For One Dark Knight by Ava James

Filed under: Writers, Writing — jambrea @ 8:00 am

A friend is a little busy so I told her I would help by posting a little about her new release!

AVAILABLE: Tuesday, September 29th

aj-fodk[1]Past the suitable age for marriage, Lady Isobel longs for her life to begin. When the chance to flee the clutches of her misery arises, she sets out on a journey to her dower lands and childhood home. But no road is without its perils, and she soon finds she needs someone by her side. Sir Robert de Gever’s duties become vastly more complicated when Lady Isobel stumbles into his life in need of rescue. Questions arise and secrets run deep, leaving desire and suspicion to war within him. Intrigue awaits the pair, and conspirators abound. Is the bond of one dark night spent together strong enough to save them from their fears?

For One Dark Knight Available in: Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Reader, HTML, Mobipocket Price: $5.50

Excerpt:

He wished he could keep her locked away—far, far away. The woman looked as though she were arming herself for battle. Her sweet smiles changed the instant the last of the men quit the room.

“What is the matter?” Isobel asked with a clipped tone.

“What is the matter?” Robert began his counterattack in falsetto. “Where should I start? My men have all left their posts, and training, to come to the beck and call of the devilish temptress besieging Durham .” He watched her eyes grow wide as he spoke. How was it that even now, he could think of nothing but her lips?

“Devilish temptress? If I tempted any man, it was in no way intentional, and in every way a result of the man’s baser interests.” Isobel took a challenging step toward him. She accused him with her eyes and her words. “Furthermore, if it weren’t for yer noble act of imprisonment, I would not be here!”

Robert stepped closer to her. Her feminine scent wafted into his nostrils. She easily broke his train of thought. The aroma that lingered about her intoxicated his senses. Beyond doubt, she was a foul temptress! With every attempt to ignore her, he failed miserably. Each time he was in her presence she distracted him. If it was not her beauty that caught his attention, it was her voice and words. The woman drew him in and he did not care to be so affected by her. He needed to reign in his thoughts and focus. Focus, focus. In a much calmer voice he said, “Would ye rather I left ye to be ravished by those Saxon mercenaries?” He took another step closer to her as he spoke. He watched her gaze fall to his lips. Her pink tongue crossed her own bottom lip, and a blush came to her soft cheeks. God’s wounds, he felt too much for this lady. She drew away.

“Ravished by those Saxons is not what I want.” Her voice weak, and unusually breathy, he wondered just who she’d like to be ravished by.

His own errant mind conjured up dangerous visions of her naked body slick against his own. He couldn’t help himself, so he asked just what he’d been wondering. “What do ye want?”

Winner and other News

Filed under: Writers, Writing — jambrea @ 12:57 pm

overthemoon_800[1]I emailed the individuals who entered my contest and let the winner know. I hope they like the notebook!

Other news….I got the cover for my November 16 release, Dreams. It is part of an anthology! I don’t know how long some of you have been reading my blog, but Dreams is the story I worked on and submitted to Samhain. It was turned down and when I took a fresh look, I could see why. I reworked it and Total E-Bound picked it up for the anthology. I’m VERY excited. I’m hoping we can get enough people to buy it that it goes to print!  How exciting would it be for the first story I wrote to be my first print book?! 

I share this anthology with some great authors. I’m very excited.  :)

Spotlight 11 – Lexxie Couper

Filed under: Uncategorized — jambrea @ 1:53 pm

Hmmm….I don’t remember that name before? How about you guys.  I looked and looked and didn’t see her on the list as a memeber at International Heat…but….wait…Oh….there it is!  heehee  It COULD be because Lexxie is the newest member of International Heat.  Here is what she has to say on the about page of IH:

Lexxie Couper (Newcastle, Down Under) is not a deviant. She just has a deviant’s imagination and is a little disturbed and twisted. She tends to live in the dark places inside your mind and takes great delight in making you squirm in your seat – in more ways than one. When she was little she wanted to be Stephen King when she grew up. Now she wants to be an extra on Chuck.

I have run across Lexx a couple of times over at the Samhain Yahoo Group and she is a LOT of fun to talk to. She is a great addition and I can’t wait to get to know her better!

Good Luck and for another chance to win go comment on the following blogs:

Save a Horse…

Filed under: Contest, Writers, Writing — jambrea @ 2:47 am

Vivian Arend is hosting a Cowboy Countdown Contest and she’s popped in today to ask us to join her in getting ready for her latest release, Rocky Mountain Heat coming August 31st to Liquid Silver Books. And she’s got a question for us:

Have you ever ridden a horse?
Yes…but I’ve never ridden a cowboy.  heehee

Welcome to the Six Pack Ranch, where one sweet young thing plus the Coleman boys equals trouble with a capital T.

Six Pack Ranch, Book 1

Blake Coleman is old enough to know that acting on impulse causes nothing but a heap of trouble. VA_SPR_RockyMountainHeat[1]But when trouble’s a blonde wearing a cowboy hat with slim legs that go on forever, what’s a man to do? Wanting the sweet girl next door is just wrong. Hell, he was the one that taught her to ride a horse and now all he can think about is riding her. The responsible thing to do is keep his hands off.

Jaxi has other plans for his hands, and his heart. She may have considered Blake a big brother once but that was a long time ago. She’s all grown up now and ready to convince him that she’s just what he’s been waiting for.

Add the complication of two sexy younger brothers who have suddenly noticed Jaxi and things heat up fast. Blake’s gonna have to decide if a little trouble is worth fighting for.

Answer the question in the comments to be entered to win the prize in the Cowboy Countdown. For more info you can also visit Where Dreams Become Reality.

Spotlight 10 – Mari Carr

Filed under: Contest, Writers, Writing — jambrea @ 2:14 pm

The wonderful and fabulous Mari Carr. I first met heard about Mari Carr when I did a review at Joyfully for Erotic Research, which I LOVED, and I posted the review for her to see. We chatted back and forth for a bit and one night when things were slow we got to talking about names.  Mari thought hers was plain. Mari then became Essi.  lol So that is why you see me call her that.

Everything I’ve read of hers I have loved. She is such a great writer and is in my top ten favorites. She is also now one of my best friends. I was lucky enough to meet her at Lori’s this year and I can’t wait until next ear to see her again.

I also love to challenge my friend Essi and was rewarded with one of my favorite books of hers, Everything Nice, it was her first m/m/f and you KNOW how much I love those. She did a wonderful job. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite of hers. I loved Retreat. It was SO good. Her new one, Because of You!  OMG….SUCH a great book.   

Now, for a chance to win, leave a comment here and visit all the other sites for more changes. You will LOVE anything she writes.

Spotlight 8 – Jess Dee

Filed under: Contest, Writers, Writing — jambrea @ 3:11 pm

Jess Dee….Oh…Jess Dee. I’m trying to remember when I first met Ms. Dee. I’m sure it was through the Samhain Yahoo Group. I KNOW I’ve reviewed her wonderful books. But those two reasons are not the only reason I love Jess Dee. I finally started working on my first story. I had a wow moment when I finished it. I’m not sure how the conversation came about, but Jess Dee, THE Jess Dee offered to look at it. I sent her Dreams. She offered some awesome advice and helped me start my path to publishing. Now, the story she helped me with is getting ready for a November release. Too crazy!

Jess is always there to help and I love her for it. Now…how to score a ticket to visit her. V and I tried to get her to pick up the tab, I think I need to get back to her on that. heehee Usually when she has a new release you can see us on the cafe teasing back and forth about it. It’s FUN! :)

So congrats Jess Dee on all your success and I’m wishing you so much more!

All of these books can be found at Samhain Publishing

askadamphotoopstevetyler

Jess also contributed to Samhain’s Menage and More anthology. Her story A Question of Trust is available in ebook or you can now find it in print in a story called Three’s Company (Jayne’s story Nice and Naughty is in there as well!)

question of trustthree

She also has a story available in the Boys Down Under anthology at Aspen Mountain Press. IH’s very own Valerie Tibbs designed the cover! Gorgeous!

Spotlight Seven – Me!

Filed under: Contest, Writers, Writing — jambrea @ 4:02 am

Yep.  I have to spotlight myself.  lol  I usually like to stay behind the spotlight. I’m more comfortable being the cheerleader for others.  :D

I’ve had a REALLY good year and hope to finish it out strong. It is still hard for me to believe that I’m a published author, but it’s true.  lol  I have two shorts already released, Forever Guy  – in the One Touch, One Glance Anthology and Runaway Man. Both from Freya’s Bower. You can also find them at Fiction Wise. If you win you’ll have your pick between the two. If you’ve read them….I’ll think of something else to do for you.  :)

Coming soon, I have three stories. Unseen Path from eXtasy, Dreams from Total eBound and Semper Fi: Magnus from Liquid Silver. I have a couple others that MIGHT come out this year, but I’m not sure yet. If not…next year should be even better!

I feel so blessed to be in this business and to have met all the people that I have. The International Heat woman have been great!

Comment here for a chance to win and for other chances, check out the other spotlights!  Thanks for stopping by! And if you’ve commented before, remember to stop by the International Heat blog to see if you’re a winner!  :)
