Sneak peek into my upcoming release, HIS BEDPOST QUEEN ! ~~~ Coming July 22nd 24th! She offered him her sexiest smile. “You can continue staring at me,” she said with a small shrug, then glanced down at his hand then his crotch. “Or you can come here—with or without the gun—but I think we can have more fun with just your gun barrel.” Jeez! Where did that come from? But Athena held on to her seductive smile, gliding her fingers slowly down her hips to her thighs to give her tense body something to do. His eyes followed her fingers. “I’m good right here. I can enjoy the view and still hold on to my gun.” He smirked. “Both of them.” Shit. What now? She needed him to come to her… With another small shrug, she murmured, “You can do both. I’m in no rush. Whenever you stop feeling scared, you can come here and let me have a turn.”   Her heart was still racing, but there was a new kind of interest in his eyes. A blend of curious amusement and primal competitiveness....

Welcome to My Sexy Saturday! Here is a sexy teaser from my latest release, HIS FLOWER QUEEN...  Now available! Amazon   Barnes & Noble   All Romance eBooks   Kobo ~~~ “Let’s go find some privacy,” Gabe whispered, trailing feather-light kisses down her neck, both their breaths coming out in soft pants. Nina pulled away from him, laughing to cover her growing desire. “There’s no one here.” He looked around the quiet seating area and shook his head. “For what I have in mind, this won’t do.” The look in his eyes was one she was all too familiar with. Eyes darkened and face slightly flushed—it was the look he got when he wanted to be inside her, and she shivered from her own rising need. ~~~ Check out more sexy tales here!

This is my 2nd year participating in this blog hop hosted by the Swirl Awards  and I'm excited to be celebrating this trailblazing couple and the many interracial couples before them. Before Mildred and Richard Loving, there were a few other couples who defied society's rules and followed their heart. Check out these historical couples that saw beyond color and found their own "Loving" relationship! Fredrick Douglass & Helen Pitts (married 1884) Who knew iconic historical figure, Frederick Douglass' had been in an interracial relationship.

Now that Romance Slam Jam has ended, I can return back to my regularly scheduled program. But before I do, I wanted to just recap on what a amazing conference it was! I found out about RSJ at another authors conference last year and I can't believe how underrated this conference is--particularly for MC romance. Slam Jam is a reader-author conference that I believe everyone who enjoys romance should attend. So what did I do while at #RSJ14? Here is a list of some of the fun festivities I participated in--and experienced--during my 5 day stay in NOLA! Me and Sienna Mynx! Attended lots of informative workshops--for both authors and readers!

Ate some delicious beignets--though ...
