Today I am giving you a taste into Fiery Magic, Devon Falls 3, my dragon shifter story

My shifters are a little different…..each can control their shift and are not seduced by the  moon or anything.

 
Meet Damien Dracon, one of my twin’s in my Devon Falls Series. A Dragon Shifter, he finds himself trying to woo back the woman he loves after he broke her heart. Love can be sweeter a second time around!

What reviewers are saying:
 
“…I completely adore the characters, their connections and the way Delight entwines Damien and Alicia by having such a tight connection from their past…” CBLS
 
Damien Dracon is back in Devon Falls, and he is about to woo the one lady he left three years ago. Family secrets and youthful pride forced him to give up the one good thing in his life: the love of Alicia Stevens. What he doesn’t expect is that Alicia has a secret of her own, and it may just tear them apart.

Can two former lovers find it in themselves to forgive one another and let love grow between them? Or will past secrets haunt them and tear them apart?

 
Teaser Excerpt:
 

The stars twinkled brightly in the night sky and with a full moon out, he decided to walk through town before heading home. A breeze ruffled his hair lightly as he sauntered down the street. A light on at the Dew Drop Café caught his gaze and a shadow walked past the window. He jogged lightly across the street and almost fell through the glass pane at the sight of Alicia, weaving her way around the cases. He watched the way she moved, fluid-like and with a grace that he could never find, no matter how hard he tried with the other women. Her red hair hung in a loose ponytail that he suddenly itched to take down. His eyes widened when her lush, voluptuous body had him aching to see her in all its natural glory. Hers was the most desirable body he had ever seen. The blood rushed to his cock, straining the front of his jeans.

He whistled softly. He never thought she would become a woman that looked so voluptuous and sexy! It was quite an eye-opener, especially when she bent over to clean the case of pastries and her jeans tightened around her rounded ass. Groaning at the vision in front of him, his blood burning with a need to possess her, Damien tried to still his racing lust. When he left her, she still had that coltish look of a young lady on the verge of womanhood. To see her like this, so lush and desirable, it made him sad to know he wasn’t the one to see her grow into being the woman he knew she could be. What man wouldn’t be lucky to have her as a mate and mother of his children?

Watching her dance to a tune only she could hear focused Damien’s attention on the way she moved. As he watched her dance around the cases and tables, he found himself longing to dance with her. Thinking how her body would curve around his made him shudder with a hot need that had him rock-hard and aching for something that he hoped he could experience again — if she didn’t kick him in the balls first and then toss him out the door.

The lights dimmed, and then went off. A moment later, he heard a car start and drive off. He sighed at the loneliness he felt even more acutely. Damien resumed walking, thoughts racing through his brain like a wildfire out of control. Why can’t I just go in and talk to her? Am I being an utter ass, thinking she will welcome me with opens arms? I have to see her, touch her, explain things, and hope she will forgive me enough to give us another try. This time I won’t leave her and fly to parts unknown. I will do whatever it takes for her to trust me again and give me another chance. I know I screwed up big time. But I am going to fight for her and the love I hope is still there.

Now a little about Red Hot magic…..enjoy!

Raven Demarco has sworn off men after one too many disastrous dates and soon begins dreaming of a mystery man who makes her feel things that she never expects to feel again. When the auction comes closer, her sensual dreams become more than she can handle and she finds herself wishing her dream man would show up and sweep her off her feet. What will she do when the man himself comes to claim her: Heart, body and soul?

Jean-Claude LeFever is a dream walker and has searched for years for his mate and finally found her in Raven. With his seduction of her in her dreams driving them wild, he makes sure to come to Devon Falls and make her his for all time as time is running out for him and their love. If she doesn’t fall in love with him by midnight, Jean-Claude is destined to walk the planes of dreams for the next hundred years before finding his love again. Can he be able to steal her heart and make her his for all time? Or will it be too late for them?

Adult Teaser:

Soon it was time for the man of the hour. It seemed the energy in the room went up a hundredfold. The women looked as if they eagerly awaited a rock star.

Raven saw from the corner of her eye, Jenna smiling at Marc craftily. They were up to something, but what was beyond her grasp at the moment. Raven turned her full attention to the stage where the most magnificent man walked amid the catcalls and cheers, so supremely handsome that he took her breath away.

That chiseled face and those bright eyes…the rock-hard body in a tux tailored to look as if made just for him…the way he walked… sex on legs, all hot and molten.

God, when he turned around, the room went in a tizzy with screams. Man, did he have a nice, tight ass. Raven almost came right then and there when she thought about how her hands would feel holding on to those cheeks. It was a perfect ass in her opinion—perfect to grab, wrap her legs around, and never let go of.

The bidding started with a furious passion, and soon it soared over a thousand dollars.

“Go ahead, honey, bid on the man!” Jenna encouraged as she practically climbed out of her seat with excitement. “The dog is so cute, with its scrunched face. The colors are amazing on the Boxer. I know how you like that breed.”

Raven blinked. The man looked right at her from the end of the runway. Gulping quickly, she raised her paddle to bid twelve hundred dollars on him.

Before she knew it, she was in a bidding war with Hailey Meredith.

“Two thousand,” Raven called out.

The crowd roared as each bid went up even more.

“Two thousand five hundred!” Hailey’s voice called out.

Raven gulped and bid the last amount she knew she could afford and prayed as hard as she could, never taking her eyes off this man. “Three thousand dollars!”

The crowd groaned as no one bid again. As the gavel went down once…twice…three times, Raven almost fell off her chair in shock. The gavel rang down as sold…to her!

Stunned disbelief raced across her face as Jean-Claude came down the stairs, with Jeb. He looked at her and smiled a slow, sexy grin all too familiar…yet he was still a stranger.

Oh my god! I just won that sex god!

Update on the Devon Falls Series

Just a quick update on my series. I got exciting news….in 2012 the first five books of this series will be in print. Yep all five books in one omnibus. I am sooooo excited. I think I am still floating on air right now. *laughs* I can’t wait to see the cover for the volume 1 and once I get more news I will let you know.

Moonlight and Magic is out tomorrow. *Cue squeals and cheers* This is my first brand new, never before published Devon Falls story that I am hoping you all like. It has a white tiger shifter, a Halloween Masquerade Ball and lots of sexual tension. Plus a few sub-plots to get you excited about for another lucky couple. This story sets  up for a very special book coming late-2012 and you won’t want to miss it. I am sure you will be pleased as I am the way this one turned out. Plus you will see Rod from Haunting Magic in a way that had me giggling as I wrote it.

Now onto some news about this series that I haven’t told anyone yet….

Devon Falls is split into two parts-part 1 is the first five books with a special book in between to tie up any loose ends and all involve Magic of some kind. Afte that special book, the last–yes LAST–four books are about the last founding family, The Cravens.

The Cravens are elementals mages and the four siblings will be centered in these stories and close out the entire series.

The Craven Siblings are as follows:

 

Maxwell who is a Fire Elemental (Oldest)

Selena who is a Air elemental (Middle child)

The twins- Jorge (Earth elemental) and Lynx (water elemental). The twins might be one book but until I begin that one I am not sure. I am seeing something with that one but it isn’t clear yet in my head.

No titles yet nor do I have them plotted out. I plan to submit these at end of 2012 or early 2013-muse willing. *grins*

Now for my special news….in late 2012/early 2013, a very special book that has been hinted at since Fiery Magic and has been a sub-plot in one way or another in Haunting Magic and Moonlight and Magic is….A Devon Falls Wedding. Yep..Jenna and Marc are getting their very first full length novel. I am tieing up any loose plot points, favorite characters are coming back to help these two people celebrate their wedding plus some new characters will be introduced as well. Here is the working book blurb (may change as soon as I begin writing it):

A special event is coming to Devon Falls on a warm June afternoon…can Jenna and Marc find a way to calm their respective families before their big day goes bust?

Jenna Sinclair and Marc du Bree have fallen in love and now with a baby on the way, decide to get married as soon as possible. They never figured their families would be the cause of their problems and add in a Fae Prince who decides that Jaxon’s cousin Grady is a perfect sweet mint to devour; Jenna and Marc have their work cut out for them. Can their Devon Falls Wedding go off without a hitch or will their family & friends make them toss their hands in the air and run off to Vegas instead?

I am hoping to push this to novel length so we shall see. :-) I begin writing it once I finish three projects up and hope to get to my publisher by mid to late 2012.

Then this is done. A bittersweet moment I am thinking since I have been writing this series in one shape or form for over 6 years. But I am excited that people are loving Devon Falls and have asked for more. I might do some free stories to keep you all happy in the interim. Never know. :-)

Now go…shoo and go buy Moonlight and Magic…..I need to go sit down with my muse so we can plan the final swan song of my beloved series. Thank you for embracing this series and me. :-) I am very grateful for my readers for taking the residents of Devon Falls in their hearts.

Moonlight & Magic is out December 21st


I am sooooo excited that finally, a new, never before been published Devon Falls book is coming-NEXT WEEK. *cue squeals and cheers*

I loved writing Michael and Dixie’s story and hope you enjoy it as well. Returning to Devon Falls at Halloween is fun and I got to revisit some of my favorite characters as well as tell a few surprises in store for a certain couple. *grins*

Here is a never before sneak peek excerpt of Michael and Dixie’s first kiss.

Moonlight and Magic
Devon Falls 5
Coming to Secret Cravings Publishing 12/21/2011
Tiger Shifter/Paranormal (M/F) Romance
Can a tiger shifter convince one stubborn woman that she is his for all time and show her that falling in love is just as sinful as a chocolate kiss?
Michael Barnes is a rare white were-tiger and is tired of roaming around the world alone. Meeting his destined mate was unexpected as well. Dixie Sinclair is fun, sexy, and everything he feels he doesn’t deserve. The past has a way of coloring a person’s life and it’s up to Michael to show Dixie that he is the one to hold her heart.

PG13 Excerpt:

Scene set up-Dixie is miffed her friends got Michael to walk her home and is confused by her reaction to him. Here is where he kisses her for the first time…

As her street loomed ahead of them, she stopped at the beginning of it and stuck her hand out. “Thanks for the escort, but since I’m almost home and nothing jumped out in front of me, I think I can handle getting to my house just fine.”
“Nope. I am to escort you to the house, not the street, Dixie,” the maddening man said as he looked at her with a smile on those luscious lips. Gritting her teeth, she tried to keep her frustration out of her face, but damn it all, she was old enough to walk home. It wasn’t like there was a crime wave in Devon Falls. Far from it.
Miffed, she stomped forward and tried not to hit the lug behind her. Of all the men in the world, I had to have one with a streak of chivalry in him she thought as her house finally came in view.
Breathing a sigh of relief, she turned and ran smack dab into the broad, hard chest…the chest her hands wanted to caress and explore among other parts of his body. A slight “oomph” came out of mouth as she looked up and felt herself drown under his gaze. It was like watching a movie in slow motion. She saw his face lean down and her one thought before those luscious lips settled on hers was Man, am I in trouble now.
****
Michael leaned forward. When he finally touched those kissable lips, he felt the spark that hit him the first time he touched her turn into an inferno. Pulling her close, he felt her body mold itself around him, fitting against his, and it was pure perfection. He couldn’t get enough of her. Kissing her was like diving into fire. She was a drug he craved, and he was determined to have it.
Feeling her kiss him back had him aching in more ways than one. Sliding his tongue along her lips had her gasping. Taking advantage of that, he slipped it in and began to duel with hers. The deep kisses made him want more, but before he took her against the trees, he gathered his last shred of control. With a last, deep kiss, he took a calming breath and leaned his head against hers, his breath choppy and his jeans a tad bit too tight at the moment.

New Review for Sticky Magic WOOT

I saw a brand new review for Sticky Magic (Devon Falls 1) from Coffee Beans and Love Scenes Reviews. OMG…for me, this meant the world to me….a reviewer who really doesn’t read paranormal actually LOVED my introduction to Devon Falls. *dances with glee* A 4 cup review and here is a snippit:

“….Raine Delight had me scooped into this story. Now, keep in mind I rarely read paranormal novels but this one had a touch of the holiday spirit, which I do love immensely. The characters Jenna and Marc are so believable, lovable and the dialogue and connection are superb. …”
