It’s 2016!  Thank goodness.  Looking back over my pages, 2015 was not my best effort.  No excuses, just bad scheduling!  But it’s a new year – I have a fair amount of reorganizing to do on this blog, but more importantly, this is the year to finish the unfinished goodies that have been driving me batty for weeks if not months. Take a look:




Fun, right?  All of these are in some state of “somewhat done” to “nearly done” to “polish, polish, polish.” And they don’t include the Regency series I started last year as well!  So, my New Year’s resolutions are as follows:

  1. Update the site!
  2. An excerpt for you all every single week.
  3. Publish, publish, publish!

Hope your year is productive and full of sexy, wonderful reads you just can’t put down! I’m going to stock up on energy bars and coffee and get to it.  Stop by tomorrow for an excerpt!

The best laid plans…

I had to push BEWITCH ME MORE a few days – family drama intrudeth!  However, it’s all settled now, and I’m looking forward to bringing you hot and witchy fun next week, just in time for Halloween!  I’ll toss up an excerpt in the next couple of days as well.

Here are the titles of the new stories included in BEWITCH ME MORE to whet your appetite!

BAD CANDY- A single mom takes the neighborhood warlock to task for his poor Halloween spirit, but gets caught up in naughty magical fun with him and the sexy spirit creature he accidentally conjured up.

SUGAR & SPICE – When a feisty reporter tries to seduce her way into a VIP Halloween party, the warlock bouncer she’s been flirting with has finally had enough and decides it’s time to give in to temptation and teach them both a lesson about seduction.

THE MAGIC HOUR – A mortal’s attempt to seduce his sexy, workaholic witch boss is hampered by the re-appearance of her trollish (literally!) ex-boyfriend.

ALL HALLOW’S EVE – Upon realizing that his succubus ex-girlfriend has hidden herself away from the world after a trauma, a sorcerer tracks her down to convince her to give herself and them another chance.

I can’t wait to hear what you all think!  I’ll have an updated release date after the weekend.

xoxo

Hello, my beloved readers!

I’m sure you’ve noticed I’ve been completely absent here lately.  Apologies – life got in the way, and I had to just step back and deal with it.  But I’m happy to be back and hope to pick up where I left off!

Right now, I’m up to my ears trying to finish SAFE FROM THE STORM, which is so close, I can taste it (and how does it taste?  HOT!!!  Is that TMI? LOL…)

To get your summer off to a good start, here’s one of my favorite summer shorts to read over your lunch break, or on the subway, or when you desperately need to get away from the other inhabitants of the house.  May we all have sexy anthropologists and tropical beaches in our lives.

Playing Hooky - SMALLThanks for sticking with me – there are some great stories coming up this year and I can’t wait to share them with you!

xoxo,

Lily

SPICY HALLOWEEN EXCERPT from Bewitch Me!

31 Thursday Oct 2013

Posted by LilyRede in Collections, Excerpts

≈ 2 Comments

Happy Halloween dear readers!!!  Today’s a day for candy and spice, so here’s a little naughty magical sweetness to get your holiday started off right!  A somewhat spicy excerpt from the Bewitch Me collection, from the title story.

Bewitch Me is Available Now!!!

Mmmm…now I need some caramel.

Bewitch Me - SMALL

EXCERPT from BEWITCH ME:

TRENT ENTERED THE LOBBY with trepidation, but everything looked normal. Still, he hurried to check his mailbox and press the button for the elevator, his stomach churning with anxiety as it had for the last three weeks, his cock still hard and demanding his attention. Three weeks ago, the management company had opened up the available units to members of a heretofore unheard of magical community.

It was shock enough that creatures from fairytales and nightmares actually existed and were running around the city, sometimes in disguise and sometimes not. It was worse that now they were going to be living in Trent’s beautiful, hundred-year-old building, the place he’d loved at first sight, with its Old World character and prime location. For the most part, the newcomers kept to themselves, and Trent had to admit that the techie elves down the hall seemed like good guys, but that didn’t mean that he wanted to become drinking buddies or swap recipes with them. He was still worried about the towering man with the greenish tint that had been referred to him as a “half-troll.”

WTF.

And of course, there was the witch.

She didn’t look like a witch, and he’d had no idea when he helped the voluptuous, raven-haired piece of dynamite move in a few weeks ago that she was in fact a witch. Isabella Fiero. She said she was an artist. She looked like a walking fantasy, her bouncy black curls framing a face that was almost too cute to be believed. There was nothing cute about the rest of her. She might be tiny, but Isabella Fiero packed a punch. There wasn’t a flat spot on her – she was all lush curves and a sweet little waist and hips a man could hold onto while he sank into her heat. Her breasts would bounce no matter how he fucked her. It was quite a pleasant visual.

It had Trent having guilty second thoughts about his practical arrangement with Nicole.

And then Trent found out what she really was.

And that’s when the trouble began.

He’d been checking the mail that night when the glass front door opened.

Lucky dress.

He’d only seen her in jeans before, but Isabella dressed to kill was something else, and the simple black sheath that lovingly clung to her curves seemed unbearably exotic. Trent smiled.

“Hot date?”

“Gallery fundraiser. All those stuffy people with too much money and not enough taste, complimenting me on the ‘importance’ of my work. Blech.”

She rolled her eyes, opening the little mailbox and extracting a pile of envelopes.

“And they never feed you anything edible. I’m going to go upstairs, climb into my PJs, and eat an entire pizza.”

Isabella rifled absently through the envelopes, stopping on a fat, purple letter.

“Oh crap,” she said, as the thing started to vibrate.

“What’s the matter?” asked Trent.

Isabella dove for the elevator button, trying to hide the bouncing purple envelope.

“Nothing. Fucking elevator. Come on!”

Suddenly, the letter surged out of her hands in a shower of sparks, nearly taking Trent’s head off as it zoomed by.

“Get down!” shouted Isabella, pushing him to the ground, as –

WHOOSH!

The letter exploded in a rush, and the lobby was suddenly festooned with flowers, sparklers, hundreds of balloons, and even little glowing butterflies that dropped glitter like rain.

Trent pulled himself to his feet, his jaw slack, his entire body covered in glitter.

“What the hell is going on?”

“Just my Aunt Minnie’s way of saying congrats on the new digs. It’s touch activated. She doesn’t understand human things like lobby mailboxes. I’m so sorry, are you okay?”

But Trent stumbled back when she tried to brush the glitter from his sleeve.

“What the fuck are you?”

He was shaken and shocked, but the hurt in her eyes still made him feel like a heel.

“I’m a witch,” she said quietly.

The elevator pinged open.

“Don’t worry about all this,” she continued, expressionless, “It’ll dissipate by morning.”

And she stepped into the elevator and disappeared.

Three weeks later, Trent was still finding glitter in intimate places, though the lobby was magically pristine the next morning. He’d avoided Isabella ever since, but they lived across the hall from each other, which made that somewhat impossible. Trent couldn’t stop thinking about her, worrying about what crazed witchy thing she was going to spring on him next, plagued with thoughts of broomsticks and toadstools.

But…his blood heated whenever he caught a glimpse of her, and two days ago, he headed out for a jog just in time to see her opening the door to find the paper, dressed only in a tight cami and worn little shorts. By the time he reached the elevator, Trent was hard as a rock.

And it wouldn’t go away.

How was a man supposed to concentrate on work, pre-nups, and marriage when he was basically a walking hard-on?  It was all her fault. She’d obviously cast some sort of spell on him, maybe as punishment for him looking so horrified when she announced that she was an unnatural mistake of Nature. OK, that was harsh, but the only images he had of witches were creepy, vindictive, and fictional. And now he could add crazed glitter bombers to his list of characteristics, but whatever.

He couldn’t stop thinking about her. He couldn’t sleep. His only moments of relief came when he caved to the urge to jerk off to images of sinking between her thighs, into her mouth, or her hand. Dropping his jacket and mail on the front table in his apartment, Trent looked down at the bulge in his pants and frowned. This couldn’t go on.

She has to make it stop.

Before he even realized it, he was out the door and across the hall, knocking firmly. He winced at the sight of the doormat that read, “Life’s a Witch,” and looked down the hallway, anxious. Trent had left his jacket inside, and the last thing he needed was one of the neighbors to see him sporting enough wood to build a log cabin. Trent frowned at the softly lit hallway.

When you marry Nicole, you’ll have to move.

It had occurred to him before, but now that it was imminent, the idea left a sour taste in his mouth. But there was no way Nicole would agree to live in a building like this. Trent was surprised at how sad that thought made him. He’d always appreciated its warmth and character.

The door opened, and Isabella’s eyes widened at the sight of him.

Trent scowled. She was in another cami and a pair of sleep shorts, no bra. His cock jerked.

“Do you always answer the door half-dressed?”

She started to answer, and then noticed his big, throbbing problem.

“Yeah,” he growled, “You’re going to take care of that.”

SNEAK PEEK and SPICY EXCERPT from BEWITCH ME!!!

12 Saturday Oct 2013

Posted by LilyRede in Collections, Excerpts

≈ Leave a comment

I can’t wait!  Here’s a sneak peek of my Halloween collection, BEWITCH ME, which I am going to finish up this weekend for you.  PASSION & PUMPKINS and MY FAIR HEX are available as single titles, of course, but I have three NEW hot Halloween stories to curl up with.

Below, blurbs for ENSORCELLED, THAT MAGIC TOUCH, and BEWITCH ME, and a semi-spicy excerpt from ENSORCELLED to get you going. 🙂

For some reason, all of these stories are witchy – I suppose that’s where my brain goes.  I was a witch for Halloween probably 90% of my childhood.  Go figure.  Happy reading and check back Monday!

Bewitch Me - SMALL

ENSORCELLED

Beautiful PR witch Felicia Dawes would do anything for her impulsive younger sister, but when Fae openly challenges Gavin Harcourt, the oh-so-sexy and powerful Head of the Council, even Felicia knows that she’s gone too far.  Desperate to save her little sister from banishment or worse, Felicia casts a love spell to stall the brooding warlock, but neither she nor Gavin are prepared for the consequences or the passion that flares between them.  When the magical dust settles, Felicia and Gavin are forced to face reality again, but will Fae’s transgression ruin their happily ever after?

PASSION & PUMPKINS

Third grade teacher Cass Webster is having a hard enough time dealing with her newly awakened witchy powers, but how’s a witch supposed to keep a level head when one sexy smile from Tom Owens sends her senses and her magic into overdrive?  When her attempt to save his award-winning pumpkins from disaster results in sparks, seduction, and a little magic, it’s up to Cass to set things to rights and convince a freaked-out Tom that falling for a witch may be the best Halloween treat of all!

THAT MAGIC TOUCH

Nursing a bruised ego and a slightly dented heart after her no-good ex-fiance cheated on her, Jane Fairhaven isn’t in the mood for a party, and would rather be anywhere other than catering a lavish corporate Halloween party for the Proctor law firm.  It’s tough enough to accept the existence of monsters, witches, and magic, but even harder to accept that Wes Proctor, the hot lawyer she’s been crushing on, is actually a powerful warlock.  When the party turns into a magical orgy, Jane finds herself trapped in a storage room with the blue-eyed hottie, who can’t seem to take her predicament seriously.  Can Wes persuade Jane that all she needs is a little magic to spice up her life and let her see the future instead of dwelling on the past?

MY FAIR HEX

Half-pixie Lea Gillingham is totally ready to quit.  She loves her job as assistant to the powerful Kirk Rhodes, but she’d throw it all away for one night of passion with the gorgeous but arrogant warlock. Unfortunately, Kirk has never been a one-woman warlock, and in any case, is completely oblivious.  Determined to seduce her maddening boss at the Halloween Ball, Lea disguises herself as a succubus, sure that Kirk will never know the truth.  But when Lea’s spell goes awry, Kirk starts to see his sexy assistant in a new light, and sets out to show her that he can change his ways and become a one-pixie man, no magic required.

BEWITCH ME

There goes the neighborhood.  Trent Langley is furious when his building goes magical, and the added chaos from warlocks, elves, and half-trolls taking up residence in his posh condo is enough to drive a man crazy.  If that weren’t enough, Trent is sure that the stunning witch across the hall has bewitched him – he can’t stop thinking about Isabella Fiero, though she denies any witchy meddling.  Isabella can’t help her attraction to her hot new neighbor, and though she hasn’t cast any spells, she can’t rule out the possibility that her magic may be luring him to her. When Trent demands answers, he and Isabella need to figure out if their white-hot chemistry is a magical glitch, or just natural attraction, impossible to deny.

EXCERPT FROM ENSORCELLED:

SHE KNEW.

The thought bounced around in Gavin’s head like a demented Jack-in-the-Box as he tried to process the idea.  She knew what she did to him.  She knew that she was his vulnerability, that given any weakness in his emotional armor, she could wriggle her way in and methodically destroy him from the inside out.  Because he couldn’t say no.  She was offering herself to him on a silver platter, and he couldn’t convince himself to turn her down.

Gavin steeled himself.

You can’t have her.  Scare her off before it’s too late.

She didn’t need his darkness, and if he had to banish Fae, she’d never speak to him again.  This situation had regret written all over it.

“Anything?” he asked, his voice harsh, and Felicia nodded, eyes wide.

Deliberately, Gavin let his eyes wander down her figure, lingering on the curves of her breasts, the womanly swell of her hips, and the juncture at the top of her thighs.  Felicia bit her lip but let him look, her fingers gripping the edges of his jacket.

Jeez, that dress is painted on.

“If I asked, would you strip for me?  Right here?” he growled.

A tiny inhalation, and then a nod.

Gavin’s cock jerked in his pants.

“Go to your knees and take my cock down your throat?”

“Yes,” breathed Felicia.

Gavin caught her involuntary swallow, as though she were picturing it, and nearly groaned aloud.

“So you’d fuck me on this rooftop to protect your sister?”

“Yes, I would.”

“What if I called my bodyguards up here and said I wanted you to spread your thighs so I could watch them fuck you?”

“You don’t share,” she gasped, but there was a trace of uncertainty, of fear in her voice, and Gavin couldn’t go on.

He could humiliate her, insult her, destroy her interest in him, but it might kill him in the process.

Eyes burning into hers, Gavin took her hand and pressed a kiss into the palm, savoring her shiver and the sweetness of her skin.

“Go home, Felicia,” he murmured, feeling lower than low as tears gathered in her green eyes.

Gavin couldn’t take it.  Turning, he reached for the door handle.

“Wait!  Gavin, stop!”

Gavin ignored Felicia’s desperate command.  He needed to get away from her before he did something monumentally stupid.  His body was tight with arousal, and the hunger he saw in her eyes only twisted the knife deeper – if he hadn’t been such a chicken shit and actually approached her the way he’d wanted to, they might have had something.  And now it was too late.

The rush of warm magic was a complete surprise, and Gavin barely had time to turn around before he felt it spread…heat and power, surging through his body in warm, seductive pulses.

“What did you do?!?” he gasped, his head falling back.

It felt like warm fingers were stroking every inch of his body.

Felicia stepped forward, her eyes worried.

“It’s just a little smitten spell.  I’m so sorry, Gavin.  But if you won’t let Fae go, I need some time to figure something out.  It’ll just make you starry-eyed for a little while, but the effects will wear off in time.”

Gavin groaned.  The warm fingers had morphed into searing hunger, and the only thing that mattered was getting as close to Felicia Dawes as possible.

Must touch.

She squeaked in surprise as he grabbed her and pressed her back against the wall, the feel of her body soothing and inflaming at the same time.

Much better, he thought.
