What Happens In Vegas…After Dark is now available from Harlequin Spice!

My story is Sensual Magic and it’s William Emery’s story (you met him in last year’s Stripped)

Two years ago, William Emery believed in love. Deciding to make his permanent home in Boston and start a nightclub there, he was locking down funding and approving the font on wedding invitations.
Until he found out his fiancée was little more than a faithless gold digger.

Emotionally devastated, he moved to Las Vegas where his younger brother lived and began work to create the kind of club he’d always wanted to run. And to drown the memories of his idealism in a sea of female flesh. If you didn’t involve your heart, it never got broken.

Nell Hunter is a witch on the trail of a human who’s stolen from her people. This human is working with a group of mages stealing money and power from the clans and cabals, relying on the need for secrecy to keep their victims quiet and from going to the police. But they hadn’t banked on Nell.
She’s a bonded hunter to the court of the Owen clan.

In Vegas, Nell seeks William out, his ex-fiance is the woman she’s looking for. The sparks between them fly immediately and while Nell knows they’re meant to be, William has a harder time with it. They come together as bullets and magic fly – nothing worth having is ever easy

Because I had so many wonderful books to give as prizes, I’m gong to start on April 15th (tax day to us Americans) instead of the 20th.

Each day will feature a book that will be the prize awarded the following day. A question will be posed at the end of the post, nothing you have to study for or anything. I’ll choose a winner at random from the comments and announce it here at noon pacific the following day. Winners will have seven days to claim their prize or I will re-draw.

Authors who’ve been fabulous enough to donate books are:
Anya Bast
Jaci Burton
Maya Banks (Twice!)
Mandy Roth
Megan Hart
Beth Kery
Michelle Pillow
Cynthia Eden
Vivi Anna
Elisabeth Naughton
Ann Aguirre
Beth Williamson
Just added: Sasha White (Twice!)

And some Lauren Dane books tossed in too. It’s going to be a whole lot of fun so check in at my blog daily.

At the very end, I will put all the comments for the entire contest in the hopper and choose a grand prize winner and two first prize winners from those names. Grand prize: A Lauren Dane tote bag with a copy of RELENTLESS, a copy of WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS…AFTER DARK, a tee shirt, a $50 dollar gift certificate to Barnes and Noble and other assorted swag. Two first prize winners will receive copies of Relentless

Good luck everyone!

ALWAYS is now available in digital format from Samhain Publishing!

Sometimes you have to go more than halfway to meet in the middle.

Caitlin Moore has every reason to celebrate. She’s through with law-school finals, and out for some post-semester fun when she runs smack dab into Eamon Blake, the Irishman with whom she had a summer fling years ago. Time hasn’t dimmed their lingering friendship—or their sexual chemistry.

Eamon isn’t looking for love when he bumps into Cat while he’s in Seattle on a job. Yet over the next year, he finds himself involved in a rekindled long-distance romance that moves from casual to a lot more.

That’s the rub. Cat is determined not to repeat her past mistakes with men and give up the dream job for which she’s worked so hard. Independence is something she’s spent years achieving. Eamon can start over so much easier than she can—why shouldn’t he make the sacrifice this time?

But Eamon doesn’t much relish leaving the life he’s been building in Los Angeles—and he really doesn’t like ultimatums. At an impasse, goodbye seems the only direction to go. Ending it is the right thing to do…or the biggest mistake they ever made.
