We’re so excited to have the SNEAK PEEK Anthology releasing.

Shelley Bradley and I had always wanted to do a duet anthology together, and we brainstormed our books, our characters, and her book Watch Me and my book Show Me came together. We even had our characters make guest appearances in each others’ books. We had a blast and I hope it shows in these stories.

The greatest gift is getting what you never thought you wanted.

Mitch Magruder, rich, successful, wildly popular surfer and entrepreneur, is always on the lookout for the next big wave or the next great deal. So when he’s home for the holidays, he jumps at the chance to build one of his famous hotels right on the white, sandy, Florida beach where he grew up. The only thing standing in his way is Greta Mason.

Divorced with two children, Greta welcomes the struggle to make ends meet at the ramshackle beachfront motel her father left her. The motel means everything to her, and no amount of money—or hot nights of persuasion—offered by gorgeous, sexy Mitch is going to change her mind. No matter how much his touch unravels her defenses.

For once, Mitch finds he’s the one doing the chasing, and Greta’s doing more than throwing a monkey wrench into his perfectly orchestrated world. She’s making him think about things he’s never considered before, things other than the pursuit of money. Things like settling down with the right woman.

Now if only he can convince her he wants more than hot sex, moonlit nights, and her hotel…

Fall Makes Me Hungry

So we’re officially into fall weather here, though we still have lots of days in the 70’s. Then again, 70’s is not the 90’s. And that means there’s a change in me.

Beyond not wearing flip flops and tank tops nonstop, I begin…cooking.

The Olympics - A Social Lesson

Like a lot of people, I’ve been glued to the television over the past couple weeks watching the Olympics. One of my favorite events is gymastics. The dedication these gymnasts have to have to perfect their craft astounds me.

Nothing Personal Releases in Print!

I’m so thrilled this story has released in print. It’s a fun marriage of convenience story set in Las Vegas about a millionaire and his assistant and a rather large favor he asks of her. I had so much fun writing this book, and I’m so thrilled Samhain gave me a chance to bring Faith and Ryan’s romance to the readers.

I hope you enjoy it!

It was nothing personal, just a business arrangement.

But love rarely listens to logic, and what follows is anything but business.

An Extra Day!

Today is Leap Year day, so we get an extra day this year! How exciting is that? I’ve decided I’m not counting today as one of those run of the mill standard days, but rather a bonus day, a day that doesn’t really count. That means I shouldn’t have to work today, right? I can use it to do anything I want to do.

That opens up all kinds of possibilities. What would I do with a free day, a day without responsibilities, a day that, in essence, doesn’t exist?

It Takes A Village

I’m not sure how some authors feel about being edited, but personally, I love it. Maybe I’m the odd one, but I always look forward to my editor getting hold of my book and putting her red marks all over it.

New Release - UNWRAPPED by Jaci Burton

I’m pleased to announce the release of my Christmas novella, UNWRAPPED. Happy Holidays and I hope this book helps warm your season.

When Justin Garrett accidentally views Amy Parker’s private online journal, he sees the cold corporate exec in a brand new light. It seems the icy, unapproachable Amy has fantasies. Fantasies that both appall and intrigue her.

No one knows the real Amy Parker, and she’s satisfied to keep it that way. A woman with kinky tastes wouldn’t cut it in the straight-laced law firm where she’s fought her way to partnership. And she certainly refuses to let a man younger than her use her to advance in the firm. Justin Garrett might be brilliant, gorgeous and sexy as hell, but he’s firmly implanted in her fantasies and that’s where he’ll stay.

While working together on a corporate acquisition in Hawaii over the Christmas holidays, Justin sets out to make Amy’s dreams come true. But first he has to warm her frosty heart and show her that he’s interested in her as a woman, not as a way to advance his career. By giving her exactly what she’s always wished for—a night of passion with two men who adore her—he hopes to climb right into her heart. And he knows the ideal other man to help unwrap the perfect Christmas gift for Amy.

Excerpt that follows after the jump is adult oriented.

Cleansing The Genre Palate

I write paranormal romance and contemporary romance, which means that typically my life is deeply embedded in those two genres. I live it, breathe it, and often dream it. I spend a lot of time plotting, writing and editing my books, deeply immersed in the worlds I create.

I also do a lot of reading in my chosen genre. I like to stay abreast of what my peers are doing in the genres I write in, so I also read a lot of paranormal romance and contemporary romance. And frankly, I love these two genres. I wouldn’t be writing them if I didn’t.
