Release date: Feb. 3, 2014
Series: Triple Star Ranch, #1

Blurb: Where there's smoke, there's fire…and passion that won't be denied.

The child of a gypsy and fey, small-town veterinarian Dr. Anastasia Brannon has always hidden her magic for fear of ridicule. A red-hot encounter with the new PI in town makes their attraction impossible to deny. Throwing caution to the wind, she indulges her desires but keeps her secrets close.

A man with a shady past and secrets of his own, Howl Raven uses his feral talents and tracking skills to make a living, doing his best to lay low and hide the curse that haunts him every month. So far, so good…until an uncontrollable shift outside the full moon leaves him the victim of a werewolf hunter.


When she finds the enigmatic investigator wounded in the woods near her cabin during a storm, Ana provides medical care on instinct. She may be the only one who can banish the wolf from Howl’s blood, but at what cost? 


Full-length Excerpt (Steamy)

Stop thinking about sex, Ana. Control yourself.
Howl swallowed the pills with the hot coffee burning a path down his raw throat and hoped it hid his grin.
Arrgh. He probably heard that too.
“Every word. We’ll get to that, hopefully sooner rather than later.”
“You’re evading the question. So, how did you come to be bleeding in my woods not twenty feet from my doorstep?”
“My woods. I’m renting the Parker place, remember? Technically, that makes Parker’s woods, my woods,” he corrected.
She turned her back on him to retrieve something from the cabinet. Had it only been yesterday they had shared lunch in this room? She had been molten in his arms, melting into his kiss. If not for the phone call from Jace, they would have ended up in bed. Maybe on the couch. Against the wall. Now who couldn’t control their thoughts? Where had this distance come from?
“That’s not what I meant and you know it.”
“I know.” He slipped in behind her at the counter. He had questions. She had answers. Howl intended to have them and her. “Why didn’t you call for help?” Howl laughed when he felt her jump mentally. Mind reading was such a trip. He effectively caged her between the counter and his arms. He wanted to kiss her, just there where her neck curved into her shoulder. He nuzzled the spot and traced the tip of his tongue along the exposed skin of her throat.
She tilted her head to give him better access. “The storm knocked down lines everywhere. We’re running off generator power, no phone, and no cell.”
He felt her shiver as her situation started to dawn on her. They were completely alone. Nothing to stop them from acting on this all-consuming lust. No calls from Jace. No neighborly driveby visits from Cade. No work. Just walls, rooms, and plenty of doors with locks.
“I would have driven you to the hospital once the storm let up and you were stable, but you asked me not to. That, and my Jeep was totaled by a tree. Then I found this.” Ana held up the small jar containing the bullet she had removed. “And I knew I couldn’t go to Cade. He wouldn’t understand.”
Howl took the jar. Even through the glass, the metal burned his skin. He tossed it aside. It rolled across the floor into the corner smacking into the baseboard but didn’t break.
“Thank you for that, for protecting me. You know what I am, then.” This time he did kiss her just behind her right ear.
“Yes.”
“And are you afraid of me?” Need beat a rhythm through his blood. Please say no. The hard planes of his body pressed against the silk of her back.
“Should I be?”
“I won’t hurt you.”
“How do you do this to me?”
Howl felt her frustration as she instinctively arched into him.
“What do I do to you?” He flipped open the buttons of her blouse.
“Make me ache for you.”
A feral urge consumed him with her whispered words, something animal, something that couldn’t be controlled. He kissed the nape of her neck, and felt her skin vibrate beneath his lips. He heard her shudder inwardly and beg her body to behave. “Oh, no you don’t. I want you out of control. You should have told me about your magic.” He breathed the word in her ear. She melted underneath his massaging fingers.
“And you could have mentioned you howl at the moon, before I had to use that magic to save your life.”

Villere House: The Virtual Tour


Recommendation from Travis Garvis Graves
"This epic tale spanning past and present will have you on the edge of your seat. Set in a world of Voodoo, spirits, and the historic locale of New Orleans, Villere House is deliciously spooky and romantic."

  ~ Tracey Garvis Graves, author of the New York Times bestseller, On The Island and Covet.


Synopsis:
College senior, Lottie Boyd, expects to drink too much while on spring break in New Orleans. What she doesn't expect is to be haunted. Or fall in love. But that's exactly what happens.
It starts with strange, vivid dreams about a 19th century widow so desperate to save her sick little girl, she's willing to do anything--even if it involves the black magic of Voodoo. It doesn't end there. Voices, ghost sightings, familiarity with things and places she couldn't possibly know. All leading her to the Villere House of Voodoo and the young Creole owner, Xavier Villere.
Xavier is compelled to help and is drawn to Lottie in a way he's never known, but skepticism of his family's century-old link to Voodoo and the occult keep her at arms length. If he can only come to terms with his heritage, he might be able to help solve the mystery of the widow plaguing Lottie's dreams. And maybe even find love in the process.
Note: Villere House is an adult romance and not suitable for readers under 18.


Excerpt#1
Xavier is oh, so, delicious "He immediately pulled her closer, his arm wrapping around the small of her back. His moan of approval was so delicate, so subdued, she couldn't hear it, only feel it as it vibrated her lips."

Sexy as Hell Box Set Bargain




Box set of three complete novels which make up the Sexy as HellTrilogy - The Novice, The Player and The Vixen - and three spin-off short stories, The Mistress, The Star and The Harlequin. 

What's it all about...? 

Sexy as Hell is an erotic trilogy that will submerge you into the black heart of a world of bondage and discipline, Dominance and submission, sadism and masochism. 

Dare to take this twisting journey with Victor and you’ll learn the ropes with him, experience every carnal sensation and fall into a dark and dangerous love that grips like a fist and binds like a collar. 

Get to know Zara, his sultry teacher, and you’ll gasp when she doles out her sinful instructions but then delight in the stunning results she not only demands but achieves. It seems Heaven and Hell are not so far apart when she holds the reins. 

Victor has his layers peeled back, but when he does the same to try to get to his Vixen’s core, a revelation appears. Because Zara is a woman whose vast sexual experience is both her strength and her weakness; she can inflict pain and pleasure, make lusty demands and instruct, but she needs so much more, she needs… 

Yes, the time has come to for her to admit to her needs and confess to the repairing her soul hungers for. A sea of memories, a lifetime of control requires an acknowledgement that will cut through her barriers, and there’s only one man up for the job—her virgin, her student, her newly trained monster, Victor Partridge. 


Please note, in order to enjoy Victor and Zara’s adventures, the trilogy must be read in order and they have been supplied as such within this box set. Also included in this box set are three spin-off stories to satisfy your curiosity about the colourful secondary characters.

Blurb:  Jane Black has written the breakup album of the century, earning her a Grammy, a huge legion of new fans, and the pressure to repeat her success. Sure, the heartbreak from her husband’s unconventional abandonment might have been her inspiration, but it hasn’t done her any favors in the dating department. So when Matthew Harrigan, the toughest music journalist out there, asks for an interview, Jane agrees—as long as her personal life is completely off-limits.

British, gorgeous, and way too tempting, Matthew’s the first guy Jane’s been attracted to since her husband. As she spends more time with him and their relationship heats up, though, so does her writer’s block. How can the queen of the break up pen the perfect follow-up when she’s seriously in love?




Lauren Blakely writes sexy contemporary romance novels with heat,
heart, and humor, and her books have appeared on the New York Times,
USA Today, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and iBooks bestseller lists. Like
the heroine in FAR TOO TEMPTING, she thinks life should be filled with
family, laughter, and the kind of love that love songs promise. Lauren
lives in California with her husband, children, and dogs. She loves
hearing from readers! Her novels include Caught Up In Us, Pretending
He's Mine, Playing With Her Heart, Trophy Husband, and Far Too
Tempting. On November 21, she'll release the edgy new adult novel THE
THRILL OF IT. She also writes for young adults under the name Daisy
Whitney.

Magic and Sex: A Visit With Gianna Simone


Magic and Sex

Those are two things everyone likes, right? But putting them together can be so deliciously decadent, resistance is impossible. Throw in some kink and to me, that's like having your cake and eating it too! There's a reason my tagline is "Magically Kinky!

Anyway, when I set out to write the Bayou Magiste Chronicles, I knew the basic plots, at least for the first two, and I knew I wanted it to be heavily BDSM-themed. I write I like to read, and more than one of my favorite genres came into play – magic, BDSM and romance. In Book 1, Claimed by the Devil, Devlin and Helene share a past that had them on opposing sides – of society, a magical war and certainly wealth. But of course, opposites attract, right? Even if the attraction is kept secret. Fast forward 18 years, and long-buried fantasies once again rise to the fore and voila! Of course, Devlin employs underhanded techniques to lure Helene to his bed, since she would never trust him enough to go with him willingly – at first.



So here I was with these two characters, both magical – of the Magiste culture – and they were about to get down to some kinky play. There are a lot of different ways to play in the BDSM world. I didn't want some of the expected and standard constraints we see in the lifestyle, and books portraying the lifestyle, to come into this too heavily, though. In order for Devlin to make Helene's fantasies come true, he had to break what we usually consider standard protocol. Since these books are fantasy, the boundaries were more flexible. Helene is rendered helpless by Devlin's magic, and he invokes an ancient ritual to claim her as well. He's promised to give her everything she ever dreamed about, and more, but she will need some convincing.

Book 1 is where I introduced the magical sex toys that appear throughout the series. Most everyone knows about cuffs and ropes, nipple clamps, butt plugs and vibrators. There are so many varieties to choose from, for every taste and tolerance level, yet sometimes putting them into play can slow things down, even under the expert use by the people involved who can wield them in various ways to enrich both theirs and their partner's enjoyment during a scene. Still, I wanted more, so let my mind run wild with ways to enhance the toys my characters use.

Cuffs, for example, can be magically programmed for various things. What could be simpler than a whispered word, or short spell to activate the cuffs, therefore immobilizing the wearer in any position the dominant partner prefers? Although in Claimed by the Mage, Aidan Marchand doesn't even have to use cuffs. His magic is so powerful, he can simply will Lily Prentiss into bondage.

I really had fun with the nipple clamps. We have alligator and butterfly clamps, but what about clamps shaped like real animals, or mythical creatures? Aidan uses dragon clamps with Lily, and in Claimed by the Enchanter, Cameron has a set of lions he likes for Regine. Again, a softly-whispered spell can bring them to "life." No batteries required. They usually have teeth though, so look out!

There are other ways I employed magic in these scenes – potions, much like some of the oils we use in our mere mortal lives, are enhanced with spells to make them more potent, or have alternative affects. Making them can be as erotic as using them. Any potions brewed specifically for the couple require not only blood, but sexual fluids as well. Gathering the ingredients is so much fun! lol



I also put one more little item into play, particularly in the first book. Tattoos. Devlin tattoos Helene, with a pair of snakes at her groin. They are a symbol of his possession of her, but there's a bit more to them as well. Since they're applied with magic, Devlin can manipulate them – they move! And considering their position…


I'm getting set to write the next book in the series, and it's going to go back in time a bit. That ancient ritual I mentioned earlier will definitely be part of it. In fact, some of the spells mentioned in the first three books will be seen in use, or being created. And while people used all sorts of sex toys in the past, with magic at my disposal, who knows what could happen?


About the author:



I'm a born and bred Jersey Girl, with Brooklyn roots, though I promise I am nothing like some of those you might see plastered everywhere as if they have any idea what it really means to be from Jersey. :D Getting lost in other worlds and creating fun (or maybe not so fun, from their perspectives) situations for my characters is something I've done since I was very young. I'm a huge fan of villains, or anti-heroes, as I like to call them. Some of the sexiest ones in various fandoms have inspired my books' heroes! I'm a lover of all things Highlander, Harry Potter, Charmed, DragonBall Z (all of which have some of the sexiest anti-heroes!), and, of course, scorching romance fiction.
