Well, here it is!

The Playboy’s Fugitive Bride – Book Three cover is officially on display.  I’m already hard at work on the manuscript, and hope that the story will be as playful as the cover.  After all, Massimo is a playboy, and I expect a lot of fun between him and Nia as they both try to outwit each other.  Believe me, he has his work cut out for him.

I will be posting excerpts along the way, especially on Sneak Peek Sundays, so stay tuned. Until we meet again in Granite Falls, Happy Reading from the other fabulous authors out there.

Head on over to Redefining Perfect with author Sarah Cass and check out what’s going on at her blog.

Enjoy.

The Mogul’s Reluctant Bride – Book Three

Billionaire Bride of Granite Falls Series

Kaya smiled at the thought that she was a woman now—Bryce Fontaine’s woman, his wife in every sense of the word.

She, little insignificant Kaya Brehna from Palm Beach was married to one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world.  And that amazing man had not only shared his body with her, but a part of his heart and soul as well.  He’d opened up to her and told her about his deepest darkest hurts and fears.  He’d cried out his pain in her arms.

She’d given him something of herself she could never give to any other man, and he’d shared something of himself, she was sure he’d chosen not to share with any other woman. That knowledge filled Kaya with insurmountable affection for her husband.

Somewhere, she’d heard that women have sex because they were in love and that men have sex because they were looking for love.  Kaya wasn’t sure about the latter part of that statement and whether or not Bryce was looking for love, but she knew she’d given herself to him because she was in love with him.

As Bryce pushed off the mattress and stood to his feet, Kaya’s eyes were drawn to the corded muscles of his broad shoulders and back, his narrow waist that tapered off into the tight sinews of his dimpled buttocks, and the sturdy pillars of his thighs and long hairy legs supporting his humongous frame.  Her heart fluttered as she recalled her heels digging into him, spurring him towards the flaming precipice of passion, roaring all the way like a champion thoroughbred stallion.  She’d satisfied him.  Her smile deepened at the simple awareness.

For a few timeless moments, he stood with his back to her, as if giving her time to admire him before he walked slowly from the room, down the corridor toward the His and Hers dressing suites and bathrooms.

Six Paragraph Sneak Peek Sunday – April 21, 2013

The Mogul’s Reluctant Bride

Book 2 – Billionaire Brides of Granite Falls Series

Bryce opened the door of his dimly lit penthouse to the sensual sounds of soft music floating from the surround sound built-in stereo, and the earthy aroma from pillars of burning candles spicing the air.

He stepped inside and his breath caught in his throat at the sight of his wife leaning against the back of the sofa—one black stiletto clad foot, slightly bend, one hand resting seductively on her thigh, and the other holding a juicy red strawberry, dipped in whipped cream, close to her half-opened mouth.  Her brown curly hair fell like a mystical curtain down the sides of her beautiful face, bounced off her gentle shoulders, and disappeared down the curve of her back.  Her eyes were wide and luminous, and full of enchantment and possibilities.

“Don’t move,” he ordered when she made an attempt to straighten up.  “And don’t talk,” he added when she opened her mouth to speak.

She settled down obediently, but not before she brought the strawberry to her mouth and closed her succulent lips around half of it, a wicked smile flashing in her eyes as she rested her hand quite seductively on her voluptuous cleavage spilling over the top of the pink lacy bodice of her outfit.  She was glowing.

Bryce swore he would have come in his pants if he hadn’t recently taken a cold shower.  He’d been anticipating this moment; he’d left orders for her to follow, and she’d obeyed.  Good girl.  But God, he didn’t expect her to look this freaking tempting and irresistible like a centerfold lingerie model straight out of the latest issue of Victoria’s Secrets.  Bryce didn’t know Kaya was the first thing he would see when he came home, much less find her standing in such a provocative pose.  She must have asked the front desk to let her know when he arrived.  His little recently deflowered bride was staging for him.  He loved it!

She made an erotic picture as she stood there, clad in the flimsy lingerie he’d left on the bed for her to wear—innocent and sinful all at the same time, he thought, admiring the soft curves of her brown body through the black silky mesh that made up the lower half of the garment.  The shapely beauty of her near-nakedness taunted him, and he couldn’t wait to slip her thongs off her hips and down her shapely legs to her ankles.  He knew well the full weight of her firm young breasts in the palms of his hands, and the sleek sensation of her moist heat opening for him like a dewy flower opens its petals to the magic of the morning sun.  Knowing his wife’s copious reservoir of love juices, Bryce could bet that the crotch of that thong was already soaked.  Oh yeah, he was keeping those.

Six-Paragraph, Sneak Peek Sunday – April 14, 2013

The Mogul’s Reluctant Bride

Book Two - Billionaire Brides of Granite Falls Series

He was fully awake.  She could feel the change in the tensing of his body.  Uncertain of what to do, Kaya held her breath and merely stared back at him as the air around them became so charged, it crackled.  She had trespassed into his private world.  A world he allowed no one into.  There would be consequences.

His gaze slid lazily to her mouth.  He raised one hand and brushed his knuckles across her cheek, ever so lightly it sent shivers down her spine.  The gold wedding band on his finger flashed in the firelight, reminding Kaya that she did have the right to trespass.  He rubbed the pad of his thumb across her lips as if testing their subtlety.  The act was erotically simple.

Kaya swallowed, making a loud gulping sound.  “You…  you were hav…  having a nigh—”

“Shh.”  One hand at her neck and shoulders eased her closer.  He took her face in the other and held it gently.  While his fingers tangled in her messy curls, his thumb caressed her cheeks, her chin, the perimeter of her mouth.  His eyes held hers captive as he hesitated, waiting for a sign of resistance.

He always gave her time to back out, except on their wedding night.  She’d rejected him then.  Was he waiting to spare himself another rejection?  She wouldn’t put him through that again, not after what Michelle and Libby had told her.  She had to start taking care of her man like he was taking care of her.

Kaya touched his cheek, liking the feel of his morning stubble and remembering how the tingling sensation had brought her to an orgasm over a month ago.  She remembered thinking how awesomely tantalizing morning sex with him would be.  She just didn’t know that it would be their first time together.  Yes, Kaya realized with infinite clarity, she would make love with her husband.  Tonight.  No man had ever treated her as kindly and respectfully as Bryce.  She trusted him, and she hoped that by giving herself completely to him she could free his soul from the nightmares that plagued it.
