Last summer, while hanging out with a couple of my favorite online authors, we had a wonderful idea, to write a few stories about a unique dating service. We thought that a situation where, for reasons of their own, ordinary people wanted to have one great night, no strings attached. We had a few thoughts about why that might be and so Valerie Mann, Olivia Starke and I agreed to each write a story about what we thought might happen under those circumstances.
The Mysterious Madame Evangeline, owner of 1NightStand, is without peer in her gift at matching lovers for a 1NightStand, and always gives her clients more of an experience than they would have dreamed possible. Most of the dates happen at one of the fabulous Castillo Hotels and Resorts scattered around the world, with several at luxurious Castillo Las Vegas, Jackson Castillo’s flagship hotel, right on the Vegas Strip.
When we presented our idea to Decadent Publishing, we were given the green light to invite other authors to contribute to the series. To date there are more than a dozen stories accepted and a second series focusing on GLBT on the way.
Virgin and the Playboy was my first contribution to the series, although I have another in the works. Check it out and see what happens when a girl who was too consumed with her education and getting started in business to pay attention to her love life meets a guy who dates a different girl every week. And who has no idea he’s got a virgin for a 1 Night Stand.
Kate’s The Virgin and the Playboy as well as the other stories currently released are available at www.decadentpublishing.com or at your favorite online bookstore
Yay!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to have been invited to participate. I'd never done a short based on certain factors that had to be mentioned in the story so it was a great experience and soooo much fun!
Looks great congrats ladies
ReplyDeleteFun concept! Looking forward to reading these... Congrats, Kate!
ReplyDeleteHurrah! :)
ReplyDeleteThis was such a good idea. I am not a one night kind of gal, but I loved writing Erotic Healing for this series. Thanks for the inspiration, Kate(and Val and Olivia). BTW - The Virgin and the Playboy is a great little read.
ReplyDeleteThe one-night stand idea was definitely a brainstorm. We all jumped on it and immediately had ideas! The cool part is that there are so plot bunnies jumping around, we expect everyone to write more than one!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun series and we are SO proud of you ladies for really allowing it to become phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteVery excited, too, about the GLBT series!

This series is so much fun to write for and to be involved in it's almost criminal!
ReplyDeleteI wondered how this concept was born! Like Becca I'm not a one night kind of gal, or a short story gal, but writing Fairy Casanova for the series was so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Kate.
Huggles,
Gracen
Really awesome concept for this series. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteI think one of the great things about this series is the number of authors who usually do write novels who have checked in. They decide to contribute and finish the book in lightning speed and we are amazed at the brilliance, and heat! Thanks to all of the contributers present and future, you really do make it a joy to work with.
ReplyDeleteCongrats ladies. I am thrilled and honored to have been invited to participate. I can't wait to read all the wonderful stories and see were the series goes.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to everyone involved in this wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sounding story, Kate! It's got a beautiful cover, too.
All the best!
Such a sexy and beautiful cover! I can't wait to read the story! I just know every single book in this series is going on my to read list!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a gorgeous site! I'll have to come up with something soon for 1NS! I'm very intrigued by the whole series and the sexy cover and site!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Faith. That means a lot, I really admire your work and of course your hilarious blogging!
