New Cover + New Sale!

Happy Friday! It's definitely time for some updates! I just received the new cover for Lover's Instinct, book 1.5 in the Moon Shifter series. It's releasing in August, the month before Primal Possession and if you read my stuff, you know how much I love novellas. This is an intense story and I'm so excited about it.

Lover's Instinct blurb:
Lupine shifter Nikan Lawless has it bad for Esperanze Cordona, the sweet and curvy woman who only views him as a friend. But when Nikan is assigned to act as Esperanze’s bodyguard during a weekend education conference, he knows it’s the perfect opportunity to seduce her off her feet—away from the pack.

To put his plan into motion Nikan cancels one of their hotel rooms, giving them time to get to know one another in a whole different way. But when a man from Esperanze’s past shows up in need of help, Nikan must shield her from a group of dangerous rogue shifters, all while trying to prove that they’re destined to be mates.

IN SALES NEWS!! I signed with NAL/Signet for two more books in the Moon Shifter series. Both books are untitled as of yet but I can tell you that in book 4 the two main characters will be Erin and sexy, brooding Noah. More details will follow soon ;)

No One to Trust temporary markdown #kindle

No One to Trust is temporarily marked down to 99 cents! This story is the first romantic suspense in my new Red Stone Security series and since the second book, Danger Next Door, is coming out next month I decided to mark this one down.

No One to Trust:

Computer security specialist Elizabeth Martinez has never been able to turn her back on her brother Benny. When his risky lifestyle finally lands him in harm’s way, Elizabeth finds herself dragged into the dangerous underworld with him and into the crosshairs of one of Miami’s death-dealing drug lords. Only after her ex-boyfriend saves her does she realize she might have no choice but to depend on the one man she has tried so desperately to forget.

Former Marine Porter Caldwell never should have let Elizabeth walk away from him all those months ago. She means more to him than anything and now that she’s in danger and turned to him for help, he won’t make that mistake again. When a local gang targets her and she’s nearly killed in a drive by shooting, Porter vows to do whatever it takes to keep her alive. Even if it means turning his back on all that he’s sworn to uphold.

"Fun and believable characters with a fast-paced and exciting story line No One to Trust is a recommended read to romance and romantic suspense fans everywhere." ~Crystal, Reading Between the Wines

Purchase from Amazon or Barnes & Noble. (If B&N's price drop hasn't kicked in yet, give it until tomorrow morning. Sometimes they're a little slower updating.)

If you read it, I hope you enjoy it!

Happy Mother's Day #giveaway #kindle

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Mother's Day! This is my first one as a mom so it's pretty special. My husband and son made me the cutest card (which you can see here) with my son's hand and foot print! Since I don't live close to my mom we're taking my mother-in-law out for brunch then just spending the rest of the day vegging out at home. I'm looking forward to a peaceful day. Whatever you do today I hope it's special!

As a Mother's Day special I decided to mark down Danger in Paradise to .99 cents for the next week! If you haven't read it, now is your chance. :)

Happy Mother's Day!
