When Samantha (aka Sam) finds herself falling in love with not one, but two men she’s been having a no-strings ménage relationship with, she decides splitting up is the right thing to do. Jordan and Alex refuse to commit, but Sam needs more stability in her life, especially when she finds out she is about to take on a whole lot more responsibility.

Jordan and Alex grew up together in a small town of jaguar shifters, where being a half-blood was looked down upon, even by their own fathers. Once they became adults, they left their community and joined a secret military operation call the Alpha Division, a team of shifters keeping the peace with any means necessary, and their next mission comes close to home. Both men feel they have too many secrets for commitment, but at the same time cannot stand the thought of losing Sam.

When Jordan and Alex’s past comes back to haunt them, a possible traitor on the team threatens the woman they love and a future they have never dreamt. Once secrets are revealed, can the three of them forget the past and forgive the lies or will fear drive them further apart?

Blurb:

Detective Charlie McClung no longer finds his job fulfilling and has given up finding that “someone” his granny promised he’d find. So he leaves behind the big city and his close-knit family and takes a job in a small town police department in Georgia, resigned to live a quiet life in solitude.

Things change when he meets Marian Selby while investigating the mysterious death of her best friend. But Marian swore never to love again after the death of her husband 11 years ago. What seems to be a suicide turns into a tangled web of deceit, corruption, and complicated shadows.

Can the two of them come to grips with their feelings for each other before the killer closes in on them?

Buy on Amazon | Buy on Barnes & Noble

 

From the author: “Brilliant Disguise” is the first book in The Charlie McClung Mysteries. The second book, “A Good Girl”, will be released September 23rd. The third book, “Criminal Kind”, should be released in April 2015. There will be a total of ten books in the series, maybe more.

The setting for most of the books take place in a small town in Georgia during the early 80s. The genre of the books is hard to put into one category. They are a blend of mystery, romance, and some say women’s fiction. They are more traditional mysteries than cozy. My writing style has been compared to Agatha Christie and Donald Bain.

Worst epic fail of her scientific career? Falling for a cyborg she helped create.

Dr. Kyra Winters never meant for her cyber science discoveries to be used for evil, but that’s exactly what happened.

She can only change the present by restoring the cyborg who was once Marine Captain Peyton Elliot.

Madly kissing the confused, passionate Marine was a huge mistake. Her rational mind warned her not to let any of Peyton’s tempting offers cloud her decision making. But Kyra finds it difficult to resist when Peyton turns out to be the most intriguing man she’s ever met.

Now partially restored, Peyton thinks he’s a soldier still at war. But no matter how tempting it is to let him keep believing that illusion, Kyra knows she can’t keep the last decade a secret from him forever.

The next day, Cassius was still berating himself. After making the decision to ask Carina out, things had gone spectacularly wrong. The kettle had barely boiled when she’d shouted to him. He’d gone back into the living room to find her pulling her socks and boots back on. It seemed she’d made her phone call and discovered that one of her colleagues was in the area, and was going to swing by and pick her up right away. In an extra blow of bad luck—in Cassius’ opinion—the colleague also had a trainee with him, so they’d be picking Carina’s van up at the same time, which meant she had no reason to come back.

Ever since he’d closed the door behind them—having signed for Simon’s parcel—he’d been in a spectacularly bad mood. What made it worse was the fact he had nobody to blame but himself. If he’d just asked her out when he’d first thought about it, then things would have been fine, if she’d said yes, of course. If she’d said no, he’d probably still have been in a bad mood, but at least he’d have known either way. Now he was in the unpleasant situation of having found someone he liked—and it had been a long time since that had happened—and having no way to contact them to ask them out and find out if the feeling was mutual.

He was emptying the dishwasher—and slamming the drawers and cupboard doors much harder than necessary—when a knock came at the door. Sighing, he headed towards the front door, ready to give the door-to-door salesman a piece of his mind before pointing at the sign on the lamppost across the street which declared that he lived in a “No Cold Calling Area.” He wasn’t usually the argumentative or confrontational type, but he relished the opportunity to take his mood out on someone.

Flinging the door open, Cassius froze in his ready-to-rant pose.

Carina stood in front of him, smiling shyly and brandishing a jar of Cadbury’s instant hot chocolate and a bag of mini marshmallows.

“Still up for that hot chocolate?” she said, looking hopeful.

Cassius’ awful mood dissipated as if it had never been there. He sent up a silent prayer of thanks to any deity that might be listening, then stood back and gestured Carina inside.

She removed her shoes and outerwear in the hallway, then moved into the living room at Cassius’ invitation and sat down. Cassius remained standing.

“So,” he said, realising that in his surprise, he hadn’t actually spoken to her yet, “what brings you here? And how’s the ankle?”

“Much better, thank you. I took your advice and rested up yesterday. I woke up this morning fully intending to call in sick if I was still in pain, but I’m absolutely fine. And to answer your other question, I’m here to say thank you. Things went so fast yesterday that I didn’t get chance to thank you properly, or to have a hot chocolate with you. So I’m here to do both, if that’s okay with you. I’m not keeping you from anything, am I?” She looked around, as if looking for evidence of what he’d been doing before she knocked on the door.

Keeping Nice and Toasty This Blissemas

banner-hunk

wristwarmersIf you’ve stopped by this site before, particularly last Blissemas, you’ll know I’m not a fan of winter. I don’t like the cold, I don’t like snow and ice, and I can’t stand the shorter days and dark nights. Brr. However, this year I’ve picked up a new hobby that will help me counteract the cold part – knitting! I used to knit when I was younger, but then I stopped and forgot how to do it. I was recently re-taught and I became hooked. So far I’ve knitted teddies for charity, an iPhone case, a Kindle Fire case and some wrist warmers – which are great for when I’m working on the laptop because I can still use the mouse and keyboard easily, but I’m kept nice and toasty. What do you think?

I’m now working on a Christmas Elf which is a little more difficult than anything I’ve attempted so far, but fingers crossed I’ll achieve it. Then I’m making a cardigan, also to keep me nice and warm. It’ll be a big project, but hey, the winter in this country lasts until March/April time so once it’s done I’ll definitely get some wear out of it 😉 I will defeat you, winter, I will!

And, if you want to see how I managed to turn chilly weather, snow and ice into an erotic story, check out my erotic romance novella, Reindeer Games: Cupid.

A Quick Update

Hi everyone,

nanoJust swinging by with a quick update. I know I’ve been quiet over the past few days, but I’ve had good reason! I’m taking part in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) which is basically where you have to write 50,000 words in a month. I’m having to squeeze that into weekdays, as I don’t work or write at weekends. Hence the quietness 😀

I’m doing well so far, though, being slightly over target of writing 2.5k a day. My WIP is called The Persecution of the Wolves and is an paranormal erotic romance thriller – so something a little bit different for me. At this stage, I’m hopeful I’ll complete the challenge of 50k this month, and after that I’m hoping to finish the entire book by the end of the year. Then, if all goes well I’ll have it edited and beta-read by the end of January and ready to go to a publisher. That’s in an ideal world, of course, as I have to juggle my writing around my business, Writer Marketing Services.

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know why I’m so quiet just now. I have some new releases and fabulous guest bloggers coming up, though, so it won’t be quiet here for long.

If you want to check out my progress or “buddy” me on the NaNoWriMo site, I’m here. Also you see my progress in the widget on the right hand side of the page, at the top.

In the meantime, happy reading!

Hot Halloween Heroes

Sorry my post is late – I got stuck in all the havoc in London, UK, with the storms and am just home and catching up. So, here goes – here’s the blurb for one of my favourite paranormal romances, which I just happened to write 😉 You can be in with a chance of winning a copy by using the Rafflecopter. Good luck!

As a postman by day, and one of Santa’s reindeer on a single very special night, Cassius Cupid eats, sleeps, and breathes deliveries. He doesn’t mind, but sometimes wishes that someone would send him something more exciting than bills and junk mail.

One cold January morning, Cassius gets his wish. A young woman arrives with a parcel. Turns out it’s for his housemate – but Cassius doesn’t care. All he’s interested in is Carina – the beautiful female courier.

Has Cupid finally met his match?
