Hello hello! I'm so glad you could stop by. I'm looking forward to a great year. I'm thrilled to announce that Dee Carney, Cari Quinn, Dee Tenorio and I are getting the band back together to release another super steamy anthology this summer, so if you loved Undercover Lovers, you are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE Unexpected Lovers. This time, rather than featuring a main character harboring a secret, our main characters will be friends who, for some reason or another, haven't managed to become lovers. Until now! This anthology will be out on July 1st, but come back next month for some teaser blurbs and our cover reveal!
In other news, I just contracted a sexy friends-to-lovers story, Overdrive, which will be released by Samhain Publishing in January 2013.
Last but not least, on May 28th, The Bewitching Tale of Stormy Gale comes out! This is a sequel to the Carina Press novella The Twisted Tale of Stormy Gale, which I wrote under my steampunk alter-ego, Christine Bell. This is my first category-length book and I'm really excited.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by. Please feel free to take a look around, read some of my book excerpts or check out my blog for articles on writing and other interesting tidbits. I'd love to hear from you, so if you'd like to get in touch with me, please do so via the Contact page.

Out Now for $.99!

Book three in the Rock Hard series.
Since Christa Reilly broke his heart ten years ago, Tai-Nan Rivera has steered clear of emotional attachments. Life's okay, though. He's in an amazing band, has great friends and has put his troubles with the law behind him. He's even managed to forget about Christa...almost. Until she comes barreling back into his life, talking about forgiveness. He lets her know that a reunion isn't on the menu but he'd be happy talk to her...after some hot, sweaty sex, of course. The thought of slumming again will surely send her running back to Daddy. Then maybe he can put their past behind him for good.
When Christa sees Tai's face on a billboard after years of searching, she drops everything to find him. But the boy she'd loved is now a man who can't forgive her for their tumultuous past. He finally agrees to talk to her, but for a price. She'll risk everything to prove she's worthy of his heart, if only he would trust her with it...one more time.

Micah's new living arrangement with her best friend is quickly becoming unbearable. Not because Tomas isn't a good roommate. When they're alone, he shows her his sweet, loyal side. It's just that he shows the rest of his parts to half the women in town. If she can't scrape together the money for her own place soon, witnessing the aftermath of his late-night carousing is going to break her heart.
Then again, if it's going to break anyway, maybe she should just go ahead and make a move on the man she's loved since high school. And risk his rejection a second time.
It hasn't been easy for Tomas to share space with the one damsel he can't bear to see in distress. To have her within easy reach has been torture. His foster mother's words echo in his head: a classy girl like Micah deserves more than the likes of him. But lately Micah's been rattling his cage. If she does it one more time, she'd better be ready for the animal she awakens.
Unfortunately for him, Micah's hot little hands are already wrapped around the bars...

Quinn Myles loves her life. She's in a kick-ass rock band, and they're on their way to the big-time.
