New Book Cover for Three of a Perfect Pair

OK, here's the big reveal for Book #2 in my Hell's Delight series, Three of a Perfect Pair. 

They’re at it again in the hamlet of Hell’s Delight.  Katrina Abramson, recovering from a nasty breakup, is hosed by firefighter Alex Coldiron during the annual Fourth of July water fight between rival fire companies.  She is sprayed right into cattleman Shane Jonas, on the run from his past.  He has returned to confront his future.

Town reporter Alex knows Shane wants to mend fences with brother Devin and plans to write a heartwarming article.  Instead he’s thrust into a passionate triangle with the amorous couple, and Alex must face the truth about his sexuality.  Katrina is swept into a thrilling power exchange with the two men where no one is ever sure who has the upper hand.

An exotic, shady character from Shane’s former life is lurking in the shadows, spying on their play sessions, and Shane's dangerous past is about to come full circle.

The title popped into my head one day, then I realized it was a King Crimson album.  When I looked up the lyrics, thinking perhaps they had some subconscious meaning, they weren't too romantic, or I would've included them in the dedication.

She is susceptible
He is impossible
They have their cross to share
Three of a perfect pair...

 

 

Yeah, thanks Adrian Belew, but I'll leave that part out for now. :)  Anyway, I based the heroine on the actress Kristen Johnston, currently starring in The Exes, formerly of Third Rock from the Sun.  She was Lacey's BFF in Book #1, and I had just read her autobiography.

 

 

The primary alpha hero was Grant Bowler, currently on that really good post-apocalyptic show Defiance.  In my book he plays Shane Jonas, one of the Jonas brothers (yeah, I didn't realize that blunder until I'd already named them) who returns from years in China dealing with the mafia there.  He wants to start anew, but old coworkers come back to haunt him.  You can take the boy out of the pine nut forest, but...

 

And once again, Ryan Gosling gets his own starring role as the secondary hero Alex Coldiron, the volunteer fireman/town journalist of Hell's Delight.

 

 

It releases July 22 so stand by for more.

 

 

 



The Grass is Greener has a new cover

The Grass is Greener will be book #3 in the McQueen Was My Valley series set in Utah.

 

Prim and proper doctor Sasha McQueen meets the dashing commando Rowan O’Shea at the scene of a terrorist bombing.  Her best friend’s last words, “Tony Danza,” mystify them.  When the bomber turns to stalking Sasha, he mingles with the fursuited fans at the Triple Play Lodge’s Great Utah Furfest, and he could be anyone in a cartoon disguise.

Sasha’s heart is hardened as she recovers from a lousy marriage.  She knows the grass isn’t greener on the other side of the fence.  But when she spies on Rowan getting frisky with the sweet boy-next-door game warden, Perry Donovan, her determination to avoid men goes out the window.  Their bondage forced orgasm games open up a wanton, wild side of Sasha she never knew existed.

Assisted by undercover Furries, the trio stalks the bomber instead of waiting to be preyed upon.  Together they discover love, security, and the answer to “what does Tony Danza have to do with anything?”

I based Perry Donovan on Ryan Gosling, and you can see that Les Byerly did a good job of matching Perry to Ryan.  In Books #1 and #2 I built up to and foreshadowed the arrival of this Furry Convention.  My editor said in Woman on Top, "why do you keep mentioning these furries?  Are you repeating yourself?" I said "They'll wind up being important in Book #3."  As you can probably tell, this book is fairly light-hearted and even silly in some spots.  I'll post the excerpts in the Excerpt section right now.  But you have to read it to find out the answer to what Tony Danza was doing on some pathetic, shoddy comedy tour of the Midwest.
