Miss Zoe and I have a joint release today from Red Rose Publishing



Tag and Reese have been friends forever, seeing each other through the good times and the bad, including the untimely death of Reese's lover. Until one drunken indiscretion threatens to change everything. But there is more than friendship on the line.

1st review of Hit & Run
typewriter
[info]cass1969

Thank you so much to Phyllis Rostykus who gave it 5 stars!

"Action-packed with a solid plot, fun, hot characters, and really crisp clean writing. I loved the detailed physical descriptions of everything that Seth felt and witnessed. The writing style put me right in the middle of the story. The action sequences were very clear, the developing romance between the two was very believable, and the sex was sensuous and entirely wonderful.

I really enjoyed the interactions between Dixon and Seth as well, at all levels it was a really fine read."

Blurb:

Work commitments have kept Olivia and Matthew apart for a week, which, for this very passionate couple, seems like so much more than seven short days. In spite of the fact that they are in her sister's home, in her niece's nursery, they take advantage of the empty house to re-connect.

But Matthew has a question for Olivia that could change their lives forever.

 

Excerpt:
 

Olivia laughed. "Yeah, I bet." She lifted a hand to push it through his slightly disheveled hair. "How about I finish up here and take you home for a proper welcome?"

Desire flared bright and immediate in Matthew's eyes. "Why wait?" he asked huskily, hands tightening on her rear.

Heat pooled between Olivia's legs, and she automatically tightened her thighs. "Here?" She glanced around her niece's nursery, quickly taking in the collection of stuffed animals, the rocking chair in the corner, and the fairy glade mural she'd spent the week painting on the wall opposite the crib. She turned back to Matthew. "With my sister and the baby downstairs?"

Matthew moved just far enough into the room to press Olivia back against the wall. Tilting his hips to let her feel his interest, he dipped his head and placed a teasing kiss just under her ear.

"Caitlin asked me to tell you that she's taking the baby for a walk in the park; she'll be back in about an hour." The tip of his tongue came out to flick at her earlobe.

A gasp of pleasure escaped Olivia. "A-an hour, huh?"

"Mmm-hmm…time enough for a proper welcome, don't you think?" His mouth moved from her ear, along her jaw, and stopped a mere breath from her lips. "Missed you."

Slipping her hands into his hair, Olivia sighed and pressed her lips to Matthew's in a brief, hard kiss. "Oh God, I missed you too."

When Matthew's hands moved from her backside to wrap around her waist, Olivia's bare feet touched the floor and her toes curled into the thick carpet. Matthew was holding her so tightly, kissing her so deeply, she couldn't breathe, but with his arms around her and his tongue tangling with her own, air was the last thing on her mind. She pushed at his suit coat, and Matthew dropped his arms just long enough for it to slip to the floor, all the while sucking on Olivia's tongue and biting lightly on her lips.

His warm hands came up to cup her shoulders, calloused fingers grazing her soft skin before lowering the straps of her cotton sundress. Lips trailing hot, nibbling kisses from her mouth, over her chin, down her throat. Olivia let her head fall back against the wall, exposing more of her skin to Matthew, murmuring her pleasure and need when he licked a hot line from the dip at the base of her throat to the top of her breast.

After witnessing a horrific crime, Seth is placed in a safe house until he can testify before a Grand Jury. When the safe house is compromised and the two police officers protecting him are killed, Seth is forced to go on the run. In desperate need of help, Seth turns to Dixon, the adopted son of the man who was shot. Together they try to keep Seth alive long enough to testify, which is not easy when there are two hit men who seem to have an uncanny knack of finding them.

The attraction between Seth and Dixon sizzles, but they agree that they should put their feelings on hold until the timing is better. Avoiding their new feelings for each other is just as tough as keeping Seth safe. Before he and Dixon can be sure of a future together, Seth must fight for his life in a final showdown.

Best friends suddenly finding love, a secret affair between cousins, and a buttoned-down Sheriff fighting his feelings for a fiery chef. In these ten short stories by Cassidy Ryan, you'll find a vampire feuding with a sorcerer, a werewolf in hiding, and a chocolate maker with a crush on his handyman.

Stories include A Family Secret, featuring Sebastian and Roan, who have to hide their relationship to avoid a family and friend freak out. Can they survive all of the secrets that will be revealed? Cry Wolf is a story about Cade and Leandro, whose small village secrets may prove too much for them. And in Fortune's Favor, Cal isn't ready to come out of the closet, no matter what Hayden thinks. Can Hayden change his mind.

All this and more creates a diverse collection of stories about very different characters, but with the universal theme of falling in love.

Stories include:

Fortune's Favor
The Handyman Can
What the Heart Wants
Cry Wolf
Best of Enemies
A Perfect Match
Have a Little Faith
Suddenly, Finally
The Gift of Love
A Family Secret

It's my kinda town

So, I've been in Chicago for several days now, and so far so great! It's wonderful to be spending some time with Em with no demands made on our time, just a chance to really be together. We don't get nearly enough of that.

I miss my little Angel back in Glasgow, but Em has 2 adorable cats who seem to sense that I need some kitty hugs, coz they are very attentive to me :D

My first US Thanksgiving has been a lot of fun -- and a LOT of food -- boy oh boy, there's been a lot of food!

Em is teaching me how to play on the Playstation -- until last night I had never even held a game controller, but I spent a good 2 hours blowing shit up. SO much fun!!

We also watched all the episodes so far of Glee and are right now watching Supernatural -- I was in need of a fix of those fine boys :D

Hope everyone else had a great holiday.

Hugs,
Cassi xx

Coming (fairly) soon

I recently signed a contract with Eternal Press for a m/f novelette called Love At Last, and I already have the most scrumptious cover art! When I was a kid dreaming of being a romance author, this cover is just what I envisioned! It was created by Dawne Dominique, and I could not love it more :D


Excited Cassi is excited

I leave for Chicago to spend some much-needed time with my girl (and my first American Thanksgiving) on Tuesday.

My laundry is done -- need to iron and pack, my hair is done -- coloured it this morning, a lovely rich chestnutty colour, loading my iPod with tunes (and Supernatural eps)right now.

Got my ticket and will check in online tomorrow (trying not to freak out about the actual flight).

New novel to read on the plane, which will hopefully distract me.

Got my dollars to buy Christmas pressies :D

Hmm...now, what else?

Happy Birthday, Mychael Black!!!
