I've been barely able to contain myself this past two weeks,
just bursting to tell you the good news, and now at last I can. Not only can I
tell you that my steamy contemporary romance novel, The Tutor, has been
snapped up by the Totally Entwined imprint of Totally Bound, but I can now
reveal the gorgeous cover which sizzles with the creative genius of Emmy Ellis.
The Tutor has a very special place in my heart because it had its
beginnings last October at Smut Manchester during Kay Jaybee's wonderfully wicked "trip to the supermarket" workshop
on inspiration. We were all given an item from the supermarket shelf and told
we'd been called over the loudspeaker to go to the stockroom. From that we were
to write the beginnings of a story about what we'd find in the stockroom and
what we'd do with our item in said stockroom. I still remember the smug little
smirk on Ms. Jaybee's face when she handed me the slip of paper that read A
tin of pears in heavy syrup. I never imagined in my wildest dreams
that before the weekend was out, I'd have the seeds for a novel that just had
to be written. In fact, it needed to be written so badly that I signed up for
NaNoWriMo -- National Novel Writing Month in November and wrote the whole 95K
in one month! Here's just a taste of the end result. Enjoy!
Blurb:
Struggling writer, Kelly Blake has a secret life as a sex tutor.
Celebrated sculptor and recluse, Alexander ‘Lex’ Valens, can’t stand to be
touched. When he seeks out Kelly’s advice incognito, the results are too hot to
handle. When Kelly terminates their sessions due to what she considers her
unprofessional behavior, Lex takes a huge risk, revealing his identity to her
at a gala exhibition, his first ever public appearance. When Kelly helps the
severely haphephobic Lex escape the grope of reporters and paparazzi, rumors
fly that the two are engaged, rumors encouraged by well-meaning friends and
colleagues. The press feeding frenzy forces Kelly into hiding at Lex’s mansion where
he convinces her to be his private tutor just until the press loses interest,
and she can go back home. They discover quickly that touch is not essential for
sizzling, pulse-pounding intimacy. But intimacy must survive the secrets
uncovered as their sessions become more and more personal.
