#Rafflecopter - Spotlight on #KaliArgent Timeless Coming January 28th!

Travel with me to the Planet Nekron in the year 2984 to the mountain compound of Pandora, where the most dangerous artifacts from around the universe are kept under constant guard. Some, you may not recognize. Some, you will, but each relic holds a different power, a different mystery, and a new chance for love.

TIMELESS

Coming January 28th! Pre-Order your copy of Timeless from:

AMAZON | ARe

Deep within the fortress of Pandora, Lieutenant Vane Schiva has spent millennium guarding precious artifacts and ancient secrets from around the universe. As the son of a decorated commander, he has always been a soldier first, putting the needs of his people before his own desires. So when the compound is breached and he’s sent across the galaxies to track down the thief, he never imagined the assignment would lead him to the only thing he’s ever wanted for himself.

Growing up in New Orleans, Charlotte Rousseau has seen her share of the strange and unexplainable, but everything she thought she knew about the world is about to be tested. What started as any other day, quickly spirals into a nightmarish reality, leaving her no choice but to place her trust—and her life—in a stranger’s hands. Safety comes at a price, though, and Charlotte soon realizes her only chance at survival means leaving behind her fears and following Vane into the fire.

Faced with the threat of war, new alliances are formed and old loyalties are tested in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. While emotions run high and sexual tensions simmer, Vane still guards a dangerous secret, one that could cost him everything in the end. He’ll do whatever it takes to protect Charlotte, though, even if that means turning his back on his own people.

War is easy. Love takes courage.

STORY EXCERPT

Charli twisted to the left, casting a sideways glance toward the shops beyond the Square. “So, I think I’m—Jesus Christ!”

Standing only inches away with the streetlamps at his back, Don towered above her like a giant shadow. The skin on his face and neck rippled—clearly a trick of the dim light—and she could practically feel the annoyance flowing off him.

 “Stop talking and follow me,” he demanded, a low snarl distorting the last word.

“How did you do that? You were there.” She pointed to the cathedral doorway. “Now, you’re here.” Her heart pounded up into her throat, and her hands shook as she stumbled away from him.

With a growl that sounded more animal than man, Don grabbed her elbow and jerked her against his broad chest. “Remember the part where I didn’t want to hurt you?”

Swallowing hard enough to make her throat burn, Charli pressed her lips together and nodded. No matter what she did now, this wouldn’t end well for her.

Done stared into her eyes with the same intensity he’d displayed back in her store. “Now, stop talking and let’s go.”

Charli’s mind slid into darkness, completely void of all thought, and quiet static hummed in her ears. “Okay,” she mumbled.

“Not going to happen, Morph. Let the girl go.”

The static vanished, and Charli jerked her head toward the sound of the voice. Reality came crashing back, flooding her with panic, and she nearly sobbed in relief at the sight of the newcomer. Just as big and just as imposing as her psycho date, he stood beyond the entrance of the church, his eyes fixated on Don.

Acting on instinct, she slammed her heel down on Don’s toes, distracting him long enough to wrench her arm out of his grasp. Without looking back, she printed up the stairs, taking them too at a time, and ducked behind her rescuer.

“I don’t know who you are or where you came from, but just consider me your biggest fan.”

The guy responded only with a low grunt, but he did pull her closer to his muscled back, positioning himself between her and Don. “Give it up, Morph. The jewel is worthless without the girl and you know it. Just hand it over.”

“Girl? What girl? Me girl?” I’m never dating again. If I make it home alive, I’m going to adopt six cats and learn to knit. “What jewel? What do I have to do with this?”

“Not now,” the new guy answered with a quick shake of his head. “I’m a little busy saving your life, if you hadn’t noticed.”

“Oh, right, sorry.” Charli gripped the fabric of his jacket in her fists and nodded. “Proceed.”

She couldn’t be sure, but she thought the corner of his lips twitch into a fleeting smile before he addressed Don again. “What’s it going to be, Morph? We can do this the easy way or the hard way, but both end with that jewel in my hand.”

“Oh,” Charli praised, “that was good.”

There it was again, no mistaking it this time, a subtle, blink-and-miss-it, twitch of his lips. Pushing up on her tip toes, she peered over his shoulder to see Don’s reaction. She didn’t know what she’d expected, but seeing her date turn into a plume of smoke and then vanish certainly hadn’t topped the list.

Her savior just sighed as he threaded his fingers through his long, golden hair. Charli, however, was in the midst of a panic attack.

“Did you see that? What was that? Holy smokes, and I guess I mean that literally since we’re in front of a church, and he just, well, you saw him. Did that really happen?” Her pulse pounded frantically in her throat, making her voice shake. “This can’t happen.”

Prying her hands from his thick, leather jacket, the guy turned and took her by the shoulders. “Charlotte, I need you to take a deep breath and relax.”

“I’m relaxed. Why? Do I not seemed relaxed? I guess I’m just not used to people turning into freaking clouds of smoke in the middle of the French Quarter.” Extracting herself from his grasp, she shook her head and stumbled back. Charli dropped her purse and bent at the waist, resting her hands on her knees as she sucked in deep breaths of cool air. “It’s a character flaw. I’ll work on it.”

The guy, whoever he was, actually laughed as he held her shoulders again and pulled her upright. “You are very unusual, even for a human.”

“What’s that supposed to mean? For a human?” Great, only with her luck would the hero turn out to be just as insane as the villain. “Wait, how do you know my name?”

His gaze traveled along the curve of her neck, over her jawline, and finally up to her eyes. “I know a lot about you, Charlotte Rousseau.” Capturing a flyaway strand of hair, he tucked it behind her ear with a peculiar twist of his lips. “I am Lieutenant Vane Schiva, and I was sent here to protect you.”

Max has always been Anna‘s knight in shining armor. But Max has always seen her as a charming, and very sexy, little sister.

Until Max’s cold fiance dumps him, Anna unloads another of her many conquests and she invites him over for margaritas and Mexican food.

Guest Author Lia Davis with a Giveaway!!

The Divinities Series by Lia Davis

Over three hundred years ago children were born to an elite group of witches that were unlike any of the other magical children. These children were born with a mark, a living tattoo of a single rose on the inside of the left forearm. They possess natural divine powers. The magical communities, called Covens, believed the children were gifts from the gods and called them The Divinities.

For decades the war between witches and demons seemed to diminish. Until recently. Two Divinities are missing. Three are dead, along with their spouses.  The victims were among the Divinities appointed by Hecate to watch over the Sinew–the source of all magic.

Now it is up to the Divinities to keep the Sinew from the demons and protect magickin and the world from a fate far worse than anyone can imagine.

Kalissa Bradenton isn’t your average coffee shop owner. Born to an elite witch bloodline with a rare genetic mutation, she’s a Divinity on a mission. The death of her parents sends her away from her Maxville, Florida, home and into an ancient war between witches and demons. When childhood friend Ayden Daniels comes to her aid after an almost fatal accident, visions of a past she doesn’t remember sparks an old flame and new desires. With the past slowly becoming clearer, she eagerly sets her sights on mending Ayden’s heart and gaining his trust–until a ghost from her past returns to claim her as his demonic mate.

Ayden, the new Sheriff of Maxville and grandson of the oldest living Divinity, is investigating a series of Divinity killings. When he comes face-to-face with the one woman he hopes to have little to no contact with, old pain rises, quickly followed by anger and resentment. Through his rare power of adaptability, he learns actions from the past may not be what they seem. Hope fills his broken heart and determination pushes him to do whatever it takes to win Kalissa’s heart once more before he loses her forever.

Together they must find the strength to mend their tormented souls, while fighting an evil out to destroy the world.

Technical genius and demi-goddess--aka Divinity--Khloe Bradenton relies on no one for help, and she definitely doesn’t need comfort from anyone other than her twin. After her parents died by the demons’ hands over two years ago, she has graciously stepped up to her place in the war between demons and witches. When a creature far more dangerous than the ones responsible for killing her parents claims he is her guardian, she is torn between her desires for the dark predator and the painful loss she has endured at the hands of her enemies.

One of the last death demons still in existence, Jagger has pledged his life to the Goddess Hecate. Charged with the guardianship over the Divinities, he is never to approach them, but to aid them from a distance. When the firestorm, Khloe, sacrifices herself to save her twin and best friend and becomes the prey, he has no choice but to reveal himself to her. He is taken by surprise when the need to claim her as his own emerges. A desire he has never felt before could be more dangerous than the demons out to destroy them.

Guest Post - The Soundtrack of our lives by Casea Major

Thanks for having me on the blog today, Virginia.

I was asked once would you rather become blind or deaf. It's or horrible thought either way, but in that moment I knew I really didn't want to live without music.

I don't know about you, but music is an integral part of my life. I mark life-changing events by the songs that were popular on the radio. My first date, prom, wedding, births of my children, even the deaths of people close to me are marked in my memory with song.

All it takes is for a particular tune to play on the radio and my memory immediately transports me. More than any other sense—except maybe smell—hearing can take me to another time and place.

So is it any wonder that I get my chief inspiration from music. There are times when a song captures my attention and a whole story forms in my mind.

All my stories have extensive playlists. Generally, the songs I select capture an emotion I want to convey in a particular character or scene. But they always have one theme song.

The theme song for Night with a Dom, my current release with Decadent Publishing is

– Moves Like Jaggar, by Maroon 5

So tell me – What songs inspire you?

For a limited time you can buy Night with a Dom for only $1.00 and when you do you are registered to WIN a brand new Nook HD!

Night with a Dom Casea Major

 

Blurb:

Melody Manning’s workaholic ambition, coupled with a slave-driving former boss, has made her the youngest market analyst in her firm. It’s also killed her personal life, including losing her fiancé. When she receives a message from him on New Year’s Eve announcing his engagement to another woman, Mel loses it. Her new, more compassionate boss has the perfect solution for her—get laid. Good and laid.

At his suggestion, she signs up with the 1Night Stand service, listing her deepest sexual desires on the application.  A speedy response from Madame Eve has Melody on her way to Sonoma Valley wine country and a one-night stand with a mysterious Dom.

The sexy, masked Master promises to get to the bottom of her guilt and provide ultimate satisfaction under the safety of his stern hand. After an emotional night of submission and uninhibited passion, will her lover’s unmasking lead to the end of their encounter or give Mel another chance at love?

Prior to becoming a writer of romantic fiction, Casea Major worked in the legal field for a non-profit dispute resolution company for ten years.  She is now a full-time mom to three preschool children with whom she and her husband live happily...most of the time.  When she isn't chained to her laptop, she enjoys Cary Grant movies and crocheting.

Some people have got to get real…

Lydia Tompkins isn’t looking for love. She’s annoyed. A dating site devoted to matching up gold diggers with men willing to pay for their time? Thinking she can add a dash of reality to their pipe dreams of Stepford wives, she uploads her picture and a piece of her mind and never expects any serious responses.

Some people even want to…

Chandler Hawk remembers a time before the wealth. Finding the most appalling dating site he’s ever heard of while surfing the net, he clicks on it and finds the most real woman he’s seen in a long time.

The sugar daddy meets a woman who doesn’t need a man to take care of her and sparks fly. Will they find a happily ever after, with Sugar on Top?

Rites of Spring Blog Hop! ~ Win Prizes!!

Spring is a time of firsts. First blooms of flowers. First sighting of sunshine after a long cold winter. First breaths of life for so many creatures...

Since this post is about firsts, I was really torn which book I wanted to talk about.

In Taming of a Sex God, Katie thinks she's frigid. She heads off to a fantasy island where all your sexual desires can be fulfilled and meets the little known sex god, Yes. Although he has no temples, people remember to worship him at the height of pleasure, crying out his name to the skies.

She has an *ahem* interesting first with Yes. (Trying to keep this PG but you can guess where this was headed.) Taming of a Sex God is available now and you can grab a copy here.

But what I really wanted to talk about is my April 1 release, Rumor Has It. That story is a second chance story in all the best ways. Liz and Jeremy have been friends since high school. When she ran off after graduation to Vegas with Vern (who became an Elvis impersonator), Jeremy patiently waited. When she came home, divorced and with a child to raise, he waited. There would be a right time.

Years later, Jeremy still hasn't made his move and the Elvis impersonator comes back to town to couch surf.

What's not in the blurb is their dance.

Their first dance (you knew I was headed to a first, right?) was actually the first dance either of them ever had with someone of the opposite sex. That moment changed them both and neither thinks the other remembers it...or their first kiss.

Both do.

This was so fun for me to write because I just love the second chance stories. Have you had a second chance at romance in real life? Tell me about your second chance in the comment section below and one lucky winner can get a copy of Rumor Has It on release day (4/1/2013)!!

Make sure you leave your email addy in the comment if you choose to enter...because there are more prizes to be had, even if you don't win my giveaway, because this is a BLOG HOP!!

March Madness Blog Hop

I had to google what March Madness meant.  Just being honest.

My thoughts were something like this:

• People going wild and crazy on green beer.
• Spring fever
• People who are twitterpated
• People who really like to clean getting geared up for spring cleaning

I had no idea it was a sport thing. Shh...I know, I know.  I should know more about sports. And basketball players are tall and I like tall boys...

I do. I'm short. They make me feel all fun-sized.

Now available on Amazon!

Since I had a new release yesterday (Taming of a Sex God), I figured I could work one of those four themes in and still manage to talk about my book.

There's no basketball playing on fantasy islands full of sex gods. So, yeah, nixing that.

But I can giveaway a copy to one lucky commenter on the blog.  See? Still worked it in.

Instead, well, I'll tell you about a memorable basketball game I once played. Teenage me was over at the local high school, on a weekend, in the chilly Ohio rain.
I kept dunking the ball.  I was feeling pretty special. The guys just seemed to freeze when I went to shoot, backing off and staring.

I had no clue what was going on. Until one of my buddies finally said, "So, you're cold?"
Me, "Yeah, how did you know? I can still play."
He snickered.
Me, "What? How did you know? You cold too?"
Him, "Are you aware nipples get hard when you're cold?"
Me, "Huh?"

And I looked down.  Pointy.  Very pointy.

Me, "Weird."
Him, "Yeah, maybe a sweater?"

Anyway, I'm very excited to be included in this blog hop and you can win big- BIG - prizes.  
You can read the rules, exclusions, etc by clicking here.

You can win a copy of Taming of a Sex God by commenting below...and here's the hop info. Best of luck to all!!

March Madness: That time of year when women across the country are left to their own devices during the NCAA basketball playoff tournaments. Sure we could do some early spring cleaning, catch up on laundry, organize closets, and throw out all the junk in the garage/attic, but where's the fun in that? So, instead of work, we thought we'd host our version of March Madness: A prize filled hop presented by some of the best names in romance. And we've made it easy for you to join in. Simply hop from blog to blog—the links are below—and “follow”, “Like”, “Friend” etc. the authors sites then leave a comment on their blog post.

***Max interview and a GIVEAWAY!!***

Today I have a guest on the blog!!

And it isn’t just anyone. I have to confess—I have a little bit of a crush on Max. Max is the star of Heather Long’s new release, The Love Thieves, available now on Amazon! (click here to get your copy today!)

If you haven’t heard about The Love Thieves, here is the blurb:

Set in Morocco, London and Switzerland, The Love Thieves takes Anya and Max on a powerful journey full of passion and chemistry that sparks on the page from their first dance to their last.
Maxwell Sauvage was born into a life of privilege…and boredom. As a “security consultant” to the powerful, he enjoys pitting his wits against the most intricate of security systems for business and pleasure.

Anya Swift is a woman with high-class tastes and a high-octane need for adventure. As an operative for International Art and Antiquities Recovery she stays just on the ‘right’ side of the law, while satisfying her desire for the finer things and her thirst for adventure.

When a high tech camera catches Anya taking The Fortunate Buddha from the French Ambassador’s vault, Max is eager to help the provocative thief for his own reasons, not the least of which being that he set the camera. But after one stunning night of passion, Anya disappears. Now Max must find Anya before the Ambassador’s men and claim the thief for his own, but they are running against a clock, danger and deception.

So, help me welcome Max…You can applaud if you want to.

Max, I have a few questions for you and thanks for coming. For starters, your method of wooing Anya was rather…untraditional. Tell us a little about that?

What’s untraditional about learning everything you can about a woman so you can woo her properly? My darling Anya is unconventional. I thought it prudent to act accordingly.

Okay, I gotta say, that is kinda sexy…so, how do you fall in love? Is it at first sight? Or perhaps during a rapid-fire series of questions from a dead sexy author? *bats eyelashes*

It began in an airport, sitting in the most dreadfully dull lounge you can imagine. But the setting isn’t important, the woman is…

Trust seems to be an issue for you…or you wouldn’t have made some of the…choices you made with Anya. Do you feel trust is usually an issue for you or are you perhaps inspired to trust by inquisitive authors? *hikes skirt a bit higher…*

Trust is earned over the length of an acquaintance, not the skirt.

Describe yourself to me…slowly.

Why ever for?

Hmm…love it. *fans self* So, uh, describe your ideal relationship. I know my…uh…readers want to know all about that.

Trust and passion are vital to any relationship. The ability to converse on multiple subjects and about anything other than fashion and parties. The fact that she can take a man twice her size and put him down like an animal doesn’t hurt. *amused smile* The things that she can do with her legs…

What are you most afraid of? Is that too personal of a question? *laughs nervously* If it is, you should answer anyway. *stares*

Assumptions. Assumptions lead to bad choices and alienation.

What do you like most about your life right now? Like, if you could change any one thing, what would it be?

That is a difficult question. Life is about the choices we make. Change one -- you could change everything. So if changing anything could cost me the one thing I value most then I choose Anya, bruises, bad choices and all.

Oh, well, I thought for sure your answer would be that you would fly me away to a deserted tropical island so you could serve me frothy frozen beverages…Any chance you will give up on that whole Anya thing and date a super sexy single author? *waggles eyebrows*

Not hardly. But I could introduce you to my cousin…let me give you his number…

Damn. Well, you heard it here first, folks. Sexy, rich as sin, bored and a single-devotion to me…erm, Anya. *sigh* If you want to hear more about Max and Anya, check out The Love Thieves here or to find out more about Heather Long’s sexy heroes…check out her website here.

And Heather is giving away a pdf copy of The Love Thieves to one lucky commenter...just leave your comments in the comments section below to be entered to win. Don't forget to leave your email so we can send you your copy if you win.
Good luck and happy writing!
