How much do I love this cover? Isn’t she fabulous? I have to admit, I have cover love in a very serious way. And it’s available for just two days for 99c!

 

Here’s the blurb…

 

Scarlett Buck has always been flaky in comparison to her sensible twin sister Tara, so nobody is really surprised when Scarlett spends all her money on a one way ticket to Australia to be with the man she’s met on the Net. But she hasn’t reckoned on the guy already being married, or her mom getting sick, and now she needs money for a flight home to Marietta, MT—quick. Signing on with Bella’s Belles in Kalgoorlie isn’t be the proudest moment in her life but it will get her home fast. After all, it’s just sex.

Or is it?

Mitch Bannister’s ex is about to marry his best friend, and he could really do with a cold beer and a hot woman. But the cowgirl he takes a shine to at Bella’s is surprisingly skittish, and in the end he leaves without hooking up.

Later, when Mitch spies the cowgirl in the local pub begging for a job, he shrinks into the shadows–he’s not looking for complications, and something tells him that Scarlett Buck is a whole handful of them. But soon it’s clear she’s not just trouble, she’s in trouble, and like it or not, he’s not about to turn his back on this stray from the States. Especially if she can do him a favor in return. After all, it’s just a helping hand.

Or is it?

I absolutely adored writing this story – it was fun and sexy and the sparks really fly between Scarlett and Mitch – and there’s a lot of fun to be had along the way to their happily ever after. I hope you enjoy it too!!

And don’t forget – it’s just 99c for a day or two – so get in quickly! And while you’re checking out Amazon, make sure you look for Kelly Hunter’s What a Bride Wants – the first in the Montana Brides series and a fabulous read. Next up is Sarah Mayberry’s Almost a Bride, featuring Scarlett’s twin sister, Tara. Cannot wait for that one!

Cheers

Trishx

Zoom. How did that happen?

Well, I’ve largely written off 2013, what with one thing and another (not to mention the fact it’s no longer with us), so I thought I’d wander over and update my website only to discover that it no longer recognises me because I haven’t been around for ooh, ages. 

So I thought I’d wander over here to blogsville, where the last time I attempted to post, just kept that little spinning coloured circle well, spinning. There’s a chance this might even work! 

So this is the year for getting on top of life, the universe and technology (and a bit of writing along the way) so watch out WWW, an update of exciting plans for 2014 is coming soon. Really soon. Soonish. It’s coming. 

(Just don’t hold your breath…)

Meanwhile happy 2014! There’s almost 11/12′s of it to go, so enjoy

For some reason, I’m having all kinds of problemuploading photos from my iPad, so if you would like tokeep up with mt travels, please check out my Facebook page, where you can see exactly what, and where, I am up too!

 

Chheers, and happy reading!

Here’s wishing all my readers are recovering from a warm and wonderful festive season, and enjoying a fabulous start to 2013.

I’m sorry to say my website is still bogged down in password issues and still my website says welcome to 2012 ( I should never have switched computers, I swear!) so it’s a wee (!) bit behind. Rest assured a new website is coming in 2013, but if you do want to catch up with the very latest Trish Morey news, make sure you friend me and check in to my Facebook page – I am much better at keeping up with what’s happening in Trishworld there!

A huge thank you to all my fabulous readers who have sent me emails about the first two stories in the Desert Brothers series, Duty and the Beast and The Sheikh’s Last Gamble. I’ve had more emails about these  two books than any others, and  most of them asking when they might be able to get their hands on the final two books in the Desert Brother’s series. I am delighted to say that Kadar and Rashid’s stories are happening this year and will be late 2013/early 2014 releases, all going well.

Meanwhile I have three new releases in the first six months of the new year, so lots to go on with! First up in January is Secrets of Castillo del Arco. This is a  book that’s already been released in the UK and Australia/New Zealand, but it’s new to North American shores, and I am delighted it’s getting a run around the block there. Here’s the blurb…

Reclusive billionaire Raoul del Arco’s deathbed promise to a friend haunts him. He swore to marry Gabriella D’Arenberg…but knows that taking her as his wife will only destroy her innocence.

Gaby has no idea that Raoul has sworn such an oath. And when he storms back into her life, he has a dark, dangerous edge she finds disturbingly alluring.

Now, trapped in Raoul’s gothic castillo, Gaby is paying the price of his promise. The key to her lavish prison? Succumbing to her new husband’s touch….

 

Secrets is followed closely by Bartering Her Innocence – which is out everywhere next month! February is the first month that Presents are going to simultaneous release in North America, the UK and Australia/New Zealand and it’s awesome! No more will readers have to wait for their favourite reads, already released half a world away. I’m so glad that’s happening.

“I simply require you to share my bed.”

Luca Barbarigo has lain in wait for three long years, and is now ready to exact his revenge against Valentina Henderson. After one unforgettable night together, she left him with nothing but X-rated memories and the sting of her hand across his jaw. But they are the least of her crimes.…

Valentina swore she’d never see him again, but you don’t turn your back on Luca Barbarigo. Now she must confront the man who devastated her with only her innocence of his claims to barter… What will it cost her to walk away this time?

Phew, and that’s January and February. May sees the release of A Price Worth Paying?, a book set in the wonderful, gorgeous surrounds of San Sebastian in Spain, but May is far enough away to think I might even manage a post between now and then. Then again. No, I will be good. I am a week away from a month’s travel in the middle east, and I will need to report in with pictures. That’s the plan!

Meanwhile love to all of you in 2013. May it be filled with good health, good humour and great times, hopefully spent with the people you love.

Talk soon (I promise!)

Has played the Lucky 7 game. You can read her fabulous excerpt here at Michelle’s blog spot…

 

Thanks Michelle, your next book sounds fabulous!

Meanwhile I’m still stuck in the current work in progress in Venice. Not a bad place to be stuck, admittedly. Here’s a pic of a lovely winding bendy canal with a view.

 

Right now this is a bit how I feel with the manuscript – there’s a happy ending there somewhere, just around the bend, but the bend seems to be going forever and the ending is out of view, but the promise is there. Right now, that’s what I have to go on. It’s not a bad view if you have to have faith in the unseen:-))

The wonderful Anne McAllister tagged me in a meme (I had to go look that up on Wikipedia. (I’d always thought “me me” was what babies said when they wanted something – little did I know!) and this one is all about lucky sevens.

The object of the game is to go to Page 77 of the latest book or work in progress or whatever, and go to line 7 and then quote the next 7 lines. Then I’m supposed to tag another 7 writers to do the same. (Won’t they be delighted to hear from me:-))

Anyway, it looked like more fun than actually tackling the manuscript so I thought I’d play – and I picked up The Storm Within, because it’s kind of topical right now and found myself on Page 77 of the UK version, in A Royal Wedding anthology (the US version appears below – but it’s the same novella).

And here goes my seven lines (have counted from line 6 as it’s the start of a new paragraph and I do want this to make some sense:-)) 

A flash of lightning rent the skies and shook the very foundations. A boom of thunder followed hot on its heels, along with a burst of rain splattering against the windows.

“Is it always stormy at night here?” she asked him, when the rolling boom had finally died away, breathless with the shock of the onslaught.

“Not always.” He was leaning back in his chair, his jaw set, his eyes as hard as the rock this castle was constructed with. He picked up his spoon. “Sometimes it’s stormy during the day too.”
