You loved What Happens in Bangkok and want to know what happens next….

It's complicated is not only her relationship status, but the definition of Erika Bailey's life. She loves managing her drag queen club in Bangkok, Thailand, but her rock star boyfriend resides in North Carolina. And to top it off, her father threatens she must stay away from Darien or lose the Pink Flamingo. Does she protect her club or her love?

Darien Scott, Grammy award winning international superstar, wants nothing more than to wake up in the arms of Erika, the woman he loves, but contractual obligations force him to exotic video shoots and an isolated movie set with one of Hollywood's sexiest stars.

With the feeding frenzy of social media trending every aspect of Darien's life—real or not—it's hard for Erika to know the truth. Will she be able to see through the lies and trust Darien? Or will evidence from damaging Internet rumors condemn their relationship?  

Excerpt
"My life was fine until he showed up." Erika wiped the tears off her cheek, then tossed the tissue toward the trash can. It missed and hit the floor.
"Really? Was it?" Sandee pulled another tissue from the box and handed it to her.
Erika thought back to the days before Darien appeared at her club disguised as Apollo. She was lonely, jealous of everyone else who had a special someone in their life, and more than a bit horny. All of which she’d tried unsuccessfully to bury in her work.
She snatched the tissue from his hand. "I hate it when you ask all the right questions." She blew her nose and threw the wad of tissue at the trash can. It bounced off the end and hit the floor.
Sandee snickered. "You weren't on the basketball team, were you?"
Erika grinned and shook her head. "My, however did you guess?"
Sandee chuckled. "I was. Can't think of a better place to be than a room full of boys in shorts and big bouncing balls."
"Darien put you up to this?"
He shrugged. "Sorta. Both he and Brian asked me to have a little tête-à-tête with you. Brian's worried about Darien's drinking, and Darien's confused and hurting."
She played with her thumbnail. The truth was always hard to admit. "I might have overreacted a bit and vented it out toward Darien."
Sandee settled back on Erika's couch. "I love a good story. Start at the beginning. Oh, and include all the sexy parts. I love it when two straights do the nasty."

Author Interview

Tell me about your latest release
Darien's Desire is the second book in the Two Loves One Heart Trilogy. It continues the romance of club owner, Erika Bailey and rock star, Darien Scott. This books throws more curves at them and takes them off to an erotic locale.

Are you working on a new book right now?
The final book of the series is bouncing between editor and myself at the moment- expected Dec release. After that, there is a Christmas short coming out, about a songwriter and a homeless person – obviously a Dec release. There is one book sitting on hard drive that is begging to be written, but I just can't seem to get to it. And several others are waiting.

Are you a morning or night person?

Night owl. According to my mother – even when I was a baby – night owl!


If I wasn't afraid I would _________ (What?)

If I wasn't afraid I would stand up for myself more often. I'm an introvert and a massive wuss.


Someday, I want to _________ (What?)

Touch a cloud. One of those beautiful white summery clouds.


What is the best thing you have done in your life?

Raised my daughter to be a strong independent woman (opposite of her wuss of a mother)


What are your favorite hobbies?

I am addicted to yoga. I also belly dance. And I love to garden and cook.


What are your pet peeves?

Arrogant people. They so annoy me.
Because of the anonymity of the internet, people say the meanest and quite often the stupidest things. That is so irritating.

As a child, what did you wish to become when you grew up?

A cowboy. I didn't understand about gender – I'm a girl but I wanted to be a cowboy. Not a cowgirl.  A cowboy.


If you were to create a slogan for your life, what would it be?
My current mantra is I release my need to be perfcet. It's been known to irritate others because of the typo, but that's there on purpose. Trying to be perfect is impossible and wastes a lot of valuable energy, so I have given myself permission to be imperfect and not worry about it. Remember a few questions higher I said I'm addicted to yoga. That's where I learned how to release my quest for perfection.

Ice Maiden - Can Del Defrost Her? #BDSM #eroticromance #NeverEndingTour



Publisher: Blushing Books
Release date: March 29, 2017
Genre: Contemporary, DD, paranormal romance


Blurb:
As a social blogger, Ronnie Flynn—aloof, beautiful, cool as a cucumber—is desperate to get to the society event of the year: Simon and Sadie’s engagement party on Seguro Island. No surprise that her name isn’t on the guest list, but as always, Ronnie has a backup plan. A plan that involves the handsome Del Franklin.

Del agrees to a swap: Ronnie gives him the scoop on his estranged wife’s dirty secrets and he takes her as his date to his boss’s party. The handsome, buff man of Italian descent makes only one condition: Ronnie better be good. No snooping. No manipulating. No digging for dirt. Or else.
With crossed fingers, and in spite of Del’s threat of putting her over his knee for disobeying, Ronnie ‘promises’ to be a good girl. Right. She’s not worried about Del. Her code of Keeping a Healthy Distance will protect her heart, and her backside. She’s too wily to get caught, anyway.

Ronnie sees. Literally. She can channel people’s feelings and see into their hearts. All her life, she has been hiding this secret weapon—her psychic ability—because what she sees is often too hard understand and impossible to share. If she can handle that secret, surely she can handle Del. Or can she? He’s not like anyone else. Nothing has prepared her for him. She shouldn’t react like this to his dominance. She’s an independent, wealthy woman in her own right. No man will tell her what to do. Yet, there is something about this sexy dominant Latin lover that makes her pulse race.

Will Ronnie allow Del to break her Code of Keeping a Healthy Distance? Will seeing Ronnie open Del’s eyes to a new world? Will the two of them ever see life the same way?

Publishers’ note: Seeing Ronnie is intended for adults only. Spanking and other sexual activities represented in this book are fantasies only, intended for adults. Nothing in this book should be interpreted as Blushing Books’ or the author’s advocating any non-consensual spanking activity or spanking of minors.

Excerpt:

When you’re with me you will be polite and well mannered. Agreed?”
“Agreed.” Ronnie nodded soberly to show her good intentions, but under the table she crossed her fingers.
“You better mean that.” Del drained his coffee cup and levelled his eyes at her. “Because if I catch you prying or snooping—doing anything outside the bounds of good manners—there will be consequences.”
“Consequences?” Ronnie licked a drop of tea off her lips.
“Serious consequences.” The corner of his mouth lifted in a crooked smile. “I will turn you over my knee and paddle your bottom until you beg me to stop. And then I will spank you some more. Do I make myself clear?”
“You do,” Ronnie whispered. A damp flutter clenched between her legs and she pressed her knees together as if she could lock out the desire that suddenly sent her blood boiling. No one had ever threatened her like that before. Worse still, it was as though he was the one with the gift of second sight, as if he’d read her secret intention to ignore everything he’d just said. She glanced over her shoulder to see if anyone might have heard his sultry caution. No one was paying them any attention.
The very worst part was that she had no idea how she was going to turn off the part of her personality that wanted to know everything about everybody. She’d been accused of living through the dramas of other people’s lives and there was more truth to that than she cared to admit. Her own life was dishwater dull and she kept it that way so she had energy for her work as gossip queen. More importantly she kept her life orderly so that there was no mud that could be slung her way. She twisted her tea cup to avoid looking at Del.
“One last problem.” Del spoke as calmly as if he hadn’t just suggested the most erotic thing anyone had put to Ronnie in ten years or so. “I haven’t made a booking and I’m sure every hotel and B&B on the island will be full by now.”
“I have a place we can stay.” Ronnie forced coolness into her voice. She didn’t say it’s a fabulous place and it’s for sale. She’d only seen it in pictures but if it was half as good in real life, she planned to buy it. That was her secret and she wasn’t sharing it with anyone. She held her expression impassive.
“You’ve got a place on Seguro?”
“I wish. This place belongs to friends, but we can use it this weekend. I also have ferry reservations to get us there.” Even if she didn’t get an invitation to the Jacobson bash, she’d planned a weekend on the island to test drive the lake house.
Del lifted an eyebrow. “Separate rooms?”
“Absolutely. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
The memory of the warmth and strength of his hand in hers made her think that sharing a bed with Del Franklin might be pleasurable. The idea of being turned over his knee made her legs tremble. But none of that was going anywhere. She indulged herself in little fantasies from time to time, but she never acted on them.
Ronnie had sworn off men a long time ago.

Let #Freedom Ring with a #Rebel Princess Fighting for Her Country by @AnitaPhilmar #ASMSG



Let Freedom Ring!

I want to offer my sincere gratitude to all the men and women who have defended this country.
Thank you.

In my story Naked Rebel, a princess has lost everything, but she is determine to win back her country no matter the cost.

Happy 4th.



Blurb:

A spy that prefers to work alone, Nick Royster’s assignment is turned upside down when his superiors sends him a personal companion. Not appreciating the need to watch someone else’s back, he attends a dinner of Salsar’s inner group. Only to learn, he has to sacrifice Rane to get the information he needs to end the war.

Rane knows the important of winning. Her family slaughtered by Salsar, this is her homeland and she plans to do whatever it takes to win her peoples’ freedom.

With everything on the line, can these two have any future together or does love and war equal heartache?

Excerpt:

A scream bounced off the wall, and the sound reflected the intensity of his pain. Salzar collapsed over her, then toppled onto his side on the floor.
Caught under him, Rane scrambled to get away and turned to stare into his face.
His eyes squeezed closed. His mouth open wide, he was gasping for breath. The pure agony displayed on his face stopped Rane’s escape.
She stared, hoping he’d suffer for a long time, but knew she had limited time before he recovered and struck out at her. Moving to rise, she caught sight of Carmala
The woman stood by the desk, Salzar’s gun in her hand. “He deserves to die.”
Eyes lit with hatred, she pointed the pistol at Salzar and barked out, “Leave.”
“She’s right.” Mika, Salzar’s maid, held the office door open.
Rane blinked at the woman. When had Mika entered the room? “I, uh...”
Fearing Carmala might turn the gun on her, Rane hurried to her feet and edged back toward the exit. “Are you sure you want to do this? Because we both know...”
Carmala drew in a breath and her gaze raced passed Rane to Mika. “Just make sure  Rane gets safely out of here.”
Mika stepped forward and wrapped a coat around Rane’s shoulder. “Come on, we’ve got to go.”
Rane drew the cape around her shoulders and glanced down at Salzar on the floor. He still rocked back and forth like a baby.

“Have no mercy,” she muttered and rushed for the door.

Claimed by the Vampire by Kryssie Fortune #NeverendingTour #Romance

Author interview of Kryssie Fortune


  1. What do you like best about writing ménage?


I find ménage difficult, although two of my books, Taken by Twin Doms, and Claimed by the Vampire, Seduced by the Werewolf are both ménages. I found it easier the second time around. The best bit is messing with the heroine’s head until she decides she wants the ménage. Then the men can move in.
  1. What usually comes first for you, characters or plot?
Plot. No matter who is in the story or how much sex they have, if there isn’t a great story behind it, I wouldn’t want to read it. The same thing goes for cliff hangers. I dn’t want to read them either.


  1. What genre do you enjoy reading?
I’ll read anything. Mostly I stick with romances. Any kind, from Regency, through military, to paranormal. I enjoy the occasional adventure / mystery too.
  1. How do you come up with your stories?
I’m a pantser. The best description I ever saw was that a writer has a series of islands to swim to before reaching the mainland. I start with a scene in my head and work out things around it as I go. Oddly, in a couple of instances, the scene I used for inspiration never made it into my book.


  1. Tell me about your series


I have two series. One is my Scattered Siblings paranormal series full of werewolves, Fae, and an ever-hungry dragon whose appetite get him into mischief. The old Fae king was a lecher who left children everywhere. Now his son, Leonidas has taken the throne, he’s trying to find them. Much to his ire, they keep mating with werewolves.


The second is my Heroes of Westhorpe Ridge series. It’s about former military men building civilian lives in Westhorpe Ridge. Of course, for warriors like them, true love never runs smooth. There are kidnappers, arsonists, and even spies hunting the women they love.


  1. What’s the best thing about writing a series?


I liked that the worlds were already built and readers would meet old friends as each stand-alone romance unfolds. The Scattered Sibling world I invented, but Westhorpe Ridge was harder.
I’m a Brit who doesn’t do long haul but I needed an imaginary town in North Carolina. Fortunately, my Facebook friends don’t mind me asking them stupid questions about their state. For the town itself, I mentally transplanted the Yorkshire town of Whitby to America. Of course, since the stories are contemporary, I left the Dracula connection back in Yorkshire.
Blurb
After seven centuries, Elias, a former Spartan turned vampire, finds his eternal bride.

Seth, Elias’s werewolf half-brother, scents his mate.

Vampire and werewolf loathe each other. The only thing they agree on is that Tempest is their mate--and they’re not sharing.

A prophecy will force Tempest, a twenty-first-century witch, to choose between them. As the half-brothers vie to win her heart, they teach her about spanking, the way pain heightens pleasure, and the joy of multiple orgasms.

A vampire can’t survive without his fated bride. A werewolf dies if he loses his mate. Their future rests in Tempest’s hands. Which one will she choose?
  • Note:While loosely linked to the Scattered Siblings series, this book may be read as a standalone story

About Kryssie
Kryssie Fortune writes the sort of hot sexy books she loves to read. If she can sneak a dragon into her paranormal books she will. Her paranormal heroes are muscular werewolves, arrogant Fae, or BDSM loving dragons. 

Kryssie likes her contemporary heroes ex-military and dominant. Her heroines are kick ass females who can hold their own against whatever life - or Kryssie - throws at them.

Kryssie's pet hates are unhappy endings, and a series that end on a cliff hanger.
Her books are all stand alone even when part of series. Plot always comes before sex, but when her heroines and heroes get together, the sex is explosive and explicit. One review called it downright sensual.

Excerpt
Tempest shook her head, remembering how Elias claimed his family had abandoned him. Seth’s words turned everything on its head. Not that she could think straight around him. When he stroked one finger through her intimate juices, raised it to his lips, and tasted her cum, she’d never seen anything so sexy or wicked.
Seth stared into her eyes. “You make my world complete, but I’d better tell you the rest. Father tried to save Elias from having a Spartan warrior train him as a bedmate, but my father’s first and best-loved son rejected him again. When Elias turned twenty, he joined a Spartan mess when he should have taken up his responsibilities to Macedonia. When he died at Thermopylae, my father’s grief swept through the Macedonian kingdom, even though he hadn’t seen Elias for decades.”
Tempest’s eyes widened. “Elias tells it different, and I know he didn’t fight in any legendary battle. Besides, your father had a whole army of other sons. Why didn’t one of them step up as heir?”
Seth pulled her close and breathed in her wildflower essence. “Some of them tried, but the assassination attempts and political maneuvering didn’t interest me. I was happy for one of the others to rule. Besides, I preferred to train with the cavalry rather than flirt with some ambitious politician’s daughter. Nothing I did was good enough for my father. All he cared about was his precious Elias. Now you have fallen under his spell. Let’s see if I can seduce you away from my family’s black sheep.”
Seth leaned in and blew a raspberry on her stomach. She giggled and buried her hands in his hair, but the insecure part of her wanted to pull the covers over her excess skin. Instead, she lay there and let him kiss her belly button before he moved lower, and speared her pussy with his tongue.
His breath warmed her clit as his tongue penetrated and thrilled her. Pleasure headed like a fiery arrow to her womb, then blazed through her body in a rush of sensual heat. Her bones turned to jelly, and her muscles trembled. Her intimate juices flooded over his tongue.
She hadn’t expected oral sex, not after the way her last boyfriend had turned his nose up every time he looked at her body, nor had she known Seth’s going down on her would tumble her so quickly toward another orgasm.
Lost in Seth’s rich, earthy essence, she wanted to ignore the raised voices across the field. I’d best get out there and sort it, I suppose.
Someone banged on the trailer door, but Seth pulled her closer. “If we ignore them, maybe they’ll go away.”
The sound of metal ripping made Tempest sit up. Footsteps stomped toward them. The bedroom door flew open. It banged against the wall with a metallic clang. Elias stormed through to the bedroom. “What the hell are you doing?”
