Hey, hey, hey! Let's play! I'm over at Bitten By Books tomorrow, and wow, I can't believe it, but book 4 in my Love's Command Series, Trusting Love, is finally coming out next week -- everywhere. It's over at Totally Bound until then, exclusively for an early download price, but next week....hooray! Everywhere else. 
To celebrate, I'm giving away $75.00 Give Card to Amazon! Hooray for that too! Love Amazon. Such great deals and did you know there's an Amazon China? Great news for me. So....if you hop over to Bitten By Books today, you can sign up and earn 25 extra points! Here's the link: http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=77627

And if you're new to my books, Trusting Love is part of my contemporary Navy SEAL bad boys erotic series that has a ton of action in and out of the sheets.... :)  
Here's a sneak peek at some of the action between Tazz and Kristen: 
“Kristen?” She’d been about to stand up and at his rough whisper, she sat back with a soft ‘oh’ passing her lips and frowned at him. “You know me?” It was too late to take back the name, too late to lie, and he was too damn tired to care. He was shot, sick of hiding and holding back everything for the mission that never seemed to end. There would always be another mission, but there might not be another chance like this. He tried to think of all the reasons not to tell Kristen who he was, but the overwhelming desire to have someone—especially this woman—see him and know who he had been, and wanted to be again, burst through every defence he’d set up to keep his desires down and under control. “It’s Robert, Robert McNeil—““Robert McNeil?” she repeated, saying his name with a Latin flare he remembered. “Robbie?” she murmured, shocking him with a nickname he’d not heard in years. His sister used to follow him around calling out for him using that name. Hearing it from this woman sent a slice of something right to his throat. “How can that be? He’s dead… I mean, you’re supposed to be dead. I know, I mean, I heard—” She frowned harder, looking so adorably caught between surprise and outrage that he might be lying to her, she made him grin. An unfamiliar feeling of warmth settled over him, relaxing the tension in his muscles and easing something deep within his chest.“I don’t understand,” she went on, clearly thrown. She even reached out and to his shock, touched his eyebrow over his left eye where the bones there had had to be reconstructed leaving behind a slight scar through his eyebrow. Her fingers were so gentle he barely felt them, but he didn’t dare breathe for fear of stopping her. She’d always, always stayed back from him, her loyalty to Daniel complete—until she’d divorced the stupid bastard. By then Robert had been unable to get close enough to her to do more than watch her from a distance. “You look different,” she finally said and dropped her hand to her side. “Yeah, a couple of surgeries saved my life, but they also ruined my good looks,” he joked, for some damn reason. “Oh.” She sat back and stared at him as if she could see beyond the damage he’d lived through to the man he used to be. He wondered what she saw. His jaw had needed wiring and realigning. The new line of it always caught him off guard when he looked at himself in the mirror. That, and the damage to his nose and left eye, which now was more gray than blue, made him appear like a different man. He’d felt like one too. The drugs, the changes forced on him by the serum and the new looks had made dying a piece of cake since he didn’t feel like Robert McNeil when he’d gotten up from his hospital bed. Staring at Kristen he realized he felt like himself again. Like he could actually be that man he’d been, before life went to hell. Does she recognize me under all the changes?Whatever she thought, she took her time thinking it. He almost squirmed under her dark-eyed stare and caught himself wanting to say something, anything to fill the silence. The only thing that stopped him was what to say. He had too many regrets to even know where to begin. She exhaled heavily and still looking at him oddly, she finally shook her head in disbelief, saving him from having to start his apologies. He’d have to make amends, though, sooner or later, he’d have to tell her how much he’d let her down. When he did, she might never gaze at him with that banked interest he’d recognized in her eyes all those years ago. Or the simmering passion he knew lurked beneath her surface. “I can’t believe it’s you. First of all I heard—everyone heard you had been…““Killed,” he supplied when she couldn’t seem to. “Didn’t happen. They just made a newer model of me, don’t you think?” She huffed at that and brushed a long tendril of silky hair off her cheek and behind her ear. “Well, the Robert I knew never fished for compliments, either.” 

Hugs!

So, here we go! The fourth book -- Trusting Love is LIVE now over at Total Bound for an exclusive pre-release download!


Robert McNeil survived in a world filled with death and very little more until…Kristen Sawyer wanted nothing more than to forget everyone and everything after the death of her daughter. The last thing she ever expected was to find the one man she’d never been able to have or forget—falling at her feet.When Robert woke up and discovered that he’d passed out from his wounds at Kristen Sawyer’s home, he knew he’d found the way to hold on—and to begin again. Now, all he had to do was eliminate the men trying to keep them apart, destroy the toxic drug in his system, and somehow make her want to trust in love.

Hello Everyone! 
For the next few weeks I will be running contests at Night Owl Reviews. First up is my newest release, Catch Me If You Can. This is the third book in my Love's Command Series I have out with Totally Bound. If you're interested in entering my contest, go here. If you'd like to pre-order a copy at an exclusive discount go here. 
And not to leave you with just that, here is an exclusive snippet for you all to get a taste of the sexy Navy SEAL, Daren Scott: 
Daren's target stopped at the busy intersection and waited for the cars rushing along the street, giving him time to drink in the sight of her. He’d remembered her face, or so he’d thought until now. Now he realized he’d not gotten the beauty of her lips right, or the angle of her cheekbones when she tilted her head while she waited, or the way her eyes seemed to see everything. Her ears were small, so damn cute he noticed when she turned slightly to the left, an urge to stand behind her and bend so he could run his lips along the curve of her neck filled his head. “Fuck!” he shouted, and was nearly out of the vehicle before he’d even registered the bearded Arab holding a gun to the base of her skull. In the distance, he heard Tazz on his left, but all he could focus on was the complete lack of fear on Kylie’s face. She looked like she almost welcomed the death waiting for her. He saw her eyes widen a second when he yelled her name, then she ducked, jabbed the guy with an elbow, twisted around and Dare stumbled into him. He dropped the guy to the sidewalk without meaning to, simply because she’d thrown him right at his feet. “Shit, don’t move, don’t move!” he shouted, but she backed away with too-wide eyes, then pushed a woman at him and raced down the crowded street just as fast as she had at the airport. This time though, he wasn’t suffering from whothehellitis. He knew this woman. No way was he losing her—again. He kicked into action, years of running for his life and after men much bigger and faster than Kylie Chung, punching him into a fast dash. After six years, baby, if you think you can dodge me again, you’re going to be wrong.He heard Tazz shout his name and turned to yell, “Get the guy, I’m on her.” He turned back in time to see her make the corner and was out of sight. He spotted her a second after he pushed his way through the crowded street market. She was fast, and more, she seemed to know how to weave in and out of the people spread out in the streets without getting caught up by them or the fruit and vegetable dealers laying their produce out everywhere. A block later he spotted her taking a left. He dodged down a side street filled with hanging laundry, but fewer people and raced to the end, took a right and barreled right into her. He grabbed her upper arms to keep her with him. Their eyes met. Hers were light, a hazel color with striations of darker brown that captivated him. Her cap had flown off and all her black hair had tumbled down around her shoulders. He tried to think of what to say, but the only thing that came out was: “You left me.” She blinked and tried to jerk out of his grip. He tightened his handsnd made sure she stayed put. She let out an angry spate of Korean, or maybe Chinese, but he refused to let her go. Finally she blew her hair off her face with an angry puff and stopped trying to break his hold. He guessed she could have dislodged him with one of her quick moves if she wanted to badly enough, but for some reason she hadn’t. “Look, I’m going to chase you if you do get away, so why not settle down, talk to me, and we can stop the running for a while, okay?” His honesty seemed to make  her frown.  “Why are you chasing me?” Just when he would have smiled at her exasperated demand, gunshots split the air. Pieces of the concrete wall behind her blew outward, spraying them both with debris. He tackled her down into a hunch under his arm and forced her behind the cars lining the street. Two more shots split the air. From the angle the bullets hit, Dare realized they weren’t necessarily aiming for them. He shoved her up against a red BMW and chanced a look. Two men were stationed behind an overturned cart aiming for another vehicle where Tazz crouched half hidden behind the hood of the car. Tazz caught his eye and gave him the ‘ok’ signal then shoved his hand down and out, indicating he should move out. More shots were fired at Tazz. He hunched down, then returned fire, hitting one man and possibly the other. People shouted and screamed, and Kylie tried to pull from Dare’s grip again. He hauled her close to his body and plowed his way through the throng like he was back on the football field, and ducked them both down behind a mid-sized van. “You want to tell me who is shooting at you?”he asked. Silence and a pissed off glare met his demand, then she dropped down that silent-I-don’t-care-what-happens mask he’d seen earlier, shutting him out, and he wasn’t allowing that. “You don’t care if you live or die? Is that it?”he demanded. “I do. I’m not letting you get your head blown off because you’ve made some mistakes. Now, who is trying to kill you?” he demanded again, shaking her shoulders for emphasis.After several seconds of sizing him up——she shrugged and looked away, dismissing him for the second time in one day. Shit didn’t happen to him. People, especially smaller, fragile looking women, answered his questions without him even having to touch them.Just when he reached his limit, she sighed heavily and murmured. “He wasn’t trying to kill me. He wanted something from me. And it looks to me like they are shooting at you guys.”Kylie Chung was a beautiful woman, more captivating up close than she was from yards away. He still wasn’t letting her pass on that one. She’d had a gun to her head, for God’s sake. “Maybe, but I wasn’t the one with a gun pointed at my skull, executioner style. Now, here’s what we’re going to do,” he said and pulled her attention back to his face with his forefinger under her chin. For some damn reason, it mattered to him that she saw him, remembered him. In the desert, he’d been busted up, his face swollen and cut up with shrapnel but he’d counted on her recognizing him. “We’re going to circle around, and get in that vehicle --”“No.” She shrugged his hand off, pushed at him and tried to stand. He tugged her right back down to face him. He was bigger and he used it, ninja moves or not, she wasn’t getting away again.“What else are you going to do? Run?”He tightened his hands carefully on her tiny arms, and shook her gently. “That didn’t work so well, did it? You can’t run through the streets of Seoul and dodge these guys.” She huffed at him like he was being the stubborn one. “I can. I was before you came along. You stand out, you draw attention. I blend in. I can’t go with you.” She was angry pissed even, but at him? Or at something else? “I stand out everywhere, that’s life.”He shrugged and grinned but she looked even more pissed, if possible. “Do I have to remind you—”“You don’t have to remind me of anything,”she snapped.She scanned the area, the tall buildings looming up around them, then the rushing pedestrians, then him again. He’d bet his last dollar she had this area mapped out already and had just pinpointed ten different ways to lose him.“All right, I can see you’re serious about this. What else do you suggest we do?” he asked. She tightened her hands into fists until the knuckles turned white, clearly not willing to say. Instead she simply tried to ignore him. He could have told her that wouldn’t work. He was used to attention, and if he had to, he knew how to get it. He’d bet his last dollar she wasn’t a spy. And if she was? He’d handle that when and if it was true. He’d already come too far to stop now. “You’re stuck with me  so I suggest you go with it. It’s that, or I cuff you, tuck your pretty little butt over my shoulder, then we go to the location my man has secured for us.”

Happy Pre-order Friday! Yep, that means you can order your pre-release copy of Catch Me If You Can from Totally Bound for an exclusive discount. 
Catch Me If You Can is the fourth book in the Love's Command Series. 
Daren Scott refuses to let a woman touch his heart, but when he's faced with a woman he can't forget, can he trust that with her touch, he can finally hold on to love?The world Daren Scott lived in was full of danger and, all too often, death. There was no place in it for love, and surely not one single woman. Women were weak, delicate, too easily taken out by a stray bullet to trust them for the long haul—until one woman. Kylie might prove that all he really needed was her touch. When Kylie met Daren Scott, a new world of possibilities unfolded. He baffled her. He excited her. He drove her nuts. But most of all, he confused her. Was he more than the bad boy Navy SEAL bent on seducing her into his bed? Could he truly be the warm, tender man who stole her breath with a look and made her dreams possible?
