INDISCRETION by Elisabeth Grace (Character Post/Giveaway)

Please give a warm welcome to the characters from Elisabeth Grace's contemporary romance, INDISCRETION! 



MAX: Now that I know you a little better, I realize it’s very atypical of you to do what we did in the back of On The Rocks that night we met. I have to ask…why did you?

CHLOE: I should’ve known you’d start with a question like that after my experience playing Truth or Dare with you. *rolls eyes* I think it was a combination of things. I was away from home celebrating my friend’s upcoming marriage, my sister had just left leaving me feeling a little lost, I’d had a few drinks…

MAX: I think you forgot my stunning good looks.

Loving the Prince by Nicole Murphy (Excerpt/Giveaway)



23003048Loving The Prince 
(The Jorda Trilogy Book 1)
by Nicole Murphy
eBook, 216 pages
Published August 1st 2014 by Escape Publishing - Harlequin Enterprises, Australia Pty Ltd
Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | ARe
From Escape’s fresh, exhilarating science fiction romance catalogue comes a story of corporate espionage, betrayal, sex, and bodyguards. Just another day in the colonies.

Cassandra Wiltmore is the heir to the throne of Rica, but it’s unlikely she’ll be stepping up any time soon. So she spends her days managing and building the Rican Balcite Mining Company. The company has made her family wealthy beyond imagination, but that kind of power needs careful control, and Cassandra is just the Wiltmore to control it.

When a new bid for the mining license is announced, Cassandra is determined to squash it. Then the thefts and threats begin, and every step she takes seems to be wrong. Taking on a new protector seems like an indulgence Cass can’t afford, but she equally cannot afford to be caught off-guard. If only the best man for the job wasn’t also the best-looking man she’s ever seen.

Kernan Radaton has ambition, and as protector to Cassandra Wiltmore, he’s well placed to reach all his long-held goals. If only his new all-business boss didn’t make him think of only pleasure. With the company, the heir and the family under attack, the last thing anyone needs is a distraction. But once everything is safe again, Kernan is developing new ambitions — ones that involve a lot of very personal time spent getting to know his boss on a very personal level.

Falling in love is like swimming with sharks…

Sharona Blaire is only in Australia for a business audit, but she’s determined to make the most of her one free night. So when she spills her drink on a handsome stranger and they end up flirting, she does something completely out of character—she kisses him. But the prospect of taking it further totally freaks her out…almost as much as discovering the next morning that the man she’s auditing is the sexy, tanned stranger she left with zero explanation. 

An audit during his crew’s most important expedition yet is a complication marine biologist Jeff Cruz doesn't need—especially when the auditor is the gorgeous, fascinating woman from the night before. Out at sea with nowhere to run, he’s forced to admit Sharona draws him in like a shark to blood. But Jeff's one passion is his job, and nothing—not even love—will get its hooks in him...

Anna Campbell’s WHAT A DUKE DARES (Guest Post/Giveaway)



Thanks so much for having me as your guest today. Love the name of the blog! I think I want to use it as the title for my memoirs. Hic! 

Next Tuesday, I have a new book out (I’ll drink to that!). It’s called WHAT A DUKE DARES and it’s number three in my Sons of Sin series. If any of you have read the other SoS books, you’ll know Camden Rothermere, the Duke of Sedgemoor, Mr. Cool, Calm and Composed (that doesn’t last in this story!). 

At the start of Duke, Cam proposes to his childhood friend Penelope Thorne. To his utter amazement, she says no and hares off to Europe, seemingly preferring the company of an eccentric aunt to becoming his duchess. You can see why he doesn’t stick to cool, calm and composed! 

I wondered what Pen would pack when she runs away from a marriage proposal from the most eligible man in England. Here’s what she told me:
