I love Amazing Race... I seriously want to be on that show...lol. I just discovered Dr. Who. I also like Stargate. I recently just got cable so I love watching Clean House.

Eros, the God of love for as long as time, is about to met his match. Every day, he receives a list with names of people he has to shoot with his bow and arrow so they'll fall in love. One day he finds himself at the house of a woman he has been making love to in his dreams named Amanda. Now the dilemma begins since this is the woman that Eros has the hots for. He decides he doesn't want to shoot her because he loves her himself nor does he want her with another man. Eros knows that she is a mortal and he is a God, so they can never be together. But he wants to find a way to break the rules and be with the woman he wants with all his heart.
Marie knows she deserves the promotion she's applied for, but thanks to her co-worker (the boss' girlfriend), she knows she'll never get it. Sitting alone at a bar the night before she learns who will actually land the job, she meets a mysterious and devilishly sexy stranger who promises that all her dreams will be fulfilled...if they make a deal.
Before the night is over, Marie signs a contract with Nate in her own blood. Nate doesn't want her soul in return for fulfilling all that she desires. He wants her body...whenever and wherever he demands.
Could Marie have made a deal with the Devil himself?
Millie is a timejumper. She never knows when or where she is going to appear next. Once she arrives at a new place it is up to her to determine where and when she is...and do her best to survive until she goes back to her current time.
This time she literally falls out of the sky. From her clothes and surroundings she thinks she is in Roman times. She meets a baker named Dante who befriends her, mistaking her as a runaway slave. Millie and Dante are immediately attracted to each other and become intimate. The next day there is an earthquake.
As Dante points to the volcano that caused the earth to move, Millie discovers she is in Pompeii...the day before the city is destroyed...
For centuries the dragon has protected the village. Each year a new woman is chosen by lottery from among the unmarried women to appease
him by mating with him. Gabriella hates the idea of being chosen, not just because she loves Jason, but because the man who is also the dragon has been lusting after her for years and she wants nothing to do with him.
Her worst fears seem to be realized when Gabriella is chosen, but she discovers something about the legends she hadn’t known. The woman born with the mark of the dragon is destined to be his forever—and she was born the mark.
Dragoness received a rating of "A" at Simply Romance Reviews!
While at a flea market, Madeline purchases an oil painting of a gorgeous man. She has no idea that when she goes to sleep, she will be transported inside the painting to meet the love of her life.
Sebastian is an artist who was cursed into the painting in the year 1400. He and Madeline fall in love when she joins him inside his prison, but each morning when she leaves, his heart breaks again.
But they soon discover that the curse may be broken, and in the most delightful way...
Nectar of the Gods now available at Total E-Bound Publishing. This is an anthology. My short story, "Possessing Poseidon" is available in the anthology AND as a stand alone.
Her secret refuses to stay in the past.
The ancient Greek god Poseidon falls in love with Beth, a woman who is on the run from her dangerous past. Beth only knows her lover as Den, and it's not until the past collides with the present will she learn the secret truth of Den and his own mysterious past.
When Caitlyn wishes to meet the man of her dreams, she has no idea her wish will take her to medieval England. She is in the armor hall at the Art Institute of Chicago when Morgan, a real live knight, appears and pulls her through time. He believes she is his one true love, and Caitlyn is quickly persuaded to believe he may be right.
But Caitlyn discovers that finding true love and adjusting to life in 1400 is much more difficult than she could have ever imagined. Will true love prevail, or will Caitlin and her knight merely be two people passing each other in time?
Until recently, I led a pretty normal life. But then I did something that kind of changed things for me: I had a one night stand with a vampire.
Things got a little carried away and he bit me, turning me into a vampire too. I guess you can say I learned the hard way that love bites, and once bitten there's no going back.
