Secret Desire

​When Jake Munroe moves into his new apartment he has no idea the woman of his dreams is literally right next door. She’s beautiful, sexy, and frustratingly elusive. Finding the right time to make his move seems like it will never come, until she walks through the doors of his nightclub.
Sally isn’t looking for a new relationship but when Jake appears in her life, she grabs the opportunity to partake in some sexual healing. Her ex-husband left her convinced she could never sexually excite or satisfy a man, but those rule don’t seem to apply to Jake. He wants her—at least for now.
Jake’s desire for Sally is unequaled to anything he’s experienced before. He wants her in his life and is determined to have her, no matter what it takes. When he thinks he’s finally made Sally his own, he discovers a horrible truth. Sally has kept their relationship hidden from everyone she knows and Jake refuses to be anyone’s secret plaything.

Resisting Love

Kenzie Stuart is an artist who’s finally started to achieve her dream—success. She doesn’t need anything to interfere with that, especially a relationship. Her number one rule when it comes to men is, love them and leave them, without getting emotionally involved. This worked perfectly until she met Justin Davies. When Kenzie realized she cared for Justin, her only option was to leave but she didn’t merely walk away from the man she loved. Kenzie ran like the wind, determined to never look back.
Justin Davies waited until he thought Kenzie Stuart was ready to accept his affection. He believed he did everything required in order to win her heart, but Kenzie still ran, leaving him high and dry to nurse his wounded heart. Despite everything, he wants her back and this time Justin has thrown the rule book out the window. He’ll recapture Kenzie anyway he can. By fair means or foul he’s determined to break down her resistance to love.  

Christmas Treat Giveaway Hop #ChristmasTreats

What are our favorite Christmas Treats? Books, of course! 

Stop by each blog for a chance to win fabulous books & gifties for the Holidays!

It's nearly that time of year again. The jolly fat man will be here soon, calling everyone Ho, Ho, Ho's and entering houses without chimney's by osmosis. It's also time to give away stuff on the blog as part of the Christmas Treat Giveaway Hop. 

More about the giveaway later, or at the end of the blog, actually. :)

So, as part of the hop, we've been asked to talk about the books we'd like to get for Christmas or the series/author who's our favorite treat to read. 

For me they are the same thing. I love reading paranormal romance, because I can escape to a world I wish was true. Vampires, Lycan and Shifters, oh my!

My fav authors in the genre are the usual suspects. J.R. Ward and her Black Dagger Brotherhood, Gena Showalter and her Lords of the Underworld, Kresley Cole and her Immortals after Dark and lastly, but in no ways least, Christine Feehan and her Dark (Carpathian) Series. 

I still have books to read on both kindle and in paperback from all the above authors. So instead of getting more books for Christmas, I've decided I'd like more TIME (please, Santa) to read the books I have waiting on my list. If I get that, then the only choice I'll have to make will be which one do I start with. 

What about you? Would you like more books (and which ones would you like) or more time to read the ones you already have?

Giveaway:

So, here's the giveaway. Sign up to my mailing list (the form is on the top right of the blog page) and go in the draw for a copy of Secret Desire. The first book in my Hot in the City, contemporary romance, series.  If you are already on the mailing list, don't panic,  you're automatically included in the draw. The winner will be drawn Christmas day. Good Luck everyone and don't forget to visit the other blogs for more great prizes.

Hot Hunks Down Under

Nights in the city can be lonely if you don't havea hunky Aussie male by your side.

As some of you know my new book, Secret Desire is part of my Hot in the City series. An Aussie based series of contemporary erotic romance books.
The romances all centre around some hot and hunky, Aussie males.
Today I thought I'd share some of the men who have inspired my heroes, and yes, they are all Australian.

I'm on pinterest and one of my boards is Hunks Down Under. This is where I collect pics of Hot Aussie men good enough to drool over. They are a mixture of Australian men of all ages and from different careers. Actors, musicians, models and sporting personalities make up most of the pictures and even though my heroes aren't based on any particular one, they all serve as inspiration.

Here's a little taste of what I gaze upon to get the imagination flowing.

Jon Stevens, singer. Jon used to be lead singer of a bands called Noiseworks when I was in my twenties, he was a honey then and has aged incredibly, keeping his good looks and sex appeal.

Sonny Bill Williams, Rugby League player. The sportsmen are warriors, playing a football game each week over the winter season, these guys go into a physical battle that keeps Aussies on the edge of their seats. Sonny Bill is one of the current rugby league legends.

Ryan Kwanten, actor. You might recognise him as Jason from True Blood, and yep, he's an Aussie.

We breed our guys well down here and inspiration definitely abounds when I'm creating a character for my series. If you'd like to check out the other men in my Hunks Down Under Board check out my Pinterest profile so you can be inspired as well.

Excerpt

Something icy cold pressed against Sally’s arm and she felt another chill run through her. She raised her head and stared at the large glass of water in front of her.

“You’re probably dehydrated. You hardly stopped dancing all night.” The deep, smooth voice washed over her, causing her body to begin to heat once more.

Sally turned her head toward the warmth and when she finally managed to focus her eyes, she wanted to moan in ecstasy. If there really was a God then he had truly out done himself. The man smiling down at her was perfection. He sat on the bar stool next to her, leaning against the wall. His hair was dark, almost black and hung just below his broad shoulders in long tantalizing waves. It sat brushed back from his face at the front, except for one stray curly strand that had worked its way loose to kiss up against his cheekbone.

His eyes were dark like his hair and conveyed the same warmth as his voice. His lips were thick and lush, ideal for kissing. As her gaze roamed down his body, she was taken by the hard chest and abs that were defined under his tight T-shirt, his legs were a lengthy example of perfection, muscular thighs under dark denim, and a bulge—Sally snapped her eyes back to his face and hoped she wasn’t blushing.

“Drink.” He leaned forward and spoke softly into her ear.

Oh, how could a man smell so divine? She had never smelt a man like him before. Sally’s pussy started to tingle, as he watched her bring the glass to her lips, and take a refreshing drink. She inhaled deeply. Accents of cinnamon and spice tantalized her nostrils. Talk about olfactory heaven.

“I just thought I’d sit here while I waited for my friends.” Sally had no idea why she felt the need to explain her presence to him and couldn’t understand why he looked at her with a wry smile as she spoke.

“I think they’ve left.” He gestured toward the dance floor.

“Oh God, I fell asleep didn’t I?” Sally was horrified once she realized the house lights were on and the dance floor empty. In fact the whole club was empty except for a few bar staff who were cleaning up.

“We cleared everyone out and closed the club about forty minutes ago.” He was smiling at her as he spoke. “You looked so peaceful I thought I’d let you sleep until I was ready to leave.”

Sally gasped when his body brushed against hers as he bent forward, a blaze of heat stroking her body where he touched. She noticed how his gaze roamed along her stockinged legs as he bent to pick up her shoes. As he returned to an upright position, his lips brushed against her leg and he planted a kiss on the lace that sat mid-thigh. She wanted to move, to push her wayward hemline back in place. Instead she just stared at the heated point where his lips had been, feeling the warmth spread upward toward her quickly moistening pussy.

“Nice stockings.” He stated as he took her hand and assisted her in stepping down from the stool. Sally wasn’t sure how she did it, but she managed to pull the hem of her dress back into position as he led her through a door and down a hallway to the club’s back entrance.

About the Author

Writing a bio that lets readers know who you are is tricky at times because I describe myself in so many ways. Like my books, I fall into different genres, all of which depend on my mood and inspiration at the time. I am a writer, a submissive, an orphan, a widow, a sister, an aunt, a friend, and sometimes, a wild child.

I live in Australia and writing is my passion, although finding the time to do it on a consistent basis is always a challenge for me. Life sends you curve balls when least expected them and I’ve had my fair share over the last few of years.

My writing currently falls under a variety of genres including BDSM, contemporary romance, and romantic suspense but who knows where my literary future will lead. That’s going to be the next exciting chapter of my life.

More information about what I’m up to, and general nonsense, is available by checking out my online hangouts.

Reinventing Desire

For those of you who haven't caught up with what's happening in my life, I have a new release that came out on the September thirty. The book is called Secret Desire and although I call it a new book, that's not completely true.

Back in 2012 I wrote a series of novellas (The Sydney Cougar Series) that were part of my learning journey into the world of publishing. All of the novellas were well received by both reviewers and readers. The third novella even received a 4.5 star review in RT magazine. However, one thing became evident when listening to feedback I received. Everyone wanted more. 

Not more novellas, but more of the story. They loved the characters but needed to know a little extra about them, their motives and their backstory. As the novellas were under contract I had little choice but to wait to make changes to the stories.

Last year I received the rights back from my publisher and immediately knew what I had to do. Rewrite the series. Make them books with more depth, in relation to both the characters and the storyline. I started planning, looking at the novellas and plotting how to rework each one. The result is my new Hot in the City Series.

Each story is set in Sydney, Australia. The characters are involved in the nightlife of the area, the culture of the city and have lifestyles reflective of any major city in the world, but with a unique Aussie twist. 

Each story is erotic, the sex is hot and heavy and the issues the character face within the books reflects aspects of everyday life that we all face. 

I desperately wanted to call the series Sex in the City, but clearly that wasn't feasible for all sorts of reasons. Still it didn't stop me from writing sexy Aussie hunks determined to win the strong women who have caught their attention and hearts.

The first book is Secret Desire. as I said it released on September 30th and is available from online ebook retailers like Amazon, Smashwords and Barnes and Noble. Links are listed below. To have a sneak peek at the book read on. ☺
