UK Cover Reveal for the Not Until You Serial!

Cover reveals are always fun, and they're especially fun when they are the foreign versions because it's interesting to see how different cover designers will take the same book and package it differently.

So here are the UK versions of the NOT UNTIL YOU serials, which starts August 29th in the UK.  Aaaaand, it looks like they're offering the first part for free, so run over there and pre-order it. : )

And here are the covers...

 

So whaddya think? I think they're very sexy. 

CAUGHT UP IN YOU is here! Geek heroes for the win! :)

I'm so beyond excited that the release for CAUGHT UP IN YOU is here. I love this hero so much. He was such fun to write. And he's Jace's brother, so there's that. :)  Also, for those who have read CRASH INTO YOU, the heroine in CAUGHT is Brynn's sister from that first book. So expect to see cameos from other characters! :)

 

This is the book my editor declared her favorite thing I've ever written. I also think it's the sweetest story I've written so far (even though, don't worry, there is lots of smexiness in this one, too.) I think I just channeled a bit of my inner John Hughes for parts of this one. :)

 

I hope y'all enjoy it!

 

And if you do, I'd love for you to tweet/facebook about the book and spread the word. Or leave a review on one of the book sites like Amazon, B&N, Goodreads, etc. Those reviews are HUGE and help so much. And since I'm not doing a blog tour, they're even more vital. *hugs to all of you*

 

Here's the blurb: (And you can read Chapter 1 here.)
The girl who has spent her life running is about to be caught . . . by love
 
After a shaky past, Kelsey LeBreck's future is looking good. She's been saving money for culinary school with her earnings from The Ranch, a private BDSM resort. Even better, she's landed a day job where she can practice baking and flirt with her favorite customer. However, having secret fantasies about Wyatt Austin is where it has to end. If there's one thing Kelsey knows can derail her, it's a relationship. But when a danger from her past threatens to steal her fresh start, the intense executive may be the only one who can help her.

Wyatt doesn't have room on his agenda for dating, but something about the pretty young waitress stirs desires he thought were long buried. So when he needs someone to pose as his girlfriend at an important business retreat and finds out Kelsey needs to go off the grid for a while, he can't resist making her an offer. Soon, Kelsey learns that Wyatt's power in the boardroom is no match for his power in the bedroom, and she wonders if her heart will survive. Because Wyatt Austin is a man who gets what he wants, and now he wants her.

All 8 Parts Are Out! Cliffhanger-Phobics Rejoice :)

NOT UNTIL YOU LOVE is out today! I can't believe we've reached the end of the 8 weeks of the NOT UNTIL YOU serial already. This summer is flying by. For those of you who have been reading along, thank you and I hope you've enjoyed the journey. I've enjoyed sharing it with you each week.

And for those who are cliffhanger-phobic, which I totally understand and respect, now you can get all eight parts and read them back to back with no waiting! : )  

I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of the conclusion of Foster and Cela's story.

And if you have read it, I always appreciate any reviews you'd like to leave on the retail sites or Goodreads or any tweets and Facebook mentions. You'd be amazed at how much those things help a book. 

*hugs to all* And hope you're not sick of me yet because next week, Wyatt's story releases!!! I'm SO excited about CAUGHT UP IN YOU. Those characters are particularly near and dear to my heart so I can't wait to have y'all read their story. : )

Photos from RWA and a New Release!

Hi, everyone! Well, I'm back from my fourth RWA Nationals. It was a fantastic trip, and it was so much fun to meet so many people I only know through the Interwebs. First a quick reminder, NOT UNTIL YOU BELIEVE, Part 7 of my e-serial is out today. We're almost to the end! So for those of you waiting to get them when they're all out so you can read them back to back, next week is the week! :)

Here are some highlights from the trip...

On Wednesday, I had the pleasure of speaking on a panel with Darynda Jones, Eloisa James, Debra Holland, and Robin Convington at the Golden Network Retreat (a chapter of RWA for Golden Heart finalists). The lineup for teh retreat was fantastic. It kicked off with a great talk from Susan Elizabeth Phillips and then a lunchtime speech from, yes, the Nora Roberts. Here's Nora during her speech:

 

 

Then that evening was the HUGE booksigning for literacy. Thank you to all who stopped by and said hi to me or bought a book! :) The event raised over 50k for literacy charities, so it was a great success. Here was my view from my spot. (Isn't my RITA flag pretty? It's now sitting on my desk.)

 

 

On Friday, I did my BDSM 101 for Writers presentation with the lovely Tiffany Reisz (and her sock monkey). We had a full room and a great audience. It was a lot of fun even though we had too much info and ran out of time. Here's a picture courtesy of author Miranda Baker:

 

 

Then, of course, on Saturday night I was a nervous wreck because MELT INTO YOU was up for the RITA award in Single Title Contemporary Romance. For those who don't know, the RITAs are like the Oscars for romance writing, so it's a big, exciting thing to be nominated. 

Here I was before the ceremony when I still had hope, lol...

 

 

Alas, I didn't win, but I truly was just over the moon to be nominated. An erotic romance has NEVER been nominated in that cateogory so that was a huge deal for me. Here was my view from my spot in the audience. My one goal if I won was not to vomit standing up there on that stage in front of 2000 people. o.0

 

 

After that, it was time to fly back home with my big pile of new books:

 

 

And though I was sad to leave all my friends for another year, I did have a nice surprise waiting for me on my doorstep when I got home. Look at the pretties...

 

 

So now back to my normal life of no makeup, living barefoot, and typing away on my keyboard. : )

NOT UNTIL YOU SURRENDER is here!

 

I'm on my way to RWA Nationals today (yay!) where I'm up for a RITA award (double yay!) AND I finally finished my draft of Kade's story NEED YOU TONIGHT (*rolls around in confetti*). Let's just not talk about last week when I wrote 30k words. I think I'm still recovering my brain cells because most of them melted. But I didn't want to forget to remind you that Part 6 of my e-serial, NOT UNTIL YOU SURRENDER, is out today!!!

We're almost to the end of this journey (so those waiting to read them all at once only have two more weeks to wait, lol.) And I wanted to thank everyone who's posted reviews or spread the word so far. *hugs* I'd love to have more of that help this week since I won't be able to get near my computer very much. So if you feel so inclined, I'd love for you to tweet about the release or leave a review on Goodreads or the retails sites. Those things are huge helps.

And I hope you enjoy this segment! (Be prepared though, the black moment is nigh. *hands over wine and chocolate*)
