Lesbian Romances
I’ve always been fascinated by the way in which women in the past, when they had no legal rights at all, but were merely the property of, first, their father, then later, their husband, managed to rearrange the world to find their own happiness.
I greatly respect women like Queen Elizabeth I of England, who ruled a powerful and influential nation, such that the known world was in awe of her, in an era when women had no rights at all. She did it with wit, intelligence, and a cunning ability to keep everyone at her beck and call.
I’m also a huge Georgette Heyer fan, and love the Regency era, so it was only to be expected that sooner or later I’d write a lesbian romance, set in the Regency time period. And of course the women work out how to be happy. It just takes time and effort.
I also write contemporary lesbian romances. The challenges are different today, but the path to true love seldom runs straight and smooth.
“Loving Lydia”, out now at Breathless Press, has been described by several reviewers as the perfect book to
“Loving Lydia” Blurb-read for people wanting to experiment with lesbian fiction. Once you taste some girl on girl action, you’ll be sure to want more. After all, who knows exactly what a lady likes, better than another woman.
Tammy’s sights are set and goals targeted. With one thing on her mind – Lydia – she will stop at nothing to satisfy every craving her body has for the seductive female, including showing up at the same gym for a chance encounter.
Lydia’s career is in her pocket. Successful, motivated, and driven, Lydia realizes she wants more out of life than just her job. Aware of Tammy’s intentions, Lydia decides to play along, at least until a cup of steaming hot coffee turns into a passionate night. Can she split her life between her career and Tammy?
Will Tammy be able to quench her thirst for Lydia with one night of hot sex, or will she be left wanting more?
“Loving Lydia” Excerpt-
Tammy’s heart clenched at the succulent picture Lydia made, her soft golden-blonde hair looking very pretty against the bright yellow shirt. She gulped.
“Sounds good.” She dragged in another deep breath. “Meet you at the coffee shop across the street in, say, half an hour then?”
“Yeah, that’ll be good.” Lydia slid her cell phone back into her pocket and increased the speed of her bike.
Tammy tried to concentrate on her own work-out, but her eyes slid over to the delicious picture her neighbor made, with just the slightest sheen of sweat on her face, her legs pumping the bike pedals.
Her face will look just like that as we make love—that glow of perspiration, the smile in her eyes. But her attention will be focused on me as I bring her to one orgasm after another. I wonder if her pussy is bare or if she has blonde curls for me to run my fingers through as I search out her clit to stroke it. Her skin is fair and soft. I bet her nipples will be pink rather than brown. But in my mouth, they’ll soon turn hard and red as I suck her closer and closer to exploding. And then I’ll—
Tammy brought her mind back to the present as cream dripped from her cunt, dampening her panties. Lucky I was planning to have a shower and change my underwear!
Tammy watched as Lydia slid off her bike, smiled at her, and wandered over to the weights to do the next part of her program. She’d first noticed Lydia a couple of months ago, and the attraction had been instant and all-consuming. Lydia was very organized and followed a routine. Unlike Lydia, Tammy didn’t have a set program. She just did whatever she felt like and right now what she wanted to do was watch Lydia, so she stayed on the bike.
Because Tammy didn’t have a set program, it was easy for her to come to the gym a couple of times a week when she knew Lydia would be there, hoping she could get to know her better.
And the more she learned about the woman, the more she ached to hold her in her arms and make love to her. And now, finally, they were going to have a coffee together. Awesome!

How much teasing does it take
to make you Breathless?
Tease Me Once
Men like this were never interested in her, yet there was no mistaking the sexual awareness in those ever-darkening eyes as his gaze roamed freely over her body, settling on her embarrassingly erect nipples, straining against the thin silk sheet she clutched in trembling fingers.
This cannot be happening! She never reacted like this to any man, least of all a perfect stranger.
“You must be hungry, after last night.” His deep, slightly accented voice washed over her, making her nerve endings tingle and bringing a fresh wave of moisture between her thighs, leaving her in no doubt of what her body wanted.
“Last night? Nothing happened last night.”

Tease Me Twice
Harlan’s Ryde by Havan Fellows
“What I’m trying to say is, I love you, Ryder. I want us to have a long, happy life together and I think we should start that life by finding an apartment of our own.”
Harlan sighed with relief that he actually got through his spiel without making an ass out of himself and smiled at Ryder. For all the doubts he had about himself, this he didn’t doubt. He knew in his heart how Ryder felt.
Seconds turned to minutes and his smile froze on his face. Why wasn’t Ryder professing his own love in return? He watched as the light left Ryder’s eyes, as the smile faded. What did he say wrong? Ryder loved him, he knew it, he just knew it.

Tease Me Thrice
She blew her bangs out of her face with a frustrated breath and shook her head. “You need to get back out there. Plastic toys are no substitute for human contact.”
I grinned. “They’re not plastic.”
She rolled her eyes. “You miss my point.”
“No, I ignored it. I’m not ready to deal with a man yet.”
“Then you should be with a woman.”
I choked on my tequila shot. My eyes watered as it burned down my throat.
When I stopped coughing, she asked, “What is so funny?”
“I’m straight. In other words: I heart cock.”
Strapless

Blurb:
Suffering from heartache over her broken engagement, Nadia has sworn off men. Elisheba, who has been a confidant throughout the break up, has always stood by Nadia—but Elisheba has more on her mind than friendship.

She blew her bangs out of her face with a frustrated breath and shook her head. “You need to get back out there. Plastic toys are no substitute for human contact.”
I grinned. “They’re not plastic.”
She rolled her eyes. “You miss my point.”
“No, I ignored it. I’m not ready to deal with a man yet.”

I choked on my tequila shot. My eyes watered as it burned down my throat.
When I stopped coughing, she asked, “What is so funny?”
“I’m straight. In other words: I heart cock.”
It was her turn to choke on her drink. “I’m going to have that put on a T-shirt for you, and I’m going to force you to wear it.”
“I don’t swing that way. And I don’t know anyone who does.”
Her brown eyes sparkled with mischief. “Occasionally, I do.” She brushed the back of her soft hand down my cheek. “For you I would. You have soft, expressive eyes and a body with curves in all the right places.”
I could feel the flush creeping into my cheeks. Thomas had never given me such a compliment. A little thrill of excitement curled through my belly. I cleared my throat and sat back in my chair. I wasn’t really surprised that she was bisexual. She was the kind of beauty that made everybody’s head turn. Her laughter would make guys cross the bar to talk to her.
But she was hitting on me? This was new territory. Now how to solve this tactfully so I still had a friend in the morning…

About the Author:
I write paranormal romance. My first book is coming out with Red Rose Publishing on December 17, 2009. I live in Texas.
I like writing, reading, travel. If I chose any other career I’d be bellydancer. I love Korean food, but alas, the good stuff is all the way in Dallas. Korean food will be featured in my book, if that scene isn’t cut for some reason. And sushi. Actually I’d really like some sushi right now. I have a sick obession with coffee. Drink it, snort it, shoot it. I’ll take it anyway I can. I’ve also got this weird thing about office supplies. I love office supplies, and I think I need everything I see. I love ancient history, and I’ve got a lot of books dedicated to the subject.
I read what I write, so a lot of paranormal romance. I like Laurell K. Hamilton, Sherrilyon Kenyon, Lora Leigh, Maggie Shayne, Charlaine Harris. I’m into a lot of erotic science fiction lately by Angela Knight and Morgan Hawke. Shattered Mirror by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is one of my favorite books. It’s paranormal YA.
Since I’m Daddy’s little girl I like a lot of action movies. Die Hard, The Rock, ConAir, and I was raised on Terminator. we’ve got me on tape yelling at the characters to run as the Terminator comes after them. I must have been like three. And, no, it never gave me nightmares. I love comedy, too. That 70’s Show is a favorite. While most people consider Girlmor Girls drama, I don’t. It’s one of the funniest shows out there. I also like sci-fi. Star Trek, Stargate, and I strongly believe that they never should have canceled Firefly. And no, you don’t have to be a Trekkie to enjoy Star Trek. For some reason everyone thinks that. It’s a quality show, and I like things that are good.
My food can’t touch on my plate. I take great pains to make sure it doesn’t. So if you ever have dinner with me or see me at a buffet and I’m cursing quietly as my food slides together, you know why. And yes, I know there’s medication for that. I like to eat the frosting off cake before I eat the cake part.
