Hello! I hope you had a great weekend and a wonderful month of May. June is Pride Month to celebrate and support the GLBTQ communities. Show your support this month and throughout the year as well.
The Sizzling Summer Reads Party starts tomorrow at The Romance Reviews. Don’t forget to stop by and enter for the chance to win some great prizes. During week 2 I’ll be offering a download of Trouble in Paradise to a winner. Hundreds of authors are participating in the event, so be sure to check it out.
Yesterday Margo Diamond was a guest at my blog. To find out more about Margo and her books, be sure to read her interview. This week Ana Raine and Beverley Oakley will be stopping by. Please drop in to say hello.
For book news, I’ve just turned in edits for my upcoming erotic fantasy romance The Red King. This story is a spinoff of the Knights of the Ruby Order series. You’ll meet some previous characters such as Crag and Blaze again. I’ve loved working on The Red King and have been busy with the sequel, The Black King.
I’m also writing story 2 of the Scarlet Nights vampire series. Hungry Novice picks up where Starving Artist left off. Blair and May are together and in love, but she’s not willing to sit calmly in the background while he runs off to fight evil. Will his protective nature and her wild side drive them apart?
That’s about all for now.
I hope you have a great week!
Kate

Excerpt of the Week:
Moonlight on Water by Kate Hill
He continued, “All I want is your body, exposed and willing. Agreed?”
“Yes. Agreed,” she whispered.
“Good. Then follow me.”
He stepped through a door at the back of the office.
Moonlight glanced toward the exit and freedom, then with a sigh of resignation, turned and followed Xenos to his bedroom. He’d activated a dim light and she looked around, noting this room was as barren as his office, with only a bed and a table beside it containing three drawers. A spec and alarm were built into the tabletop. He pointed to one of three doors across the room and said, “The latrine.”
Nodding, Moonlight couldn’t bring herself to respond in words at the moment. She felt numb and a little nauseous. While this wasn’t the first time she’d fucked, she’d never imagined being with a man like Xenos.
Moonlight removed a contraceptive-disease prevention tablet from her purse and placed it on her tongue, feeling it melt. She noticed he also removed a tablet from the top drawer of the table and popped it into his mouth.
“How do you. . .” She cleared her throat and tried to sound nonchalant. “How do you usually do this?”
In two long strides, he reached her and bent slightly so they were almost nose to nose, his gaze fixed upon her. “Without conversation.”
“Yes. You mentioned that,” she said, her voice just above a whisper. He’d also said no kissing, but she had the most horrible feeling he was going to touch her mouth with those awful blue lips.
As if sensing her thoughts, he pulled his head back slightly and swept her into his arms so she was forced to grasp his shoulders. Before she had a chance to fully regain her composure, he dumped her on the bed. The mattress was very firm and covered in white sheets.
He sat beside her and roughly pushed up her dress. Moonlight tried to control her breathing, to remain calm and passive as he began stroking her inner thigh with his gloved hand. She knew his gloves disguised webbed hands. Tydisian hands. Part of her was glad she wasn’t forced to see those animal appendages, while another part of her wished for a glimpse of them to satisfy her perverse curiosity.
Xenos slipped his fingers into the waistband of her black lace panties and slid them down her legs. She kicked off her shoes, making it easier for him to remove her underwear. The sooner they got on with this, the better.
Then she realized it didn’t really matter. She was stuck here for two weeks. She wondered if he intended for her to sleep in his bed? Probably not, since it was a standard-size cot with little enough room for one, let alone two.
If she had to share his room, she doubted she’d sleep at all during her stay.
He’d discarded her panties and resumed stroking her.
