Over the next few weeks, I will be releasing several erotic romance titles that had been previously released through Ellora's Cave and Samhain Publishing, both of which have closed their doors. I've gotten the rights back to all of them and have been designing new covers and formatting them for re-release.
A Taste of Honey had been included in a Caveman anthology, Seasons of Seduction IV, back in 2007. Ten years ago! But this title was never released on its own. So now it's almost like a new release!
Blurb:
The cowboy and the
lady
Cowboy Jake Manning is nursing a beer and a heart that’s been
stomped into a million pieces when classy Shauna Montgomery asks him to dance. Jake
knows better than to get involved with another sweet-smellin’ woman, but what
the hell, it’s just a dance.
Shaunna had been planning a little revenge against the
boyfriend who dumped her but the steamy dance floor seduction leaves both her
and Jake hot and hurting. They end up at Jake’s place for a lesson in power,
control and passion. But they’ll have to
get past their differences to learn to trust again.
Excerpt:
Shauna Montgomery wasn’t thinking about the fact that she
was in the middle of a crowded dance floor as she sucked face with the sexiest
cowboy on the face of the earth. She wasn’t thinking of that bastard Bobby and
how she hoped his eyes were popping out of his head right about now.
She couldn’t think at all.
Her body was awash with sensations. The raw, musky scent of
his skin. The heat of his body wrapped around her. The hardness of his arousal
as it rubbed against the zipper of her jeans. The taste of beer and something
else, something primal, as they tangled tongues.
She should have been embarrassed. She should have been
horrified that she was rubbing her body up against a perfect stranger. In
public yet. Letting his hands roam all over her. Wanting his hands on
her.
The sensible switch in her brain must have been turned off.
Her body was in control now. She moaned
and pressed even harder against him. Who was she kidding? No part of her was in
control, she was simply reacting. Her body throbbed with desire. Her panties
were wet. Her nipples prickled with need.
His cream-colored shirt was soft as she gathered the fabric
in her fists. She wanted to pull him closer. Wanted to crawl inside him. What
was it about this cowboy that made her feel more intensely than she ever had
before?
They weren’t even pretending to be dancing anymore. His lips
were bruising as they captured her mouth, feeding on her, drinking her in. His
hands tangled with her hair and held her head in place. She grasped his
muscular upper arms and held on tight.
Gradually, the kissing gentled. She wanted to cry when he
slid his tongue out of her mouth, leaving it empty. He lightly brushed his lips
over hers and she felt the smile that lifted his lips.
“You think that did the trick?”
“What?” The kiss really had turned her brain to mush. She struggled to focus on his words. “What
trick?”
His dark eyes sparkled with amusement. He probably thought
it was funny that he’d kissed her senseless. No, not senseless. Her senses were
on overload. Brainless. That’s what she was now.
“Did we teach the jerk a lesson?”
The jerk? Oh. Bobby. She just nodded and stared at that
lean, rugged face. Laugh lines were etched into his tan skin. What kind of
idiot woman would dump this handsome cowboy?
He turned his head and the soft, brown cowboy hat shaded his
face. Damn. “Looks like the band’s taking a break.”
Her brain started working again. The music wasn’t throbbing
through the speakers any longer and the other dancers had returned to their
seats, but they were still in a clinch in the middle of the dance floor. And
somehow she’d ended up straddling one of his thighs. Now she felt a warm blush
creep over her face. She slowly peeled herself away from him even as her body
whimpered at the loss.
Through the buzz of arousal still running through her, she
felt a burst of triumph. She didn’t have to look at Bobby to know he’d watched
every stroke, every touch, every pulse of their bodies on the dance floor. She
hoped he was hard and hurting and regretting the fact that he’d tossed her
aside with complaints like she was too bossy and spoiled and lacking in sex appeal.
Ha. After one dance with the cowboy, she could tell Bobby a
few things in which he was lacking.
Things this cowboy definitely wasn’t lacking. The guy had
come to her rescue like a knight in faded denim. He’d held her in his arms as
if she was something special. And acted as if she had tons of sex appeal.
Acted.
That’s right. Shauna couldn’t forget that this was all an
act. Make believe. Put on for Bobby’s benefit. The cowboy was probably anxious
to get rid of her now. She’d be sorry to see him walk away from her, but he’d
done more than his part.
Shauna took a deep breath and pasted a wide smile on her
face. “Thanks for the dance, cowboy.”
A Taste of Honey is only 99 cents and available now!
