Fatal Exposure: New and Improved!
I'm re-releasing my award-winning erotic romantic suspense FATAL EXPOSURE, but I'm giving it a new look. A new title. And a NEW PRICE!! But the same sexy story remains.
The new title is STRIPPED DEFENSELESS (Thanks to author Helen Hardt for the idea!!). It works well with the story line, and it's sexy.
STRIPPED DEFENSELESS is an erotic romantic suspense, and it will be available in eBook form from Amazon in 1-2 days. I'll post the link when I find out what it is. I'm working on making it available from other online eBook retailers such as Barnes & Noble, Diesel, Sony, etc. So be on the lookout in the next month or so. [Update: Link to purchase for your Kindle here: Stripped Defenseless]
Here's the new blurb:
On the run from an abusive ex-boyfriend, Ava Lureau doesn’t expect to trust anyone, let alone have a one night stand with a dangerously gorgeous stranger. But leaving her cold, lonely bed behind and jumping into Kade’s strong arms is something she can’t resist. If only for a night.
Kade Gavin’s job is simple—capture his target and deliver her to the man who hired him. Nothing but a paycheck matters in Kade's bleak existence…until the enticing stripper with soft curves and a puzzling persona climbs into his bed—and under his skin.
When one night turns into a deadly adventure, snowbound in an isolated cabin, Ava must determine if her tempting captor is her savior…or the man who’ll leave her stripped defenseless.

Writer with Sizzle: Miranda Stowe
Please welcome Miranda Stowe! Miranda would like to give away a free eBook copy of her sizzling story Caught in Heat. If you’d like to leave your email address in the comments, that would help her get a hold of you. Thanks!
About Miranda:
Miranda writes erotic romance of the contemporary, paranormal and suspense variety. She lives with her wonderful, Brad-Pitt-lookalike husband (hey, they're both blond-haired and blue-eyed) and adorable still-needs-to-learn-the-meaning-of-NO toddler daughter on their spacious corn-field-and-cow-pasture-front property in Kansas. Librarian by day and author by night, she is also published in YA and contemporary mainstream romance under a different pen name.
You can find her at:

Lia: Great to have you here, Miranda. Tell us about your latest release.
Miranda: Caught in Heat came out in May from Cobblestone Press. It’s the beginning of my paranormal novella series called Half-breed Shifters.
The title pretty much says it all. When shapeshifter, Riley, is about to fall into her first mating heat, she frantically searches for a shifter refuge that’ll drug her up without feeling the need for sex.
But…Shaw Griffin, a human shifter hunter who is determined to wipe out the entire shapeshifting species after a pack of wolves slaughtered his family, catches her in one of his traps. As you can image, he just can’t kill Riley when he checks his trap because he’s a bit too turned on by the gorgeous, naked woman begging him to sex her up.
The second book in the series (Dreams of Wolf) just sold to Cobblestone. And its title tells you all you need to know there too!
Lia: Now that’s a hot premise! What is your favorite thing about being a romance writer?
Miranda: The happily ever after.
Lia: I definitely agree. What does your heroine love most about your hero? Least?
Miranda: In Caught in Heat, Riley admires Shaw’s back-down-from-nothing attitude, not even an obviously stronger shapeshifter (he’s human). He doesn’t fear anything.
Least? Well, she doesn’t necessarily appreciate the fact he wants to kill her when they first meet. Kind of a buzz kill!
Lia: LOL! That’s understandable. Have you ever cried or laughed out loud while writing a scene?
Miranda: I have no idea why, but every time I read this one line I wrote in Dreams of Wolf, I just can’t stop myself from cracking a smile. When the heroine finds out the hero is also part deer, she makes him change into his stag side and when she sees him in all his antlered glory, she says, “You probably get this a lot, but…nice rack.”
Lia: Hilarious line! Made me smile too. Do you have a favorite writer you’ve read over and over?
Miranda: I can’t count the number of times I’ve read “London’s Perfect Scoundrel” by Suzanne Enoch. LOVE IT!
Lia: I’ll have to check it out. Where is the wildest place your characters have had sex?
Miranda: In a truck…while the hero is driving home from a funeral (in Taken by a Killer). Or there’s that scene (in Mile High Service) where the h/h get in on in an airplane bathroom on a commercial flight. Or are those places even considered wild? I dunno.
Lia: Oh yeah. I think so. Where can readers find your books?
Miranda:
Whispers Publishing, Cobblestone Press, LLC. Amazon, All Romance ebooks, Fictionwise, Mobipocket. And one is coming soon to Liquid Silver Books!

My Self-publishing Venture...And a Sizzling Deal!
I've gained the rights back to two of my titles. Fatal Exposure and Off Limits. As I'm considering what to do with Fatal Exposure, a full length erotic romantic suspense, I've taken the big step of self-publishing Off Limits. So what does that mean?
For the reader, it simply means that Off Limits is now available with a new hot cover for the low price of 99 cents. It's available right now for your Kindle. And can also be purchased in various formats from Smashwords. In the near future, this erotic short story will be available from Barnes & Noble, Diesel, All Romance Ebooks, and many other online ebook vendors.
I'll have good news about the fate of Fatal Exposure soon, so be on the lookout for that, as well!
More about Off Limits:
Kara Reynolds has always been a law-abiding citizen, but when she’s forced to break into her ex's house to retrieve a treasured memento, she's caught off guard by his younger brother…who just happens to be a cop. And the star of Kara’s most forbidden fantasies.
Austin Bannon finally has Kara in his grasp. After ten years of trying to keep his hands off his brother's wife, he sees his chance to claim the woman he loves. And to show her that he’s all the man she’ll ever need.
Page count is about 26 pages if the ebook is printed out. Word count is about 9600 words.
I hope you'll enjoy the new low price and sizzling cover. So what do you think?
