New Release: At Sun's Rising

I'm thrilled to introduce an addition to the Sunscapes universe, the scifi romance novella, At Sun's Rising! The future hinges on Tycho and Nadya discovering the secrets of dangerous megalomaniac, Webster Griffin. Can a scientist and a spy save the galaxy? Join their adventure...

~Blurb~

Tycho, a cleric in the Order of the White Sun, is a scientist, not a spy, yet he agrees to go undercover in a secret lab owned by criminal mastermind Webster Griffin. His only contact with the outside world is Nadya, a cleric from the Blue Order, an experienced operative—and a sensual temptation.


Nadya is delightfully drawn to her new partner, but she can't afford distractions. She has to support him and pass his findings along to her superiors…without getting them both killed. Will they uncover Griffin's secrets or become more victims in his bloody rise to domination?


~Excerpt~

Catching him by surprise, she rose on her toes and brushed a soft kiss at the corner of his mouth. “Dream of me, blue eyes,” she murmured before slipping past him into her transport.

Tingling all over and still feeling the soft, luscious press of her lips, he stared at the closed hatch for a full minute before he could catch his breath. At this moment, he wasn’t sure which was more dangerous—working for Webster Griffin or dealing with a Blue cleric.

New Release: Dawn of the Red Sun

I'm thrilled to introduce the conclusion to the Sunscapes Trilogy, Dawn of the Red Sun! This story follows Kai Shay and Liaena Griffin as they fight for their loved ones and try to save the galaxy. Can love cross enemy lines?

~Blurb~
Being the daughter of a megalomaniac isn’t easy. Liaena Griffin suffers abuse from her father and suspicion from his adversaries, the Shays. She’s always admired them, especially enticing Kai Shay, and needs their help to save her mother. Convincing them she’s not her father’s evil puppet won’t be a simple thing.

 Kai has never trusted Liaena, though she attracts him like no other woman. So when she offers to be their spy in exchange for rescuing her mother, his misgivings multiply. They can’t pass up this opportunity in their fight to prevent Webster Griffin from dominating the galaxy. But keeping his hands and heart to himself may be the greatest challenge he’s ever faced.

As the epic conflict between their families draws to a close, Kai and Liaena struggle to find common ground. How do they save loved ones from a tyrant’s rule without falling for each other?

~Excerpt~
As she accepted her package of goodies with an air of satisfaction he said, “I see Sin’s converted you to the dark side.”

“The shop on your station has a fine selection of chocolates, but this vendor has candies I’ve never even seen before.” She lifted the package and pointed to one of her finds. “He calls this one Spiced Heaven. Would you like a taste?”

 

“Of so many things,” he purred, letting his gaze take a slow walk from her pointing finger along the silky skin of her arm and throat to her mouth.

New Release: HERE THERE BE DRAGONS

HERE THERE BE DRAGONS, Sunscapes Trilogy 2
(scifi romance by Michelle O'Leary & The Wild Rose Press)
I'm so excited to bring to readers this second installment in the Sunscapes Trilogy! This is a revised edition from the original, with some new material but the same basic storyline. Happy Reading!

~Excerpt: Fairytale Prince~
Cassie slipped her arm through his, trying not to lean into his heat and strength. Grateful for his steady presence, she again became aware of all the staring faces. She also couldn’t remember the last time she’d tottered around in high heels. The cursed things were like negotiating through a constant earthquake. Any second now she was going to take a header and do a face-plant on this shiny wood floor. Wouldn’t that give their audience a show?

"At least they’re not laughing and pointing, yet,” she muttered, watching for the next pitch and roll of the floor.

“You mean at the clown on the arm of the most gorgeous woman in the room?”

She flashed Nick a disbelieving glance, then continued her surveillance of the deceptive surface under her wobbling ankles. “I think they’re taking bets on how soon I trip and fall on my face.”

“My credit’s on five minutes.” His voice was warm with humor.

Cassie stopped in her tracks, a strange pain lodging just under her ribs. She didn’t raise her head, gaze fixed on the floor in front of her feet. “Please don’t make fun of me,” she whispered.

His arm tightened on hers for a second. Then he shocked her speechless by sinking down to kneel in front of her. Settling back on his heels with hands resting on thighs, he lifted his gaze to hers, expression solemn. “I wasn’t making fun, Cass. I’m just worried about you. Those shoes are dangerous. Would you let me take them off?”

Her body reacted as if he’d just asked to strip her naked.


~Blurb~
Nick Givliani, inspector for the FPA, is investigating the Shays. He discovers their employee Cassie Draegen is more than she seems. Brilliant, inventive, and much too sexy for his peace of mind, she becomes his top suspect. He needs to find out what she’s up to before it’s too late.

As the Shays’ resident genius, Cassie is their secret weapon. Her work is at a critical stage and the last thing she needs is an FPA inspector breathing down her neck. Avoiding Nick would be the smart thing to do, but he’s as persistent as he is gorgeous. If she’s not careful, his relentless pursuit and her growing attraction might upset all their plans.

As Nick draws closer to the truth, intrigue and desire bind them together in a complicated knot. Will Cassie be able to complete her work with the Shays, or will Nick bring it crashing down upon their heads?

Blurb:
Trapped in the criminal mega-corporation, Quasicore, Del tries to escape only to become entangled with the dazzling, dangerous Shays. Sinsudee Shay’s offer of protection and employment seems too good to be true. He has to find out if Shay Enterprises is a rival of the Core or a partner in crime.

Sin needs a pilot for her courier service. Rescuing Del from the Core is an added bonus, but he’s more than she bargained for. She’s too drawn to her new employee who’s intuitive enough to question her motives. He could ruin her and her brother’s plans.

Torn between loyalty to family and desire for one another, Destin and Lia struggle to find the right path. Can they save their world and each other? Will finding the Vessel bind them together or drive them apart forever?

New Release: LAST CHANCE

I'm thrilled to announce the release of my scifi romance, Last Chance, Sunscapes Trilogy 1, from The Wild Rose Press! This story was revised and edited, so this release is a new edition of the book.

~Excerpt: Slow Seduction~

Should’ve hit him a few more times,” he muttered with a spark of grim violence in his eyes, but his touch was infinitely gentle, his thumb brushing over the abused flesh.

Well, I would have, but you knocked him out,” she said, trying for a light tone, but a shiver of yearning ruffled the sound.

His expression lightened, a fleeting smile passing over his mouth, but he didn’t lift his gaze. His thumb made soothing, mesmerizing passes over her skin. “How bad does it hurt?”

“Not bad,” she whispered as his thumb skimmed her lip, leaving behind a tingling line.

He hummed, leaning toward her with a faint, absorbed frown. “Maybe we should put ice on it.”

The words barely registered. She watched with her breath caught in her throat as he bent his head to hers. He moved slow, giving her time to pull away, but Sin went still with the effort not to lean into his touch and turn her mouth to his like a supplicant.

Give Authors a Gift

The Notorious November book party on Facebook was a rousing success, thanks to the great turnout and enthusiasm of all who attended.

I had a fabulous time chatting with readers and authors, learning about new books, and adding to my TBR pile. I even won a book, which was a thrill, since I don't often win in contests. As I stared at my winnings, I realized what a sacrifice the author made, giving away their hard work. Though the book has a few reviews under its belt, I know how important each one is to authors, so I'm going to add my own review. I hope all the other book winners from the party will do the same.

Reviews are critical to authors for both feedback and marketing. If you want to honor an author in a way that means more than anything, post a review of their book. It only takes a moment to jot down one or two lines, and it means the world to us authors!
