I did an interview for I Do Not Want To Wait, I Want The Book Now, and they’re giving away the first book in my Unbelievable series, If You Believe, since the second book, Believe in Me, came out this week. Go win some stuff!

Or, I guess, “we placed, we placed!” would be more accurate. Anne Cain made me a fabulous cover for It’s Raining Men, which I entered in the Houston RWA “Judge a Book By It’s Cover” Contest and we placed third in the sexiest cover category. The only ebook cover, too.

Here’s the rankings.

I grabbed four winners for my Win It Before You Can Buy It contest, two for the print book and two for the e-book. Thanks to all who entered, congrats to all the winners!

Under the Covers:

Cari Quinn
Danielle Yockman

If You Believe:

Chandra Ryan
Barbara Elness

So, today, I’m throwing a Win It Before You Can Buy It contest. Why? Because I have new books coming out. Two of them, in fact. One ebook from Samhain and one print anthology from Kensington. I have my author copies of both and thought, why not give some away?

If You Believe (eBook, Samhain Publishing)

When it comes to her love life, the name of Aubrey Mathison’s coffee shop says it all: “Bean There, Done That”. There’s only one harmless man in her life right now—the homeless one parked outside the shop. Except the crazy things he says keep coming true.

She has to laugh at “You’ll meet your soul mate today”, though. Divorce taught her that men as gorgeous as sexy police chief Price Delacroix are not to be trusted. She’s totally up for a one-night stand, but more than that? No, thanks.

Price bears his own scars from the past, but he knows instantly that Aubrey is his. How to convince her he wants more than to be her personal jungle gym? Cut her off. That means no more mattress gymnastics—until she starts seeing things his way.

Aubrey is just as determined Price’s campaign to wear down her resistance is going to fail, no matter how wickedly determined he is. Until her resident prophet spouts a new prediction: her soul mate’s life is in danger…

“Naughty or Nice” in Under the Covers (print anthology, Kensington Aphrodisia)

Dayna Sharp has the perfect job, the perfect man…the perfect life. So why is the prospect of marrying Mr. Wonderful so perfectly boring? It’s a question Dayna can’t shake when she brings her fiance home to meet her spectacularly un-boring family–and finds herself pursued by a bad-boy bearing gifts that could burn a hole in more than her Christmas stocking…

As always, I like to make it easy on you. Just comment on my post and tell me which one you’d like to win–or tell me you’re not picky and would take either to go in both pools. I’ll draw a few random winners from the comments and will announce winners Monday afternoon.

Just a reminder that I’ll be chatting for an hour on the Joyfully Reviewed Yahoo Loop today (Thursday, June 18) from 9-10 pm EST.
