Texas-Sized Secrets

Harlequin Intrigue
Mar 2008
ISBN: 9780373693191

At five months pregnant, Mona Grainger was facing danger on all fronts. With cattle rustlers driving her ranch to ruin, she needed a man ready for long hours and hard work. Enter Reed Bryson, who could ride, rope, kiss…and certainly handle a gun.

His new boss may have depended on him more than she’d liked, but Reed wasn’t hired to do her dirty work. She could do that herself. He was there to defend her land and cool down the hot-headed sheriff, whose advances threatened everything Mona held dear. Now the lone cowboy had more than his honor to uphold—he had a petite, pregnant powerhouse running his senses wild.

About Elle James

Award-winning author Elle James grew up as an air force military brat. She received her work ethic from her rock-solid father, her creative streak from her artistic mother and inspiration from her writing partner and sister, Delilah Devlin. As a former member of the army reserves and a current member of the air force reserves, she’s traveled across the United States and to Germany, managed a full-time job, and raised three wonderful children. She and her husband have even tried their hands at ranching exotic birds (ostriches, emus and rheas) in the Texas hill country. Ask her, and she’ll tell you what it’s like to go toe-to-toe with an angry three-hundred-and-fifty-pound bird and live to tell about it!

Her adventures in the army and air force reserves, and the wild antics of her life on a small ranch in Texas give her fodder for mystery, suspense and humor in her writing. Elle writes gothic, paranormal mystery for the Harlequin Intrigue line and paranormal romantic comedy for Dorchester Publishing. A former manager of computer programming and project management professionals, Elle is happy she now has the opportunity to pursue her writing full time. Elle’s paranormal romantic comedy, To Kiss a Frog, won the Romance Writers of America’s 2004 Golden Heart for Best Paranormal Romance.

Wild, Wild Women Of The West
by Myla Jackson
0-7582-1981-4
Genre: Western Historical

Cowboys, lawmen, and lots of leather…but those sexy men in chaps and Stetsons have nothing on these wild women…

“A Taste of Honey” by Delilah Devlin

One look at rugged Sheriff Joe Tanner and Honey Cafferty knows she’s about to break all the rules. Tanner wants her traveling wagon of elixirs and potions run out of town, but what she wants is him. The rugged lawman is sexier than sin…

“Queen of Hearts” by Layla Chase

Riverboat owner Roark Sheridan knows the ins and outs of card playing—he won the Queen of Hearts in a poker game, after all. Sultry gambler Lissa Tayte is another kind of hold’em. And it’s a hot game from beginning to end…

“Touch of Magic” by Myla Jackson

Sleight of hand, feats of daring, mesmerism—the Amazing Catarina can do anything. When cowboy Trace Adams scoffs at her, she puts him into a trance. He’s under her sensual spell, and in her arms…

“Readers who can’t resist sexy, rugged cowboys will enjoy this collection of sizzling tales. Each story is different and entertaining; there’s not a weak one in the bunch. Virile cowboys, clever plots and arousing descriptions will make readers sigh with satisfaction.”
– Romantic Times BOOKreviews

About Myla Jackson

Myla Jackson began writing in 3rd grade when she penciled a story about a princess in a castle in a magical land. She’s been telling stories ever since. Her parents can verify, but I wouldn’t ask them about their gray hair! It took the turn of the century for her to seriously pursue her writing. Her older sister, Delilah Devlin, (that’s right, she’s the older one!) challenged her to write a romance novel and together they began the journey to publication.

After many writing contests, critique groups and successes along the way, Myla won the 2004 RWA Golden Heart for Best Paranormal Romance and sold her first novel. In 2005, she released TROUBLE WITH HARRY with Ellora’s Cave, thus launching the writing debut of her more sensual stories.

She enjoys writing fast, fun and sinfully sexy stories that elicit laughter as well as tears from her readers. And she still works closely with her sister, Delilah, the devilish Diva and goddess of sizzling sex scenes.

Welcome to The Capture Agency, a fantasy dating service for dominant men who know what they like and how they like it, and women who can handle limitless pleasure. After being matched with a partner, the male will capture his date and make her a slave to passion. This exclusive service is for couples who aren’t afraid to push the limits, let go of their inhibitions and lose themselves in the fantasy.

Clients include Chase Hunter, the agency’s owner, who decides to break his cardinal rule against dating clients and capture a woman for the first time. Kane Woods, a man of superior size and strength who’s always had to reign in his desires–until now. And Gage Michael, who learns that his ex is using the service…and decides to capture her. Will these couples enjoy a hot romp between the sheets, or will they capture each other’s hearts?

“Charlene Teglia brings our fantasies of capture and bondage to the forefront with her latest release SATISFACTION GUARANTEED. These three interconnecting stories are told with heart, heat and a whole lot of hope…Ms. Teglia is a talented author who writes in a variety of romance genres and never leaves her readers wanting – expect maybe for her next book. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED is a prime example of what makes her one of my favorites – storylines that seduce both the mind and spirit.”
- Romance Junkies

“Hot, hot, hot! There is no other way to describe Satisfaction Guaranteed. Each of these stories has gorgeous, sexy men and women who aren’t afraid to ask for what they want…Charlene Teglia is a fresh voice in the erotica genre, and it will be a pleasure to read subsequent works by this author.”
- Fallen Angel Reviews

About Charlene Teglia

Charlene Teglia decided she wanted to earn a living writing fiction at age twelve. After piling up enough written pages to sink Atlantis again, she sat down to write a novel and find out if it would sell. The first novel was so much fun that she got carried away and kept going, although it took another eight years to make her first novel sale.

In between, she worked for various software and technology companies. She left HP when she realized she wanted to write printer repair instructions in iambic pentameter. They thought she was so funny, they left her name plate on her cube after she left like a shrine. Or maybe it was as a warning to others. She lives in Washington with her husband and two daughters.

Today, I’m showcasing fellow Allure and Wicked Writer Sasha White’s WICKED, and she’s generously offered to give away a copy of this fabulous book to one of the 30 winners in the Picture You with AFI contest!

Berkley Heat
ISBN-10: 0425219186
ISBN-13: 978-0425219188

"White turns up the heat with electrifying erotic scenes and a delicious alpha hero. It’s a realistic portrayal of two commitment-phobic people who turn sex games into romance. Fans will recognize some secondary characters from previous books, and new characters add just enough conflict to make things interesting. The plot moves at a good pace, and the sex is edgy, including threesomes and a M/M couple."
— Romantic Times Magazine

Readers first met Karl Dawson in BOUND, they’ll get to know him a little better in TROUBLE, but one woman will learn all in WICKED.

Bad-boy divorce attorney Karl Dawson has seen all the ways love can go wrong. That’s why he’s given up on it. Jaded and feeling restless, he has playmates, not girlfriends. A leather-clad Dominant, he comes and goes in the city’s after-dark playgrounds as he pleases. That’s how he likes it.

Lara Fox is an independent jack-of-all-trades who can do anything she sets her mind to - except that falling-in-love thing. She’s got a need for control too strong for most men, and an inability to walk away from a challenge. Including a challenge like Karl. He’s cocky, arrogant, and demanding. That’s how she needs it.

They’re perfect for each other. But what begins as a sensual battle of wills turns into a journey neither is prepared for when Lara is threatened and emotional walls start to crumble.

After fifteen years as a bartender she’s decided the stories in her head need to be put down for other people to enjoy as well.

READ AN EXCERPT »

When Sasha and I were in New York in March, she handed me a copy of WICKED and asked me to read the first few pages. I can’t remember why she asked me to do this, but I remember being mad at her for having to give the book back (it was already earmarked for someone else). I’ve since obtained my own copy.
