Sunday Snippet: Zip Cuffs

AHHHHH! Season finale for The Walking Dead tonight and I'm excited and actually a little frightened. Last week's ending kind of hurt, right?

Let's see… what else from this fairly big week of TV? The Flash messing with the timeline proved kind of interesting. I have to wonder if maybe Wells didn't get split, or possibly has an evil twin wandering around. Not sure how I feel about the idea, but I could probably get behind it. Arrow blew my mind again. So in love with this show. I won't get into too much detail, but every actor is pretty much spot on and giving their all. I LOVE it.

Bitten also brought the goods. Watching Greyston Holt go really creepy as Sean Rogerson's Alestair proved to be great. Nice bit of acting there. I have one small quibble. For all the times the witches have claimed to know everything, they sure get shit wrong an awful lot. Frankly, I expect more from Ruth, but I also like the huge changes in storyline deviating from the books, so… yeah, there's that. I'm just not sure I like how they come across as so uninformed, yet give off the vibe they know it all. But hey, I love Paige and Nick, so hopefully the witches can stick around. :D

And, that's it for TV this week.

Tonight's post is from Zip Cuffs, a sexy novella where my main characters are pitted against each other by an outside force.

Here's the tagline:

Thrayce Stratton finally has the man she wants, Dino Singer, but when all evidence points to him as the culprit behind several gruesome fae murders, she'll absolutely do her job as an enforcer—including using zip cuffs to get what she needs from Dino.

And a preview snippet…

Thrayce stepped out of the shower and gingerly dried off. Her skin still tingled from the early morning romp. Dino's stubble left two tender spots on her inner thighs. Pulling open the door to her bedroom, she barely got her underwear on before her phone rang. Reaching across the bed, she grabbed the device and sighed. Work. Figured.

She swiped her finger over 'answer'. "Stratton." Cradling her cell between her chin and her shoulder, she fished around for a bra.

"Notice how there isn't a dead body this morning?"

She paused, frowning. The voice on the other end did not belong to her boss. Not the first time she'd received helpful information from an unknown source, but her gut roiled with nervous tension.

She'd play along for now. "Yes, I noticed." Giving up on the bra, she snagged a t-shirt from her drawer and planted her butt on the mattress. "Why? You have any information on that?"

"We believe it's because the killer was otherwise occupied last night…" The speaker paused for one long moment. "With you."

No. Fucking. Way.

But her disbelief hit right up against a sense of betrayal. She couldn't discount the idea just because Dino Singer could make her scream with pleasure.

She gritted her teeth together. "You've got my attention. I'm listening."

"Come to the Mystic Tea Room. I'll give you everything you need to make your case."

Swallowing down the bile rising up in her throat, Thrayce agreed. "Give me fifteen. I'll be there." She ended the call and tossed her phone on the dresser.

There had to be some kind of mistake. Her greatest dream landed in her lap last night and the will to ignore the call, the timing, everything grabbed hold of her.

But she wouldn't be the top enforcer if she always let emotion get in her way. Rising, she yanked her shirt over her head and scrambled into a pair of black cargo pants. She picked up her phone and shoved it into the side pocket. Crossing through her room and out into the parlor, she jammed her feet into a pair of shoes and grabbed her jacket. She didn't bother with her keys, choosing to walk instead. She wanted a cool head when she met with… whomever. And they'd better have damned solid information or Thrayce would make sure they suffered for wasting her time.

And ruining the one thing she wanted most in the world before it even got truly started.

Should be fun to see where this one goes. The sages have some great ideas pinging back and forth.

That's it for this week.

Cheers!

Smokin' Hot—Hot Kiss: An Idyllic Affair

Welcome to the Hot for Friday blog hop!

Readers: Enjoy posts from authors with fun weekly tasks or a cool question.

Authors: Get in on the fun and join here.

Greetings!

This week we're tasked with sharing a hot kiss, whether it's slow, eager, passionate, a kiss can be many things. *sigh* Check out the smokin' smooches and enjoy! :D

For my feature, I'm posting a scene from a current release, An Idyllic Affair, an Insula Ara ~ Sanctuary Island novella, co-written with my alter ego ML Skye.

For a little background, here are the anthology brand and book taglines:

Escape to Insula Ara, an island sanctuary that provides refuge… but it comes with a price.

On the run from their enemies, an island sanctuary gives Geoff and Linnea time for An Idyllic Affair.

Bring on the steamy smooches…

His hands cupped her face. "Linn." Whisper soft, his voice sent a shudder through her.

She opened her eyes.

"Stop thinking." His hand trailed down, gliding over her stomach, the curve of her hip and drifted over to undo the buttons of her fatigues. "Feel." His fingers slipped under the fabric and cupped her mound. "Just for tonight." Geoff pressed a line of kisses along her jaw. "Don't worry about tomorrow."

Her resistance melted away. "Okay. Until the weather breaks, I won't." She leaned in and kissed him, wrapping her arms around his broad shoulders.

Geoff made a low, growling sound and pushed her pants past her hips. She kicked her legs free and worked her hands under his shirt. Inching it upward, she gasped when Geoff pushed two fingers inside her. Her head fell back, but she tugged his shirt further up, leaning forward to finally taste his skin. Her tongue made a wet trail, before she stopped and crisscrossed her arms to drag her shirt up and over her head. Geoff used his free hand to yank his offensive garment off then wrapped his arm around Linnea, jockeying his position to lift his hips. Linn took the hint and flipped the buttons of his fatigues open, one by one, teasing him by going slowly.

Geoff's voice rumbled in her ear. "I'll make you pay for that later." His tongue flicked against her lobe.

I'm revisiting a current release, A Magical Affair, a fantasy ménage with lots of fun role-playing scenarios. Over the next few weeks, I'll post a few pivotal scenes between Heath, Remy, and Stacie.

This week, we have some interaction between Heath and Romy.

Book Tagline: A mansion atop a wellspring of magic lets Romy, Heath, and Stacie live out their fantasies.

~*~

God, yes, she liked it—and wanted more. The potion Vivica concocted worked like a wonder. The experience of kissing Heath, something she'd done a million times, felt new and wondrous.

Flicking her tongue over her bottom lip, she said, "Yes, very much. Can we do it again?"

Heath smiled. "Absolutely."

He angled his head and used long, deep, slow kisses that let her explore what an unhurried buildup to passion could be like. Sliding his fingers through her hair, he mentioned she could do the same—then groaned when she used hers to massage his scalp.

He mumbled against her mouth. "That feels wonderful."

Romy grinned, thrilled she'd made him respond.

Heath moved her slowly through the disrobing process, giving Romy plenty of time to ask questions. His patient and honest answers gave her an insight she hadn't expected. He encouraged her to tell him when he did something she liked, and while shy at first, she got the hang of it quickly. She loved it when he ran his fingers down the front of her top after getting it unbuttoned. And when he kissed her shoulder when the blouse fluttered softly to the floor.

He slowed her down when she frantically tried to undo his shirt. "If you hold my gaze when you work on the buttons, I'll really like it."

She tried his suggestion and found the connection sensual. Reaching up, she slipped her fingers under his collar and pushed the fabric away from his shoulders. The contact with his warm skin had her pulse racing, and she tried to hurry getting his pants undone. Heath pulled back, stoking her with soothing words and plying her with ideas of how to slow things down on her own. She took his advice, loosening his belt slowly and removing it completely before starting on the button and zipper.

When she reached for his waistband, Heath stopped her again.

"Are you still certain you want to know everything?" His hand cupped her face.

Romy repeated her earlier request. "Yes. Everything."

Embrace the Magic—A Magical Affair (Excerpt 2)

Welcome to the weekly blog hop hosted by the Paranormal Love Wednesdays blog.

Readers: Embrace the magic, the mystical, the totally out there. Witches, werewolves, shapeshifters, magicians, wizards—the dearly twisted beings we all know and love. Or sink into a world with gods and goddesses, unearthly forces, or cupids, imps, and leprechauns. If it's otherworldly, bring on the fun.

Today I'm sharing a little bit about the powerful enchanted illusions in A Magical Affair, my fantasy ménage set around Halloween.

Jarvin's lips curved in a knowing smile. "Heath, your lovely Romy has some very specific things planned for your stay here. The Meadows is a remarkable place, sitting atop an ancient wellspring of magic." He paused when Heath narrowed his eyes. "I don't blame you for being skeptical, but please put aside your doubt." Jarvin turned and held out his hand. "Vivica, darling, let's show Heath what we can do."

A stunning blonde with an hourglass figure and a hot red dress came into view on the second floor. She smiled and started a slow walk from the end of the corridor leading toward the stairs. Before his eyes, she morphed from curvy to lean and leggy, wearing fuck-me heels and a sheer white negligee. Heath blinked, and when he looked again, her hair had changed to a shimmery black. Two steps later, she sported a short, cropped cut, dangly jewelry, and wore hiking boots with cutoff denim shorts and a halter in an ethnic print. When she reached the top of the stairs, Heath sucked in a breath. The walls and steps faded, replaced by a fire escape on the exterior of a brownstone building. She kicked the release and started a descent down the metal rungs. Halfway down, the scene changed again, the stone altered to an ornate, gilded interior with lush, carpeted steps, and Vivica now had an elaborate up-do in a shade of chestnut that complemented the emerald green sheath and matching shoes she wore. She reached the bottom and made her way toward Heath, grasping his hand in greeting.

Heath shot a sideways glance toward Jarvin. "Okay, very impressive. I won't even bother asking how, because frankly, I don't care. It's enough to know it's possible." He turned toward Romy and noticed the room had gone back to its original decor. "You never cease to amaze, Rom. One of the many reasons I love you."

Needless to say, Heath is very excited about what the weekend holds in store.

Sunday Snippet: Zeitgeist Hall

Holy crap. The ending for Bitten's latest episode is going to make waiting for the new one very difficult. I'm dying to see the last three episodes.

The Flash and Arrow also have me on the hot seat, impatiently awaiting the next showing. The Flash kind of messed with my mind and I really hope there's not a huge misstep coming up that's going to disappoint me. Arrow, on the other hand, can usually do no wrong, so the whole deal with Palmer and his meddling has me a little less concerned. I am a little twisted up over Lance falling back into Camp Opposition, but I have a feeling that's not going to last long. *fingers crossed*. I'm also wary over the fate of one of my faves. It's a gut thing and I hope I'm wrong… we'll see.

The Walking Dead season is almost over and I gotta say, this has been one of my favorites. It's so different from what we've had and I love it. Very sad about the loss of one of the new characters, but loved to see Eugene step up in a big way. Very curious about Gabriel and what's going on with him.

Enough television. Tonight's post is from Zeitgeist Hall, a novella full of humorous and sexy fun involving a curse and a creepy caretaker.

Here's the tagline:

Morley Graham and Watson Kinkead are off on a weekend adventure when they have serious car trouble and end up stranded at Zeitgeist Hall, a castle looming on the edge of a cliff. The creepy caretaker offers refuge, but Morley and Graham begin to suspect he's behind their stay when they discover a body in the tower.

And a preview snippet…

Morley Graham rolled away from Watson Kinkead, spent and sated. "God, I needed that." Watson's brand of sex always knocked her socks off.

He propped his head on his hand and gave her a sly smile. "I aim to please." His free hand skimmed along her side.

Goose bumps prickled along her still sensitive flesh. "Stop it. Or we'll end up back in the throes of passion, which would be kick ass awesome, but I really want to get started on our road trip." She sat up, stretching her arms over her head. "Having the next five days free isn't something I want to waste sitting around here." She leaned over and dropped a kiss on his lips. "Not that you'd bore me."

Watson smirked then reached under the pillow, dragging out a map of the city. "Yeah, yeah, that's the great sex talking." He sat up and rested his shoulders against the headboard. "But you get to do the honors." Spreading the unfolded map across their laps, he nodded. "Close your eyes and pick a spot."

She laughed. "Are you serious?" Her head angled toward his. "Just like that?"

He quirked a brow. "I filled up the car last night. We have a full tank of gas and five days of nothing to do. Choose our adventure." He wiggled the map back and forth.

Grinning, she shut her eyes and swirled her hand in the air before dropping her index finger on a spot. Her eyes popped open to see where they'd be headed.

Watson leaned in, studying the location. "Hmmm. Tiny little berg along the coast of Lake Juniper." He glanced up. "Should be fun, yeah?"

Morley smiled. "Absolutely. Anywhere that's not here is going to be a great time." She slid from under the tangled sheets. "Race you to the shower…"

Taking off at a run, she watched with glee when Watson mumbled a curse and got caught up in the sheets, almost losing his balance. She dashed through the doorway and just got the hot water turned on when he burst through after her.

She'd never consider life with Watson boring.

This one is such a treat to write. The sages are throwing lots of crazy ideas my way, most of which probably won't end up in the book, but who knows? LOL

That's it for this week.

Cheers!

Smokin' Hot—Hot Encounter: A Magical Affair

Welcome to the Hot for Friday blog hop!

Readers: Enjoy posts from authors with fun weekly tasks or a cool question.

Authors: Get in on the fun and join here.

Greetings!

This week we're tasked with sharing a hot encounter, whether it's the first time or one of many others between the characters. Awesome! Kick off the spring season with a nice steamy treat. :D

For my feature, I'm posting a scene from a current release, A Magical Affair, a steamy ménage set around Halloween.

For a little background, here are the taglines:

Book: A mansion atop a wellspring of magic lets Romy, Heath, and Stacie live out their fantasies.

Bring on the hot stuff…

Stacie lifted a leg and sidestepped the panties, kicking her shoes off before returning the gesture and removing Romy's scrap of lace. Romy took Stacie's hand and placed it over her mound. Stacie turned, giving Heath a wonderful view of her fingers sliding over Romy's folds before delving between them, going deep. Romy shuddered, and her eyes slid closed. Stacie used her other hand, squeezing and kneading Romy's breasts. Romy bucked against Stacie's hand, grabbing her head and tugging her forward for a hot kiss.

Heath bit back a groan at the wanton display, and his erection ached to take part. Romy took the lead again and nudged Stacie away to step around behind her. She trailed her fingers up and down Stacie's arms until goose bumps rose on the flesh.

Stacie moaned. "Please, Romy. You know what I want."

Romy whispered against Stacie's ear. "Yes, I do. Are you ready for it?"

Stacie nodded and lifted her arms, reaching behind her to wrap them around Romy.

Romy skimmed her hands upward along Stacie's ribs, then brushed her palms over the pebbled tips of Stacie's nipples before bringing her fingertips together to tug at the peaks. Stacie writhed, her hips thrusting forward. Romy smoothed one hand downward, drifting over Stacie's stomach, going lower to insert two fingers into Stacie's pussy.

Stacie hissed out a harsh breath. "God, that feels good."

Heath stayed sprawled on the bed, letting his anticipation build, and hoped the women would turn their attention on him soon. If they didn't, he'd take matters into his own hands and ruin his part of the bargain. Romy guided Stacie to the edge of the bed, directing her to sit at the foot of the mattress.

Romy withdrew her fingers and replaced them with Stacie's. "Keep yourself hot, Stace."

Stacie hovered on the edge, her role secondary to Romy's.

Romy crawled up onto the bed and smiled, sultry and catlike. She moved between Heath's legs, then bent over to lick his shaft from base to tip. Her eyes dared him to remain passive. He responded by grabbing her head and positioning her mouth over his cock. She licked her lips, opened wide, and enveloped his length, welcoming his involuntary thrust with a humming purr.

Bobbing her head up and down, she wrapped her fingers around his girth and used them to increase the tension. Her tongue swirled around, laving back and forth over the rigid hardness. Her free hand cupped his balls and fondled them with gentle pressure.

Stacie angled around and reached out, tucking a hand between Romy's legs to slide fingers along her wet folds. She used the other to rub her own clit in circular motions. She progressed quickly to pumping in and out, bringing both close to the brink of orgasm.

A very satisfied Stacie smoothly rolled onto her side, one foot reaching over to graze Heath's leg. "Well, Heath." A small shudder went through her. "That certainly surpassed my expectations." Her hand dropped to his shoulder, her fingers trailing over the play of muscle on his bicep.

Heath angled his head toward her. "Mine, too." He snagged her lips for a kiss, then cupped her cheek. "How long will the transformation last?" His mouth grazed along her jawline.

Stacie chuckled. "Vivica assures me I'll be back to normal as soon as I exit your suite."

Heath met her gaze. "It's incredible, isn't it? I mean, geez Stace, you're one hot, uh… older woman."

Stacie waggled her eyebrows and nudged his shoulder. "I think the term you're looking for is cougar, Heath." She made a fist on his chest and propped her chin. "And seriously, if I look this good ten years from now, I want a repeat performance."

Heath barked out a laugh. "Stace, if you look as good in a decade—and you will—you'll have any hot, young stud you want." He eased out from under her and sat up, swinging his legs over the edge of the mattress. "By then, you won't wanna look twice in my direction."

Stacie snorted and rose up behind him, draping her arms over his shoulders. "Don't sell yourself short, Heath. Like I said, Romy's got excellent taste."

Today I'm sharing how Romy and Stacie plan the wonderful weekend for Heath in A Magical Affair, my fantasy ménage set around Halloween.

"You're sure about this?" Stacie Williams plopped down beside Romy Bludd. "Our friendship is more important than me having a weekend of super-hot sex with an awesome guy like Heath."

Romy smiled. "Stace, I'm okay because you're my best friend. Heath and I've had this fantasy for two years, and I had issues with bringing someone else in and not being able to control everything." She paused. "But I know you almost better than I know myself. You won't go over-the-top stalker, and you're not harboring any deep, unrequited love for Heath. You just appreciate his hard body and screaming good looks." Kicking her feet up onto the table, she shrugged. "You're not in a relationship at the moment, so no awkward trying to explain why you're traipsing off to a magical mansion for a Halloween weekend tryst—and don't want company."

Stacie grinned. "You're lucky I'm at loose ends and haven't had time to do more than look for a hookup." She propped her feet beside Romy's.

Romy frowned. "I can't believe you were gone for ten months. I missed you." She nudged Stacie's shoulder. "You're never allowed to take off for training abroad again."

Stacie laughed. "Think of it this way, you and Heath had plenty of time to work the kinks out and look at you now." She turned and faced Romy. "Rock solid and happier than I've ever seen you."

Sunday Snippet: X-Treme Justice

March 15, 2015

Ugh. A full week later and I'm still moving files and cleaning up the older computers. Then again, several editing deadlines crept up on me and I got hit with a couple of scenes for two WIPs, so yeah, not going to complain. LOL I also had to take an online course and finished it up today. YAY!

Banshee had a great finale! Without spoiling too much, I'm glad to see the end of one particular character, sad to see the end of one, and very intrigued about the fate of a few others, including Hood. I can't wait for the next season!

Happy to say The Walking Dead didn't lose anyone important last week. We'll see if the streak continues tonight.

Still waiting on the return of The Flash and Arrow, back this week. WooHoo! Getting a few glimpses of Strike Back and Orphan Black, which can't get here soon enough. Found out the US premiere date for Bitten, April 17, if memory serves. The latest episode ended up being way better than I expected. Looking forward to next week's.

I think that's it for TV news. Tonight's post is from, X-Treme Justice, a novella with meta-humans and witty banter.

Here's the tagline:

The double X gene found in junk DNA makes life very interesting for a group of humans. Nyx Boit reshapes matter with her force of will. Cythe Baldetto literally has blades of steel at his fingertips. When Cythe is sent to recruit Nyx, she wants no part of his offer. To make her point, she converts his arrows, darts, and knives into liquid pools at his feet. Finally meeting his match, Cythe figures recruiting Nyx is out, but wooing her is most definitely in.

And a preview snippet…

Nyx Boit crouched low, her palm face down and open over the concrete floor. The smooth surface bubbled under her focused attention. Three bowling ball-sized balls floated up, hovering beside her shoulder. She might be trapped in this shitsville warehouse, but she would not go down without drawing blood.

She moved forward, the projectiles staying close to her hip. "You've got ten seconds to make your move." Her hand lifted and the mottled orbs rose high in the air, fracturing into pea-shaped balls. "Or get ready to have a kick ass headache." The large mass she controlled spread out in front of her, ready to move on her whim.

A man, clad in faded jeans and tight midnight blue t-shirt, dropped down from the steel rafters, landing only a few feet in front of her. He made a swiping motion with his hand and darts shot from his fingertips, deflecting five rows of her concrete orbs out of his path.

Two steps forward and he had her biceps in his harsh grip. "I've already got a headache and you're it." He gave her a shake then hefted her over his shoulder. "Move made, sweet cheeks." His long stride crossed toward the exit.

But she didn't plan to leave just yet. "Yeah, how's this for a counter?" With a quick flick of her wrist, a hail of liquid cement swirled around them, splattering both. "And for the bonus points…" She snapped her fingers and the blobs hardened, slowing him down. "And for the super score…" Directing her gaze ahead of him, she focused her attention, concentrating with effort.

The smooth surface rippled, liquefying and spreading across from one exterior wall to the other. He growled, frustrated, but couldn't stop in time to avoid the puddle of wet cement. Dropping up to his knees in the mire, he lost his hold on her and she went sideways to land with a squishy plop about five feet to his right.

He shot her a scathing glance. "I think you failed to achieve the super score." He wiped the hardening splotches from his face.

She groaned. "Epically." Twisting to her side, she got up on her hands and knees. "Go on then. I'm trapped by my own stupidity. Kill me and get it over with." Her bangs dripping slimy sludge onto her nose, she fought the urge to swipe them out of her way.

Her hands were covered and she'd only make the mess worse.

His eyes widened. "I'm not here to kill you, you twit." He shrugged out of his shirt, wiping his face semi-clean. "I've been sent to recruit you."

Nyx lost the battle and finally shoved her hair out of her face, leaving a gritty streak along her hairline. "Recruit me? For what?"

I love the way these two interact. So much fun to write.

That's it for this week.

Cheers!

Smokin' Hot—Hot and Bothered: A Little Yule Magick

Welcome to the Hot for Friday blog hop!

Readers: Enjoy posts from authors with fun weekly tasks or a cool question.

Authors: Get in on the fun and join here.

Greetings!

This week we're tasked with sharing a scene with sexual tension to leave us hot and bothered. Nice! Especially if you live in a cold climate… like Ohio in March. Seriously, I have to remind myself I was wearing shorts and flip flops in October sometimes. LOL

For my feature, I'm posting a scene from a holiday themed book, A Little Yule Magick.

For a little background, here is the book tagline:

Boyd and Sygin use a Little Yule Magick to get their holiday off on the right start.

Bring on the tension…

Sygin grinned. "I promise to make it worth your while."

Boyd quirked a brow. "Oh yeah? Care to share how?"

Sygin paused outside the door to the east wing. "No details, but since we'll be out finding our Yule log, use your imagination." She pushed the handle on the door and entered the long hallway leading to their suite.

Boyd waggled his eyebrows. "Hmmm. You know that might not be a good idea. I have a highly developed sensory perception."

Sygin snorted. "Then I guess I better out do myself from the last time." She took off, sprinting along the plush carpet and stopped outside their front door. "Starting with a nice little warm up in the shower." She twisted the knob, dashed inside the apartment then dragged her shirt over her head.

She tossed it outside the entrance and laughed, running to the bathroom and starting the water.

Boyd took his time, closing and locking the heavy oak door then placing a ward hex as an extra layer of protection. Students on their last day before break liked to prank their teachers. He should know, he'd done the same.

Grinning, he popped the button on his dungarees, eased the zipper down, and headed toward the sound of running water. Pushing the denim past his hips, he entered the space and caught sight of Sygin, naked under the spray. She never ceased to make him hard and ready within moments.

A good thing, considering they had a bunch of students to get home for the Yule break.

Stepping out of his pants, he entered the shower enclosure and joined Sygin under the steamy mist.

I'm revisiting a current release, A Magical Affair, a fantasy ménage with lots of fun role-playing scenarios. Over the next few weeks, I'll post a few pivotal scenes between Heath, Remy, and Stacie.

This week, we meet Remy and Stacie who are planning their magical weekend.

Book Tagline: A mansion atop a wellspring of magic lets Romy, Heath, and Stacie live out their fantasies.

Jarvin's lips curved in a knowing smile. "Heath, your lovely Romy has some very specific things planned for your stay here. The Meadows is a remarkable place, sitting atop an ancient wellspring of magic." He paused when Heath narrowed his eyes. "I don't blame you for being skeptical, but please put aside your doubt." Jarvin turned and held out his hand. "Vivica, darling, let's show Heath what we can do."

A stunning blonde with an hourglass figure and a hot red dress came into view on the second floor. She smiled and started a slow walk from the end of the corridor leading toward the stairs. Before his eyes, she morphed from curvy to lean and leggy, wearing fuck-me heels and a sheer white negligee. Heath blinked, and when he looked again, her hair had changed to a shimmery black. Two steps later, she sported a short, cropped cut, dangly jewelry, and wore hiking boots with cutoff denim shorts and a halter in an ethnic print. When she reached the top of the stairs, Heath sucked in a breath. The walls and steps faded, replaced by a fire escape on the exterior of a brownstone building. She kicked the release and started a descent down the metal rungs. Halfway down, the scene changed again, the stone altered to an ornate, gilded interior with lush, carpeted steps, and Vivica now had an elaborate up-do in a shade of chestnut that complemented the emerald green sheath and matching shoes she wore. She reached the bottom and made her way toward Heath, grasping his hand in greeting.

Heath shot a sideways glance toward Jarvin. "Okay, very impressive. I won't even bother asking how, because frankly, I don't care. It's enough to know it's possible." He turned toward Romy and noticed the room had gone back to its original decor. "You never cease to amaze, Rom. One of the many reasons I love you."

Book Blurb: Romy Bludd and Heath Graystone are very adventurous and happily explore the wilder side of sex. Romy meets Jarvin and Vivica, who give her an opportunity to spend Halloween weekend at Magic Meadows, a mansion sitting atop an ancient wellspring of magic. Romy accepts the offer because she and Heath want to add someone else to the mix and Romy's best friend, Stacie, is back from a ten month stay abroad. The timing couldn't be better for the trio to live out their lustful fantasies.

The mansion and its owners are capable of wondrous transformations, giving Romy and Stacie a wealth of choices to rock Heath's world. A character from his favorite urban thriller, a cougar on the prowl, the plain librarian who wants to hook up with her boss, a roller derby diva with aggression issues, and a reporting duo with blackmail on their minds are on the agenda for the romp-filled weekend.

Heath is thrilled, but he really wants one thing—for Romy to give up control and let him call the shots.

Today I'm sharing the origins behind A Magical Affair, my fantasy ménage set around Halloween.

Romy Bludd and Heath Graystone are very adventurous and happily explore the wilder side of sex. Romy meets Jarvin and Vivica, who give her an opportunity to spend Halloween weekend at Magic Meadows, a mansion sitting atop an ancient wellspring of magic. Romy accepts the offer because she and Heath want to add someone else to the mix and Romy's best friend, Stacie, is back from a ten month stay abroad. The timing couldn't be better for the trio to live out their lustful fantasies.

The mansion and its owners are capable of wondrous transformations, giving Romy and Stacie a wealth of choices to rock Heath's world. A character from his favorite urban thriller, a cougar on the prowl, the plain librarian who wants to hook up with her boss, a roller derby diva with aggression issues, and a reporting duo with blackmail on their minds are on the agenda for the romp-filled weekend.

Heath is thrilled, but he really wants one thing—for Romy to give up control and let him call the shots. Romy's got a wealth of experience, but submitting to anyone is not in her playbook. Stacie gives her best friend a nudge and promises Romy won't be sorry if she fulfills Heath's ultimate fantasy.

As the weekend progresses, Jarvin and Vivica make enacting every sexy, sensual request an incredible experience. Romy hovers on the brink of making a few alterations to the final scenario of the weekend. Heath always goes with the flow, giving her free rein to experiment and push boundaries. She really can't do anything less for him.
