Between the Covers – Power of Instinct
Today's Between the Covers is an excerpt from my book.
Here is a excerpt from Power of Instinct (Blackstone Haven, Book # 2). Enjoy.
“Ian!” she screamed.
“No need to shout. I’m in here.” Ian’s voice came from her living room.
“What is Einstein doing with McGee and Reid? Heck, what is your whole animal farm doing with them? You—” Sinai stepped into the living room, then stopped.
She walked over and examined the big screen TV that took up the whole wall between her two bay windows. There was a lot of space between them, meaning that was a whole lot of TV. She had heard tales of Ian’s TV from her various family members and friends who went to his house to watch games or a movie. Sinai took a breath, trying to be calm.
“What’s going on?” she asked slowly as she turned to Ian.
He was leaning back on her couch, his arms behind his head and his crossed legs extended before him. Her gaze dropped, taking in how his jeans cupped his cock and encased his legs. Heat flooded her. She shifted.
“Since I’m moving in until after your birthday, I’ll need my things.”
Sinai blinked, sure she had heard him wrong. She shook her head. Ian nodded, a smug smile on his face.
“Hell, no!” Sinai roared.
She smacked away the soap. Ian’s hand flashed up, and he caught it. He stood in a lazy motion then walked in a loose-legged gait. Sinai’s heart started to race. She felt as if she was being stalked. She stood her ground as Ian walked right up to her.
He leant down and said softly, “Don’t test me, Nai.”
“You’re not moving in here. It’s not necessary,” she insisted.
Ian’s eyes dilated, then he said in a low tone, “Are you challenging me?”
Sinai raised her head. “On this I am.”

Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it. ~ Ralph Marston

Between the Covers - Burning Touch
Today's Between the Covers is an excerpt from my book.
Here is a few lines from Burning Touch (Club Immortality, Book # 2). Enjoy.
Fire raced down his spine, making him shiver.
Kariati looked over his shoulder.
His breath left him in a rush. He turned away from the door, captivated by the dancing woman. She was lush full figured temptation. Hungrily he took in her bountiful breasts, voluptuous curves and shapely legs. She turned away from him on her high-heeled, caramel-coloured boots. Kariati raised his hand to his mouth and bit his knuckle to stifle a whimper. His mouth watered with the need to lick across her plump rounded ass.
He took a step towards her. The woman turned to face him. She stopped and stared. Closing the distance between them Kariati reached for her with his senses. Shocked, he watched the woman, a human woman, who had captured all his senses. Reaching her, he memorised her delectable honey-toned face, her satiny forehead, rich chocolate brown eyes with sexy lashes, sculptured cheeks, luscious lips, and round chin. The combination was an enticement he was powerless to resist. Leaning into the woman, he inhaled. Her sweet, musky arousal filled his senses. Silent, he pulled her to him. The woman came to him. Swivelling his hips, he felt her body against his. A harsh breath escaped the sensual vixen who had captured him in her thrall. Countering his movement, he held her hips. The woman followed his motions moving against his rapidly hardening erection.
He raised a hand and lifted her long braided dark reddish brown hair from her shoulder. Still moving in time with the music, Kariati lifted the edge of her braid to his cheek and stroked it along his face. He purred at the silkiness against his skin. The woman moaned softly. He put one hand behind her back, pulling her closer to him and smiled.
Halle took a breath. His heady masculine scent cloyed around her, invading her senses. When she had seen the man by the door watching her, she’d been ensnared by his powerful presence. Even from across the room, she had felt his eyes on her almost like a physical touch. He strode towards her with a confident arrogance she had found intoxicating. Each step was like a sexual movement that made her pussy pulse with wetness, preparing for his taking. The closer he came the more she wanted to be in his arms. It wasn’t until he was closer that she saw his face. She’d locked her knees to keep from falling. His sun-kissed skin made her tongue ache to lick every part she could. His thick curly lashes framed his intense blue-green gaze. The hunger in his eyes had almost brought her to her knees. Harsh planes of desire had carved his perfectly put together features—broad forehead, chiselled cheeks, lush lips and slightly pointed chin—into a savage look.
When he had partially closed his eyes and inhaled, she had gone weak. His forceful grip had kept her standing. Her pussy creamed even more at the brush of his hands on her ass. Halle had been powerless to do anything but move in time with the wanton sway of his hips. The length of his cock had rubbed against her slacks, burning a trail of heat. Cuddling into his hard masculine body she noted how they fit together. At her height of six feet it was hard to find a man who was so much taller than her. It created a feeling of fragile feminine awareness she had never experienced before. He had taken her braid and stroked it against his face. She moaned at the purr that rumbled out of his massive chest. His hot hand cupped her back, holding her close.
Reaching up, she grabbed his inky black hair. Whatever held it gave way and his hair covered her fingers. Staring into his eyes she stood on tiptoe and sealed her lips to his. The man’s decadent chuckle filled her mouth.
So soft. His lips are so soft. Murmuring she leaned into him.

Between the Covers – Firestorm Encounters
Today's Between the Covers is an excerpt from my upcoming book.
Here is a excerpt from Firestorm Encounters (Phoenix Intelligence Agency, Book # 5). Enjoy.
Fyodor felt her appear in his house. He slid the chicken onto the plate and set it on the counter before retrieving another plate and starting to fill it.
“Something smells good,” Kaitya said.
“I hope so—after all, I slaved over the stove to make food for my older woman.” He chuckled.
“I see it amuses you that I’m older.” Kaitya sounded closer.
She slid her hand along his back. He pressed into her touch. Turning his head, he looked into her eyes. She lifted her head and he met her, kissing her gently. She made a humming sound then pulled back.
“I see you have your supposed control in place.”
“And from your expression, you’re going to do everything to break it.”
“You betcha, buddy.” She patted his back then went to island and sat on a high-backed stool.
Fyodor chuckled and returned to putting food on the plate. After it was fixed, he set it down then asked, “What do you want to drink?”
“Some iced tea, if you have it.”
“Sure I do.” He went to the fridge to get it then grabbed two glasses.
He set it on the counter between them then took a seat beside her. When he did, Kaitya placed her hand on his thigh. Fyodor stilled then breathed in. That was a mistake, as her scent of wild winds and rain filled him.
“Are you trying to seduce me?”
“You’d know it if I was,” Kaitya said then looked deliberately at her hand on his leg then his face. “Is this bothering you? I did tell you I would touch you when I wanted to.”
“It is fine.” He picked up his fork. “Tell me about your day.”
“I will later.” Kaitya lifted her utensil too. “But first I want to hear about yours—where you went and the Shadowers you visited. I want to know that every time you go somewhere.”
“Why?”
“I need to know the people of my bond shadow.” Her answer pleased him and he filled her in.

Ink Motions with Rosanna Leo
A multi-published author of sexy romances, Rosanna writes for Samhain Publishing and Liquid Silver Books.
She is a married mom of two boys and living her dream. Having been obsessed with romance literature ever since she read Jane Eyre in grade six, her path was clear. However, she managed to take a few detours along the way, working in fields such as recruiting, customer service and classical singing.
Rosanna was born and bred in Toronto, Canada. When Liquid Silver Books accepted her first manuscript, she became a slave to the Muse and many lovable Alpha males. Rosanna blogs here as well as with Love, Lust and Laptops. http://lovelustandlaptops.wordpress.com/
Ink Motions - Interview
How do you get an idea for your novel?
My “plot bunnies” come from many different directions. When I am in paranormal romance mode, I might be inspired by a character from mythology or wonder what it might be like to possess supernatural powers. However, I would say my stories always begin with the main couple. I envision my hero and heroine and try to come up with characters who will have great friction between them, as well as tremendous chemistry.
What is your writing style? Do you just sit down and write or do you create
Bums in seats does it every time for me. For the most part, I create a loose outline, I note which events need to occur, and I write. I don’t worry too much about style until I go back and edit. I think my voice is rather natural anyway, and I don’t tend to get too flowery.
Who is the "Writing Muse" in your life? I.E. who gets your juices flowing?
That’s a great question, but I wouldn’t say I have one muse. I might draw inspiration from a face I see in the crowd, a photo or a work of art. However, for the most part, I’m motivated by the crazy voices in my head. A character occurs to me and I find I just need to tell his or her story. I guess you could say I’ve capitalized on the deranged dialogue inside my head.
How many novels have you written including all work in progresses you are currently working on?
(Counts on fingers) Let’s see. I’ve published 11 romances, as well as 2 anthologies with my fellow authors from the Love, Lust and Laptops blog. I have two contemporaries coming out in the next few months. The Stand-In will be published by Liquid Silver Books in February, and Vice will be published by Samhain Publishing summer 2015. And I have several more on the go!
Who is your "writing idol"? I.E. Who do you like and what is it about their writing that captures your soul?
Kudos to the marvelous Diana Gabaldon, my all-time favorite, for her attention to detail and ability to create the sexiest hero of all time. However, I also love L. Marie Adeline, Karen Robards and Meg Cabot for creating such fun worlds.
What is you favorite plot line type?
One that keeps the reader guessing, no matter the genre. Any author who can keep me turning pages by amping up the suspense is fine by me.
Is there any advice you can offer to anyone who would like to write?
Learn everything you can, absorb what the experts have done, but be true to your own voice. Your voice will never let you down.
What is a good villain?
Ooh, one of my favorite topics. A villain, in my opinion, should be capable of great magnetism. After all, no one is completely black or white. Our villains should be a little conflicted, they should show potential for goodness, just as our heroes can often possess a bit of darkness. This dichotomy is what makes them so appealing. You want to hate them, but also want to redeem them.
Blurb:
When Nina Suzuki discovers the body of her best friend Janine, her world turns upside down. Things go from bad to worse when Janine’s corpse seems to transform into that of a large, brown wolf. For the first time, Nina is faced to confront all the clues indicating her BFF was not what she seemed. A letter from the dead woman opens Nina’s eyes to a strange, new world. The same letter warns of a sinister group called the Alpha Brethren, and urges her to find Killian Moon of the Ursa Fishing Lodge and Resort on Gemini Island.
Killian Moon is a jaguar shifter and teen mentor at the Ursa Lodge in Northern Ontario. He may be a comfort and inspiration to confused teen shifters, but he also has a fiery past. His past comes back to haunt him when human Nina arrives at the resort, demanding to speak with him. Demanding answers. Can he trust her with knowledge that will not only change her life, but possibly endanger those around him?
As Killian begrudgingly tutors Nina on all things shifter, their mutual curiosity flares into passionate need. Once they touch, once they succumb to desire, there is no going back. Killian realizes Nina is his mate and they both begin to comprehend the terror threatening those on their shifter-friendly island. He is forced to confront the tragedy in his family and determines to protect Nina at all costs.
But can they protect everyone they love from a cult of dangerous shifters, intent on horror and destruction?
Excerpt:
“How much longer do I have to wait? I want to see Killian Moon. Now.”
The feminine voice, strangely soft despite its insistence, echoed deep in his being, awakening his jaguar. The great cat roared to life, turned toward the office and inhaled deeply. Its eyes flashed in interest.
In...recognition?
Killian breathed in at the same time, catching the scent of cherry blossoms through the door. The sweet perfume, mixed with human outrage, proved a heady distraction, making him forget why he was there. Shaking his head, he tried to dismiss the odd sensation as Ryland opened the door.
The door swung open and the first person he glimpsed was one of the clerks from reception, trying his hardest to placate the unexpected guest. “I’m sure Mr. Snow and Mr. Moon will be right back.”
And then his gaze landed on the petite human. Tapered Asian eyes, so dark and mysterious, but rimmed with circles of exhaustion. Smooth, cinnamon skin hinted at a mixed background. Wearing no makeup, she appeared younger than she must be, but her presence and keen eyes pegged her at around thirty years old. She had a riot of curly, black hair and feminine curves that ought to come with a warning. He could see it now. Beware: this woman’s body will cause insanity in men. Even as she gesticulated at the clerk, her boobs jiggled in such a way his throat went dry.
He pictured her in a corset, her breasts spilling over delicate lace edging, and almost forgot his name.
This Nina Suzuki was damn hot and his jaguar seemed to agree. The animal licked its lips, its golden gaze assessing and appreciating every detail, from her rounded hips to her come-hither rack.
Yes, the creature uttered on a frenzied breath.

What do you do when you find a man who sets your senses aflame but being with him could cause repercussions?
Kaitya Erutan is finally at ease with her two sides—Amazonian Warrior and Firebird—and she doesn’t need complications. Yet a little quirk of fate makes her realize what she wants. She’s overcome by desire burning through her when she sees him—a man who sets her pulse racing. Sometimes life throws the most pleasurable of curves, and Kaitya isn’t about to let this sexy man go. Be it destiny or something else, she doesn’t care—all she knows is he will be hers—and she his—in every sense of the word.
Fyodor, the Shadow King, has responsibilities to his people who have been displaced by a madman’s plan. Breaking out of the shadow of his father’s deception is a tough undertaking—his focus is on the task and he doesn’t need any distractions. From the moment he arrives at the Phoenix Intelligence Agency, he realizes he might not want anything to shift his attention. But he is about to get it. Kaitya resonates in his shadow and she will not be denied. Not that he could resist her—Kaitya’s deceptively laid-back attitude hides the core of a woman who is as determined and stubborn as he is. Her beauty is surpassed only by the depths of her soul. Kaitya is out to have everything he can give and demand that he go even further.
Each action and choice will change the course of their lives. They will need each other to face whatever comes. When will meets passion it will blaze under firestorm encounters.

Between the Covers – Firestorm Encounters
Today's Between the Covers is an excerpt from my upcoming book.
Here is a excerpt from Firestorm Encounters (Phoenix Intelligence Agency, Book # 5). Enjoy.
Fyodor shimmered into Kaitya’s office. He nodded at the guards and they took their leave. Turning, he held back a smile as he saw the look on her face. Kaitya’s eyes were narrowed and she crossed her arms over her chest where she sat behind her desk.
“Before you yell at me for being overprotective and that you can take care of yourself, I need to do something.” He went to her.
Kaitya rose, her brow wrinkled. “What—?”
He pulled her to him and kissed her. Kaitya tensed briefly then she opened up. At the first taste of her, passion flared through him and he had to have her. Kaitya gripped his shoulder and moaned. Coming back to his senses, Fyodor slowly and reluctantly pulled away. Unable to resist, he kissed her gently once more then stepped back.
“Now you can yell at me.” He smiled.
Kaitya’s passion-glazed gaze cleared then she narrowed her eyes. “After a kiss like that, you want me to talk, much less yell?”
“Note to self, kissing will make Kaitya more agreeable to what you want.”
“Note to Fyodor’s self, don’t bet on it.” Kaitya snorted. “I can yell at you later. Kiss me again.”
“If I kiss you again, I’ll take you. Let me get a little control first then I’ll be happy to kiss you.” Fyodor wet his lips.
“And I’m not disagreeing with having you do that.” Kaitya stared at his lips. “Hell, I’m ready for it.”

Ink Motions with Valentina Heart
Valentina Heart lives in different locations in Split, at the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Like the directions of her stories, her life takes a new twist with every passing year, and she welcomes every single one.
As an avid reader for many years, she had a habit of mixing fiction with reality, until she realized she could simply breathe life to her characters and make them as real as they could get. From forever romantic to deeply troubled, they bring joy to their creator, just as they sometimes bring frustration with their naughty behavior.
Kinky imagination aside, she enjoys music and movies just as much as reading, but give her summer all year round and she'll be ready to free-climb, swim, or stretch in all those mind-stirring yoga positions.

Ink Motions - Interview
How do you get an idea for your novel?
Danny and Mike was actually my first book. At the time I had trouble finding a lot of m/m stories with a similar subject (I could have pretty much listed the number of authors off the top of my head) and I figured I could write something of my own. As a first one, Danny and Mike is full of little details I’d wanted to see in a book but it’s really not something I could see myself writing about now.
Usually I get ideas everywhere. Books, movies, TV shows, but sometimes I’ll just take some time, sit down, and think about the plot until it all lines up in my head.
What is your writing style? Do you just sit down and write or do you create
I guess it depends on the book. For Mending the Rift series I pretty much only had a vague idea in my head and I started writing about it. That’s how the first book in the series came about. But the next two were both outlined and stressed over, probably more than my other books.
Who is the "Writing Muse" in your life? I.E. who gets your juices flowing when
I don’t think I have one. As a rather solitary person, I spend a lot of time with my own thoughts. It’s amazing how many things you can get up to when there’s no one around to keep you in check lol
How many novels have you written including all work in progresses you are currently working on?
Omg, okay. There have been thirteen published stories, three short and free ones written for a Goodreads group, one finished but not sent to the publisher as of yet and about eight WIPs I see actually going somewhere.
Who is your "writing idol"? I.E. Who do you like and what is it about there writing that captures your soul?
There are actually a lot of authors I like and whose books speak to me in a way. Of course that doesn’t mean I could ever write like them. I guess all of us have our own style and it’s really not something you can escape from.
My first instinct, without a lot of thought, tells me to go with Laurell K. Hamilton. She has a certain motion in her books, where there’s never a quiet period and all the characters and the plot are constantly moving along. I love her strong MCs as well as how there’s never just a typical ‘boy meets girl’ charm to it, but rather all the unconventional pairings you can think of.
What is you favorite plot line type?
Well, my books are all pretty much along the lines of ‘boy meets boy’. I write romance and that’s probably the only set guideline – you have to have a solid romance with a preferable HEA. Now my stories are all very diverse. I tend to go from one extreme to the next and I can’t say I’m afraid to write about sex, incest, rape. Instead I prefer to push at the boundaries and see where it gets me.
One thing that does seem to be a constant is my penchant for shifters. I’ve written a few books on the subject already, but I still have a few started or just teasing at me. It’s slowly becoming an addiction.
Is there any advice you can offer to anyone who would like to write?
My advice would be to persist at it. But that goes in most situations life throws at us. If you really want something you have to give it your best, even when you feel there’s nothing else to give.
What is a good villain?
Probably someone who makes you hate him with every turned page lol When I’m reading a book, I like the bad guys who are smart and a bit evil. I can dislike them all I want, but if I’m afraid for the MCs in the middle of the book because of that bad guy it usually means the author did their job. Still, I do prefer MCs who are a bit naughty, a bit rude and in general have that ‘bad boy’ vibe instead of an evil genius set on destroying lives.
"When are you leaving?" I asked him with my back turned.
"Not for a few hours still. Danny, look at me."
I didn't really want to. He could read my face like a picture book, and there were some things I wanted to hide. But turn I did, and when I looked into his warm, caring eyes, I realized they hadn't changed. He still looked at me the same, and he was still the same guy.
"You're the only one I want. There's no need for jealousy."
I knew he was right, of course, but I still couldn't help myself. I was deadly afraid that he would leave me, and there was nothing in the world that could dissuade me from it. "I can't help it. There's so many things running through my head right now, and I can't help the way I feel about it."
"Okay, we can work with that. Tell me what's bothering you, and I'll help you through it. Just be honest."
It wasn't an ideal situation, certainly not something I was thrilled to talk about, but I didn't see a different solution to solving our disagreement, so talking it was. "You say you're attracted to women, too. How do I know you won't pick her over me?"
He looked dumbstruck for a moment and his expression almost made me laugh. It wasn't a look I saw on his face often.
"The same way you know I won't pick any other man instead of you. There's no choice for me anymore. It's you or no one. You're the one I fell in love with, and it doesn't matter how handsome someone else is, they can't measure up to you, sweets." He pointed to his groin. "This is what you do to me every time I see you. I want you more than I've ever wanted anyone else in my life. You're the only one who leaves me speechless, horny, and head over heels in love.
Believe in your worth."
Blurb
Sometimes love can be found in the most unlikely places, or so Danny discovers once he finds himself in a bar brawl. With a life of abuse behind him, he's more than ready for a new, happier start and Mike seems to be exactly what his damaged soul needs.
With a completely different background, Mike is close to a ray of sunshine. Always optimistic and happy, he anchors Danny and shows him life can be about love instead of hate.
But chapters of the past are rarely completely closed, and once Danny's nightmares come back into his life he has to make a choice—to fight or to save the one who showed him life is worth living.
CONTENT ADVISORY: This title contains a HFN ending, violence and explicit rape scenes.
