lost all she held dear–her family dead at sea, she, a musical mage of noble birth, has been taken by slavers. Alone, bereft, she can do nothing but mourn. But then the traders’ caravan is overtaken in the Dark Forest by the mysterious raedjour who are determined to take the one thing she still calls her own: her body.

Suzana’s capture is cause for celebration amongst the raedjour–virgins are highly prized, and a tournament is held for the honor of taking her maidenhead. And once it is taken, she will be passed to a different warrior every nine days until she finds her truemate.

From the moment he saw her, Krael knew Suzana was his to conquer. Her soft body incites the lust he’s honed over many cycles to pleasure and train women. He’ll have her body, yes, but he has no interest in being her truemate. Until another, Krael’s king, is determined to take her, then Krael grows determined to master her for his very own.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be used, pleasured… Mastered?

Here's a snipet of my Memorial Meetngs

Wrapping her courage around her like a shawl, she pushed herself off the bed and made her way to the dividing door before she could change her mind. Grasping the door handle she unlocked the bolt on her side, then pulled it open. What she saw on the other side stopped her in her tracks and made her mouth water in wanting a taste.

William had obviously just walked out of the shower. He was using a towel to dry his hair and was standing there tall and proud wearing nothing else. He was absolutely perfect. He had wide shoulders tapering down to a narrow waist and a perfect ass. Muscular legs and arms that left no doubt that he worked out on a regular basis. His body was perfect, she couldn’t tear her eyes away from him, and she’d tried.

A soft sound caught her attention, drawing her eyes up to his face. Her cheeks flamed red in embarrassment at getting caught ogling his thick hard shaft. She hoped to god she wasn’t drooling, cause her panties were already wet in desire and that was embarrassing enough. “I’m so, so sorry…I thought…I should have…Oh god kill me now.” She cried turning away to run back into her room and lock the door.

“Stop!”

Happy Tuesday

Luck of the Irish
Author: Aline de Chevigny
Artist: Nikita Gordyn ISBN: 978-1-60168-034-1
Genre: Paranomal erotic contemporary romance
Publisher: Aspen Mountain Press
Publication Date: May 2007
Sexual Content: Erotic

Price: $2.49

When Dina’s boss assigns her to review a local family restaurant called Luck of the Irish on St. Patrick’s Day of all days, she isn’t happy. Upon entering the establishment and seeing all the staff dressed as Leprechauns, she expects passable food and annoyingly cheerful service. What she got left her breathless.

Connor had always known what his destiny held in store for him. When the gods finally bestowed their gift upon him, he never expected his destiny to take place in a pair of sea blue eyes. Now, he finally understood why a four leaf clover is considered good luck.

To Buy Luck of the Irish
Excerpt 3

Amused, he was more than willing to play along and he had his cell phone if anyone needed him for an emergency. “Agreed, I’m curious to see what your bedroom looks like my love.” The evil glint that crossed through her eyes excited him. She was up to something that he knew he’d enjoy.

“Want to see it while we wait for Aunt Caitlin to finish getting ready?”

Looking around the room, he realized that her aunt still hadn’t made an appearance. “What about your aunt? What if she comes out and we’re not here?”

Taking his hand, she pulled him towards the back of the house. “I’m showing Connor where the master bathroom is Aunt Caitlin, we’ll be right back.”

When she opened the door to a very feminine room, he felt surprisingly at ease immediately upon entering it. Dina closed the door behind him, and turned the lock to insure their privacy, then kissed him. Her tongue delved deep into his mouth, exploring and teasing him until he thought his hard on would burst free of his pant. Just when he thought he couldn’t take anymore, she broke off the kiss and sauntered away from him heading straight for the large four poster bed in the center of the room.

Connor had never seen such a delectable sight and couldn’t wait to tie her arms to the bedpost so she couldn’t escape. Then she did the most unexpected thing. She turned her back to him, lifted her dress, slipped her thumbs into the strings on the side of her g-string and pulled them down. His erection throbbed against the zipper of his dress pants at the sight of his beloved, bent at the waist, with her perfect heart shaped ass up in the air.

It was an invitation he couldn’t pass up.

Reviews:

Coffee Time Romance (4 cups)

This is a nice little paranormal romance. Dina and Connor have been searching for each other forever and only live a few blocks away from each other. Their instant connection and subsequent journey to the Mist is very sensual and the love scenes are very well done. All seems to be almost too perfect at first, but the author throws a little bit of discord into the story with the bitter Cousin Pietro. Pietro is jealous of Connor and wants anything he has. Another subplot involves Pietro’s father, Devlin. He believes his true love rejected him and he has become bitter. I cannot give away the plot twist here, but it is a good one. The other family members are only briefly seen but well drawn, and the Goddess’ appearance really makes the story. Connor and Dina really have the “luck of the Irish”.

Read Whole review here: Coffee Time Romance Reviews

Two Lips Review (4 1/2 lips)

Is there anything sexier than an Irishman who knows when he has met the only woman for him? Not if you are reading Luck of The Irish by Aline de Chevigny. I fell in love with Connor and his family while reading this magical tale. Connor is romantic and sensual, something every woman will enjoy. The love scenes in Luck of The Irish will have you squirming in your chair and longing for more. This is a sweet story that will stay with you and make you want your own Irishman.

Dark Diva Review (3 Delightful Diva’s)

I loved the use of Irish language to get you in the mood, and really feel the roots of the mysterious gift that Connor and his family have had for years. Who knew that a simple four leaf clover could change Dina’s entire life? Lot’s of great description, I could see and sense everything that happened. A charming mystical tale of love and lust at first sight.

Here's a little from my lattest Del Fantasma

Bounty Hunter

Chapter 1

Looking around in desperation, Nita made a spur of the moment decision to cut down the last side street before reaching the beach. It was a last desperate effort to ditch her tail. This guy was good.
Despite the warm balmy night, she couldn’t seem to shake the shivers that wracked her body. The feeling that before the night was over, her life would be forever changed. Nita had no doubt that she knew who was following her, or at the very least who’d hired the man and he was damned if he thought she’d panic and give him the perfect opportunity to catch her.
Devlin had finally realized she was gone and decided he didn’t like being dumped. Hiring a PI was right up his alley, well he was in for a big surprise, because she wasn’t going back. Not in this lifetime.
She’d left Devlin’s mansion with exactly what she’d brought with her when she’s met him. Now with her one change of clothing and fierce determination to find her family she was desperate to get away. She wanted to find others like her, people who could explain some of the feelings that have been overwhelming her of late.
She’d heard rumors of a place, a bar down in California, somewhere near Point Loma where she might get her answers. Unfortunately, she’d yet to find the bar.

Yes that's right the woman who created some of my awsome covers.
Covers such as Bare Bones, Toss of a Coin, Nature's Whim(This cover tied for Cover of the Month in November), and Psychotic has her very own release out this week. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I'm sooo excited for her. This story rocks, and Kezred is soooo sexy and bad. LOL

Truth or Dare

Can a one-night stand be more than what it is?

Will the flames burn eternal or just melt into wax as the night goes on?

Being in debt to a vampire was not the smartest place to be, and when Kezred calls to collect, Cameo knows that her night spent as arm candy to the sexy vampire isn’t going to be a walk in the park.

Led into the midst of mankind’s greatest enemy, can Cameo trust her safety to a vampire with questionable intentions and no loyalties?

This is a must read.

Blurb: A grandmother’s last request, a mysterious old coin, and a heartfelt wish.

Armed with a mysterious package, Angelica travels to Scotland to fulfill the requirements of her grandmother’s will. The package contains an ancient coin and a letter telling her to make one wish.

Angelica’s wish for true love sends her back in time and into the arms of a man who could make all of her dreams come true – if she’ll let him.

Excerpt:
Duncan woke, the sun shining in his eyes. The fact that the sun touched his face meant his servants had disobeyed a standing order of not entering his bedchamber without consent. They knew better, he’d made it perfectly clear in the past to never disturb him until he called for them.

His mood lightened when he realized his Angel was wrapped around his body, cuddling as close as she could, while the blankets covering her were all but stripped away from her body. Lord, she looked beautiful laying there, the sunlight glinting off her copper colored tresses. He knew it had never before been done; but he was never letting this woman go. Once he learned of her past, he was going to find a way to make her his Duchess.

Moving away just an inch, he smiled when she cuddled closer; closing the gap he’d created between them. Her hand, which rested over his heart slid lower when she moved, causing him to harden instantly. The temptation to take her again washed over him, he needed to find out who she was and where she came from.

Soft caresses along her skin evoked a lusty, low moan in Angelica. A soft, cool breeze against her skin had her cuddling closer to the warmth she felt right beside her, eliciting a groan of desire in return. Her body stilled its movements as her eyes snapped open. “Who’s there?”

“Ah my Angel, glad to see you’re finally awake. I’ve been attempting to entice you to open your beautiful emerald eyes for an hour now. You’ve been quite stubborn and may I add I’ve enjoyed every moment of it.”

“You mean this isn’t a dream?” She asked, stunned.

“You are most definitely my dream come true, Angel.”

“I… I have to go.” She cried, pulling the blanket up to her breasts trying to cover herself as she slowly scooted away from him as far as she could on the bed. “What have I done?”

“Go? Go where? I forbid it. You promised me answers this morning, my Angel, and I intend to collect them.” The determined scowl on his face propelled her out of bed with the sheet wrapped tightly around her.

“Answers? What kind of answers? I don’t know anything. I don’t even know how I got here.” Angelica felt panic rising uncontrollably within her. A full-blown panic attack just waiting to be set free. Where were her clothes?

Without a mate, he is doomed to go mad. Searching for answers and understanding, he seeks out Callie O’Hara, a human woman with strong empathic gifts. Could this fragile human be his Resonance Mate?

Rick St. John is a tough-as-nails survivor of the Alvian occupation of Earth. He doesn’t believe in much, but when he sees Callie for the first time, he starts to believe in love at first sight.

The Governing Council is gunning for Davin, the upstart who dares to defy them. And they’ll kill anyone who gets in their way. Davin and Rick must come to terms with their feelings for Callie in order to keep her safe, while she has to find a way to save them both…with her love.

The Ravenson Project: Chronicles of the Cursed (Book 2)

Malek DeWinter, learnt the hard way that the Raven Lord he’d thought had aved him from death so many years ago, wasn’t what he appeared to be. After a night of passionate lovemaking with his new found mate, he wakes from his cursed sleep to find himself chained to the dungeon walls. With his mate at the mercy of his Lord, the house he'd thought had abandoned him comes to his rescue. Can he make things right before it’s too late? Or will he lose his true love to the hands of a traitor?

To Buy
The Ravenson Prject: Chronicles of the Cursed (Book 2)

Excerpt:

Malek growled, his senses coming alert all at once as the curse let him free from its grasp.

Her scent infused him; she smelled of desire and need. Her lips tasted of eagerness and something he hadn’t tasted in decades…
Innocence.

Could it really be? His eyes snapped open. Could Sharra still be an innocent? The thought excited his senses and deepened his desire.

He rolled over pinning her to the mattress. She’d been warned to stay away until he rose for the evening, yet the stubborn woman refused to obey the simplest of commands. If his Sire hadn’t given him leave to take a keeper of his very own, Sharra would be in serious danger for the stunt she’d just pulled. Raven House law stated that a woman had no rights of her own. Any woman found in the house after the sun set was fair game for any vampire male who found her. Obliged by rules older than time to obey their every wish and whim. An unbound female found in a male’s room was fair game for all.

He’d decided within moments of being granted permission to choose a keeper that Sharra would that person, in effect keeping her safe under his protection from the other men in the house. As his keeper she would finally belong to him but until then she was at risk if found in his bed.

A slow throaty chuckle escaped his throat he’d always wanted a human lover he could bite into orgasmic bliss and she had just granted his wish with one bold move. Seeing her surprised expression, he grinned evilly. “Good evening Sharra.”

“Malek, you’re awake!”

“You sound surprised pet! I must say this is definitely the nicest way I’ve been woken in ages. But you know this isn’t where you were told to meet me.”

A frown caressed her lips at his grin. He knew she hated being ordered about.
“I’m no one’s slave Malek and I missed you.”

“No you certainly aren’t that Sharranna. But you could be mine! I wouldn’t object in the least.”

“Why you vile, disgusting, despicable excuse for a man.”

“You have no idea my pet, none whatsoever, how vile I can be.” He released his hold on the desire he felt for her and kissed her again. He expected no resistance since she’d entered his chambers and his bed freely, and he didn’t receive any.

Five years of waiting and wanting were set free in her one act of defiance. His hands roamed eagerly down her side to her thigh, slipping under the dress she wore and climbing back up to rest on her hip. Her dress bunched above his left hand, his right holding her chin steady while he plundered her mouth kissing the breath out of her.

I thought I'd share the start of a new Merorial day story I'm writing with you. It's called Memorial Meeting.

Chapter 1

“My Dearest Wiliam,

I hope this letter finds you whole and hearty. My tour is finally over and I leave for home at the end of the week. They say the war is nearly over, and I pray what they say is the truth for that will mean you’ll be safe and able to go home yourself. Meeting you has been an experience I will never forget and cherish for the rest of my life.

Take care dearest Wiliam, come home safe.

All my love Eugenie
November 2nd, 1918”

***
Genie re-read the faded letter for the hundredth time. The letters were all the same, full of warmth, worry and concern but never graphic. You could tell the writer cared deeply for the recipient and yet this last one was the first time she signed the letter ‘All my Love’ and that caught Genie's attention like nothing else.

Ever since she was a child she’d been curious about the person she’d been named after and he grandfather willingly regaled her with tale after tale of the brave nurse who saved his life. Eugenie Shirley wasn’t a mere woman in Genie’s eyes, she was a superhero, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound and stop bullets at a glance. And now finally, this year she would get to meet this incredible woman who made it possible for her to be here today.

Running a soft thumb over the well read pages, she thought back to what she knew about the woman. She was a Canadian nurse, working in one of the field hospitals in France during WWI. Women on the front were almost unheard of, and that alone made her special. She’d won two Royal Red Cross 2nd class medals during her tour for bravery and all the men lucky enough to be sent there for medical aid loved her.

Born in 1897, Eugenie enlisted at the tender age of twenty one. She was tall with bright red hair that when left loose hung down to her waist, but while working she always kept it up in a bun. Her grandfather used to say that when she was happy her eyes sparkled like green emeralds, but when she was mad a forest fire blazed from her eyes. His descriptions of her were always so vivid that Genie felt she already knew this woman. That was why she became a doctor, she wanted to be a superhero too.

So what do you like to do on a snowy sunday morning?

If I were home I'd so be sleeping but since I'm at work I get to do paper work Ooooooooooo.
I know what your all thinking, how did I get so lucky and how can you get some paperwork to do?
Well it's simple, avoid...avoid the pile of papers that need to be filed all week long and then you have your very own stack of paperwork.

Have a fabulous Sunday.

Excerpt Unedited:

Dekland paced the confines of his suite at the Four Seasons hotel angrily. It had taken his men over a week to find that little tart Yvette, only to learn that she’d run straight to that false King Cain. Things were about to come to a head. It was a little sooner than he expected for this face off but he could work with that.
First, he had to get the woman away from that weak willed pup who was standing in the way of taking over this city. A quick challenge to the death and he’d have everything that rightly belonged to him without the need to worry about watching his back. “Eric, get me an update on where my little tart is now. I want to know the minute the false King let’s her out of his sight.”
“Yes my lord.”
Turning back to the spectacular view afforded him from the penthouse suite he’d claimed as his own, Dekland closed his eyes. He needed to blow off some excess energy. “Claira, bring me the woman I requested this morning. I’m in the mood for a little fun while I wait.”
“Yes Lord Summersand.”
Taking a seat on the leather couch, he steepled his fingers before his face and watched the terrified woman stumble into the room. She was a pretty little thing, all blond and curvaceous, with crystal clear blue eyes that acted as windows for her terror. He’d desired her from the moment he’d seen her walking through the hotel lobby that morning. A few pointed questions to the hotel manager, informed them that she was a guest in the hotel and his men did all the rest. Because they all knew that anything he wanted, he got or people got hurt. “Welcome my beauty.”
“Where am I? Why am I here?”
Flashing her, his best smile, Dekland leaned back against the couch arrogantly. “You my beauty are here because I requested it.”
“Well, I’d like to thank you for the flattering compliment but I really need to go now.”
“You my little Goldie Locks aren’t going anywhere, not, that is until you satisfy my every desire. Now strip, I wish to see the entire package without the wrapping.”

Happy Tuesday

Saturday Sillies: Edition # 5

2008-02-09T07:33:00.000-05:00

CINDERELLA wants to go to the ball, but her wicked stepmother won't let her.
As Cinderella sits crying in the garden, her fairy godmother appears, and promised to provide Cinderella with everything she needs to go to the ball, but only on two conditions. "First, you must wear a diaphragm."
Cinderella agrees. "What's the second condition?"
"You must be home by 2:00 a.m. Any later, and your diaphragm will turn into a pumpkin."
Cinderella agrees to be home by 2:00 a.m. The appointed hour comes and goes, and Cinderella doesn't show up. Finally, at 5:00 a.m. Cinderella shows up, looking love struck and very satisfied.
"Where have you been?" demands the Fairy Godmother. "Your diaphragm was supposed to turn into a pumpkin three hours ago!!!"
"I met a prince, Fairy Godmother. He took care of everything."
The Fairy Godmother stated, "I know of no prince with that kind of power! Tell me his name!"
Cinderella replied, I can't remember, exactly, Peter, Peter, something or other..."
