Here's a sexy little sneak peek. ***18+ only***

His mouth skimmed along her neck, licking, kissing. Goose bumps rose over her skin. He nipped the side of her jaw and she jerked. A shiver shook her. He was so unpredictable – so dangerous. And she’d never been more turned on.

“Did you put a spell on me, little witch?” he rasped in her ear. “Am I yours?”

Mine? God I want to say yes! She could barely find her voice. “Something tells me you’re not the type to belong to anybody.”

He leaned his forehead against hers. “I’m beginning to doubt that.”

He tilted her back again and this time he pulled down the zipper on her vest. Not all the way, just enough to expose her cleavage. She’d taken her bra off when she tried it on. A few more inches and her breasts would be exposed.

She should stop him. She really should stop him.

He kissed the top of each mound and she sagged against him, her will overtaken by her libido. Then he looked into her eyes.

“I want you.” His declaration was so packed with need she almost whimpered.

What would it be like to be taken by such a strong, demanding male? Would she regret it if she said no? The hand in her pants moved lower…under her cheeks…between her legs. She gasped when he touched her there. Could he feel how wet she was? Fire raced through her veins. Then he took her mouth. And there was no gentleness about him. His lips moved recklessly against hers, pressing her backward. His hands moved from her pants and cupped the back of her head, holding her in place. Though it was only their second kiss, he tasted so familiar. He nipped at her bottom lip, demanding entrance. His tongue plunged into her mouth as he sucked hers into his.

Then she knew the meaning of possession.

Also, I announced last week that 10% of my royalties on Destiny Bewitched for the opening weekend will go to the charity Operation Smile - a non-profit that repairs cleft lip/palate in 3rd world countries. I'm doing this in honor of my son, who was born with the same condition.

Six Sentence Sunday!

Destiny Bewitched releases in less than two weeks!!! Here's a sexy sample!

Instead of taking her nipples in his mouth, he released her hair and slid his hands down her arms. He took a step back. “I like to be in charge.” It sounded like a threat.

“In the bedroom too?”

“Especially in the bedroom.”

Mmmm... Curious what they're up to next? Destiny Bewitched will be available on all e-readers June 22nd for only $2.99!!!

 

Operation Smile

Six years ago my son was born.

He was a beautiful baby with silky black hair and golden skin. And, like 1 in 1,000 children in the US, he was born with cleft lip/palate.

We are very lucky to live in America where doctors and hospitals and specialists aren't hard to find. But in many countries, families don't have that luxury.

Operation Smile is a non-profit organization that sends doctors, surgeons, and specialists to remote locations in the world to fix children who've been ostracized in their communities. It's a cause dear to my heart and we've donated before as a family. 

www.operationsmile.org/

But now I'm bringing this to you. I'm sending 10% of my opening weekend sales for Destiny Bewitched to Operation Smile.

If you buy Destiny Bewitched the weekend of June 22nd, you''ll be helping to donate to this cause. So please keep that in mind and I'll have more reminders on social media when it gets closer. 

And last, but not least...

Happy Birthday to my little boy!

Introducing the First Member of the Leia Shaw Team!

I'm so excited to announce the newest (and, yeah, first) member of my team!

Publicist Heidi!

Already she's been hard at work helping me get ready for the release of Destiny Bewitched, June 22nd. But to get to know her, she's provided a bio below.

If you'd like to contact her for any reason, email heidi@leiashaw.com. 

Please make her feel welcome by leaving a comment below!

Bio:

I have been a fan of all things paranormal since I was seven and used to sneak out of bed and watched all the old horror movies. I always identified with the 'monster' and felt bad for them. I remember crying because Dracula never, ever got to keep the woman. I discovered my love of reading at the same age.

My first series was...wait for it...Heidi by Johanna Spyri. People don't realize that there are several books in the series. I am an avid, feral reader. Before I was ten, I discovered a love of series of books, Black Beauty, Little Women, Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew to name a few. (I think I am dating myself there). I also read the phone book and a complete set of the Britannica encyclopedia.

Everything changed in 1988 when I borrowed a copy of Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice at the library. I was hooked. Soon I discovered Laurell K. Hamilton and Christine Feehan in the early 1990's. Imagine my happiness over finding out that the monsters got to keep the girl!

During that time, I had married my husband in 1986 after dating him for three months. When he left the military shortly there after, I followed him to South Carolina and became and instant southern belle. In 1987 I had Dena and in 1989, Allison. I have to say I am proud that every member of my family, on any given day, has a book that they are currently reading (yes, my husband reads daily). My youngest got her first library card at  six months old. Being a young, poor family, we spent hours every Saturday at the library. It was some of the best times of my life. My kids are exceptionally smart and I may have the only child EVER that the principal told that they could not read instead of play at lunch and recess time. She told me that in 27 years of being a teacher/principal that she had never had to do. She was in the 4th grade.

In 2005, I stumbled on erotic literature. Another door opened, that let me explore a whole new aspect of life. Kids were grown, husband and I were still young at 40 and 38. During all of this, I had gone to college at the age of 33 and majored in accounting and business. I worked in CPA offices for 10 years until a dramatic life change brought me to where I am today. I look forward to starting a whole new career as I stare down the big 50.


Thanks Heidi and welcome aboard!

Cover Reveal - 31 Flavors of Kink

In one month, my contemporary BDSM erotic romance with co-author Cari Silverwood releases from Loose ID!!!

It's called 31 Flavors of Kink and it releases July 3rd in all e-book formats!

What do you think of the cover? It's beautiful, isn't it?

There are some things in life you have to try before you know how they will affect you.
After 5 years of awful sex, I was ready. Bondage and spanking had always featured in my fantasies, and one day, I convinced my husband to try them. That day was a turning point.

Ice cream comes in many flavors and that’s us too -- not vanilla, maybe not Rocky Road either. We can be a combination or make up our own and no one has the right to judge us. But there will always be one question that tears at my soul: Will my husband, Nick, ever be happy with what I crave?


***Note: this is a re-release of previous title, 31 Flavors.

 Cristian, werewolf pack alpha, and Natalia, vampire assassin, have an interesting start to their relationship. Poison arrow, snapped neck, tied to trees...you know, the usual ;)

He shook his head slowly, disapproval written all over his face. “You’ve got a lot of nerve. Here you are, tied up with my rope, in my territory, and you’re mouthing off?”

“Nerve, I have an abundance of. What I don’t have is my weapons.”

“Nor will you get them. Did you forget you tried to kill me?”

“You started it.”
