Month: April 2014

Well, here it is! The reveal of the cover for my m/m contemporary romance, TAKEOVER! It’ll be out August 19th.

Here’s the blub:

Michael Sebastian thought Curacao would be the perfect place to have a little fun in the sun—and between the sheets. So far, no one has struck his interest, until Sam Anderson walks into the bar. With one look at his tense body and expensive suit, Michael knows that this is a man in need of release. And Michael is more than willing to lend a hand.

Shattered by the most intense sex he’s ever had, Sam has to face the facts—one night with a handsome, dominating stranger is all he gets before returning to the closet he’s been suffocating in for years. But when Sam starts his new job as the CEO of a failing technology company, he discovers that Michael is one of his new employees.

While Michael is desperate for another night with Sam, he knows he shouldn’t get involved with his boss, let alone another man who can’t accept who he is. But as they’re forced to work together to save the company, the desire sparking between them becomes impossible to ignore…

As you may have gathered, TAKEOVER is an office romance. Which means suits. Lovely, lovely suits.

Well here, take a look:

And the city is my very own Pittsburgh, where the majority of the novel takes place. In fact, you can aaaaaaaalmost see where I work in that photo. You can see where Michael and Sam work! And the Ft. Duquesne Bridge, which they walk over at one point.

I love it! Men! Pittsburgh! My name spelled correctly! What more could an author ask for?

So what do you think?

Got the lovely higher resolution cover image for TAKEOVER from Berkley InterMix! And yeah, that was worth waiting for. It’s much sharper and prettier and you’ll be able to click to embiggen and all that. I’ll share it tomorrow.

But since you stopped by tonight, here’s a tiny little snippet from TAKEOVER:

He chuckled. “Do you know how long it’s been since anyone has bought me a drink? Or tried to pick me up?”

The tingling in Michael’s spine spread to his arms and legs, and down into his balls. “I’m not trying to pick you up.”

The suit stared at him.

He slid his fingers over the finely tailored fabric covering the man’s thigh and let his hand rest on the inside, near the knee. “I’ve already succeeded in that.”

See you tomorrow!

 

The DayJobbe ate my brain today…and Berkley is going to get me a higher resolution cover for the reveal, so I’m delaying the cover reveal until I that.

Sorry to be such a tease!

(Well, not that much. I love teasing. But I promise I’ll put out soon.)

So I was sitting at the DayJobbe this morning and thinking, “You know what I’d love to see? Cover art for TAKEOVER. That would rock.” Yeah, the book’s not out until August 19th, but still…nothing makes a book seem real like cover art.

And then halfway through the day, I got the email with the cover art. Because apparently the universe liked me today!

It’s NIIIICE. Every time I look at it, I love it a little more!

Come back on Monday, and I’ll show you!

In the meantime, here’s the blurb for TAKEOVER:
