Greetings everyone! It's Sunday again, time for those kisses you all love. But today is not just any Sunday. Today Victoria Blisse is celebrating her 100th Sunday Snog (it's my 94th!) with a bit of a blog hop, and I'm celebrating too!
Every single participating author is giving away a prize. Here at Beyond Romance, you can win a $10 bookstore gift certificate, just by leaving a comment with your email address. Visit Snog Central (http://blissekiss.co.uk) for links to lots more authors with prizes (and kisses) for you to savor.
However, our Hundreth Snog Hop isn't just about lip locks and swag. Kisses are for sharing, and we're trying to do our part. Our chosen charity for this event is one of my favorites, Medecins Sans Frontieres. (In fact, I edited a book entirely to benefit MSF. You might consider picking up a copy...!) So after you've left your comment, why not go over to our page at Just Giving (http://www.justgiving.com/sundaysnog) and make a donation. Even the smallest amount is welcome.
To encourage you - I will also give $1 to MSF for every comment I receive on this post.
Tell your friends! The hop runs until the 27th of September, and you've got dozens of chances to win.
For my snog today, I've got a snippet from my paranormal erotic romance Rough Weather. It won't be out until 2014, but that's no reason not to enjoy a bit of it now!

Destiny
hides in the tempest’s heart
Ondine
has always felt at home in the sea. Orphaned at birth and raised by
her grandmother on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, she has never
really questioned her extraordinary affinity for the watery world.
She concentrates on her work as a marine biologist, spends her
weekends relaxing among the waves, and worries about human threats to
her beloved ocean environment. Fears of a deadly pregnancy like her
mother’s make her cautious about sex.
When
she encounters an attractive but arrogant engineer on her private
beach, surveying the site for a prospective off-shore wind farm,
anger is her first reaction. A casual touch, however, transforms that
emotion to incomprehensible, irresistible, terrifying lust.
Ebony-skinned
Marut has his own talents – aside from his uncanny ability to swamp
Ondine with desire. He can control the winds and summon storms. He
informs Ondine that they share a supernatural heritage and claims she
is his destined mate. She responds with scepticism and tries to
resist the charismatic Haitian, but ultimately her scientist’s
training won’t permit her to deny the evidence of her senses –
and her heart. As a brutal northeaster batters the island and Marut’s
life hangs in the balance, Ondine learns that true power lies in
surrender to her elemental nature.
The
sun beat down, hotter than ever. Sweat gathered under her arms and at
the back of her neck. Ignoring the proffered permit, she planted her
fists on her hips and summoned eve
ry ounce of authority she could
muster.
“This
beach is private, reserved for Katama residents. What’s your
business here?”
Stuffing
the permit back into his tight pants, he sank into a crouch to pick
up a piece of equipment that he had propped against a rock, next to a
two meter steel pole. His thigh muscles flexed against taut denim as
he rose. Her mouth felt dry and her pussy, wet. “I’m installing a
temporary meteo-hydrographic monitoring station.” The device
bristled with lenses, buttons and dials, the pinwheel of an
anemometer, the tongue-like extrusion of a rain gauge. “Come on up,
take a look.”
“Just
a minute.” She stepped into her shorts, then pulled her shirt over
her head, trying to ignore the sensation of fleece brushing across
her naked breasts. In her bare feet, she clambered up over the
knobby, rust-coloured stone until she stood beside him. He towered
over her. She caught a whiff of sandalwood and coconut oil and was
washed by sudden desire.
He
pointed to a white plastic rectangle. “This is the hygrometer –
the humidity sensor.”
“Yes,
yes, I understand. You’ve got a laser ceilometer for cloud height,
I see, and an infrared camera for thermal imaging...”
“What...?”
She found his surprise gratifying, as he realised she wasn’t just a
naked, blonde beach bunny.
“I’m
a marine biologist. We use similar devices in my lab at Woods Hole.
But Vineyard Airport has a full suite of weather instrumentation. Why
are you installing this system here?”
“I’m working on the design for an
offshore wind farm.”
“Wind
mills?” Her indignation returned, blasting through her with
hurricane fury. “Those spell death for sea birds!”
“We’re doing research...”
“And
the awful, endless hum disorients cetaceans. They swim in circles
until they starve to death!” She snatched the apparatus and held it
above her head, threatening to smash it upon the rocks.
“Don’t!
Please!” Seizing both her wrists in one massive hand, he pried the
delicate gadget from her clutches with the other.
She
did not fight him. Because when he touched her, her anger fled as
quickly as it had arisen, to be replaced by irresistible, irrational
lust. Her pussy was instantly molten. Her clit pulsed between her
thighs. Electricity zipped along her limbs. Her modest breasts felt
huge and heavy, aching for contact.
The
stranger’s eyes grew wide. Sweat beaded his forehead. She dropped
her eyes to his crotch. A visible bulk distended the fabric there,
evidence that he shared her reactions.
Without
releasing her, he placed the weather station upon an outcrop, then
dragged her into a rough embrace. Their lips mashed together as they
grappled, tearing at one another’s clothing in a desperate quest
for bare skin. The rusty taste of blood flooded her mouth – she’d
bitten her own lip in her hunger for him. His flavour was spicy with
a burnt edge, like an autumn breeze. His brazen tongue mirrored the
frantic dance of his hands on her flesh.
She
wormed her hands into his trousers so she could grip the smooth,
solid curve of his buttocks. The muscles tightened and shifted under
her palms as he ground his hardness against her. Her shorts hung
loose on her hips. He dragged them down to her knees and plunged his
fingers into her drenched cunt, smothering her moan of delight with
another fierce kiss.
