May Releases And A Sneak Peek At BBW Shifter Romance Turning Wild

So what do I have lined up for everyone these last two weeks of May?

I should first point out that today is the release date for a domination and submission romance anthology called Master of Hearts, featuring nine talented and popular erotic romance authors, including me!  I'm extremely lucky to have the first title in the His Series, At His Whim, appearing in the collection along with work by authors like Adriana Hunter, Aphrodite Hunt, Terry Towers, and Selena Kitt.  For a limited time, Master of Hearts is selling for just $0.99 (for over 450 pages of domination romance), as are each of the His Series titles.  Here's the quick scoop on the anthology:

Master of Hearts: A Domination And Submission Romance Anthology

To be claimed, taken, and possessed with the carnal skill of a consummate Dom.... Surrender to the desire to belong to a man whose hunger demands complete control of your pleasure and his own. Trust nine of the most popular authors in domination and submission romance to introduce you to the Master of Hearts in this sensual collection of stories and novelettes.

If there's enough reader interest in the His Series again, the time might be right to pursue that His Series novel, for those Adrian & Chloe fans among you.  :)

This coming Friday, we have the release of my first BBW shifter romance novella, Turning Wild.  While Turning Wild is not a BDSM or domination and submission romance, I think everyone will be happy with the sexy, savage, alpha males showing my heroines what they want in no uncertain terms.  Turning Wild is a standalone shifter romance novella, but there are plenty more sexy wolves to meet in the world of the Aesir Shifters if the interest is there.  Here's a peek at the cover and blurb:

Drawn suddenly and violently into a hidden world of shifters hiding among humans, Holly is learning that there’s more than one type of were to beware of. One is a threat to her life, another to her heart….

Curvy girl Holly Parker’s life has become a series of simple choices that somehow change the course of her entire future.  Taking a shortcut home puts her on a collision course with a maniac who is not what he seems.  Keeping her mouth shut about her attacker's fur and fangs lands her a job with a covert agency that tracks and exterminates supernaturals preying on their human neighbors.  And now her decision to rely on her intimidatingly sexy neighbor, Dustin Berg, for protection when her wolfish stalker returns opens her eyes not only to the untamed power and passions of the were-soldiers known as Odin’s Wolves but to her place among them.

Caught between her duty to protect people from the kind of attack she suffered and her irresistible attraction to the man—the shifter—who has risked his life to save her from a creature he insists is an aberration hunted by other wolves as well, Holly must decide who is on her side and who is merely using her for their own purposes.  Of all her choices, this is the one that will decide whether she loves or dies.

Again, Turning Wild is scheduled for release on Friday, May 23, 2014.  This erotic romance will contain strong sexual content and a forceful were-soldier hero.

And lastly, the following Friday, May 30, is the release date for The Art of Domination 5: Soft Focus, where we might see more of Emery Jarvis tempting Iva away from bad boy Dom Nolan.

That's the news in my corner of the world.  Summer is getting closer.  May it be filled with reading.  :)

A Sneak Peek At The Art of Domination: Model Release

I have a confession to make.  Blogging is probably my least favorite way to interact with readers, which explains why I rarely update this blog.  However, this is also one of the best ways to share actual excerpts of upcoming releases.

Speaking of which, those of you who subscribe to my newsletter expected the release of the first title in my new domination romance serial, The Art of Domination, to debut last weekend.  That fell by the wayside when a major distributor, reacting to wide-scale censorship calls from recent dustups in the UK, flagged some of my most popular His Series titles for review.  That is just about all settled, meaning we expect to debut The Art of Domination: Model Release this weekend.

Sooooo I'm releasing an excerpt of Model Release, a domination and submission romance between brooding hedonistic photographer Nolan Beal and his reluctant model turned passionate submissive, Iva Moreau, herself a frustrated painter trying to reform her wild girl ways.  In this excerpt, Iva gets her first look at Beal's studio and one of the sexiest men she has ever encountered.

From The Art of Domination: Model Release....

I waded upstream through the driving music and into a loft space that took up the whole floor only to discover what I’d taken for a party was the most chaotic photo shoot I had ever seen, all bohemian chic debauchery with a GQ sheen.  Very pretty people in everything from street clothes to couture bondage lingerie strutted and mingled and preened amidst equally attractive stylists and hair dressers in the expansive white brick studio space.  Continuous rolls of uncut photographs and negative streamers decorated the walls while piles of celebrity rags and couture trade mags lay in disarray like so much glossy clutter in corners and on low glass coffee tables and along the thick window sills where long-limbed girls lounged while flipping pages.  Rolling metal racks of clothing parceled a large section of the floor into a high fashion maze that part of me would have loved exploring.  All manner of commercial lights, either stilted up tall on metal stands or winched up at extreme angles from the exposed pipes running along the ceiling, focused obsessively on a strikingly plain paper backdrop.

Shooting had apparently paused while a little sylph of a brunette makeup artist with eye pencils tucked behind her ears and lip liners gripped between her fingers like pens touched up the color on a curvy beauty with a distinctly Brazilian flare to her light eyes and latte-tan complexion—the Giselle sort.  The model wriggled uncomfortably for a moment in her black teddy, which might have been downright modest had it not been made of tighter-than-skin latex.  The only prop with her on set was a waist-high table in the shape of a Doric column.

The dark-haired man standing a few feet from them caught my attention, well, for a couple of reasons.  While the flurry of music and activity caught everyone else up in this sense of constant movement and energy—a sort of atmospheric attention deficit disorder—he stood still and steady and tall in the middle of the chaos like it was his natural habitat, at home in the wild.  Peering appraisingly at the latex-clad model and her artist in attendance, he gripped a half-empty bottle of rum loosely in one hand, the long fingers of the other hand drumming thoughtfully against his leg.  “Devil may care” was a phrase coined for men like him, who wore it with ease in a sultry expression and power-at-rest posture.  The whole shoot looked very urban Dionysian, reimagined Bacchanalia with a twenty-first century twist, with that particular male model cast as the god of debauchery and drink himself.

Also… a girl just didn’t see a man that handsome every day, and he was gorgeous even by model standards.  He wore his thick black hair cut short enough to ruffle like a roguish party-boy crown.  That had to have been hours of work for some proud hairstylist, to be sure.  And the perfectly trimmed five o’clock shadow along his hard-angled jaw, too.  The light purse to his full, wine pink lips came off part smile, part knowing smirk—the kind that always left me torn between wanting to kiss a guy and slap him.  Maybe both, a few times.

 

No shirt above his low-ridding, loose blue jeans.  Nice juxtaposition, I thought, between baring that smooth, tanned chest and lean torso and just hinting at the shape of his muscular ass and thighs under the sturdy denim.  His dusty black motorcycle boots and the rock star heavy metal cross on the silver chain around his neck completed the God of Sex, Thunder, and Jack Daniels look.  Not bad at all, I thought.  Maybe this Beal guy knew what he was doing, at least when it came to staging.  Certainly had me throbbing from my temples to my fingertips, from my chest to deep between my legs.

The Art of Domination: Model Release is part 1 of 8 in a domination and romance serial in the vein of the bestselling His (Billionaire Domination) Series.  Like the His Series, the first installment will be available for 99 cents, and all subsequent installments will debut for 99 cents before reverting to the normal price of $2.99.

I hope everyone is as excited for The Art of Domination as they were for the His Series.  I've worked hard to make Nolan as sexy, dominant, and endearing as Adrian Knight but in his own swaggering rock star/sex god way.  :)
