2 Days/2 Reasons to buy it now!
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

[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.

3 Days/3 Reasons to buy it now!
Saturday, February 21st, 2009

It’s been busy here in the Devlin house. Didn’t know if I mentioned it, but last week I completed a proposal (50 pages) for a new book and shipped it out. It was a contemporary Western. Then I got inspired and started another this week—a jungle theme story. It came so fast, I finished it yesterday and sent it to my agent (3 chapters, anyway). Cross your fingers someone loves them!

I’ll be in Little Rock all day today. Will check the loop and this blog when I get home. You all have a great day, and I hope this excerpt inspires you today!

Cody stroked upward again, trying to thrust deep into her mouth, but she backed away, not letting him sink inside her. Instead, she continued to lick the cap and began to softly chew with her teeth buffered by her lips.

“Jesus, Tara,” he moaned.

She liked the edge of desperation in his tone and the deep growl that followed. But she wasn’t nearly done.

4 Days/4 Reasons to buy it now!
Friday, February 20th, 2009

Did I mention there’s some very nasty sex in this book? Well there is, but that’s not what this scene is about. It’s also funny and tender—in places. ~DD

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

Logan answered the phone on the fourth ring, having rushed straight from the shower. Water ran off his skin and hair in rivulets, dripping on the carpet. “Ross here,” he barked, irritated because he’d recognized the number on his Caller ID.

“I know you’re off duty,” the dispatcher, Nancy Sessions, said, “but we’re sending you on a call.”

Logan heard snickering in the background and nearly hung up the phone in her ear. He’d been teased mercilessly when he’d let slip about his date that day at work. Seemed his buddies thought the match a bit odd.

“Since you know I have plans for tonight,” he gritted out, “why the hell are you calling me?”

“Um…” She broke off, and more muffled snickers sounded on the line. “We’re short-handed…besides we knew you’d want to handle this one…p-personally.” The last word sounded as though it had been squeezed through an accordion she was laughing so hard.

6 Days/6 Reasons to buy it now!
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009


My heroes are the first and most important reasons you should buy this book now! And I hope I’ve provided enough of a tease to convince you. If not, let me try again.

You’ve already met Cody and Joe—and you’ve had a glimpse of Logan—but wouldn’t you like a much closer look?

Beware, this excerpt might be too hot for work!

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

Night Watch

Schoolteacher Amy Keating never planned to be a voyeur, but one innocent glance into deputy Logan Ross’s bedroom window has her hooked. Now she’s into a world of sexual play she never knew existed…

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

She raised the lens cap dangling on a string to cover the end of the telescope, then glanced back inside the room.

Logan had returned.

Her hand paused mid-air, the lens cap falling from numb fingertips. He was still completely nude, and pacing the room like a caged tiger.

Everything about him oozed frustration. From the jerky, heavy movements of his naturally graceful body to the erection that hadn’t waned.

He disappeared for a moment, and then stepped into her view again, straps dangling from his fingers.

7 Days/7 Reasons to buy it now!
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Psst! Be sure to post to qualify for one of three great prizes.
See the bottom of this post for details!

Yesterday at After Midnight Fantasies, I introduced you to the first yummy hero in this anthology, Cody Westhofen. Today, let’s visit with Deputy Sheriff Joe Chavez.

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

Welcome to Honkytonk, the hottest town in Texas—thanks to its adventurous women, irresistible men, and sizzling sex…

Bound and Determined
Bar owner Tara Toomey is in the mood to serve bad boy Cody Westhofen more than a drink. What better way to capture his attention—and more—than to kidnap him for a wanton weekend? Tied to Tara’s bed, Cody is more than willing to cooperate…

Breezy Ridin’
When Joe Chavez and a sheriff’s deputy pull over a speeding motorcycle, it’s no surprise the county judge’s naughty daughter Sarah Michelson is behind the wheel—naked. And when she bribes them with a threesome, all laws are suspended as the men prepare for the ride of their lives…

Night Watch
Schoolteacher Amy Keating never planned to be a voyeur, but one innocent glance into deputy Logan Ross’s bedroom window has her hooked. Now she’s into a world of sexual play she never knew existed…

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

A hot breeze toyed with a strand of hair lying across her breast, but Sarah Michelson wasn’t about to flick it away now. She was already in deep shit and wondering whether she should pour on the syrup and sweet talk the two officers striding her way.

Excerpt from HotBlooded
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Tough and rough, tall and dark, these are men a woman never forgets. Experience pleasure like no other in the arms of a cowboy…

“Hot Blooded” by Delilah Devlin
Rancher Adam Youngblood is always happy to help a damsel in distress. But before he’ll pull the sweetly curvaceous and fiercely independent Cass McIntyre to safety, he demands promises of unconditional sexual surrender…

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

Sunlight broke through the clouds by mid-afternoon. Although the rain had stopped an hour before, chaos still reigned in the park as the rivers continued to rise. All the low water crossings were impassible. Climbers and hikers all along the trails had been stranded. When the Canyon Volunteer Fire Department called the ranch, Adam Youngblood bit back a curse.

The last place he wanted to be today was anywhere near the park and one particular little park ranger. But he headed straight for the headquarters building near the entrance of the park where the rangers had organized search parties to rescue stranded campers and hikers.

Mavis Benson who manned the information desk sidled close to him with a clipboard in her hands. “Adam,” she said hesitantly.

“What do you need, sweetheart?”

“We have a situation.”

He glanced at the organized chaos around him and nodded his head. “We certainly do.”

She pulled at his shirtsleeve and tilted her clipboard toward him. “Cass—Fortress Cliff—0800” was scribbled in purple ink. “She hasn’t checked back in.”

Adam didn’t want to care. In fact, he hated the way his belly knotted at that piece of news. “Have you sent anyone to check it out?”

1 last day of Jane…multiple moving parts
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

***The winner of the last prize package is…Teresa W! Congratulations! Email me and let me know what email addy you want your Amazon gift certificate and your free copy of JANE sent! The rest of y’all are just going to have to hit EC tomorrow to get your fix!***

Do you think you can stand one last tease without reaching through the computer to strangle me? No? Well, that’s too damn bad. This is kinda fun prolonging your agony.

Do you know, before I wrote my first menage, I worried about whether I could do it. I mean, there’s all those moving body parts to keep track of, and a good love scene has to work like a well-lubricated engine—humming powerfully along. I think I’ve got the hang of it at last. 😉

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

The men began moving in tandem, Bruno sliding out as Cord thrust in, then coming back as Cord withdrew. The motions were gentle, restrained—the two masculine frames pressed so close she could feel their tension radiating through her.

They built her arousal slowly until she began to writhe between them, her thigh clasping Cord’s hip tighter, her breaths growing deeper, rasping loudly. She pressed her face into the corner of his shoulder. “I need more,” she whispered. “Harder, deeper…please.”

Low, sexy laughter surrounded her, and Jane smiled against Cord’s damp skin. Their thrusts quickened, sharpened, deepening until she bit her lips to still the groans that clawed at the back of her throat to slip out.

“It’s okay,” Bruno rasped. “Let go, baby. Sweet fuck, you’re so goddamn tight.” His thrusts quickened, out of synch now with Cord’s.

Cord’s fingers combed through her hair, tugging to tilt back her head. His kiss was hard, but not nearly as fierce as the thrusts he delivered, his cock stroking deep, his whole body tensing, the muscles of his back, abs and thighs turning to hot stone against her as he powered into her.

I know, much too short. Wahaha! (That’s my maniacal laugh.)
