Welcome to My Sexy Saturday, week #95! Wounded  (book #8 in the SHADES OF DESIRE box set) By Cindy Stark Jerry accepted his friend’s dare and strode toward the fair’s kissing booth determined to show Kimber exactly what she’d given up. He locked gazes with his ex-fiancée, her eyes growing wider with each step he took. When he stood directly in front of her, he reached into his wallet and pulled out a twenty. If he intended to abuse the kissing policy, he should probably pay for it. He held the bill up for her inspection before stuffing it into the payment jar. Then he tugged her forward, pulling her into his arms and placed his lips over hers before she could reject him. The second their mouths touched, he knew he’d made a grave mistake. Every inch of him tightened with desire, and he lost control. He possessed her mouth, pushing his tongue against her lips until she opened for him. Then he drank her kisses in like a man who’d been without water for too many days. He ...

Welcome to My Sexy Saturday, week #94! Trusting Love  (book #7 in the SHADES OF DESIRE box set) By Emma Leigh Reed The house was quiet when Tony slipped inside. He smirked in the dark. Chloe was so predictable—always in bed before he got home hoping to avoid him. He could see through her, but she was easily influenced and good to have around. He made his way to the kitchen to grab a beer. Twisting off the cap, he slipped into living room and sat down. His legs sprawled in front of him he lounged back in the easy chair. Chloe had been young when he had found her. She was eager for love and he gave it to her. Well, maybe not the love she had been looking for, but he didn’t care what she needed. He did feel sorry when he saw her tears but now he’s bored and ready to move on, but can’t. She overhead too many conversations and knew too much. He sighed and placed the empty bottle on the table next to him, stood and started upstairs. Something had to be done with her. He sl...

Welcome to My Sexy Saturday, week #93! Still Hot for You  (book #4 in the SHADES OF DESIRE box set) By Diane Escalera She watched him stroll away, his gait strong, fit and purposeful. She didn’t want to be angry with Dylan anymore. After months of mulish behavior, she’d rationalized her situation. At twenty-nine, she had plenty of time to start a family. It’s not like Dylan didn’t want kids. He did. He just had this need to secure their future first. The man showed tenacity, but didn’t she love that about him? While he changed, Shay spread out the meal. She used the good china and lit a line of candles down the center of the table. Dimming the overhead lamp instantly transformed the mood to soft and relaxing. Barefoot, she sauntered over to the stereo and clicked on the CD player, already loaded with atmosphere music. She chose something not too romantic, just a light, melodic tune. Back at the table, she tinkered with the wineglasses. She straightened a fork, aligned ...

Welcome to My Sexy Saturday, week #92! Liar, Liar  (book #1 in the SHADES OF DESIRE box set) By J.A. Coffey Matt’s gaze left hers for a moment, traveling down the length of her rain-soaked figure. He grabbed his jacket from her hand and tossed it aside into the forest debris like a blanket. Jess glanced down. Her nipples were puckered and stiff, protruding through the wet material of her blouse and her thin bra. She was obviously aroused and yet she didn’t feel any shame. Not with him. His gaze raked over her like fire. “I…we…we should be getting back….” She began. Her brain was foggy with desire. She wanted him, wanted his hands on her. Why was it so hard to think? “Your eyes are incredible,” Matt whispered, moving closer until she could feel the tickle of his warm breath on her cheek. “Expressive. Stunning.” “They’re just brown,” Jess answered. She leaned back against a nearby aspen. Her legs felt like water. What was she doing? “They’re much more than that. There...

Welcome to My Sexy Saturday, week #91! A Decade for Darius  (book #3 in the SHADES OF DESIRE box set) By Dorothy Callahan “Since we accomplished nothing, may I take you out again?” His smile did strange things to her. Strange, warm, tingly, clenching, wonderful things. Feigning boredom, she checked her nails. “I don’t know. You really are a major imposition.” He grabbed her, twirled her around in a waltz and braced her against his car. It took a minute for her squeal of laughter to fade before she realized his intense look. How his hands stroked her hips. How he had her completely at his tender mercy. “May I kiss your cheek, Jessalyn?” That, and everything else.  ** Read more excerpts from the Shades of Desire box set ** Pre-order today for only $.99!

Welcome to My Sexy Saturday, week #90! Resisting Destiny  (book #6 in the SHADES OF DESIRE box set) By Chanta Rand Her eyes swept the length of his silk pajama bottoms. Normally, he walked around bare-chested, but he remembered to pull on a sleeveless t-shirt so he wouldn’t offend his guest.  “I like asking questions. You don’t like repeating yourself. We make one hell of a team.” “If you follow my rules, we’ll be fine.” “Oh, hell no!”  She sat her coffee cup down and he knew she was about to read him the riot act.  Before she could attack, he took the offense.  “Y’know, I’m getting used to the way your eyes narrow when something pisses you off. You’re doing it now, although you look a lot prettier without those fake eyelashes you had on yesterday.” She glared. “I don’t know if that was supposed to be a compliment or not.” “It was.” They continued staring at each other for a few seconds. The air crackled with enough energy to light Vegas f...

Welcome to My Sexy Saturday, week #89! Spanish Nights  (book #9 in the SHADES OF DESIRE box set) By Valerie Twombly Ten silent minutes later, she finally reached her front door. She slipped the key into the lock and turned the handle. The door opened to reveal a darkened room and she could hardly wait to escape back into it. She wondered if the entire trip was a waste. Good manners had her turning around to face the sexy man who'd towered beside her all day. “Thank you again. It was lovely.” His hands gripped her upper arms and his body pinned her against the doorjamb. His lips crashed down on hers. Bruising. Demanding. His tongue pushed passed and swept into her mouth. He tasted of danger and sin and she wanted to swallow him whole. Every lean hard muscle of his chest pushed into her breasts causing them to ache. Her nipples pebbled against her bathing suit and begged to have his hot tongue glide across them. His erection, thick and hard, pressed into her belly. She ...

Welcome to My Sexy Saturday, week #88! Mr. Right Now  (book #10 in the SHADES OF DESIRE box set) By Kristina Knight       His chest was tanned and strong, giving her the impression that he worked outside, shirtless. A lot. Construction, maybe? God have mercy on the women in his neighborhood. A light layer of hair trailed in a V from his pecs to disappear in a point below the waistband of his jeans. Like a treasure map. She chuckled.       “What?”       “I was just thinking how many times a pirate and his lady may have done this on the deck of a ship in the middle of the Caribbean.”       “You are an odd woman.”       She watched him from under her lashes for a moment. “And you’re a little bit of a pirate. Kissing me in the elevator. Seducing me away from my room.”       His stomach muscles bunched as she raked her fingernails over his heated skin. “Personally, I’ve always ...

This Saturday, I kick off my "sexy tour" with my novel, His Bedpost Queen . Enjoy! His Bedpost Queen (book #5 in the SHADES OF DESIRE box set) By Lena Hart Her breasts pressed against his hard chest. The sensation had her holding her breath. His warm, smoky scent wrapped around her, and her heart thudded in her ears—from both fear and excitement. Having sex with him hadn’t been part of the plan, but the thought of taking all that power and strength inside her was extremely arousing. She smiled. “Then what are you waiting for?” she asked softly, gliding her fingers further down to his muscled abdomen. The desire in his eyes blazed through the dimness in the room.   Pre-order today for only $.99...
