More about Danger up Close:

A helpful stranger or a deadly trap?

When Alice Layne doesn’t receive her daily phone call from her grandmother, she knows something is off. Finding her murdered on the kitchen floor, a butcher knife sticking out of her back, is horrifying enough. The note promising to do the same to her if she doesn’t give the psychopath a mysterious necklace is the icing on the cake. Before she can even get a chance to call the police Christian Jackson, her grandmother’s mysterious next-door neighbor swoops in and offers to help. Alice is tempted to rely on the big, brooding man, but is Christian a white knight or the sinister puppet master pulling the strings?

Christian learned early in life never to trust anyone. Love is for fools. That mantra has kept him alive. Until Maude Layne came into his world. She’d taken one look at his dirty, starving, ten-year-old self and given him a job at her corner grocery store. He’d known kindness and respect for the first time in his life. And now he’s making it his mission to avenge her death. He hadn’t counted on the beautiful Alice showing up and putting herself square in the crosshairs of the murderer. Ensuring her safety might just prove to be the easy part. Keeping his hands off her? Now that’s damned challenging.

Dirty Santa
Leather, lace, and mistletoe…

The shy and awkward Phoebe Martin is nothing like the women Dax normally dates. He enjoys them flirty and cooperative—and naked. But Phoebe’s buttoned-up attitude and disapproving glare turns him on. Go figure. When he overhears her agonizing over a work Christmas party—where she’s required to dress as an elf and bring a date—Dax steps up, more than eager to be her very own Santa.


Phoebe is fed up with aggressive men. She vows the next guy she dates will be the quiet, mild-mannered type. Someone who doesn’t give her ulcers. Is that so much to ask? Then the drool-worthy Dax Hale rides into her life on his sleek black motorcycle, sending her blood pressure skyrocketing. When he offers to be her escort for her boss’ holiday bash, Phoebe can’t say no. She needs him. But will Dax be her savior or her downfall?

Zadoc--Out Now!

Hi Readers,

Zadoc is here! The fourth book in my Zenarians Series has hit the shelves. I'm very excited. Zadoc won my heart from the first book and it's very satisfying to see him getting his much-deserved happy ending. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WJRPB6J/

Readers say:

“A surprising twist they won’t see coming!”—Laura
“I’m so invested in your Zenarians and their stories, such wonderful rich characters!”—Paulette

She awakens the beast in him…

Zadoc has known happiness when he met his beautiful Jasmine. His ofelia. His soulmate. She was his whole world. Only to have her ripped away from him when she was murdered during the war with the Mordaines. Her death was a knife to his heart. As a centuries-old Zenarian immortal, Zadoc is aware that he will never love another. Never feel the soft caress of a lover’s hands upon his wings. The physical scars he bears are a constant reminder of all that he’s lost. Until he meets Laura. Sweet, shy, and Earth-born. Her presence brings light and joy to his soul—and his creature isn’t immune to her innocent allure either. After so many years of cold emptiness, Zadoc will go to extreme lengths to keep Laura by his side.

Laura enjoys a simple life. A good book on a stormy night. Sunday dinners with her family. Her life is as modest as it gets and she’s happy with the status quo. When she meets Zadoc, co-owner of Zenarian Industries, she’s instantly drawn to him. His commanding presence and the deep, gravelly tone of his voice sends tingles of awareness along her nerve endings. Everything feminine in her stands up and takes notice. Until she glimpses the black wings sprouting from his back. Wait, wings? Before she can wrap her mind around what she’s seeing, she’s kidnapped by a disgruntled co-worker and tortured, marking the beginning of Laura’s crazy adventure into a world she never knew existed.

My Perfect Pleasure--Out Now!

Hi Readers,

My Perfect Pleasure just went live! Yay!

 

Dirty Addiction, part of the My Perfect Pleasure Anthology

Buy:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09RGKM5D8/

Obsessions come in all flavors…

Chloe Morgan is weak. At least she is when it comes to Ward Reyes. She can turn down donuts like a wrestler during training, but when her on-again-off-again boyfriend blows into town looking for a booty call she goes down like a sinking ship. Only a drastic action can get her to move on with her life and away from the silver-eyed devil. Was it wrong to send him a break-up text? Definitely, but her choices are limited considering she’s an addict. But what if Ward is the only man that can give her what she so badly desires?

 

“We’re through.” Ward read the text a dozen times and still can’t believe it. But the proof is there in black and white. His sweet Chloe is giving him the boot. At first, it’d been the blazing heat between them that captivated Ward. It was Chloe’s giving nature and sarcastic wit that kept him coming back for more. Unfortunately his life is a mess, thanks to his brother’s gambling habit. Ward has spent the better part of his life cleaning up Malcolm's messes. He’s tried to keep the ugliness of it all from touching Chloe. Now, she’s threatening to walk away and Ward isn’t about to let her go without a fight.

More about Devil up Close:

To expose a madman, she’ll need to brave the darkness…

Jagger Hames is a bodyguard in high demand. He can pick and choose which of society's elite to protect. But when an old friend requests his help with his daughter's twisted secret admirer, Jagger can't say no. Even though spoiled rich girls aren't his shot of whiskey, Jagger will do anything for the man that pulled him off the streets and gave him a second chance.

Amelia hates Jagger on sight. The delicious biceps, sexy tattoos, and wicked grin are eclipsed by the enormous chip on the man's bronzed shoulder. But when a monstrous psycho promises to carve her heart out and hang it from his rearview mirror, Amelia is left with one choice: stay real close to the devil she knows. A sexy, foul-mouthed devil named Jagger...

Strokes of Pleasure--Out Now!

Hi Readers,

Strokes of Pleasure is out now with Evernight Publishing. It’s part of their Romance on the Go line. I’m excited to start writing for this amazing publisher. With a little luck there will be more books to come so please stay tuned!

Strokes of Pleasure is a steamy friends-to-lovers short story. Grab a copy now!

https://books2read.com/u/3R6rJG

Early readers say:

• “A book about exploring unexpected feelings and the balance between friendship and love and risking it all.” ~ Escape

• “Anne Rainey's Strokes of Pleasure was truly a good romance. Friends to lovers. Hot sex. Everything I want in a romance. Highly recommended.” ~ Becky Jean

• “Nice fast-paced story. Mila and Slade were great characters!” ~ Vivian C

Mila Porter’s curvy figure is half the reason Slade River friend-zoned her years ago. Does it matter that she’s had the hots for him for as long as she can remember? Sure, but she’s a realist. So what if she does fantasize about him from time to time? That’s her business. When the annual charity dinner at Mila’s work comes up, Slade offers to be her plus one. An act of kindness, that’s all it is. Or is it?

Slade would be lost without Mila. She’s the most important person in his life. And imagining her naked is a huge no-no. Sex would mess up everything. But when Mila starts talking about a co-worker she’s dating, Slade begins to see his best bud in a whole new light. A sexy, curvy get-his-hands-on-her kind of light. But does he dare risk it all for one night of pleasure?

Dirty Deceptions--Out Now!

Hi Readers,

I have some fun news. Dirty Deceptions is now part of the Kindle Unlimited Program! Grab it here:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09RZDZ6Q5/

Dirty Deceptions: The Dirty Series, Book One

For a single night with her, he’ll be whatever she craves…

Lauren Clark has landed the job of her dreams and she’s ready to celebrate. When her boyfriend dumps her via text message, Lauren finds herself baring her soul to the dark-haired stranger two barstools over. Going home with the delicious hottie probably wasn’t the wisest move. And how was she to know that her Mr. All-Night-Long would end up being her new boss?

Alexander Costa wasn’t one to second guess a good thing. And the sweet redhead with the luscious curves is a damn good thing. When her boyfriend is a no-show, Alexander seizes a chance to make Lauren forget all about her broken heart. Sure, maybe he knew exactly who she was the instant he walked into the bar. Maybe he has a rule about office romance. But just this once Alexander doesn’t want to be heir to the Costa fortune. He only wants to be the man that makes Lauren burn…

Excerpt:

She took a sip of her white wine before replying, “I should’ve seen it coming. It’s

always the ones that are uber-romantic. First date he had two dozen red roses

delivered. Second date he took me to that restaurant across town that serves

that amazing sushi. You know, the new one?”

He sat back a little and watched her. “I hear it’s tough to get reservations.”

“Yep.” She sighed. “He went above and beyond to impress. So, there it is.”

“I’m confused.” He tilted his head to one side. “He romanced you and that means he’s

a jerk?”

She tsked. “No, he tried too hard. Went to great lengths. I should’ve known he’d

have a sell-by date.”

He chuckled. “Sell-by date, huh?”

She found her lips curving upward. “That’s awful, right?”

He shrugged as he took a swig of his dark beer. “Not at all. What’s awful is

leaving you here alone on a Friday night.”

“And I just got the best news too. Asshole,” she muttered. 

“Yeah?”

What harm was there in telling a stranger? “I landed a job that I’ve been wanting,”

she explained, as she stared at her long-stemmed glass. “I was hoping to

celebrate with him.” God, she’d been so happy before Jake’s text. For one

moment in time, she’d been on top of the world. He just had to go and ruin it.

“So, celebrate with me instead.”

Her head jerked his way and she could see the sincerity in those gorgeous blues.

“You’re serious,” she guessed.

He grinned and tossed back the last of his beer. “I am. A beautiful woman should

never celebrate alone. That’s a terrible crime.”

Electricity sizzled along her nerve endings, but her brain was firing warning shots at her.

“I don’t even know you.”

He held up both hands as if in surrender. “I’m harmless and we don’t need to do

anything crazy. We don’t even need to leave this bar.”

“Harmless? No way do I believe that.” She paused then added, “You don’t expect sex? Most

guys expect sex if they buy drinks for a woman.”

He pointed to his empty bottle. “You can buy me drinks then,” he said, his voice

softer now as he leaned a little closer. “After all, you’re the bigshot with the new job.”

She couldn’t help the laugh that bubbled forth. “Maybe this night isn’t a total loss, after all.”

He winked, then tapped her nose. “That’s the spirit.”

Damn, the man was cute and she was a sinking ship. Lauren knew it. Could see the

writing on the wall. Did she care? Nope. Should she get up and walk out now?

Sure. Was she going to? Not a freaking chance.
