Also, leave a comment here on the blog. I will draw a winner tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. and post the winner back in this post.

The winner will receive a copy of my recently released book from Elloras’s Cave, Phoenix Kiss and a $5.00 gift certificate to Barnes & Noble.

Layla Martin makes her living exposing all the wicked little secrets of the rich and famous. Exposing Jordan Gaines, the mysterious millionaire, is exactly the break she needs.

Jordan has spent his entire life protecting a dark secret—he’s a phoenix shapeshifter, one of the last of his kind. When he finds Layla hiding in his home after he shifts, he offers her a deal—he won’t call the police if she spends one night in his bed.

Layla believes she’s stumbled onto the story of a lifetime. Jordan thinks sleeping with Layla will discredit any exposé she plans to write. Neither expects the hours of unrelenting, primitive passion, the fast bond that forms between them or their fierce desire to keep the night from coming to an end.

Six-year-old Kennadi has a very special gift for her mom on Valentine’s Day: a gift of chocolate.

When Officer Allen Hughes escorts a little girl back to her mother after she buys a special Valentine’s Day present, he never expected his act of chivalry would send cupid’s arrow shooting straight to his heart.

Divorced mother Sabrina Miller is terrified when her daughter turns up missing from her after-school art program. But when a twist of magic brings her face to face with the cop who returns her, she suddenly begins to believe in love and second chances.

UPDATE!!!! – The Valentine’s Day Blog Hop Winner for day 1 is Ducky Welborne! Ducky joined my Facebook page AND commented on a recent post. The winner was chosen using Super Teacher Tools random name generator.

I am currently reading Explosive Eighteen of this wonderfully funny series. I absolutely love it. How can I not? You have mystery, suspense, laughs, a woman in the middle of two hot guys (ok…not that way) who may or may not love her, sex, and a kick-ass side-kick. I also saw the movie!

If you haven’t picked up this series, try it out.

Peace, love and sex!
