The Month of Love
We've fun this Valentine's month featuring some great authors along the way. I hope you enjoyed it.
Another bonus this month for me was the first of my first labor of book love: Dream Man, a contemporary romance part of The Executive Women in Love series published with Soul Mate Publishing.
Click on the Dream Man picture at the right of my blog for information about the book and pre-sale information.
Now for today's guest author. Book Fun Friday is proud to present Mackenzie Lucas with her hot hot hot anthology book!
Author Bio:
Mackenzie
Lucas writes sexy contemporary, paranormal, and erotic romance novels and
novellas. No matter if her characters are wielding magic or not, they’re sure
to face trials by fire, fight unspeakable villainy, and confront their own
fears and flaws all in the pursuit of true love. When she’s not pursuing her
writing career, Mackenzie can be found reading, because long before she was a
writer, she was a voracious romance reader. Some things never change.

Title
of Book:
Hot Encounters anthology, Mackenzie Lucas’s erotic romance novella is The Dom
of My Heart.
Log Line: Losing
control never felt so right.
Book
Blurb:
Joely Cavanaugh learned a long time ago
to stand up for herself, but when Gabriel Burnes, a true dominant who is
powerful and sexy as hell, shows her kindness by hiring her after false
accusations by her former boss, she can’t resist him. She agrees to work as his
executive assistant to become an integral part of his revenge plot against the
one man who has wronged her. Only when Gabe pushes her beyond all control does
she realize that her heart is already totally his and that there are worse
fates then submitting to a Dom.
Excerpt:
“I
didn’t do the things he says I did,” I whispered. I didn’t hold out much hope
this powerful man would believe me, not after Ted had called him.
Gabriel
Burnes didn’t turn around to face me. “What would you say, Miss Cavanaugh, if I
told you I didn’t care one way or the other?”
“I’d say
you were a liar, sir. All men care.”
“Touché.”
He swiveled around slowly to face me. A corner of his mouth lifted in a quirk
of a smile and his brow arched elegantly as he studied me.
I was
sucker-punched by the absolute beauty of the man sitting in front of me. Dark
hair, whiskey-gold eyes rimmed in vibrant green, and slight scruffy stubble
shadowing his strong jaw and hollowed out cheeks. He cocked his head sideways,
assessing me without saying a word, like he couldn’t quite figure out a complex
puzzle. His lush rose-colored mouth pressed in a firm line. “Looks like you
need a protector, Ms. Cavanaugh. And I’m just the man for the job. If there’s
one thing I abhor, it’s bullying. And Ted Randall is a goddamned bully.”
