What do you have to do? Very simple.
Tell me about the weirdest BIRTHDAY gift you've ever gotten your mom and how she reacted to it.
Few Rules:
- Have to be a member of the RRP loop: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/redrosepublishing/
- Only posts to the RRP loop will count
- This contest is from now (this post) until 1am EST 13 March.

Blurb:
She wants a boyfriend for Valentine’s and her husband wants to deliver.
Tori has come to the realization that her marriage lacks the spark it had in the beginning. She and her husband argue more than anything else and she foresees a nasty break-up on the horizon if something doesn’t change. When he asks her what she wants for Valentine’s Day, her answer is scandalous and straightforward—a boyfriend.
Rather than be upset, her husband is intrigued by the idea and sets out to make it happen. Tori has set herself—and him—an impossible goal and her prospects aren’t that promising. But she’s determined to have a boyfriend in time for the most romantic holiday of the year.

In a world that fights its battles from one extreme to another, there exists a society that is dedicated to balance and the Universal Elements—The Circle of Elemental Guardians.
The Elemental Guardians answer only to the Council of Ma'at--the Ultimate Elemental Justice and their goal is simple-- to keep balance for all life. Charis Windstrom left the Elemental Guardians when their ways differed from her own on a mission gone wrong. What she never expects is to find links of the Guardians in ancient Egypt or that her curiosity would result in the unleashing of an ancient evil.
There is only one person who can help her and he's not giving up his secrets easily. Dr Nate Tolemy is not all what he appears, even if he's the Adept of Fire.
Fate forces Charis Windstrom and Nate Tolemy back together for one more mission. The last time they were together, Charis was engaged to another man, but the immediate soul connection to Nate scared her. Now he was her salvation as they follow the bloody trail of the ancient evil. Yet Nate is still keeping secrets from Charis. Part of him fears what she’ll do when she finds out the truth about his history, his former life before becoming an Adept Elemental Guardian. Part of him knows there is no other woman for him in this life or any other.
Neither one of them realizes that the ancient evil has many plans and it includes the destruction of the Elemental Guardians and the descendants of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten.
Will Nate and Charis get past their differences, the fear of attraction, and even the fear within themselves in order to work together and stop the ancient evil before it gets enough power to rule the world?

Blurb: A grandmother’s last request, a mysterious old coin, and a heartfelt wish.
Armed with a mysterious package, Angelica travels to Scotland to fulfill the requirements of her grandmother’s will. The package contains an ancient coin and a letter telling her to make one wish.
Angelica’s wish for true love sends her back in time and into the arms of a man who could make all of her dreams come true – if she’ll let him.
Excerpt:
Duncan woke, the sun shining in his eyes. The fact that the sun touched his face meant his servants had disobeyed a standing order of not entering his bedchamber without consent. They knew better, he’d made it perfectly clear in the past to never disturb him until he called for them.
His mood lightened when he realized his Angel was wrapped around his body, cuddling as close as she could, while the blankets covering her were all but stripped away from her body. Lord, she looked beautiful laying there, the sunlight glinting off her copper colored tresses. He knew it had never before been done; but he was never letting this woman go. Once he learned of her past, he was going to find a way to make her his Duchess.
Moving away just an inch, he smiled when she cuddled closer; closing the gap he’d created between them. Her hand, which rested over his heart slid lower when she moved, causing him to harden instantly. The temptation to take her again washed over him, he needed to find out who she was and where she came from.
Soft caresses along her skin evoked a lusty, low moan in Angelica. A soft, cool breeze against her skin had her cuddling closer to the warmth she felt right beside her, eliciting a groan of desire in return. Her body stilled its movements as her eyes snapped open. “Who’s there?”
“Ah my Angel, glad to see you’re finally awake. I’ve been attempting to entice you to open your beautiful emerald eyes for an hour now. You’ve been quite stubborn and may I add I’ve enjoyed every moment of it.”
“You mean this isn’t a dream?” She asked, stunned.
“You are most definitely my dream come true, Angel.”
“I… I have to go.” She cried, pulling the blanket up to her breasts trying to cover herself as she slowly scooted away from him as far as she could on the bed. “What have I done?”
“Go? Go where? I forbid it. You promised me answers this morning, my Angel, and I intend to collect them.” The determined scowl on his face propelled her out of bed with the sheet wrapped tightly around her.
“Answers? What kind of answers? I don’t know anything. I don’t even know how I got here.” Angelica felt panic rising uncontrollably within her. A full-blown panic attack just waiting to be set free. Where were her clothes?

Skin Deep
Hi everyone
This is my first time blogging here. I wanted to stop by and let readers know about my first Red Rose Publishing release, Skin Deep.
I have fun writing Skin Deep and many readers have written to let me know they enjoyed reading it. It's written confession-style in the first person from both the hero and heroine's viewpoint.
At the moment, it's listed on the Red Rose bestseller list. Here's a blurb:
A blind date? You have to be kidding!Jake gets far more than he bargains for when he agrees to allow his sister-in-law to set him up on a blind date. Bree turns out to be nothing like Jake’s ideal woman. So why can’t Jake stop pursuing the full-figured enchantress?Will Jake be able to tame his temptress?
