Chloe Barnes thought her marriage to a wealthy politician would be the stuff of fairy tales. Instead, he took advantage of her naiveté and used her as a plaything to fulfill his twisted sexual needs. Ten years is enough. She returns to Bellhaven Island to sell the summer cottage she inherited, hoping the money will buy her freedom—and custody of her daughters.
Fisherman Dustin McDougal never forgot the childhood crush he once had on the fairy-like Chloe. The woman she’s become has a haunted look that brings his feelings back, stronger than ever…with a mature edge. Along with all his protective instincts.
Their passion blows stronger than a Maine nor’easter, awakening Chloe to the joy of true love. Yet it may not be strong enough to free her from the past…
Warning: This title contains politicians doing all sorts of nasty things and flashbacks of male domination. It also features hot sex on a boat, hot sex in an attic, hot sex on a work bench…you get the idea. Want to read a very sexy excerpt? Continue Reading…
Welcome blog hoppers! You should have come from Juniper Bell’s blog, and the tour started at Trina M. Lee’s place, so if you’re just stumbling on this post, be sure to start there!
Yeah, I know they don’t have anything to do with the holidays. I was going to add some bows and ribbon, or maybe a Santa hat, but I couldn’t bring myself to cover anything. I like to think of them as Christmas angels.
Also, I’ve just GOT to plug my web designer’s contest. One lucky winner will receive a website design or redesign and a year of hosting! Today’s the last day to enter that contest, so hurry! Run over there and sign up. Quick and easy! HartShine Designs
Then pop back here and leave your comment to be entered in the drawing, where I’m giving away a copy of my romantic suspense Preja Vu. Now…on to the next blog, which is the Silver Expressions blog, affectionately known as the SEx blog, where Liquid Silver authors take turns blogging.

Monday 11/23, Trina M. Lee’s book The Wicked Kiss will be released to the world. I’m posting this now so that just in case you haven’t yet, you have time to read the first in the Alexa O’Brien series Once Bitten.
The Wicked Kiss is not your daughter’s vampire story. These guys don’t live on V-8 and iron supplements. They are monsters. Hence the word “Vampire”. Alexa can hold her own though. See the two men behind Alexa? Shaz is a sweet but alpha werewolf, and Arys is a (not so sweet and) powerful vampire, but he does have a soft spot for Alexa. Even from the cover you can sense the tension between the trio, and with three powerful protagonists, you’ll be wondering, who’s protecting who? Following is a blurb and excerpt straight from the author. The buy link will be active Monday evening. Keep yourselves busy until then by reading Once Bitten. Also, on Monday at 6:30pm EST, I’ll be joining the author in a release day chat. Please stop by and visit!
When two men share the heart of the same woman, it doesn’t take long for the drama to escalate. Alexa O’Brien’s two lovers have been at each other’s throats. The fact that one is her wolf mate and the other a vampire bonded to her by power, only increases the tension. She fears being forced to choose between them, knowing it’s something she cannot do.
Due to the bond she shares with her vampire lover, Arys Knight, Alexa has more power than she knows how to handle. It isn’t long before power hungry creatures are drawn to her, including Arys’ sire, Harley Kayson. Believing he is entitled to her, Harley makes it his personal mission to get a taste of Alexa for himself, whether she likes it or not. If he doesn’t kill her, she just might wish that he had.

Today’s the day! Release day for my contemporary western romance.
Retreat is set in the somewhat fictionalV-Bar guest ranch in the Snowy Range Mountains in southern Wyoming. Andria has returned to the ranch after ten years, not expecting to find Jake still there. It was just a fling a decade ago, surely she can keep her head on straight for a few weeks now.
I’m so excited. Can you tell? And for those of you who know me….no, I haven’t started in on the brandy. Yet. Here’s another peek at the cover. Click for an excerpt.
Préjà Vu
Available from Liquid Silver BooksISBN: 978-1-59578-601-2You know the feeling, something vaguely familiar … but what if it isn’t something you’ve experienced before, but a prelude to an upcoming event?Ryann Phillips has it all together. She’s a successful architect with her own home and true friends. What she also has, are nightly dreams that eventually come true. Little snapshots into the lives of people she doesn’t know. She’s used to them. Attorney Trevor Kearney finds it hard to believe that his current client is the subject of Ryann’s latest vision, that of a violent murder. He reluctantly agrees to help Ryann prevent this one premonition from taking place. What he doesn’t count on is this particular psychic’s ability to make some of his own dreams come true.
Thanks for happy dancing with me on Release Day. I hope that those of you who read Préjà Vu enjoy it! Drop me a line, I’d love to hear from you. But for now, sit with me and toast Ryann and Trevor’s coming out party.
September 28th, 2008 I signed my first contract with Liquid Silver Books. It’s been one hell of a year. I’ve learned so much! I can certainly see my growth from book to book. Each one I write ends up being my favorite, so now I have to say that it’s my favorite “so far”.
Wyoming Solace. My baby. My firstborn. I started writing this story back in 1990. Yeah, I know. I did the math. :p I didn’t write faithfully, or even consistently. My editor at the time Deanna Pryce spent a lot of time with me, and broke me of a lot of bad habits. One of my early issues was the overuse of adverbs. My final editing project was to search for the ending -ly and hack them in half. Some sentences had two and three in there! So I like to describe things, okay!?
One year, and five books. I think that calls for some blackberry brandy.

Blurb:
You can’t get blood from a stone. That’s what Maureen Sullivan’s mother always told her, but now it’s collection time, and bill collectors aren’t after blood; they want money. At this point, she’d do just about anything…for a price. To get her mother out of the red, Maureen packs her tiny nest egg and runs to Las Vegas, hoping for a miracle.
Once in Sin City, Maureen’s Aunt Lottie shows her that the fastest way out of a financial hell doesn’t lie in Maureen’s luck at a blackjack table, but in the auction of a much more controversial commodity: Maureen’s virginity. Vegas is the perfect place to cash in. What they decide to do will not only make headlines in the Nevada city, but around the world.
The last thing Maureen needs right now is to fall for sexy Nicholas Webster, who’s used to getting everything he wants. Because when the time comes, she’d have to betray the man she’s come to love in order to fulfill her contract. Will she be able to sell herself? And at what price?
