Her Asset

Enjoy the following excerpt from Goddess of the Hunt:

“Is it done? Do you and the others in the house bring in sex partners from time to time?” She straightened and stared at him.
“Yes.” He hissed the answer.
“I’m travelling; you and I meet at a pub and go to your place to hook up. It’s simple and happens all the time. Believable, even.” She thought of Michel and her lips tilted at the corners. Then, casting her eyes over Eoin, she deliberately arched a brow and tucked her tongue in her cheek. “Well, for most people, anyway.”
His lips thinned and the muscles in his cheek ticked as he worked to control the flare of temper. It delighted her. “Fine, we’ll do it your way.” Eoin pushed himself from the chair he’d been perched on and nearly charged for the door. “I’ll be here at seven-thirty tomorrow morning, be ready.”
Paige grabbed his arm as he passed her. “What are you so worked up about? If it goes wrong, you can just leave me hanging and you know it. This costs you nothing, Paddy-boy; it’s my ass on the line.”
He grabbed her shirt and pushed her against the closet door. She didn’t fight it and he had his mouth on her in seconds. His tongue delved and demanded she respond; she arched up into the kiss. Delight, desire, and anger thrummed through her as she both succumbed and made demands of her own. His hands molded to her hips and pinned her between the hard planes of his body and the wall behind her. Then he abruptly pulled away. They stood inches apart; the air crackled around them. Their gazes locked. He opened his mouth, then shook his head and left without a word.
       Tie score.

New Release; Complete Me by Catherine Peace


Introducing Decadent Publishing author, Catherine Peace. Her new 1 Night Stand book, Complete Me, releases 3/21.


A romance author who needs to love….
Best-selling romance author Claire Ergleston confines her passions to the pages of her books. When she receives a 1Night Stand date ‘to give her something to talk about in interviews,’ can she let herself be swept away?

A rock star who needs to let go….
The past has a chokehold on former rock star Ty Krause. Instead of killer tunes, he kills time writing passable songs for a British boy band and his nights wishing he had the balls to say goodbye. In a last ditch effort, he signs up for 1Night Stand, thinking that a night of no-strings-attached sex will help him break the leash of his past.

From the moment Claire and Ty meet, sparks fly—but can they overcome their pasts or will their potential love story end on a sour note?

Available 3/21 from the following e-retailers:

***To celebrate the release of Complete Me, I’m giving away a $25 iTunes gift card, a free copy of the book, and a Complete Me-inspired T-shirt. Entry form is below***

Spotlight Author: Alissa Baxter

Please welcome Alissa Baxter today and hear about her Decadent book, The Blog Affair.  



Heroes and their Women
The heroes in romance and chick lit novels are frequently single, successful, attractive men who are eagerly sought after and pursued by women. The more high status the man is, the more likely it is that he’ll be pursued. And he’ll generally enjoy dabbling amongst the females who surround him.
This is the kind of man who often features as an Alpha Male hero in a romance novel. He has been spoilt by all the female attention he has received over the years and he takes it for granted… that is until the heroine of the novel turns up in his life and acts unlike any woman he’s ever met. She doesn’t fawn all over him, and this piques his interest. And so the dance of romance begins as the hero, rising to the challenge, starts to pursue her…
Very often Alpha heroes in romance novels can be described as commitment phobic – that is until he meets a woman who wins his heart.
In my latest novel, The Blog Affair, my main female character sets up a blog in an attempt to analyse the shortfalls of men that she calls “serial datists”. Here is an extract from her blog, where she describes commitment phobic men:

PENELOPE’S PANTRY
…A PLACE FOR YOU TO POINT OUT YOUR VIEW
The Commitment-Phobe
The difficult thing about the Commitment-Phobe (CP) is he very easily fits into the other categories of serial datists I’ve outlined. CP can be an emotionally unavailable male, or a bad boy, or a wannabe player. Or he can be none of these male types.
It isn’t easy, therefore, to define him. However, I will outline some of the major characteristics of this male type, so you can spot him from a mile away.
Firstly, he’s still single in his thirties. He may have had a couple of long-term relationships, but he’s never taken that fatal step toward marriage.
Secondly, he is terrified of the M-word (as in marriage). Even if you casually mention to him you will be attending your cousin’s wedding next month, you will notice he’ll start to shuffle his feet and look uncomfortable. His eyes will go all shifty, and he’ll rapidly change the subject.
Thirdly, if you ignore his signals and insist on speaking to him about the M-word, you will notice he’ll be very quick to cite the high divorce rate, or the number of his married friends who have had affairs, or want to have affairs, but are too terrified their wives might find out to do anything about it.
Fourthly, if he is hitting his mid-thirties, you’ll notice he’ll grudgingly start to acknowledge marriage might become an option for him at some point. This isn’t because he WANTS to get married. Oh no. Rather, he feels left out. He’s always been one of the boys, but all his drinking buddies are now tied up in the dreaded bond of matrimony, and so CP starts to feel like his peers have moved on ahead without him, and this makes him feel slightly panicked.
Fifthly, he is convinced there is a better woman for him around every corner, and so it’s no real surprise he often feels trapped when the woman he is currently with starts pressing him about commitment. Ironically, being such an avidly devoted corner man, CP hates to feel cornered. (My advice to CP is to set up a corner cafĂ©. Then he can keep his eye on passing women, and indulge his love of turning corners to an unlimited degree).
To sum up, if CP was a bee, he’d be a killer bee, because of his defensive strategies, and his dangerous habit of murdering a woman’s affections with his swarming tactics. He guards his hive aggressively, and is determined to keep it off-limits to any female bee who might take it in mind to try and get past his defences.
Sadly, he’ll constantly comb the countryside looking for his latest Honey, but he’ll never ever find his pot of gold at the end of the rainbow….
