Cynthia Myers meets Chris Dupree at her former fiance's wedding. After a little dancing, and champagne, she ends up back in Chris's hotel room. For one night of down and dirty sex. That's it, that's all. He lives far away, and she has other things to do...like get a life.

Warning, this book contains: Lots of sex, of course; bondage and submission done in a tasteful but wonderfully arousing way, propositions from a drunken woman, hot phone sex, southern accents, Hawaiian scenery, and OH MY, a m/f/m menage that will send tingles all the way to your toes, along with other various body parts. A glass of ice cold water for refreshment is recommended while reading.

This book also available in ebook format through Samhain Publishing.

Well, you knew it would happen, lol. No, I was invited to join Wicked Writers Yahoo Group. It was a hard decision to make because it meant that I had to shut down my other two loops, which will be happening this weekend. But, it will free up my time to write more but still have fun with readers.

We will be running a contest in the near future with lots of goodies on the loop so why not come on over and join in the fun!

I will apologize for being a little absent for the last week. It was a crazy taking the youngest daughter on a four hour round trip to Walter Reed. Good news, we now have a great doc, and I am confident in his opinion.

NOW, here is the BIG EXCITING NEWS!!!!

Based on my proposal for The Cursed Clan, Melissa Jeglinski, former DESIRE Sr Editor for Harlequin, now of The Knight Agency, is my agent!!! This means I am one step closer to getting Black Diamond published. It also means I am going to be crazy writing between now and the end of November, along with another trip out of state next week.  I will apologize in advance for not having as much time on the blog as I used to, but I will make up for it on the weekends I promise!

 

An Excerpt From: HUNTING MILA

"Listen, guys—and I am using that term loosely—this has been a lot of fun, but, well, I have plans."

"You don't know how to uthe that," George said between gasps.

To prove him wrong, she shot off a round an inch in front of his feet. "I hate to tell both of you, but you picked the wrong heiress to fuck with."

Without another word, she ran to the door, smiling when it opened automatically. They didn't even think to lock the damn door. She leaned her head out of the doorway, looking in both directions. No guard. Stepping out, she faced the room. Harry was trying to stand. George was three feet from where she'd last seen him. The door slid shut behind her and she used the butt of her weapon to smash the instrument panel and jam the door.

She looked one way, then the other. The hall didn't give her any clue to where she was. As she suspected, this looked like a research facility, with bare hallways and next to no sign of people. But the halls were dark, the lighting out in places, so she assumed there was a good chance there wasn't anyone about. Those two probably had no backup at all. Idiots.

She turned to her right, figuring it was as good as the left, and started running. Her captors might be stupid, but it didn't take much to get a jammed door opened. As she turned the corner, she ran into someone large. And fucking hard. She practically bounced off whoever it was.

Fingers wrapped around her upper arm, dark-skinned and, thankfully, human. When she looked up—and it took a long time because he was a tall one—she gulped. Jesus. Long dreadlocks hung about his shoulders. Even in the dimly lit hallway, she could see his strong jaw, full lips, high cheekbones, broad nose and black eyes.

"What the bloody hell are you doing?" he asked, his uppercrust English accent threading his words.

At first she didn't respond. No one talked to Mila that way.

 "What does it look like I'm doing, asshead? I'm trying to get my ass out of here."

His eyes widened, then narrowed, irritation flashing in them. There was something vaguely familiar about them, but she knew she'd have remembered meeting this man.

He took a deep breath before speaking. "Listen, sweetheart, I'm not here by choice. So I'd appreciate it if you would shut the fuck up and just come along with me."

Okay, so I do so many contests I sometimes forget just which ones I am doing but this one is going to be ongoing.
Regular visitors on this blog know that I am writing my first single title I have attempted in about three years, the start of a new series, The Black Diamond. BUT, I need motivation. With the move, the kids home, and all that, it is hard to find time and I sometimes find myself slipping. So, I need some help from you all:)
I am going to check in every week on my word count, and for every 5 K I am giong to draw a name for a book. I have a word counter on the sidebar–which I will be updating later today–and I will updated it through the week. If you would like to win a book from me, you need to email me at MelissaATmelissaschroederDOTnet. Tell me your choice of book and your name. It can be print or digital, but it has to still be in print to be included. That way I can be sure to get the right books and have them on hand:)
You only have to enter once for the duration of the contest.
