Book Cover Makeovers & Latest Release…

My latest release is “The Lifeguard,” a clean (no sex) interracial romance novelette, and the third story in the speculative Bite-Sized Romance series. I wrote this one while working through the other books I promised! Those other ones should hopefully be done soon (I won’t throw out anymore tentative release dates).

The Lifeguard Book Cover
A BWWM Love Story

Synopsis: Regina Hartley has had enough. The demands of life have taken a toll on her, and no longer feeling equipped to endure the strain, she decides to end it all in watery surrender.
But instead of drowning to death, she finds herself being revived on shore by a concerned, handsome stranger, and after saving her, the stranger refuses to leave her alone.
She realizes she doesn’t mind his attention so much, and she finds herself more interested in what else life has to offer overall. But after saving her spirit, will the handsome stranger eventually disappear?

Now available on Amazon and other platforms!

Before the month is out, Brandon: The Wilde Brothers is scheduled to be available.

Synopsis: Brandon doesn’t have a care in the world.
Luck has followed him and his twin brother, Connor, their whole lives—even landing them in the billionaire’s club—and the luck of genetics ensured him that, with or without money, he would always have women after him.

But Brandon’s luck has just run out. He has agreed to the terms of an annual challenge with his brothers to conquer a woman from a chosen group, and in the process, suddenly finds himself facing a conundrum: while carrying out the challenge with one woman, he realizes his feelings for a childhood friend, Erica, goes far beyond friendship—especially now that she’s getting married.

Now, two gorgeous prizes are on the line, and it seems he can’t win one without losing the other. If he drops everything and goes after Erica, he loses the game. If he lets his fake relationship play out, he wins his older brother’s stunning Hawaiian beach house, but could lose Erica forever.
Brandon is used to surfing along wherever life wants to take him, but will he finally interrupt the flow and take a necessary risk?

Erica Cain once had a crush on Brandon Wilde as a silly teenager, but she eventually got over it; in fact, she’s glad it never worked out for them romantically once she sees what a vile boyfriend Brandon would have made as she watches him navigate life. She is convinced she has moved on from that schoolgirl crush, and finds herself a dedicated, stable man to settle down with. But now Brandon’s blue eyes are looking at her in a way they never have, and it is stirring up feelings she has long buried. She can’t let Brandon crash into her life and wash away her plans, but how long can she resist Brandon’s heated baby blues?

NEW RELEASE! Alec: The Wilde Brothers (The Billionaire’s Desire)

Rose

Released 4/29/14, a sexy BWWM contemporary romance:

SYNOPSIS: Just a few bored billionaire brothers having fun. But at whose expense?

The Wilde brothers have spent the past few years reaping the rewards of their youth, good looks, and massive wealth. They can acquire whatever ‘toy’ or amusement they desire, and fly wherever they want, whenever they want, with practically whomever they want. Still, they want more—at least Alec, the eldest, does, and he has an idea how to get it.

To alleviate their eventual boredom with the easy life, the brothers propose specific games—dares, chases, and challenges—to each other every year on their birthday. They’ve bedded supermodels, famous actresses and pop stars, but this year, Alec proposes they go after someone from their past—someone ‘normal’ yet elusive—and give them the time of their life.

Brandon and Connor have to think hard about their prospects, but Alec knows exactly who he wants go after: Dahlia Bridges—a girl who has haunted him since their playground days. He thinks she could be the missing puzzle piece in his otherwise full, decadent life and he will do everything in his power to make her his. But how much will it take?

This is the first book following the Wilde brothers: Alec, Brandon, & Connor.

There is also a Goodreads giveaway for a print copy of this book here.

Brandon’s story forthcoming in June 2014.

Connor’s story forthcoming in July 2014.

*Win a paperback copy of the revised, anniversary edition! To be released June 1, 2014!* 🙂

SYNOPSIS:

Sydney Johnson is a nerd and proud—always doing the right thing, and following the rules.
But routine fails her one evening, as she finds herself the random target of a kidnapping and assault by a group of boys. As a result of being blindfolded, she never sees her attackers or the location of the crime, so she decides to keep the incident to herself.

She later drowns herself in college academic tasks, her only companion her childhood best friend—until she meets Nicholas Dhalton.

Devil-may-care Nicholas doesn’t know much about consequences. A rich heir, he finds little reason to acquaint himself with responsibility. But everything changes when Sydney Johnson enters his life.

Once their paths cross, and against their better judgments, Nicholas and Sydney embark upon an unconventional relationship at the risk of all that is familiar and stable.

As their relationship grows, and they reveal their deepest secrets, they eventually realize they have a damning past. With race and class trying to separate them, can their love survive yet another obstacle?

WARNING: Dark themes and heavy subject matter.

Originally published 3/29/13, A Tangled Web is my fiction debut and the first in the Dangerous Secrets series–a series of unrelated interracial stories highlighting terrible secrets.

The second edition was published 5/30/13, with minor changes and additions, and it is now in its  third (Anniversary) edition, published 4/6/14.

The anniversary edition has been significantly modified from the earlier editions. Sections have been added, cut, and moved from one chapter to another, amongst other changes and revisions (such as the addition of chapter titles and an epilogue). It was originally scheduled to be released 3/29/14, but was delayed a week due to formatting issues.

If you bought an earlier edition from B&N or ARe, the latest edition should be accessible (soon for Amazon).
