While we worked together to get the ranch back in shape I was torn between wishing he’d make a move on me and being afraid that he might. Talk about a coward. That was me. Until he made that first move and then fireworks went off. This man is the king of the studs without exception.

And if that wasn’t enough, he had another little surprise for me. He…Oh, wait! If you really want to know all the hot, juicy details, you have to read my story in Hot to Trot from Ellora’s Cave by my good friend Desiree Holt. It will be released shortly. Meanwhile you can also visit me and catch up on my life at http://temptthecougar.blogspot.com/

I’ll be looking for you!

Meanwhile here’s a little taste to whet your appetite.

Autumn

Autumn did her best to keep her head on straight where Mitch was concerned but the sensations rocketing through her body made it difficult. She’d taken Rachel’s advice and dressed in a brand-new, skintight pair of jeans and an embroidered tank top, one with two buttons at the scoop neck that she casually left open. Every few seconds Mitch’s eyes would stray to the swell of her breasts. If he caught her watching him, a slow, hot as sin smile would creep over his face. .

She was sure from the heat she felt and the tiny grin lifting one corner of his mouth that she was blushing furiously. She lifted her glass of ice water, draining it completely, hoping it would cool her off. Mitch’s knowing smile didn’t help much.

Come on, Autumn. Seductresses don’t blush and act like shy virgins. You wore the damn top to catch his attention, so don’t play coy.

The food was excellent. Trouble was she had difficulty concentrating with Mitch sitting so close to her, his very masculine scent teasing at her nostrils, her eyes glued to the muscles in his jaw and throat as he chewed and swallowed. It had been bad enough riding in the truck with him, very aware of the play of muscles in his arms as he drove and the way the worn denim stretched over his thighs. But sitting here with him her mind, let loose from its usual prison of inhibitions, kept picturing him naked.

Just as it had every day since they’d met.

She took a sip of the ice-cold beer in front of her and it suddenly occurred to her that this was the second Lone Star beer she’d downed without even realizing it. She’d been working long days, as much to get the house in shape as to work off the unfamiliar sexual energy charging through her. She knew she needed to get to a bed and crash but—surprise, surprise—she wanted Mitchell Brand to be in it with her. Now the band was tuning up and they opened up with something slow and sultry, matching her mood exactly.

“Come dance with me, Autumn.” Mitch covered one of her hands with his. “A little music will relax you. Come on. Just one dance.”

Dance with him? Let his body press close to mine? Am I ready for this?

Before she realized it she was on the dance floor, her body plastered to Mitch’s.

Oh, lordy, I am in such big trouble here.

Desiree Holt Bio:



Desiree Holt has lived a life of excitement that brings the color to her writing. She was a summer fishing guide, a summer field hand where she was one of only three women working, a member of a beginning ski team that skied in competition (and no, no broken bones!). /she spent several years in the music business representing every kind of artist from country singer to heavy metal rock bands. For several years she also ran her own public relations agency handling any client that interested her. She loves to tell the story of sending a singer up in a hot air balloon singing “Up, Up and Away in My Beautiful Balloon” and stopping traffic for four miles in every direction. Before and between her two marriages she dated enough hunks to fill up two he-man calendars, one of whom taught her to shoot so beware, she’s always armed. She’s kept a fresh look at erotic romance by making sure the sensuality factor in her private life is always high. She’s married to her own personal alpha hero who helps her with that.

Judith Rochelle:


I live in the Hill Country of Texas where most of my hunky cowboys and other alpha males come from. My real love is Texas, so it’s where many of my stories are set.



I’ve had a lot of firsts in my life – first female sports report on The Michigan Daily at the University of Michigan; first woman to own a rock and roll agency in Detroit, the home of Motown; first woman president of the Pasco (Florida) Economic Development Council.

My background is so varied it’s given me a lot of experiences to choose from when plotting my stories. I’ve been an insurance agent, newspaper reporter for weekly newspapers, a public relations and special events coordinator, manager of rock and Top 40 bands, worked for both a public and private university including vice president for public relations), chaired regional economic development councils and served on several political campaign committees.

I sold my first book Love With a Proper Rancher, a contemporary Western romance, in 2006, and it became the first of a trilogy-Cutter’s law and One Hot Texas Night, published by The Wild Rose Press. Since then, under both my own name and my erotic pen name of Desiree Holt, I have sold 39 novels and novellas to The Wild Rose Press, Ellora’s Cave, Total-e-bound and The Lotus Circle.

Redemption and Always On My Mind, written as Judith Rochelle, received 4 star reviews from Romantic Times, as did Night Heat and Where Danger Hides, written as Desiree Holt. Give It To Me, by Desiree, received 4 ½ stars.

Desiree’s short story, Night Ride, received the Night Owl romance Award as best western erotic romance of 2008; Teaching Molly, Desiree’s Older Woman/Younger Man novella, is nominated for an Eppie and also for a CAPA at The Romance Studio. Desiree’s Night Heat and Judith’s Visions of Darkness have been nominated for the Love Romances Café Award as Best Romantic Suspense of 2008. Beg Me received the Just Erotic Romances award for Naughty Nibble of 2007.

I have served in several offices of my local Romance Writers of America chapter, San Antonio Romance Authors.

When I’m not writing I’m an avid reader – anything and everything – and watching football, especially my Michigan Wolverines.
