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.
Ryan McKay is a multi-millionaire with a problem. He needs a bride to fulfill terms of his grandfather’s will. Unfortunately, the one he chose just bailed on him and he’s hours away from losing his company. Enter Faith Lewis – his shy, devoted assistant. Ryan convinces Faith to step in and marry him, assuring her their marriage is merely a business deal. Ryan is certain he can keep this strictly impersonal. After all, he’s the product of a loveless marriage and for years has sealed his own heart in an icy stone. Despite Faith’s warmth, compassion and allure, he’s convinced he’s completely immune to her charms.
Faith will do anything for her boss, but marry him? The shy virgin sees herself as plain and unattractive, a product of a bitter mother who drummed it into her head that she wasn’t worthy of a man’s love. But she agrees to help Ryan fulfill the terms of his grandfather’s will, hoping she doesn’t lose her heart to him in the process.
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.
