The second edition of Hotshot Mogul will be live Sept. 9. You can preorder it now: https://www.amazon.com/Hotshot-Mogul-Tara-Eldana-ebook/dp/B0FNZSQ4MJ

Here’s the blurb: I must stop hotshot developer Bryce Covington from cutting down the trees, especially the oak tree, in the glade he owns near Lake Michigan. The oak tree has grown there and been my home for over 300 years. I only have five days as a human in a woman’s body before I must resume my existence as a tree spirit in the oak tree or be stuck in this human body.

It gets worse. Bryce and I walked the earth together in this glade when it was New France some 400 years ago. It ended horrifically with his slaughter before my eyes. My paralyzing grief over his death and losing his baby propelled me to my life as a joyous tree spirit.

I want him and he wants me. But, I must fight our consuming passion and stay focused on stopping him. He would never believe me if I told him about our pasts that he has no memory of…and what I truly am, would he?

My body comes alive at his touch. He is determined that I stay and determined he will cut down the trees. And I must stop him. I will stop him any way I can.

I have one more in-person event this year at the Troy Public Library. It’s so much fun to talk with readers and authors. If you are in southeast Michigan, stop by and say hi!

The pic on the very bottom of this post is me with my first two published romance novellas at my first book signing. I was so nervous that nobody would come to the indie bookstore, Paperback Outlet, which was then in Warren, Michigan. I discovered Paperback Outlet when I was a newspaper reporter covering a book signing at the indie bookstore, which was near our newspaper office.

Owners Annie and Gaye graciously hosted newbie me as the only author signing. They had, in the past, hosted big name authors like Suzanne Brockmann and Nora Roberts. Annie gave me the best advice — to write longer stories. My first eight books were novellas. I gave it a try. The next five were between 40,000 and 60,000 words. I will be forever grateful to them for giving me a start. Talented photographer Julie Snyder, a colleague at the newspaper, took my picture.

Julie also did the cover of my first novella, Under the Riptides, a paranormal merman romance novella in my five-book series. Julie was the model for the cover, too! I bought her photograph and the publishing house I was with approved it for the cover. Since I bought the photo, I can use it again when I release it again. I have obtained the rights back to my first eight books and can’t wait to put them out there again! Stay tuned.

The first pic at the bottom of this post is my current stock at the last book signing I did in September. I have published 14 books to date. The middle pic is the fun graphic for the book signing coming up.

In other news, thanks to all who purchased Reaching for Forever when it was on sale for .99 Oct. 14! I was a number one bestseller on Amazon. Yay!!

My latest release, Into Thin Air, a short and spicy romance novella, has some of my favorite tropes – surprise baby, mistaken identity, workplace romance, and instalove. It’s included in the Fussy Librarian stack of free books on November 1.  Here is the link:

A bit about it: Drew is a player and leaves behind a string of women in the Rocky Mountains each summer. He was supposed to be my one and done vacation fling, not my oops baby daddy and principal of the high school where I teach kids Shakespeare. I ran away rather than believe he fell in love with me at first sight. Can I give him my trust and my heart, or is our relationship destined to end as star-crossed as Romeo and Juliet? I hope you like it!

It’s free until Nov. 2! Buy now!

5-star Amazon review – This was an amazing book. I loved all the characters.

Here is an excerpt from when they first meet, (or so he thinks….)

“I walked toward my battered Jeep and peeled off my shirt, hoping I had another T-shirt inside. I loved driving this Jeep, although I couldn’t use it to haul around clients I wanted to schmooze. I planned to take it onto the Silver Lake Sand Dunes and blow off some steam, off-roading it, maybe tomorrow. I opened the back of the Jeep. No shirt. I knew there were some golf shirts left over from last year’s golf outing in the administrative offices that my staff used for new leases and sales.
I drove the power mower into the storage shed and headed for the office. It was at the far end of the development, next to the apartments. A woman holding a clipboard was banging on the door to the locked and shuttered office.
She wore a soft sundress that reached down to her ankles, from which I couldn’t pull my gaze away. They were delicate, slender and graceful. My gaze traveled up to the curve of her hips, tapered waist, and swell of her breasts. My c**k twitched. Her breasts were smaller, compared to the kind of woman I was usually drawn to, since Diana.I’d bet they’d fit into my hands like she was made for me.I needed to rein it in. Damn, I still had to text Beth back. She’d texted me twice.
“Can I help you?” I asked, all polite. My gaze skimmed over her bare, toned shoulders.
Her honey-blonde hair hung in waves just past them. Then I looked at her face. Sucker punch. I thought violet eyes weren’t real. Did she use contact lenses? Her thick, dark lashes framed her almond-shaped eyes. Her lips were soft, lush and pink. What would they taste like?
I had never had such a visceral reaction to a woman at first sight, even Diana. Violet-eyes stared at my bare chest. Then her gaze dropped lower, hardening my c**k to the point of pain. She finally met my gaze. “I thought we must wear clothes,” she said.Excerpt From

Bruce — They call me hotshot. It ticks me off, but part of me is proud of that. I worked my ass off to develop spaces people love. I don’t stop until I get what I want. I develop land all over the U.S.

And I want her — Anneliese with her odd turns of phrase, sketchy past and violet eyes I could get lost in for the rest of forever. But she’s working against me, trying to save dying trees on property I own. The trees got to go.

Anneliese — I want him and he wants me. But, I must fight our consuming passion and stay focused on stopping him. He would never believe me if I told him about our pasts that he has no memory of…and what I truly am, would he?

My body comes alive at his touch. He is determined that I stay and determined he will cut down the trees. And I must stop him. I will stop him any way I can.

Hotshot Mogul was inspired by Playboy Pilot and will be released soon in the Cocky Hero Club series. Sign up for my newsletter on the side tab for updates.

Rick dumped her in high school and stood her up just before he left for college. Mackenzie hasn’t seen or heard from him for five years. When he crashes her girl weekend, she gives into their passion, willing to give him her body but not her heart. Rick let her go because of her sweetness and innocence. He couldn’t forget her, and followed her best friend’s Instagram posts to see her. Can Rick convince her she’s all he ever wanted, or will his betrayal in high school doom their love forever?

Making the Switch is Book 2 in the KinkLink series, and a standalone. Bookbub review – This is a great book. I loved all of the life this story has. I would recommend this book to anyone who is into a little bit of a wider view in relationships- review by V. Learn more: https://tinyurl.com/KinkLink4

5-star review –
Loved this book. Read it in one night because I couldn’t put it down – Stormy on Goodreads.

Two brothers awakened a desire she’d never known… But it’s only one who steals her heart. CAUTION: Alpha hero, bad-boy romance that’s utterly addictive and outrageously satisfying.

She realizes that it is time to choose between the brothers — because she knows now, she can’t have them both.

Now it’s up to Jessa to decide who she wants to be with — and neither of them plan on making her decision easy…

Does she choose to love one, or let them both go?
