7 from Rock My Senses #mysexysaturday #mss66

“What the hell was that about in there? You’ve got blood dripping down your neck.”

Hello and welcome to the 66th week of My Sexy Saturday. I’m sharing seven paragraphs from my new release, which just came out on Halloween yesterday!

Seven from Rock My Senses

“What the hell was that about in there? You’ve got blood dripping down your neck.”

She dabbed at her neck and stared at her fingers, now stained dark red. “What the—” A snowflake went straight for her finger and we both watched mesmerized as stark white met velvet red and was swallowed by it.

A few snowflakes fell onto her cheeks and her tiny nose and I felt an urge to brush them away, but they melted once they met the warmth of her flushed skin. She had delicate features and pretty blue eyes. She looked familiar, but I couldn’t place how I knew her. Her blonde hair  lay tousled on her shoulders, set off by the black of a dress that clung to her tight little body. My cock had settled down after the freaky incident inside, but twitched back to life again.

“Are you two into some weird-ass drugs and vampire role-play or something?” I asked.

My question distracted her from her blood-covered fingers. She still appeared dazed, but wobbled less. The fresh air and sight of blood must have jolted her back to reality. She reached into her purse and pulled out tissues to blot the blood.

“I’m not judging,” I clarified, in case I embarrassed her. “We all have our things.” When she didn’t answer me, I asked, “Where do you live?”

She focused on me with a dead-eyed stare. “Figures you don’t remember.”

Rock My Senses

Rock My SensesComputer geek by day, by night Mike Harvey becomes outlandish guitarist Chee Keydood for rock band Velvet Cocks. Spotting two women kissing in a club, he thinks he’s in luck.

Allana Miles isn’t sure what came over her, but she sure as hell recognizes Chee and can’t believe he doesn’t remember her from their one-night stand. But she has no time to think about him—she’s too busy opening her own yoga studio to get involved in a relationship.

When they meet again at a New Year’s party, their attraction reignites, too hot to ignore. But they’ve got issues to overcome. Allana catches glimpses of the man behind the façade, but doesn’t think they can fit into each other’s lives even though the sex is great. Mike has always known he’s a bit different, but is shocked to discover his real nature. Will he be able to protect Allana from danger and convince her to take a chance on him?

Catherine is repulsed by his brutality and bestial rage, but entranced by his overwhelming, regal strength and powerful, dominant will. As her new captain breaks her down into his willing pet, she breaks him with her beauty, charm, and song. Deep within the monster hides a broken man, and only Catherine can soothe the savage beast.

When Catherine is wounded in a sea battle, Gregor saves her the only way he knows how, by passing the werewolf curse to her- and the first thing a newly afflicted female werewolf does is go into heat! Filled with new, insatiable lust, her desires are overwhelming.

Just as Catherine begins to reach the man inside the beast, a terror from his past comes calling. The Fang and its crew aren’t the only monsters prowling the waves, and an old enemy is out for blood.

Happy Halloween! Rock My Senses is Released Today! #pnr #gargoyle

I usually go crazy decorating this time of year, getting ready for Halloween, but this year is extra special. My publisher released my paranormal erotic romance Rock My Senses today, on Halloween! Oh joy!

If you’ve read Rock Me Tonight, you’ll revisit some of the characters in this book. I had so much fun creating the rock band the Velvet Cocks in Rock Me Tonight and the guitarist was such an interesting, outlandish character, I couldn’t wait to see what would happen if he had his own story.

And the cover–swoon. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stared at this, I love it so.

Happy Halloween!

7 from Knights of Stone for #mysexysaturday #Saturday7 #MSSAuthors

Great to be here for a Halloween-themed week at My Sexy Saturday. I’m happy to share seven paragraphs from my new release,  Knights of Stone. 

***

Murmurs of astonishment burst from the crowd as the transformation began. Their cries of fervor grew louder as the monstrous statues transformed into taller, slimmer figures with the bronzed skin of warriors who battled under the midday sun. The tartan fabric fell over their thighs as they stood erect, covering their nudity.

Kayla barely blinked, mesmerized as always, as the statue before her stood to full height, taking on the form of a human male, but with beautiful raven wings. Hair just as black snaked rebelliously past his chin. The stony eyes flickered with animation, turning to a mossy green. His deep gaze seared the audience, seeming to burn anything in the path. When he found Kayla, he stopped. His expression was unreadable, but the intensity in his unblinking eyes made her swallow. She froze under the scrutiny as if hypnotized, unable to break eye contact. Her stomach lurched, heart pounded, and every muscle in her body tightened, fueled with blood now scorching through her veins. His penetrating appraisal affected her so. When his eyes took on a smoldering glint, her skin tingled and a red-hot awareness grew between her thighs.

He broke the stare and continued to assess the audience. She gasped, not realizing she had been holding her breath, and panted while she tried to breathe at a normal rate.

He turned on robust legs and strode to a guitar stand. She tore her eyes from him to note the other gargoyles. They, too, had shifted into the form of striking males. One had black hair draped further down his back, one had long blond hair, and two had reddish-brown hair—one wavy and shaggy, the other straight. They took their place at other instruments. She sought the guitarist again and caught the first sound of the pick striking the strings. On hearing the guitar projected through the amp, the crowd roared again, pressing Kayla forward.

The freak show was about to begin.

Spotlights flooded the musicians, powered by solar panels near a massive amplifier. The guitarist continued playing and the others joined in, playing a raucous crossover between hard rock and heavy metal. The one with long blond hair grabbed hold of the microphone and belted out a shattering cry that sounded like a call to battle. The crowd went pin drop silent to listen and then cheered in unison as the band played on. The front man sang piercing growls and low croons about the Knights in Stone, the protectors of the ancient forests, battling against the evil tree witches.

Kayla’s coven.
