From 'Wild West Island Getaway' ~ a Mid Week Tease ( @rmsotera #erom #paranormal )

Welcome to the middle of the week!
Mid Week Tease is an event where authors are spotlighting a few lines or a paragraph or two from their stories. Readers, you get to sample some delicious snippets and be teased, titillated and tantalized into the weekend!

Our contribution to MWT this week is from Wild West Island Getaway. The gang has traveled to Grand Cayman. Bristol and Damon are on their honeymoon. Cassie and Dak are at odds. Cassie's hanging out at the pool and meets someone new. Enjoy!

* “Ma’am?”
* Distracted out of her turbulent thoughts, she shielded her eyes against the bright sun hanging in a deep blue, cloudless sky and glanced at the man standing near her. “Yes?”
* “May I get you anything?” A slight British accent colored his voice.
* A cloak of patience emanated from the black-haired, hazel-eyed, gorgeous specimen of a man waiting on her answer. Cassie wanted to roll around in his calmness like a feline in a pile of catnip. She swept her gaze up and down his tall, athletic frame, landing on his gold and black name tag.
* Damian.
* Snippets from the movie “The Omen” flipped through her mind. Evil kid. But his name was Damien, with an E not an A, wasn’t it? She smiled at the worker. Damian or Damien, either way, the young fellow looked like he could be trouble. All sorts of fun trouble.

Our contribution to MWT this week is from our wip Wild West Island Getaway. The gang has traveled to Grand Cayman. Bristol and Damon are on their honeymoon. Cassie and Dak are at odds. Cassie's gone off to think and find herself and encounters someone new. Enjoy!

* She assumed the position without question. Ethan placed the rock on her hands to weigh them down. The rough mass, long and wide enough to cover both hands and most of her fingers, pressed upon and nipped her palms. Slowly, the compression and pricks to her muscles and tendons turned into an aching burn. Letting the mild pain float through her, she tested her mobility. She couldn’t move her arms. “Innovative.”
* “I’m good that way.” Ethan straddled her thighs, pinning her lower half to the blanket. “Have to think quick on my feet during my cases.” He bent down and kissed her chin, trailed hot kisses down her throat and nuzzled his face in the crook of her neck. His hands untucked the hem of her shirt from her shorts.
* Electric heat coiled in her shoulder where his lips met her skin, twisted down and joined the sizzling charges shooting along her abdomen where his fingertips skimmed in lazy circles. His sensual assault almost had her glossing over what he’d said. Cases? “In your work as a cabana boy?”
* “Sure.” Licking the notch between her neck and chest, he unbuttoned her shirt, then sat up. “If your hands start to hurt let me know, otherwise, be quiet.” Ethan moved the folds of her blouse away and traced the lace at the top of her strapless turquoise colored bra. “Front clasps. Good.” With a snap of his fingers, he unfastened the hooks. In one smooth motion, he plucked the fabric from her and exposed her breasts. “Lovely.”

* “Stay right there.” He glanced around the area, stepped away and picked up a good sized rock.
* What the hell does he plan to do with that? Images of him bashing her head in flitted through her mind. After all, she didn’t really know the guy. Maybe he was some kind of psycho, and she’d been charmed into his trap. A momentary bout of panic ran through her.
* He cocked his head and peered at her with a baffled expression. “You’re not afraid, are you? Cat, darling, trust me. I won’t harm you.”
* Rooted to her spot, she determined whether or not she should give him credence, decided she could and managed a nod.
* “Good.” His sinfully accented voice rumbled. “Now, lay down on the blanket on your back. Put your arms above your head, palms facing the sky.”

....Our contribution to MWT this week is from Wild West Hauntings. Enjoy!

....* Simplistic living. Wishful thinking that, a male voice whispered in her mind.
....* Rachel brushed off the masculine-voiced comments, telling herself they were only thoughts from her own subconscious, manifesting in a way that she’d find agreeable.
....* Slow and steady she pressed on the accelerator. She finished the drive to the parking area near the lodge. The large building had a stone façade that reminded her of the Italian marble found in her grandmother’s New York City penthouse. She liked the big pieces of cream colored stones with gold and grey veins streaking their surfaces. Rachel shifted uneasily in her seat. She couldn’t put a finger on it, but something about the structure was off. The lodge seemed too large, appeared too new.
....* There’s nothing wrong with it. I’m just exhausted. She pinched her cheeks, hoping the action would revive her and chase away the weird feelings and musings. The squeezes didn’t help. A strong urge for a nap, a wonderful hour or so of undisturbed sleep, took hold.
....* Yes, sleep, the man’s deep voice intoned in her mind again. Come be with me.

....Mid Week Tease is an event where authors are spotlighting a few lines or a paragraph or two from their stories. Readers, you get to sample some delicious snippets and be teased, titillated and tantalized into the weekend!

....Our contribution to MWT this week is from Wild West Hauntings. Enjoy!

....* Shocked at the eerily familiar vista of the ranch before her, Rachel Star slammed on the brakes of her economy rental car. The vehicle skidded then fishtailed. Rocks shot out from under the tires, pinging the undercarriage and flying off into the scraggy brush growing alongside the stone covered drive. A grayish brown dust cloud enveloped the automobile as she came to stop in the middle of the road. Shaking from the fleeting but chilling sensation of déjà vu, she turned on the heat and waited for the view to clear.
....* Fine, gritty earth particles created an ugly sandy coat on the green car. She didn’t care. The rental could be washed, but the image etched into her mind? What could be done about that? Still disbelieving the sight before her, she clicked on the windshield wash and wipers. The brush of the black metal and rubber arms along the glass didn’t change the vision. Another cold rush of vague feelings that she’d been here before swept over her.
....* The Double D. She’d never stepped foot on the property, yet, if she had to bet her life on it, she’d have sworn she’d been on the southern Nevada ranch once upon a time. All she had ever seen of the Dougans’ place was from the few photos her sister, Marianne, had sent her, but the in-person familiarity was uncanny. Somehow she seemed to know the nuances of the land, the placement the buildings, and their purpose. Property lines. A small pond up and over the ridge.
....* But why do I know?

....As authors, we're thrilled to share our stories with you and Evernight helps make our books shine! Here’s why we love Evernight Publishing:
....* RM & I were quite happy to be picked up by Evernight Publishing. We heard about the company through a friend of hers, and after our first book had been turned down by a couple of other places, we submitted there. The rest is history! We now have three stories in the Double D Ranch Tales series available through Evernight and have several more in various stages of development. Yay! Our experience at Evernight has been wonderful—from the support of the publisher to the cover art to the promotion to the support of other authors and so on. We’ve also received some great reviews on our stories. In fact, some of the positive feedback we’ve gotten is in direct contrast to the reasons why the first publisher we sent our story to rejected it. See? Just because one place doesn’t think you’re a fit or a particular person doesn’t like it, doesn’t mean that the story is garbage.
....* Want to read the wonderful reviews? Visit these links: Wild West Weekend | Wild West Hauntings | Wild West Promise
....* In celebration of Evernight’s 3rd Birthday, RM & I will give away one PRINT copy of either Wild West Weekend or Wild West Hauntings (reader’s choice) along with some fun swag.

Our contribution to MWT this week is from Wild West Promise. Hi all! CR here. With Halloween around the corner and my trip to KillerCon this month, I'm sharing part of the paranormal bit found in the story. ;) Enjoy!

* The cowboy didn’t show any hint of surprise at her statements. He turned her toward him. “Darlin’, you’re white as a ghost.”
* She didn’t doubt his words. Her pounding heart and churning stomach had drawn all her blood into her core. Whatever entities inhabited the land were strong. She’d have to tread carefully while in the iron boundary. “This Develin. What did he do that put him in here with a curse on his soul?”
* “He had an affair with his brother Donovan’s wife.” Kent brushed a stray hair from her cheek.
* She was sure her eyes bulged. “And his brother killed him?”

Our contribution to MWT this week is from Wild West Promise. Kent's enamoured with the red-head but isn't quite sure how to handle things... Enjoy!

* Her self-confidence and assertiveness ensnared him. His cock strained for a new length, pushing further against the sturdy denim material. How’d she gain control over his libido so fast? Distressed that thoughts of her could muddle his mind and stir up sexual urges, thus distracting him from what he should be doing, he scrambled out of the stall. Kent bustled through the rest of the stables, checking food and water bowls, a couple small haystacks, and then safely tucked away the last of the day’s riding gear. The focus on his duties didn’t help to get his thoughts off the woman.
* She followed him around. “Well, Kent?”
* Her presence had his whole being humming like a live wire. For a moment, he wondered if she would entertain the idea of climbing his body like a mountaineer dominating Mount Everest. But with a shake of his head, he tossed the thought to the side. His attention couldn’t be allowed to be diverted from work. She was a guest. There were rules.

Our contribution to MWT this week is from Wild West Promise. Kent's just seen a beautiful woman and before his libido takes over he goes outside. But he didn't quite escape... Enjoy!

* Her silky voice and sexy curves twisted his nerves, set his blood boiling and had his cock jumping to be touched. How could a mere slip of a woman affect him when nothing else ever rattled him?
* “Well?” The tips of her lips curved up in a sultry grin.
* God. He swallowed hard and hoped she didn’t see his Adam’s apple jerk. Older than most of the party attendees, she radiated beauty like a Celtic goddess with her long, curly locks and curious but penetrating gaze. He’d had every intention of answering the fine lady’s questions but found words scarce.
* She snuck closer. “You know, I can be an asset to a man with a plan.”

Our contribution to MWT this week is from Wild West Hauntings. Last week we mentioned how an evil spirit was toying with Bristol. This time you're taking a look at what he does with Rachel. Enjoy!

* Her body tensed beneath and around his steel length, doing to her pussy what his fingers had done moments before. She purred as the first delightful spasm vibrated through her. He increased the cadence of his thrusts, sliding in and out of her wet center with ease. The headboard tapped against the wall in rhythm with their movement. She tilted her head to glance at the vertical posts.
* His cowboy hat, which normally hung on the outer one, was missing. She glossed over the fact that she wasn’t watching it bob back and forth as he immersed his cock in her harder, deeper. She squeezed her eyes shut, raked her nails down his back as sparks flashed on the insides of her eyelids.
* “Oh God,” she cried out, her body shuddering with its release.
* “Sugar, there’s no God.”
* The horrid statement filled her mind and the atmosphere around snapped to a glacial temperature.

Our contribution to MWT this week is from Wild West Hauntings. An evil spirit has escaped the confines of the family cemetery & has targeted Bristol and her unborn child. In this passage, she's fallen asleep wearing a pair of vibrating undies and the poltergeist takes advantage of this. Enjoy!

* She wasn’t shocked by the massive body heat he gave off because that was a normal occurrence for her man when he slept. No, it was the shiver that ran down her spine when her gaze rested on the panty remote on the nightstand near Damon’s head.
* The dial moved once.
* Fear followed by confusion plummeted through her body, and suddenly her mouth felt full of cotton.
* Surely her eyes played tricks on her.
* Nope. The vibration between her legs promised she wasn’t seeing things. Was it equipment malfunction? In horror her body opened up, and she spread her legs as the vibrations hit that special spot.

Mid Week Tease is an event where authors are spotlighting a few lines or a paragraph or two from their stories. Readers, you get to sample some delicious snippets and be teased, titillated and tantalized into the weekend!

Our contribution to MWT this week is from Wild West Weekend in preparation of our upcoming release Wild West Promise. Here, Dakota is down at the bonfire thinking about the ranch, his family and the women who've come to visit. It has a hint toward the paranormal aspect that becomes more prevalent in book 2 Wild West Hauntings & book 3 Wild West Promise. Enjoy!

* But then, why should he find anything strange about what was going on around the ranch. With every new guest who came onto the property a new flavor of fun was added to the mix and anything could happen. There was one evening a family stumbled upon a couple in the midst of an intimate act in the pool, and he had to calm all the people down about their claims over indecency and voyeurism. Just over nine months later, he received a card and a picture of a baby named, Dillon, from the couple. Then there was the haunted town down the way, and his ranch’s resident ghosts. It’s a wonder anything surprised him anymore.
* Damon took the marshmallow on a stick from the brunette, handed the burning treat to Hugh, then whispered in the petite woman’s ear.
* Her gaze widened. Her laughter rang over the gathering.
* Everyone stilled, became quiet. She stared at Damon like he had grown two heads, tossed her long curly black hair over her shoulder. “You sing?”

Heating up the summer ~ Wet and Wild Bl0g H0p ( #wildhop @rmsotera @evernightpub #SO )

Howdy & welcome! We're swinging into the hot and sultry months of summer and what better time to have a bl0g h0p called Wet and Wild than now? Woot!
* Here in Las Vegas things are already heating up. Yup, we've been experiencing temps in the 100's! Too soon for that kind of heat, I say. It should just stick to tormenting us at the end of July and through August. If you live in the desert areas of the Southwest, you know what I mean. But it's not just the outdoor temperatures that are getting hot. RM and I have been burning up the keyboards working on more Double D Ranch goodness!
* At the top of the list is a story we've entitled Wild West Promise. We're nearing the last of the drafts and soon will have a final to submit. It's a short story. Gonna be between 10K and 12K words, and it'll follow a special night in wrangler Kent's life. And there's a surprise with this story, but you'll just have to wait to find out what that is. ;)
* We're also 25K+ into our next full length story (shootin' for 50K+ words) that we've named Wild West Island Getaway. This will pick up after Wild West Hauntings and will follow most of the gang as they vacation down in the Caribbean on Grand Cayman. Bristol and Cassie will both experience some major shocks and changes in this tale.
* Then we have two more novellas, introducing twins Alexis and Amber Dougan, Dakota and Damon's cousins. Like Wild West Island Getaway, these two stories plan to have lots of drama and intrigue in them, too!
* And, fear not dear readers, we still have another full length book planned which will highlight Kane and Roxy's journey, along with other ideas we're tossing around for more books. See? Lots of hot, hot, hot stories are on the way from the Double D writing team!
* Have you ever wished you could meet us? Well, now you have a great opportunity! We'll be attending a Romance Readers' Event called Hot Mojave Knights here in our wonderful city of Las Vegas! (Click HERE for info) We're also planning a special intimate event at the conference regarding our Wild West series of books! So come out, meet us, enjoy the weekend and find out what we have planned for the series. There's a possibility YOU can be a part of a Double D Ranch tale book!

Cowboys, Lawmen & the Double D ~ Bl0g H0p ( #CowboysLawmen @rmsotera @evernightpub )

* For the next several days, this blog is hosting the Cowboys and Lawmen Bl0g H0p! The list of participants is below, so be sure to visit all the wonderful blogs and leave a comment on each of them WITH your email address to be entered for some great stuff. There will also be a grand prize of an Amazon or Barnes and Noble gift card (winners choice)! Any comment that doesn’t have an email address will be skipped over when it comes to being put in the drawing for the grand prize & individual blog prize. Why? Well, without an email we can't contact you if you were to happen to win, so please leave an email. :) The host of this hop, Sara Walter Ellwood, will chose one commenter from all the blogs and announce the winner on the evening of May 7 on the blog the winner was chosen from, the Cowboy Charm website (click blog hop pic for site) and the Facebook Group (link below). She will also be contacting the winner and forwarding the grand prize to them.
* Cowboys are known as bad-boys, but what happens when the bad-boy is also the law in town? What is it about these contradictions that make small town sheriffs, Texas Rangers and ex-outlaws-turned-lawmen so irresistible? And what makes them so gosh-darn sexy? Rm and I haven't done a Double D Ranch Tales story yet that explores this theme, but as we say, "Never say never!" A hot cowboy who once was a bad boy could easily make his way into a story of ours, a tale in which he can do some good and be associated with the ranch, especially with it being located so close to Las Vegas. In fact, as I'm writing this, there are some ideas bounding around in my head already. A tall, dark and handsome cousin, or other family member, who got into trouble in his youth and who had an easy time of charming the ladies (can we say modern day rake?), gets hired on by the good guys to help catch the men he used to hang with. And, what makes a man like this irresistibly sexy? The fact that he hasn't lost the traits that made him a cad in the first place: street smarts; knowing how to read people; how to woo a woman and make her feel wonderful in and out of the bedroom; how to make himself seem fascinating to everyone around him. Plus the fact that he decided to turn his life around, to follow a more moral compass while still acting like a bad boy, and knows how to ride and rope and work on a ranch, helps, too. At least IMO this is what makes him the hunky cowboy he is. ;)
* We're giving away, to one lucky winner whose name we draw, a choice of either a PDF of Wild West Weekend; a PDF of Wild West Hauntings; or the winner can choose to be put on a list for the next Wild West book (PDF) when it comes out. To enter for this prize (and the Grand Prize) please answer the following: What do you love most about lawmen who are also cowboys? This blog's drawing will be held on May 7 & winner notified that night.

A Look At Stephanie Berget & 'Sugarwater Ranch' ( @StephanieBerget @evernightpub #MM )

Today we have author Stephanie Berget visiting. Welcome!

What would you like to tell readers about yourself?
* Stephanie Berget was born loving horses and found her way to rodeo when she married her own, hot cowboy. She and her husband traveled throughout the Northwest while she ran barrels and her cowboy rode bucking horses. She started writing to put a realistic view of rodeo and ranching into western romance. Stephanie and her husband live on a farm, located along the Oregon/Idaho border. They raise hay, horses and cattle, with the help of Dizzy Dottie, the Border Collie and Big Al, team roping horse extraordinaire.

What book are you going to tell us about today? Is it part of a series? If so, what's the order the books should be read in?
* Sugarwater Ranch. It’s the first in my Salt Creek Cowboys series.

How'd you/your muse come up with this story?
* In the first story I ever wrote, the heroine’s brother had a bit part. He was a party animal and caused her no small amount of trouble. Sean intrigued me and made me laugh. I wanted to see what his story was, and if there was any way he could redeem himself.

Describe the hero in five words.
* Fun-loving, determined, reckless, authentic, straight-forward

Describe the heroine in five words.
* Reliable, kind, family-oriented, honest, conservative

Who's your favorite character in the book & why?
* My favorite character is Sean. He’s tough, parties a little too much (or a lot too much) and thinks he was put on this earth to ride bulls. He’s got his life all figured out until he meets Catherine. However, Junior, Catherine’s cousin comes in a close second. He’s not very book smart, but he’s got a second sense about people and sees things others don’t.

What's your favorite line in the story?
* There, in the buff, was one of the nicest butts she'd ever had the privilege of ogling.

A look into the story

~ Blurb ~ * Sean O’Connell’s life is perfect, or it was until his partying lifestyle affected his bull riding. Now he’s ended the season too broke to leave the Northwest for the warm southern rodeos. When a wild night with his buddies gets out of hand, he wakes up naked, staring into the angry eyes of a strange woman. His infallible O’Connell charm gets him nowhere with the dark-haired beauty. It’s obvious she’s not his usual good-time girl, so why can’t he forget her?
* Bar-manager Catherine Silvera finds a waterlogged, unconscious cowboy freezing to death in front of the Sugarwater Bar. She saves his life--then runs faster than a jackrabbit with a coyote on its tail. Any man who makes his living rodeoing is bad news, especially if he thinks partying is part of the competition. He’s everything she doesn’t want in a man, so why can’t she shake her attraction to the rugged cowboy?

~ Excerpt ~ * Catherine glanced at him. “You’re nice people. You just hide it well.” The giggle burst out of her.
* Sean had never heard her giggle. She didn’t seem like the giggling type of woman. Then he realized what she’d said.
* “I hide it well? And I suppose you can see right through me to the warm chocolaty core?” She giggled again then laughed outright. And laughter looked very good on Catherine Silvera.
* “Chocolaty core. Good description. I just need to lick through the hard sugar shell.”
* Oh hell, the mental image just about blew him out of his boots. He grabbed her and pulled her between the buildings to a private spot.
* “So you’re going to lick through the sugar shell?” It was his turn to laugh as he watched the blush spread up her neck and across her cheeks.
* “I didn’t mean... You dirty-minded old man.” Even though she was blushing, she smiled.
* “You’d better get started if you want to get to the chocolate tonight.” His mouth closed on hers. She pressed against him and slipped her tongue into his mouth. She’s taking me seriously was his last thought before his brain scrambled.
