Damn, I had a lot of new books in 2014. And a lot of firsts! Let’s do a wrap-up, shall we?

THREE NIGHTS WITH A ROCK STAR was my first co-written book, with Shari Slade, kicking off our Half-Life series.

FALLING FOR THE PIRATE was my first historical romance published, and a sexy pirate romance at that

BETRAYING MERCY was one of the inaugural books in the Harlequin Digital line…. which closed its doors just a few months later. Publishing, man. It’s a ride! (But the book is still available!)

ONE KISS WITH A ROCK STAR is the second book in the sexy rocker series with Shari Slade, featuring a pop princess and a subby rocker. Yay!

WINTER RAIN is an anthology I’m in with lovely authors Serena Bell, Delphine Dryden, Alexis Hall, and others. PLUS all proceeds go to RAINN.

And lastly, I squeezed in a Christmas novella at the end of the year. MAKING HER MELT has an interracial couple and smoking hot sexiness.

If you missed any, you can find ALL of these at the following places:

Thank you for making 2014 a great year!

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season. I’m excited to share the sexy, sweet Christmas novella MAKING HER MELT, which is available now!

Lia has her perfect life mapped out after college–including her long term boyfriend Chris. But that will mean leaving her best friend Ethan behind, so how can that be perfect? Lia wants them both, but when things heat up, she’ll have to choose where her true future lies.

This Christmas, forbidden passion is sparking a fire… and MAKING HER MELT.

This novella is set in the same Dearling, Texas world as CHANCE OF RAIN, although it completely stands alone. Unlike CHANCE OF RAIN, this story is new adult and a little taboo, considering the hero is her boyfriend’s best friend.

Here’s an excerpt…

Ethan grit his teeth as Lia launched into her third story about how great Chris was. And yes, Chris was smart and funny and obviously kicking ass at the internship with a state senator. But did she have to sound so breathless when she talked about him?

He’d brought this on himself.

Yes, of course he’d go with her, anywhere, anytime, like he was some kind of stand-in boyfriend. Just walk and talk and laugh with her, but don’t go home with her. No, she was going home to Chris.

Chris, who had emailed him after the phone call. Thx for covering.

As if they were still back in Afghanistan, covering each other’s asses. But Lia wasn’t a shift they could trade or a ration he could lend. She wasn’t a barrage of gunfire he could deflect. She was Chris’s girlfriend, and Ethan needed to fucking remember that.

No matter how hot she looked with a handful of kettle corn.

“God,” she moaned. “This is so freaking good. Why did you never tell me this was so freaking good?”

Maybe because you’re making sex noises, and if you keep that up, my dick’s going to be hard. He wasn’t sure which bothered him more, stories about Chris’s general awesomeness or Lia’s kettle corn orgasms every time she took a bite.

Her lips would be sticky by now, coated in caramelized sugar and salt. He’d give anything just for one lick, but she wasn’t his to taste. She wasn’t his at all. The only thing he could do was grip the steering wheel and glare at the dark Austin roads as he drove.

Wind whipped inside the truck cab, coming in through the tilted rear windows where Oreo had his nose pressed to the night air, ears flopping wildly.

“Chris thinks the senator’s going to run,” Lia said.

Chris worked for a state senator who was considering a run for the House of Representatives. Ethan knew he had big plans for his representative’s career—and his own career, eventually. There would be travel, and eventually, an apartment in DC. Lia would be gone, and Ethan would have no reason to hang around anymore.

No reason to stay and nowhere else to go.

“Maybe you can look for a teaching position in Washington,” he managed to say in a normal voice.

She gave him a strange look. So maybe not that normal. “I’m going to stay in Austin,” she said, but he didn’t believe her. Couldn’t believe her. Chris would end up spending more time in DC, especially once he made the inroads he wanted to. Especially when he ran for office. And Lia would be there to support him, because that was the kind of wife she would be.

He was suddenly grateful he hadn’t eaten any kettle corn. He might have chucked it back up.

“Well,” he forced out. “Maybe you should keep your options open. You can take the full time job as an aide as a temporary thing until you and Chris figure out where you’re going to live.”

She looked annoyed now. “I already know where I’m going to live. The same place I’m living now.”

Why the hell couldn’t he leave this alone? But he couldn’t. It bothered him that she was acting like things would stay the same. “You’re going to be graduating in a few weeks, Lia.”

“Thanks for the newsflash, Ethan.”

“That means I can’t meet you and Chris on campus for lunch between classes.”

“So we’ll see each other after work,” she said. Stubbornly.

He closed his eyes briefly before focusing on the road again. Nothing but darkness, the trees a shadow wall pointing toward home. Lia’s home with Chris, the place Ethan didn’t belong. All three of them were friends, but things had already begun to change when Chris had graduated this past spring and gone to work for the representative full time.

“Everything will be different,” he said, unable to say more. Unable to say, I can’t be alone with you anymore.

Even tonight had been a mistake.

MAKING HER MELT is currently available from Amazon and All Romance Ebooks. The other book retailers should have it go live within a couple of days.

Also! Last year I had a historical Christmas novella, but it was only available as part of an anthology. In case you missed it, you can now get LETTERS AT CHRISTMAS as a standalone novella on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iBooks.

Here’s what people had to say about this one:

“Letters At Christmas has created an Amber Lin fan out of me… Finishing a novella and feeling happily satisfied is one of the best feelings, and Letters At Christmas succeeded. Hale and Sidony’s relationship is the perfect mixture of pure and sensual. Their love for one another was undeniable, even during their heartbreaking moments.” —Romantic Moments Book Blog

“I thoroughly enjoyed this delightful story from the first page. Hale’s campaign to win back Sidony’s heart entranced me and I was rooting for him throughout the book. Sidony is feisty and smart, a very loveable heroine.” —Romantic Historical Reviews

Between contemporary and historical, I’ve got you covered for steamy reads this winter

It’s cover reveal day for my sexy holiday story, Making Her Melt! I love this cover a lot–she looks so sensual and thoughtful and melancholy. Which fits the heroine perfectly…

Lia has her perfect life mapped out after graduation–including her long term boyfriend. But that will mean leaving her best friend behind, so how can that be perfect? Lia wants them both, but when things heat up, she’ll have to choose where her true future lies.

The novella does stand alone, but it’s set in the same world as Chance of Rain. A character or two might make an appearance

Making Her Melt will release in early December!

Winter Rain is out today!! This anthology is a joint effort with some amazing authors, including my friends USA Today bestselling author Serena Bell and Delphine Dryden, and many more. My story is a sexy contemporary set in a beach town with a military hero and the bartender he left behind.

All proceeds will be donated to RAINN, which is an amazing cause. AND for release week, the anthology is only 99 cents!!

What happens when love gets caught in the rain?

In this second volume in the Love in the Rain series, Del Dryden’s heroines find shelter from a powerful thunderstorm in their feelings for each other, while Alexis Hall’s heroes find the past between them washed clean by falling rain. Inara Scott’s hero and heroine upend their lives with a kiss in the rain, while Serena Bell’s characters set their world to rights in a winter storm. Rain helps Amber Lin’s lost lovers find each other, light morning rain washes away evidence of a goddess’s visit in Suleikha Snyder’s story, and rain-slicked city streets provide a backdrop for a burgeoning romance in Tamsen Parker’s tale. Rainy days bring solace to Cole McCade’s hero, while Stacy Reid’s heroine makes a bold journey toward love in a raging storm. Nine romance novelettes, edited by Sarah Frantz.

All proceeds from the volume will be donated to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (www.rainn.org), the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the United States.

I’m so excited to share my new book release. One Kiss with a Rock Star explores public/private identities and bisexuality and the things we sacrifice for love. Oh, and it’s crazy sexy too

Half-Life Bassist Krist Mellas is caught in a PR nightmare after his dirty sex video blew up online. His agent has the solution: a fake engagement with sultry pop princess Madeline Fox. Krist can’t think of anything worse than a charade with the bubblegum bombshell…except losing the band.

Madeline knows better than anyone what it means to live a lie in the spotlight. She’s determined to help Krist without ever letting him find out what it costs her—or about her girlhood crush on him. But after a smoking hot back alley encounter with him leaves her breathless, she can’t deny she wants the snarling bad-boy rocker.

In a world of glitter and diamonds where the kisses are fake but the climaxes are real, their facades start to crack. And the publicity storm may shatter them both.

WARNING: This book contains a scorching threesome, a dirty talking pop princess, and a surly rocker who hits all the right notes.

If you’re interested in a VERY sexy book, you can read One Kiss with a Rock Star right now! This is the second book in the Half Life series, after Three Nights with a Rock Star, but each one can be read separately.

I also hugely appreciate anyone sharing the release on Facebook or Twitter or Goodreads or your blog or anywhere! In fact, you can use the image below…

Boom! Pretty, right? Shari and I love it!

Here’s the blurb…

Half-Life Bassist Krist Mellas is still in the media doghouse after a sex video blew up online months ago. His agent has the solution: a fake engagement with sultry pop princess Madeline Fox to prove he’s got his shit together. Krist couldn’t care less about public opinion, but Madeline has an image problem too—and he owes her a favor.

Madeline knows better than anyone what it means to live a lie in the spotlight. She’s determined to help Krist without ever letting him find out what it costs her—or about her girlhood crush on him. But after a smoking encounter in the back alley of an exclusive club, she can’t deny she wants the surly rocker.

In a world of glitter and diamonds, where pretend kisses feel all too real, their facades start to crack. And the publicity storm may shatter them both.

***WARNING: This book contains a scorching threesome with girl on girl action, a dirty talking pop princess, and a gruff rocker who hits all the right notes.***
