When I and my husband first invented Meghan Keenan, we envisioned writing a sexy romp with lots of menage scenes, capitalizing on her bisexuality. We had no idea she’d hang around for so many books. We also were moved by the way she handles herself. She’s always up front with potential relationships about the fact that she’s bi and non-monogamous. What you see is what you get.

Her good friend in Las Vegas hasn’t got that sorted out yet, and now she finds herself in a relationship that’s turning serous but is missing a crucial piece of information…

BLURB

A ring for Christmas? Sometimes what you hope for and what you fear are one and the same.

In Las Vegas for a brief stint in a musical revue and ready for some uncomplicated sex with a kindred spirit, Meghan Keenan is only too happy to resume connections with her sometimes lover, Lisa Perkins.

But Lisa’s in a quandary. Her most recent boyfriend has suddenly become serious, with hints of a diamond ring in her future – and she’s never told him she’s bisexual. What if he freaks? What if he makes her choose?

Professional photographer Bryce Henry spends his days up close and personal with beautiful models and actresses. Now he’s deeply in love with Lisa and ready to pop the question, but even he wonders about long term fidelity. What does he want, and how bad does he want it?

What will happen when Meg takes hold of Lisa’s problem and runs with it?

EXCERPT

Set Up: Lisa and Meg have spent the afternoon making love, and now they’re sitting in Lisa’s kitchen.

“And you don’t think Bryce has ever suspected?” Meg asked. “He’s seen us together…well, I don’t mean really together…but we are fairly touchy-feely, even around him.”

“That’s how he sees me, touchy-feely.” Lisa let out a deep sigh. “I’ve given this a lot of thought. I wouldn’t need another man in my life if I had Bryce, but that’s still not the same. I don’t want to be unfaithful to my wedding vows…but I can’t see a life without being intimate with a woman, at least now and then. Like us. Dammit. What we just shared in my bedroom is extremely special to me, and it’s more than raw sex.”

“And to me,” Meg interjected. “But I wouldn’t want to cause problems in your marriage. By the way, wedding vows can be written to reflect whatever you and whoever you marry agree to commit to. There’s nothing magical in those words. Magic, as you and I know very well from the theater world, lies in the heart.”

“I know. I know. Maybe that’s the crux of the matter. My heart knows the magic of two women being together as well as the magic of a woman and a man. I don’t want to lose either.”

He has to wait his turn… #MFRWSteam #EroticRomance #HolidayStory #LGBTQ #FFM

It’s Christmas Eve—what gifts will Mack, Carol and Tara unwrap together?

Welcome to the MFRW Steam Hop,
where the authors of Marketing for Romance Writers
entice you with steamy excerpts from their erotic romance stories.

Scroll to the end for more of this week’s tempting excerpts.

BLURB

What is Carol up to now? Mack has always known his free-spirited wife is bisexual, but it seems she has new adventures on her mind this Christmas season.

Carol has long entertained fantasies of a threesome with herself, her husband, and their attractive nearby neighbor, Tara.  Now that Tara’s troublesome ex is out of the picture, is this the season to make her fantasies come true?

Tara’s felt a little deprived since cutting things off with her ex, and she’ll admit she envies what Mack and her best friend Carol seem to share. If they invite her to join them, will she dare?

EXCERPT

Set up: The three have unwrapped their gifts – Santa gave both women sheer lacy camisoles but forgot the bottoms. Carol and Tara have tried them on and invited Mack to watch…

“Oh, my,” Tara said, turning slightly to Carol. “You were right. The best Christmas gift is still waiting for us, though it does appear to be already nicely unwrapped.”

“Maybe not so patiently waiting. But,” Carol said, guiding Tara to the throw rugs, “he has to wait his turn. I’m sure Mack wants to know what we’ve been up to these last several months. Maybe we can surpass his fantasies. Do you want to try?”

“Of course.” Tara hugged Carol closely, then stuck her tongue out at Mack. “Don’t let that guy get chilled. I promise I have a place to warm him up if he does. Now, to whet your appetite just a bit more, your wife and I are going do a little more Christmas sharing.”

Carol blew him a kiss. “Don’t worry. Your turn will come.”

Mack watched his wife kneel on the throw rugs and turn her puckered lips toward Tara. On her knees, Tara wrapped her arms around Carol. Their lips barely touched, and then the kiss deepened. Mack blinked. His wife’s hands moved under Tara’s camisole to cup Tara’s breasts. He heard Tara moan as she shifted, giving Carol better access without breaking their kiss. Tara slid a hand down Carol’s back until she was palming Carol’s ass. He saw Tara drag a finger along the crevice between Carol’s ass cheeks. It was then Carol moaned the loudest.

Mack gave up not trying to touch his cock. He’d never in his entire life witnessed anything like this. Even porn had nothing on them. These women were clearly into each other and knew each other’s bodies well.

At last Carol broke away from Tara. “Let’s get rid of Santa’s gifts. They’ve served Santa’s purpose. Now they’re only in the way.”

Tara lifted her arms, and Carol slipped the flimsy garment over her lover’s head. Then Carol raised her arms and Tara did the same before tossing the camisole in his direction. It never reached him as it fluttered to the floor.

“Why don’t you lie down for me?” Carol said, patting the rug and dragging over a couple pillows. “One for your head, and one for your butt.”

Carol knelt beside Tara and spread the woman’s thighs wide. “Let Mack get a good view of his next gift. You okay, honey?” she asked smiling at him. “Don’t you dare let that guy pop until we’re ready.”

Mack stilled his hand on his cock. “I won’t,” he squeaked. “You two are amazing. I feel like I’m watching something sacred unfold.”

“Maybe you are.” Carol redirected her attention to Tara. “Do you want me to prepare you for your next gift?” Carol patted Tara’s pussy lightly.

Tara’s eyelids fluttered closed, then opened wide. “Yes. Please do. I can’t wait much longer.”

“Good.” Carol leaned over and flicked her tongue across the top of Tara’s pussy.

Tara tensed, then relaxed.

“That’s right, let Mrs. Santa prepare you for your Christmas Eve romp. Why don’t you prop yourself up on your elbows, so you can see if your Christmas gift is ready for you?”

Mack watched Tara alter her position so she could see him while Carol continued toying with Tara’s pussy. He knew he must look like a kid gawking in the window of his favorite store. He didn’t know what to say, so he said nothing.

Tara smiled at him. “I think my gift is more than ready. I know I am.”

Carol shook her head. “Not yet. I know you, girl. I want those juices really flowing before sharing Mack with you.”

EXCERPT [PG]

It’s getting closer and closer to Christmas – Carol has been planning a very special gift for herself and Mack. Just now they’re sitting in their north woods hot tub under a blanket of stars in early December…

Ten Sentences

“That’s right,” Mack said, “this is the first Christmas since Tara broke up with that asshole, Dereck. Don’t know how she could tolerate such an idiot.”

“Neither does she, now. At least she kept putting off letting him move in with her.”

“Thank God. Can you imagine him for a neighbor?”

“Fortunately, we don’t have to. It’s been eight months. I think we should invite Tara for Christmas Eve. Are you okay with that? I know Christmas Eve is a special time for you. Well, for both of us.”

And a little more…

“No, of course. We can share some of our Christmas Eve traditions with Tara. Maybe she has some, too.”

“And if we get too sloshed, she can stay over.”

“If we stay up until midnight to usher in Christmas like we usually do, the temperature is going to be well below zero. She can stay over if she wants. We’ll need to be sure she has enough presents to unwrap. But…there is one thing.” Mack gave Carol a quizzical look.

“What’s that?” The reflection from the hot tub showed her naughty expression.

“Our Christmas morning playtime.”

Carol giggled. “It’s a tradition. Do you think maybe Tara might enjoy playing with us?”

“Together?” He knew he sounded dumb. This wasn’t the first time his wife had dangled that possibility before him.

“Well, I doubt we’d need separate rooms. What do you think? Wouldn’t Tara make a delightful Christmas gift?

He quickly decided he needed more information before answering that question. Was there a wrong answer?

Cover Reveal! New cover for Accidental Contact #CoverReveal #LGBTQ #AgeGap #EroticRomance #99cents #ShortStory #SapphicRomance #FF

by

Snowbound in New York City – will Natalie dare to make her move?

I love this new cover by Amber Daulton of Satin Rose Designs – just the right dash of sauciness for our heroine.

What romantic pairings do you love to read? Straight f/m? Bisexual f/f/m? Lesbian f/f? I’m half of the writing duo Adriana Kraft, and we love writing (and reading) all these pairings. Our newest release is a sapphic short story we wrote for an anthology over a decade ago, then revised and updated to release under our indie imprint. Is it really erotic romance? It’s definitely erotic, featuring one of my favorite f/f scenes as Natalie is caught between her fears and her desires in the middle of the night. Since it’s a short story, I’d call it happy-for-now, with a promising future.

And the inspiration? I love New York City, and we love setting stories there. I especially love it in the winter – Rockefeller center, with its giant tree and all the skaters, Central Park, Fifth Avenue with all the shoppers and window displays. Was I ever snowbound there? No, but I was stranded for two steamy August days during the great East Coast blackout of 2003, and that experience definitely helped set the background for this story.

BLURB

Natalie and the much younger Bridgette are real estate agents who’ve often traveled together for business seminars. Now they’re snowbound in New York City in a hotel room with only one bed. Will Natalie dare to make her move?

EXCERPT

For three months, Natalie had eagerly anticipated this trip. She’d bought a pair of pink silk pajamas, wanting to feel a little more presentable and desirable. Pink had always gone well with her dark hair. And she’d come to believe that Bridgette’s choice of silk pajamas was perfect—not too seductive, not too revealing—but classy. Not klutzy like her old sleepwear that resembled sweatpants and gym clothes. On top of that, the feel of silk against flesh was incredibly sensuous.

At least she didn’t have to guess whether Bridgette was into women. She’d never tried to hide that fact. She’d even bemoaned not having found a partner with whom she really wanted to share a lot of time.

Natalie balled her fingers into fists. She’d made the effort to tidy up her pubic hair just in case. She swallowed hard. She couldn’t risk rejection. She’d done all she could. It was up to destiny now. What had Bridgette said? Everything happens for a reason. Maybe the blizzard was heaven sent just for her—just for her and Bridgette.

She blinked back tears. Even a blizzard wouldn’t be enough to fuel her courage. She dozed. Morning couldn’t come too quickly.

Outside their hotel, a winter chill has settled on NYC,
bringing with it a crippling snowstorm –
inside, will Natalie find a satisfying means of turning up the heat?

EXCERPT

Set Up: Lisa and Meg have spent the afternoon making love, and now they’re sitting in Lisa’s kitchen.

“So you think Bryce is going to give you a ring for Christmas?” Meg asked.

Lisa bit her lower lip and nodded.

Meg cocked her head to the side. “And that’s not good? Or is it? Do you love him?

“Of course I love him,” Lisa retorted. “That’s not the problem.”

“Well, he must love you, or he wouldn’t be giving you a ring.”

“I know he does.” Lisa paused, tightening her finger around the coffee cup. “He says he does. I believe him. At least he thinks he does.”

“Sounds like some hesitancy on your part. Are you hoping there will be a ring for Christmas?”

“Yes. But…”

Meg reached across the small table and patted Lisa’s hand. “What is it? You know you can tell me.”

“I know.” Lisa pulled her hand away. “You’re part of the problem.”

“Me! How can I be part of the problem? I’ve only met Bryce a few times, including the other night. He seems like a nice guy. And the two of you seem to do well together.”

“I don’t mean just you.” Lisa fought back tears. “Bryce doesn’t know I’m into women. That I’m bi.”

Meg gulped. “Oh my. And you think he’ll dump you because you’re bi?”

“I don’t know. I should’ve told him.”

“That’s very true. Why haven’t you?”

“I wanted to.” Lisa looked away. “In the beginning, it didn’t matter—we weren’t serious. And then once things started to change, the time never seemed quite right. I didn’t want to lose him. But now that he’s been hinting about a ring, I seem to be paralyzed.”

“But you have to tell him. Right?”

Looking back at Meg, Lisa nodded slowly. “He’ll wonder why I waited so long.”

“That can’t be helped. Now is now. How are you going to take what apparently will be a leap of faith?”

“I don’t know. I thought maybe you could help – that you might think of something I haven’t yet. I’ve thought of simply blurting it out in the middle of lovemaking. Maybe he’d like another woman to join us. I’ve thought of writing a letter, but that seems too clinical and detached. I keep wringing my hands over this, but I can’t get the words out.”

“I take it you’re not ready to give up women.”

Lisa wet her lips. “I’ve thought about it. I can’t do it. I’m bi. I like women as well as men. That’s the way it is. I’m sure there are plenty of bi women who set aside their desire for the touch of a woman to be with a man. I don’t think I can do it. That wouldn’t be me. If I tried and failed, that would be worse than what I’m facing now.”

A little Gypsy magic, some time travel, the power to be invisible…

Welcome to MFRW Hooks, where the authors of Marketing for Romance Writers
share snippets from their stories to entice you into wanting more.
Be sure to click on the links at the end to travel!

BLURB

Always authentic, Assistant Mall Manager Joy Danser insists that her mall Santas must have real beards so children can believe. But even she is unprepared for the very real Santa who visits her bed invisibly this Christmas season. Is she dreaming, or has she gone mad? Joy consults Sophia Nardiz, manager of the Magical Gypsy shop at her mall. Sophia reads her palm and gives her a cryptic message: Joy is at a crossroads, and she must trust her intuition.

Owner of the Magical Gypsy chain and a true Gypsy himself, Nick Polaris is thrilled to play Joy’s Santa, in the mall and in her bed, but he knows it’s only a lark. For true love, he’ll need someone with Gypsy blood. Must he renounce the Scottish redhead he enjoys so much?

EXCERPT – PG

Sophia and Joy have just shared their first lovemaking.

“Who said anything about moving in?” Sophia shook her head. “I may be too fatigued for this conversation. Oh! You think I still live with Nick, don’t you?”

“You don’t?”

“Not for two years or so.”

“Why not?”

Sophia sobered. “Nick needs to find a wife and have a family…”

“…I can’t have children. I love Nick and always will. But our people expect, need him to have heirs.”

“Oh.”

“We still get together now and then, but we’re clear about what we have and don’t have.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”

“That’s fate.” Sophia shrugged. “So Nick’s not a problem for you or for us.”

“Apparently.” Joy shuddered. “In an off handed way, he asked to escort me to the Christmas Ball. I thought he was kidding.”

“Nick doesn’t do off handed very well. He only says what he means.”

“But he’s looking for a wife.” Joy felt her eyes round. “I’m not wife material.”

Sophia laughed. “I could debate that, but you don’t have to worry. Nick can only marry a woman with at least some gypsy blood. You don’t have gypsy blood do you?”

“No. I highly doubt that. So that makes me safe. I’m Scottish through and through.
