New Year Blog Hop

Welcome everyone. Thanks so much for stopping by and participating in the New Year Blog Hop.

When I heard the theme to this hop was favorite New Years memories, I didn't have to think very hard about which one I'd choose.

It would be New Years Eve 1999. I was pregnant with my first son, Jake, and we'd recently found out he was going to be a boy. We lived in the city at the time, so we drove out to the suburbs to visit my grandmother. We stayed the evening, surrounded by family as we ate entirely too much and watched the TV coverage of every country ringing in the millennium.  ABC news and CNN had worldwide coverage as the clock struck midnight around the world. We started with Australia and ended with California. I'm not certain how I made it to three am to see the west coast ring it in, but I did.

That all seems like yesterday. Remember Y2K?

I think the memory of that night sticks with me twelve years later because I was embarking on a new phase in my life... motherhood. A few months later, I'd leave my job and dedicate myself to my new little one. As excited as I was, I was scared to death. What did I know about being a mom?

It all worked out and now my little boy is in middle school and we've added a brother to the mix. Where did the time go? When I look back, it seems like yesterday. How can my boys be 11 and 8 already? And, I'm pushing 40! Really?

Its all good. We've made so many memories in these past twelve years and I'm looking forward to everything life has to give me. We've got nothing but time and I intend to make the most of it.

Happy New Year!

Today I'm offering up one copy each of my most current releases. Leave a comment and your e-mail addy. Let me know if you have a preference, but don't be shy, if you want them both, just let me know. I'll do a random drawing and pick two winners on January 5, 2012.

Successful businessman Alec Carter realizes his life is less than fulfilled when he meets beautiful Princeton University senior Clara Whittaker at a local coffee shop. Alec experiments in the BDSM lifestyle but doesn't consider himself hardcore until he crosses paths with the obviously submissive Clara. The more time Alec spends with young Clara, the more his dominant tendencies push to the surface. She could be what he has been missing.

After her grandmother's death, Clara ends up a guest in Alec's home until she can finish school. She quickly learns she's a natural submissive and decides she wants to explore this new side of herself with the man of house. Alec shows her a life she never knew existed as they enter a world of role playing, fantasy, and desire. Alec may be the Master, but Clara holds the key to his heart.

As the semester comes to an end, so does their arrangement. If Alec doesn't admit his true feelings for Clara, she could walk out of his life forever. But, Alec isn’t sure which she craves more . . . his dominance . . . or his love.

Sometimes love can be found where we least expect it.

When Parker Phillips, a successful attorney, has a confrontation with his friend Ava's abusive boyfriend, he finds himself facing assault and battery charges, and he's ordered to attend an anger management course. Parker, who has never been attracted to a man, is drawn to Dr. Jace Cross, the psychiatrist leading the class. But how can that be, since Parker is straight?

Jace accepted the fact that he was gay many years ago, and he's comfortable in his sexuality, but he's been single for some time now. He throws himself into his work to fill the lonely void.

Although sparks fly whenever they're together, Parker's reluctant to embrace these feelings he has for another man.

Can the sexy doctor help him discover who he truly is?
