Kes is obsessed with killing Nikolai – to prevent him from destroying Earth nine hundred years into the future.

Kes is obsessed with eliminating Nikolai before he's reborn as the evil vampire who destroys Earth and propels her family into the past.

Once she finds the Nikolai of her present is a good and kind man she's not sure she can hold the very sexy human accountable for something he hasn't yet done.

Excerpt:
 
Kes languished in the arms of her lover, a man she knew not by name but by his deep, sexy voice and his intoxicating kisses. She bade the sun not to set so she could steal more time in his arms, for when the moon chased the sun out of the sky, her lover would evaporate and she would be thrust back into the real world. And the real world was hell.

But this was heaven, if a vampire could be in heaven. She writhed and twisted in his arms, pressing her naked flesh to his. He was lithe and strong for a human, and he never failed to pleasure her.

“Are you in the mood to play, milady?” her lover murmured against her flesh.

She tilted her lips into a smile and nodded. “Wild and rough.”

He beamed at her with a sparkle in his eyes. “Whatever milady wishes.”

When he shackled her to the bed posts, her stomach pressed to the mattress, her legs spread wide, she didn’t demur. She squirmed with anticipation, her pussy clenching.

She turned her head and watched as he spread oil over his beautiful cock and then climbed aboard the bed. She lay there helpless, swaying with the motion as he approached stealthily. Her ass clenched, too, yearning for his touch. When he delivered a stinging slap to her bare buttocks, she screamed in a mixture of pain and pleasure. Never before had anyone spanked her, and she tingled.

Titillated, she rubbed her breasts against the bed, cajoling him to unite with her. But he sat beside her and ran the tips of his fingers across her back, to the edges of her breasts then pulled back. He walked them to the small of her back and withdrew again.
“Do you not wish to make love to me? To fuck me?”
"Are you that anxious to feel my cock move inside you? To be one with me?” He drew himself up to his knees and drew the tip of his cock along her side.
He bent by her ear and dipped his tongue inside. Then he whispered huskily, “Does that feel good? How bad do you want it?”

Her rear throbbed with an exquisite ache but not enough. She yearned for much more. “I crave your cock. I want you to fill me, to be inside me. Now.”

Christmas in July - celebration and contests

Merry Christmas!

It’s July and the heat index must be over 100. My daughter is sun burnt from our visit to the pool a couple days ago. My AC bill’s going to be sky high next month.

But the Christmas movies are coming out of storage and I’ll begin writing Christmas stories and doing Christmas shopping and celebrating Christmas in July.

The Romance Readers and Writers are having a big Christmas in July celebration and contest. In conjunction, I will be giving away a copy of my new book “Carnal Lust”, an erotic historical vampire romance published by Total-E-Bound at www.total-e-bound.com

To win a copy, please leave a comment on my blog that you would like to be entered to win "Carnal Lust". To get additional entries, let me know you're a follower, retweet my contest on Twitter, or leave a reader review of one of my books on Amazon (and tell me of course so I can find it). I'll award an additional entry for each thing (as long as you let me know).

I'll award two pdf copies of the book July 31, 2010.

Writing Christmas stories in July???

The boss had jury duty today so I was in charge. No biggie. Have you ever tried to be in charge of ten chatty women, most of them older than you? Ten women who are hyped to go on holiday? Fortunately, nothing out of the ordinary happened other than a bad thunder storm that knocked our power out and the computers off a couple times. Patty (names have been changed to protect the innocent) was afraid to go to the bathroom as the lights had gone off on her and the room was pitch black. I guess I have to take some flash lights for my department in case it happens again. I don't know why the emergency lights didn't go on. It's that time of year, in the heat of the summer and the height of beach season, that I have to come up with a Christmas story idea (or two). At least I want to. I always swear I'm going to write Christmas stories during the Christmas season for the NEXT year. I mean, isn't it easier to write something when you're in the mood? Isn't it easier to get in the mood when it's set? Sure, I could watch a few Christmas movies (if I could wedge the hubby away from the TV and all his cop and crash-em-up car shows). I could burn some pine-scented candles and bake some sugar cookies. I might even decorate the house for Christmas (and hope no one calls the men who will tie me up in a little white straight jacket). I could even play Christmas songs and turn up the AC to freezing. I suppose I could even buy some Christmas stories online and read them, too. Still, it's not totally the same as actually being in the season. But if I want to have a Christmas story or two published this season, it's now or never since I've not already done it. Yikes! I'm beginning to feel like Michaels (craft store) getting ready for Christmas in July. By my own logic, I should be writing sultry summertime stories with an eye for them to be published next summer.
