Brand New Release: The Rancher’s Royal Bride (BBW Romance - Billionaire Brothers 4)

My brand new book is out!

The Rancher’s Royal Bride (BBW Romance - Billionaire Brothers 4) is the fourth book in the Billionaire Brothers series.

99c for a limited time, then the price will rise to $2.99

When a threat is made against her, Ellie Sterling is sent to hide out at Logan Trask’s ranch in Wyoming. She doesn’t know who is after her. Or why. She’s a curvy illustrator, for goodness’ sake, not a crime fighter.

Retired SEAL Logan is asked to look after Ellie. When he finds her curves more tempting than he thought possible, suddenly he’s the one in danger - of losing his heart.

But when revelations from Ellie’s shadowed past take her by surprise, Logan is the one she turns to. Can this burned-out SEAL give her a safe haven in his strong arms, despite having a secret of his own?

This is a sexy contemporary romance novella of approximately 31,000 words. Although it’s part of the Billionaire Brothers series, it can be read as a stand-alone romance.

EXCERPT:

"“I’m … I’m glad you’re here,” she confessed. Although his hands were just touching her shoulders, she felt safe in his loose embrace.

"So am I,” he muttered.

Their gazes met and held for a long second, then Logan’s mouth oh-so-slowly descended. Ellie’s pulse skittered and she held her breath.

He kissed her lightly, softly. A tingle of electricity zipped through her. Then his lips claimed hers once more. Ellie sighed against his mouth as the kiss intensified. Just as her arms stole around his neck, he stepped back, wrenching his mouth from hers.

“Sorry.” He raked his hand through his hair. “I shouldn’t have done that.” "

I hope you enjoy it!

Wildcat in Moscow by Storm Chase

I've just read Wildcat in Moscow by Storm Chase and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here's the blurb:

"Not only is Chelsea broke, but the police think she has colluded in a financial swindle. Worse, loan shark Carlos Santiago is after her too, determined to make her pay up for her stepfather’s debts. Then Vladimir Voyeykov, rumoured to be a member of the Red Mafia, enters the mix. He whisks Chelsea to Moscow where she is catapulted into a world filled with intrigue - and passion."

So what happens once Chelsea arrives in Moscow? Despite coming from two different worlds, can Chelsea and Vlad make their romance work? And will her stepfather and Carlos get their just desserts? You'll have to read it to find out! ;-)

Excerpt:



The
bouncer at the door wasn’t too pleased at the sight of Chelsea’s parka
or her Save The Rainforest t-shirt, but when she smiled sweetly and
mentioned George’s name, he reconsidered and let her in.

The club was loud, crowded with groups of half-drunk rowdy men and
very, very pink. The walls, tables and even the bar stools were a
uniform creamy rose that exactly matched the skin tones of half a dozen
scantily clad girls dancing on a stage. From a distance it looked as
though six sets of tiny bikinis were gyrating to the beat of the music.

“Surreal,” Chelsea said out loud. Still laughing, she turned and bumped
up against someone.

“Surreal?” a voice repeated with amusement. “That’s not an expression
I’ve heard used here before.”

“Sorry,” Chelsea said automatically. “I didn’t see you.” She looked up
and stepped back instinctively.

His short cropped blond hair and lean aquiline features were classic
but the hard grey eyes and deadpan expression screamed danger.

I shouldn’t have come here, Chelsea thought.

As if sensing her thoughts, he smiled slightly. “No problem.” He looked
her over critically. He spoke fluently but with a rough inflection that
was definitely foreign. “You don’t belong here,” he said bluntly. “Why
are you here?”

“I’ve come to look for someone,” Chelsea stammered.

“Who?”

Chelsea wanted to tell him to mind his own business but realised that
he might be able to help her. “I’m looking for friends of George
McAllister.”

He frowned down at her. “But not for McAllister himself,” he noted.

“Do you know him?” Chelsea asked. “He comes in here pretty often, two
or three times a week I think.”

He said nothing and Chelsea could read nothing from his expression.

“If you know him, maybe you can help me,” Chelsea pleaded. “It won’t
take long and I have money.” He frowned at her. “I mean, I can buy you
a drink,” Chelsea faltered.

The hard grey eyes looked her over again, resting on her hair, her
t-shirt and her jeans. Despite the thick parka, Chelsea suddenly felt
naked. Resisting the impulse to run away, she stood her ground
determinedly.

“I’ve met him,” he finally conceded.

“Then can we talk?”

“He’s bad news. Not the sort of person you should be hanging out with.”

“You don’t understand. I’m in real trouble. Please, I just need a few
minutes of your time.”

“Vlad, are you coming?” A tall blonde in a sequined black cocktail
dress appeared at his side. She looked at Chelsea and seeing the thick
parka dismissed her instantly. “I’m thirsty,” the blonde said while
taking his arm possessively.

Vlad, Chelsea thought. Short for Vladimir. Russian. And by the look of
his dark blue silk shirt and slim gold watch, a rich one too. One of
those business moguls, she thought to herself, vaguely remembering
stories in the newspapers of Russian oil and telecommunication
billionaires.

Vladimir shrugged the girl off. “Go sit. I’ll be there in a moment,” he
said.

“But the others have just arrived,” the blonde pouted. “They’ll be
expecting you to join them.”

“So they’ll wait a bit,” Vladimir said coldly. “Go on. I want to talk
to this girl here.” With a malevolent glance at Chelsea the girl
flounced off.

“Thanks,” Chelsea said gratefully. “I really appreciate your helping
me.”

“I haven’t said I will yet,” he answered.

Brand New Release! The Lawman's Blackmailed Bride (BBW Romance - Billionaire Brothers 3)

The reason I've been so quiet lately is I've been holed up in my writing cave, finishing The Lawman's Blackmailed Bride 

This is the third book in the Billionaire Brothers series, and features Cole, who was mentioned in The Tycoon's Reluctant Bride (BBW Romance - Billionaire Brothers 2)

So what happens with Cole?  Here's the blurb:

Only 99c for a limited time, then the price will rise to $2.99

One split second can change your life … forever.

Blackmailed into silence when her boss cons a sweet old lady, Phoebe Lancaster “borrows” an ancient coin to get it valued by an honest dealer. On the run and fearing her nasty boss will catch her, she jumps into Cole Trask’s car.

Former cop turned private eye Cole is intrigued when Phoebe crashes into his life, and offers to help her in any way he can.

Driving across Wyoming to get the coin valued by her former mentor, Phoebe discovers she’s falling in love with Cole. Burned by her ex-boyfriend, she finds it hard at first to trust Cole with the coin, or to trust her feelings for him.

What is the real reason Cole is helping her?  Even if his motives are genuine, could Cole ever really love a curvy girl like her?

This is a sexy contemporary romance novella of approximately 28,000 words.

Although this is the third book in the Billionaire Brothers series, it's a complete, stand-alone romance. 



The Lawman's Blackmailed Bride (BBW Romance - Billionaire Brothers 3)

Creative Process Blog Tour

I'd like to thank the talented Lucinda Elliot, author of historical Regency fiction, for including me in this blog tour.

1. What Am I Working On?

I'm just about to start writing the third book in the Billionaire Brothers romance series, featuring Cole.

2.  How Does My Work Differ From Others In Its Genre?

Hmm ... that's a hard question.  My last seven romances have been about BBWs (big beautiful women) finding love with their very own hero.  My romances have been described as sweet and sexy. I don't have swearing in my books (except for an occasional "hell" or "damn") and I hope my readers find my sex scenes tasteful but hot :-)

3.  Why Do I Write What I Do?

I've spent the last 26 years reading romance, and when I bought a Kindle in 2012, I read a lot of erotic romance on it :-) and came to the conclusion that I wanted to share my stories with the world. Seduced by the Boss was my first series (erotic romance), then I decided to try the sexy contemporary romance genre, and I've been happily writing my sexy contemp romances ever since.

4.  How Does My Writing Process Work?

I only have limited time for writing, so I try to write a minimum of 1,000 words per day, five days per week.  I found Rachel Aaron's Kindle book, From 2k to 10k : Writing Faster, Writing Better, and Writing More of What You Love helpful in this regard. When I'm approaching a deadline, I do write six days per week to make sure my book is finished on time!

The Tycoon's Reluctant Bride (BBW Romance - Billionaire Brothers 2) is out now!

My brand new release, The Tycoon’s Reluctant Bride (BBW Romance - Billionaire Brothers 2) is out now on Amazon! This is the second romance in the Billionaire Brothers series.

When city tycoon Alex Trask proposes to curvy Laura, she thinks he’s crazy. After all, they’ve only met once and haven’t even kissed!

But when he offers to help her company solve its cash flow problems and stave off bankruptcy, what other choice does she have?

Since he’ll only assist her if she agrees to marry him, Laura becomes a whirlwind bride. Since one of Alex’s conditions is they have a real marriage, she risks her heart by falling in love with the enigmatic billionaire.

But will she ever discover the real reason Alex proposed? Could he ever fall in love with a curvy girl like her?

This is a sexy contemporary romance novella of 33,000 words.

Although this is the second book in the Billionaire Brothers series, it's a complete, stand alone romance.

You may also enjoy The Cowboy’s Runaway Bride (BBW Romance - Billionaire Brothers 1).

EXCERPT:

““The bed’s comfortable.” A sexy grin rumpled the corners of his mouth. “I come here whenever I can get away from the city.”

Alone? Laura wanted to ask, but didn’t, in case she didn’t like the answer. A sudden thought occurred to her. What if … what if their definitions of marriage differed?

“Alex.” She licked suddenly dry lips, barely aware that he’d caught the small movement and turned all his attention on her. “When … when you said a real marriage …” she paused. This was so awkward. Why on earth hadn’t she thought of this before she’d married him?

“I meant a real marriage.” He pulled her towards him, until there was barely an inch of space separating their bodies.

Finding it hard to think, let alone breathe, Laura tried again. “Yes, but what about … other people?”

He scowled. “There won’t be any one else in our marriage, Laura,” he said firmly. “Just you and me.”

Relief flooded through her. “Okay,” she whispered, allowing herself to relax in his embrace.

The next instant, he tightened his arms around her. “I hope we’re clear on this point,” he growled.

“Very,” she managed to utter, before he kissed her.

His lips claimed hers, his tongue demanding immediate entry. Surrendering with a small sigh, Laura curled her arms around his neck as he deepened the kiss …”

EXCERPT

"Half an hour later, they rode back to the barn.  “You don’t want to overdo it for your first time.”  Garrett dismounted easily and tethered the horses to the post, then came to help her down.  “Take your right foot out of the stirrup, swing your leg over, then place your right foot on the ground.”

She tried to obey his instructions, kicking her right foot out of the stirrup before swinging it backward.  Clenching the horn with a death-grip, she hovered in the air, her left foot still in the stirrup and her right hand grasping the back of the saddle.  She didn’t think she could do it.  Wobbling slightly, she sighed in relief when Garrett’s strong arms wrapped around her waist.

“I’ve got you,” he murmured, his warm breath brushing her neck.  A shiver raced down her spine.  He helped her off Prince, untangling her left foot from the stirrup.  She turned to him, a little dizzy. 

“Thank you.”  She looked into his dark brown eyes, wanting to melt into their depths.  Despite her best intentions, she was definitely attracted to this man.  But what did he feel about her?

“You’re welcome.”  He gently smoothed her hair back from her face.  “You might want to take a bath tonight, since you’re not used to horse riding.”

She gave the briefest of nods. Her eyes remained locked on his.  She didn’t want to do anything to break the sensual spell.

Garrett’s hand touched the small of her back, his thumb caressing her spine, urging her to take a couple of steps closer to him.  She obeyed willingly, her heart thudding with anticipation.

He gazed down at her, threading his fingers through her hair.  She held her breath as his lips descended, until they were only a heartbeat away from hers.  “Maddie,” he murmured.

She waited for the touch of his lips …"
