Blurb:

Ex-CIA agent Melvin Escabar has sworn to live and die by his honor. Love is a weakness, nothing more. Now he spends his time in the underwater fortress of Aukrabah, working to protect the Bracadytes from the land walkers who will stop at nothing to destroy them. Dubbed “Thrasher" by the Bracadytes, Melvin becomes a blood brother to the giant warriors and would gladly die fighting alongside them. He has no time for love, nor does he want the inconvenient emotion. Until the beautiful Arkadian warrior, Kaspyn, is thrust into his life. Kaspyn is fierce, gorgeous, deliciously deadly… Her very presence threatens to thaw Melvin's icy heart.

As the daughter of a king, the Arkadian princess Kaspyn must adhere to certain rules laid out by her father: never show weakness, die with dignity, and know your enemies. Though the Bracadytes aren’t Kaspyn’s enemies, the humans they consort with are another story altogether. Especially the cocksure Thrasher. His sheer arrogance and dominant ways are enough to set her teeth on edge. Not to mention the human blood that pumps through his veins. No, Kaspyn has no use for the land walker, Melvin Escabar, other than a place to store her blade. But something about him draws her in, disarms her…until he haunts her dreams and every waking thought. All Kaspyn knows is she has to get Melvin Escabar out of her system—or risk losing her heart forever.

Book Description:

In the darkness of night, desire reigns supreme.

The sins of the past live on in the present…

Carefree submissive Linnet Adams is living the dream with a promising future, another semester of school under her belt, and best of all, the devotion of Master Gage. Her life at Crave, the city’s most exclusive BDSM club, is everything to her until she’s thrust into a living nightmare.

Seven years, seven murders…

Ryder, a male submissive at Crave, is devoted to the lifestyle and one very hard to pin down Domme. He is also a Doctor of Psychology specializing in BDSM related crimes. When yet another murder occurs, he is asked to assist Detective Linnet Adams. Sometimes the truth is hiding in plain sight, and all it can take is one kiss.

The whisper of the cane can bring them heaven or hell…

Gage still dreams about the sub who got away. Linnet was his fantasy girl and the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. As the new owner of Crave, he still can’t get her out of his mind.

A discovery is about to rock his world and bring the past and future colliding together. If only he has the courage to embrace it.

Excerpt:

It had been a rough week, and her exams were finally done, freeing up more of her time to devote to Master Gage. Just the thought of her dark haired, muscular Dom sent shivers down her spine. The good kind.  “Master Gage said we had to keep everything low key until the semester was over. I just hope he’ll make it in tonight. He texted me he was going to be late and to help with the visitors.”

“Maybe he wants you to help the new guy feel at home.” Her best friend April grinned and spun from side to side on the bar stool, her feet dangling. “He’s supposed to be Master Gage’s special guest.” She polished off her cranberry juice and turned to slide the empty glass across the bar to Bernie.

“Thanks.”

“No problem.” The large black man smiled, his eyes dancing merrily. Everyone understood Bernie was the biggest teddy bear in the place, but if anyone threatened one of the subs, he would rival even the toughest Dungeon Monitor. “You girls be careful tonight. The boys upstairs are on another membership drive, and I’m not so sure they checked out everyone like they normally do.”

“Hmmm.” She eyed the charismatic blond man from across the room. He was surrounded by women, each one eager to get a taste. “God. It’s like a feeding frenzy.”

April laughed. “It is. I hope they leave more than the bones for whoever gets him tonight.” Her Domme Evelyn waved at her from the St. Andrew’s cross. “Look, I have to go. Mistress Evelyn is summoning me. You have a great time, honey, and give me a call tomorrow.”

“Will do.” Linnet picked up her ginger ale and took a small sip. She tugged down her frilly micro skirt and checked her corset to make sure everything was in place. It felt good to sit down. The new black heels she’d worn tonight were absolutely killing her, and it hadn’t even been two hours yet. 

Bernie narrowed his eyes, his lips turning down in disapproval as he gazed at the blond. “You be careful around that one, Linnet. There’s been talk.”

Linnet cocked her head. “What kind of talk?”

“The kind that makes me want to throw his ass out the front door and not care where it lands. I can’t believe he wormed his way in here.”

“Really?”

“Just don’t let yourself be alone with him, okay?”

“Point taken.” She swallowed the last of her drink and heaved herself off the stool and back onto the floor. Her feet still hurt, but at least it was a little better after sitting. “I’d better make my way into the fray. If Master Gage comes in and sees me sitting, I’ll get my backside warmed but good.”

Bernie chuckled. “You know you like it when that man paddles you. Hell, he could paddle me anytime.”

“Naughty, Bernie.” Linnet giggled.

“Don’t you know it, babe. Now you watch yourself, you hear?”

“I will. Don’t worry.”

Saving Holiday by Lisa A. Adams

http://www.breathlesspress.com/index.php?main_page=product_free_shipping_info&cPath=10&products_id=512

Blurb

Holiday "Holly" Thomas has never been able to live down her name or the mistakes she's made in her past.  Desperate to start over, she moves to Barbeque Creek to open up a new quilt shop and begin a new life.
When Officer Jackson Duggan entered Sew Amazinglooking for the perfect present for his mother, he never thought he would find a gift waiting just for him, but Jackson's not ready to move on from the love they shared in the past.
With Holly sprinting toward her future and Jackson clinging to the past, will the pair be able to stop long enough to enjoy the present? Or will a threat neither of them saw coming ruin the opportunity before they even get a chance?

Excerpt

Holly's nerves seemed to thaw and she lifted her glass again. "To new beginnings?"
"Now that, I can drink to."
The time passed with light conversation and several more drinks. Holly found herself drawn in by Jackson. His mouth was tantalizing and his words tingled deep within her belly. Aching to be closer to him, she leaned across the table. When she rested her hands on the table and he began stroking her the ends of her fingertips, pleasure coursed through her as their hands touched and mingled on the table top.
Holly saw the return of the confident, charming man that she really wanted to be with. He was gorgeous with his trimmed haircut, Panther jersey, and those eyes that seemed to burn intoher. They had changed from the brooding puppy dog to a sexy,seductive male who drew her in with every word and caress of her skin.
Holly glanced at the plates. One cheese stick and one wing left. "I'll let you have the wing, if I can finish this," she said, pointing to the cheese stick.
"Deal." He picked up the wing and gnawed on it, leaving a smear of sauce from his lip to his cheek.
Holly giggled. She stood as much as she could behind the booth and leaned further across the table. Grabbing his chin and turning it slightly to the right, she kissed the streak of barbeque sauce then moved across to the edge of his lips and gave a gentle kiss again.
He turned to her and kissed her back, gently at first, and then harder and more passionately. He stretched towards her, pushing into her mouth and gripping her face between his hands.

How did you start writing erotic romance?

·         I started writing romance about four years ago. I kept it light with sweet tales and nothing more than heat level two or maybe three. There was a call for submissions for an anthology that required a heat level of at least a four. I had decided not to write for it, but as the deadline drew closer, a story began forming in my mind. That story was my first ever erotic romance. It was extremely out of my comfort zone, but I gained a world of experience from it. I grew as a writer, and I will never regret writing it.

Plotter or pantser?

·         When I first started writing, I was a pure pantser.  Some of those first stories were quite literally, the hardest I ever wrote and were all over the page. Now, I do an extremely loose outline. I break my story apart by chapters and scenes and add no more than a line or two per scene to get me going in the right direction. Often as I'm writing, the idea changes somewhere in the middle, and I let myself go with it. As long as I have a destination in mind, I know it will be much more coherent.

What are three things you have on your writing desk?

·         Pens and paper are always present and are never used for writing books but more for writing notes to my children's schools or copying down codes and things. A coffee mug is essential and is there all the time, hopefully not empty. The last thing that seems to be always on my desk is a plethora of papers. Finely colored drawings from my daughter, receipts, junk mail, and the list keeps growing and growing. 

Favorite food?

·         Alice Springs Chicken at Outback Steakhouse. But, in my own house, I am a trail mix snacker. Karr's nut and chocolate trail mix is my favorite!

Tell us a little about your new release. What character in the book really spoke to you?

·         "Saving Holiday" is my first romantic suspense novella and was really an amazing experience. Though the story starts off in our hero's point of view. Holiday, Holly for short, was really my inspiration. When I started hearing her whisper in my mind, I knew this was a story that had to be told. Holly is running from her past and trying to move forward with her life. But, her past is an incredible story and when it finally catches up to her, it stops her dead in her tracks.

I write because ____...

·         because I truly enjoy the creative process. Finding these knew people, putting them in unexpected situations, and watching the results play out in my mind is reward in itself. Getting to share those stories with people is just icing on the proverbial cake.

What is your favorite type of character to write about?

·         I absolutely LOVE to write head strong, independent women who know exactly what they want. I've gotten rejections before from publishers that said that my heroine was too strong and my heroes were too weak. It's hard to write Beta males and alpha females, when so many women want to read about a Strong male lead that will sweep some woman of her meek little feet. My Ancient Rome series "Caledonia's Captives" has a ton of very strong female characters. Through hours of editing and the help of an amazing editor, I've learned how to balance both alpha male and alpha females. Their compromises often to lead to plot turning events. 

What is the sexiest scene you ever wrote?

·         You can always include an erotic orgy to this list like in my erotic romance "The Initiate." But, I honestly have to say that the sexiest scene I ever wrote was a sensual massage scene in a new adult book I wrote. My skin was tingling after writing that scene and I received several blushing compliments from my beta readers about the scene. It was incredibly sexy.

What advice would you give new authors in the erotica/romance field?

·         There was a debate on facebook earlier this summer that I was lucky enough to take part in. That debate led me to post to my blog and I'd like to share a bit of that here. I have friends that write romance that I keep in touch with frequently. We all have the same belief. "My kink may not be your kink and that's fine." Some of my friends write nothing but heat level five and that is there writing style. They are amazing authors and I absolutely love reading their books. However, I also have friends that write only sensual romance with closed door sex and lots of emotional development. They too are amazing authors and do very well with their own writing style. My advice to new romance authors? Write what you are comfortable with first, then spread your wings if you like. There are buyers for all levels of heat. You don't have to write them all.

What is next on your writerly horizon?

·         I have two other short stories that have already been accepted for anthologies that I will be editing at the beginning of the year. As far as my next stand-alone piece, I'm completing the third and final instalment to my Ancient Rome series and hope to have it subbed to my publisher by the end of January. 

Thanks for inviting me today. I've really had a great time visiting with you and your readers. If you'd like to know more about my published works, have a question about publishing or the writing process, or anything else, I'd love to hear from you.

Lethal Obsession: A Visit With Shandra Miller

Lethal Obsession

Angela Martin is chief detective for the Moose Creek, N.C., police department, when a possible murder call comes in. At the scene she finds the body of a woman, hanging from hands bound overhead, eyes blindfolded, mouth gagged. Red whip marks crisscross the woman’s buttocks, the back of her legs. She recognizes the scene, knows exactly what happened to the woman before she died, because Det. Angela Martin was bound and blindfolded, gagged and whipped exactly as this woman had been. By a man she met on line.

A killer.

A master whose power over her is so strong she’s willing to risk everything – her career, even her life – to be with him again.

LETHAL OBSESSION is a novel of desire and domination, suspicion and fear, and the mysterious way those emotions mingle into an inescapable pull, one that might cost Angela her life.

*****

An excerpt:

I am going to die.

Because I’m stupid.

That was the final lucid thought Angela was able to form before emotion replaced rational thinking. His hands – gentle yet deliberate in the way they had already worked the rest of her clothing from her body – unfastened first one strap that hung over her shoulders, then the other, and Angela felt her face flush as the chemise fell, leaving her nude.

She heard a whimper as the hot sting of leather kissed her buttocks, then the whimper grew to a muffled cry with the second and third strike, and Angela realized it was her own voice she was hearing, what little voice she could form through the gag.

Her body trembled at a fourth and fifth strike. Fear and adrenaline coursed through her body, and Angela moaned. Embarrassment competed with fear, embarrassment at being naked and vulnerable, and at the realization her body was responding to his actions, that she could no longer control herself, with each lash from the belt arousal grew; fear as the realization dawned on her, not rationally but in some deep, visceral way, that she was helpless and alone, at the mercy of a stranger who clearly had painful intentions for her.

Then it all went away, replaced by the hard sensation of ice, first against her right nipple, then her left. Angela cried out at the cold, her body jerking, but the sound was muffled, and she moved little, with her arms stretched overhead, wrists bound, snuggly held in place by…by what she wasn’t sure, with her vision nothing more than blackness behind a blindfold.

She turned her body away from the cold as much as she could, and Angela felt another sharp sting of leather across her buttocks.

“You will stand still.”

The voice, little more than a whisper, was firm and even. No anger, no frustration, just a simple command.

Again the ice, but Angela held her footing, though her body trembled in spite of her attempt at remaining perfectly still. The cold pressed against her, hard, and then she felt the ice slipping around the nipple, making larger and larger circles outward, spiraling across her breasts.

As suddenly as the ice had come, it was gone. In its place she felt his lips...kissing her right nipple, gently at first, ever so softly. A mix of sensations rolled through her body – the air against her left nipple, still wet from the ice, almost stinging cold, while his kisses brought warmth to her right nipple. Despite the embarrassment, the fear, Angela felt herself growing wetter than she could ever remember as his hands caressed her hips. She moaned, instinctively arched her hips forward and felt teeth clamp down on her nipple. Not hard enough to be a bite, but with enough force to hurt.

She whimpered and, again acting on instinct, tried pulling away, which served to elicit even more pain before he released her nipple.

“You are not very compliant,” he said. As before his voice was little more than a whisper, followed by the sound of leather slicing through the air and the sensation of it slapping hard across her butt, wrapping around her body, the tip of the belt kissing her, there, with pain.

About Shandra Miller

Shandra is a mid-western gal who left home at 16 and never looked back. Eventually she made her way to Florida, worked for three years as a carnie and another three with a circus -- yes, a real, live, honest-to-god circus. Traveled all through the South and Mid-Atlantic, town to town, on the road eight months at a time.

Now she’s a small-town office girl, filing papers, answering the phone. She doesn’t own a cell phone or a TV, she takes long walks at night, lies in the grass in the day time and watches the clouds go by, and she writes erotica. Blazing hot erotica. And mystery stories dripping with lust, sex and suspense.

Pierced by Love Series Tour and Giveaway

First, I'd like to thank  Erzabet for inviting me to guest post today; I'm excited to be here! I was asked the question: Does suspense add any unique elements to an already hot romance? Well, my response is a resounding YES!

The dictionary defines suspense as: a quality in a work of fiction that arouses excited expectation or uncertainty about what may happen. That sounds about right, I suppose.

I think suspense is a wonderful tool for writers to employ when constructing a great romance, mainly for two big reasons. For starters, suspense can help drive a plot line forward in really fun and exciting ways. I mean, there's nothing like dangling your heroine from a rope, outside a 50 story building, or even over a cliff on top of a mountain, and watching (or reading) with baited breath as your hero tries desperately to figure out how to save her! Or having your hero throw himself in front of a speeding bullet in order to keep her safe, and then wondering with every frantic turn of the page whether or not his ultimate act of bravery and love will end up being the death of him! That's the kind of stuff that makes your blood pump and your heart pound. The thing that makes you unable to put a book down.

The second, and arguably more important, thing that suspense does for an already hot romance is that it throws your hero and heroine into some really interesting, often compromising and steamy positions together. It has a way of pushing them into a few juicy moments of forced intimacy where all of their defenses are lowered, their hearts are already racing, and their emotions are running high. Breathing is shallowed, senses are heightened, inhibitions are all but non-existent. Perfect time for sparks (and sometimes clothing) to fly! Like, for instance, when Detective Joshua Pierce takes it upon himself to escort lovely and terrified assault victim Samantha Colby home from a dark and deserted parking lot one night.

Suspense is that thing that makes us feel “on edge.” It builds and builds until we just don't think that we can take it anymore, and then it explodes into technicolor, making us want more and more and more. Sort of like a really hot love scene. Yes, nail-biting, page-turning suspense can add a lot of heat to an already super-hot romance!

Blurb:

Terrorized by the man who is now stalking her, Samantha Colby begins to lean on Detective Joshua Pierce, certain that he would never allow any harm to come to her. And as the couple grow closer, both find it difficult to stop their hearts from falling as Samantha learns more about Joshua's troubled past and the fear he struggles with everyday.

Joshua never figured on falling in love. He's not even sure he knows what those words mean. What he does know is that he feels things for Samantha that he's never felt before, and it scares him. But as her stalker closes in, Joshua discovers that he must begin to trust himself if he wants to keep Samantha in his life. Can he learn this lesson in time to save her?

Destined for Love by Diane Thorne

Three wishes. Two men. One woman and a very happy ending

Valerie is a confident, independent, and cheerful woman with a boyfriend, a great job, and a cosy home. In one day, her life falls into the dumpster. To unwind, she takes a stroll on the beach. She locates a strange looking bottle and removes the cork. When two gorgeous men appear, she thinks she’s died and gone to Heaven.

Cursed to a bottle, Mark and James roam the earth until someone in desperate need of their help releases them. The handsome duo offer Valerie three wishes, but warn her they come with great responsibility. While she ponders over her choices the two hot genies show her love and passion beyond her wildest dreams. She falls in love with them. But do they share the same feelings for her?

Confused, in love, and still needing to put her life back on track, Valerie must decide how to use her remaining wish after she mistakenly uses two. Should she spend the last wish to help herself, or free her two insatiable lovers?

Having lost her job, told that. She had 30 days to find a place to live and her boyfriend calling and dumping her, guess you could say Valerie was having a bad day.  So down with her bad luck she went to the beach to enjoy something she felt sure could not go bad, a walk on the beach and the beauty of the sunset.

A long walk and letting go of her frustration helped a bit, she sees a bottle carelessly thrown on the beach and goes to pick it up to properly throw away when she notices a cork in it.  She pulls the cork and out comes two genies.  Two hunks of pure male perfection.

Mark and James convince Valerie that they mean her no harm and talk her into letting them go home with her to further explain.  She has three wishes coming ..."Do you mind if we both take care of your needs?  James asked" ...

They did take care of her needs starting with a bubble bath and tender loving, cooking forher and all sexual needs.

Three wishes is hard for her because she see possible consequences for each, good and bad.  Oh the choices.

Twenty-one year old receptionist Beatrice Summer has the hots for her new boss, Alexandre Larousse. But Alex seems never to notice her. Bea understands. He’s too handsome, too rich, and a tad too mature for someone like her. But it doesn’t stop Bea from wanting him in secret.

One night, Bea witnesses a man being shot from a bridge. She swims after him and drags him to safety. She is shocked to find the victim is nothing but the boss she’s enamoured with. What makes it even more shocking, the unconscious Alex turns into a lion before her eyes.

Bea doesn’t think shape-shifters are real. Seriously. Werelions? They are nothing but a myth, right? Feeling more curious than a fickle cat, Bea is hell bent on spying Alex—especially when Alex tells her not to. Then, Bea discovers the reason why Mr Hot Boss pretends he never interested in getting into her panties. Bea had never thought playing detective can be so thrilling, sexy…and deadly.
