Veiled Desire: Now Available!
I am so excited to announce the release of Veiled Desire today!
Look, but don’t touch…
Leyla Karimi can’t keep her eyes off the hunky guy living in the house behind her. How could any woman resist ogling Dr. Mason Barrett, especially when he makes it so easy by parading around in his skin and skivvies?
If it was only their age difference, she would have made a move a long time ago. Except Mason is more than a neighbor. He’s her baby brother’s oldest friend. It’s not like they can have a casual fling and walk away in the morning.
Mason’s been doing a little lusting—okay a lot—for quite some time. When he catches Leyla peeking, it’s a sure sign she could finally be ready to heat up his nights with loving. One taste of her lips, though, and he doesn’t want a “little” of anything. He wants it all.
Unwilling to jeopardize a lifetime of friendship for a one-night stand, Leyla is reluctant to throw caution to the wind. When he’s kissing her senseless, though, it’s hard to remember all the reasons why she should hold back…
Warning: Contains a hot hero who doesn’t mind baring it all in the name of love, a heroine who doesn’t settle for less, a sweet romance, steamy sex in a car and more good lovin’ in bed.
Available everywhere you buy your e-books!

Glutton for Pleasure...In Print!

Glutton for Pleasure came out in print this month and I cannot tell you how excited I am. I tried to play it cool. I tried to be calm.
I can’t do it. After all, this is my very first print book. MY FIRST PRINT BOOK!!!
Ahem. Sorry. It’s just a huge deal for me. I mean, when Glutton came out in e, I was through the roof with happiness. But there’s just something about holding your first book in your hands, stroking that lovely cover, thumbing through the pristine pages, it’s…sigh. Awesome.
To share the awesomeness, I am giving away a copy (my first autographed copy!) on my blog (http://alisharai.wordpress.com) this week. Check it out.
Thanks for listening to my squeals of joy. I hope the new decade brings you much happiness as well, and lots of time to read.
Blurb below:
Cookies=Magic
If you didn’t quite realize it from the loops of Christmas music in the stores or the commercials on T.V., the holidays are here! You know what that means.
Food.
Glorious food.
Cabin Fever: Now Available!

I could barely sleep last night, I was so very excited about today. Glutton for Pleasure was my first published book, but Cabin Fever was the first book I believed in enough to get serious about my writing. Over three years, it’s gone through more than a couple of overhauls in plot, length, names, and settings. One thing that has never changed, for me at least, is the essence of the main characters. I loved this hero and heroine so much, I just couldn’t ignore them or deny them their hard won happily ever after.
I sincerely hope you enjoy Genevieve and Alex’s story.
BLURB:
Big and Tall
Not too long ago I sent a first chapter of a new story off to a friend to critique. When I got it back, I opened it up, all eager to check out her initial reaction. Everything looked solid until I came to the part where I had described the hero as “average” in height, just an inch or two taller than the heroine. The words had been highlighted, with a typed comment in the corner: “NOT very heroic.”
Huh, I thought. When did height become a heroic quality?
The Right Way to Rewrite
Rewrites have been on my mind lately. About two years ago, I sat down and wrote my first legitimate piece of erotic romantic fiction. It only came out to around ten thousand words, but it had a beginning, middle, and end.
Until that point, I’d never ended a single story. Ever. I had a whole file full of novels that ended after the first chapter. But then I’d get bored, or convince myself the piece wasn’t going anywhere, and I’d trash it.
As proud as I was of my first finished work, I just couldn’t seem to find a home for it. Two months ago, I decided to take another look at this novella. I dusted it off, “rewrote” it, and it came out to about thirty to forty thousand words. I’m putting quotes around rewrite, because I didn’t realize until recently that I hadn’t really rewritten anything. I’d added scenes, made it longer, but I’d never bothered to delete anything or change the general plot and scene sequences, which is an essential part of rewriting.
Glutton for Pleasure
I feel like I’ve been waiting forever to announce this: Glutton for Pleasure releases today! This story was such fun to write…not only did I get to play with two hot men, but thanks to the setting, I got the very cool chance to incorporate a bit of the culture and flavor of my own heritage. Menage + good food = win, in my opinion.
I sincerely hope Devi, Jace and Marcus satisfy your hunger.
Blurb:
They’re craving something sweet. She likes it spicy.
