BLURB

When dreams haunt you in the most delicious ways and fate pulls you into destiny’s path, what can be done other than to accept and submit to it.

Can Iria truly get what she’s always dreamed of or will it always just remain a memory? Being a rare creature such as her with exceptional beauty and rarity of existence should be enough.  Though, all she wants is her desire, her destiny… To be with a man—one man.

Are these dreams she’s having real? Could she really take on human form and become a Lady to be with the man she craves?

Dezso discovers a magical creature—a being of incredible light and peace. He is drawn to it again and again, and his feelings grow with every encounter. He carries a dark secret that he wishes never existed. The only thing that truly brings light upon his existence is the beauty that warms his heart but seems to only exist in his head—with dreams and visions of a magical woman, full of heartwarming light.

Will he ever know true love and happiness? Will he ever be able to lighten the weight and share his dark secret with another...?

Darkness is growing stronger, weakening the light and killing off what makes the world a beautiful place to live in. Enter a world of fantasy and dreams, passions and temptations. A world where dragons, unicorns, magic and mermaids really do exist. A world where love WILL conquer all!

To be released January 2014.

Thursday Tease with Roxy Wilson

Hello Lovelies,

Today I have a smexy post Christmas treat for you. The awesome Roxy Wilson was nice enough to stop by and drop a quick teaser of her new book, The Right Kind of Love.

I was fortunate enough to meet Roxy earlier this year just after reading her debut novel, He's So Into You. Not only did I like her writing style, but Roxy is a genuinely nice person who is fun to interact with online. 

If you check out the gorgeous book cover to the left you'll see the cover for Roxy's latest book, The Right Kind of Love.

It's no secret that love cover reveals. They're the perfect tease to the beginning of a new story. So often we see couples or nekkidness all over covers that I love to see covers that are both compelling, simple and beautiful all at once.

What are your thoughts? What about covers tantalize and tease you? What draws you in and captures your attention.

THE RIGHT KIND OF LOVE

Available now via Secret Cravings Publishing

And available at Amazon Barnes & Noble and other e-book outlets December 30th

BLURB
New Yorker Sloane Saunders has just about given up on love. She’s thirty-something and very single. A magazine article jolts her from her malaise and motivates her to do something she’s never tried before: online dating, and firstmeet.com is the website of choice.

Attending his brother’s bachelor party was the wake-up call Blake Morrison needed. Memories of a passionate relationship from his past drive him to return to claim his woman. Sloane. Despite the sizzling chemistry between them, it’s not as easy as he thought. With a family crisis and Sloane’s preconceived notions about love and relationships getting in the way, can Blake convince Sloane they have the right kind of love and that a love like theirs can last?

EXCERPT
“Why am I doing this, again?”

Sloane stared at the matchmaking website. Firstmeet.com. It promised to make falling in love easy. Then why was her chest so tight? Why did she feel like Atlas, with the weight of the heavens on her shoulders? Were these signs that her foray into online dating could turn out to be one of the horror stories she’d heard on the news? With her luck she’d end up meeting a catfish who created a false identity and made a complete fool of her. Not in a million years would she have believed she would resort to this.

Do I really need to do this? Is it worth the risk? No. Maybe I shouldn’t bother. I should just be content living alone, and using my Hitachi Magic Wand when I feel the need for some adventure in the bedroom.

“You know what?” Sloane moved the cursor to the Log Out icon. “Maybe this isn’t such a good idea after all.” Just when she was about to click on the icon, Harper’s words came swimming up to the surface of her consciousness—Open yourself up to new possibilities, and maybe, just maybe, you might get your happily-ever-after.

Sloane lifted her eyes toward the ceiling. “Harper, you’re not even here, and you’re messing with my head.” She looked at the monitor and saw she had a million questions to answer before she completed her profile.

She inhaled a deep breath. “Okay, here goes.”

The questionnaire was exasperating. She couldn’t believe it went so far as to ask her to select what she’d do if she won the state lottery. How about all of the above? Sheesh. Sloane used the Eeny meeny miny moe rhyme to choose an answer, since all of the above wasn’t one of the options.

Twenty minutes later, Sloane completed the online form and paid the subscription fee. She took her shower and was just about to wrap the bath towel around her body, when she heard the doorbell. She wasn’t in the mood for visitors. Not when she needed to get ready to head out in a few minutes. The NHL games attracted large crowds, so everyone knew how important it was to arrive there early to get the coveted seats. Whoever was outside continued to press the doorbell, making Sloane more and more irritated by the second.

“Enough already, I’m coming,” Sloane muttered. She dried her skin briskly. Who could possibly be disturbing her peace this early on a Sunday morning? Don’t people understand the concept of weekends? It’s Sunday, for crying out loud. She rushed to her drawer and grabbed some clothing, along with her under-things. It didn’t seem as if Sloane could put her clothes on fast enough for her impatient, unwelcome guest.

By the time Sloane reached the hallway, the shrill sounds of the doorbell seemed to touch the most sensitive part of her nerves. She barely restrained herself from shoving her fist into her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. Sloane opened the door, not too gently. Belatedly, she thought how foolish it was to not check the peephole before opening the door. When she saw the man standing before her, her last-minute fear vanished.

The first thing that caught her attention was the width of his shoulders. It was one of the things about a man’s physique that got her going. Sloane believed only other full-figured women would understand the rare delight she felt in the moment, to be standing next to a man with such broad shoulders. Sloane was sure she would feel protected, and oh-so-delicate, if he wrapped his arms around her. It was a sensation she didn’t often enjoy with the opposite sex. It would feel so good to be an elf, a dainty little thing, needing protection, in his presence. Sloane mentally shook herself out of the fixation on the man’s shoulders, and allowed her eyes to track upwards.

“What the—” Her voice trailed off as she peered into cyan-blue eyes. She felt like her eyes were going to pop out of her head, as she looked into the all-too-familiar crooked, dimpled smile of the man who’d haunted her naughtiest dreams for ages.

“Blake?”

Did you like your tease? Go ahead and show Roxy some love. You can always find her strutting around the web, especially Facebook and Twitter. And don't forget to check out her blog. Ms. Wilson's posts are always so informative.

Winter Book Releases

Good Evening Lovelies,

I love this time of year! There are back to back holidays that just get me in a happy as can be mood. Starting with Halloween I'm usually sporting an annoying grin till New Years. The addition of pumpkin pancakes to the mix a few years ago only added to my overall happiness. However this year there are a few extra bits of awesome that have catapulted my holiday mood to squee-tastic proportions. This afternoon I finalized my book launch schedule for the end of the year!

Although I had originally hoped to have both Acquisition Skills and Cupcakes at Midnight launched in November and January respectively, plans have changed slightly. Those two books have been pushed back to early 2014, and I'll announce the release dates as soon as they're confirmed. However, I'm super happy to announce that starting in December, I will be releasing the first of four (yes FOUR) new books! SQUEEEEEE!

My winter line up is as follows:

Wynter's Fall

December 22nd 2013

Executive Control

December 30th 2013

Wynter's Grace

January 20th 2014

Wynter's End

February 24th 2014

Wynters's Fall, Wynter's Grace and Wynter's Fall are part of my Wynter's Tales trilogy. Each one is a small twist on a some of my favorite fairy tales and rhymes. I'm really excited about this series. Aside from the stories told in each book, I've included a little surprise in each one that has me bouncing off the walls in anticipation. I hope you all like them.

Executive Control, is a sexy contemporary that I promise you, will scorch your e-readers :). There's just something about sassy women and the men who love to chase them that always makes me smile. Executive Control is not a part of my Boardroom Acts series, but if you loved Negotiating Skills and Persuasion Skills, you'll definitely enjoy this read. 

I'll be posting blurbs for each of these releases soon. However, since I have to share at least one thing, here's a sneak peak at the cover for Executive Control.

Talk to you soon,
Laurel

Tuesday Teasing with Iyana Jenna

Hello Lovelies,

It's been a long while since I posted any new books or teases. I'll be remedying that soon. Casual Smex Friday and Foreplay Monday will be back in full force in November. However, until then the lovely Iyana Jenna was nice enough to provide a little Tuesday Teaser.

If you check out the gorgeous book cover to the left you'll see the cover reveal for Iyana's latest book, A Single Black Rose.

I love cover reveals. They're the perfect tease to the beginning of a new story. Let's face it a pretty cover always draws the eye and I love this one! Aside from complementing the title it also sets a tone that I find intriguing and yes, it does have me interested at first glance about the story within. The hot guy brooding also helps :).

What are your thoughts? What about covers tantalize and tease you? What draws you in and captures your attention.

A SINGLE BLACK ROSE

Coming on November 17, 2013, from JMS Books LLC.

Blurb

Actor Sean O'Reilly received a bouquet of roses that at first he thought was sent by his boyfriend, Nate Matthews. Alarm bells rang when Nate said that he hadn't sent them. Sean panicked when he kept receiving flowers over the next days, and what worried him more was that there was always a single black rose in the middle of other colored ones.

Together they tried to find out the meaning of all this. They found no answers. Sean and Nate didn’t realize that a wicked plot against Sean had been set up by an obsessed fan who was helped by a brother who had promised to always take care of him.

Did you like your tease? Go ahead and show Iyana some love. You can find her hopping around the web, trailing smexy prose left and right.
