Summer Sizzlers

Would you look at that! We received our cover yesterday for the Summer Sizzlers Anthology with Whiskey Creek Press Torrid. My bud Jenna Howard and I have stories in this book, as well as eight other authors. Jenna's story picks up with the third sister, Summer, in her seasonal series.

My story is also the third in a series of four. Hot Time in the City is Brandt and Dakota's story. While each story can be read as a stand-alone, it's nice to read them in order.

The first story, Careful Wishes, is about Adelaide Langdon, one twin in a set of twins who owns the private investigation firm Friends, Incorporated. She and vice cop Donovan Miles had their differences, the big one was his inability to accept her gift of empathy with animals. Empathy that runs deeply enough to enable her to communicate with them. But a life-threatening event makes him rethink his cowardice, and a matchmaking granny and missing wiener dog help the estranged lovers along.

The second story, Chocolate-Covered Werewolves, part of the Spring Flings Anthology, tells Sydney's story. Syd is Addie's twin, and she handles some of the more unusual cases for the firm. When she was asked by a friend of her mother's to investigate Killian Murphy, she discovered he's not a vampire, as the older lady had feared. Rather, he's a sexy werewolf who makes her howl with ... well, howl. Instead of chocolate bunnies in her Easter basket, Syd's gonna get a chocolate-covered werewolf. Yum!

Now, in Hot Time in the City, we move onto the first story of the second set of twins. Brandt De Winton lost the woman he loved because of his own stubborn insistence on following the rules, even though his gut told him he was wrong. Now Dakota Jennings is back and asking for his help. He's determined to keep her this time, and she just might let him. But it's going to involve some payback and the use of his handcuffs...

Watch out for Summer Sizzlers, available July 1st at Whiskey Creek Press Torrid.
