Yes, the rumors are true and I'm plotting the next installment of the Alexandra Sabian series. While planning and scheming murder, mayhem, destruction, and general fun stuff like that, I'm also thinking of the next step in Alex's relationship with Varik. I can't say much since y'all haven't read BLOOD SECRETS yet (which I'm dying for y'all to read!! Anticipation is NOT my friend...) and I don't want to give spoilers.

But...I've been thinking a lot about love and relationships lately, and with Valentine's Day fast approaching, it's hard not to notice all the cutesy hearts and bears. As "they" say, "Love is in the air." So I'm going to show my love for readers and hold a contest!

SHOW THE LOVE...WIN BOOKS CONTEST

To enter: Go to Wayward Muses and Shiny Objects and post your favorite literary love duo (can be from classic literature or contemporary genre fiction) and why you're drawn to their relationship in the comments section. For example: Romeo and Juliet -- I'm drawn to them because they're the embodiment of forbidden and tragic love. OR Cat and Bones -- I love 'em because they're just freakin' HAWT! (You get the idea.)

Dates: Contest begins Friday, January 28 and end Monday, February 7. Winners will be announced Tuesday, February 8.

Entries: Only 1 (ONE) entry per person. Contest IS open to international participants.

Prizes: Four (4) lucky winners will be chosen at random and receive the following--

* 1st Prize...
BLOOD LAW by Jeannie Holmes (signed)
HOT ROCKS by Nora Roberts
GHOST SHADOW by Heather Graham
KILLING ME SOFTLY by Maggie Shayne
THE PERFECT POISON by Amanda Quick

* 2nd Prize:
ENEMY LOVER by Karin Harlow
WICKED BECOMES YOU by Meredith Duran
BIG JACK by J. D. Robb

* 3rd Prize:
DANGEROUS DESIRES by Dee Davis
THE PERFECT POISON by Amanda Quick (Yes, I have two copies of this book.)
SUGAR CREEK by Toni Blake

* 4th Prize:
CRAZY FOR LOVE by Victoria Dahl
RUNNING HOT by Jayne Ann Krentz
I LOVE THIS BAR by Carolyn Brown

All books are new and unread. Genres range from contemporary to regency romance to paranormal to urban fantasy.

Yes, there's only one copy of BLOOD LAW up for grabs, but don't worry. I'll have more contests in the future, especially as we get closer to June and BLOOD SECRETS.

The contest is now open so show me the love!!
