#KINDLE TOUCH #GIVEAWAY - Only 4 days left to enter! #pdf1 #win

Great books and a great e-reader. What more can a bibliophile ask for?

To bring you everything you can need to survive the upcoming holiday season, I've banded together with a couple wonderful authors, Laura Taylor and Lisa Gillis, as well as a fantastic book page on Facebook, Outrageous Heroes of Romance, to bring you an exciting contest!

First here's what we're celebrating!

From Kristine Cayne

4.4 stars on 111 reviews!

RT Book Reviews Top Pick - "Stock up on ice cubes because this is definitely one sizzling debut. Readers will be hooked from the first sentence- on the book and on Nic! As rich as a white chocolate cheesecake, Cayne's entrance into the suspense genre is invigorating, explosive and simply intoxicating."

Description

Nic Lamoureux's perfect movie star life is shattered by a stalker who threatens any woman close to him. When he meets photographer Lauren James, the attraction is instant--and mutual. She's exactly the sort of woman he craves, but the stalker makes deadly clear Lauren is the competition. And the competition must be eliminated.

Warm Yourself Up With Some Great #Prizes at the Winter Heat Hop! #GIVEAWAY

Welcome to the Winter Heat Blog Hop stop #6!!

Contests and giveaways run from Nov. 24 through Dec. 5, 2014. At the bottom of this post, I've listed two very special giveaways!

When I think of winter, I think of cold weather, snow, slippery roads. But I also think of warm fires, snugly blankets, and good books!

So, are you looking for something to heat up your evenings? I've got just the thing for you. My Deadly Vices romantic suspense series centers around the hero of Deadly Obsession and his friends. Each book features a different hero, and the heroine who will challenge him and ultimately help him defeat the villain. Because I love learning about new new cultures and societies, the books take place in a variety of locations (from LA to Montreal to Afghanistan) where part of the hero and/or heroine's struggle is in dealing with the unknown: cultural, religious, political, economic, and language-based issues.

These books are gritty and as realistic as possible. The heroes think, act, and speak like men who live on the edge. And there is nothing sugar-coated about their sex lives. These books are one steamy ride! Okay, well, several. :D

As all good villains, my villains believe they are heroes and heroines. They are doing the wrong things for all the right reasons. Depending on your point of view, you may love them or hate them. But in all cases, they are a match for the hero and heroine.

GIVEAWAY #1

To celebrate winter, I'm going to be giving away a couple of my hot guys! One lucky winner will receive and ecopy of DEADLY ADDICTION, the second book in my DEADLY VICES romantic suspense series, while another will receive DEADLY BETRAYAL, the third book in the series!

DEADLY ADDICTION (Deadly Vices, Book Two)

4.8 stars on 39 reviews

Winner - 1st place in the INDIE Awards, Romantic Suspense Category (a division of Chanticleer Book Reviews Blue Ribbon Writing Contests)

Finalist - Best Villain, Best Hero/Heroine, The Harvey Award for the Book We Most Want to See Made into a Movie - 2014 eFestival of Words Best of the Independent Books Awards

Nominee - Best Suspense/Thriller - 2012 RONE (Reward of Novel Excellence) Awards

A violent clash of cultures and nations tests the forbidden love between a Native American man and a white female cop.

When beautiful police sergeant Alyssa Morgan enters his life, Rémi Whitedeer never expects her to upend it. Not only does she have his hormones in an uproar, she's also threatening to take the position he wants--Chief of Police for the Iroquois Blackriver Reservation. But Alyssa is more than a Barbie cop. Her ends-justifies-the-means philosophy, so different from his own, challenges Rémi on every level. With her sharp investigative skills and her fearlessness, she leads Rémi to confront bitter truths about his family and his standing as a man of mixed race within his tribe.

Tall hunky Rémi Whitedeer, of the panty-melting grin and the smoldering green eyes, flips Alyssa's world ass over teakettle. She's always had a laser-like focus on the job, but Rémi proves a constant distraction. His inner strength and sense of purpose strip away the winner-take-all attitude Alyssa wears like armor. Soon she's longing for more--a more that terrifies and intrigues her. If he finds out the fine line she'd walked while undercover, will he still want her? And will she ever find the courage to let him--or anyone--that far in?

When Alyssa and Rémi uncover a drug-fueled scheme involving a biker gang from Alyssa's past and a militant sovereigntist group led by Rémi's cousin, they are forced to choose between their growing love for each other and the lives they've worked so hard to build. Will Rémi and Alyssa have to leave everything behind--even their identities--for the chance of a future together?

DEADLY BETRAYAL (Deadly Vices, Book Three)

4.8 stars on 18 reviews!

An Afghan woman’s rights activist with a dark secret.

Azita Seraj, doctor and women’s rights activist in Afghanistan, is horrified to learn that her late husband’s brother, Khalid Mullazai, is giving his eleven-year-old niece to a militant warlord. Desperate to save the girl, she reaches out to the only hope she has: an American soldier she treated several years earlier for a near-fatal gunshot wound. A wound he received in an ambush she’d unwittingly initiated. Can she enlist his aid and still keep secret her betrayal?

An American soldier searching for answers.

Kaden Christiansen never forgot the beautiful Afghan doctor who saved his life, and when he receives her cry for help, he doesn’t hesitate. He relishes the opportunity to see Azita again, and being in-country will give him a chance to hunt down the person responsible for the ambush that left one of his men dead.

A deadly conspiracy that threatens them both...

Pursued by Mullazai and the warlord’s fighters as they travel across the country disguised and posing as a married couple, Kaden and Azita begin to fall for their own act and for each other. But Kaden senses that Azita is holding back. Is the reason their cultural differences, or something darker?

Cranberries & Spice Blog Hop - Great Prizes!

Welcome to the Cranberries & Spice Blog Hop stop #32!!

Contests and giveaways run from Nov. 22 through Dec. 5, 2014. At the bottom of this post, I've listed two very special giveaways!

Cranberries & Spice, now there's a holiday season mix. What's your favorite aspect of the holidays whether it be Thanksgiving or Christmas or whatever else you celebrate? For me, it's all about family. And with family, comes craziness, at least if your family is anything like mine. LOL

The holidays for me also bring to mind snow, cold weather, warm fires, snuggling under the blankets. And of course, that leads (hopefully) to some pretty inspired sex!

Not feeling it yet? Let me sexy firefighters warm you up to the season!

Aftershocks (Prequel Novella)

When Seattle is struck by a devastating earthquake, technical rescue firefighter Jamie Caldwell must save his estranged wife and daughter from the wreckage of a collapsed building. He's defied the odds hundreds of times, but will his luck finally run out for good?

Under His Command (Book One)

A firefighter desperate to save his failing marriage earns the trust—and the sexual submission—of his controlling wife in the most pleasurable of ways.

After an explosive one-night stand results in pregnancy, Jamie Caldwell is thrilled to marry the perfect foil to his Dom side. But when his submissive wife starts cringing every time he gives a command, Jamie shackles his dark desires. A bout of rough, frenzied reunion sex makes him wonder if now he should free the Dom he’s kept in chains and teach Erica the joys of submission and sexual surrender.

Erica Caldwell secretly loved every sinful thing Jamie did to her on their first night together. However, terrified she’ll become a codependent doormat like her mother, she repeatedly rejects Jamie’s dominance, despite craving the kind of release only he can give her—the release that comes from yielding to Jamie’s every demand.

Hoping that the trust required by BDSM will help them rebuild their faith in each other, Jamie and Erica embark on a journey of sexual exploration. But is it too late to repair their crumbling marriage?

Everything Bared (Book Two)

Polar opposites—she’s kinky, he’s uptight—discover they share a taboo desire that may destroy both their futures.

Firefighter Dani Harris has always wanted a family, but doesn’t think it’s possible because of her demanding, high-stakes career. Her sex life is as high-adrenaline as her job, and that’s just one more thing that makes her unsuitable to be a wife and mother. Her secret kink—exhibitionism—has gotten in the way of more than one relationship. Will she ever find a man who not only shares her wild fantasies, but loves her for them?
Burdened with ensuring the success of the struggling family business, William Caldwell IV needs a wife suited for a CEO—one with money and connections, who can manage his busy social life and raise their 2.5 children. He’s got everything all mapped out, but when he meets Dani, a woman who’s every kind of wrong, she taps into desires he’s only half-recognized and long-suppressed. Suddenly his carefully crafted five-year plan feels as confining as a straightjacket.

As Dani and Will’s sexual experimentation escalates, they test the limits of polite society by baring all and risking exposure—an exposure that could cost them their reputations and careers.

Bundle - Six-Alarm Sexy Volume One (Aftershocks & Under His Command)

Handle With Care (In-Between Novella - December 2014)

Description

When an Oscar-winning movie star meets a department-store photographer…

Movie star Nic Lamoureux appears to have a playboy’s perfect life. But it’s a part he plays, an act designed to conceal a dark secret he carries on his shoulders. His empty days and nights are a meaningless blur until he meets the woman who fulfills all his dreams. She and her son are the family he’s always wanted—if she can forgive a horrible mistake from his past.

A Hollywood dream…

Lauren James, a widowed single mother, earns barely enough money to support herself and her son. When she wins a photography contest and meets Nic, the man who stars in all her fantasies, her dreams, both professional and personal, are on the verge of becoming real. The attraction between Lauren and Nic is instant—and mutual. Their chemistry burns out of control during a photo shoot that could put Lauren on the fast track to a lucrative career.

Becomes a Hollywood nightmare

But an ill-advised kiss makes front-page news, and the lurid headlines threaten everything Nic and Lauren have hoped for. Before they know what’s happening, their relationship is further rocked by an obsessed and cunning stalker who’ll stop at nothing—not even murder—to have Nic to herself. When Nic falls for Lauren, the stalker zeroes in on her as the competition.

And the competition must be eliminated.

Happy reading!
