Thanks for the opportunity to share!

He’s an elite vampire from a distant planet…an Alpha of the Blood.
But he’s no match for one spunky and opinionated Earth woman!

The Alphas of the Blood are an elite, alien race of vampires. They escaped a devastated planet that was overrun with plague-infected beasts and came to Earth for a chance at a new life…a new beginning. The change is bitter-sweet for Zeenon Akba, who lost much of his family in the plague wars and fears his only brother might have carried the infection to Earth with him. But when Zee stumbles upon a pretty human female being stalked by an infected, he’s determined to help her, even if it means killing his own brother. Aware of their many differences and the necessity of finding a blood slave to be his mate, Zee doesn’t intend to lose his heart to pretty and spunky Brooke Carlin. So why can’t he get her out of his mind?

He’s running from heartbreak. She’s chasing after love… Their hearts will never be the same.

Paige Morgan has lived her entire life in the glare of her fraternal twin sister’s star.

This blurb is from ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID, book three of my Left at the Altar series:

Dani Dipietro has always considered herself an ugly duckling in a family of swans. She's the bridesmaid her friends count on, but never the woman any man wants for his bride. So she plays the funny girl and guards her emotions, and her secrets, closely.

When Zach Morrison was dumped at his wedding, Dani was there to help him through the humiliation. A year later they meet again and once more Zach needs her help. To fend off the unwanted attentions of his former fiancé, he asks Dani to pretend to be his girlfriend. They play their roles a little too well, and make believe turns into reality. But their relationship comes crashing down around them when Zach's trust issues cause him to accuse Dani of cheating. Telling the truth means that Dani will betray a friend, something she will never do. But keeping her secrets means she may be destined to remain a bridesmaid forever.

Thank you!

Here's the back cover blurb from my novella, An Afternoon Tryst written under the penname Modeska Rose. It's an erotic short story that has a wonderful twist.

Blurb:
Pretty, curly-headed Marissa is struggling in her five-year marriage. Her husband seems to have pulled away and the close intimacy they used to share has gone. When she meets Cole, a tall, handsome construction worker in the fruit department of their local grocery store, she is at once mesmerized and this encounter leads to the beginning of a steamy afternoon affair where it seems he fulfills all of her desires with hot, steamy sex and a rose-petaled bubble bath.

Marissa craves the excitement and closeness that she used to share with her husband, but can’t let go of Cole who treats her like a rare and precious jewel, giving her everything her marriage is lacking. As she struggles to get through each day, anticipating their next tryst, Marissa knows that she must resolve this dilemma, but the attraction she feels for Cole draws her back again and again.

Can Marissa find a way to get past the transgression of having an affair? Is her love for her husband strong enough to help her find a way to make the changes necessary to once again find the love and intimacy she longs for?
