Welcome Nora Snowdon, Cassandre Dayne, BL Morticia, Annette Snyder, Margie Church!


Love at First Sniff – by Nora Snowdon

Rosie has met the man of her dreams... Or could it really be her nightmares? After fabulous sex, he suddenly disappears. He re-enters her life in time for her to discover he's being forced into a shotgun wedding.

Lucas finds in Rosie everything he's ever wanted in a mate. Only problem is, she's human. His werewolf parents want him to marry a nice girl with a fur coat, but the woman they've chosen is a bitch in more ways than one. When his fiancée Annabelle accidentely bites Rosie she is thrown into a whole new fuzzy lifestyle.

If Lucas can just downplay the negative aspects of being a werewolf - fleas, the desire to chase motorcycles, and Uncle Harold - maybe he can convince Rosie that Annabelle's bite is actually a good thing. Now that she too is a werewolf, they can be together.

Can Lucas win back the love of his life? Can Rosie love a man who moonlights as a wolf? A sexy comedy that will have you howling...

Excerpt

A strange scent tickled her nose and Rosie sat up straight.  What is that?  She glanced around the bar to see if someone new had sat down.  The guy to her left reeked of garlic sweat and there was a strong boozy coffee drinker on the other side.  Yet one faint scent called to her.

She tried to discreetly sniff the air without looking like a rabid bunny.  What the hell is that?  It wasn’t a cloying perfume or an over-enthusiastic deodorant, although God knew too many fragrances competed in the air.  It was a soothing scent, but incredibly erotic.  She was concentrating on the aroma so hard she didn’t notice the man until he tapped her on the shoulder.

“Would you like to dance?”

Rosie glanced up to see a tall, ebony-haired man standing beside her.  His smile shot through her like a warm sip of brandy.  Tearing her eyes from his sensuous lips, she found the rest of his face equally entrancing.  Beautiful warm eyes, a regal nose, high cheekbones, and that smile again.  Rosie swallowed, trying to get her voice to work.



THE LOST & FORGOTTEN Cassandre Dayne

When Katerina Randolph joined Doctors With Dreams, an organization created to provide inexpensive medical attention to cities in need, she was lured immediately to Lafayette, Louisiana. Finally accepted by the people, she loved everything about living in a town laced with the old ways of black magic. Suddenly her dreams were filled each night with two luscious and very ghostlike men that sated her every sexual fantasy. The experience so real and so breathtaking, she questioned her sanity. Rattled, she buried herself into her practice until the townspeople began turning up slaughtered by a wild animal. Then the Others predicted that the creatures of the forest had come to take their rightful place amidst the ruins of their village.
    
The Were-tiger, the oldest and most powerful breed created by the Devil, was nearing the time of the Passing. Feeling betrayed, the devil’s son and Prince of their people cursed two men of his kind into the Fade, an eternity of Hell. Their only hope? Find the one woman that had been destined to be their mate and the Queen of their Pride. Gage Trevillian and Lucan Morgan were the lost & forgotten. More ghost than man or beast, their goal was to find Nicolette and forever break the curse. But unfortunately, a pact made with the devil put the entire town at risk. Amidst a volley of secrets and lies involving both the humans and tigers, only a select few would survive.
 

Excerpt:

     And Lucan wanted to ravage her entire body in a feast meant for a King.

     Or the King’s beast.

     “Mmmm…I grow hungry for her.” Gage flicked his sun kissed hair over his shoulder and turned an icy stare toward Lucan. “Why are we waiting?”

     “You have no patience, my love.”

     Gage Trevillian growled and pressed the back of his shaking hand over his sharp canines. “It’s been far too long.”

     Indeed they had waited and hungered and she was their prize.

     The slice of moonlight illuminated her sleeping form and both hovered over her, watching. Wanting. She was barely covered by the thin sheet that highlighted her magnificent feminine form as she slept, her breathing relaxed. She was also completely unaware of the haunted presence or the extreme danger she was in. Empowered by the long hibernation and their keening scent, they could sense the burning desire racing through her body, tormenting her every waking moment. Desperately hungry, both yearned for her tender flesh and her tortured soul. They’d searched for her for a very long time, in their minds a lifetime. Finding her, taming her, claiming her as their mate had become the single quest allowed to them. She was well worth the exhausting days, the long horror filled nights. The luscious woman was their only hope. It was a shame they were both very, very dead.

     In truth, they were the lost and forgotten.

You Dont Ask We Dont Tell by BL Morticia

Cody sat in the office with Justin Belvidere very uncomfortable about all the emotions he felt. The anxieties about joining the army, wondering whether he passed the test, and then there were those lingering thoughts about how he’d like to serve himself on a platter for the recruiter.

Damn.

He couldn’t help all the thoughts flooding his brain. The man was so fucking delectable. Never mind he must’ve been straight with a girlfriend and even a child. Just too damn handsome.

“Soldier!” Justin yelled from across the desk. He’d been talking to Cody about his first days in basic training since McCayne asked him what it was like. Apparently, Cody was so distracted by his groin filling and his cock straining against the zipper he forgot he where he was.

Cody jumped and gripped onto the sides of the chair. “Sorry sir, I-”

“Hey soldier.” Justin leaned back in his seat and propped his feet back on the desk. “You need to straighten up boy! You can’t be losin’ focus like that when you’re in camp.”



Respectable Affair, Annette Snyder

Between Virginia Seidle’s terrible jaunt with men and Nolan Vickers’s upheld honor toward his institutionalized wife, no one in town openly faulted the pair for banding together to raise Nolan’s son, John.  When love blossoms, would people be as accepting? 

Can Nolan and Virgie put their clouded pasts behind and keep their affair respectable?

Excerpt:

            “I don’t like Frank because he’s using you.  He quit school.  He doesn’t work.  His friends are no accounts. He takes you for granted and I know you give him money, and whatever else, whenever he wants it.”

            Virgie picked up her bed pillow and threw it at him.  “Shut up!  You don’t know what you’re talking about!”  She didn’t care if her parents woke up and heard them fighting.  When the truth came out, Truman would have to apologize.   “Besides, if I’m giving him money, why would he have to rob a liquor store?  And one more thing!  Frank and I love each other.  What do you have to say about that?”

            Truman turned to open the door.  “I’d say that tomorrow he’ll be in jail and you won’t have to worry about it anymore.  Let’s just hope dad and mom don’t find out that you were with him tonight or you’ll be in deep trouble.”

            “It isn’t going to matter.  You’re wrong about Frank and they won’t care.  You’ll see.”  She was surprised he closed the door instead of slamming it.  If she were in his shoes, she’d slam it so hard his eardrums would burst. 

Respectable Affair, the third story in my WWII series, releases in May.  Until then, you can purchase the first two novels, Viveka’s War and Eureka Springs, along with my other work, here: http://www.whiskeycreekpress.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&zenid=20f4a33cac354e02cc5b441784c3227e&keyword=annette+snyder




Krewe Daddy by Margie Church

Luis is the Daddy, a sought-after lover, with an ego to match the mammoth-sized Mardi Gras floats he designs. His lifestyle and reputation are wearing him out, but Luis can't find a satisfying way to break the cycle and be happy, too.

Drew's insecurities pushed him to have a foolish affair six years ago. It destroyed his relationship with Luis, and he's never been able to commit to anyone since. Now, he's taken control of his life and changed his submissive personality by becoming a model for Kevin Marks, and a wildlife enforcement agent in New Orleans.

These men haven't forgotten each other, or settled their differences. When they accidentally meet in a French Quarter gay bar, the years of regret, anger, and pent-up emotions erupt. Their passion is as hot as ever, their mistrust just as potent. When Drew's future is in Luis' hands, will he choose his lifestyle or love?

Featuring Kevin, Teak, and Drew from Hard as Teak.

EXCERPT: 

Luis.

Drew could still see Luis' dark eyes light up, and the lazy grin that spread across his beautiful lips when Drew teased him about being an old man. Eight years Drew's senior, Luis was well-known as Daddy Luis.

Drew hadn't talked to Luis in almost six years, and yet the dull ache remained. The man rattled around in Drew's heart, never quite finding his way out. Teak Hildalgo had tried his damnedest to erase Luis from Drew's affections. Hell, he'd even followed Drew to Minnesota. And got stranded there when we fell apart. At least, that's how Teak managed to be in the right place at the right time to meet Kevin.

Drew lathered his washcloth with soap. Washing his body with his left hand became a chore. Grunting, he forced his arm to move a little faster, hoping to work through the pain. Realizing the efforts were futile, Drew flung the washcloth against the shower wall. Landing with a slap, the cloth stuck for a moment before gravity claimed it.

His breath left his lips in a hiss. Maybe Kyle is right. These ribs might be more than just badly bruised.
