Captain Brody has been badly burned by his ex-wife. When he orders Ryan, his star fireman, to participate in a bachelor auction, little does he know he’s the one who will lose his heart.

Why I admire Stormy

Stormy Jones-Smythe is the heroine of my latest novel, Wishful Thinking. She came to me as a complete character, but she wasn’t easy to write because so many of her personality traits are not mine. She embodies many of the qualities I hope I possess or will someday. So while she was difficult to write, I also learned a lot from her.

Stormy has a lust for life that I want. She follows …

Hope dangles by a silken thread.

When the head of the Araneidae clan is found poisoned in her nest, her eldest daughter, Lourdes, becomes their clan’s new maven.

Such a male is Rhys the Cold.

The High School Reunion Winner Post

Hey Everyone!

Yesterday I had my 10 year high school reunion. Yep 10 years! And no, it does not make me old! (insert ferocious kitten look) So anyway I was excited to meet my high school classmates and see what everyone has become, the last time we met everyone was still at college/university so now I was curious to see if people changed schools/careers and what they ended up doing. And you know what was the weirdest part? My two closest best girl friends and my best guy friend are my high school friends and I usually see them/talk to them at least once a week if not more, but there were some high school friends/classmates I haven’t seen for more than 8 years and after 5 minutes we were back to those times and it didn’t feel like a decade has gone by, so weird, but so great 😀 And …

Dark. Debauched. Delicious.

Is she ready to go under his knife?

Leila Vaughn is a tax lawyer at a prestigious London law firm. And a whore. Leila didn’t take the night job just to pay off her debts–an affair with an older man once stirred a pit of darker desires. Now her year as an escort is almost over, she’s ready to lock up her alter-ego, Charlotte, and be normal once again.

What’s bad is that her colleague, Matt, just caught her out.

What’s worse is that their boss, Joseph, is with him.

Matt wants to rescue Leila. She should want what he does–monogamy and escape from the city–if she’s going to be normal, right? But Joseph is as familiar …

BLI: Hi Lucy, welcome to Book Lovers Inc! Can you please tell us a bit about yourself?

Hello, and thank you for having me 🙂
