Lauren Dane

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.

Taking Care Of Business and Cascadia Wolves: Standoff are both now available in trade paperback!

Megan Hart and I are running a very big TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS contest! Head over to the BRING ME MY HOOKAH blog to see details.

I’ve updated the RELENTLESS and SENSUAL MAGIC pages with excerpts, book videos and new reviews.

Got final pass pages for Laid Bare today! It seems like I just finished the book yesterday. I’m beyond thrilled with the overall book design. As with Undercover and Relentless, Berkley has gone all out to create a package that’s visually arresting. I love that.

I’ve put some new reviews up on the Taking Care of Business page along with others for Standoff and Wolf Unbound. I’ve also put up excerpts for Sensual Magic and Always up at my blog.

I finished up Coming Undone, the follow up to Laid Bare and I hope to hear back from my editor that she liked it! Now I’m finishing up the last ten or so pages in No Reservations, which is due April 1.

After that, it’s all prep for Romantic Times Booklovers Convention next month in Orlando. If you’re in the area or you’re planning to attend, please come to our reader party on Friday at 10 am. It’s going to be fabulous and we’ll have plenty of great swag for all attendees!

Cascadia Wolves: Wolf Unbound is now available in trade paperback!

Blurb: Werewolf Enforcer Tegan Warden has been alone since the death of her mate four years ago. Until she meets Ben Stoner at a local club and she feels something she thought died inside her. Things move very quickly and she finds herself mated to a human man who’s not altogether sure he wants a forever kind of love with a woman he’s just met.

Ben realizes in short order Tegan is not only worth forever love, but a woman who’ll stand at his side without tolerating anything other than a full partnership.

In the bedroom it’s another story, as Ben has finally found a sexual submissive with a spark, and Tegan a man worthy of her submission. Together they work toward building a permanent relationship even as the specter of danger from the Pellini Group grows in the world of wolves.

All around them, the rising violence threatens the Packs and the only thing they know for certain is one another.

Available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, MBAM and your local bookseller!

SWEET CHARITY is now available from Samhain Publishing!

This is a follow up to last year’s To Do List and it’s Gabriel’s story, Rafe’s brother.

Blurb: A bad boy is about to find out just how naughty a good girl can be.

After eight long years of pretending a horrible one-night stand hadn’t happened and wondering if it had been her fault, Charity Harris has finally coaxed handsome bad boy and lifelong friend, Gabriel Bettencourt, back into her bed. It’s not just good, it’s fanfreakingtastic! Trouble is, he’s persisting with his story about not wanting a relationship and not being good enough for her even as their friendship blooms into something looking a lot like love.

Gabriel has ached to make Charity his for years, and finally having her in his bed, not just enduring but enjoying his darker urges is more than he’d ever imagined it could be. Despite what she says, he knows she deserves candlelight and roses, not candle wax and ropes. He’ll enjoy her while he can and let go when she finds the right man.

Charity knows Gabriel’s game and she’s not having any of it. A man can like it rough in bed and still be good and kind. He’s exactly the kind of man she wants to marry and she will. She loves him and she knows he loves her and she’s not taking no for an answer.

So when he runs off “to think” just after Christmas, it’s up to her to let him know that good girls can like it dark and rough and bad boys can be good men.

Undercover is now available through online retail outlets like Amazon and Barnes and Noble as well as in your local bookstore! For those of you who prefer electronic books, Undercover is also available for your Kindle and other ebook readers (Amazon and via the Sony Store too)

I’ve added several recent reviews to the Undercover page as well as several buylinks!

In other news, I’ve recently contracted Trinity, Jack Meyers’ story – you met him in my Cascadia Wolves series. This one will be out in November of 09 and will be a menage. More as I get a blurb, etc.
