Jianne Carlo’s Hottest Christmas List for Satan!

To celebrate our LLL giveaway, I’m choosing my characters from Satan, Hades Squad #5, Satan and Angel – their names couldn’t be more appropriate, right?

Satan and Angel hookup two days before Christmas and decide to spend the holiday together. Angel discovers from a mutual friend that Satan hates Christmas and begins to dread agreeing to sharing the day with him.

Here’s what happens when Angel arrives at Satan’s home:

Forty-five minutes later, Angel geared down to guide her recently rented Audi RS 7 onto the I-495 exit ramp. Snow started falling just as she reached the entrance to Satan’s long driveway.

To her surprise, he was leaning against his front door waiting for her.

She braked, switched off the engine, and unsnapped her seatbelt. He opened the door and without a second of hesitation she flew into his arms. God he smelled so mouth-watering.

He caught her chin, and they stared at each other. “Angel. It suits you.”

“Satan. It suits you.” She grinned at him. “It seemed too trite—you know Angel and Satan hooking up.”

“That all you have?” He inclined his head to the carry-on lying on the passenger seat.

“Well, I could’ve packed more, but I have this feeling that whatever I wear won’t be worn for long.”

“Smart woman.” He flicked the tip of her nose, twined their fingers together, reached across the driver’s seat, and grabbed her luggage.

“Hungry?” He opened the front door and ushered her in.

She glanced over her shoulder at him. “More munchy than hungry. Why?”

“Turn around. I have a surprise for you.”

“A surprise?” She frowned at him before whirling around.

Her jaw sagged. For there right in the curve of the grand staircase stood a gigantic Douglas Fir. The strap of her purse slipped down her arm to her wrist.

“Like it?” He stood behind her, his hands cupping her shoulders.

Tears brimmed, and she was too choked up for words, so she nodded. She covered his fingers with hers. “It’s beautiful, but Jess told me you hate Christmas and never celebrate the holidays.”

~~~~

Angel pivoted, looked right at him, and toyed with the stubble darkening his chin. “I don’t want you to do anything you don’t want to.”

“Trust me. I don’t ever do anything I don’t want to. Thought it might be fun to decorate it and you. Have this vision of wrapping bows around strategic body parts and then un-wrapping them one by one.” He winked at her.

“Oh my. Wicked, wicked, Satan. That’s a perfectly delish idea. Do we start now?”

And here are their Christmas Lists for Each Other:
Angel’s List:
New Yorker Christmas Edition for the year of Satan’s birth
Blow Job
Satan’s List:
Tiffany Christmas Angel
Sexy as sin black lingerie
BDSM Blindfold & Cuffs

Tag Line:

Mix Satan, a retired SEAL, and Angel, a stunning redhead talk show host a stunning redhead talk show host on a mission for vengeance, an explosive attraction, and terrorists.

But when the truth comes out and Angel goes missing, will scorching desire be enough to burn away the distrust and bind them together forever?

Prymal Hunger-Start the Week Hungry!

When my head’s in a book, it’s all about the characters, and the plot. I drive my family and the Viking insane. These days I’m living and breathing Prymal Hunger. So, I figure on this Merry Monday morning I’d share the cover and a short excerpt with everyone. The cover, you’ll have to admit is mouth-watering.

Excerpt from Prymal Hunger:

~~~~~~~~~

Apache mumbled something to him, but Kydd’s total focus was holding his mate in his arms. He snatched the front door open right as Axe’s truck jerked to a halt under the porte cohere in the middle of the circular driveway. His gaze locked onto Helle’s and her aroma swarmed around him. Absent from her fragrance was the pungent fear that had dominated her scent since he kissed her in ROAR’s lobby.

“Hi.” Her lips trembled into a shaky smile and a faint peach stained her throat and face. She tucked a springy curl behind one ear.Why was she nervous? He fisted his hands to prevent himself from dragging her into his embrace.

Axe waved at him from the driver’s seat. “Yo. I was on the way into base and Helle decided she wanted to come home.”Home. Had she said that exact word? Kydd forced his concentration to Axe. “Thanks.”

Kydd opened the pickup’s passenger door, unlatched Helle’s seat belt, lifted her, and, stood her on the steps at his side.

A wayward strand of her hair tickled his nose. He wrapped his arm around her narrow waist and spread his fingers over her ribcage to maximize the contact. In the background he heard the murmur of male voices, but he ignored the patter, and studied his mate’s profile. She snuck him a side-long peep and her blush deepened when she realized his intent perusal of her.

Somewhere in the distance, a deep baritone rumbled.

Helle bumped his hip with hers. “Axe is speaking to you.”

Kydd dragged his stare to Axe’s. “What?”

“I said, introductions are in order. You know, as in, introduce Apache and Helle for crap’s sake. Ah shit. Forget it. You’re too far gone. Helle, this is Apache, a buddy of ours, and a SEAL like me.” Axe scowled at Kydd.

Helle offered Apache her hand.

Apache shot Kydd a glance. He shook Helle’s hand for the barest second. “Nice to meet you, Helle.”

“Are you a member of Prymal, too?” She tipped her head back to look right at Apache.

Kydd frowned not liking her thorough inspection of the blond, tanned Scandinavian-born SEAL. He tightened his hold on her.

“Yes, ma’am.” Apache stood at attention, hands clasped behind his back.

“Are you Rogue, Wylfen, or Feral?” She flashed Apache the sweetest smile on the planet and her lashes fluttered once, twice, three times.

Kydd breathed fire. If Apache dared respond to his mate’s teasing flirting, he was buzzard-carrion. He growled a warning.

“Feral, ma’am. And if I don’t want a knuckle sandwich, it’s time for me to exit.” Apache clicked his boot heels together and bowed from the waist. He spared Kydd a pity-filled smirk. “Later, bro.”

Too bemused by Helle’s warm, pliant body snugged against his side and her apparent acceptance of his embrace, Kydd hesitated to move. Vaguely aware of Apache stalking to his jeep and Axe driving away, he snuck a peek at Helle only to find her staring at him. All at once, her musk blossomed, and the intoxicating aroma slammed his logic into never-never land. Her desire, sharp, tantalizing, and dizzying, radiated in her dilated pupils.

Kydd lowered his eyelids in an attempt to contain his rioting hormones. His entire groin throbbed with an urgency too potent to control. He leaned his forehead against Helle’s and battled the overwhelming need to sink his dick inside her heat. He turned her into him fully and linked his fingers on the swell of her sweet ass.

Burying his nose in her curls, he counted to ten, and then let his arms drop and stepped back. He swiped his Stetson off and smacked the leather on his thigh before meeting her gaze.

She wore a Cheshire-cat smile, all sultry and mysterious. “Tania shifted for me.”

Hope you enjoyed!

Prymal Passion, Sinner, and Lucifer Available for Pre-order at Amazon!

My release schedule’s final for the first half of this year. Starting on February 5, 2015, and continuing until May, 2015, seven hot romances from be will be released. I’m so thrilled and excited.

Here’s the release pipeline:

February 5, 2015:
Prymal Passion:
The primal call of Mate Claim sparks a battle among the three species of shifters—Wylfen, Feral, & Rogue—and has for generations. These violent feuds incite hunts by humankind, driving shifters near extinction. To protect their people the aristocratic Wylfen ban the practice of Mate Claim. When a Rogue alpha claims a Wylfen female, the mated pair forms a coalition with a Feral male. An alliance is created: Prymal, a new species & pack born of Rogue, Wylfen, & Feral. And war begins…

Rogue Shifter Bandit Jackson lives for the moment. At thirty-seven, he’s resigned himself to life without mate and makes out like a bandit in all walks of life. No commitments, no strings, tons of women, wine, and eclectic food. The last thing he expects is to recognize the woman who’s trespassing on his property as his mate. Kata’s on the run with her daughter and agrees to stay with him only until she finds the sanctuary she’s seeking. Can Bandit live up to his nickname and steal Kata’s heart before she leaves him?

March, 2015:

Sinner:
Navy SEAL Sinner is no choir boy. Deployed to fight an out-of-control brush fire in Alaska, Sinner is the last smokejumper to exit the plane. Sinner veers off course, his chute fails, his reserve opens, and he’s knocked unconscious when he lands in a pear tree. Sinner awakens in a cabin to the sight of a woman with the face of a Madonna and the body of a stripper tending to him.

Destiny is in Alaska, armed with whips, cuffs, and copies of “classic”—who knew?—porn movies, to “sex up” former bestselling author Nadine Roland’s latest manuscript. It’s make or break it time for Destiny, career wise. The last thing she needs is a car that won’t start, a fricking blizzard, and a SEAL named Sinner who thinks she’s into BDSM because of her ‘toys.’

Sinner doesn’t believe Destiny is a book editor, not for a second. He knows they’re trapped in the cabin for at least two days. When the lights go out, Sinner knows exactly how he’s going to stay warm.

Lucifer:
Lucifer’s hired to find a runaway bride—the daughter of close friends of his parents who are strict Hindus.

After Nalini seduces Lucifer, the love of her life, she discovers he’s been hired to find her by the groom she jilted at the altar—could fate be more cruel?

What’s Lucifer to do when he discovers Nalini’s the mystery woman from his recent one-night-stand? The one where the condom broke?

 

April, 2015:

Devil:
The last person Devil expects to see in a BDSM club is the best friend of his buddy’s new wife, Jessica Blaine. The all-American apple pie woman he wants so badly it’s her face he sees every orgasm for the last nine months.

Is she playing? Exploring? Tough, she’s on his turf now, she’s put herself up for auction, and by God she’s his for the night.

Jess is scared spit less. She’s going to sell her services to the man who may have killed, Aung, the college student she mentors who vanished three weeks earlier. When the wrong man, a masked stranger, wins the auction, she has no choice but to proceed. Horrified when she responds to the masked stranger, Jessica flees.

Devil lets her go fully intending to reel her in. His way

Demon:
You speak English flawlessly.” With a hint of an Irish accent. Intriguing.
“Gracias. Languages are easy. Not like the physics.”

What a piss-assed conversation to be having in the middle of the ocean with a woman he’d just rescued from certain gang rape, being shot, and who knew what else. A curvy, luscious female whose virginity he’d just taken in front of four armed men. Talk about the best laid plans backfiring, Demon’s carefully plotted scheme to capture the man who abused him, Pedro Nunez aka The Smiling Killer, was not off to a good start.

“What’s your name?”
“Jacinta Nunez.”

Jacinta claims to have lived her whole life in a cloistered convent. Claims she’s an orphan. Claims she’s only lived in the outside world for fifty-seven days. Yet she’s the mirror image of Pedro’s sister, Rosa.

The sister Pedro murdered fifty-seven days ago. There are no coincidences in life. Not for a SEAL.Is Jacinta Pedro’s ultimate revenge on Demon?

Satan:
Retired SEAL, Satan ranks liars and talk show hosts lower than ambulance chasers on his list of contemptible occupations, so he goes AWOL when his mansion’s the site of a New York blueblood charity option. He returns home after the event’s over and his doorbell rings. The stunning red-head at the door’s late for the auction and needs his bathroom urgently. He invites her in with the intention of wooing her to stay.

Angel Dare, darling host of the NY talk show circuit, plans to avenge her brother’s murder. Her scheme is a suicidal one—she doesn’t expect to come out of the mission alive.
The instant, powerful attraction to Satan stuns her. When he seduces her into spending four days with him having nothing but monkey sex and fun, she agrees. Better to go out with a bang (or four days of it) than a whimper.

Long ago, Satan resigned himself to a solitary existence. Angel dropkicks that notion into another galaxy, but she won’t commit to a relationship with him. When she leaves, he discovers that his Angel’s nothing but a rabid liar and a frigging talk show host. Furious, he resolves to cut her out of his life.

Then Angel goes missing while she’s playing carnival in her homeland, Trinidad. Jess, Satan’s buddy’s wife, begs him to find her friend Angel. Why should he bother about the deceitful woman who abused his emotions?

May, 2015:

Prymal Hunger:
The primal call of Mate Claim sparks a battle among the three species of shifters—Wylfen, Feral, & Rogue—and has for generations. These violent feuds incite hunts by humankind, driving shifters near extinction. To protect their people the aristocratic Wylfen ban the practice of Mate Claim. When a Rogue alpha claims a Wylfen female, the mated pair forms a coalition with a Feral male. An alliance is created: Prymal, a new species & pack born of Rogue,Wylfen, & Feral. And war begins…

The Kydd, aka Kydd Kolton, leads a charmed life. A Feral wolf and retired UFC fighter, he’s parlayed his toned bod and surfer good looks into an acting career. Rich, famous, handsomer than sin, the Kydd’s never had to lift more than a pinky or a perfect brow to snare a woman. Until he meets Helle, a human female, whose sole purpose in life is to torture him.

Prymal Obsession Cover!

Yesterday, Georgia Woods, the CEO of Hartwood Publishing, sent me the cover for Book Two in the PRYMAL series, Prymal Obsession. I can’t resist sharing this scrumptious cover with everyone.

Isn’t my hero Alpha Rogue shifter, Brut Jurango, lickable?

His tats are eternal symbols of each of the butchered members of  his pack.

 

 

Here’s the blurb for Prymal Obsession:

The primal call of Mate Claim sparks a battle among the three species of shifters—Wylfen, Feral, & Rogue—and has for generations. These violent feuds incite hunts by humankind, driving shifters near extinction. To protect their people the aristocratic Wylfen ban the practice of Mate Claim. When a Rogue alpha claims a Wylfen female, the mated pair forms a coalition with a Feral male. An alliance is created: Prymal, a new species & pack born of Rogue, Wylfen, & Feral. And war begins…

Brut Jurango’s pack is one of butt-ugly misfits, and he’s devoted to each and every member. When his mate and his entire pack are slaughtered, he lives for one sole purpose–revenge. Brut’s a mixed breed, wolf, panther, and human. He had a mate, and shifters are supposed to have only one in a lifetime. So why can’t he resist Sidonie Walker’s call? Or is this just one more lie proliferated by the Wylfen?

Excerpt – Prymal Obsession:

The pipes groaned and yanked Sid out of her wretched self-pity. She stamped her foot. A trick taught to her by Larry Spector, her motivational coach cum mental and physical boot camp trainer.

Fight cerebral paralysis with physical activity.

When you’re depressed, get moving. Her actions jerky, she peeled the sodden garments from her chilled flesh, slid the door open, and tossed the clothes into the sink.

It had been over half a decade since she’d taken control of her life. She’d had to claw and scrape to become her own person, and by all the gods in the universe, she wasn’t ceding that power to anyone. Not even Brut Jurango.

“No more thinking about Brut Jurango.” Another Larry Spector tenet, vocalize your intentions and then act upon them. Sid nudged the door closed. “I’m not a coward. No more knee-jerk reactions.”

No more being too terrified to pee.

She adjusted the water temperature, waited for the goose bumps to dissipate, and grabbed the shampoo. While she washed her hair and showered, Sid analyzed all that had happened in the last few weeks.

Davy had vanished three weeks ago.

He’d gone with a buddy to Cabo San Lucas, to party yes, but also to check out a recently two-starred Michelin farm-to-table restaurant. It was a weekend trip, and Sid hadn’t been worried when Davy didn’t show up on Monday. Davy was a creature of impulse and his timeliness suffered constantly because of it.

When Davy didn’t contact her by Monday night, Sid phoned him only to have the call go to voice mail. She texted him repeatedly. By Tuesday she’d started to panic. The Grape Escape’s grand opening loomed, she had no chef, and worse, the boy-man she considered a younger brother had disappeared.

“Where are you Davy?” Sid thunked her head on the tiles and turned off the shower. She had stayed sane since Davy vanished by not letting her mind wander to Davy being tortured or raped. “Lycus went to the East Coast. Why? Is what Davy’s involved in linked to our culinary school?”

The shower door slid open.

Sid froze. The steam blurred her vision. The bathroom exhaust fan went on overdrive and the thick mists cleared to reveal Brut Jurango, arms outstretched. A chocolate bath sheet hung tautly between his hands.

Her palms itched to yank into the instinctive cup-her-breasts defensive reaction. Instead, she glued her wrists to her sides. Didn’t attempt to hide her truculent outrage or her nudity. “What do you want?”

His mouth curved. “That’s been obvious from day one, Sidonie.”

Now ain’t that a zesty way to start the work week?

And now onto the crucial Bingo Clue:

If you are not playing Love, Lust and Laptops Bingo Game it’s not too late (we just started on Monday! — and there is no Bingo yet!)

We have several Bingo cards left. You can get the previous clues and rules at https://lovelustandlaptops.wordpress.com/

Prymal Lust Preview

The first book in my new PRYMAL series releases this Thursday. Yippee!  Here’s a titillating preview:

Prymal Lust – Excerpt:
She twirled around, jutted one leg forward, and jammed a hand on her hipbone. “Why don’t I join you in that shower, sailor-boy? There are certain parts of you I’m dying to handle.”
Her gaze had fixated on the boner twitching against his damp shorts.
The tenuous hold on his control cracked. “Done deal.”
With that he scooped her off her feet.
She squealed, literally. He had a hunch she never squealed and was never caught off guard. Tough titties. This morning she’d squeal and whimper for him.
Axe marched to the bathroom. There was no window and the room brimmed with shadows.
Freaking hoorah, she felt good in his arms, both fragile and substantial at the same time. He squeezed her side for her fragrance now held a hint of trepidation. “Look at me. All you have to do is say stop. Got me?”
Again, he titled his scarred cheek away from her, but interlocked their gazes.
She studied him for a long moment before giving him a quick nod. Her throat worked. “You do this often?”
Axe edged the sliding shower door to one side with his sneaker. He set her on her feet, steadied her when she wobbled, and knelt to unlace her shoes.
“Are we divulging past fucks but not names? None of your business if I do. For the record I’m clean. You seem to have guessed I’m in the Navy. Regular checkups. Last one mere days ago and, no, I haven’t indulged since then.”
He stood and worked her sweatpants down over her hips.
She had craned her neck to stare at him, but hadn’t moved otherwise though her rasped breathing told him of her increasing excitement intermingled with a growing apprehension. Tugging at her lower lip, she swallowed, and then spoke, her voice laced with a husky coarseness, “I’m clean too. It’s been a while since I’ve, ah, indulged.”
The sight of her red lacey boy-cut panties against smooth golden skin had his prick leaking. He couldn’t resist slipping a hand underneath the soft cotton and cupping her mound.
She was drenched.
He let his fingers slide through her slick folds. “This first one’s gonna go down faster than I wanted.”
She gripped his forearms and licked a bicep.
“Damn.” He just about shot his load. “Let’s get naked fast.”
“Oh yeah,” she growled.
The perfume of her juices proved too much temptation. He forced his hand away from her heated core, brought his fingertips to his nose, and inhaled deeply before sucking her honey off his hands.
Her nails dug into his flesh. “Hell. Do it now.”
The fervent command and the way she stared at his erection snapped him back from the edge.
A lazy grin stole across his lips. He studied the sheen of perspiration coating her bent forehead, and the way her nostrils flared like a mare in heat desperate for mounting. “Naked. Skin to skin.”
“Oh yeah,” she agreed and in a flash yanked at his gym shorts, dragging the material down enough to free his rampant erection. She gripped him at the base with both hands. “Oh yeah.”
And just like that he was riding the line again. It took the last iota of discipline pounded into him during his time with the Teams to pry her fingers apart. “Show me your tits.”
She reached for him.
Axe caught her hands, twisted them crosswise, and spun her about so her back ground into his chest. He nuzzled her ear, tongued the whorls, and bit the lobe. “You like being in charge, don’t you?”
Hope you enjoyed!
Cheers,

Jianne
