Welcome! Today we’ve got six more sentences of my newly released paranormal erotic romance, The Fever & The Fury

She stared down at her palm to see the miracle of what he’d just done, but it wasn’t visible to the naked eye and this anguished her, because if she couldn’t see or touch or taste this kiss, how could she ever convince herself that it had actually happened? Her heart suddenly remembered itself, and the world came back in a rush of blood that roared past her ears. “But…but…I could have sent stabbing pains through you when you kissed me. Somehow, you must have known I wouldn’t do it.”

“No, Phaedra,” Luke said, meeting her eyes. “It’s just that some things are worth doing at any price.”

So, what’s the deal? Luke is a former soldier turned phoenix with the power to consume himself in flames and be born again whenever he dies. The woman of his nightmares? The ancient Fury who has been unleashed by the gods to torment him. But when Phaedra realizes that her usual methods of torture aren’t going to work on a man like Luke, she decides to drive him mad with desire… he turns the tables.

The rest is high erotic comedy

Ok, I couldn’t be more tickled about this feature story in Romantic Times Magazine’s online blog today. The article goes through each of the stories in my Mythica series and compares them to the actual mythology and then demonstrates how I twisted each story to make it a romance.

Here’s just an example:

Book Four: “Siren Song”

Greek Myth Element: Sirens. The sirens are by far some of the most enchanting creatures in Greek mythology. Seductresses capable of luring sailors to their doom with their captivating singing, these Greek creatures are some of the most famous. However, according to Greek myth, they spend most of their time on land.

Draven’s Take: The author gives sirens a contemporary spin for her fourth story in the series. Chloe is the bombshell lead singer of a popular indie band. No one has resisted her soulful crooning except for naval officer Alex, so of course that’s the one man that Chloe is interested in. However, Alex knows a secret that not even Chloe has guessed, her voice is magical and that’s why she’s become so popular. Alex recognizes that his fellow navy forces can’t help but become entranced by Chloe’s song. But can Alex explain the truth to Chloe before he falls under her spell? It’s up to him to protect his men and hopefully get the girl.

Go read the rest!

Remember when Harry met Sally? Oh, what a romantic New Years that was. I don’t have any New Years Eve memories like that one, but I do have a zany memory from my teen years. I was in that phase when kissing was still very scandalous and I wore pink perfume and coated my lips with strawberry gloss. My boyfriend was smart, cute, and a little crazy.

Very conveniently, my parents were good friends with his. So when the four grown ups decided to go out for the evening and leave the kids at home, I thought I’d spend a romantic New Years Eve with my first real boyfriend. The mistletoe was still up and everything. But the catch? We had to babysit our younger siblings. To keep them entertained…and hopefully exhaust them so that they’d give us some privacy…we decided to play a game. We needed some pencils, so I went into the basement to fetch them.

While I was down there, all hell broke loose. Apparently, my boyfriend and his little brother were horsing around, opened a side door, and splashed out into the mud. Then, with muddy shoes, they chased each other through the house, leaving huge muddy footprints all over my mother’s brand new white rugs.

I was a dead woman if my mother came home and found those stains. So I made everyone get on their hands and knees and scrub the rug clean. For hours! Our entire New Years Eve was spent with rags and buckets of water, frantically trying to erase the tell-tale signs.

Unfortunately, it was a lost cause. It left stains. My mother was furious. And I never spoke to that boy again. But I confess that the memory now makes me laugh.
