Holt And DeLand Rock It Out

Need good books to read? Hot heroes and feisty heroines? And maybe win some prizes, too? Once a month at our Cyber Launch Party, Cerise DeLand and Desiree Holt boogie out to unveil their latest salsa-hot releases, then answer questions about their deepest, darkest secrets and today's the day. Fun games and prizes at the hottest place on the Web!

LADY STARLING'S STOCKINGS by Cerise DeLand

Now on sale for 99 cents!

Lady Solange Starling has a special skill. But catching spies within her cousin's embassy has never presented a challenge...until now.

One moonlit evening in a garden, Solange views a daring man she has not seen in years. A man she never forgot. A man, who even in his youth, carved his place in her life and her reverie.

Monsieur Noir, he calls himself. And so he is, a man living in shadows, dark and dangerous to her heart. As the two of them join together to weed out the nemesis who attempts to destroy their fight against Napoleon, Solange and Noir learn how rich grand passion can be.

Once more, they fight against cruel fate to give them what they most desire. Each other. Free of torment and loss. Free at last to love.

NIGHT HEAT by Desiree Holt

NOW IN PRINT

Jill Danvers left Bluebonnet Falls ten years ago and never expected to go back. When Gabe Carter, the love of her life, married someone else she took the pieces of her shattered heart and ran as fast and as far as she could. But Gabe is chairing The Falls' bicentennial celebration and the magazine Jill writes for has assigned her to do a piece on it. The minute she walks into Gabe's office she discovers two things - she's as hot for him as she ever was, and Gabe isn't married.

Their feelings for each other explode and they heat up the nights, the sex hotter and more erotic than either thought possible. But there are still a lot of obstacles in their path. The former Mrs. Carter comes home determined to reclaim Gabe for herself and a nasty scandal is brewing over a new development meant to put Bluebonnet Falls on the map. A scandal that could involve everyone.

The wolves led her to safety, but can they keep her safe from the killers tracking her?

When Lauren Rhodes is kidnapped and taken to an isolated cabin in the Maine woods, it's only by sheer determination and the help of three wolves that she manages to escape. She is stunned when they then lead her to safety at the cabin of Sentinel Luke Spencer and his wife. And even more stunned to meet Damien Moreno and discover the explosive sexual chemistry between them.

She needs him and The Sentinels to find out who's after her, but what happens when she discovers his true nature? Can she ever turn her back on the powerful attraction between them and the off-the-charts sex?

  11. Hi everyone! Thanks for coming to the party. Okay, yes we are very good friends and we do write together. Until Twilight is Book 3 in our Nemesis series, all erotic thrillers that take the reader all over the globe. Nemesis is a top security agency run by a very strong alpha female who gradually adds female partners. We're just loving writing the stories.

  12. The Sentinels series is mine and this is Book 6. Two more to go. Cerise has more historicals and she'll tell you about them when she gets here this afternoon.

    ReplyDelete

  15. Jessica, forgot to answer your question. I think I have too many favorites (LOL!) but at the moment my two very special faves are DOWNSTROKE and JOY RIDE. Just love my heroes.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Yes, eight in the series One for each of the original Sentinels. The Sentinels are a group of eight shapeshifters orphaned from their packs who come together in Texas and form their own new pack. The make a decision to use their special skills to help others with protection and security issues. Two of them are females. In each story one of them meets his or her mate and sometimes that mate is a human, sometimes an other shifter. And they all cross over story lines.The stories are set in Maine and Texas.

  17. Elaine, the weirdest thing? I'll let Cerise answer for herself but I think for me it was a letter to the editor in the local paper that became a tiny scene in a book. Of course, wherever I am I always play the What If game and see what rolls around in my head! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hi, Ladies and congratulations on both of your new releases. If you had to choose one genre only to write in what would you choose? Do you have a favorite genre or author to read?

    sstrode at scrtc dot com

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think for me erotic romantic suspense because it hits all the elements I love. And it's my favorite genre to read, too, But fave authors? Oh, wow. Too numerous to mention! Of course, I always have to tip my hat to Joey Hill who does not write suspense but does write the most beautiful erotic love stories in the universe. She's been my inspiration since I read The Ice Queen.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh, I love the sound of those books - gonna have to read them all!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Catching up here.... YOu all have had a good time today.
    But I am here now for the next 3 hours! More fun. More giveaways.
    I will go read and see where I can jump in with something intelligent to contribute!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I will answer that question about my favorite genre to write!
    I adore romantic suspense because it gives an edge of danger to a plot, a spice that is not your ev ery day thingie and when you are falling in love, to have your man prove how MUCH he loves you by helping to save you (and you him) from disaster is a turn on for me!
    Then too thriller is so close to this--and that is the next series DESIREE and I do with NEMESIS. UNTIL TWILIGHT, out recently is the 3rd.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Congrats on your releases! Both look intriguing and will be on my to read list.

    My question is what do you read out of your genre? I grew up reading science fiction and for the past twenty years obsessed over Regency romances, but I write contemporary romance and have ideas for two young adult books. Just asking. Have a great day! juleejadams@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  24. Have you seen the cover of this??? OMG
    Jimmy Thomas, of course, but wow, the look on her face just kills me!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Julee, Almost half of what I read is OUTSIDE romance genre.
    I do read non-fiction, biographies (of famous and not so), straight historicals, lots of womens fiction and a lot of mystery!
    I am pubbed in print in contemporary mystery and I love killing someone!!! LOL
    But I do. I like to kill them for a darn good reason and give my "sleuth" a great reason to find the killer.
    But on my TBR pile right now?
    Jo Nesbo, mystery, NEMESIS (yeah, funny but that is the title)
    Loretta Chase, Lord of Scoundrels, Can you beleive I NEVER read this????
    Just finished an old old book, called ROMANTIC COUPLES OF THE SILVER SCREEN. fab.u.lous.

    ReplyDelete
  26. My latest release by myself is a REGENCY, LADY STARLING's STOCKINGS!
    It is only 99 cents at Amazon and all other places!

    The heroine of this book which begins the NEMESIS series works at a high powered job in the Capitol. What is her job title, what is her boss's title...and where do they both have offices, be specific.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Maddie works for the Speaker of the House, Paul Trask, on Capitol Hill, presumably, at the House of Representatives in Washington, DC. It's unclear what her job title is? Head of staffing?

    ReplyDelete
  33. she works for the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, she is the head of homeland security in Georgetown.

    ReplyDelete
  34. One thing I wanted to discuss was the new wave of 99 cent books!

    HAVE you bought a lot of these, esp. by new authors to you???

    ReplyDelete
  35. i love it! i have found quite a few new authors. :) definitely saves money! :)

  37. I've really appreciated authors being willing to price so competitively--it's easy to try a new-to-me author or get caught up with ones I already enjoy this way!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Yes, I like that pub houses are now offering older books for the 99 cents, too.

    Hmm. will hold out for the answers to that question on UNTIL THE DAWN....

    Will run another for a cc of UNTIL TWILIGHT...next.

    ReplyDelete
  39. In LADY VARNEY's RISQUE BUSINESS, the hero was born one place but now lives in another?

    tee hee.

    WHAT ARE THOSE 2 places?
    And i will give away a cc of LADY FEATHERSTONE FOR THIS TOO!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I believe Justin was born in America but recently relocated to London to care for his ailing uncle. He's to inherit...

    ReplyDelete
  41. Hi all! Stepping back in. Hoping Julee's still here to get the answer to her question. Out of my genre I love to read sweet romance by Sherryl Woods and Susan Mallery and political thrillers by writers like Brad Thor, Vince Flynn and David Baldacci.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Okay. Question time. For a copy of your choice of Sentinels books, al except the latest. Where are the books set? Hint: I talked about it earlier.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Wow, I just saw the GFC post for this. Did I miss much? I wish a lot more publishers and authors offered the older books for 99 cents. I love to catch up on an author's backlist. Hopefully my computer continues to work properly so I can keep checking in.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Shadow and Jen you are half right

    ReplyDelete
  45. Jen, I so sympathize with you about computer problems.And you got here just in time for this contest.
