Publisher's Summary
</h3>
<div class="adbl-content">
A proud, tormented warrior....<br />
Laird Taveon Kraig
would do anything to recover a magical amulet powerful enough to break
the curse that has plagued his clan for a hundred years - even marry a
woman determined to hate him. But the beautiful - albeit boldly defiant -
woman stirs his passion like no other. He never dreamed his quest would
involve surrendering his heart. <br />
<br />
A blind sculptress.... <br />
Having
survived two ruthless marriages, Viviana Gorini Dè Medici has no desire
to take another husband - especially one who wants her most prized
possession: a magical amulet that provides her with the gift of sight.
Despite her pleas, she is forced into the marriage and sent on a
dangerous journey with a man whose charms melt her defenses, whose touch
sets her on fire, and whose kiss stirs her body in a way she's never
known. <br />
<br />
A wicked enemy.... <br />
Surrendering completely to an
ecstasy that binds their hearts, neither of them foresees the sinister
threat waiting to destroy both of their worlds. In a family torn apart
by a centuries old curse, will love be enough to save them all?</div>

Translation: it's H(((O)))T!<br /><br />Here's the blurb:<br /><p align="left">Two years is too bloody long to be abstinent, especially when one is married to the insatiable Sebastian Falkner, Earl of Warwick.</p> <p class="gwen">Countess Alexandra Falkner is desperate to get her husband back in her bed, including performing in the risqué production of Educating Aphrodite. She knows Sebastian will choose the masked woman who performs in the finale with him and his best friend, sexy theatre manager and hypnotist, Vincent Delacroix, and she intends to be the temptress who catches his eye. Unfortunately, she lacks the confidence and experience she needs to have sex with two men in front of an audience. She solicits Delacroix’s skills as a hypnotist to empower her. What she gets is an education in seduction that leads her heart astray.</p> <p class="gwen">Will she lose sight of her goal in Delacroix’s arms?</p><p style="text-align: center;" class="gwen">***********************************************<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;" class="gwen"><a href="http://www.jasminejade.com/ps-8919-50-educating-aphrodite.aspx">BUY NOW!!!</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;" class="gwen">***********************************************</p><p class="gwen">CHAPTER ONE<br /><br />“Have you completely lost your wits?” Vincent Delacroix stood upright behind his pine desk and wrenched his fingers into pitch-black hair. “You’re the bloody Countess of Warwick for God’s sake! A lady of noble breeding. Not a common doxy.”<br /><br />Unable to hold his boiling black glare, Alexandra twisted her gloves in her lap and blew a white-blonde curl from her eyes. “My husband obviously doesn’t want a lady in his bed.”<br /><br />“Christ, Alexandra!” His harsh tone indicated his opposition, and she’d yet to tell him the whole of her plan. “Your husband is the proprietor of the Piacere Theatre. Not to mention a close friend.”<br /><br />“Which is why I came to you.” Perhaps this was madness. Perhaps loneliness drove her toward lunacy, but she was desperate to rekindle the passion in her marriage. Unfortunately, she lacked the courage and experience to accomplish her task without Delacroix’s assistance.<br /><br />“I cannot begin to fathom why you would go to such measures.”<br /><br />The light-blue silk choker that matched her eyes seemed to tighten around an expanding knot of frustration. She swallowed it hard and raised her pale lashes to Delacroix. “Sebastian and I have not been…intimate since I conceived Edward.”<br /><br />The angry lines between Delacroix’s dark brows disappeared. He scrubbed his tightly groomed black beard in obvious astonishment. “Your son is nearly a year old.”<br /><br />Shame burned her face and stung her eyes. Alexandra bit back the tears and looked down the expanse of her fashionable gold gown trimmed with frills and flounces and lace. At twenty-three, she was fit and well-kept and upheld her role as Countess of Warwick with elegance and grace, but hidden beneath layers of perfumed petticoats was a woman that no longer appealed to her husband. “It has taken me months to accept the fact Sebastian no longer desires me.”<br /><br />“Forgive me. I did not know.” Delacroix rounded the desk to kneel in front of her. He captured her cold wringing fingers then raised her hands to his warm lips. He kissed one, then the other, and offered her a sympathetic look that began to tear the thin layer of restraint guarding her temper.<br /><br />“I don’t want your pity. I want your help.”<br /><br />“I’ll help you.” His agreement came quicker than she’d expected. “What exactly is it you had in mind?”<br /><br />Hope swirled behind her breast. She sat up taller. “I want to dance in Saturday night’s performance of Aphrodite.”<br /><br />Shock widened his dark brown eyes. He stabbed a finger between his cravat and neck and yanked. “You know about the performance?”<br /><br />“I know everything.” She knew about the actresses slated to dance at the Piacere Theatre. They were the same women who warmed her husband’s bed and satisfied his carnal appetite. “I know Sebastian is playing the role of Adonis and will select the woman who performs in the finale. I also know that same woman will attend him privately the remainder of the night. I want to be the temptress behind the mask who catches his eye.”<br /><br />Delacroix stood and walked away from her to a side table where he poured himself a hefty noggin of bourbon. “Then you’re willing to defile yourself before an audience.” He angled his chin over his shoulder. “With me.”<br /><br />Heat crawled up Alexandra’s neck, spread across her face, then scalded the tips of her ears. That was the one obstacle she hadn’t quite figured out how to get around. The literal climactic ending included three players—Aphrodite and her two lovers, Ares and Adonis. More specifically, Sebastian and Delacroix. She’d never been with anyone other than Sebastian. And she’d certainly never been with two men at the same time. But her faithfulness had gained her naught but an empty bed. “I am willing to resort to whatever means are necessary to have my husband back in my bed.”<br /><br />“Warwick will kill me if I agree to this.” He emptied the contents of his glass in one loud gulp.<br /><br />“I do not need your permission to take the stage. I own the theatre. But I lack the confidence and the experience to play the role, which is why I need you to hypnotize me.”<br /><br />Delacroix paused for long moments, no doubt contemplating her request.<br /><br />“Please, Vincent. I cannot continue to live like this. I feel like a widow in the latter months of her mourning period.” This shell of isolation grew colder every day and she feared she would freeze to death waiting for Sebastian to warm her again.<br /><br />Delacroix exhaled a fierce breath then removed his cravat and waistcoat. “Let it be known that I’m doing this against my better judgment.” He pivoted on his heel and splayed his long fingers toward a fainting couch. “Lie down, Alexandra.”<br /></p>Kimberly Killionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15796301977852855121noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30363147.post-46253054249945269992011-01-04T04:58:00.000-08:002011-01-04T05:07:29.889-08:00Mammoth Book of Scottish Romance is officially out!<span style="font-size:100%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://kimberlykillion.com/images/MBOScottish_288.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 441px;" src="http://kimberlykillion.com/images/MBOScottish_288.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></span><span style=";font-family:";font-size:100%;" >Today is the official release date of the Mammoth Book of Scottish Romance!!!</span> <p><span style=";font-family:";font-size:100%;" >There are some fabulous authors penning wild and passionate tales of highland flings.

The rope binding her wrists stung, and her battered legs ached where Hector had pushed her down the steps of the keep. But none of it compared to the fear clutching her insides.

I swear it,” Sorcha pleaded between chattering teeth. She considered reminding him that he hadn’t come to her bed in over two years, but knew ’twas useless to defend herself.

The pain stinging her cheek was soon forgotten when Hector kicked her in the side. She heard her rib crack just before an unbearable streak of pain shot through her very core. She couldn’t fight, couldn’t think, couldn’t breathe. The coppery tinge of blood spread over her tongue as she rolled onto her stomach. She spit a string of crimson and pulled herself forward by her bound hands.</span></p> <p><span style=";font-family:Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;font-size:100%;" >“Think ye I dinnae hear ye chant your spells in the old language?” Hector wrenched her back to her feet.</span></p> <p><span style=";font-family:Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;font-size:100%;" >If she were half the witch he accused her of being, then she might possess the power to save herself.

It's stunning!!!<br /><br />Wanna know more???<br /><br />TAMING A HIGHLAND DEVIL<br />An erotic Scottish novella<br />Available 02.09.11<br />From <a href="http://www.jasminejade.com/ps-8962-50-taming-a-highland-devil.aspx">Ellora's Cave</a><br /><br />A CHOICE...<br /><br />Laird Magnus Sutherland loves women. His prowess in the bedchamber has earned him the name Devil of Dunrobin, but no woman has ever stirred his heart. Magnus needs to provide his clan with an heir, which is the only reason he agrees to marry the neighboring chieftain’s sister. When his betrothed arrives, he discovers the chieftain has two sisters. If Magnus must bind himself to one woman, he intends to discover which is best suited to be his wife, for he wants more than a body to plant his seed. He wants a mate for life.<br /><br />A CHALLENGE...<br /><br />There are three reasons Lady Effie Reay refuses to vie for Laird Sutherland’s affections…<br /><br />For one, she is thirty-two and would surely lose a competition to her beautiful, younger sister. Secondly, Laird Sutherland is a well-reputed rake, and she holds no desire to wed another faithless man. And thirdly, the sight of him makes her tingle, shiver and ache.<br /><br />Will Effie be successful in thwarting Magnus’ advances, or will her body succumb to a temptation that can only lead to heartbreak?Kimberly Killionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15796301977852855121noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30363147.post-58482029242094970432010-12-08T04:20:00.000-08:002010-12-08T04:20:46.930-08:00Hot Damn Designs founder Kimberly KillionI'm blogging at NINC today!

much great news I don't know where to start...<br /><br />Let's see...I got my cover for EDUCATING APHRODITE. Isn't she beautiful? Edits are turned in and the release date is set for Jan 5. I hope you'll all check out this how little number. It is my first published Victorian as well as my first ménage. *gasp*<br /><br />I have more good news...I sold a second novella to Ellora's Cave! TAMING A HIGHLAND DEVIL is a set in the Highlands of Scotland. Yes, my little jaunt to London didn't last long. :) If you liked my single titles, then you will love Magnus's story. It's short, but it packs a lot of meat! *wicked grin*<br /><br />Just a week ago I was informed that EDUCATING APHRODITE and TAMING A HIGHLAND DEVIL are both finalist in the erotic category of the 2011 Emily contest. This is a very prestigious contest and I’m so thrilled to have both my stories make the cut.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">There’s more! Can you believe it? I don’t often talk about my unpublished work here on my blog, but I just found out yesterday that CARIBBEAN SCOT is a finalist in the 2010 MERWA synopsis writing contest! This is huge because I hate suck-nopses! HATE them and being a finalist lessens that venomous hatred inside me. *giggle*</p> <p class="MsoPlainText">Oh, and I found out today that HIGHLAND DRAGON sold to Thailand! I also learned today that HIGHLAND DRAGON was chosen to be a "Fresh Pick" at <a href="http://www.FreshFiction.com">www.FreshFiction.com</a>!<span style=""> </span>Here’s their spiel: </p> <p class="MsoPlainText">[The Fresh Pick is chosen by a group of readers and is never a purchased advertisement or promotion.

I'm meeting myself coming and going, but the pace keeps me young. ;)<br /><br />The biggest news...I sold an erotic Victorian set novella to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Ellora's</span> Cave! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Whoot</span>! I just got my release date and you'll be able to get your hands on this yummy little tale on January 5!!! That's just one day after the release of the Mammoth Book of Scottish Romance where you can read HIS <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">MAGICK</span> TOUCH.<br /><br />That's right two releases one day apart! Whew! How cool is that, really?<br /><br />I also just found out HIGHLAND DRAGON sold to Germany. The new title is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Magic</span> of the Highlands which I think <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">should</span> pretty cool, though there's no "magic" in the book until you count the romance. *wink*<br /><br />Lastly, (and this is really what's been keeping me busy) I've been working really hard getting my design business going and it seems I did too good of a job because I'm swamped!

I had a great time today, chatting up my neighbor vendor, Rich and Kathy (the lye soap maker) and the sword demonstrator, the leather maker, the jewelry maker...And then there was "Tammy", the kewl blonde who drove me to the gas station so we could sneak back some booze. I mean seriously...a Celtic Festival with no ale?!?! What's up with that?<br /><br />The honored clan was Clan MacLeod, which to my luck is Calin's clan in Highland Dragon, so I knew a thing or two about that particular clan. It was a beautiful day, though it threatened rain once or twice. I was lucky enough to be under a tree, so the sprinkles didn't get me. :) Now the bad news about this tree...I must have had a dozen "creatures" fall straight into my bodice. Ewww!<br /><br />I was surprised how many readers there were there. Sales were good!

If I have a personal issue, I'm not one to cry about it to my co-workers or friends. Perhaps it's that quality that makes me a determined writer. Perhaps I'm out to prove to the world that I am a capable of transporting a reader to another time and place. It is my love for the genre that gets me up at 3:00 am to spend time with my characters.<br /><br />Furthermore, when I get emails from readers telling me how much they loved my books, I get that little tingle of accomplishment. In fact, just yesterday I received this comment from a reader <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-style: italic;">"</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-style: italic;font-family:lucida sans,serif;" >I am a big fan of character development, and this book has some of the most well developed characters that I have even seen" </span><br /><br />But there will always be "those" people who just didn't care for my characters and ideas.<br /><br />OK...I admit it, I could get a 100 emails telling me how great my work is, but it's that one horrid reader who uses a handful of "ugly" words that kicks you so hard, she steals a little of that determination. She makes you think, hmmm...maybe I do suck.<br /><br />Unfortunately, this reader didn't send me the email. She posted her opinion on Amazon. Dang!<br /><br />I'll give you the play by play of what a review like this does to a writer, or at least what it did to me...<br /><br />"This book was awful." ...Oh my. Gasp. Swallow. Blink<br /><br />"The heroine was annoying, changing her mind at the drop of a hat - I thought I would scream if I read "Mercy Mary!" one more time." ...hmmm...i suppose I could have made the heroine say mother-fucker, but that really wouldn't fit into the time period. [snort] As for changing her mind, isn't that what we are supposed to do to build the conflict? She likes the hero, but knows she can't have him so she slips up from time to time. I guess I could have made the heroine a girl who goes after what she wants but then she would be shallow and viewed as a whore. hmmm...still thinking about this one<br /><br />"The plot thin and unbelievable,"...Really? Thin? Shaking head. I could go into the many layers of twists and in this book, but it would make this post rather long. And, yes, I'm defending myself on this one. Maybe it's because I spent months of my life researching and writing this book, pouring my soul into developing it, only to have this dagger thrust into the very heart of me and then twisted. (OK... that last bit was overly dramatic, but I'm reading Shakespeare right now. LOL)<br /><br />"I kept trying to finish it, but it was just too dumb." ...Wow! Dumb? Really? Dumb? Tell me what you really think. And there was the salt on the wound.<br /><br />The last thing I recall thinking after I read this review was...well, I guess it wasn't too dumb since it was nominated for a RITA. At which point I clicked "NO" the review was not helpful (because really that's all I can do) then I stuck my tongue out at the computer screen and went in search of chocolate. :)Kimberly Killionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15796301977852855121noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30363147.post-66959513923799419402010-01-03T18:03:00.000-08:002010-01-29T15:10:51.130-08:00Top 100Look who's sitting nice and snug between Diana Gabaldon and Laurell K.
