Today, I’ll be blogging at Access Romance and talking about the conference I’m flying to today. The contest is still ongoing. Don’t miss a chance for another entry. Remember, one lucky winner will get a box full of conference goodies!

Just a reminder! The Unleashing the Tiger contest starts today! See details in yesterday’s post!

I’ll be blogging today at After Midnight Fantasies. Be sure to stop by to say hello and earn your first chance at that prize!

If you wonder where I’ve been, well it’s been a little nuts around the Devlin house lately.

Dad’s out of the hospital at last. He’s home and recuperating, so thanks for all the good wishes!

I finished revisions of the fourth Dark Realm story and shipped it, and have been doodling with new ideas ever since. I can’t seem to land on just one, so I’m letting my brain jump around and just taking notes—maybe something useful will come out of all these unfocused thoughts.

Two big things happening this week. First, I have a new release coming on Friday. Click on the picture if you’d like to read more about it. I’ll post a couple of excerpts this week to whet your appetites!

Oh, and that second big thing? I’m heading to the Romantic Times Convention on Tuesday morning. Can’t wait!!

As for that contest…I always come back with tons of swag (books, promo items) from conference. I’ll send a box of stuff to one lucky winner. All you have to do to enter is post a comment on this blog anytime between April 20th and 26th!

I’ll be blogging with the Bradford Bunch today and would love to see some familiar faces! I’m offering a prize, so be sure to scoot over there!

I have two winners to announce!

First, the winner of Michelle Pillow’s download is…Lynda!

Also, I promised a signed ARC of Obsessed to one of the readers who joined me at the Scribes Unleashed chat Wednesday night. That winner is…Maggie!

Winners, congratulations! Be sure to send me an email to let me know where you’d like your prizes delivered! I promise to get on it as soon as I get back from Louisiana.

***I fell asleep last night and didn’t post the winner! It’s Nichole—and she wins two autographed copies of any of my pre-2009 print books, so long as I have a copy on hand! So Nichole, email me and let me know your choices!***

Here we are at the last day before the book ships. What can I tell you that you don’t already know?

You know the stories will be uber-sexy. You know the heroes are incredibly handsome, strong, and stubborn—and they include a cowboy and two deputies. The heroines run the gamut from bar owner to spoiled hellion to staid schoolteacher. All three stories are about sexual discovery and staking claims.

All three stories are set in Honkytonk once again—my fictional town that’s a hybrid of Boerne, Luchenbach, and Devine, Texas (real places). And you know that I know the people I’m writing about—how they talk and act and fight. Texas is as close to a home as I’ve ever had. I absorbed the place through my skin and still miss it every day.

So, I think I’ve done my job. Tomorrow is release day and I hope I’ve tempted you to run to the store and buy it! If not, here’s one last tease…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Logan woke, feeling chilled. Amy had left his bed. For a moment, he froze, wondering if she’d left without saying a word, and if he’d blown it.

He’d wanted to romance her. Bring her along slowly. Build her need for his touch in gradual levels until she was ready for him to begin to introduce her to the lifestyle he felt instinctively she was made for.

Instead, he’d pounded her like a high school kid who’d gotten his first taste of pussy and couldn’t control the hormones raging through him.

[Psst! Remember to comment! Tonight, I’ll post the name of the second winner right here! The prize will be two autographed books!]

Thanks for coming along for the wild ride this week! It’s nice to have company while I bite my nails and wait for a book to hit the shelves.

Just as an aside, this morning I’ll be playing at Ellora’s Cave Chat Loop—posting sexy excerpts, talking about my upcoming books (Lockdown and Unleashing the Tiger), and giving away prizes.

So, I’m down to just two days on this countdown. So far, I’ve been seducing you with snippets from the book. Today, I’m going to remind you about the previous set of stories so many of you enjoyed. If you like the series and want them to continue, you have to let the publisher know. And the only way to do that is…you got it—BUY IT! Tell your friends about this hot and sexy little town in Texas, called Honkytonk.

Mac McDonough’s body ached with the need to sink into soft, wet woman.

An escape, no matter how brief, from the constant, throbbing in his shattered leg.

Like an answer to his prayer, a familiar SUV crawled up the rough gravel road. His body tightened. Tara Toomey had offered the last time she paid him a visit, for old time’s sake, but he’d turned her down because he’d still had just enough pride and just enough affection for his old friend not to want to use her like that.

Today, she wouldn’t make it past the door. The thought of her blond flyaway curls wrapped around his dick made him throb with anticipation.
