Okay, there’s nothing desperate about my dreams. J I just like the alliterative title that plays on a couple of words in two of my book titles, which feature in this week’s post.

First, The Man of Her Dreams released this past Tuesday through Samhain Publishing. One of the novellas in the shapeshifter anthology, The Man of Her Dreams is available as a stand alone story in electronic format. The print version—called Shifting Dreams will be available in April 2010.

The other two stories in the collection are: Serengeti Heat by Vivi Andrews and Kiss and Kin by Kinsey Holley.

Here’s the blurb for The Man of Her Dreams:

Three days. One wish. If the Fairy Queen keeps her promise…

Workaholic web designer Megan Jones exudes sensible and practical by day, but in her dreams she truly lives. Her nights are filled with erotic trysts with a dream lover—who also defends her against the dangerous wild stallion of her nightmares.

When she inherits a Victorian-era Welsh locket, she opens it to a shocking revelation. The tiny portrait of a black-haired man with a sardonic smile is none other than the man in her dreams. There’s only one way to learn the truth about him—head to her ancestral home town in Wales.

A member of the ancient race of Tylwyth Teg, Owain Deverell has spent the last 170 years suspended between man and beast—punishment for loving a human woman. Weary of his cursed existence, and longing to be more than the object of Megan’s dream desire, he strikes a bargain with the Fairy Queen. In exchange for retaining his human form, she grants him three days to win Megan’s unconditional love.

Or remain the object of her nightmares. Forever.

Actually, my latest release is the second piece of good news this past week.

I’m very pleased to announce that Desperate Alliance—my futuristic erotic romance, which I affectionately dub “the Bionic woman and The Fugitive go after a traitor” is a Dream Realm Awards Finalist!

Here’s the blurb:

Hallie Clearwater is about to meet her match. He might not be cybernetically enhanced like she is, but Daniel Highcliff is one formidable man. When she collects him from prison to help her catch a traitor, even in his weakened state he possesses an aura of danger. His murder charges aren’t the half of it.

On an Earth where environmental disaster and hostile takeovers have permanently changed the lay of the land and the political climes, Hallie and Daniel must learn to trust each other. By day, they deal with a corrupt government and the rift between “pure” humans and enhanced ones. By night, they explore an even rockier terrain — the intense passion between the two of them.

The Dream Realm Awards winners will be announced mid-August. I’m not one to sit on my laurels, so I’m hard at work on my next project, but I have to admit it’s a rather challenging typing with my fingers crossed. LOL
