Hi, everyone! I’m just about to begin my AUTHORS AFTER DARK trip (and can’t wait to meet those of you attending the conference), but I wanted to make a quick announcement–I’ve got a new release!  BLEED FOR ME (ebook only)  is available now.

The Greek gods are alive and well.  But, unfortunately for the gods, the humans have all but forgotten their glorious existence…and this fact really pisses off the all-powerful, immortal beings.

Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, takes one look at the mysterious Terese Lafitte and knows that he wants her. Even in this modern century, a god takes what he wants. But Terese isn’t a mortal, not any longer. As a newly turned vampire, her attraction to Apollo is downright lethal because desire arouses not just her body, but also her bloodlust.

But Apollo likes a woman with bite, and now that he’s found Terese, he’s not about to let the little vampiress out of his sight or out of his bed.   When Terese’s psychotic vampire ex begins to stalk them, Apollo knows that he will have to use all of his strength to keep her safe.  Lucky for Terese, Apollo has more power than she could ever have imagined.

When you trifle with the sun god, you will get burned.

BLEED FOR ME is available for .99. The e-novella contains 20,000 words, and it’s a sexy romance (a bit sexier than my BOUND books). I sure hope that readers enjoy my take on the Greek gods. 😉 If readers like this world, then I definitely hope to write longer stories for other gods.

And…for a quick word about AUTHORS AFTER DARK…if you are going to the con, I hope we get the chance to chat! I am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. The conference looks fantastic!  I’ll be participating in several panels (one on Fallen Angels, one on Shifters, one on Romantic Suspense, and one on Writing Multiple POVs).  I’ll also be hosting an Ice Scream Party with Katie Reus, Virna DePaul, and Manda Collins.

On Saturday (from 2 PM until 4 PM), there will be a booksigning event at AUTHORS AFTER DARK–the booksigning is open to the public. So if you are in the New Orleans area, come by!

Venue:

Royal Sonesta Hotel

300 Bourbon Street New Orleans, LA 70130

When I come back, I am going to giveaway my AUTHORS AFTER DARK goodie bag (with books), so even if you can’t attend the conference, you still might win the goodies!  (And, with the release of HOWL FOR IT approaching, trust me–more giveaways are coming to this blog).

Enjoy your week!!!

HOWL FOR IT releases in less than a month! And the lovely folks at Kensington gave me this fabulous countdown widget so I could see the moments slide past…I do love to look forward to a release!

But now I’m wondering…what kind of party should I have for the release? One of my all-day parties with new giveaways each hour? Or should I spread out the fun and offer a week of giveaways (a few giveaways each day?)

I’m thrilled to say that my hero, Keenan, from ANGEL OF DARKNESS is in the running to be named the Summer’s Hottest Hero over at All Romance EBooks!!  (Trust me, Keenan is super excited by this news, too.)

If you’d like to vote for the heroes, head over to the Summer’s Hottest Hero Contest. You do need to have an account at All Romance Ebooks in order to vote.  The heroes are paired off against each other, and one hero from each pairing will advance to the next round.

Good luck to all the heroes!!!

I had several readers email me and ask if I could bundle my BOUND novellas…and I’m happy to say that the bundle is available now!

FOREVER BOUND includes BOUND BY BLOOD, BOUND IN DARKNESS, BOUND IN SIN, and BOUND BY THE NIGHT.  Here are the blurbs for the stories:

BOUND BY BLOOD

Vampires and werewolves have been blood enemies for centuries, but now a new threat is rising…demons are escaping from hell and those demons are intent on wiping out both the vamps and the werewolves.

In order to stop the demons, pureblood vampire princess Morgan LaBeaux agrees to the treaty offered by werewolf alpha Jace Vaughn. She’ll mate with him, share her blood with him…and in return, the wolves will aid the vampires in this battle.

But Morgan doesn’t realize just how dangerous the wolves can truly be. Jace has been waiting years to claim her. He’s set a trap for his princess, and now that he has her, Jace doesn’t plan to let her go.  He’ll send the demons back to hell, and he’ll keep his vampiress—forever.

BOUND IN DARKNESS

When it comes to killing vampires, werewolf Cade Thain is the best slayer in the Northwest. So when a witch hires him to take out a pureblood vamp, the assassin thinks it will be just business as usual. One less vicious vamp on the streets…one more undead parasite gone from the earth. Then he meets her.

Allison Gray isn’t the prey that Cade expects. Beautiful, innocent, she stirs a dark desire within him. Allison hasn’t transformed fully into a vampire, not yet, and it’s Cade’s job to make sure that she never does. Allison thinks that he’s at her side to keep her safe, but Cade is supposed to pick the right moment—and kill her.

Killing Allison is soon the last thing that Cade plans. As she begins the transformation that will turn her into a vampire, her bloodlust and their desire merge in an explosion of need that neither can control. But Allison’s enemies are closing in, and the coming battle will take Cade and Allison beyond life, beyond love…and into a deadly darkness that waits to claim them both.

BOUND IN SIN

Human Paige Sloan once loved werewolf Drake Wyler more than life, but then that life was taken away from her. Attacked by vampires, Paige was bitten, and, on a cold, dark night, the life she’d known ended. She was reborn as a vampire–a werewolf’s deadliest enemy.

Paige ran from the vampires who attacked her, and she ran away from her lover. She didn’t want Drake to know what she’d become, and she didn’t want to face the fury of his pack. But a girl can only run for so long until the past catches up with her.

When Paige learns that Drake is being targeted for death, she knows that she can’t hide in the shadows any longer. She has to return to him, and she will do anything–anything–in order to make sure that he keeps living. The vampires might have destroyed her chance to live and love Drake, but they won’t take him. Not over her undead body. She’ll slay them all…and maybe, just maybe…she’ll even have the chance to sin–one more time–with the werewolf who’d marked her as his mate.

BOUND BY THE NIGHT

For the last fifteen years, vampire queen Iona has been dead to the world.  Trapped under the power of a brutal curse, she has been helpless.  A prisoner, locked within her own still body. Then alpha werewolf Jamie O’Connell fights his way to her side.  After defeating the guards that surround her, Jamie gives Iona his blood…and she rises.

The world has changed a great deal in the last fifteen years, and Iona has changed, too. Once known as the Blood Queen because of her dark reputation, she now finds herself longing for the blood of only one man…only he isn’t just a man. She wants the blood of her werewolf—Jamie’s blood.  But Iona doesn’t realize that Jamie has been keeping secrets from her. Very dark, dangerous secrets.  And Iona may have traded one curse for another.

Now that he has Iona, Jamie vows to never let her go. He needs his Blood Queen in order to defeat his enemy, he needs her to make his own beast stronger, and…he just needs her.  Jamie has risked his life to claim Iona, and he won’t let anything break their bond. Not time. Not spells. Not even a wild and reckless vampire queen…

And, for my readers who have asked if I will be making these books available in print form–yes, I am working on that now! I will soon have a paperback version of FOREVER BOUND available. As soon as it is available, I will put a notification up on my blog.

Thanks so much for all of your support! Have a wonderful day!
