A Little Heat at the June Salon

To start off this summer, we are happy to bring you three more wonderful romances readings at the June Salon....

...BUT first, we're doing something a little different this month for one of our charities - Safe Space of North Carolina. They are looking for donations for their Thrift Shop, which helps to fund the charity. So instead of a slightly used romance novel, this month you can take the chance to de-clutter your space for Safe Space. So this month only,  you can bring a box or tightly tied bag of new or gently used clothes for admittance into the salon.  AND now back to our regularly scheduled blog...

Award winning author TAMMY FALKNER will read from her latest release - TALL, TATTED and TEMPTING.

She’s locked up tight. But he might be the key. 

Logan Reed is tall, tatted and tempting. Kit’s a woman with a mean right hook and a secret. 

Kit wants a tattoo, but Logan sees more than the pain and hopelessness in her drawing. He sees her. He sees her in ways no one ever has.

Logan’s not disabled; but he hasn’t spoken in eight years. He hasn’t needed to. Until he meets Kit. 

Logan doesn’t know everything about her. Kit doesn’t know anything about herself, until she has to sacrifice all she ever wanted to save what’s most important to him.

MARI FREEMAN will be reading from DIRTY LITTLE FREAKS, (before it even hits the shelves!) the second in her Valkyrie's Vow series.

Valkyries have just three rules:

1. Claim your charge.

2. Deliver said charge.

3. Make a clean exit.

Such easy rules to follow—and even easier to break.

When Swan dawdles on the job, it leads to some hot ’n’ heavy fun with two sexy Spartans. And there could be a lot more…if a meddling sibling, a mad Valkyrie and a few animated corpses don’t ruin the mood.

And GINA LAMM will read from her latest release THE GEEK GIRL AND THE SCANDALOUS EARL.

The Stakes Have Never Been Higher...

An avid gamer, Jamie Marten loves to escape into online adventure. But when she falls through an antique mirror into a lavish bedchamber—200 years in the past!—she realizes she may have escaped a little too far.

Micah Axelby, Earl of Dunnington, has just kicked one mistress out of his bed and isn't looking to fill it with another—least of all this sassy, nearly naked woman who claims to be from the future. Yet something about her is undeniably enticing...

Jamie and Micah are worlds apart. He's a peer of the realm. She can barely make rent. He's horse-drawn. She's Wi-Fi. But in the game of love, these two will risk everything to win.

February ~ the month of Candy, Roses & Lady Jane's Salon...

So, Valentine's Day only happens once a year. We, here at Lady Jane's Salon Raleigh-Durham, celebrate love and romance all year long.

This month at the salon, you can hear:

KIANNA ALEXANDER will read from her latest release KISSING THE CAPTAIN an interracial historical romance.

In 1879, near the small northern California town of Ridgeway, Lilly Warren is a young black woman who has recently lost her father. There is little time for mourning, though, as the responsibility of running the twenty-six acre farm now belongs to her. To make matters even more complex, her father has deeded the house and the land to her in his will with an interesting condition: that she share the land with a person she's never met, or forfeit ownership.

Ricardo Benigno is a Spanish captain of the Anna Juanita, a shipping vessel bringing spices and oils to the shores of California. Seeking out the farm of his old friend Leonard Warren, he discovers that the older man has passed away. To his surprise, Ricardo has also been willed joint ownership of Warren land, as long as he shares it with Lilly, Warren's only child.
The attraction between them is instant, and they both agree that marriage is the only acceptable way they can share the land. But can two people from such different worlds learn to love each other, or will Lilly's heart be broken if she dares to kiss the captain?

MARI FREEMAN will read from HOT, HARD & HOWLING, the first in her Hot, Hard series.

Nell Ambercroft hasn’t done anything wrong. Lately. So why is someone trying to kill her? When a horde of moths lead her to a puzzle box in her basement, the Demon Hafling knows she’s found a clue. The box has some serious mojo working, powerful enough to kill for…and Nell’s at the top of the hit list.

Enter Werewolf Trent Nicholas. As Prime for the area, it’s Trent’s job to protect Nell and investigate the crime. Nell knows he’d rather investigate her body, which is fine by her; she’s loved the man for years. While the sex is sizzling, Trent continues to go cold every time he leaves the warmth of her body.

Trent’s always wanted the spunky half-Demon, but the men in his family have a nasty habit of murdering their mates. He refuses to give in to his wolf’s need to claim Nell. If he doesn’t, she might not have to worry about a killer on the loose. She could die by Trent’s hand first…

And finally, AVA STONE will read from her Regency era novella By Any Other Name which can be found in the anthology THE BETTING SEASON.

Lord Cleasby bets Mr. Potsdon five hundred pounds that Lord St. Austell will bed Lady Philippa Casemore before the end of the season. ~ April 19, 1813

Lady Philippa Casemore caused quite a scene at her very first ball of her very first season. She even landed herself, somehow, on the pages of the infamous betting book at White's gentleman's club. Unfortunately, she doesn't remember one moment of the night in question. Not the music. Not the notorious rake she'd dragged into the middle of the dance floor. Not the flask of opium-laced brandy she'd downed without realizing it's contents...

Jason York, the wicked Earl of St. Austell, can't quite forget the lady who stole his breath away the previous night. Of course, his broken nose, courtesy of the girl's brother, did have a way of making an impression. When he stumbles into Lady Philippa the next day, his ego is more than bruised when she doesn't seem to recall him at all and a scheme to make certain she never forgets him again quickly forms in Jason's mind.
