Snarkology Paranormal Blog Hop
BOO!!! Did I scare you? Probably not, but welcome to my post on the Snarkology Paranormal Blog Hop. I hope you're enjoying the cooler weather. Halloween is one of my favorite events. I'm offering a free copy of my romantic thriller BAD MEDICINE to one lucky commenter. The paranormal element in BAD MEDICINE is a curandero, or Mexican healer. This guy grows more evil with every page you turn. He is searching for his true mate, the "gifted one" he was told would someday be his. Unfortunately, Chloe has no idea she possesses any kind of "gifts" and she's already in love with someone else. Rafael has been her sweetheart since grade school. Though they were torn apart, they have reunited and both are determined to stick together, no matter what might get in their way. Unfortunately, several factions are focused on destroying their relationship, once and for all. Besides the curandero, there is Rafael's family, a jealous rival and a herd of drug-dealing, human trafficking and otherwise uncool bad guys.
Does this sound exciting to you? Please leave a comment below to enter a random drawing to win a free download. Include your email so I can notify the winner.

I am offering a copy of BAD MEDICINE, the first book in The Edge of Texas series. Please leave a comment with your contact information to be entered in this drawing. My heroine, Chloe Palmer, has a power she doesn't even know about. Read all about it in this romantic thriller, as Chloe and Rafael battle the dark powers of the curandero.
Here is a short excerpt from BAD MEDICINE, when Chloe first meets the curandero:
Turning
her head, she saw Manuel Cruz push through the door, stepping aside for an
older man to pass.
The man
was taller than Manny and stood erect, exuding an aura of power as he gazed at
her. His eyes were hooded, like Manny’s and had the same coldness of a hawk
with a mouse in its talons.
She tried
to control the sudden fear clutching at her heart. She greeted Manny with a
weak smile.
A slow
grin spread across his face as he approached her. “Chica, it’s good to see you
again so soon. I saw your truck outside. I want you to meet my grandfather,
Baldemar Cruz, the curandero. You've heard of him, perhaps?”
Chloe
nodded, forcing herself to keep the smile in place. She was glad her hands were
full, precluding the necessity of shaking hands. Touching this man would be
like touching a snake, only more dangerous.
The elder
Cruz stared at her as though he recognized her, sending a tingling sensation to
the back of her neck.
“Abuelo,
this is my old friend from school, Chloe Palmer. I told you about her.” A look
passed between the two men.
Baldemar
Cruz stood several feet away from her and spread his arms slightly as though
embracing the air around her. He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath.
Chloe
could hear the air rushing into his lungs and felt as though she too, was being
drawn into him.
Colors
around her swirled together and she could feel her heartbeat throbbing
throughout her body. No, it was the curandero’s heartbeat that
pulsed his blood through her. She wasn't breathing on her own, but with his air
filling her lungs.
Suddenly
she’d shed her skin and soared far above the convenience store. The darkening
navy blue sky acted as a backdrop to the stars and the sliver of moon just
visible on the horizon. The coolness of the damp night air caressed her face
that wasn't a face, and the rush of being hurtled through space gave her a
sense of euphoria.
A sound grew
louder, but she hadn't noticed when it began. It wasn't an instrument or a
voice but it was musical in tone and it surrounded her, throbbed through her
being.
“Will
this be all for you?” The voice of the convenience store clerk jarred her back
to earth.
Chloe
gasped for air, looking around her, but Manuel Cruz and his grandfather had
vanished.

Summer Seduction Blog Hop ~ BAD GIRL!
Welcome hoppers! I'm going to share with you a small excerpt from my sexy romantic thriller, BAD GIRL!
I have a free download for 3 people
who leave a comment below.
I welcome International comments as the downloads
will be available to 3 lucky readers who selected by Rafflecoptor.
In BAD GIRL!, Kris, my heroine is a dominatrix. The problem begins when someone starts killing her clients in a manner related to their particular kink. She has been very closed up to any relationship since she was brutally assaulted two years ago. Now, with all the fear surrounding the murders, she realizes the one person who loves her and accepts her for who she is, is her martial arts instructor, Felix. He accompanies her on her appointments if she feels uneasy. Now, she shows up at his apartment late at night, and demands he make love to her.
The Excerpt:
Kris sighed, just the
tiniest whimper of pleasure, bringing a grin to Felix’ face.
“What?” He stared at her
lips and slowly lowered his mouth to hers, torturing her with his exquisite
languor. It became a fierce kiss, capturing her mouth, invading it, owning it.
Breathless, she pulled
away. “Is there a bed in this place?”
“Yes.” He pulled her
shirt over her head and fingered the lacy material of her bra.
She unhooked it and flung
it overhead.
Felix found her breasts
with his mouth and hands.
She was on fire. Flames
spread from her taut nipples, from his mouth suckling and teasing her, burned a
path to her core. “Oh, God! Show it to me!”
“What?” He made circles
around her nipple with his tongue.
Kris growled, frustration
breaking through her usual self-control. “The bed! The bed!”
He raised his head, a
laugh rumbling deep in his chest. “I’ll take you there if you’re sure you want
to do this, but I’ll ruin you for all other men.”
“Idiot! There are no
other men,” she said. “I only want you, Felix.”
He held her against the
wall, his voice falling soft as snowflakes against her neck. “This will change
everything. We’ll never be able to go back to just being friends.”
Kris kissed him and
whispered, “If you don’t take me to your bed now, I’m going to bite you until
you cry like a little girl.”
He laughed, his voice
deep and mellow. “Yes, Mistress.”
BAD GIRL! is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords and other fine book distributors.

And I'm also offering a download of my contemporary western romantic suspense, THE DOCTOR'S CHOICE, to one lucky reader who leaves a comment below. This was the first book in the Badlands series.
This Badlands series is set in the
Panhandle of north Texas. In the sequel, (and my most recent contemporary western romantic suspense) The Reluctant Rancher, there are two love stories intertwined in this novel.
In this scene, Sara Beth, a very young widow is thrilled when Frank, a cowboy
has helped her bring her store into the virtual world by helping her to gain an
internet account.
Sara Beth is becoming aware of Frank,
but this just overwhelms her and she really doesn't know what to do with her
feelings.
“Hey, Sara Beth,” he sang out.
She couldn’t repress her grin. “Hey yourself,
cowboy.”
“That’s me.” He winked at her.
Oh, my! Am I flirting? She struggled to
breathe normally. “I signed up with the ISP folks, like you told me.”
“Great,” he said. “Let me get you hooked up.”
She nodded, not sure what getting ‘hooked up’
entailed.
Frank asked which company she had signed up
with and made a quick phone call. He sat at the computer and very shortly
announced that she was ‘live’. He rose from the chair and indicated that she
was to be seated. “Do you have an e-mail account?”
When she said no, he proceeded to direct her
through the steps of obtaining an email address for her store.
She smiled, feeling shy. “This is how people
will write me when they want to buy something?”
He tilted his head. “Well, if they have a
question, for sure. But they should be able to just click a button and make a
purchase. Then you’ll be notified to send it to them and the money will go from
their checking account or charge card to your account. We can get that all set
up when we design your website.”
“My own website?” Thrilled, Sara Beth jumped up
from her seat and swung around to face him. She threw her arms around his neck
and hugged him hard.
Frank lifted her off her feet in a bear hug.
She felt his cheek against hers, sending her heart into palpitations. When he
set her back down, she blushed profusely.
“I’m so sorry.” She swallowed hard. “Oh, what
you must think of me, Frank.” She stepped back and pressed her lips together.
“I think a lot of you, Sara Beth. You’re a fine
woman and don’t you go having any doubts about that.”
She could feel her heart pounding hard. Indeed,
it was drumming in her ears. “I just don’t know why I did that.”
He lifted her chin, forced her to meet his
gaze. “Sara Beth,” he said quietly. “I like you too.”
