Rachel Davis will do anything to get her sister out of a bad relationship with her fiancé. Even if it involves a few fibs, a little breaking-and-entering, and blackmailing the fiancé's potential boss, Charles, for his help. So what if the handsome Charles happens to be a vampire?
 

Charles Wright has found the perfect way to trap the man threatening his brother's wife: cozy up to him, get invited along on the skiing trip, and then search for incriminating evidence. How much better that audacious but gorgeous Rachel is just as eager to nail the bastard. As far as he's concerned, there's nothing wrong with a little blackmail between two consenting adults. Especially when it's time for Rachel to pay up.

DON’T BITE THE BRIDESMAID

A Sons of Kane Novel, Book One

Genre:  Light Paranormal Romance

Publisher: Entangled Publishing (Covet)

Length: Novel

Release Date: May 27, 2013

Alice Shepard needs one thing: a date for her sister’s wedding. And not just any date. A hunk who will make her fiancé rue the day he left her for her best friend. Her drop-dead gorgeous neighbor fits the bill—even if he is a bit quirky and never comes out during the day—and Alice has downed just enough appletinis to ask him. But she makes it quite clear that there will be no funny business.

Spending a week on a cruise ship full of humans while sleeping close to his sexy next-door neighbor sounds like a helluva bad idea to vampire Noah Thorpe. But his friends need time to get him out of a shotgun wedding—a vampire bonding that will tie his fate to a female vampire he’s never met. And Alice’s offer comes at just the right time.

What could possibly go wrong?

Agent Bio

My greatest blessing was to grow up overseas without any television time. Sure, I missed out on The Waltons and Saturday morning cartoons, but how many kids get to ride on the back of an elephant, eat candied ants, visit every museum and chateaux in Paris, or track tigers in northern Thailand? As the youngest of four daughters, I had the example of my brilliant sisters, who read voraciously, and I bypassed Nancy Drew to read every book in the Hardy Boys series. (That was the first indication of my fascination for male heroes). By the sixth grade, I’d discovered Victoria Holt and moved back to the United States . I wrote my first book—a wretched historical novel—when I was thirteen. Two teenage years in Houston, Texas, saw me reading Harlequin romances and writing several more books.

I’ve always been an over-achiever, with so many interests it was frustrating to have to choose just one career. I could have been an opera singer—but no. I excelled in language and for many years taught high school English, Spanish, and then Linguistics at the College of William and Mary, my alma mater.

But my first love, writing romance, remained a dream for decades. I wrote throughout my twenties and early thirties, completing more manuscripts, getting really serious with agents and publishers, etc. Danger’s Promise, a medieval romance, was finally published in 2002, becoming a RITA finalist for Best First Book. Since then, I’ve discovered that military romance is my best fit. I’ve been the wife of an Army officer, who died young, and my husband now is retired Navy.

My personal life is frankly hectic. We have six children between us, ranging in age from 8 years to 24 years old. Most of “the olders” still have one foot in the nest. But I always find time for my loyal readers, so feel free to introduce yourself to me, as I have to you.

Yours truly,

Marliss

A Scorching Hot Kiss

When Literal Hotties posted a glowing review of Cassie Scot: ParaNormal Detective a few months back, April said, “The steamiest you get here is a scorching hot kiss. But there is hope for the next book getting hotter!”

Evan's kiss really is a scorcher. He can, we discover during the first book, bring a woman to orgasm with a single kiss. Cassie doesn't believe him at first, but she learns the truth the hard way. (Or more to the point, in a very arousing way.)

The idea for the kiss came to me in a dream – and oh, I'm sorry to sound like a cliché but it's the truth! I held that dream close to my chest for years before I dared write it down, though. It was the center of many a private fantasy.

I've worked my way into romance, it isn't something I set out to do from the start. But I noticed that the very minor romantic subplots I wrote into my first two books were by far my favorite parts of the stories, so it was clear to me that I needed to surrender to the romantic within, begging to be set free.

Cassie Scot was a great way for me to ease myself into romance. The romantic subplot (mixed with mystery and magic) takes four books to develop. Since it is one of several intertwined subplots, it's never going to get very high on the steam-o-meter, but I promise that I'm no curtain closer. For me it was just a matter of letting Cassie's character drive the story, and Cassie was not ready to have sex in the early books. Between you and me (and now everyone else on the Internet) I have a file with over two dozen discarded attempts to put a sex scene into the first two books. She said no, and no means no. So...

I was left with that scorching kiss. A single brush of lip against lip that no woman can resist.

I was reading a lot of romance in those early days of plot outlining and character sketching, when I was trying to decide whether or not to go for the magic kiss. Women in mainstream romance get thoroughly aroused by simple kisses all the time and they don't even have the fantasy umbrella for shelter. If I'm going to write fantasy, why not mean it? Why not own it?

Okay, so after writing all four books in the series I have an answer: The fun fantasy became quite the challenge when I realized only a total jerk would take advantage of such a power. Which makes foreplay awkward. When they do finally make love, I had to write the foreplay without any kissing lest the reader harbor any doubt as to whether or not Cassie is wholeheartedly embracing the moment.

Despite that challenge, I wouldn't change a thing. Evan is my dream man, including that erotic kiss of his. I hope you enjoy the romantic dynamic, which climaxes in Stolen Dreams (Cassie Scot #4).

Guest Post & Giveaway - Laura Harner's HIGHLAND DESTINY

Guest Post :  Laura Harner

I started writing Highland Shift—the first book in the Highland Destiny series—about five years ago. From the first word of the first book, I knew it would be a four-book series, and I knew exactly how I wanted it to end. Of course, there was a lot of writing to get there—the series is over 400,000 words!

Each book in the series focuses primarily on one couple, but characters for the next book are introduced and characters from the previous books play important roles. Keeping everyone straight was an intricate dance! By the time we get to Highland Destiny, you will have hopefully come to know and love everyone.  

In Highland Shift, the main characters, Elena and Faolan (pronounced FULL-en) spend a lot of time dancing around their attraction for each other. Especially while Faolan tries to keep Elena alive and she tries to figure out his secret…and convince him to have sex with her. Can she convince him? Well, she gives it a damn good try in this scene from Highland Shift.

To set the scene in this excerpt up—they have had a major disagreement, but set aside their difference for an evening with friends. Caught up in the fun, Elena might have had a wee bit much to drink. As soon as they’re alone, she is struck by a sudden attack of the giggles, which is definitely not in character. The situation becomes funnier still, when Faolan unexpectedly joins in the laughter.
