The Equal Rights Blog Hop

For Bron who moved across the country so her FF romance would come true.

My only female cousin was thirteen years older than me, so by the time I was old enough to know she was my cousin, she already seemed completely grown up to my little girl self. One by one my cousins got married but Bron didn’t. I longed for her to tell me she was engaged because I planned to ask to be her flower girl, but all that happened was that she took a job in a state a long way from where we lived. I was much older before I understood that she and her female best friend were closer than that. And it was even longer before I understood that where she and her lover had chosen to live was a state that accepted lesbians.

It was Bron who opened my eyes to the obstacles that two women face in finding their own happy ever after. I’m so glad she and Nancy found theirs in the end.

For a chance to win your choice of one of my backlist digital books answer this question:
What is my cousin’s name?

A willing slave to possession, punishment, pleasure…

Tina Donahue is visiting me today, talking about her new release, "Taking Eve". And there is a CONTEST!

Blurb:

A willing slave to possession, punishment, pleasure…

Dreams of a manor where submission and dominance once ruled draws Faith to hypnotherapist Colin Danes. Potently virile, he looks remarkably like her most cherished master from a past life. Desire smolders in his eyes, proving he’s never forgotten her.
Their carnal dance continues in the present and leads to their past when she was known as Eve. Through hypnotherapy, Colin brings her back to the Victorian era, a hidden estate where she eagerly submits to whatever he and her other noble masters crave. The exquisite discipline of the strap. Being bid on and mounted each night. Displayed and used for the enjoyment of all.
Most will take her. One will try to imprison her. Only he will be her true master in that life and this.


Excerpt #2:

Eve was still bathing when he came for her. A man whose presence she’d frequently felt. A stranger she’d often seen riding past this cottage, his steed magnificent, a sorrel with a startling white mane and tail.
At those times, she’d noted the man’s well-defined features, noble bearing, the way his attention had focused on her alone. How his gaze had lingered and possessed, warming her skin, calling to everything female within her, demanding her submission. She’d given it, not moving, scarcely drawing a breath, her work forgotten.
Nothing except him had mattered.
Not once had he spoken or made a demand. During his increasingly prolonged observations of her, he’d been content—or obliged—to do no more than look.
Now, she saw the rope he held in one gloved hand.
Eve’s belly fluttered.
The ends of the rope jumped as he moved past the doorway, his height requiring him to stoop to avoid striking his head. He wore no top hat. Snow dusted his dark hair and shoulders. His ankle-length cloak was of fine black wool, lined with fur, his eveningwear consisting of a dark coat cinched at the waist and trousers of the same color. Fresh milk couldn’t compete with the flawless white of his vest and cravat, tied perfectly about his throat.
He closed the door, bolting it against interruption of what he was about to do.
The thought of it—and the metal’s sharp clack—caused Eve to start. Her pulse pounded fiercely. The candles Mrs. Trumble had lit stopped flickering at the wind’s departure. A few stray snowflakes floated in the air.
Eve felt none of the chill that he’d brought inside, only intense heat, spreading from her chest to her belly and cunt, then to her neck. Her throat tightened, not allowing her to make any sound as he stopped just short of the tub. Close enough for her to see his lushly lashed eyes, of the purest blue, more glorious than any sky.
He regarded her naked breasts to the exclusion of every other part of her and spoke for the first time. “Pull back your arms and arch your back. Present yourself to me.”
His voice was quiet yet commanding, smooth yet rough with arousal.
Unsteady with desire, Eve did as he wanted. She had no other choice. She wanted none. With her back arched and her arms drawn back, she lifted her breasts in offering.
He studied the ripe globes and her tightened nipples at a leisurely pace, moving from one side of the tub to the other to get his fill.
Eve remained a silent, obedient witness to his brazen perusal. Craving and enjoying it, desire pulsing through her.
A small smile touched his lips as her breasts quivered with her quick breaths. At length, his attention moved lower, to the part of her the bath continued to hide. Its violet-scented water reflected the candles’ flames, which tinted it gold and orange. Warm colors that hardly matched the heat blazing within Eve.
“You know what to expect?” he asked.
She nodded.
“All of it?”
Eve thought not, so she shook her head.
He seemed pleased by that and began, “From this moment forward, you’re never to cover yourself in any of your Masters’ presence. Your breasts, nipples, mouth, cunt, ass and anus are ours to use as we please. Whatever we require of you, no matter how demanding or indecent, you’re to obey with the greatest haste. You belong to us now. We have your agreement. Did you make it willingly?”
Eve had.

“Tony’s Tiara” blurb:

Tony’s sister Sharon has spent a year planning the perfect wedding. Tony’s very nervous about being on display on stage as one of her attendants, and that’s before everything goes wrong. Lost tiaras, drunk groomsmen, the list is endless. Without the love and support of Josh, Tony simply would never have survived the weekend. What else could possibly go wrong?

PG Excerpt
They were still lying in each other's arms and Josh was thinking they should shower, when Tony's cell phone rang. Immediately he knew it would be about Sharon's wedding. It wasn't even eight o'clock yet, but no one else would be calling this early.
Tony scrabbled on the nightstand and answered his cell phone, hitting the speaker function. "Yes?"
Sharon's hysterical voice came clearly from the phone. "We're all at the beautician and I've forgotten my tiara."
"Huh?"
"My tiara. The beautician can't style my hair without my tiara. You have to bring me my tiara."
"Oh. Okay. Sure. Where is it?"
"Back in town. More than two hours away. In my apartment. I forgot my tiara." Sharon's voice had a distinctly anguished tinge to it. Josh looked at Tony worriedly. How would he cope with this latest melodrama?
But Tony handled it like a professional. Josh was incredibly proud of him. "Send someone here to my hotel room with your apartment keys while I have a shower and get dressed. Now tell me, exactly where is your tiara? Which room is it in?"
Josh climbed out of bed and jumped into the shower while Tony continued to talk to Sharon. One of them needed to be dressed when whoever it was got here with Sharon's apartment keys. He'd need to gas up the car as well, after all the running around yesterday to collect the drunk groomsmen. Hmm. He'd better wear his suit. Who knew if there'd be time to change? He wouldn't put the jacket on, but the rest of the clothes, definitely.
When he came out of the bathroom, Tony had a pile of clean underwear on the bed. "I'll wear my jeans and a tee shirt but take the attendant's clothes with me in case we're late." Tony ducked into the bathroom and turned the water on, then stuck his head around the door. "What about the shoes? Which shoes should I wear?"
"I'd wear the nice ones."
"Okay."
A pounding on the hotel room door made Josh race to open it. One of the bridesmaids was there, Sharon's keys in her hand and a terrified look on her face. "The beautician is going to do Sharon's hair so the tiara goes on last. If you can't find it, buy another one. Don't come back without a tiara." The bridesmaid fled.
Josh stared at her departing back. "Yeah. Good advice."

Summer Sizzling Promo

I'm back on Summer Sizzling Promo for MFM week. This time I'm talking about my "Wolf Masters" series of books.

Naked for Her Two Masters (MFM) The Wolf Masters Bk 1

Andorra Yasbit’s father took off with a blonde bimbo and her stepmother closed their apartment. So Andorra hikes up a mountain and discovers a wonderful hot spring. The only problem is the werewolf who owns it is Master Kingston, who’s used to being pursued by gold digging women. And he has an equally Dominant best friend, Master Raleigh. They don’t believe she’s arrived by accident.

The two men take Andorra to the dungeon, but instead of being scared Andorra revels in the punishment and orgasms. The men can’t find any evidence Andorra has been lying to them, but Master Kingston can’t bring himself to trust her either. And the more time they spend together, the stronger the attraction between the three of them grows. Kingston is determined to break her and prove she’s deceitful. Raleigh wants to believe her but owes his allegiance to his Alpha. What can Andorra do to demonstrate she’s telling the truth?

“Undone by Her Two Masters” (MFM) “The Wolf Masters” book 2

Burned out human speech therapist, Nevis Greenway, has been recuperating at Hot Springs Mountain. She likes York Greenmountain with whom she plays cards, but he’s shown no interest in her. Until his best friend, the Dom Bronx Montaine, arrives.
Bronx is about to open a new branch office for the werewolf pack and he’s been told to take a woman with him. York suggests Nevis, and Bronx thinks she’ll suit him very well. Nevis is happy to go with them, and sleep with them, too, but just until the branch is established.
Once they arrive in Pine Corner, though, all bets are off as they try to work together, set up the transportation company, and play increasingly hot BDSM scenes all around the state, in the B-Train, the minivan, the trailer… And still Nevis won’t consider staying with them for very long.

Seduced by Her Two Masters (MFM) The Wolf Masters book 3

Anne Wade is a sculptor who lives at Pine Corner. She hires the Hot Springs Transportation company to deliver her valuable bronze sculptures to a New York gallery. Cody Winton, a driver, and Carson Mellor, the Hot Springs attorney, who are both werewolf shape-shifters, go along with her in the big rig to guard the sculptures—and her.
Carson hates the city, that’s why he moved to Pine Corner, but he can’t bear to be away from Anne. Cody’s just new and still learning the job. Anne is a sculptor first and foremost, and her entire future rests on the safety and success of these bronzes.
But bronze is ninety percent copper, and robbers can easily melt such artworks down and make a lot of money from it. How can two men keep Anne and her sculptures safe on such a hazardous journey?

OUT TODAY! Gemstone Romances book 2

Blurb:
AJ has psychic abilities and knows Drew is her soul mate. But bisexual Drew flits from partner to partner. At the moment he’s with Kristien, and Kristien is very much in love with Drew. AJ can’t bear the thought that the only way for her to achieve happiness is to break Kristien’s heart.
She invites them both to join her and her friends at the beach for a few days, hoping to get closer to Drew. A rocky wall calls to her, and when she climbs up, she explores a cave and is led to three stones—an onyx, an emerald, and amber.
What do they mean?

EXCERPT PG13

“But you’re gay,” AJ said, choosing to ignore the bit about her needing protection.
“Have you ever watched two men kiss?” asked Kristien.
“Oh yes. It’s one of the hottest things I’ve ever seen.”
“So why wouldn’t I find the thought of you and Drew fucking, hot? Why wouldn’t I want to watch that?”
“I…. Um….”
“Exactly. Since you’ve found the stones and we’ve found you, I think we should seal our relationship right here, right now,” said Drew.
“What? You mean fuck? Here?”
“Why not? Like a Boy Scout, I’m always prepared,” said Drew, pulling a couple of condoms out of the zipped pocket of his board shorts.
Kristien walked to the other side of the cave. “There’s a nice clean patch of sand here. Since you’re going to be on the bottom of the pile, AJ, you’d better let us put our swimwear down first. At least we can keep the sand out of your hair and girly bits.”
AJ stood there with her brain working at warp speed. The two of them. Drew and Kristien. Kristien was willing to share Drew with her. Kristien wanted to watch her make love with Drew. What about her? Would she be happy watching Kristien and Drew making love? She remembered the time she’d seen them kiss. Hell yes! That was scorching hot. How much hotter would it be to see them naked?
The two men laid their board shorts on the sand and then each rolled a condom over their cock. Next, Kristien took a tiny tube of lube and spread that over his condom. For a moment she wondered if he had a hairbrush or flashlight in his pocket as well and almost giggled before focusing on the two naked bodies in front of her.
Kristien’s body was long and lean, with soft brown hair across his chest and in a trail down to a very impressive cock.
Drew was darker, his hair color between Kristien’s and hers, his body stockier, stronger-looking, and with muscles in all the places a woman liked to see them. His cock looked very ready for action. And suddenly AJ was too, cream dripping from her core onto her bikini bottoms as she understood that finally, finally, she was going to make love to her true soul mate—well, both of them. And wasn’t that a difficult idea to get her head around. Two men. She and Kristien sharing Drew. So did that make Kristien her soul mate too? Or were they just joint soul mates of Drew? AJ gave up on the thinking to concentrate on watching the men.
Very gently, Kristien turned her to face himself so Drew could undo her bikini top. As the scrap of fabric dropped to the ground, Drew lowered her onto the board shorts, slid on top of her, and put one arm under her head to cradle her neck.
Drew kissed her lips gently and said, “We’ve been waiting a long time for this. Once we three join together, your powers will get stronger, and we’ll both be needed to protect you. Emeralds are the protection stone. That’s why travelers used to always carry one. But they also enhance psychic powers. It’s going to be exciting to share in that development with you.”
As he spoke, Drew slid inside her, stretching her, filling her, completing her. It felt so very, very good, the culmination of something she’d wanted for so long. Yet she realized it wasn’t enough. Until Kristien entered Drew, the three of them wouldn’t be fully united, wouldn’t be truly one.
The idea that they were a triad was starting to make sense to her. She still didn’t want to think about her psychic abilities causing problems, but her grandmother had coped with it, so AJ assumed she’d be able to deal with it too.
