Hi everyone,
I’m delighted to announce that my story from the Duty Bound anthology, Chasing the Chambermaid, is now available as a standalone book! In case you haven’t heard about it already, it’s a standalone contemporary reverse harem romance. The story is the same as in the anthology, so if you read it there, no need to buy it again (though I’d looove a review on the new book page, if you have a moment). It will be available in Kindle Unlimited for one term, then I’ll be putting it up on other retailers, so if you’re a KU reader, get in there quick!
Blurb:
Can an exciting new outlook on life help Connie heal her damaged heart?
Connie White is running away from an abusive relationship. Fear and desperation have driven her to Bowdley Hall Hotel in the Scottish Highlands, where, despite an unceremonious start, she appears to have fallen on her feet. The owner, Frances McKenzie, is kind and understanding, and seems happy for Connie to hide out in her hotel for a while.
With a roof over her head and a job as a chambermaid, Connie is in a better situation than she could ever have hoped for. Her workmates seem nice, but she’s determined to keep them at arm’s length. After all, how can she form connections if she’s unwilling to divulge anything about herself?
Her apparent mysteriousness doesn’t faze her gorgeous new colleagues Will MacIntyre, Nico Moretti, and Ashley Fox. All three show a keen interest in her, but Connie has absolutely no intention of going there. She hasn’t fled one relationship, only to get involved with someone else, no matter how gorgeous. She simply isn’t ready for that.
When an epiphany of sorts makes her realise she’s living a half-life by keeping herself so cut off from everyone, she finally lets someone in. That someone shows her there can be something between singledom and a full-on relationship. And when casual dating is on the cards, anything is possible…

Description:
An all-new STANDALONE from New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent
It all started with the wrong Help Wanted ad. Of course it did.
I’m a professional fluffer. It’s NOT what you think. I stage homes for a living. Real estate agents love me, and my work stands on its own merits.
Sigh. Get your mind out of the gutter. Go ahead. Laugh. I’ll wait.
See? That’s the problem. My career has used the term “fluffer” for decades. I didn’t even know there was a more… lascivious definition of the term.
Until it was too late.
The ad for a “professional fluffer” on Craigslist seemed like divine intervention. My last unemployment check was in the bank. I was desperate. Rent was due. The ad said cash paid at the end of the day.
The perfect job!
Staging homes means showing your best angle. The same principle applies in making a certain kind of movie. Turns out a “fluffer” doesn’t arrange decorative pillows on a couch.
They arrange other soft, round-ish objects.
The job isn’t hard. Er, I mean, it is — it’s about being hard. Or, well… helping other people to be hard.
Oh, man…
And that’s the other problem. A man. No, not one of the stars on the movie set. Will Lotham – my high school crush. The owner of the house where we’re filming. Illegally. In a vacation rental.
By the time the cops show up, what I thought was just a great house staging gig turned into a nightmare involving pictures of me with an undressed naked star, Will rescuing me from an arrest, and a humiliating lesson in my own naivete.
My job turned out to be so much harder than I expected. But you know what’s easier than I ever imagined?
Having all my dreams come true.

Excerpt:
“You’re changing the subject.”
“How do you know that’s what I’m doing?”
“Because you have this thing you do when you get nervous. You did it in high school and you’re doing it now.”
“What’s that?”
“You start cracking your knuckles. One by one.”
He halts mid-crack on his ring finger. His bare ring finger.
Will looks down. A slow smile pulls at his lips. “You’re right. I do.” Our eyes meet. “How did you know?”
“I sat behind you in nearly every honors class, Will. I’ve watched you answer countless questions from teachers. And every time you didn’t know the answer, you cracked your knuckles. One”–I crack my index finger–“by”–I crack my middle finger–“one.” My ring finger won’t snap.
He waits.
“You spent a lot of time paying attention to me, Mallory.”
“I sat behind you. It’s not like I could stare at your ass all day. I had to have something else to look at.”
“You stared at my ass?”
“It was two feet in front of me! Four classes a day!” I start to sweat. The memory of him in football uniform pants. Oh, sweet ice cream fairy, deliver me from evil.
“You okay? You look,” he says, stepping closer, “a little disturbed.”
“I’m fine.”
“Hot, even.” The rise and fall of his chest pauses after those words, as if he’s holding his breath, too.

Hi everyone,
I’m delighted to announce that my M/F erotic romance novella, A French Affair, has been re-launched (with the exception of US and Canada – long story!) with a brand new cover. It’s also been re-edited and updated. This one has been out a while so it was nice to give it a polish.
Here’s what it’s all about:
How will she react when she learns the truth about him?
Sydney Tyler is renting a barn conversion in Northern France, planning to spend the fortnight getting some words down on her novel. Unfortunately, construction work in the other half of the building puts an end to her peace and quiet. Genuinely upset that the builders are going to disturb her, the property’s handsome English owner, Harry Bay, offers to make it up to her. He’s a little flirtatious, and after spotting his wedding ring, Sydney keeps him at arm’s length. Sexy as he is, she has no intention of getting involved with a married man. But when Sydney learns the truth about Harry, will their mutual attraction spur them on to work through their emotional baggage and make this more than just a French affair?

Hi, I’m Carrie. I publish under two pseudonyms, Carrie Whitethorne, for my paranormal and urban fantasy romance, and Shae Banks for my more contemporary work.
I wasn’t always a writer. I was supposed to be a nurse. Instead I took a completely different path.
I followed my heart. How many eighteen-year-old girls do that and it ends in disaster?
I could have become a statistic. Instead, after weathering the storms that come with ten years of marriage, we were stronger than ever. Decisions were made, I become a mother, and every hard lesson I learned over the years turned out to be a training exercise for some of the most difficult days of my life.
Fast forward a few more years and my children were going to school, one of them against all odds, and after a minor incident one morning I found myself sitting at the laptop, writing.
It poured from me. I didn’t have the first clue how to write a novel. I’d always been an avid reader, but I wasn’t a writer. The short stories I wrote as a child were just something I did to pass the time. I didn’t have the experience or the ability.
Then, late 2016, I read an article about self publishing on Amazon.
By this time I had two books written, a third in progress, just sitting on my laptop and thought “what the hell? Even if I don’t sell any at least I can say I published a book,” and so the Riftkeepers series was born.
It’s been three years. I’m a USA Today Bestselling Author. I have the bug and I couldn’t stop writing now if I tried.
I have two completed series spanning nine books under Carrie Whitethorne’s belt and a third publishing later this year.
Shae banks has two books published over two series and I’m enjoying the new venture as much as I did the first time.
It hasn’t been an easy road, but the experience has been worth every trial.
I have my first signing in Sheffield (UK) this June. I’ll be fan girling all over the place, but I don’t care. This is me being where I never thought I could be.
I don’t want to be anywhere else.

Trickster’s Hunt
Eat, win, get paid, go home.
That was the plan.
I wasn’t looking for guys.
Okay that’s a lie, it’s been a long six months, but I didn’t expect Silas, Rhett, and Amos to turn up.
I don’t believe that stuff just happens.
I didn’t believe in genies, either, until the three of them started disappearing and reappearing at will.
The truth is I wouldn’t be here without them. But sometimes you don’t always appreciate what you have while it’s right in front of you with all that bronze skin and hard abs. There’s something uniquely hot about a guy dressed as a Middle Eastern assassin defending you against an Egyptian God. I have three.
Silas has sworn to protect me. Amos, too.
Rhett… well he can please his miserable self. But they all think I’m someone important. Someone impossible.
They want to stay close.
I can see a number of benefits to having them around but do I really want three genies following my every move?
*****
Trickster’s Guard
Being a Goddess isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
I never said I was perfect. Far from it. And when I sent them away it proved it.
Now my mistakes have caught up with me and I’m wishing I’d done things differently.
Rhett, Amos, and Silas are doing everything they can to uncover the mysteries surrounding our attraction and my role in all of this, but it takes time.
Time we don’t have with a god hunting me down.
Faced with the prospect of losing everyone I love, it’s time for me to step up.
I hold the power to balance the universe.
I just hope I can work out how to access it before we’re found and destroyed.
*****
Trickster’s Consort
Despite the best efforts of the djinn to keep me hidden, Set found me.
I sent him home with a knife in his face.
Does he think he can break into my home, kill my best friend, and get away with it?
Maybe the old me would have let that slide, but I’m not her any more.
I’m not who he thinks I am, either.
I’m something different.
With Amos, Rhett, and Silas at my side I’m going to Duat.
I’m taking back what’s mine.
I’ll make him pay for every life he’s taken. Even if that means razing his world to the ground.
But let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
