Happy
Sunday!
I’ve
been busy working on marketing plans for The Gazillionaire and
the Virgin. It will be out in ebook form on the 29th
of January, and available in print about two weeks later. I’m
planning a release blitz and a blog tour, which means (of course)
lots of prizes.
And
I thought I’d kick things off today with my cover reveal. This is
another cover by the fabulous Willsin Rowe. What do you think?
Personally,
I love it! And to celebrate, I’m giving away a $5 bookstore gift
certificate. Just leave me a comment that includes your email
address, and I’ll throw your name into the metaphorical hat.
And
when you’re done here, hop over to Victoria
Blisse’s Sunday Snog page for more sexy kisses!

As
I hang up and pull into my parking space, I continue to watch Rachel,
behind me. She steers her banker-mobile into a visitor’s slot
across the road, steps out, closes the door gently and engages the
alarm. The afternoon sun turns her hair into a coppery halo. Her
beige slacks are just tight enough to remind me of her curves. Her
purple silk blouse flows loosely over the swell of her breasts. I
wonder what, if anything, she’s wearing underneath. My cock is hard
almost before I’m conscious of the thought.
God,
she’s glorious.
She
pauses, as if she realizes I’m admiring her and wants to prolong
the moment. Then she strides across the street to my car and peers in
the window. I catch a whiff of her, jasmine laced with damp pussy.
The lump in my jeans hardens further.
“Everything
all right, Theo?” There’s real concern in her voice. She cares
for you.
“Fine,
fine.” With some difficulty due to my turgid state, I extricate
myself from the vehicle. Rachel’s eyes flick to my groin, then back
to my face. She gives me a playful grin. Something inside me snaps.
All at once I don’t want to play.
I
seize her, drag her body to mine and grind my erection against her
pubis. My fingers tangled in her wild curls, I bear down on her
mouth, forcing her lips open, driving my tongue inside. I pour all my
love, uncertainty and frustration into that furious kiss.
She
melts in my arms, opens to my assault and lets me take what I crave
from her. Her surrender inflames me further. I flip her so that her
back is against the car and force my thigh into the gap between hers,
pressing upward until she’s on tiptoe. Her juices soak through her
clothing to wet mine. I tug at her hair and bite her lips, just to
hear her whimper. She doesn’t push me away, though.
Her
sweet, hot mouth clings to mine. Her nipples under the silk are round
and hard as marbles. No bra, and no panties either, I’m willing to
bet. She’s close to naked, and totally drenched, trembling on the
edge of climax. All because of me.
A
crazed sense of triumph sweeps through me. She’s mine—mine! I can
do whatever I like to her. I yank her head back so I can gaze at her
face. She gives a little yelp of pain—her eyes are luminous with
gathering tears—but still she doesn’t object. She moans, a bitch
in heat. I could rip off those designer duds and fuck her right here,
under the eyes of my neighbors.
Something
shifts between us. I read something new in her gaze, a raw yearning
that goes beyond lust. “Theo,” she murmurs, tears spilling down
her cheeks, until our kisses taste like the sea. “Oh, my darling
Theo…”
I’m
suddenly ashamed of my roughness. I release my hold on her hair to
find red-gold strands encircling my fingers, pulled out by the roots.
Her mouth looks bruised, with a smear of blood at one corner. Greasy
smudges stain her crisp linen trousers. Her blouse gapes, two buttons
torn off in my frenzy.
But
she’s smiling, serene, despite the damage.
“I’m
sorry, Rachel—I didn’t mean…”
“A
master should never apologize.”
New
desire shudders through me at the word she’s chosen.

Love the cover! It says so much, without having the usual hot models.

Love it! I'm so excited for this book!
Hello, Diane,
I wanted the cover to be ambiguous as far as the roles of the characters. I think it's perfect.
Thanks, Mary. You should see it full size. It has amazing texture that doesn't really show up in a 400x600 reduction.
Glad you like it, Deb!
Well, you are partially responsible. I don't think I would have written without your encouragement.
The cover is real inviting. It makes me want to pick up the book and check it out

Wonderful cover and a great snippet! greenshamrock at cox dot net :)
Wow. I love it. With powerball fever everywhere, the cover shows how money can be binding. I can't wait to read how Rachel will be bound to Theo and at what price.
Thank you for the wonderful contest.
