GRAND CENTRAL PUBLISHING
The first book in the exciting new SIN HUNTERS paranormal romance series

Adam Bruno is no ordinary millionaire. The heir to an ancient race possessing a dark, powerful magic, he can shapeshift and create energy. His gifts make him a living weapon and have forced him to live in seclusion. But now an inhuman force hunts down Adam-just when he finds someone who makes him feel more human than he ever imagined possible . . .

Home from combat in Iraq, Bobbie Carerra wants only peace, yet soon joins Adam in a terrifying battle against paranormal enemies who hide in plain sight. She’s drawn to his strength of mind and body; he’s attracted to her courage and intoxicating energy. Their scorching passion can either transport them to the heights of ecstasy or-if Adam’s powers rage out of control-destroy them. But when an invisible brotherhood tightens its nets and someone Adam trusts betrays him, only a heartrending decision can save them.

Caridad is offering some very cool giveaways today. One lucky commenter will win SINS OF THE FLESH and STRONGER THAN SIN,  and a LOST T-shirt.

Want to win?  Come on, I  want to win! 🙂 Since the hero of LOST can shapeshift, tell me…if you could shapeshift, which animal would you want to be?  One commenter will be selected to win tomorrow at noon.  Good luck!

Update: Thanks for telling me why you love those boys with bite! 🙂 So many good reasons!  A random winner was selected, and…Joanna B won the copy of FATED!

Sure, right now, I’m all about werewolves (with the release of NEVER CRY WOLF, I just have werewolves on my mind), but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a sexy vamp.  I can.  After all, when I watch True Blood, I cheer for both Team Eric and Team Alcide.

So I’m excited to say that my friend (and fellow Brava writer) Rebecca Zanetti has some very fun vampires for you.  Her current release, FATED, introduced me to a vampire alpha to die for (yep, literally).

FATED Blurb:

MARRY ME

Cara Paulsen does not give up easily.  A  scientist and a single mother, she’s used to doing whatever it takes to protect her daughter.  But “Whatever it takes” has never before included a shotgun wedding to a dangerous stranger with an attitude problem…

OR ELSE

Sure, the mysterious Talen says that he’s there to protect Cara and her daughter.  He also says that he’s a three-hundred-year-old vampire.  Of course, the way he touches her, Cara might actually believe he’s had that long to practice…

Rebecca will be continuing her vampire fun with the release of CLAIMED in November.

Rebecca is giving away an autographed copy of FATED to one commenter. Do you like boys with bite? Then tell her why.  🙂

UPDATE: The winners of the TUESDAY’S CHILD ebooks (from Smashwords) are: Stella (Ex Libris), Fedora, Michelle McMichael, Nikki Barrett, The Warrior, Leisa Prater, Sara, Shadow, Viki, Minna, Connie T, and Karen C! Congratulations!

Do you love great romantic suspense? Then I’ve got a treat for you!  Dale Mayer (BRAVA Writing With the Stars finalist) is going to give 12 lucky commenters a free ebook copy of her novel, TUESDAY’S CHILD. This book is a fantastic blend of paranormal romance and romantic suspense.  Here’s the blurb to tease you:

What she doesn’t want…is exactly what he needs.

Shunned and ridiculed all her life for something she can’t control, Samantha Blair hides her psychic abilities and lives on the fringes of society. Against her will, however, she’s tapped into a killer—or rather, his victims. Each woman’s murder, blow-by-blow, ravages her mind until their death releases her back to her body. Sam knows she must go to the authorities, but will the rugged, no-nonsense detective in charge of tracking down the killer believe her?

Detective Brandt Sutherland only trusts hard evidence, yet Sam’s visions offer clues he needs to catch a killer. The more he learns about her incredible abilities, however, the clearer it becomes that Sam’s visions have put her in the killer’s line of fire. Now Brandt must save her from something he cannot see or understand…and risk losing his heart in the process.

As danger and desire collide, passion raises the stakes in a game Sam and Brandt don’t dare lose.

Want to read an ebook copy from Smashwords? Dale is generously offering 12 copies for winners! To win, share why you enjoy romantic suspense novels.  (Shows like Criminal Minds & CSI have me so hooked.)  The winners will be picked randomly and announced tomorrow at noon.

Update: The winner of A STORM OF PASSION and A STORM OF PLEASURE is…Gabrielle J!

Sometimes, I love to get lost in a great historical romance, and Kensington Brava author Terri Brisbin is certainly skilled at writing such great tales.  Her latest book, MISTRESS OF THE STORM, is a powerful blend of historical and paranormal romance.

An epic struggle for dominance is ravaging the Isle of Skye. And in its midst, a man and a woman are locked together by fate—and fantasy…

Odious though it is, Isabel knows what she must do: go to the one known as the Healer, seduce him, and recruit him to her power-hungry stepfather’s cause. If she refuses, her innocent young sister will pay the terrible price of her disobedience. Yet after just one night with the man she must manipulate, it is clear to Isabel that even if she succeeds, the deceit will not leave her unscathed. For in the Healer’s powerful arms, her heart is lost forever…

Duncan of Skye knows there are those who would use his unusual gift for their own selfish gain. Even so, he yearns to trust the beautiful temptress who warms his bed and fills him with insatiable passion. And when he must choose between her future and his own, he may have to risk everything—even his life…

Update: The winner of the $15 Amazon.com gift certificate is…June M!

NEVER CRY WOLF is available today! It should be available on the shelves of your local store or  shipping from your favorite online retailer.

For the rest of the day, it will be party time at the blog. Lots of great guest authors. Lots of great prizes.  I hope you enjoy the posts–and I want to thank you for stopping by to help me celebrate. Thank you!!!

I love werewolves. Love them. They’re strong. They’re fierce.  They’re more than a bit wild.  Lucas Simone, my wolf shifter hero in NEVER CRY WOLF, is a guy that will never be fully controlled.  He’s dangerous, he’s dark, and he’s not  perfect Prince Charming material.  But I think that’s okay.
