INTO THE BLACK

Hot, Hot Heroes

9/29/2014

 
I was tagged by Jodi Linton (creator of the fabulous Laney Briggs series) to join in with the Meet the Character blog hop—which kind of sucks a bit, because my kickass hero who you really need to meet right now, is currently under the blanket (naked), and will remain so for another week until his story releases in Hard to Forget on October 6th.

Not a problem, Nick Marshall of Hard to Hold (a good friend of said anonymous naked kickass hero) has stepped up to hold the line.

But, before engaging in the character assassination of Nick Marshall, a little about Jodi Linton:  Jodi is the mastermind behind the hilarious, crazy-Texan Deputy Laney Briggs series, featuring the trials, tribulations and furnace-hot heat of Laney and Gunner. 

Her first two titles, Pretty Reckless and Whatcha Gonna Do With a Cowboy defy definition. Yes both are romantic suspenses, but both are so much MORE (hence the live buy links), go check them out.

Now for the hero of Hard to Hold 

What is the name of your character? 
Special Agent (former assassin with British Intelligence), Nick Marshall. And he’s severely repressed…unwittingly, his determined self-control makes him lethal.

When and where is the story set? 
Present day London, with a bit of explosive, overseas travel thrown in.

What should we know about your character? 
He’s hot. He’s damaged. He’s a tactless bastard. And, he’s a stickler for rules. Beneath the guilt—and I do meant guilt not gilt—plated armour, he’s fiercely protective, and a hazard to those threatening Anna.

What is your character’s goal? 
To protect his ex-wife, Anna Key (say it fast)…God help him and his sanity.

What is screwing up your character’s life (main conflict in writerly speak)? 
His fear that the sins of his father ‘Mad Mickey’ Marshall, live on in him. Oh, and Anna… She who will not be constrained, contained or conquered. Damn her!

What is the title? 
Hard to Hold (because Nick is, and so too, is Anna)

When can we expect the book to be published or when was it published? 
Hard to Hold is available now through Amazon, iTunes, Barnes & Noble…and though strictly embargoed, Hard to Forget (2nd title in the Hard to…. series), releases next week (October 6).

Now I’ve probably screwed up the protocol of this blog hop but I believe major talents 

Aleah Barley 

Lauren Smith and 

Veronica Forand 

Are blog hopping too, with hot heroes of their own, so take a look.

TWO ADULTS ENJOYING A LITTLE FUN-FUN TIME

9/15/2014

On the heels of Daring to Wish and Best Fake Day (two wonderful contemporary romances) Tracey Rogers just released Employee of the Month, in which two adults misbehaving (or as I prefer to deem it, exercising their right to a little fun-fun time) have to face the consequences of their calendared rendezvouses.

You’ve got self imposed rules broken, forbidden love in the work place, unexpected pregnancy, heat (lots of heat), dysfunctional family dynamics, and a hero who’s about to find out that, yes, whilst you can have your cake and eat it, but there will be, well… consequences.

For those of you who have yet to discover Ms Rogers, she writes delicious romances rich with wit, dark moments, and artfully drawn heroes and heroines who engage from the get-go.

Author Bio

Usually found with a pen in my hand, or my head in a book, I’m a contemporary romance author who also thinks fangs and wings are a very attractive accessory.

A devourer of books from an early age, imagination was my best discovery. I spent much of my childhood stepping into wardrobes, searching for that magical snowy world where conversing with animals would be expected. When I wasn’t searching for those worlds, I wrote about them instead. My first step into the world of romance was when I stole sneak peeks into my nana’s books. I’m still in that world and I refuse to leave.

I live in Staffordshire, UK, with my husband and three wonderful children. An avid reader and writer of romance, I strongly believe that words make the world go around. I like nothing more than to be swept away by the words on a page. I hope I can sweep you away too.

Some rules are made to be broken…

Rule number 1:  No touching

Rule number 2:  No kissing

Rule number 3:  Never, ever, fall in love


Holly Wilder finds some of those rules pretty difficult to follow during her boss’s visits to present the Employee of the Month award. A relationship between them is prohibited, and even if it wasn’t, Holly has no intention of ever falling in love again. But that doesn’t stop her from craving Max’s touch.

Hotel owner Max Lazzari never expected to break his own rules, especially when they are so important to him. But sexy employee Holly is too hard to resist. Their no-strings, secret arrangement fits in perfectly with his no-commitment plan. A plan to ensure that no woman will ever again have the opportunity to hurt him.

Sizzling nights together mean Holly and Max start looking forward to the monthly visits more and more. Until they are both brought down to earth with a bump—a pregnancy one!

Will rule breaking lead to broken hearts?

Content Warning: contains sensual sex and some strong language (I can vouch for that...and its woven in beautifully)

Excerpt

Holly carried a tray holding freshly ground coffee. The plush carpeted corridor absorbed the tension in her legs as she headed to Max Lazzari’s office. Dragging air deep into her lungs, she inhaled the aroma of coffee, allowing it to invigorate her senses.

Must be professional, she reminded her lust-filled brain, though her body’s reactions were refusing to comply.

Balancing the tray on one of her not quite controlled arms, Holly sucked in a breath before knocking on the door.

“Come in.” His deep tone made her tray wobble. She watched with wide eyes as the coffee almost sloshed over the rim of the cup, then watched how the ripples of liquid aftershock mirrored the way her insides felt.

Complete turmoil.

She opened the door and looked at the man with his dark head dipped to the computer screen. “Your coffee, Mr. Lazzari.” The door fell closed behind her. Her brow furrowed when she spotted the full coffee pot plugged into the machine behind him.

His keen green eyes, hooded beneath long lashes, were lifted up at her.

She carried the tray over to set it on the desk. “I believe you wanted to speak to me about an upcoming function. Which function would that be?”

He rose, startling her. Her shaky fingers still gripped the tray, but now her hold whitened her knuckles. The cup rattled.

“This one,” his husky voice said. With a grin he took her chin in his hand and captured her mouth with his. He dropped his hand, bracing both of them on the desk to kiss her more thoroughly, more deeply.

Holly allowed arousal to cascade through her, absorbing the softness and skill of his lips as he teased and swept, offering her the taste she’d been craving. She lifted her hand to thread her fingers through the dark hair at his nape.

God, she’d been waiting for this.

Arching closer, her thighs dug hard into the desk edge. She tilted her head, inviting him deeper. If her darned pencil skirt wasn’t so tight she’d have crawled over the desk by now. She heard a soft groan. Hers.

“Missed me?” Max chuckled as he gave her his now familiar lopsided grin. The one she held in her memory to help her through the weeks.

“I did,” she confirmed, frowning as she mourned the loss of his lips. “There was an extra day in this month.”

She rested her palms over his jaw, covering the dimples in his tanned cheeks. She liked the feel of his smooth, clean shaven skin, the warmth against her needy hands.

“But you broke the rules, Mr. Lazzari. Absolutely no touching at work, remember?”

Wanted: One Naked Male Model

9/5/2014

Ripped male model. Naked. Posed. Muscles bunched... Would you attend a life drawing class? Chelsea did...and wow!

Seriously, I'm tempted (can't draw though...and I'm easily distracted). So I'll have to settle for  living vicariously. Thanks NIKKI DEE HOUSTON (Naughty Nikki as I like to call her), for the experience. 

Now Nikki may be naughty (just ask Chelsea, lead player in her new release), but she's also a mighty generous soul. She's happy to share the sexploits in

Chelsea is lonely, loveless, and horny as hell since her boyfriend dumped her.


Her good friend from the office, Troy, suggests she take up art classes in the hope of meeting a nice guy. He knows what she needs, and he doesn’t want to spoil their friendship by having to do it himself.

Stuart, the male nude model at life drawing classes has the perfect body. Chelsea can barely contain her desire as she studies his smooth, waxed, muscle-toned physique and then attempts to commit it to canvas. She acquaints herself with every gorgeous inch of his body, and although her skills as an artist fall a bit short, the vision of Stuart’s torso is wonderful fodder for her nocturnal fantasies. She feeds sumptuously, sating her ravishing hunger, quelling her desires. But it’s not enough. She needs more. She needs the real thing, not just her fantasies.  

Extract 

She stared at the delicate shade of blue on the stark white paper. A magnificent male penis, gloriously protruding from a muscular, flat stomach, dominated the sketch. Slender thighs framed the flaccid appendage, and beneath, graceful testicles hung like pollen-filled stamens drooping from a flower.

She looked up to see a little crowd gather around her, speechless at the beauty of the drawing. A male voice, soft and rich, spoke.

“Chelsea? That is just…wonderful.”

She turned and gazed into Peter’s eyes, admiration oozing from them.
