TEMPT THE DEVIL

Avon Books, January 2009

Blurb ~

For Olivia Raines, London's most notorious courtesan, and the infamous Julian Southwood, Earl of Erith falling in love will be the greatest risk of all in this wicked and wild romance from Anna Campbell.

Any man in London would worship her. Yet Olivia is, quite frankly, bored of them all. Despite her many dalliances, she's never felt true passion, never longed for any lover's touch . . . until Julian, London's most notoriously wanton rake, decides to make her his mistress.

From the moment he first sees her, Julian knows he must possess her. And when he discovers her greatest secret, a scandal that could ruin her reputation and end her career, he knows just the way to use this damaging information to his most delightful advantage. He offers Olivia a deal with the devil: he'll keep her secret . . . if she allows him the chance to show her true ecstasy.

But Olivia must be careful, for Julian has a secret of his own: he will not rest until she is completely, shamelessly his.

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~

Happy Valentine’s Day... courtship on another Earth

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Silva and Zeke’s story continues...

Part 50 ~

Sylva raised on her tiptoes and slid her palms up his chest, as he took her lips in a long slow kiss. God, he had her panting on the inside. Even though, she kissed him with her own impassioned enthusiasm, it was him dominantly taking her mouth, him making her feel like an exquisite shivery furnace. The only interruption in her pleasure were her sneaky thoughts. Wife, what did it mean here? Was she expected to bear a slew of children, become the happy homemaker? Sylva let herself go mindless, reveling in his virile sexy chest. His tender plundering kiss.

Zeke mentally hogtied his cock. This was a time for wooing kisses, for luring his bride toward their pleasures, and toward their future together. Her little hands stroking over his chest, was sweetness itself. He already knew she could touch him the way he wanted, the way that drove him crazier than sin and whiskey combined. Embracing her fully, he circled caresses over her lower back. She whimpered into their kiss, looping her arms around his neck. Her delectable breasts flattened against his chest and he groaned into their kiss. Tightening his embrace, Zeke captured the swell of her hips.

Sail on the Romance Rebel Ship

Sail on the Romance Rebel Ship...my Beautiful Big Cats. The Kougar has paw-created another blogspot ~ romancerebelship.blogspot.com ~ to showcase her literary triumphs...dry martini meow, right.

Roaring however, the Kougar is providing a reclining spot for excerpts and info on her sizzle e-novels from Siren Publishing, All Shades of Blue Paradise, and from Liquid Silver Books, Red Lioness Tamed.

Consider-purr, the new blogosphere ship is a claw-continuing work in progress since the Kougaress only possesses so much time, quantum time excluded ~ and only so much brain power, cosmic eternal connection excluded, also ~ to complete her author mission.

And thus, the Kougar is worn to fragile today...so ends her announcement rumblings.

On Title Magic, the return of Anna Campbell, author of Claiming the Courtesan...you will savoring enjoy...moi's meowing...

Anna, late to the awards party. So excited to be here now. Oh, that necessary shopping thing! I definitely check out the award-winning books. But, it has to sell me after I pick it up. What the story is about, other than romance, of course. And the writing style of the author.
Luv award ceremonies when it's for a friend. The Oscars have become too extreme for my taste, recently. But, oh, I used to euphoria-tingle over the gowns and the glam.
Hello and welcome to all the Banditas.
Anna, you need a boost, an e-mail hug when you're slogging over that next fantabulous story -- yep, I'll remind you how wonderful you are.

Romance Rebel kisses from the Kougar...

Holiday Hugs to Anna, Australian Romance Author

Holiday Big Kitties (in smaller domestic form), are you tangled in strings of sparkling lights? Your personal let's-be-merry imitation of a fun ball of yarn? Is that bright red ornament out of your clawing reach, or has it crashed to the floor, your prey now a triumph of tiny metallic pieces. Have you managed to victoriously topple that out-of-place tree while righteously launching yourself toward all the winged creatures, especially the one top. After all, aren't all angels supposed to be Cats? And those silly stars, glittering like the eyes of a yummy warm-blooded meal, well, who can resist that planning crouch, the fierce leap and final paw grab? And aren't all stars just heaven's beloved Cats shining their light benevolently upon the tiny Earth?
Yes, it's a Merry Catmas, a time for lavish use of claws and fangs, yes, a time to rip and shred the package wrappings into environmentally friendly scraps. Mother Earth must be served, after all, you smiling, tail swishing say, while sitting contentedly before the christmas red, but not merry face of your human.

Hey, Big Beautiful Cats, stroll on over to Title Magic for a wonderful and inspiring blog by Anna Campbell, a romance author from down under, Australia, where *loudly purring moi* would luv to prowling visit one day, when accidentally ending up on a terrorist list is a thing of the past. One of the most exciting meows about Anna's blog is the inside, behind-the-scenes look at what writers endure, how we, and she, persevere for our sacred calling.
Below is *smiling purr* moi's comment:

Hi Anna, your contest experiences and life experiences toward becoming published, are truly inspiring. Contests as I look back are like the first line of my wip -- curses or in this case, contests were strange beasts of irony, at least, as I've experienced them. I spent one year, 1999, doing nothing but entering every romantic chapter contest I could. The result, other than the absolutely fascinating and useful critiques, was a first place, a second place and a third place, all different stories. One thing I definitely gained was a new level of discipline, and a much better understanding of what was commercial and what was not in the world of romance writing. One judge so luved my entry she wrote me several personal gushing pages. I cried and cried. That same entry got one 'ten' in the Golden Heart that year, the highest at the time. Although, I absolutely love this novel, it may never see the published light of day because it is written in a style most readers won't enjoy. So it goes. But it kept me writing. Another great keep-me-on-track through Hades and back was a judge who wrote my opening prose of a dream the hero was having 'was pure genius and not to touch it'. So I never have changed it, another novella I luv, but may not get published. All this rambling, the point being, as you've expressed, there is tremendous value in the contest experience. Certainly, that is true for the American Title IV, which has opened several doors even though I was out the first round. I will say my experience of contests in 1999 and the ones I entered a couple of years ago, is different in that the critiques were much harsher and very limited in their writer vision. Why? I don't know. But I figured, I might as well get rejected by real publishers, rather than worry about chapter contests anymore. Which has proven to be a valuable strategy for me. Anna, thanks so much, you have given us the gift of your presence, the gift of your experience and the most important gift, your writing. Luv your website! Holiday Hugs!
