Contest? Hmmm… CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
Feb

2012

So to celebrate the fabulous cover and final edits being done on BENEATH THE SKIN – I’ve got a digital ARC and I’d love to give one away to one lucky winner!

Which book are you guys most looking forward to in the next month or so
? Me? The new JD Robb and the new Patricia Briggs!

Pesky detail type thing: Winner will be chosen from replies to this post tomorrow morning (2/14) at 9 am pacific. International entries are, as always, absolutely welcomed. Oh and you need to be over 18 because this one is an erotic romance.


A whole world exists…beneath the skin.

Gibson de La Vega is the Bringer, one of the Alpha’s right-hand cats. It is his job to mete out justice and defend the law that holds their jamboree together.

After a contentious meeting with another jamboree, he’s shot—Mia stumbles onto the scene and saves his life. He’s immediately drawn to the female who dug three silver bullets from his body. Even after he discovers she’s a Porter, a family his own harmed grievously half a century before.

Mia has enough in her life. She’s recovering from a vicious hate crime—an attack using silver has affected her ability to do what she loves most. The last thing she needs is a bossy alpha cat like Gibson. A de La Vega no less.

Despite the myriad reasons to stay away, even as they continue to hunt down the would-be killers, their attraction deepens into something else entirely.

The answers they find bring that threat far closer to home than anyone could have imagined and it’ll be up to Gibson to end the mess once and for all. And up to Mia to stand at his side, even as he risks his life…

    I can’t decide – I’m excited about all three! I can’t wait to read about Charles and Anna, and I’ve been re-reading all the In Death series. And Beneath the Skin sounds very sexy!

    The order is simply by release date!
    Annabel Joseph: Cirque du Minuit
    Maya Banks: Sweet Addiction
    Dane: Captivated (and to alleviate withdrawal symptoms I’ve reread Undercover, Relentless, Insatiable and Mesmerized;-)
    Shayla Black: Mine to Hold
    Banks and Dane: Cherished
    So from the three mentioned above it’s definitely your Captivated!
