RELENTLESSLY BIG CONTEST Day Nine!

Today’s book is one of mine – What Happens in Vegas…After Dark!!

My story in the anthology is a follow up to last year’s Stripped. This one is called Sensual Magic and it’s William’s story.

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.

Today’s Question: What is your favorite song right now?

Winners will be announced tomorrow (April 24) in the evening – I’ll be out and about all day and I want to give folks a chance to enter for a few more hours so I’ll draw when I return to the hotel in the evening! Winners have seven days to claim their prize, after that time, I’ll redraw for a new winner. Good luck

    I first heard this song in one of the “Diamonds are forever” commercials, and it is now being used in a Verizon commercial. I had never heard anything else from this artist, but I LOVE this song.

    It is by Landon PIGG (unfortunate last name don’t you think) and the song is “Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop” (isn’t that a great title).

    You can listen to it for free from a link from his website:

    “Last Train Home” by Ryan Star. I fell in love with it on the soundtrack to PS I Love You — the soundtrack, btw, is the best part of that movie, after Gerry, of course.

    New Rodney Carrington song but for the life of me I can’t think of the name of it. The video is awesome. At the end, you understand the love people have when adopting a child. Have a great day.

    Heh – how horrible is it that the first song that popped into my head was “Love Games” by Lady Gaga? Which is definitely NOT my favorite song right now.

    Um… still the Coffee Shop song by Landon Pigg? Or something by A Fine Frenzy – or Ingrid Michaelson… :X I don’t really have a favorite song right now.
    Also – please don’t enter me in this drawing. I’ve already got a copy.

    My all-time favorite is Alanis Morrissette’s “You Owe Me Nothing In Return.” I call it “Jack’s Song” after my husband, because he loves me in the same way as the song lyrics describe. Beautiful song! Becky
