Un-Edited Excerpt:

A hand reached over and covered her’s. Looking up she met Sanjay’s grey gaze. Looking in his eyes she turned her hand and held his. Linking her fingers with his she rose pushed him back gently with the other hand. Following him she straddled him then reached and linked her fingers with his other hand. He watched her silent. Leaning into him she kissed him. Gently and thoroughly. He murmured then groaned trying to pull away. She held him firmly getting her fill. Raising her lips slowly off of his she watched his eye spark amber lazily.

“Be sure of what you’re doing Tashana.” Sanjay warned.

“I’m sure. Fuck me Sanjay.”

His look was intense. “This goes beyond fucking Tashana. I’m going to make you burn so deep that when I’m not with you it will be like a physical pain. A pain to have me inside of you. Do you want this, Tashana?”

Tashana’s mouth was dry. “Yes.”

Sanjay pulled his hands free pushed his fingers in her hair, dragged her to him and sealed his lips to hers. Eyes locked with his she watched as his eyes sparked wildly. The hunger she felt for him was like nothing she had ever felt. Running her hands down his firm muscular side she used her power to get rid of his clothing and her own. When her hand touched his heated skin she moaned. He sucked it in and gave her his own groan of desire in return.

Un-Edited Excerpt:

Deciding not to dwell on it, Shay turned away from the window and toward the bathroom attached to her office. Inside the bathroom, she opened the closet and took out the turquoise dress she had originally worn to work. As Shay stripped she felt the dampness of her clothes. Quickly tossing them in the basket next to the sink Shay stepped into the shower.

Twenty minutes later she strode back into her office walking to her desk. Absently she glanced out the window then away. Jerking her attention back to the window she saw it was clear. Frowning she wondered how long after sex the EFF Syndrome would last and if she would be seeing Mikhail’s hungry eyes looking at her all day.

The ringing of her phone interrupted Shay’s thoughts. “Exotic.” Putting it out of her mind Shay got to work.

* * * * *

She tastes like ambrosia. Standing outside Shay’s office window Mikhail watched Shay working. When he had looked up and seen her through the window he had wondered what she was doing. There were people going up and down the sidewalk outside her window. No one even stopped or looked at her. With her little show he couldn’t resist coming closer to look.

Although weak the strength of the enchanted glass had pushed at his senses. Absently he wondered who would have thought to have it installed. It had to be someone who knew there were other things in this world besides the humans. Looking closer he realized that it had a council mark. That in itself was a rare thing. He couldn’t think of anyone on Earth Realm who had that kind of pull with the council. Feeling it he could tell it hadn’t been reinforced, as it should have been. He happened to glance up in time to see Shay pull up her skirt and start to touch herself.

Carnal Awakening releases on Friday from Ellora’s Cave .

This month’s uncovered we explore my upcoming release Carnal Awakening.

So let’s get uncovered….

Carnal Awakening, will be released on July 27, 2007 at Ellora’s Cave. In this uncovered we will be exploring my heroine Shay Coles. As I stated in the previous uncovered Shay – my heroine – came to me and demanded her story be told. She also let me know her story could not be told as one story but would be a series of stories. Imagine if you will a woman who knows what she wants but is unsure how to ask for it.

Shay Coles is all of these things and more. She has withstood a betrayal and is first unsure of her own sensuality as a woman. The complexities in Shay’s personality are what made her such a joy to write. She pushed all the emotions and demanded more.

Once Shay came to me she knew where her story would go and it flowed. She breathed life into the pages. She took Mikhail A’do Nis, a man bound by his duty and quest, by storm. Shay runs the spectrum of emotions from insecurity to confidence or attraction to passion and everything in between.

Shay is on a journey to sensual awakening. A discovery of not only pleasure but what is in her soul. In Carnal Awakening, Shay gets a few surprises thrown at her and more to come in the next books.

Take a journey with Shay as she is awakened.

I leave you with this. Describe the defining moment when you knew you had met your soul mate.

In this month’s uncovered we explore my upcoming release Carnal Awakening.So let’s get uncovered….

Carnal Awakening, will be released on July 27, 2007 at Ellora’s Cave. In this uncovered we will be talking about how the story Carnal Awakening came to be.This story came to me out of nowhere. I was actually working on another story when Shay – my heroine – came to me and demanded her story be told. She also let me know her story could not be told as one story but would be a series of stories. Imagine if you will a woman who knows what she wants but is unsure how to ask for it. I’ll be exploring Shay in another Uncovered later this month.Once Shay came to me I let my mind wander. I knew that this story would have to have a lot of twists and turns. I worked out the plot and my mind raced then it came to me. There would be a special gift that leads to the awakening of these characters. A gift that is rare and beautiful. A gift that is used with grand romantic gestures. It says so much and yet not enough. But imagine if it had the ability to have a more active role in getting a couple together. A gift that would travel through realms to get where it needed to be to bring them together. Once they were together it is up to the couple where things lead.

As I built the gift and the world Shay and Mikhail inhabit I pushed the boundaries. Their world is one of passion, intrigue, and most of all an adventurous nature. Each has their own things they must face. Shay has to overcome her reservation, while Mikhail must realize duty and desire are both possible.

Carnal Awakening leads you on a path of not only a sensual awakening but also into the discovery of what is inside. There are a few other surprises thrown in and more to follow in the next books.

Come along for the exploration of Shay and Mikhail as they are awakened.

I leave you with this question. What is a moment of awakening you experienced?

In a recent blog I did for the group blog I am a part of I explored one of the questions that I usually asked.How did you come up with that story idea?

With this being a question that was recently asked of me again I decided to take you under the covers for a look inside my novels. You’ll go behind the scenes, inside the mind of the characters, places and so on. So each Wednesday I will feature whatever is my book being released for that month. That will be four or five according to the calendar Wednesday’s of various Uncovered topics based on my novels. If I have no release for that month I will give you a random novel from my backlist or my WIP {work in progress}.

In my post at the group blog I answered the question above. I changed it a little from the original post.

So let’s get uncovered….

Seducing a God, is my first book with Ellora’s Cave and I’m taking you into how the story Seducing a God came to be as well as a little about the hero and herione.

I’ll be honest I hadn’t ever thought of doing a theme story before and never imagined to try for one at EC. After making a tough decision concerning with the path my writing career was taking I was surfing the various publishers for something spicy to read. While at EC I decided to check out the submissions. As I sat there reading the call for submissions and came across the Naughty Nuptials theme my mind started to race and heart started to pound. I went to bed and my mind still raced and I could not sleep. The story was unfolding so fast in my head and I know I had to write it down. So I got up and fleshed out the story for what ended up to be Seducing a God.

My hero Markus M’ar Riage, The God of Matrimony came to me first. He epitomizes everything that love, relationships and marriage is all about. He is strong, gentle, and all out sexy. I knew he needed a woman who although seemingly shy she would knock his socks off.

My heroine, Paula Stroker made her presence know from the beginning. Although she is slightly unsure around me she knows when she sees Markus she wants him. Also she has a unique profession. {You’ll have to read the book to find out}. Paula is a smart; take charge yet vulnerable and sensual woman.

These two characters compliment each other. Yet they face an obstacle Paula has an aversion to marriage and Markus being the God of Matrimony cannot help but believe in all it entails. They led you on a wild ride of sensual pleasure and discovery. Also there are a few other surprises thrown in.

So take a seductive journey with Paula and Markus and let yourself be seduced.

So I leave you with this question. What is the most seductive thing you have done or had done to you?
