One night in college can change everything…

Away at college, Amy just wants one night alone without her high school sweetheart, Joe. So when he invites her to go to the library, she heads off on her own instead. How she ended up at a house party with the mysterious bad-boy Trevor is another story…

Joe so isn’t going to the library. He needs space from Amy, too, so he’s decided to rush a fraternity, to get back the swagger he had in high school. But it doesn’t take long for the brothers to invite him to the real rush–where the beer is flowing and one particular girl has set her eyes on Joe.

Over the course of one wild night, both Amy and Joe will have to decide if their futures belong with two new people, or whether the next forever will have their first loves in it.

**Recommended for ages 17+ due to sexual content and language, mature subject matter**

We’re happy to reveal the cover for Robin Covington’s upcoming Brazen release, Playing the Part. She’s here today to show some cover love and fan girl a little bit about a favorite author of hers.

About four years ago, I wrote an email to an author I loved and asked for information on how to achieve my dream of writing a romance novel. That author, Jo Davis, wrote back with encouragement, inspiration and amazing advice. Imagine my excitement when a couple of months ago I asked her to read my June release and she said yes.

Imagine my thrill when I got the following in my inbox . . .

“PLAYING THE PART by Robin Covington is a sleek, sexy tale of consuming passion and enduring love. Mick is the hero of every woman’s fantasies, and the heat between Mick and Piper burns up the pages! Robin Covington delivers sizzling romance that leaves me begging for more!”–Jo Davis, National bestselling author of SWORN TO PROTECT”

Add that to my total cover love and I am one, happy author!

About Playing the Part . . .

After publicly self-destructing over a heartbreak a year ago, bestselling romance writer Piper James is now making nice with her publisher by agreeing to teach Hollywood’s favorite action star how to act like he’s in love. Only playboy Mick Blackwell has no clue what love looks like.

When a seductive heat ignites between Piper and Mick, she jumps at the chance for a bit of fun between the sheets, but with two stipulatons: she¹s kept out of the public eye and things end when she returns to New York. Only Mick keeps changing the rules on her. Tempted by America’s favorite bad boy, Piper is wondering how far she’s willing to bend…

Tremble (A Denazen Novel)

by Jus Accardo

Dez Cross has problems. She’s almost eighteen and on the verge of losing her mind thanks to the drug Denazen used to enhance her abilities. People close to her have turned their back on the underground and are now fighting for the wrong side. And then there’s Kale… Things couldn’t get any worse.

Until of course, they do. Denazen is about to start a new trial—this one called Domination—and it works. But that means out with the old and in with the new. The order has been given to terminate all remnants of the second trial—including Dez. The good news is that there’s a survivor from the original trial. A woman who’s blood may hold the cure for the second generation of Supremacy kid’s defect. But the underground Sixes aren’t the only ones who know about her….

Cross is willing to throw everything he has to keep Dez from getting the cure—including the one thing that might tear her apart from the inside out.

Hold Me Down Hard

by Cathryn Fox

When Eden Carver, Iowa farm girl turned NY actress, decides to seduce the sexy cop next door, she begins to wonder if she’s bitten off more than she can chew.

The last thing Officer Jay Bennett wants is to cross a line with the sweet and innocent country girl—no matter how much he’d like to help himself to a nibble. Not only are they in the friendship zone, a naïve girl like Eden doesn’t belong in his dangerous world.

But when she asks him to help her rehearse lines, and things go from simmer to boil, he finds himself doing the one thing he swore he’d never do.He knows he needs to walk away from temptation, but when sweet little Eden bites back, it tilts his world on its axis.

Because biting back changes everything.

About Undying Destiny by Jessica Lee

Book Description

Kenric St. James is out for revenge. Over 300 years ago, an ancient female vampire turned him against his will and killed the woman he loved. He’s spent more than a century building an Enclave of warrior vampires who have sworn to defend humanity against his evil sire and her minions. But when Kenric finds a woman he finally burns to claim as his own again, Kenric knows loving her means giving his sire another target.

Emily Ross just wanted a fresh start. She’s a survivor, coming off the tail end of an abusive relationship, and craves time alone to learn who she is and to save the home that holds her heart. The last thing she needed was a controlling, alpha male calling all the shots.

Meeting Kenric might just have changed her mind, though. He is wrong for her in all the right ways. But in order to keep her heart from breaking, he first has to keep the hoards of evil vamps from stealing her very breath.

Summary

Eve Doucette finally almost has it all. Shes free from her mistake of an ex-husband and just landed her dream job: project manager for a new City Hall and drafter of the final design. That is, until a handsome architect sweeps into town to commandeer her blueprints.

Famous architect Matt Brison is unsatisfied with his mundane life in Toronto. So when the mayor of Halifax asks him to spearhead his City Hall project, Matt jumps at the opportunity. Theres just one problem: the feisty and beautiful project lead, Eve, who isnt exactly thrilled about her new “coworker” hijacking her design.

But when the sparks begin to fly, they both find themselves falling for the colleague they shouldnt want. And before they know it, their already shaky foundation might come crumbling down…

About Into the Fire by Amanda Usen

Book Description:

Jackson Calabrese has a lot of nerve. He beat Lila Grant in the Culinary Academy competition using her recipes. Now, he’s opening a restaurant and wants her help? Fine, she’ll fix his menu, but it’s going to cost him.

Heir to the Calabrese restaurant empire, Jackson can buy anything he wants, except creativity, so he buys Lila’s instead. He can craft perfect paella, but to take New York by storm he needs her innovative spark.

Skillets aren’t the only things hot in the kitchen, and an uneasy truce ignites into passion. They’re great in bed, but Jackson doesn’t trust her, and Lila is contemplating revenge. The restaurant opening approaches, the menu is completed, and the tables are set for one final act of betrayal. How can love bloom in the midst of such a hot mess?

Genre: Romance

Length: 201

Release Date: June 10, 2013

Imprint: Indulgence

Please welcome Anna Cleary, one of the authors of When Honey Got Married, for a little bit of Straight Talk!

When you are getting ready to start a new book, what’s the first thing you do? 

I roam like a pregnant butterfly. Can’t settle to anything, can’t concentrate on reality, scour list after list for The Right Names, read every word I can find on a given possible subject,  drive family insane with my vagueness and preoccupation. Eventually the misty characters forming in my head develop voices, and once I have their Names, a moment arrives when I’m ready to start. Can’t start without the names.

How do you celebrate when you finish writing a book?

For some reason I never seem to write The End at any reasonable hour. It’s always three or four in the morning, so the very first thing is to indulge myself in the bliss of sleeping long and late.  Then I plunge into an orgy of catch- up—housecleaning, socialising, gardening, shopping, meeting people for lunch or coffee, inviting friends to dinner, behaving as much like a normal person as I can remember how, and reading,  reading, reading.

Have you had any fun fan moments since you became a writer?

Lots. For me, every contact with readers is wonderful. Authors spend much of their lives in communication with imaginary people, so it’s the greatest thrill ever to chat with someone else who has engaged with them too. One of my books was set in Paris, so I was delighted recently to meet a reader who told me she’d loved it and recognised all the places in it from a visit she’d made there last year.

If you could have dinner, coffee, or drinks with a fictional character, who would you choose and where would you go?

Mr Rochester—drinks, I think. I have a few questions I’d like to ask him on the subject of keeping a wife in the attic.

Do you usually begin a book with a character or a plot?

Always start with the characters. The plot grows from the sort of people they turn out to be. Sadly, since I’m a chronic pantser, I’m never very sure what that is until I’m several chapters in. Yes, being me is distinctly nerve-wracking!

Do you have any hobbies or special interests you’d care to share?

I love music, lit, opera and the arts. I can’t very well pretend not to be a nerd, so I suspect it shows through here and there in the words.

What was the inspiration for your book?

Ah. Once the four of us had settled on a wedding theme, and Louisiana, and decided to link our stories, Eve Fortescue, that beautiful dark-eyed minx, popped into my head fully- formed and dangerous in slinky crimson satin.

How difficult is if for you to come up with a title for your books?

Not difficult, though it changes from book to book.

Who would play your hero/heroine in the tv or film version of your book?

Rainer has to be played by David Gandy. I’m not sure Davy boy can act or talk southern, but he can certainly look the part! As for Eve, beautiful,complicated Eve, I need a present day Natalie Wood. Any suggestions?

Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?

Act like a detective. Read widely, look and listen, and eavesdrop on other people’s conversations. Listen to what people really say. (Though discreetly.)

What jobs have you had on your way to becoming a writer?

Teacher, plant nursery attendant, learning specialist for children with special needs, counsellor, trainer, mother.

Did you have any interesting experiences when you were researching your book, or getting it published?

The whole experience was marvellous and hilarious, courtesy of the three fantastic and inspiring people I worked with.  As one of the three Australian authors attempting to write Southern, I was, of course, heavily reliant on the advice of Ms Kimberly Lang, a bona fide Southern belle if ever I knew one, and one with rather strong views–though always politely, indeed delicately expressed–on the correct practice of Southern etiquette and culture.

In the South, they do not eat swan. And they do NOT hunt egret! And Southern ladies never swear. Ever, I swear!

Who are your favorite authors?

What authors have influenced your book? At the moment, my fave authors are Ally Blake, Kimberly Lang and Kelly Hunter! But I can’t deny Margaret Mitchell’s influence in  the writing of my story, or that of Tennessee Williams.

Are you a pantser or a plotter?

A terrible pantser. A totally mystified, sad, random, frustrated, chaotic, desperate panster. Want to know how that feels?

Where does the magic happen?  Where do you write?

I am chained to my study. I attempt to write elsewhere, but nothing really happens except on this keyboard, facing this screen, in this room.

Aside from writing, what do you do in your free time?

Spend time with my delightful daughter and some beloved friends, including my devoted cat. I adore the movies,  concerts, galleries, and my poor over-grown garden.

Do you prefer print books or eBooks?

Oh. (Sigh.) I love the real thing. The smell of the paper. The shiny cover.  The comforting feel of it in my hands.

What’s in the works for you?

I’m dreaming of writing a big book without restrictions. At the moment I’m writing a Kiss, though I suspect my editor fears it’s turning into an Intrigue. There’s always that risk. I wouldn’t mind another sashay down the road to Bellefleur, however. I relished the experience of When Honey Got Married…

About the Book: When Honey Got Married

A wedding planner should never mix business and pleasure, but Grace couldn’t resist breaking rule number one for a hot night with her high school crush!

Eve hoped to make one last play for the groom-who-got-away…but instead the down-on-her-romantic-luck actress instead found herself in dark corners with his successful, seductive cousin.

The sister of the bride needed a date of convenience and who better than her hazel-eyed, mysterious co-worker? If only Nina could keep her hands off his perfect body until she learned his true identity…

The groom proposed to her eight years earlier, but it was the steamy kiss that Pippa shared with his brother the night she left town that haunted her memories. Now she’s back and sharing much more than just kisses.

Nothing was going to ruin Honey’s wedding to the man of her dreams.  And she has just the wedding surprise for her beloved groom!

Brianna knows a date with Thomas could jeopardize her job, but he’s so maddening and insistent, she has a hard time denying him just one date. But that’s all it can be: one date. Because she has to protect her job and her secrets, even if it means giving up a chance at a life she never thought she’d have again.
