This is the last book I’ll pimp for at least a few weeks, promise! Obsessed releases officially today. Some of you have already received it thanks to Amazon’s early shipping, but the rest of you should be able to find it in the bookstores now. Not that you’ll find it in the romance section. Look instead for Zane’s display case. I’d love to see a photo or two when you do see it.

This book might not be in the romance section, but don’t be fooled. There’s a strong romantic plot flowing throughout the story. Although the plot centers around Briana’s learning to let go, you won’t see the seeds of romance I plant fully until the end. I hope you enjoy the journey.

I’ll be blogging today at Access Romance. Come keep me company! I’ll be talking about making it as a writer and my new book, Obsessed.

Naughty bits is the first-ever compilation of breath-hitching, leg crossing, pulse-quickening short erotic fiction from the editors of SPICE BRIEFS.

Penned by some of the genre’s best authors, including Megan Hart, Delilah Devlin, Jodi Lynn Copeland, Kimberly Kaye Terry and Sarah McCarty. These fifteen provocative, flirty, haunting—but always arousing—erotic encounters may be brief, but each one is guaranteed to be the naughtiest part of your day.

Harlequin Spice’s first print compilation of their most popular “Briefs” releases today. My own offering is one of the two stories that launched the line, Invite Me In—a sexy little story about a vampire and a succubus, who learn their gifts can help them transcend their own personal boundaries.

Authors featured in the volume include Kimberly Kaye Terry, Megan Hart, Sarah McCarty, Lacy Danes, Eden Bradley, Tracy Wolff and Jodi Lynn Copeland.

Just a little, before I have to go into promo mode again. Now that Texas Men is out, I have to look forward to next week’s two releases. Thanks to those of you who let me know how much you enjoyed TM—you know who you are!

The weather’s been crazy here—in the upper 60’s and raining constantly. The temperature dropped last night, so there goes my hope that the pool will actually heat up enough that I can slip into my wetsuit any time soon.

My life’s been a little crazy. I’m babysitting dogs while my parents are out of town. Could at least one of them have a bladder bigger than a peanut?! Both of them are Yorkies, which I find annoying. You have to remember, I was married to a canine instructor and am used to serious dogs with big barks. I’m not accustomed to watching where I step.

The past couple of months, I was hard at work on several projects—finishing up proposals, plus editing several works that are coming out later this year. This week, I took a breath and entered hibernation mode because I’m between contracts and nothing is pushing me to start on the last little deadlined project. I can’t write without adrenaline kicking my ass.

I had a couple of hopeful messages today. One concerning a publisher I thought might be a closed door. Another from my Dark Realm editor who loved by latest offering. Thank goodness. I was really worried she’d hate my crazy view of Hell. I have some revisions to make to the manuscript, but nothing really significant. Looks like the book’s a go! Woohoo!

Oh yeah, I did have one last contest winner to announce today. The last for the Texas Men countdown. On Sunday, I’ll post the name of Michelle’s winner. The winner of my contest is…Brandy. Brandy wins a $25 gift certificate from Amazon.com. I was going to offer her books, but I think she has just about everything I’ve written. She’ll make good use of the GC, I’m sure! 😉

Welcome to Honkytonk, the hottest town in Texas—thanks to its adventurous women, irresistible men, and sizzling sex…

From Just Erotic Romance Reviews:
Bound and Determined
“…Cody’s playful, teasing ways towards Tara ignites the chemistry between them providing readers with a sensual, erotic and romantic love scenes…Hot, hot and hot!”

Breezy Ridin’
“…Sarah is a spoiled, mischievous, defiant trouble maker… [Joe’s] possessiveness and his need to dominate her attract Sarah and she constantly tries to defy him to get under his skin while enjoying the repercussions. Adding Logan Ross to their sensual chemistry and you get a wicked and kinky kind of sexual battle that will raise any reader’s internal temperature to boiling point…”

Night Watch
“…NIGHT WATCH is an emotional and erotic story that I couldn’t put down. Ms. Devlin has definitely created three very hot stories about three intriguing females who has lassoed themselves three very hot Texas men.”

Last Chance to win! I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely intrigued.

Juliana, newly appointed Queen of the Unblessed, has realized there is a bit more to her position than she first thought. Sure, it has its perks: a sinfully sexy husband who is also a king, growing powers and a magical life that’s never boring, but the drawbacks are considerable. To save her kingdom from war, Juliana accepts assistance from a witch. But when her reality turns upside down, she realizes she’s been betrayed.

For a brief time, Merrick knew happiness, as much happiness as the king of necessary evil could ever feel. Juliana has become the light in his darkness. Though he can never tell his wife he loves her—or risk upsetting the balance of both the mortal and immortal realms—the words are understood between them. Or so he thought. When she falls prey to a wayward spell, becoming encased in stone, he knows he’ll have to risk everything to gain the only thing he truly wants.
