PLAYING TO WIN, Book 4 in the Play-by-Play series!
Someone’s going to have to let down their guard…
Football star Cole Riley is notorious for doing as he pleases—on the field and off. He parties hard and fights harder, but if he doesn’t clean up his act, his career is over—so Cole reluctantly agrees to work with image makeover consultant Savannah Brooks. He’s not used to being told what to do, especially by some (admittedly hot) southern belle. As for Savannah, she’s not convinced she can transform this cocky (and aggressively sexy) force of nature. But she’s determined to give it her best shot.
When the sparks start to fly, Savannah lays down the ground rules: no personal complications. If she can turn off the tingle she feels every time Cole gives her a hot stare with his gorgeous baby blues, he can turn off his desire as well. But for two people determined to have it all, a hands-off policy can only last so long before one of them yields.
PLAYING TO WIN releases September 4th and is now available for Preorder!
So….what do you think? Is he hot enough?

I’m still here!
The holidays, coupled with physical therapy and a book deadline kicked my butt. But I’m still here, working away on editing the book that I finished (Playing To Win, Play-by-Play Book #4) so I can turn it into my editor this week.
I promise to be back soon, hopefully with something fun and to update you on my book release schedule for this year.
In the meantime, is anyone having winter out there? It’s very bizarre here in Oklahoma. We’re having like…no weather. It’s in the 50′s here. Some days it reaches 60. Not a snowflake has fallen all season (knocking hard on wood here). So not like a typical January. I know we had a miserable summer, so maybe Mother Nature is taking pity on us and giving us a mild winter. I’m almost afraid to say that because as soon as I do we’ll get three freakin’ feet of snow or ice dumped on us. But this is very strange. Not that I mind it at all, but still…strange.
And speaking of things that are strange–they are strange. All three of them:
That’s Jaz, Sam and Bee. They were helping me cook (i.e. hoping food would magically fall from the counter into their mouths). Sadly for them, it didn’t.
The strangest of them all is Sam. He routinely stares at–nothing. Like the wall, or the floor. Or in this instance, the tv that wasn’t turned on.
I think he sees dead people.

The incredibly awesome Maya Banks new book, WHISPERS IN THE DARK releases next week. It’s Book 4 of her amazing KGI series (and if you haven’t read this series yet, you totally should).
She came to him when he needed her the most
She came to him at his lowest point. The voice of an angel, a whisper in the dark. She’s the only thing that gets Nathan Kelly through his captivity, the endless days of torture and the fear that he’ll never return to his family. With her help, he’s able to escape. But he isn’t truly free, because now she’s disappeared and he’s left with an all-consuming emptiness as he struggles to pick up the pieces of his life. Did he imagine his angel? Or is she out there, needing his help as he’d once needed hers?
Now he rushes to save her before it’s too late
Shea has been on the run from people who will stop at nothing to exploit her unique abilities. She never wanted to drag Nathan, who’d already suffered so much, into danger, but she doesn’t have a choice so she reaches out to him for help. Finally face-to-face after having already formed a soul-deep bond in hell, their emotional connection is even more powerful than their telepathic one. Nathan refuses to consider ever letting her go again, but she worries they can never have a life free of the dangers that dog her every step. He’ll protect her with his every breath, but can he convince her that they are meant to face these threats together?

I love this book. It’s a wonderful, romantic, fun contemporary romance and the start of an awesome series by my wonderful friend, Shannon Stacey, who also happens to be an incredibly gifted author.
When Keri Daniels’ editor finds out she has previous carnal knowledge of reclusive bestselling author Joe Kowalski, she gives Keri a choice: get an interview or get a new job.
Joe’s never forgotten the first girl to break his heart, so he’s intrigued to hear Keri’s back in town—and looking for him. Despite his intense need for privacy, he’ll grant Keri an interview if it means a chance to finish what they started in high school.
He proposes an outrageous plan—for every day she survives with his family on their annual camping and four-wheeling trip, Keri can ask one question. Keri agrees; she’s worked too hard to walk away from her career.
But the chemistry between them is still as potent as the bug spray, Joe’s sister is out to avenge his broken heart and Keri hasn’t ridden an ATV since she was ten. Who knew a little blackmail, a whole lot of family and some sizzling romantic interludes could make Keri reconsider the old dream of Keri & Joe 2gether 4ever.

Thanksgiving is approaching here in the U.S., and I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who visit here on a regular basis. I’m so grateful for your support over the years. Thank you for reading my books, recommending them to others, and for being here with me. Without you, I wouldn’t get to do what I love.
If you’re traveling over this holiday weekend, I wish you a safe journey. I hope you enjoy the time you spend with the people you love, and that you enjoy their company. And if you’re shopping on Black Friday (I will be…poor Biker Dude), I hope you avoid the crazy people.
Happy Thanksgiving!
