Second Skin

Available HERE

by Thea Landen 

Most of us read fiction, I think, as a form of escape. I know I like to pretend my day didn’t just consist of running around at work and then coming home and trying not to overcook dinner. Even when I’m just curled up on the couch with my Kindle, I can live out the fantasy of doing whatever I want and being whoever I want to be. Tonight I can finish up that sultry romance, and tomorrow I can dive into a crime thriller (and live vicariously through the characters!).

But what if those sorts of changes weren’t optional? In my first 1Night Stand story, Second Skin, Anna has to constantly reinvent herself as a requirement of her job. A lifetime of pretending to be someone she’s not leaves her with very few opportunities for love. Good thing Madame Eve is available to lend a helping hand!

Blurb: Anna’s career as a high-level CIA operative is put on involuntary hiatus. When a trusted colleague passes along the information for the 1Night Stand service, Anna decides to take the plunge against her better judgment and seek some intimate company. But her CIA instincts can’t be ignored, and when she contacts Madame Eve, she uses an alias.

Brendan owns a lucrative manufacturing company, but he’s yet to achieve the goal of finding a woman with whom he can share his successes and joys. But beneath his polished, capable exterior hides the painfully shy teenager he’s never been able to escape. When his own efforts in the dating scene fall short, he turns to 1Night Stand.

It would be so easy to fall in love with Brendan, and Anna’s protective mask slides away, piece-by-piece, revealing more of herself than she should dare. Before she can slip away with the sunrise, Brendan shows their encounter in a new light. Will Anna take a chance on their future, or will she choose to return to her undercover, but lonely life?

Excerpt:

“It’s beautiful out here, isn’t it?” His breath danced across the tip of her ear.

“Mm-hmm.”

“Summers in this region are always nice, but they’re nothing compared to the autumn foliage,” he said. “Have you ever been up here during that time of year?”

Anna continued tracing idle lines from his wrist to his elbow. “No, I haven’t.”

His head dipped lower and his lips grazed her skin. “I realize it’s early for us, but I’d love to come back here with you. We could watch the changing colors, cuddle in front of a roaring fire….”

Anguish stabbed at her. The images he described sounded flawless and enticing. Every part of her yearned to agree to whatever he offered, but planning a rendezvous posed too much of a risk. She hadn’t predicted the difficulties of keeping up an ongoing charade with the man she met.

“That sounds lovely.” She swallowed hard and turned toward him. Her cheek rested in the crook of his neck, though its comfort did nothing to assuage her unexpected guilt over the upcoming lie. “Maybe we can work something out.”

Who's your secret Fantasy?

By Sara Daniel

Confession time: My teenage fantasies were all about the boys who I wished would notice me and didn’t—in other words, all of them. In my fantasies, they would fall in love with my many wonderful qualities (dumping their hot, snotty girlfriends—naturally), and my biggest quandary would become which one of them I wanted the most.

Hollywood stars (I’m talking to you, Matthew McConaughey and Channing Tatum!) and NASCAR bad boys (What can I say? I’m obsessed!) have taken my fantasies to an entirely different level. These public figures also don’t know I exist, but their star status at least makes my invisibility understandable.

However, fantasies can also be about people who do know you exist but don’t see you in a sexy light or with whom acting on the fantasy would be a serious broach of conduct. Madame Eve has a solution, as she always does, for those smart enough to contact her 1Night Stand service for help. Below are two very smart, very satisfied customers.

More than a Fantasy

Regina’s fantasies about her hot marketing assistant, Gabriel, are interfering with her focus at work. In desperation, she turns to Madame Eve to give her a one-night stand with a man who looks just like him. When the Gabriel arrives in her hotel room, she must choose between walking away and playing out her daydreams with the real thing. Their one night becomes a wrestling match for control as Regina strives to keep the upper hand. But Gabriel is just as determined to show her how to work together for business and for pleasure.

As passion trumps protocol, their one night stand quickly becomes much more than a fantasy.

Excerpt: 

The balcony door slid open. The trim, broad-shouldered backside of a man with Gabriel’s basic frame entered. He was dressed in jeans and a dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up his forearms. Her fingers tingled at the prospect of touching his hard, muscled body and claiming it for the night.

The man secured the glass door then rotated toward her. Backlit by the setting sun, he had the same profile as Gabriel. Perhaps his hair was a tad darker, but she could overlook that. The lack of dimples was more disappointing.

He strolled toward her, blocking the sunset and bringing his gorgeous blond curls into the full view of the overhead lights. A charismatic smile lit up his brown eyes, denting tiny grooves on each of his cheeks. “Regina.”

No. Not possible. Not funny, either. She hadn’t wanted the Gabriel. She wanted a fake, one with no career ambitions and a staggeringly low IQ. She’d spelled out her wants on the matchmaking form. “How did you get in here?”

“I checked in, same as you.”

Her mental agenda said she should be heavy petting her way to a blowjob. It did not include arguing semantics with her assistant or a potential sexual harassment suit.

She had to get him out of here before he ruined the match Madame Eve had set up. No matter how much the other guy looked like him, the more time she spent with Gabriel, the less she wanted anyone else in his place. “Where’s the man who’s supposed to be here?”

“I’m him.”

Desire hit her hard. Everything she wanted was in her reach. And as far away as ever.

Where are you, Spring?

I’ve got it bad. Seriously, really, really bad. Staring at all the snow and sleet on the ground has given me the itch for warm weather. Sure, I love winter, but there’s a point at which enough is enough Mother Nature! I’m over it, where are the flowers and singing birds?

I’ve gotten into organic gardening and spring means I get to play in the dirt, breathe fresh air, and work on my farmer’s tan. Tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, potatoes, greens, herbs, and a few other goodies that make my mouth water just thinking about them. Nothing compares to fresh veggies right out of your very own garden, though it can be hard frustrating work, and I’m ready to start planting. When I see the ground again. Whenever that’ll be. *big sigh*

Are you a gardener? What do you like to plant? Leave a comment with email and you might win an ecopy of my 1NS paranormal release Dirty Love!

BLURB

Kat goes on the prowl looking for a one night stand to rile up her new friends. A little shock and awe to keep her sane in a life no longer hers. When she’s matched with Jared through 1Night Stand, he seems perfect for her plans. Conservative, sweet, and sexy as sin, she’s ready for one hell of a ride.

But Jared is more than she bargained for—much more. And when her plans for amusement turn dangerous will the two find a way to stay alive?

EXCERPT

"Come on.” She winked. “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.”

"I thought these things were urban legend. I never imagined I’d see one in real life.”

His date’s gaze glimmered with mischief. “There are lots of big hairy surprises out there for those brave enough to search for them.”

“Like you, for one.” He cleared his throat. “Except for the hairy part. I hope, anyway.”

A slight blush colored her cheeks, and he brushed his knuckles over the soft skin there. Shadows marred the smoothness beneath her eyes. Had she been sick? Or maybe her party girl lifestyle drew out too much. She stepped back.

“Cowboy up, sugar.” She grasped his hand and pulled him forward, again surprising him with her power. Under the softness of her curves lay a fair amount of muscle. He swallowed. She could ride him without tiring, take his maddened pounding for hours. It’d take all night to spend the pent up energy boiling in his veins. He’d passed the point of return; jerking off wouldn’t satiate his needs. Without sex, and soon, he’d run howling through the streets, a crazed animal.

After taking an elevator to the basement level of the parking garage, she led him to a red door and rapped on its freshly painted surface. Dark corners closed in on them. The hairs on his arms and neck rose. He sensed being watched. More cameras. Were as many inside? And maybe a live Internet feed his family could run across in some improbable way?

Don’t create imaginary monsters. He squared his shoulders.

A partition slid open. Dark eyes narrowed, focusing on Kat who lifted a pale brow. The panel slammed closed, and Jared let a small sigh slip. Could he be off the hook? This night had turned out to be more than he’d bargained for, leaving him ready to tuck tail and run. Find somewhere else to indulge his feral wants with his date. The door swung open, and the odor of incense assaulted him. His escape option evaporated.

Facing Fears

By Tara Andrews

One of the most exciting times in my life was when I went on a tour of Europe.  Alone. Well, I was with a tour group, but I didn’t have anyone I knew to go with me and, darn it, I wanted to go.  And why not?  I had a full-time job and my own source of income. So, in a spontaneous moment I drove myself to the travel agent and booked a two week trip that would take me through eight different countries. I never felt more daring than I did in that moment. 

I was also a nervous wreck!  Just under twenty-one (but legal drinking age over there, hello!), I would be stopping in all these cities where I didn’t know the language – except while in London, of course.  But I went, and in the process met people from all over the world and had a phenomenal time. 

My main takeaway from this experience is that I can do anything I put my mind to.  Sure, I was scared, but I didn’t let it stop me and I wound up with a bunch of awesome memories.  Like one memory involving dinner in Paris where I traded all my escargot for cognac—but that’s a whole other story.  LOL.

In Long Overdue, Jill makes a different decision—to engage 1Night Stand.  She’s as nervous about going through with the evening as I was stepping onto that plane at JFK.  But she doesn’t let it stop her and in the end she finds her happily ever after.

***

Blurb:

Jill Malone has been looking for love for all the wrong reasons. A reality check has her signing up for a no-strings attached night to simply forget about forever after. The last thing she expected was to know her blind date.

Blake Anders doesn’t need help finding a date, but he’s tempted by 1Night Stand’s reputation of arranging exactly what a person needs. And he needs more. Though doubtful, he agrees to one night and hopes to discover his perfect match. He didn’t count on Madame Eve reaching deep into his past to give him a night with the woman he never forgot.

Fearing another broken heart, Jill works to keep herself from becoming attached, but Blake goes all in to convince her that he wants their long-overdue love to be more than a one-night stand…

Bunny Does Satin Sheets

Today, 1 NightStanders, I have a big guest—no I really mean big. He stands at over seven feet tall and doesn’t even play basketball. Please help me extend a warm welcome to a tall drink of water, Galan.

*Leans forward in seat to study impressive man in hot seat*

So.... Tell us a little about yourself.

*Glances around* There’s not much to tell, except I’m not from around here. My brother and I travel from planet... I mean, place to place, visiting other cultures. Though, I came here, because I’m ready to settle down. From what I’ve read, Las Vegas isn’t the place one usually goes to settle down, but that’s where my date was set.

So are those feathers natural, or can a girl get them as extensions—in pink?

Feathers? *strokes his hair* Of course, they’re natural. Though, I can’t say I’ve seen any in pink that are natural. They’d have to be dyed, right?

Flamingos, silly. *Snorts* How did you hear about 1Night Stand?

From a friend of a friend. He recommended the service, and I thought I’d give it a try. Turns out Madame Eve really is magic.

A little birdie told me you traveled a great distance for your date. Was it everything you thought it would be?

Yes, a very far distance, and extremely worth it. I found the woman I’ve been looking for my entire life. And somehow, seeing her unconscious made my brother decide to settle down, too.

Is three a crowd? Just asking. I mean I’m certainly willing to keep your brother occupied, should you want a little alone time. No?

Three is not a crowd at all. I mean, my brother and I have shared women before, but Danyka is different. It’s about more than just sex with her. Though, we aren’t complaining in that area, either. Sorry, Bunny, but he’s given up that lifestyle, too.

We’ll do some quickies.

Favorite color? Red, like the dress Danyka wore when I met her.

How tall does she need to be to get on the ride?

Tall enough. But my definition of tall is a little skewed.

Lace or satin?

Satin, of course.

Blonde or redhead?

Redhead

Hmm. I’m sensing a theme here. *Snaps fingers and changes into a red dress* Do you have a big...ship?

Yes, my...ship is very big. *wink*

Oh, can you give me a ride? Your phone number?

The phones from where I’m from aren’t the same as on Earth.

Just in case I need to follow up, on this...interview. What are you doing later? Hey, come back here. We. Are. Not. Done. Don’t make me stalk you. Seriously. Please. Hey....

Well, I need to run. No, I mean I really need to run. Did you see the stride on that guy? You’d have to be an Olympic sprinter to keep up. For the full deets on the date, you can get the exclusive here:

Debbie: So, In honor of our new release, Explosive Conditions, LJ and I have decided to interview our two main characters, Kaci Phillips and Staff Sergeant Zeke “Diz” Matthews.

LJ:  I really enjoyed writing Explosive Conditions. So far, I think it was the most fun.

Debbie: Totally agree.

LJ: Sooo, we’re supposed to grill these two? I know we put them through the wringer—both of them. LOL So I guess a little more won’t hurt…too awful much.

Debbie: Okay, Let’s get started. Why do they call you Diz?

Zeke: It comes from my job. I’m an Explosive Ordnance technician. Lets just say the after affects of one of my close calls left me a bit light headed.

Kaci: Ummm, you didn’t tell me about that.

Zeke: Nothing to worry about, honey. I’ve still got ten working fingers and toes.

Kaci: (blushes) That’s not all that’s working on ya.

LJ: Kaci, why chop off all that gorgeous brunette hair?

Kaci: I was ready for a change. I needed to put the horror of the past behind me and start over. (glances over at Zeke) Cutting my hair short was just the start.

LJ: I’m sure it was.

Debbie: Zeke, I’m told you drive a mustang? Be honest, how fast have you had it?

Zeke: (laughs) Why, you tryin’ to get my clearance revoked?

Debbie: Of course not.

LJ: What prompted you two to contact Madame Eve?

Kaci: Like I had a choice.

Zeke: Damn straight. But since it all turned out all right, I guess I won’t have to kick Bobcat’s a—

Kaci: Zeke, sweetie. Keep it PG, please.

Debbie: Soooo, how about that first meeting on the 1Night Sail?? Care to explain?

Kaci: uhhhh….

Zeke: Really? Isn’t it enough that you two put it out there for the whole world to read, you want us to go over it again?

LJ: Sure.

Kaci: uhhhh….

Zeke: You two went into plenty of detail. Just read the story. (mumbles) Course the real thing was even hotter….

LJ: Kaci, what was going through your mind when you were kidnapped?

Kaci: I couldn’t believe it. Here I’d just found the most perfect man—

Zeke: Aw, thank you, darlin’

Kaci: (grins) And then when those as—

Zeke: PG, honey. PG.

Kaci: Right. Um, those animals grabbed me, and then when…well, I won’t say what happened next. Let’s just leave it that I thought that was it, that I’d lost him forever.

LJ: I bet you did!

Debbie: Zeke, why the need to call in local law enforcement. Couldn’t you and the other guys just go in and taken care of business on your own instead of wasting time with the locals?

Zeke: Apparently, you authors are sticklers for authenticity. I would have preferred the team just bust in and save the day, but I’m told that wouldn’t have been realistic. I might add because you two needed to have us wait, Kaci was needlessly hurt. We WILL be discussing that in the near future.

Kaci: (pats Zeke’s arm) I’m fine. The girls were just doing their jobs.

Zeke: It’s not okay.

Kaci: Well, don’t rile them. Or they’ll take it out on us.

Zeke: Sweetie, our story is finished. There’s nothing else they can do to us.

LJ: Really? You think so?

Zeke: Sure. It’s all on the next PJ, right? (grins) And I know who that’s gotta be.

Kaci: But you’ll still be there with the rest of your team. More bullets. More bad guys. Will it ever end?

Zeke: Not till I find the person who murdered your family and bring them to justice, it’s not. You’re my life, Kaci.

Debbie: Do I hear wedding bells in the future?

Kaci: (Looks at Zeke)

Zeke: Jesus, you two! Is nothing sacred? If I’m going to propose, it will be a special event between the two of us. (Gestures between himself and Kaci) Capisce?

Debbie: Testy, testy.

LJ: Any secrets you can give away on the next story in the series?

Zeke: Hmmm, I’m not big on giving away secrets.

Kaci: It’s Kyle’s turn to experience Madame Eve. Oh, and the title is Do No Harm.

Zeke: (gives Kaci’s waist a squeeze) Uh, we’re gonna have to talk about this secret stuff.

Kaci: (giggles) It’s not like it’s one of your military secrets, sheesh.

Zeke: I can tell you this. Junior Lieutenant Kyle “Raven” Alvarez is up for the challenge. The man is opinionated, for sure. And finding him a woman? Well, that’s on you two, isn’t it?

LJ: I think we can manage.

Debbie: On it as we speak. You’ll love her, she’ll fit right in.

Olympic 1Night Stand!

By Stephanie Beck

The only time you’ll see Stephanie Beck sit down and watch a hockey game is during the winter Olympics. Only time. I don’t like hockey, cross country skiing, snowboarding...yeah, I just don’t find them interesting. However, I love the Olympics, and for a magical 16 days every four years, I rearrange my schedule so I can watch as many events as possible.

More than just the events though, I love the Olympians’ back stories. The struggles and triumphs are amazing and humbling. They make me happy. A while back I read something about the Olympic village being hook up central—which totally makes sense to me. After all that pressure, of course there is going to be some, um, exploding.

My husband rolls his eyes when it comes to the relationships. He doesn’t see the reason for the relationship statuses and who is hooking up with whom is shared. I see the reason and while I don’t think it is the most important thing, I like knowing that at least some of the athletes found someone with similar goals and schedules and loves to be with. Those qualities turn what could be a classic one night stand into something much more. And who doesn’t get all doe eyed when two people who work so very hard achieve (or fall short) of success and jump into each others’ arms? (Well, my husband is one who doesn’t, but I get big-eyed enough for both of us).

Do you have a favorite Olympic event or story? Share it for a chance to win Panties Optional, my contribution to the amazing 1NS series.

Maggie Chase has a wild night of passion planned with the help of Madame Evangeline’s dating service, 1NightStand. A single night with an incredible man, what more can a busy girl ask for?

Sam Peterson requests that Madame Evangeline help him find a woman who isn’t after him for his money. Maggie may just fit the bill, but with her list of fantasies in hand, she may be more than he bargained for.
Forever isn’t on either one of their minds, but maybe it doesn’t have to be.

Pulling Strings

Available HERE

By Stephanie Beck

The other day my daughter picked out a god-awful shirt. It was so ugly. Just...hideous. However, at nine years old, my daughter has a unique style and is getting to the point where she does make many of her clothing choices. I was in a tough spot. Buy the ugly shirt (which was on clearance and definitely within the limit I’d given her) or gently nudge her in a different direction.

I’m not the most subtle person, so the nudging isn’t always my strong suit. I also had to remind myself that it was a three dollar shirt, not a long term commitment. Sure, I’d have to see the shirt over breakfast some mornings, but I could also suggest adding a sweatshirt.

Long story short—she is the proud owner of a very, very ugly shirt. She’s happy, I’m resigned and really, no damage was done. I think this whole thing earns me a ‘mom star’.  It shouldn’t be so hard to get into the habit of having my kids make and then live with their choices—I think I can get the hang of it with enough practice.

Now, if only I can remember this lesson and the outcome when she starts dating. I have this desire to play Madame Eve, and have the perfect guy for her lined up along the way, ready to meet when the time is just right...for a nice happily ever after happening when my daughter is in her late 20’s and I’m ready to be a grandmother.

Speaking of pulling strings, Madame Eve made a few things happen in Panties Optional—Maggie and Sam didn’t complain either!

How to Find Love in Just 24 hours in Mumbai

By Eva Lefoy

Mumbai is the most crowded city in India and the fourth most populous in the world. With 20.5 million people, how does anybody find the perfect person to love? If any city cries out for Mademe Eve’s services, it is this one!

Mademe Eve used her special brand of magic in Lover Enslaved, setting up Thomas – an American businessman – and Arjun – an Indian male prostitute – at the Castillo Mumbai Tower Hotel. Neither of them were expecting love from this one night stand, but both experienced a life-changing evening.

Arjun sells his body night after night for money, sometimes to violent men. His pimp, Ranjeet, is not a nice guy to work for either. By the time he receives a note from Mademe Eve he’s nearly given up his quest to find love. Not that he expects it to last forever. He’d be happy with just one night. Little does he know his date won’t settle for leaving him behind.

Thomas is an American businessman holed up in Mumbai for the night. He’s seeking the comfort of a male body and a way to forget the past, but he doesn’t expect to find an Indian prostitute who steals his heart with his lilting voice and his easy manner. A man he wants to rescue from his sordid life with every fiber of his being.

When Madame Eve makes a match, she does it well. Thomas is just the man Arjun needs to take care of him, and Arjun is exactly the kind of man Thomas feels driven to protect. Together the two men work out a agreement, but not without some bargaining and some rather horrid interruptions from Ranjeet:

Arjun turned his gaze toward the floor. “I wanted to stay, but it would have only delayed the pain.”

“Of leaving?” Arjun shrugged, his silent acquiescence even more disheartening than his words. Thomas took a step closer. He wanted to touch Arjun, damn it. He wanted to pull him into his arms and convince him to allow him to spirit him away. “What if I told you there could be no pain?”

Arjun’s head came up. “This is my life, Thomas. There is nothing else for me. I told you that.”

“I said I’d find a way for us to be together and I meant it.” He closed the distance between them, so close he could feel Arjun’s little puffs of breath on his chin. God, they felt so sweet. “Do you trust me, Arjun?”

Arjun stared right into his eyes. “Yes, but—” His gaze veered away for a split second and widened in fear.

Thomas knew who stood behind him even before the safety clicked off on the 9mm pressed to his temple. Behind him, he heard the hotel guard struggle and another click. “There you are, Ranjeet. I was wondering if you’d ever get here.”

“What are you doing here, gorey saalah?” Ranjeet spit the last two words out like an insult.

Thomas supposed they were. He’d heard enough insults in enough languages to recognize the tone when he heard it, even if he had no idea what they meant. “I’m visiting Arjun.”

“Get out of here. Now. And take that pissant hotel guard with you.”

He stood straighter. At his full height, he towered over Ranjeet. “Or what?”

Ranjeet’s mouth formed an awful smile. He moved the pistol away from Thomas’ head. “Or I shoot Arjun.”

The road to love, even with Mademe Eve’s help is not always easy, but it is worth it! Luckily both Arjun and Thomas recognize the value of the chance they’ve been given and get on the love train with one-way tickets!

Lover Enslaved: 24 Hours in Mumbai releases January 31^st – just three weeks away!

In the meantime, enjoy the cover. I’ll be back soon with more…
