A Tournament Knight

Today I received my cover for A Tournament Knight, which is a historical that will be published at Liquid Silver Books. I finished the edits for this today as well. So all I need now is a release date. Below is the edited blurb.

Blurb:

To the world, Jacqueline is dead. When her father kills her twin in a joust, she claims her brother’s identity to see revenge. Worried at being discovered and taking tentative steps out into the world again, it never occurs to her that she may meet the one man who can make her wish she was still alive.

Sir Terric Aubrey, a landless knight, works the tournament circuit hoping to make enough money to buy land. He hasn’t thought much beyond his next win. He certainly doesn’t expect to find the woman he wants for his wife facing him across the jousting field.

Longed-For Hunger

I now have the cover for my third Ra’s Chosen book, Longed-For Hunger. This one will be out at Ellora’s Cave on August 20th. So exactly one month away. I’m writing book four right now that I’ve called Embrace the Hunger and is Akori’s book. The blurb for Longed-For Hunger is below.

Blurb

Denger is a hunter, spending his nights on the streets of Phoenix fighting the undead who threaten unknowing humans around them. It’s in his blood. It’s what he knows. But a new knowledge has taken hold. Like other warriors before him, he must hunt for a different kind of prey altogether. His mate. Once he finds her, nothing will keep him from claiming what is his. Nothing but her, that is.

After the death of her husband three years ago, Nyx is content to spend her evenings at home, wrapped up in the vampire romance novels she loves. But when she collides, literally, with a man who could have stepped out of the pages of her books, she begins to think that living her love life through books may not be the way to go. But as with any good story, there’s a plot twist. Once she discovers Denger’s true nature, she must decide if she can risk her heart and live a life where truth is stranger than fiction.

Forever Claimed

I recieved my cover for the second book in my Wolves of East Anglia series, Forever Claimed. This one will be released at Noble Romance Publishing on July 19th. The cover artist did a great job, and even managed to give the hero the tattoo all the warriors have. I’m thinking of starting to write the third book in the next week or so. I’ll post the blurb below. I’m not thrilled with it, but once I go through edits, which should be very soon, it may change.

Blurb:

Out for a walk on her fist evening of her holiday in Norwich, England, Kamryn finds herself literally knocked on her butt by a gorgeous hunk of a man. He is quick to apologize when he helps her to her feet, and holds her hand a little longer than necessary, but he still reluctantly rushes after the man who he had been chasing. Kamryn returns to her hotel, sure she won’t see him again.

Algar quickly takes down the werewolf sired by Fenris the wolf in the hopes to find the woman he’d knocked over. After following her scent, only to come to a dead end at the hotel’s elevator, he plans to return in the morning to wait for her to put in an appearance. When she does, he finds she stirs his wolf as much as she stirs his body. Sure she is the woman meant for him, meant to be forever claimed by an immortal werewolf warrior, he knows he can’t let her go, even if she comes to fear what he is.

Today I received the cover for the second book in my Ra’s Chosen vampire series at Ellora’s Cave. The cover artist, Syneca, got how I pictured the hero in Mate Hunger spot on. Edits are done for this one, so all that is left is for it to be released at the end of June.

Mate Hunger

Blurb:

Set is a warrior chosen by the sun god Ra to protect mortals from the undead who hunt them. That is what he knows. Unfortunately, having watched his leader, a fellow warrior, succumb to a destined mate, Set also knows he will someday suffer the same fate. Set doesn’t need, nor want, a mate. He’s just fine on his own, thank you very much. But when a spitfire of a woman is thrust into his life whose sole mission seems to be to knee him in the groin and escape every chance she gets, he’s intrigued. A lot.

Desiree may have lusted after Set from afar for months, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to go willingly with the behemoth of a man spouting a whole bunch of garbage about immortality, an ancient Egyptian god and her destiny as his mate. No doubt he’s two bricks short of a load. But when they touch, passion like she’s never known consumes her. Perhaps he’s not so crazy after all…

Jager's Mate

This is the second cover I received from Liquid Silver Books this week. April Martinez, the art director, is on a roll. This is for the second book in my Roxie’s Protectors werewolf series called Jager’s Mate. This book should be out in June sometime. I’ll post the blurb below.

Blurb:

Daylen is a cop, and a good one. When she discovers two men sword fighting in an alley during one of her nightly patrols, she confronts them, ordering them to put down their weapons. One of the men takes off running, surprising her with his speed. With one man left, she knows she’ll have to take him down when he ignores her demands. With her suspect in her grasp, her world turns upside down when he pins her to the ground and kisses her senseless.

Jager knows no wilting flower, werewolf or mortal, would ever survive as his mate, but this cop has all the right moves. Her scent leaves no doubt this mortal woman is his, and after tasting her lips, he knows claiming her will be a challenge. The bigger problem, however, might be her obsession to arrest him whenever they meet. As their passion flares, he’ll do anything it takes to make her his mate.

The Wolf in the Woods

Another new cover for one of my books coming out at Liquid Silver Books. This one is for the one I wrote for their Holiday 2010 series for Canada Day. Since Canada is July 1st, I figure this one will be released sometime in June. I’ve already finished the edits on it. Blurb is below. You can read the excerpt for The Wolf in the Woods HERE.

Blurb:

Lost in the woods when on a Canada Day camping trip with her grandmother at Algonquin Park, Red finds herself chased by a large male wolf. Shocked when the wolf shape-shifts into a gorgeous man, she is unable to tell him no when he takes her into his arms and kisses her senseless.

Rutgar knew Red was his mate from the first whiff of her scent. Out on his daily evening run through the woods in his wolf form, he can’t resist the pull she has over him. The mating urge rides him to claim her as his mate.

Not pleased to find herself bound to Rutgar without her consent, Red soon learns another werewolf forms a greater danger than an unexpected mating ever could.

Love's Nest Today was a good day for me. Besides having a book released, I received a new cover and a contract offer. The cover is for my second Strange Hollow book, Love’s Nest, that will be coming out at Liquid Silver Books at the end of April. That will make the fourth book I’ll have released this month. The blurb is below.

Blurb:

Lilin, the owner of Love’s Nest a B & B in Strange Hollow, always knew her mate would be a werewolf. As a succubus who had been born beautiful instead of ugly, and her refusing to seduce men to steal their energy, she was disowned by her family. When a new werewolf comes to town, she knows he is the one for her. Even though he displays all the signs of his mating urge kicking in when around her, he refuses to take claim her as his. Not willing to let him get away, Lilin has a few tricks up her sleeve to get him to change his mind.

Galen had come to Strange Hollow to start out fresh. His nose as been the bane of his existence. Whenever he meets a woman he is attracted to, his nose tells him she is the one meant for him. Only after he has slept with her does he find out she isn’t. Not wanting to take a chance that she isn’t his mate, Galen had made it a practice to seduce every woman that set off his mating urge. Of course it caused more problems than not with the rest of the male werewolves in his pack. Deciding to go lone wolf to get away from his problems, Galen tries to fight his mating urge when he meets Lilin. Knowing she isn’t really his mate he tries to resist her. But the question is how long can he stay strong when the woman he wishes was his does everything she can to get him into bed?

The new contract is from Ellora’s Cave for the second book in my vampire Ra’s Chosen series. The first book, Soul Hunger, is going to be released on May 28th. The second book, for now, is called Mate Hunger. That may change. This is my 6th contract for EC. I don’t have a blurb written for it yet, but I’ll post one soon.

Mate for a King I received the final cover for Book One in my Wolves of East Anglia series called Mated for a King. It will also be coming out at Noble Romance Publishing on April 5th. Only two more days to wait. I’m writing the second book in this series right now and should finish it in the next couple of weeks.

Here is the blurb for Mate to a King. If you want to read an excerpt you can find it HERE.

Lexi Weller’s vacation in England didn’t exactly start off with a bang when she almost ends up getting into a car accident. But when the other driver that she almost hit gets out of his car, she finds herself practically drooling over him. Tall, muscular and good looking, Lexi can’t believe he actually asks her out on a date before they part ways.

Raed finds he is unable to resist the American woman who had almost hit his car and asks her out on a date before he realizes it. Being a werewolf, as well as an immortal warrior, he hopes he hasn’t made a mistake. Charged by the Anglo-Saxon god, Tiw, to protect mortals from the werewolves sired by Fenris the wolf, Raed knows he can’t put Lexi before his duty. But when Lexi becomes to mean more to him than he ever imagined, Raed must find a way to explain what he is without scaring off the woman he never wants to let go.

The Goddess' Girdle His Sea Goddess I now have my covers for the last two shorts in my Goddess Revealed series that is coming out at Ellora’s Cave. I should be starting edits for the second one, Love’s Fiery Arrow, very soon. And hopefully I’ll get the edits for these last two shortly after that. I still have one more cover coming to me from Ellora’s Cave for the first book in my new vampire series called Ra’s Chosen-Soul Hunger.

Jinx and Her Werewolf I have my cover now for my first Strange Hollow book, Jinx and Her Werewolf, that will be coming out at Liquid Silver Books sometime this February. April, the art director, did an awesome job on it as usual. I can’t wait to see what she does for my second Strange Hollow book that will be coming out sometime this May. For those of you that would like to read more about Jinx and Her Werewolf, I have the entire first chapter posted on my website on my excerpts page.
