What Happens in Vegas....

 by Kayleigh Malcolm  

  What happens in Vegas. Stays in Vegas.

Everyone has heard of Sin City’s cardinal rule. I wonder how many people really do take it to heart and go crazy.

The first book in my Sin City Clique is out today. It's a series revolving around 5 women who have been friends since middle school. They were the freaks in the back of the school bus who became life-long friends.

As the years have passed they have made a point to get together on a yearly basis. This time they all met in Las Vegas with every intention to follow through on their fantasies. Each of them have a hidden fantasy that they are going to explore this weekend and Madam Eve has helped them meet the perfect man…or should I say men. They do have a common fantasy about bisexual men.

I had a lot of fun getting to know each of these incredible ladies and I’m looking forward to introducing them to you over the coming year.

 Have you been to Vegas before? Would you do something really crazy there if you knew it would stay a secret?

Rolling in Sin blurb:

An exciting weekend in Sin City with her friends is just what Audrey needs. Living a mundane, repetitive life in a data entry job and having major body insecurities have held her back from pursuing her deepest fantasies. A trip to Vegas with her best friends might be her chance for a single night of memories to last her for the rest of her life.
   Max and Geoff are lovers well known in high-rolling poker games. Spontaneity and exhibitionism brought them together, but now they want a woman to share their lives with. Hopefully, Madame Eve can find them a woman open to their fetishes who isn’t more interested in their money than them.
   Audrey is the physical embodiment of everything they desire in a woman. Lush, gorgeous and intelligent. One night isn’t going to be enough with her, but can they convince her to stay?
   It doesn’t take long for Audrey to realize she’s way over her head with the gorgeous gamblers. They actually think she’s sexy and desirable. Not only that, they want to share their lives with her! Can she set aside her insecurities and spend her life with them?

Top Ten for the Sunset series

by C.R. Moss

Hello everyone! Thank you for popping in to the decadent1nightstand blog today and giving my post a read. I’m here sharing ten tidbits of information you may not have known about me, my series for the 1NS series or about Las Vegas. Enjoy!

1. How did I end up writing for the 1NS series? Years ago, I went to a convention and met the lovely ladies of Decadent Publishing. While a group of us were sitting around and talking, information about Decadent’s 1NightStand line of books came up. The concept sounded interesting, and I told them I’d send in a story.

2. What was my inspiration? My first 1NS story, Sunset Desires, was inspired by my love of sunsets and a trip to Grand Cayman. When I heard about Decadent’s 1NS series, I was excited to apply this story to their line and am so happy to be a part of the series now.

3. Do your stories take place in Las Vegas? All four stories have a connection and some time is spent in the city. My second Sunset story, Sunset Seduction, takes place fully in my home city of Las Vegas.

4. If some of the stories only take place partly in Las Vegas, what are the other settings? For Sunset Desires, the story mainly takes place in Grand Cayman. The setting of Sunset Temptations and Sunset Heat is at a Mt. Charleston hotel that’s located on the way up to the Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort. (Yes, there’s a ski resort here! See? An interesting little fact J

5. Do you use real life experiences in your stories? I get ideas from everywhere…conversations, news headlines, television, songs, etc.. On occasion I’ve been known to pull from my old careers and the people I’ve known, using samples of their personalities for characters and information I’ve gleaned from jobs to assist with subject matter. I also love infusing interesting tidbits about the places I’ve lived in and visited into my stories.

6. Why sunsets? I’ve seen some beautiful sunsets in my travels and while living in Las Vegas and wanted to feature them in my stories.

7. Who are the heroines? The ‘Sunset’ series follows four female relatives—Gwen, Heather, Ivy and Seana—on their dating adventures.

8. What if a character came to the real world and spent a day with a reader? If Seana Tramonto, from the story Sunset Heat, were to appear, she’d show the reader the fabulous city she lives in, take him or her to the Smith Center—a theater—and the Springs Preserves (http://www.springspreserve.org/), and they'd have some spa time to relax and get grounded again.

9. Why are roses used in the Sunset books? Well, there are a number of reasons, but one of them is that my characters use the sunset-colored rose as a family symbol. To learn why, you’ll have to read my books. ;)

10. My favorite rose is the Osiria Rose. It’s deep red from the inside, and from outside, it’s silver-white in color, giving the flower a two tone color scheme. If you do an online search for that rose, you can find images of it. It’s like the tips of a white rose were dipped in blood, then dried to achieve the rich darkness of the red. Quite lovely.

Sunset Temptations

Contemporary, erotic romance, GLBT/gay/bisexual, ménage

Can wishes come true in just one night?

Roommates, Ivy Tramonto and Kiran Emerson, are heading out for their blind dates set up through a prestigious matchmaking service. Neither know anything about the men they're to meet at a charity event being held in a mountain resort, but they're looking forward to the adventure and forgetting about all their problems for an evening.

Resort owner, Robert Bourbon, doesn't have time to play the field, especially when he wants a polyamorous relationship. After requesting the services of Madame Eve, he's matched with the perfect pair and believes life can't get any better.

Everything seems to be going great, until a mistake one of them made comes back to haunt them. Will they make it through the dilemma or will they miss out on having their true desires granted?

Sunset Temptations ~ Excerpt

“You know you can always tap me.”

“True. But don’t you want to change things up? Experience something, someone different for once?”

“Yeah, that’s why I suggested finding a third for our arrangement. Spice up our routine.”

“I’d be all for it, but considering neither of us has found said person yet, I’m going to take what I can get through this date my cousin set up for me.”

“So am I.” He smiled, his straight, white teeth gleaming and his olive-toned skin shining in the golden glow of the afternoon sun. “Don’t worry. I’m not gonna cramp your style. I have my own person to meet up at the lodge.”

She loved her handsome, bisexual friend, and as long as he was on his own date, that meant he wouldn’t attempt to put the moves on hers. “Well, I guess it’s okay then. Get in the car. You can tell me all about whoever has invited you to the event on the way to pick up Seana.”

“Technically I haven’t met him yet.”

Processing his statement, she climbed into the driver’s seat. “What do you mean you haven’t met him yet?” She pulled out of their apartment complex and headed in the direction of her cousin’s place.

Kiran’s gaze darted everywhere, never landing on her. “Um…. I signed up with 1Night Stand, and tonight’s my date, too.”

Ivy stopped herself from slamming on the brakes. “Where did you get the money to pay for the service? Huh? I know you’re as broke as I am. We’ve lost our jobs. We’re losing our rental. If you had cash stashed somewhere, we could have used it for a new apartment lease. I know you want—”

“You’re rambling.” He placed a hand on her shoulder and squeezed. “I want a partner. You’ve always understood that.” Her roommate released her, shifted in his seat, then played with a frayed string on his jeans. “Most of the guys I’ve met are self-centered assholes who don’t have sense enough to treat their significant other right. I’d like to meet a nice man, for once. When I emailed Madame Evangeline at 1Night Stand and told her I was a friend of yours and Heather’s, she was happy to accommodate me. That’s why she arranged for my night to be the same one as yours and Seana’s.”

“And the money?”

Silence rolled thick from the other seat. Her instincts screamed trouble.

“Kiran?”

He cleared his throat. “Well….”

She’d seen and heard this nervousness from him before. That time he’d gotten into a little trouble with some bad dudes. Could he have done so again? She shot a quick glance at him. His skin seemed on the pale side. Her sixth sense dinged. “Oh no. You didn’t.”

One Cowboy + One Cowboy + One Hula Dancer = Oh My!

 By Starla Kaye

I can’t claim to be the most athletic or the most coordinated woman in the world. But I will give many things a shot to test my limited abilities. One of those things that has interested me is hula dancing. It looks so smooth, so easy to do. And sexy, like something to do with your lover or for your lover. Okay, my version, leaves a whole lot to be desired.

In case you’ve ever been intrigued about learning to dance the hula, here are some helpful links:

Monkey See: How to Hula Dance videos   http://bit.ly/1DYrZRp

Now, you’re probably thinking how does the subject of hula dancing possibly apply to one of my stories? Well, it does.

I love writing stories about cowboys, particularly if I can make them suffer in some way…”fun” suffering, that is. In Cowboy Dreamin’ I had not only one cowboy to tease and torment, but two! I enjoyed taking them away from their comfort zone, their ranch, and taking them to Maui.

Kendra Barlow has far too much on her daily plate. She’s a businesswoman and she volunteers as a Tahitian dancer with some friends. A love life…impossible. Until her best friend gets involved. Until Madame Eve and her famous 1 Night Stand service gets involved. Learning about Kendra’s secret fantasy of spending a night with a cowboy, Madame Eve goes above and beyond. She grants her such a night, with a bonus: two hunky cowboys.

Here’s a peek into Kendra’s reaction to knowing she is about to perform her dance in front of the men she has been set up with:

She paced across the small room again, fluffing the sides of her grass skirt again. “First impressions are a big deal, you know. And here I’ll be shimmying my ass around wearing a pink skirt made of fake grass and bouncing my boobs in a dumb coconut shell bra.”

To her disgust, Alexis laughed. “They’ll think themselves the luckiest cowboys in the world.”

And how do my cowboys react to seeing her?

The dancers did a sexy little hip-swishing spin. He swallowed and stifled a shudder. Sweat beaded on his upper lip. No doubt she affected every other man in the area. A glance at Carson told him his good buddy sure was under her spell.

He reached for his beer and chugged the rest of it, hoping it would cool him down. It didn’t. As he focused on the woman in the pink skirt again, he thought his poor old heart would beat itself to death. She had more wiggle to those amazing hips than any of the others. Those shells were working darn hard to contain her tempting breasts. And her smile…. God, he’d never seen one so….

Christmas in Castle, Alaska

   Once upon a time there was a beautiful lodge in the wilds of Alaska. You cannot drive there; there aren’t any highways that reach so far into the wilderness. You can take a boat, in the warm weather, or a bush plane anytime, and the residents of the nearby town, Castle. The town is either named after Castle Lodge or Castle Lodge is named after the town, nobody knows for sure. But what they do know is that it’s worth the effort to get there for the amazing holiday celebrations I hope you’ll take the chance to stop by and visit with the residents of this amazing place and share their wintery wonderland.

   Because we have excellent news! You can now get there by train! And at this time of year the journey is all about Christmas! The dining car serves a feast of holiday favorites, turkey, ham, prime rib, and Yorkshire pudding! The conductor will bring eggnog and cookies to your seat and lead you in carols. 

   By the time you arrive at the Lodge, you will be ready for the Christmas Eve ball. Rumor has it that Madame Eve herself has been there…but you know how rumors can be. For now, Lauren, Jorell, and Zachary await your reading pleasure as they share how Madame Eve, 1Night Stand, and the magic of Castle Alaska intervened to bring joy to three lonely people in a single night that turned out to be much more than they could have ever expected

However you celebrate the holidays, I wish you love, kindness, abundance and above all magic.

Kate Richards

Blurb:

   Lauren is in trouble. Only the adoption agency lady knows the heartbreaking decision she’s making. But every baby deserves a father and Lauren’s ex isn’t stepping up to the plate. Without a dad for her child, Lauren doesn’t feel she can give her baby what he or she deserves. When her mother sends her to the Castillo resort in Castle, Alaska to help with a holiday celebration, Lauren jumps at the chance to forget her worries.

   Jorell’s career is soaring. In charge of development for the Castillo Resorts Caribbean region, the only thing on his mind is pursuing a vice presidency. Not romance. But a forced transfer to the frozen north throws him—and his prospects off-kilter.

   Zachary lives near Castle, Alaska, but the fishing guide has had little success finding a social life and fears his interest in both men and women may be too wild for the wilderness.

  Two men and one pregnant woman…in charge of the holiday activities at the Christmas Extravaganza at Castle Lodge. Friendship and intense attraction blooms between them. But Madame Eve has her work cut out for her…will Jorell and Zach provide enough reasons for Lauren to change her mind?

Excerpt:

   Lauren,

Your aunt and uncle love you very much and, as a special Christmas gift, they allowed me to arrange a unique evening for you. Your date will meet you at the large cabin behind the lodge, for a night you will never forget.

   Madame Eve

   Perfect. Might as well get it over with—although it would have been simpler to give the guy the slip in the coffee shop or another public area. Kathryn and Nick met through Madame Eve and shared a world-class romance, even now that they were married and parents. Sweet looks, private jokes, stolen kisses…everything any girl could want. She stuffed the paper into her bodice with a sigh.

   But she’d already set her course and, if it weren’t for her previous poor judgment and the fact that she’d already fallen hard for two men who had eyes only for each other, it could indeed be a night to remember. Instead, she cut through the gleaming kitchen, smiling at the late night staffers, and out the back door. A light beamed from the front window of the cabin where, according to Andie, she’d spent her first night with her true loves. For just a second an image flashed through her mind—of Jorell and Zach, their nude white and mocha bodies in a four-poster bed, arms outstretched to her in invitation.

   But the single tear froze on her cheek along with her dreams as she plodded up the path to the cabin and lifted her hand to the door.

   It jerked open, and she gasped. Christmas music poured out on a gust of warm, pine-scented air. A tall spruce decked for the holidays glittered in a corner. Low laughter from somewhere near the flickering flames of the fireplace did not come from the auburn-bearded man who greeted her in the open doorway. It came from Jorell.

   And Zach’s hand was the one that tugged her inside, when her feet became one with the doorstep. Lauren’s heart thudded so loud in her ears, it drowned out the Carol of the Bells. Her hopes rose to the high rafters then crashed down when she realized….

   “I’m so sorry to interrupt your evening. I must be at the wrong cabin.” And she’d be going back to her room after that, date be darned.

Kate Richards Bio:

Kate Richards divides her time between Los Angeles and the High Sierras. She would gladly spend all her days in the mountains, but she’d miss the beach…and her very supportive husband’s commute would be three hundred miles. Wherever she is, she loves to explore all different kinds of relationships in her stories. She doesn’t believe one-size-fits-all, and whether her characters live BDSM, ménage, GLBT or any other kind of lifestyle, it’s the love, the joy I one another, that counts.
