Sexy Today! A Snippet from the Psychological Romantic Suspense Alicia's Possession

Image
Gentle Readers, Welcome to this week's My Sexy Saturday ! This week’s theme:  Sexy Today .  So today, there really is no theme except sexy today. Authors are free to post whatever they want within the normal rules. Just make it sexy, sexy and more sexy... I have selected a little snippet from the psychological, romantic suspense Alicia's Possession . Alicia is the last person Detective Mason Crawley should pursue since she is at the heart of his investigation into a disappearance, which eventually turns into a hunt for a killer; but her palpable sadness and vulnerability awaken his Dominant nature and instinct to protect. Is he is falling in love with a woman who is dangerously delusional, a witness to a cleverly-concealed crime, or a murderer? “I’m going to kiss you again.” “No,” she whispered when his mouth hovered mere millimeters over hers. He dropped his hand from her arm to the small of her back and pulled her against him, and she gasped at the unmistak

One Sexy Boy ~ A Modern Mr Darcy for My Sexy Saturday

Image
Good morning, dear readers! Ready for a NEW My Sexy Saturday? This week’s theme is One Sexy Boy ! We all know it just takes one sexy boy to get us going. That boy will turn into the man of our dreams. They can start out on the wrong side of the tracks, the right side of the tracks, the rich side or even the poor side. They can be good or they can be bad, we will love them all the same. They give us hidden looks, a longing gaze, with love’s promise shining in their eyes and all the things that come with love. We love sexy and it’s always so fun to share. So this will sound apropos to nothing, but my laptop decided to stop working over a month ago.  I thought it was an issue with the operating system and tried to wait out my free upgrade to Windows 10. In the meantime, I ran several other checks on it, however, which eventually indicated a problem with the hardware. Well, it is a really old computer, missing the letter 'H' and medical tape holding the power cord in beca

Image
Good morning, dear readers! It's time for a NEW My Sexy Saturday ~ PLUS I have a special sale for this long Labor Day Weekend! This week’s theme is Talk Sexy to Me ! We know all about talking sexy to me. We know that lovers have a special language that only two of them share. The hidden looks, the longing gaze, the love shining in their eyes all accompanied by those sexy, sexy words. Sometimes, they are whispered, sometimes spoken aloud and occasionally shouted from rooftops.     The Widow is a noir romantic thriller, and in keeping with that genre, the hero and the heroine are flawed, complex characters. He is cynical and incapable of trusting anyone. She is disillusioned and self-destructive, to the point of considering sacrificing herself for an assignment they both know will degrade her. They have only one hope to cling to: Each other. If you read last week's excerpt for Sexy has It , it has the love and the power to melt the world away. Now the rules of My

A Very Sexy Time from THE WIDOW for My Sexy Saturday

Image
Greetings, and welcome to a NEW My Sexy Saturday! This week’s theme is A Very Sexy Time ! Releasing this Wednesday, August 5th , The Widow is a noir romantic thriller with Catherine as the troubled, disillusioned, self-destructive heroine and David, the hero, an undercover DEA agent, who cannot bring himself to trust her nor ignore his obsession with her, which haunts his dreams. Here is a short excerpt, about why David might be willing to risk a multi-million dollar DEA operation, or even his life, for her.... The moment the door to the suite closed behind them, David jerked Catherine back against his chest and into his arms, assaulting her mouth, pouring all his pent-up aggression into the kiss. They had never “made up” after their argument, and he wasn’t about to let her raise that icy barrier between them again. But instead of resisting, she flung her arms around his neck, matching his fervor, a conflagration of passion. He untied the knot at the back of her

Our Sexy Woman! Excerpt from THE WIDOW Romantic Noir Suspense for My Sexy Saturday

Image
Greetings, and welcome to a NEW My Sexy Saturday! This week’s theme is Our Sexy Woman! " This week’s theme is My Sexy Woman. Yes, this is our nod to the heroines. You all know what make them sexy and wonderful. Need we say more!" Wow - Could the timing for this week's theme be any more perfect, with The Widow available for Pre-Order this week! It's almost as coincidental as last week's escape of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who was the inspiration for the drug lord Ignacio "El Ratón" Martinez in The Widow . The Widow is a noir thriller, and in classic noir style, Catherine is troubled, disillusioned, self-destructive. Here is a short excerpt - just six sentences - about our heroine Catherine and why David might be willing to risk a multi-million dollar DEA operation, or even his life, for her.... David knew he was staring, but he couldn’t tear his gaze away, desperate for something else to say, some other excuse to keep him there

100th My Sexy Saturday Celebration! We're Sexy HOT! Scene from The Proud and the Prejudiced

Image
Can you believe it is already the 100th My Sexy Saturday ?  I wish I could say I have participated from the beginning and had posted 100 Saturday snippets, but that whole life/career/dreams balance thing always gets in the way. Before I get on with this week's snippet, I want to be sure that you caught the Cover Reveal yesterday for my upcoming the romantic noir thriller The Widow ! It will be released on August 5th , but it will be available for pre-sale on July 22nd. This is the beautiful creation of the talented Dawné Dominique of Dusk til Dawn Designs , so if you missed it, please check it out here . Now on to this week's excerpt.  I decided to take the theme literally . In my modern take on Pride and Prejudice, New Orleans is the equivalent as Kent. (Well, if Hollywood is Hertfordshire, why not?) Throughout the time that Alice and Peter (my 21st Century Elizabeth and Darcy -- don't ask...) are there, Alice is hot and miserable and constantly complainin

Our Sexy Man: Mr Darcy - Vampire! Excerpt from PULSE AND PREJUDICE for #MySexySaturday

Image
Greetings, and welcome to another My Sexy Saturday! We are working our way up to the 100th Sexy Saturday , and it's going to be huge! This week’s theme is Our Sexy Man! "This is all about the sexy men in our books. The young ones, the old ones, the middle aged ones, the ones who turn us on like no other. It’s all about the sexy, hot romance they bring to the pages of the books we read and the books we write. "Again, this theme has no genre, no rules except that the characters we’re talking about are male and sexy beyond all belief." Now as far as I'm concerned, the only thing sexier than Mr. Darcy is a VAMPIRE Mr. Darcy! But as I discussed in my post Devil in the Details , Miss Austen provided little by way of physical descriptions of the characters in Pride and Prejudice . "Her physical descriptions of characters were as explicit as Jane – beautiful, Bingley – good-looking, Darcy – tall and handsome, Charlotte – plain, Lydia – stout, Mrs. Gardi

Sexy Best - A Snippet from PULSE AND PREJUDICE: The Confession of Mr Darcy, Vampire

Image
Welcome to My Sexy Saturday! This week’s theme is Our Sexy Best! "This theme has no genre, no rules except that the characters know their other half is better than all the rest. They may have had lovers before but nothing compares to the lover they are with." Once again, I have had a difficult choice making a selection but this time for a different reason: ALL of my novels have that special moment! How could I choose from just one? I really love the moment in my upcoming romantic noir thriller The Widow , but I think I will draw out the anticipation on that! So I put it to a vote on the Austen Variations Facebook group to choose one of my Pride and Prejudice adaptations: Modern or Vampire. Pulse and Prejudice won by a nose (or a fang); and since this is supposed to be a "sexy" snippet, I have selected six lines from Volume IV: Beyond Pride and Prejudice , which begins immediately after the second proposal and is where I venture off on my own and have a l

A Good Ol Sexy Time: Excerpt from ALICIA'S POSSESSION for My Sexy Saturday

Image
Welcome to My Sexy Saturday! This week’s theme is  A Good Ol Sexy Time . "This week’s theme is A Good Ole Sexy Time and think about things like the Dukes of Hazzard or maybe Nashville or the Appalachian Mountains. This week is about…well…normal people. You know, the boys next door, the good ole boys, the boys of summer and everything in between. There is nothing more sexy than a man at the beach or getting done with his chores or doing his best at any task." OK, well, I don't really write about the "boys next door" - and certainly not "good ole boys"! In my upcoming romantic noir thriller The Widow , the hero is an undercover DEA agent. In The Proud and the Prejudiced , Peter Walsingham is a famous movie star. And in Pulse and Prejudice , the vampire Darcy is, well, Mr. Darcy! Alicia's Possession does have a police detective, which is about as close as I could get to a "normal" person doing his job.  Enjoy~ Mason grip

Sexy Delight! Excerpt from PULSE AND PREJUDICE: The Confession of Mr Darcy, Vampire for My Sexy Saturday

Image
Welcome back to My Sexy Saturday ! " This week’s theme is Sexy Delight." Gentle readers, I have had difficulty trying to come up with an idea for this week's theme. (If you read the full description here , I think you'll understand!) There was one part of it that did strike me in particular: "Still, we want to remind you to think about lovers committing to each other, no matter where they are. The stakes can be high or there can be no stakes." Well, I can't hear the word "stakes" without thinking of vampires! (As in a stake through the heart!) Thus, I have selected an excerpt from Pulse and Prejudice: The Confession of Mr. Darcy, Vampire , where the vampire Darcy realizes he cannot live...or un live...without Elizabeth Bennet following his discovery of her in the hedge maze. (Yes, I installed a hedge maze on the grounds of Pemberley, and all with my little pen!) W i sd om and blood combating in s o ten d e r a b o

My Sexy Love - Songs in Love Stories - Where I Cheat with My Sexy Saturday

Image
Welcome back to My Sexy Saturday ! This week's theme is "My Sexy Love": " There is something special in writing about love and how two people can find how important it is. It’s special to us as writers if we find a song or a series of songs that epitomize that love story. "We can think of hundreds of love stories that have been inspired by music. The characters they produce are the type that live forever."  Those of you who have read my Pride and Prejudice adaptations know how much music music affects me and becomes an integral part of my plots. (The same is true in my upcoming romantic suspense The Widow .) Thus, I felt I has no choice to cheat just a little and provide short excerpt from both my modern adaptation as well as the story of Mr. Darcy, vampire. So, my dear readers, you may elect to read from the adaptation of your choice, or both if it is your desire... UPDATE:  I am giving away THREE eBooks of each of these novels!  Just leave
