Cover Reveal: Uncommon Pleasure!

 

There's nothing more exciting than the unexpected...

I think that cover speaks for itself. ;) Visit the book page for more details, including blurb and preorder links!

Cover Reveal for Breath on Embers!

The art designers over at Carina Press did a lovely job with the cover for my story in the Red Hot Holiday erotic romance anthology, which releases December 3, 2012:

 

Le blurb:

Christmas is the perfect time for Firefighter Ronan O’Rourke to take things to the next level with his sexually adventurous girlfriend. He knows she has feelings for him—and he’s sure of his feelings for her—but when Thea refuses his invitation to sample Christmas in New York City because what they share is nothing more than sheet-burning sex, Ronan sets out to change her mind.

Deep down Thea Moretti knows she cares for Ronan, but she can’t move past her grief over her late husband. Loud music and sex with Ronan are the only things she’s got that her feel alive, so she takes as much of both as she can get. She knows Ronan wants more, but during the darkest time of the year finding her way won’t be easy.

Ronan gambles everything and challenges Thea: one night of passion with him and another man. Can he prove to her that what they share isn’t just great sex but an emotional connection strong enough to last forever?

Here’s the cover for the anthology, also featuring KA Mitchell and Leah Braemel.

This anthology will be the perfect antidote to cold, dark winter nights…a little BDSM, a firefighter, a Mountie, Christmas cookies, holiday sights and lights…start counting the days!

12 Shades of Surrender: Bound now available in the UK!

 

A collection of BDSM-themed short stories from Megan Hart, Saskia Walker, Eden Bradley, Alison Tyler, Emilia Elmwood, and me is now available in the UK. Again, no plans that I know of to make this paperback available in the US. Stay tuned!

Coming Soon! 12 Shades of Surrender Vol 2
