Baby, Don’t Lose My Number is now available at Samhain, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Never press the “ignore” button on love…

Fated, Book 2

In these uncertain times, Mia Skinner’s Blackberry is her lifeline to independence…and a twenty-four/seven chain to her overbearing boss. When she loses it on a girls’ night out, it’s a disaster with pink slip written all over it—until she takes a chance and calls her number. And ends up talking to Mr. Sexiest-Voice-Alive.

The moment Jacob Miller lays eyes on the phone’s beautiful owner, a bolt of lust makes him want to make a sexy mess of her tidy outfit and perfectly straight hair. Which is a good sign. It means he’s almost fully recovered from a near-debilitating construction accident. Perhaps a little horizontal healing will get him back on his feet for good.

As their passion burns bright and hot, a funny thing happens. Mia’s ignoring her phone—and Jake’s the one itching to get back to work. But he’s building a plan that’ll let her hang up on her increasingly creepy boss for good. If Mia’s willing to meet him in the middle.

I’m having a contest over at the Smutketeers blog – giving away a copy of Under My Umbrella (first novella in the Fated series) to one lucky commenter! The contest will close Wednesday night so go check it out!

Debut author Vicky Dreiling’s How to Marry a Duke. This book is awesome.

Tristan, the Duke of Shelbourne is a man with a mission: find a wife he can tolerate as long as they both shall live. No love is necessary—nor desired. But how to choose amid a dizzying array of wealthy-yet-witless candidates? Hire London’s infamously prim and proper matchmaker. Then pretend she’s not the most captivating woman he’s ever met . . .

Helping a devilish Duke create a contest to pick his perfect mate is the kind of challenge Tessa Mansfield relishes. Her methods may be scandalous, but she’s determined to find the notorious bachelor more than a wife—she’ll bring him true love. Yet when Tessa watches the women vie for the Duke’s affections, she longs to win his heart herself. And after a stolen kiss confirms Tristan’s desire, Tessa knows she has broken a matchmaker’s number one rule: never fall in love with the groom.

The hero is delicious, the heroine is fun, there are secrets, there are wonderful secondary characters and loads of luscious sexual tension. I devoured it practically in one sitting. LOVED it!

As in…read the various Christmas-themed stories I’ve written throughout the years. Goodness, I’ve written quite a few. I do love Christmas, there is no denying it.

Want to read me for FREE? Then check these titles out!

Waitress Holly Watson wants frequent customer and super hottie Seth Manning for Christmas. Will he make her holiday wishes come true?

Click here to read it for FREE.

Next up is Hot Santa, a sexy (but not erotic) little story I wrote a few years ago.

Click on the cover to start reading!

Megan can’t believe her best friend dragged her to the Ho Ho Hot Santa contest. It’s beyond embarrassing with all of the muscled men flaunting their goods in red velvet shorts and Santa hats. Then Megan spies Drew on stage and thinks he fills out his shorts just fine. He’s gorgeous, he’s sweet – is he the Christmas gift she’s been looking for?

This story ties in with my book Santa Baby so if you want to find out Beverly’s story, it’s available at Cobblestone Press.

You can also check out A Very Sexy Christmas on Amazon (only 99 cents!) and Fairies and Wishes (an oldie but a goodie!).

Just typing that title made me clench up a little inside. Am I ready? I don’t know…the presents are pretty much purchased (with the exception of one gift card which I’m going to order online RIGHT NOW). I need to wrap them though. I should send out Christmas cards but….dude it’s 11 days to Christmas! Okay, I have a few photos to spare of my oldest in his band uniform (he’s on the drumline of his high school band – and he’s awesome) so I think I should send those out to very close family members.

The kids only have four days left of school including today. My daughter has a performance on Thursday. My husband goes out of town for about a week for work but he’ll be home for the holiday. There are cookies to bake…but no Christmas day gathering for me to host so YIPEE!

You MUST go check out the Smutketeers blog today – Larissa Ione is there and giving away a copy of her book Sin Undone! Head over there now!
