Book Spotlight - A Slave's Way Out

Winner of the 2007 Torrid Tile of the Year.

A Slave's Way Out

They came from different parts of the universe: Catrin Munroe, a navy fighter pilot, gifted with visions and on the run from the alien race that abducted her; and Niko Arrian, a lord of Neris and mercenary warship captain, accustomed to women fawning over him and men cowering from a single cold glare. 

When a vision guides Catrin to Niko, they find their lives filled with a passion neither of them ever expected. Will Catrin learn to submit to Niko’s dominant ways, and will Niko discover the sweet art of seduction and clever manner of compromise?

Between you and me ....

Niko makes me drool 😁and I created him!!

I'd call that, a good thing 

Also check out books 2 and 3 of the Mercenaries of Neris series.

Book Spotlight - The Minotaur's Mate

A Sexy Female Truck Driver ... Why yes she is.

During a bar fight, truck driver Serafina Rinne accidentally hits the one man who could ruin her career, Sheriff Gabriel Conall. 

Serafina's amazed at the way her body leaps to life around the brawny Sheriff, and she goes along quietly when he leads her into the Sheriff's station. 

Then Gabe makes her an offer she can't turn down—stay in jail or gain her freedom. He'll drop the charges. All she has to do is help him move some precious cargo. 

As details of the job are worked out, Gabe helps Fina understand more about who she is in a way she didn't think anyone could. Something between them ignites, and when Gabe shows his dominant side, something she's always longed for opens up within Fina. 

But soon Fina's life is on the line. Did Fina just make the biggest mistake of her life?

😆

The newest release from C A Salo, author of the 2007 Bestselling WCP Torrid Book Of The Year, A SLAVE'S WAY OUT!

But as hours with her turn to days, and then weeks, he finds he wants to keep her for an entirely different reason—for him.

Or will the Fates allow love to slip past Luca once again?

Roma

Runa

I love Pinterest, because I can visualize my thoughts. Sometimes it helps while writing and how to write a certain look, like the Thug vehicles from Runa.

And, it gives my readers a slight inside as to how I visualize stories.

I am soooo psyched for the release!!!!

Cover Reveal - Roma & Runa

Available June 21, 2017

Good Morning!!

I am so psyched to reveal the cover for Roma and Runa!!

My two short stories releasing with Torrid June 21, 2017!!

These two were a huge challenge for me, as I have never written short and was basically afraid to. 

YES, I said it, I was afraid to write short!!

Why? Well because anyone who knows me, knows I write like I talk -- A lot 😀hahahahaha

I guess you could say I was afraid to write novella length (20,000 approx) until I did and found out how much I loved it.

Most of my early writings (never published) are near or over 40,000 words.

So, yes! I was afraid to write short, because you have to be so tight with your words. Every word needs to count and move the story forward.

But when asked, I took up the challenge, because I wanted to see if I could do it and step outside my comfort zone.

And now look whats happened -- I have a release!!!!😃

With a lot of thanks to my publisher at Torrid, Jan and my editor Mary!! Without their support and push, I think I may have faltered.

And is my cover not the coolest!! Thank you Kelly!!!

What's Roma and Runa about--well here are some blurbs 😉

Roma Rinnali is a Centurian Guard. An elite warrior of the Galactic Forces. On her way to retrieve her nephew, she meets General Gorian Ocano. As their passion ignites, they must team up to fight a twisted professor when the kids are sent to a neglected detention center, where they’ve been forced to fend for themselves.

Runa the Lost is promised to Brax Del’Nor, leader of a rival clan to ensure the safety of her own. Yet after Runa’s arrival to his home, she discovers a plot within his family to kill her new husband and the answers to her mysterious gifts are uncovered.

Until next...

Simple Strawberry Mousse

Simple Strawberry Mousse

Ingredients

1 cup finely chopped strawberries

1/2 cup sugar, divided

5 tablespoons water, divided

3/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin

Dash of salt

2 large egg whites

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Preparation

1. Combine chopped strawberries and 1 tablespoon sugar in the bowl of a mini chopper or food processor, and toss gently. Let stand for 10 minutes. Process until smooth.

2. Pour 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl, and sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand for 5 minutes.

3. Place 6 tablespoons sugar, the remaining 3 tablespoons water, and dash of salt in a small heavy saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, stirring just until sugar dissolves. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 240° (about 4 minutes). Add egg whites to gelatin mixture; beat with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, beating at high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually pour hot sugar syrup into egg white mixture, beating first at medium speed and then at high speed until stiff peaks form. Beat in vanilla.

4. Place cream in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold one-fourth of egg white mixture into whipped cream. Fold in the remaining egg white mixture. Fold in strawberry mixture. Spoon about 1/2 cup mousse into each of 6 dessert glasses; chill 2 hours or until set.
