Six Kisses

I posted this little graphic on Facebook a while ago, but I didn’t spend too much time talking about why these are some of my favorite book kisses. So, let’s go!

  1. Hope Reclaimed (with Keira Blackwood). I love the first kissing scene where Aidan kisses Hope in the hallway. He’s so bossy and so in tune with her secret desires. Soooo hot.
  2. Blood Bounty. There is not a lot of kissing in this book, but the kissing that there is means a LOT to me (and to Gracie, the heroine). I don’t want to say anything else about this one, except it’s really quite sweet–rather different from the steamy RH mentioned above. 😉
  3. The Rose King. This is a friends-to-lovers romance, and their first kiss is a delectable mixture of sweet and steamy. Rex has been out of Gemma’s life for years, and they’ve both been pining for each other. She’s so angry with him, she doesn’t want to admit it, but he’s just feeling this total yearning for her, and…ahhhhh. I love it.
  4. Filthy Alpha. I cackled while writing Jase and Blythe’s first kiss! They’re doing it because they’re trying to have a fake relationship in the Junkyard, so everyone’s watching to “test” them on their relationship.
  5. Savage Redemption (old cover!). I love that their kiss starts with a massage, because I am a sucker for a back rub. There was some definite slow burn in this story, but I felt like the build-up was really worth it.
  6. Song of Blood (with Skye MacKinnon). Ahhh, when Lysander and Avery kiss outside the pub, she’s trying to calm him down after he goes all bitey-vampirey bloodlust after a big fight. She uses her budding siren skills to chill him out, and then…kissy times ensue…and it is glorious. I loved working on that scene!

There are so many more I’m thinking about now! I mean, I write kissing books, so it was really hard to only pick six kisses! I’ll have to do another post at a later date with other kisses that make my heart happy. ❤

Announcing a Fun New Anthology

One day, I was innocently scrolling around Facebook, minding my own (and everyone else’s) business, when my friend Skye MacKinnon tagged me with this:

Like…what?

It turns out, Skye had found some funny food-related stock images, and she went on a tear, making covers and putting her friends’ names on them. I lucked out to get celery. 😉 And without much time passing at all, we had an anthology in the works!

This is one of those projects that you really cannot plan because they take on an energy of their own.

Because we’re all just having fun, we decided to make this a charity anthology, with all royalties going to The Hunger Project. All of the stories are romance. Some are hilariously funny! Mine fits in with my Fierce Mates world, with some suspense, a little comic relief, and steamy sexytimes.

They tell you not to play with your food…

Eat Your Heart Out, brought to you by New York Times, USA Today, and International Bestselling Authors, is a food-inspired romance anthology with all the proceeds being donated to The Hunger Project.

Roll up your sleeves, grab your forks and knives, and feast on this eclectic collection of 20 fun short story romances. From paranormal, to sci-fi, to contemporary, there’s something tasty for everyone!

This Fierce Mates Series Got New Covers

New covers, and a new name! Formerly the Fierce Mates: Corona Pride series, this is now the Fierce Mates: Cougar Pride series. Because 2020, y’all. I named the series originally because “corona” means “crown” in Spanish, and I thought it would be the perfect name for a majestic, fictional mountain range where this group of fierce mountain lion shifters resides. Well, 2020 changed the flavor of “corona” for almost everyone. So, I set out to rename it with the input of the fantastic folks who subscribe to my newsletter, and Keira Blackwood made me new covers for the whole series, as well! However, the name of the actual pride within the books is still “Corona Pride,” because that’s who they originally were, and I don’t want to let some virus dictate everything about our fierce mates!

CP new covers

To celebrate, I’ve made the first book, Savage Yearning, free! Tap the cover to go!
