Tempted to Misbehave

Read for Free on Kindle Unlimited!


THE HIGHLANDER'S IMPROPER WIFE by KyAnn Waters and Tarah Scott 
A proper young lady should never attend a Masque...Aphrodite is no lady. 

Betrothal to the callous Lord Blackhall painted a future devoid of love. Upon his death, Lady Caroline Wilmont is promised to the younger brother. Caroline refuses to allow her first taste of desire to be at the hands of a man who would rather have any woman but her. This, her last night of freedom, is to be a memory of lust that she can take with her throughout her loveless marriage. As Aphrodite, Caroline attends a masque determined to find a man to initiate her into the intimacies of erotic love. 

Taran Robertson, Viscount of Blackhall, makes no secret that he despises his obligation to marry the Sassenach heiress chosen for him by his father. As a last foray before his wedding, he attends a masque. However, the spirited vixen he meets and seduces has secrets...secrets that just may reveal he’s to have an improper wife. 

A MEASURED RISK by Natasha Blackthorne 
He is her most dangerous temptation and now he is demanding her submission. Dare she take the risk? 

Book one in the Regency Risks Series 

Emotionally scarred in the horrific accident that took her husband's life, Lady Cranfield is imprisoned by her lingering terror of horses and carriages. She longed to be closer to the fascinating Earl of Ruel. She sensed intuitively that he could teach her how to overcome the terrors that held her in bondage. 

And now she's willing to risk almost anything-her reputation, even her virtue-to find out. But what he proposes startles her. 

When the shy, studious and socially awkward young widow approached him, Ruel instantly sensed she would be the sweetest, most submissive experience of a lifetime-if only he can gain her total and complete trust. He makes her a non-negotiable offer. His help in return for her submission and obedience. 

But Lady Cranfield grew up neglected by her ducal parents, raised by servants and then later ignored by her handsome, charming husband. She's learnt to protect her heart at all costs and she trusts no one but herself. 

How can the jaded Earl of Ruel break through her self-protective defences and show her how to love when he has spent his lifetime avoiding that tender trap? 

SEDUCED by Tarah Scott 
It’s a Mississippi Deputy Sheriff’s duty to bring a serial killer to justice…even when he’s a three hundred year old Scottish lord. It’s an SAS agent’s duty to save her. 

With each passing day, Lord Colin Morrison grows more furious...and more desperate. In three hundred years, not one of the women who shared his bed broke the spell that imprisoned him in Castle Morrison. Margot Saulnier is different. She can save him. All she has to do is give in to her desire for him. Then die. 

Deputy Sheriff Margot Saulnier knows her best friend murdered her husband—Margot’s cousin—but she can’t prove it. Now, four years later, out of the blue, Cat calls Margot from Scotland and invites her to visit. Margot turns in her badge and leaves Mississippi. This time, she’ll do whatever it takes to prove Cat murdered Donny. Margot didn’t plan on falling in love with an SAS Agent—or a three-hundred-year-old Scottish lord. Now she must choose. 

SAS Agent Charles McNeil is going to keep Margot Saulnier out of trouble—whether she likes it or not. He understands her need for justice, but with no proof and no authority, she’s headed for serious trouble. So is he. Charles didn’t plan on falling in love with Margot. Neither did he plan on saving her from a serial killer.

Lightning Only Strikes Twice .99 cent sale!

Thank You, KyAnn, for sharing your blog and your audience today. I’m excited to be here to post a bit about my time-travel on sale for 0.99 – Lightning Only Strikes Twice.

Why Time-travel?

I typically write romantic suspense/thrillers, but this time-travel story came to me in a dream. Just a germ of an idea about two strangers who travel back in time and fall in love in an era that isn’t their own. It swirled in my head for a couple of years until I had the time-travel mechanism figured out, and a first line. From there, the book just took off. Many who don’t typically read time-travel have indicated they’ve enjoyed this particular story. I hope you will too. For only a few more days, Lightning Only Strikes Twice is available for 0.99.

Lightning Only Strikes Twice:
After her grandfather's death, mounting debts force Annie Crawford to sell her inheritance to uphold her family's honor and avoid bankruptcy. Financial stability comes with an even higher price: her heritage. She must rebuild her legacy from nothing.

Purchasing Annie's property means three things to Luke Maxwell: financial burden on Maxwell Development, opportunity to propel his career to the top by developing the old ghost town, and, ultimately, approval to take over his father's company. All of which take precedence over his attraction to the pretty seller.

While touring the property, Annie and Luke are whisked back in time to the 1891 mining community. Together, they endure antiquated hardships and turn to each other for familiarity. Comfort soon becomes passion. As they face a lifetime in the wrong century, Annie and Luke discover a predestined responsibility to the future. Can the love they've propagated in the past take root in the present?

Thank you for spending a few minutes of your valuable time with me today. For more information about any of my upcoming stories, you can check out the book’s website page here. Or sign up for my newsletter here.

Stormee Waters - A New Release from Lynda J Coker

Today I'm sharing the good news of Lynda's new release, available now at online retailers!

Dirk Savage never fails to acquire what he wants until he encounters Stormee Waters and a backwash of trouble...
Stormee Waters knows about hard times. Needing to care for her aging grandmother and teenage brother, she moves to Houston, Texas and takes a writing job for a popular magazine. Her first assignment is to interview a successful business man for a series of articles entitled, Make My Man Texas-Sized. Her target, Dirk Savage, appears to have the right criteria. He's adventurous with the air of a conqueror. Admired by his peers and coveted by beauty queens and debutantes, he's just the type of man that Stormee needs to make her first article sizzle and sell. But can she handle the heat when she catches his attention?

Dirk Savage is used to acquiring what he wants, except in the illusive quest for the one woman who can fill his heart. The shock of discovering her in the naive young woman assigned to interview him sets his jaded emotions on high alert. Can he convince her that his pursuit is genuine?

Excerpt

Her palm itched to slap his arrogant jaw. But hitting the most unpredictable man she’d ever met, even in a public restaurant, couldn’t be a smart move. She snatched her phone from his hand. “You’re past being impossible! Who do you think you are—my father?” She shook with indignation.

The bit about their age difference came out of nowhere. The tightening of his concrete jaw confirmed she’d hit the retaliation jackpot. She didn’t bother to hide the smugness in her expression or the satisfaction she received when his complexion darkened with indignation.

“If I were your father, Miss Waters, Id march you out to the car and tan your pretty little backside for not knowing what’s good for you.”

“Take me home,” she hissed through tight lips. Executing a dismissive turn, she stalked toward the exit.

 Dirk stepped in stride beside her and placed his hand in the middle of her back. “Exactly what I’d suggest since you have preparations to finish. A car will pick you up at 5:00 a.m. and get you to the airport in time to make a 6:00 a.m. flight.”
She stopped walking and turned to face him. “I can’t make a reservation that fast. I’m sure the earliest will be tomorrow afternoon, or evening.”

“I have a private plane. I can get you to Chicago quicker than a commercial flight.” He gripped her upper arm and urged her toward the exit.

Stormee balked and rolled her eyes. “I don’t care if you have a space shuttle. You’re not taking me to Chicago.”

Annalisa Russo tells us about her "Angels"

Please welcome Annalisa Russo to the blog today. Her new release, An Angel Healed, is available at all online retailers.

Annalisa, do you plot or let the story unfold as you write?
I find using plotting cards to let the story unfold helps when you have to delete or add a scene. In the past I used an outline, but find the cards a great deal more flexible. You never know where your characters will take you!

Do you have trouble saying goodbye to characters?
I fell in love with a character from the first book in the Cavelli Angel Saga, Seth Truitt. He’s twelve in the first book and a “newsie” (a boy who hawks papers in the 1920’s). I couldn’t let gooooo of him, so the series that started out as a trilogy, turned into a Saga where, in the fourth book, Seth returns to Bellaluna, the Cavelli ancestral home as an adult. I don’t know what he’s been up to since he left, but I’m sure he’ll eventually tell me.

What tips would you give a new writer?
Write, write, write! After you send off the query letter, start another book. The first thing an editor will ask if she is interested in your book is “What else do you have for me?”

How did you come up with the title?
The Cavelli Angel Series is based on the love stories of three brothers, Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel Cavelli. Their mother named them after the archangels—and angels they’re not! The titles are An Angel’s Redemption (Michael’s story), An Angel Healed (Raphael’s story), and Angel Lost, Angel Found (Gabriel’s story). I’m writing Gabe’s story as we speak. I hope it will be available in late summer.

I love this! What a great concept.

How much of the book is realistic?
Since I grew up in an overpopulated, second generation, Italian family, the Cavelli Angel Saga books mirror my youthful experiences even though the stories occur in a different time period—the 1920’s. Family values don’t change, sibling loyalties and disagreements remain the same, and the love of parents for their children is timeless.

What are your current projects?
Besides writing the third book in the Cavelli Angel Saga, I’m taking notes for a Christmas story that has been rolling around in my head for a long time. It’s finally coming together, and I’d like to get it down on paper soon.

And now let’s get a little personal…

Who do you see as a hero in your life?
A quiet boy in the sixth grade who was the only one to stand up to the class bully. I’d say all of my heroes have some of the same qualities as that boy.

What did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a teacher. Period. So I became one and then left teaching after a divorce because I couldn’t support my three children on a teacher’s salary. After I had an empty nest, I went back to the profession and taught fifth grade math. Go figure.

What is your favorite drink?
I make pretty good hot chocolate and there is nothing better than the middle of winter in the Midwest, a roaring fire, a good book, and hot chocolate (with a splash of Bailey’s) topped with whipped cream!

Are you fun to go on vacation with?
Yes, I’m flexible, adventurous, and like nothing better than new places. I have a file of torn out magazine articles for when I’m able to indulge myself.

What is your favorite comfort food?
From my childhood: polenta with sausage in tomato sauce and homemade ravioli, And, from my Nonna’s table, the soup of the day that mysteriously has yesterday’s leftover vegetables in it. Cooking is a hobby of mine, and I have a knack for knowing, by reading the recipe, if it will be worth making.
