The morning after...

As you all know it was release day yesterday and I am feeling the after effects today. And no, I didn't overindulge on the bubbly, more's the pity.

I was too excited to sleep and I had errands to run and teenage traumas to deal with, including hubby on the war path at almost midnight - fun, fun, fun - not! Just in case you think I spent yesterday floating on the ceiling. Well, I did, but I had to keep coming back down to deal with this annoying thing called real life.

Anyhooo, this is just a quick post to say, thank you all for making yesterday special. I received some truly lovely comments that made me sniff a little.

I hope you all enjoy the latest instalment of the Tigers. Grisha has been growling louder than ever, so I guess he'll soon have me chained to the keyboard. And a little insider sneak now...

pssst, don't tell everyone, but, remember Estelle's outrageous friend from Riding Her Tiger, Neeve? Yep, she is the one to snare our Grisha, or should that be the other way round.  You see in my head she has just called this whole collaring thing complete and utter tosh, under her breath, but ya know they're shifters, they heard her...

Silly, silly, girl!

I actually started this post to announce my winners  and got sidetracked, as usual, so without further ado.

From Elizabeth Morgan's blog :  Dariel Raye

And yesterday's release day winner is: Faith Thomas

There will be more chances to win as I am hopping over the net for a few days, and I am also taking part in the  BDSM Unleashed Blog Hop, which runs from July 14th  - 21st. Am really looking forward to that one!

Click on the image for details. Some fabulous prices to be won and authors to meet. Some of my favourite authors in the genre are part of this hop. Exciting stuff to be part of!

Right, I have rambled on enough. Best go and chase Budda, as he is turning my living room upside down and  tell me... Why does he make a beeline for the muddiest, smelliest teenage boy's shoes and tries to eat them? Really?

Have a great week :-)

Cover reveal and Giveaway winner

This post has a distinct feeling of deja vu about it :-)

I'm sure I did a post like this a week ago!

*big grin*

Congrats to Tammy Ramey, who won a copy of my latest release Too Hot To Handle in the giveaway on Lorraine Nelson's blog. Enjoy my sexy Italian.

Onto my new cover.

Isn't it pretty?

Little Miss Frigid Knickers is my contribution to this Anthology and I'll leave you with a little, unedited teaser.

“No. You can’t be serious.” Her voice wobbled and her eyes grew bigger still, when he just smiled and nodded. “I can’t ride a motorbike in this skirt.”

“You can and you will, sweetie. Now come on. ”She tried to dig her heels in, when he grabbed her hand and he raised one eyebrow. “Unless you want me to spank that pretty ass of yours right now, get moving.”

“You wouldn’t dare, I’m not one of your, your playthings. I’m not into that stuff.” But even as she said the words, her breathing got shallower, her nipples bullets against his chest and he leant in closer.

“Liar!” He growled the words and she swallowed visibly, backing away from him. Before she could protest further, he grabbed her round the waist and swung her over his shoulder. The breath whooshed out of her, when she landed her to die for butt next to his face, and he ground his teeth as the scent of her arousal filled his nostrils. One arm firmly anchored behind her knees, he used his other hand to deliver a stinging swat to her exposed butt cheek and her struggling ceased. He massaged the sting away, his hand lingering on the soaked material barely covering her pussy. Oh yeah, she was getting wetter by the second.

“That’s better. You move again and the next one will hurt. Understood?” He felt her nod against his back, even as she mumbled under her breath. “I can’t hear you. Do you understand me, Summer?”

“Yes, dammit.”

“That’s yes, Sir!”

She groaned against his back and he tightened his hold on her ass until she whimpered.

“I’m waiting, Summer.”

He held himself perfectly still, sensing the fight in her, even as the renewed moisture under his hand told him exactly what her body craved, whilst her mind struggled to accept it.

“Trust me, sweetie. I know what I’m doing.”

She went completely rigid and he slid her off his shoulder slowly to see the expression on her face. The sensation of her curves sliding against him was pure torture and she gasped when he settled her pussy against the steel like cock straining his flies. Her pupils dilated to such a degree that her expressive eyes turned almost black and her hands slid up his chest slowly. Her teeth worried her bottom lip and he itched to take that plump lip between his own teeth and taste her. But he forced himself to stay still, as her hands travelled up to his shoulders and into his hair. She stared up at him, her whole body trembling, and the rush of protectiveness he felt had him grind his teeth.

When she finally spoke her voice was a mere whisper.

“Don’t hurt me, Sir.”

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

 Thought I would give you something to drool over whilst you're nursing your hangover. Made me smile anyway.

*big grin*

I hope your heads aren't too sore. In my house it's business as usual today. Hubby has the decorating bug, so he is crashing and sawing away. I'm sure our neighbours must love us.

The kids of course were up at the crack of dawn as usual, the baby never seemed to go to sleep - think he must be in a growth spurt, cause we're playing boob tennis all night. Yawn! I have yet to see the teenagers. Our sixteen year old managed to get drunk on just a few cans of Cider last night, so never got to see in the New Year. It was quite amusing, as he loved everybody, but I was very glad he didn't go that party he was going to. 

I have 1000 words to write, as today is January 1st and 100K in 100 days starts, so I best crack on. Must find myself a widget thingy to chart my progress.

But before I go, I can announce the winner of my latest giveaway from my Author Spotlight with Shannan Albright.

Choice of one of my e-books goes to Gena Robertson. Congratulations Gena. My ever helpful four year old pulled you out of the hat :-) I will be in touch to see which book you'd like.

There will be more Giveaways soon, as my release date for Too Hot To Handle is fast approaching, and I have several Guest authors running Giveaways this month, so watch this space.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
