Cover reveal! WANTON HEAT

Check out the cover for WANTON HEAT (releasing Feb 24th)

It's Brazen's first royal story (and for those who read WICKED HEAT, it's fiery Zoe's story!)

Here's the blurb:

At his majesty’s service…or so he thinks.

With her job and her self-respect on the line, advertising executive and reformed bad-girl Zoe Keaton heads to Italy to score a vital business deal. Unfortunately, the guy she needs to convince is the wickedly hot—and totally closed-off—Prince Dominic Ricci, who has no intention of listening to her pitch. So with the queen’s help, Zoe does the only thing that will get the job done. She kidnaps him.

But the joke’s on her when the queen’s matchmaking strands Zoe and the prince on the royal family’s secluded island. Zoe vows not to mix business with pleasure—and prove that she’s more than a spoiled rich girl who bought her way to success—but when the prince turns up the heat, the chemistry between them ignites. Is it just sizzling sex, or could an Italian prince with a tragic past fall for a take-no-prisoners American?

Happy New Year! Or is it?

Sorry for being AWOL since Boxing Day.
My kidlet has had pneumonia! And I've got some weird shortness of breath that has involved chest XRays and the like, with no resolution yet. Ugh.

Hope your new year has been more fun than mine!

In other news, I have a Mills & Boon anthology BEDROOM SEDUCTIONS out this month (a re-issue of Two Weeks in the Magnate's Bed.)

Nice cover.
