A quickie from Ellora's Cave and a romance from Cerridwen Press

Hot Rush by Barbara Huffert
Rick Jensen is working undercover to break up the largest drug deal in the city's history. Everything is going as planned until the hottest redhead he's ever seen comes storming into the warehouse. If only he can stop thinking with his cock long enough to save her luscious ass and convince her that love at first sight really does exist.
Being sentimental has always been Casey Carmichael's downfall. But this time her impulsiveness lands her right in the middle of a full contingent of heavily armed drug dealers. When one of them tosses her over his shoulder and carries her up to the office, the last thing she expects is out-of-control sex with the undercover cop trying to protect her.

Getting Back to Delaney by Christie Walker Bos
Delaney McKenzie's in a tailspin. With another failed relationship, a gallery nearing insolvency and a father urging her to abandon art for accounting, Delaney is tired of living her life for others. It's time to finally figure out what she wants—in business, life and love.
Tyler Szymanski thought Delaney was as sterile as her gallery until he glimpses the warm woman beneath the façade. He's eager to see more, but when he helps his brother Stirling open a successful gallery near Delaney's, it's clear she sees him as the enemy. With the help of his brother, he stages an "accident" that brings Stirling's rich clients to Delaney's door—and Tyler into her life.
But when the truth comes out, both Delaney and Tyler are hurt by accusations of mutual betrayal. It will take Delaney's three little old neighbors—and one rambunctious puppy—to help these headstrong lovers learn that trust isn't a one-way street.

First Sharing by Jory Strong
Part of the Fallon Mates series
Laith d'Amato never thought to form a mate-bond outside his race, but when he sees Cyan Dupre, the human female the scientists on Belizair have matched him to, he's more than willing to claim her. But only by including Rykken in the mate-bond will there be hope for Belizair.
One look at Cyan and the mating fever of his race swamps Rykken. Without the wings of the Vesti and Amato she seems fragile, in need of a strong male to care for her. It's not the Vesti way, but for the sake of friendship and the future of Belizair, Rykken will fight his genetic imperative and cultural upbringing. He'll join with Laith in the first sharing of a human female.
Cyan finds it impossible to resist Laith and Rykken. They're erotic fantasy and artistic inspiration—but loving them comes with a choice between doing what's right for her heart or what's right for her art.

Honoring Lara


Her life was far too short, the loss to her family too sad to imagine. But what we hope for Lara Punches is that there is a special place in heaven where animals and the people who love them go, and that she’s making new friends there and finding old friends as well.

Many of our readers and friends know Lara’s mother, Martha Punches, as that wonderful, upbeat, helpful soul in charge of Ellora’s Cave/Cerridwen Press customer service. Several of our authors were so moved by the heartbreaking story of Lara’s death, they decided to honor her memory by donating to her family a portion of the proceeds from books dedicated to Lara. Those books begin releasing this month.

Everyone who knows Martha loves her. And everyone who knows Martha knows that Lara was the apple of her eye. She was crazy about that girl. Never pretended her daughter was perfect, just enjoyed her company immensely and delighted in watching the wonder that was Lara unfold.

When Lara went off to Fort Wayne to study to become a veterinary technician, Martha was excited for her. Lara loved animals and was pursuing her passion, doing what she had wanted to do since she was in eighth grade. The school was an hour’s drive from home, far enough so she could be independent but close enough that Martha and Lara’s dad, Paul, could still see her often.

Lara was close to her parents and kept in touch by text, email and phone frequently while she was away. “Sometimes it would just be a one-word text, ‘hi’,” Martha said in a recent WANE TV interview. Lara and Martha had been emailing back and forth on the evening of January 22 while Lara studied for a test and Martha worked. Around 10:30 Lara called to say goodnight before going to bed.

A few hours later, around 5 a.m., Lara called again. Her apartment complex was on fire and she and her two roommates were trapped in their second-floor bathroom. All Martha and Paul could do was try to help her calm down and pray rescue workers would get through to them in time. They were on the phone with her until she lost consciousness from smoke inhalation.

When the firefighters arrived, they launched a heroic rescue effort. By the time they reached the second floor, the blaze was so advanced that the floor was already beginning to fall in and the ceiling was engulfed in flames. Lara and her roommates were taken immediately to the hospital.

Jennifer Spurgeon, 19, died the next day. Renee Patton, 18, died two days after that. There was hope for several agonizing days that Lara might pull through. Many, many people prayed for her, from devout Christians to those who were a little rusty in the talking-to-God department. But the damage to her brain was too severe. She died on February 12. She was 19 years old.

The tragedy of Lara’s death might have destroyed a lesser woman, but Martha’s strength, courage and faith through the ordeal have inspired the people who know her, even as we ache for her. She finds some comfort in the fact that Lara chose to be an organ-and-tissue donor and that parts of her will live on and might help up to 100 people. And Martha hopes that people who hear Lara’s story will understand the dangers of smoke inhalation and be moved to install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

She also tries to focus on the good stuff in Lara’s life. “She had a lot of dreams,” said Martha. “She also had a good life and good friends who loved her.” Shortly after Lara’s death, a friend of hers visited Martha and Paul and they found a text message in the inbox on Lara’s old cell phone. As the friend read it out loud, Martha felt as if Lara was speaking directly to them all. Part of the message said, “What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt? So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a difference in my life. I look up to you and respect you and truly cherish you…” Martha said in a message to her colleagues, “I don’t know who sent that to her but in my heart of hearts, I can almost believe she sent it to us.”

Acceptance, says Martha, has been the hardest part. “I keep thinking she’s going to walk through the door.” Again it is her faith that gets her through. “She knew she was a child of God and that she would go to be with him when she died. It just happened so much sooner than we ever thought it would. Someday I’ll see her again. … I’ll cherish that day when it comes.”

A portion of royalties from the following books will be donated to the Punches family in Lara’s honor:
Best Friends Forever by Kate Douglas (released June 17)
Honey by Ari Thatcher (released June 19)
Sweet Buns by Marilu Mann (releases June 26)

Now though, held prisoner aboard a ship traveling between worlds, they must put aside their animosity and work together in order to overcome their captors.

From the "Succulent" series:

Ripe for Love by Alexis Canto
Mitch was Callie's delicious one-night stand in acting school. Three years later they're both using their acting skills to sell fruit at the Renaissance Faire. The sparks between them are hotter than ever and Mitch knows what he wants. When it comes to sex, he demands the best part of Callie—her fantasies.
For Callie, pleasing Mitch will mean more than the heart-pounding thrill of risking discovery when he claims her body. And it will be harder than overcoming her nervousness about showing off her cleavage in her Renaissance-style dress. Callie has never before revealed her most scorching fantasies to anyone. To keep Mitch in her life, she's going to have to live out every sexual experience she's ever dreamed of.

Out of Her Dreams by Fran Lee
She's a best-selling erotic romance writer. Her fans adore her. She's making excellent money. All by writing about a man she dreamed up many years ago. Her hero is handsome, virile, sexy, strong, sensitive and a complete gentleman.
The real man on her covers is a different story. A hot-headed, sex-on-the-hoof pro wrestler. He has a reputation for being the hottest, nastiest man on the mats. The fact that his face and body are plastered all over a bunch of mushy romance novels written by a woman with a death wish doesn't sit well on those massive shoulders. His agent's demanding monetary retribution from the woman who's dared to use his image on her covers but he has another form of retribution in mind…and it has nothing to do with money.

Eight centuries later, another lightning bolt releases him into modern-day war vet Collin Morgan. The warrior's hot blood not only cures Collin's war-induced impotence, it drives him to bed his former lover Gwen Gardner when they meet by chance at the medieval castle.
Collin broke Gwen's heart years ago and she resists his spirited seductions—at first. But when electrical storms give the ghost command of his body, Collin becomes a tantalizing seducer whose new techniques stir Gwen's desires beyond her control. She surrenders her body and her heart.

TGIW!

Is it hot in here or is it just new release day at Ellora's Cave?

Who would've guessed that after years of entering contests, I'd finally win. An all-expenses-paid week at a tropical resort—a clothing-optional resort. I was pretty sure there was nothing that would make me want to take off my clothes. Until I met Leo, a trainer at the resort."Aroused" doesn't begin to describe the feelings he inspires. Looking at him makes me want to work up a sweat—and not from exercise. Perhaps it's time to toss caution to the wind and indulge myself—live the fantasy. Have myself a little sexploration. But I'm not falling madly in love. Nuh-uh. No way. Did I mention how that man can kiss?
