Mountain Men Brothers Dupree
A Sensual Erotic Trilogy
Gunnery
Sergeant Emmett Dupree has one final mission—get home before Christmas and
return to civilian life with his beautiful wife. His family believes he’s
missing in Afghanistan. A snowstorm destroys all forms of communication with
his hometown in the mountains of Montana. Knowing his wife and family worry
about his fate has him scrambling stateside via any means possible.
When
her husband goes missing, Violet tries her best to keep the faith. But the bed
is way too big and cold without her man. He’s given twenty years to the Corps.
Now it’s time for them to concentrate on building a life and a family in their
dream cabin. Sitting on their wraparound porch, she spots a shooting star and
makes a wish.
There’s
no snow deep enough to keep this determined Marine from the arms of the woman
he left behind.
Cash’s Cherry
When Cherry Adams
disappears while taking an EMT call, it’s up to Cash Dupree and his
search-and-rescue dog, Max, to find her, bring her home safe and show her how
much she means to him. She makes him hot, hard and wanting more.
Several months ago,
he made a terrible mistake. He snuck out, leaving her sleeping in a hotel room
after the best night of sex in his life. Regret consumes him. Desire for her
keeps his emotions in turmoil until he faces the truth of his heart.
He’s not going to
make the same mistake twice.
First, he has to
find her.
Cherry’s Passion
Cash
and Cherry have it all. Passion. Love. Family. A December wedding planned. The
week before their big day, the woman Cherry fears is Cash’s kryptonite breezes
into town, laying claim on him.
Days
before the wedding, Cash is abducted. After the ransom is dropped, Cherry
receives a sex video with clues to his location. She knows where he’s being
held. What the kidnappers don’t know: no one messes with her man. She’s got to
save him before they go too far.
Thank you,

Update & T-shirt campaign
TARA NINA'S NEWS
Hello to all the
members of my newsletter!
It’s been a long time
since I’ve created a newsletter. With the changes in the publishing industry
being as they are, I’ve been a bit discouraged with writing, with being an
author. I’ve been in a funk, not following my dreams. My muse has been on
hiatus, replaced by wine, books
and chocolate.
In my teens, I spent
hours daydreaming and writing those dreams in a notebook as mini-stories. As I
grew older, I stopped creating stories, went to college for something else
entirely, got married, had kids and built a family. But the dream always
remained.
I wanted to be a
published novelist. In 2005, that dream became a reality. I got lucky when a
small press loved the first book of the Cursed MacKinnons series. For those who
aren’t familiar with it, it’s about seven brothers turned to stone in 1740
Scotland, who are being set free from the curse in today’s time by the women of
their destinies. It’s been an awesome series to create. Love those sexy
Scottish Lairds. It took six books to save those seven brothers and almost ten
years to acquire this feat. It was love, tears and turmoil the whole way.
I’m hopeful their
journey will continue. Aunt May wants her story told and it’s in the works. I
promise to make this happen somehow for those, who have kindly emailed
requesting it.
Over the past year, my
career has taken a different path. I’ve not written a full-length novel in
months. I’ve managed to produce two short stories, both of which were published
by another small press. Breath of Luck was included
in a special edition for the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention in Las Vegas
earlier this year. Lake Chariot is being included in an upcoming
horror anthology “Never Fear the Tarot”
TBR sometime in November 2016. At
the moment, the cover isn’t available.
I’m forever grateful
to all the readers, who enjoy my creations. I simply request patience. There
will be more in the future.
The following is a tee
shirt that expresses exactly what’s been keeping me going. I think it’s
appropriate for all us Book Lovers!

Cross-posting Warwick Valley Romance Authors blog post! Enjoy!
What the four seasons mean to me.
Each has its good points and bad.
Spring brings flowers & Butterflies.
Summer provides us hot days and sunshine.
Not sure where the summer went this year. We ended ours with a vacation to Tybee Island, Georgia and spent some much needed time with my Dad.
Fall is pumpkin spice lattes, wine, apple picking and cool nights.
These two are trouble. Rake the leaves and they will jump in the pile every time.
Winter equals snuggle weather, fires in the fireplace, and snow.
First snow is always pretty. By the third or fourth go round, not so much.
All the pictures I've posted are mine to share. I enjoy all four seasons. As I sit here with my first pumpkin spice coffee of the day, I'm doing my best to write this blog and come up with something worthy that someone else would want to read. As an author, I've found that it's difficult to write on occasion. Inspiration is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Sometimes its a struggle. So please forgive me if today, I'm not too interesting. My writing partner tries to help, but doesn't seem to understand the concept of personal space.
I'm sharing a snippet of a short story titled: Lake Chariot, which has a TBR for (hopefully) November 2016. At the moment, I'm still waiting for the cover from the publisher. This story will be included in the "Fear the Tarot" anthology from 13Thirty Books. BTW, this was my first attempt at horror. It became more of a paranormal with a twisted ghost story.
Lake Chariot
(unedited version)
Anora reread the first words she’d managed to write in over six months. With the stress of her divorce and the battle with him in court over the rights to her novels, it was refreshing to at least be in front of the computer. All that “he said, she said” scenario had torn her apart. His claim to have been instrumental in the creation of her Josie James mystery novels was ludicrous. The judge initially leaned in his favor. Thank God, her smart attorney requested proof of Tony’s knowledge of the storyline, without using any media devices to retrieve information while in court. When he couldn’t give basic particulars concerning the characters, titles, or plots of any of the thirty-six best sellers in that series, the judge was forced to reconsider.
Since there was no prenup, the ass was awarded a decent chunk of her money as reimbursement of all the years he’d worked to support her writing “hobby”. If the judge had known the amount of verbal abuse, the lies, and the humiliation she’d suffered in silence… It didn’t matter. It was over. It wouldn’t have made a difference in the judge’s decision. He was a man and men stuck together. Tony hadn’t been a controlling, manipulative monster when they met, but he turned into one the instant she created a formidable name for herself in the publishing industry. Anora kicked herself daily over that mistake made while wearing the blinders of love and stupidity.
Hobby! She snorted. The judge called her work a hobby. Her lawyer had soothed her anger by saying he was just jealous that one book alone made double the benchwarmer’s yearly salary. That still made the edge of her lips twitch into a small smile.
She leaned back, staring at the blinking cursor. Here she sat working on book number thirty-seven. Words whirled around her brain, trying to form a blockbuster start to her latest creation, but what she’d written didn’t ignite her imagination or make her fingers itch to burn up the keyboard.
“Pure crap,” she muttered under her breath. Her finger hovered over the delete key, but never landed.
She jumped as a bright flash of lightning filled the room, illuminating the shadows that had taken over. Thunder rumbled across the slate shingles of the old cabin on Lake Chariot at the same time a hand landed on her shoulder.
