Touching Lace--new release!
Howdy Folks!
I’m very excited about my newest Samhain release. Come on, just look at that cover! Isn’t it romantic? Scott Carpenter is amazing! Thank you, Scott!
You may not be aware of this, but Touching Lace is the start of a two book (maybe more) series. The next in the Vaughn Series, Tasting Candy, comes out in June. Both stories will be in a single author anthology next year. Yay!
Why is this particular story so important to me? First, I’ve always loved reading best friends to lovers stories. I guess because my husband and I are best friends, so it seemed natural for me to write that type of romance. Also, Lacey’s fear of being inadequate in the bedroom is something I think a lot of women can relate to and the way Nick goes about helping her is nothing short of genius on his part. Men are very resourceful when they see something they want, aren’t they? And Nick really wants Lacey. He’s waited long enough and when he sees his chance he dives right in. Just like a man! lol
Here’s a blurb:
Taking friendship to a whole new level…
Lacey Vaughn is tired of being dumped on by men. It’s clear she needs help in the ways of seduction. Over cappuccinos, Lacey shares her worries with pal Nick Stone. Being the good friend that he is, Nick offers to give Lacey a few pointers in the ways of sexual pleasure. From his first touch, Lacey forgets all about lessons. Now all she wants is more of his luscious body and skillful touches.
Nick’s craved Lacey for months. He’s done watching her waste herself on losers. It’s time she saw him as more than the dreaded good friend. He’ll do nearly anything to have the little spitfire all for himself.
But in order to get Lacey past her insecurities, Nick will have to put it all on the line—including his heart—and pray he doesn’t lose her forever.

Connie
Hi Karen,
Thanks for stopping by! I really hope you like the story!
Connie,
Thanks bunches. I just hope my story stands up to the fantastic cover! :)
Thanks to all for the comments. But I only make the covers match the writers vision. A hot book deserves a hot cover. Of course after Anne talking to me I couldn’t put the visions she told me into art. X rated covers are not allowed.
Anne is a sweetheart. She’s going to be a guest in my next months newsletter too. The poor woman.
Scott
