Book Blurb:
Althea Grant’s Charleston gallery might be suffering from the bad economy, and her artistic aspirations have gone nowhere, but she’s doing just fine, thank you. When bad-boy sculptor Steel rides up on his motorcycle looking to rent studio space, his infusion of cash is more than welcome. But his art is raw, visceral, sexual—and completely inappropriate for her pastel world of watercolor landscapes.
Steel, fascinated by Althea’s rare albino coloring, sees in her the key to his next piece: a metal satyr designed for bondage games. Moving into her gallery basement is the first step; seducing the cool Southern belle into modeling for him is the second.
As Steel peels away her careful …

Book Blurb:
He was the one man I couldn’t avoid. And the one man I couldn’t resist.
Damien Stark could have his way with any woman. He was sexy, confident, and commanding: Anything he wanted, he got. And what he wanted was me.
Our attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as I ached to be his, I feared the pressures of his demands. Submitting to Damien meant I had to bare the darkest truth about my past-and risk breaking us apart.
But Damien was haunted, too. And as our passion came to obsess us both, his …

Guestpost: Disaster Romance? by Jill Sorenson + Giveaway
We are very happy to welcome Jill Sorenson here as first guest author in 2013. Her newest novel, Aftershock released last week and today she is here to tell us about her fascination with disaster romance. Be sure to tell her what you think for your chance to win your own copy. Please give Jill a warm welcome.
Hello Book Lovers Inc!
Some readers have said that my latest release, Aftershock, is like a disaster movie. It’s no accident; I’m a huge movie fan. I took several film studies and screenwriting classes in college. Many of my books are inspired by films.
Aftershock has been compared to Daylight, a disaster movie with Sylvester Stallone. I can’t remember if I’ve seen it, but I really enjoyed Cliffhanger, also starring Stallone.
