Self-made millionaire Holly Charleston has come a long way
since her homeless days. Sometimes, she believes life would have been simpler
before fortune and fame. With every man she meets imagining dollar signs, she
yearns for the one man who sees the real Holly. A mysterious wealthy stranger
may be the one, but she must control her sexsomnia and trust issues if she
hopes for a real chance at love.
Professional thief Drake Davenport is ready to begin an
honest life. However, his last assignment leads him to steal the heart diamond
necklace from a woman known as Ms. Frost. But Holly guards her heart close and
her assets closer. Once Holly thaws to Drake's seduction attempts, he finds
himself in a position of protecting her from a hired mercenary or living the
life he believes he earned. Drake realizes the challenge of stealing the
diamond is nothing compared to the challenge of stealing Holly's heart.

Excerpt:
Holly tilted her chin, and stared at him with a longing. “I
hope so,” she whispered.
His mouth was suddenly dry. He had to taste her again. He
wanted to make Holly forget about her pain and the necklace. He leaned in, and
swept his lips across hers. Her lips parted and he teased the inside of her
mouth with his tongue. She moaned and tilted her head, as he grabbed her by her
neck and pulled her closer. His bare chest pressed hard against her shirt. He
ached to feel the warmth of her skin against his.
He leaned over her, pushing her backward until she lay
sideways on the large sofa. Holly wrapped her arms around his neck; her damp
clothing began to chill his flesh. “Let’s get you out of these clothes.”
He leaned back, and pulled her up with him. He wanted inside
of her now. “I want you,” he said as he moved his hands between them, pushing
her wet shirt up over her breasts, and then over her head.
She didn’t give him a chance to remove her bra, she’d
already unhooked and pitched it to the floor.
She looked as hungry for him as he was for her. He stood,
slid his pants off and his erection was near her face while she shimmed out of
her skirt. She stared at his dick, and then at his face.
“You’re a beautiful man, Drake.” She reached out and took
his cock into her hands, and stroked him.
Drake closed his eyes and let his head fall back. “No one’s
ever called me beautiful before.” He groaned as she palmed his rock-hard cock.
“It’s true. You are,” she said right before she leaned over
and took his dick into her mouth.
Drake arched his back and gently pumped. God, she felt so
good, but he wanted inside of her pussy. If she didn’t stop he would come into
her mouth in less than ten seconds. “Stop.”
Holly shook her head while still holding him in her mouth.
Her tongue worked magic as she slid him in and out between her lips.
“Oh…I’m…” The tension in his balls twisted and he thrust
harder into her warm mouth. “Holly,” he moaned.
She sucked harder. He shuddered and wrapped his hand around
her firm breast. The orgasm lasted way too long, his knees grew weak and his
heart pounded.
Holly leaned back, licked her lips and smiled. “I want you
inside of me, Drake.”
He cupped her chin, leaned in and trailed kissed down her
jaw. She angled her head and reclined as he moved forward. He wasn’t too hard
yet, but he knew it would only take a second. Just looking at her delicate thin
figure beneath him caused his thoughts to cloud. Her hips sported a bikini tan
line, but he pictured her sunbathing naked instead.
Holly’s smooth hand traced down his abs, and across his hip
as he positioned himself over her. She spread her legs wide, and his cock
thickened.
She was magnificent in the dim light. He wrapped her legs
around his waist, and nudged the tip of his cock at the entrance of her wet
core. He pressed in, and her pussy wrapped perfectly around him.
Perfect.
He trailed kisses across her neck, down her collar bone and
noticed she smelled fantastic.
Everything about her seemed different. He liked her – a lot.
He swallowed, gripping her hips and thrusting as hard as
possible. She moaned into his ear, and tightened her legs around him.
“Drake,” she said, and then stilled beneath him. Her panting
told him she was there. “Come for me, sweet Holly.”
Holly gasped and their gazes met. She trembled beneath him,
and he could barely breathe. He came moments after her, and his legs, arms and
entire being shuddered.
Drake’s mouth found hers, and he kissed her deep and hard.
He leaned back and shook his head. “Wow.”
Holly laughed. “I was about to say the same thing.”
Q: Are you a “day” writer or “night” writer?
A: Both. I try to write as much as I can on my days off from
the day job, and I sometimes write at night, but only if everyone is sleeping
or out of the house. Wish I could put the dogs out too, but that doesn’t work.
I tend to venture to Starbucks when the house is full of distractions. For some
reason, strangers don’t bother me like my family.
Q: What inspired you to write a contemporary erotic romance
about Sexsomnia? And what is Sexsomnia?
A: I normally write paranormal romance, but I wanted to try
my hand at something different. I friend of mine loves writing them, so I
thought I give it a try. It’s not as easy as I thought it would be. Nothing
ever is, right? Anyway, I had a situation in my book where I needed a damn good
reason for my character to do what she was doing, and I couldn’t come up with a
logical reason, so I called out to my writing friends and one of them told me
about an article she just read. Bingo. Sexsomnia fit perfectly.
I had no idea what Sexsomnia was either. I did research, and
DIAMONDS was born. (Here is a definition from Wikipedia: Sleep sex aka
sexsomnia aka sexual behavior in sleep is a form of non-rapid eye movement
(NREM) parasomnia. Sexsomnia can cause
people to engage in sexual acts while they are asleep, such as masturbation,
fondling and sexual intercourse.) --- See how this could be a problem.
I want readers to be aware that there is such a thing, and
if they think they have it or someone they know has it, they should seek help.
Go on the internet and research it.
Q: What do you want readers to come away with after reading
your books?
A: It might be silly, but I want readers to learn something
new. That’s what I enjoy when reading books, and I hope to pass this along to
my readers. I hope my readers experience a happy ending right alongside of my
characters.
Q: What books are you working now?
A: I’m plotting, PEARLS, the 2nd book in The Stiletto
Millionaire Club series, and after PEARLS, I’m hoping to start on SAPPHIRES,
the 3rd book in the series. After that I hope to finish writing a paranormal
romance that’s been kicking my butt for far too long.
Q: Tell us something readers won’t find on your website:
A: I love chocolate
more than food and water.
Dawn Chartier never knew she wanted to be a writer while
growing up. Sure her parents owned a
book shop, and she was surrounded by bookworms, but she wasn’t one of “those”
writers who started early. No, Dawn was
inspired by strange events in her life, one was a bitch named, Katrina. Yes,
that hur-ricane. But a few months before the storm, Dawn read an article on
Marie Laveau in the New Orleans local newspaper and it sparked an idea. She
began researching the voodoo priestess, and then Katrina hit.
Out of destruction, ideas formed, characters spoke and plots
twisted. One thing lead to another and an author was born. (Must have been
something in the air, because a few authors were born out of Katrina’s wrath.)
Dawn Chartier sold her first paranormal romance book, (Not
An Angel) to The Wild Rose Press, and her second book, a contemporary erotic
romance (Diamonds) to Siren BookStrand. Dawn is a member of RWA, Sola-Writers,
FF&P and Savvy Authors. You can find her chatting on Twitter and Facebook
when she’s not buried inside of a book or writing her next one.
Dawn lives near New Orleans with her husband, two daughters,
two golden retrievers, and plenty of wildlife.
