Last year (2014) shortly after my mother had passed away, I had scheduled a trip to San Francisco Bay Area to attend a writing workshop but to also have a retreat with my critique group. While at the retreat, I read about the Lobster Cove series of books my publisher, The Wild Rose Press, and I wanted to see if I could come up with a story that would fit.
So my critique group and I started talking about it. Within a few hours, I had a basic plot and synopsis. And so did one of my critique partners. We kept refining and then together we sent in our synopsis to see if we could get a spot in the series.
We both did. That was one of the really fun things about the Lobster Cove series, it covers all the lines the Wild Rose Press has. So from contemporary, to suspense, to the erotic. We all had a shot. And because me and one of my critique partners got in on it at the beginning we were able to help shape the town and be part of the brainstorming for the town.
Here's an excerpt from Red Club Temptation:
Time to find out if she was a
Domme or sub. This time when their gazes met and held, he mouthed the word
“Obey.” Her gaze dropped. He sucked in a breath. Damn, she was a submissive.
And just what he needed. He couldn’t help himself as he strode across the room.
Caleb stopped when he was
within touching distance, and her gaze never rose from the floor. Excitement stirred in his spine for the first
time in a long time.
“Hello,” he said.
"Good evening, Sir.” Her voice was soft but calm, eyes still
downcast.
He cupped her
chin and tilted her head up. “Look at me, sweetheart, I want to see your eyes.”
Hazel eyes to
go with beautiful red hair. He loved
looking into the eyes of his subs, unless of
course he had them blindfolded, and then he would 7 make them use other
senses.
“Are you available?” He glanced
at her wrist. No band. He’d been told anyone with a black band was off limits.
“Excuse me?” a male voice
intruded.
Caleb’s gaze left her to see
one of the dungeon masters standing next to them. “You’re needed in the other
room, Red.”
Her spine stiffened, and she
lifted her chin out of Caleb’s hold. “Thanks, Ryan. I’ll be right there.”
Ryan nodded and gave Caleb
the once over 18 before disappearing into the private club area.
“Sorry, but I have to go.”
“I understand, but first.” He
cupped her cheeks and brushed a kiss across her soft lips. She leaned into him
when he released her mouth. “I’ll be here if you want to play later.” He
released her and stepped back.
Her fingers touched her lips and
then she smiled. “I might take you up on that.” Then she strode away hips
swaying.
Caleb and Jessie are reunited old friends who now can pursue their passions together.
And if you want to read more in the Lobster Cove series you can go here to see all the books.
