From #1 bestselling author Lora Leigh comes Collision Point, part of the thrilling Brute Force series―packed with powerful men, steely women, and explosive passion.

“No one spins a story quite like Lora Leigh” (Night Owl Reviews)-and when it comes to her “highly charged and carnal” (Fresh Fiction) Breed novels, nobody does it better. Now, the #1 New York Times bestselling author tells a story of two Breeds who are united by animal desires, only to find it’s vengeance that stirs the mating heat…

Bengal’s Quest: He was a shadow, ever shifting and insinuating, able to blend in everywhere and anywhere. The elusive ideal conceived and created by the Genetics Council, he went by just as many names as he had identities- the last one being Gideon.

Now calling himself Graeme, he hides in plain sight, terrifyingly close to his goal. A rogue Bengal Breed, he has loyalties to no one but himself. And he has a need for vengeance that surges hot and swift through his veins.

Graeme plans to exact an extreme and ruthless vendetta against those who wronged Him-Breed and human alike. All will suffer his wrath: those who created him, those who pretended to love him, and those who betrayed him.

That includes the one at the center of it all: a seductive, enigmatic woman helpless against the man whose desire is just as desperate as his need to destroy.

And he’s on her scent…

From #1 bestselling author Lora Leigh comes Dirty Little Lies, a scintillating novel of the Men of Summer-and the scorching hot women who set their hearts on fire…

Dirty Little Lies: The Heart has its Secrets. Zack Richards knows he’s asking for trouble. Trying to protect a member of the notorious Maddox family could get a man killed- even a battle-scarred, muscle-ripped alpha like Zack. But the woman who has captured his wildest fantasies is nothing like the rest of her power-hungry clan. She’s innocent, beautiful, and has quickly become the one shining light in his dark, desperate world. The only woman worth fighting for…and dying for…

But Passion Never Lies. Her name is Grace Maddox- and everybody knows that she is a marked woman. Targeted for her family’s sins and hunted like a wild animal, grace has no choice but to accept Zack’s protection. In his arms, she finally feels safe. In his eyes, she sees an insatiable desire that mirrors her own. But the truth is dangerous- and could end up tearing them apart. Will surrendering to Zack end up being the biggest mistake of Grace’s life?

August 2011

The most exciting month of 2011:

MIDNIGHT SINS: The first of an exciting new trilogy that I’ve waited with eager anticipation to bring to you. Midnight Sins begins the trilogy of three friends caught in a vicious circle of blood and distrust. Micah Decker has been tormented by the night he and his friends were forced to watch Jaimma Flannigan die. Helpless, horrified, the nightmares still haunt him. As does the knowledge that the one woman he wants above all others fears him now.

Kyra Flannigan lost her sister in the brutal murders that haunted their hometown more  than a decade before. And there are those who still believe Micah, Logan, and Crowe, committed those murders. There are many who believe Wayne Sorbenson was innocent. Kyra’s parents are two of those people. Kyra has always wanted Micah. Even at a time when he had been slipping around to see her sister and she was covering for them, he’s haunted first her girlish dreams, then her adult fantasies. She can’t accept that he killed Jaimma. She can’t forget that her parents were destroyed by her sisters death, or that Wayne, the man they accused of killing her, was a close friend of her father’s.

That won’t stop Micah from going after the woman that haunts his lusts, as well as his dreams of a future. Now a local rancher, he’s fought, worked until his hands were bloody and is quickly on the road to building a legacy for the children he doesn’t yet have. He wants Kyra to be the mother of those children, the wife he’s dreamed of having. Flame haired and wild as the wind, she’s possibly untamable, most likely unattainable, but he’s going to fight like hell to seduce the little hellion into his bed. He couldn’t have imagined the hell that would open up once he does so. Or the past that will return with a vengeance when women begin dying again. Women that Micah, Logan and Crowe have a connection to.  Suspicion, fear and loyalty will tear at Kyra, until she makes the choice that endangers her life and the soul of the man she loves.

And be watching in the coming months for Logan and Crowe’s stories in Deadly Sins and Secret Sins.

LAWES JUSTICE

You’ve waited for him. You’ve begged for him. And now, it’s time for the story of the Lion Breed that has tempted your imagination and your heart.
Lawe Justice…

Mating heat gives him the Heebie Jeebies. It makes his stomach clench. It makes his teeth grind. Not because he wants to avoid it.

Sure as hell not because he’s searching for it and  can’t find it. No, it’s the woman he’s sensed is his mate, the woman that makes him insane every time they cross paths. The one woman he knows he can never, ever tame. The mercenary sister of Jonas’ mate, Diane Broen. And he doesn’t mean mercenary in the monetary sense. Oh hell no, he couldn’t be that damned lucky.  Diane is the commander of a small group of rough and ready male soldiers. A woman living on the edge, and threatening to pull him over with her.

NAUTI AND WILD TOO

And we’re saying goodbye to the new year with Christmas in Somerset, Kentucky. But we’re also saying hello to a Nauti new Series.

GIRLS ARE NAUTI TOO

In NAUTI WISHES

Gabriel Royce, the new detective assigned to Somerset’s police department, a former Marine that once fought with the Mackay cousins, has finally found a home to call his own. A wanderer and a man that’s never known stability, until the mountains of Kentucky surrounded him and one woman began to work her way into his heart.

A woman with secrets, and a family determined to keep those secrets hidden. But someone else knows the truth, just as they know the connection she has to the Mackays. A connection that’s now endangering her life.

As you can see, we have a wonderful year coming up. Do remember, I’m still behind schedule St. Martins and Berkley are doing their best to ensure the books get out on schedule, but they can’t publish them if I don’t get them finished, right? 🙂

The reissues in mass market are something I’ve been waiting on with eager anticipation. Seeing the Bound Hearts and the Nauti’s in mass market is going to be so wonderful. I hope you pick them up as well, and I hope you enjoy the second read as much as you enjoyed the first.

Thank you, the readers, for all your support, for all the enjoyment you find in my books, and for giving me the opportunity to entertain you.

Guilty Pleasure is almost complete. I believe I might have mentioned that it contains one of the hottest scenes I think I’ve ever written. It definitely surprised me when it finished. I think I was swearing a bit.

Khalid has definitely surprised me more than once. His third, Jack Fyre, has intrigued me as well. I think you’ll like Jack, I know I’ve definitely fallen in love with him. And Khalid’s brother?

Oh, did I mention Khalid has brothers? Three actually. Two are nasty bad guys though. The oldest one. Whew. Just the little bit I’ve played with him has some killer ideas hitting my head.

Heat Seeker releases tomorrow. I think I’m nervous. The plot to Heat Seeker gave me a headache or two, as well as a surprise. But John and Bailey burned in my imagination even after the book was finished. John was just hot. I couldn’t help it. He made me want to lick him.

There’s a lot of surprises, new characters and interesting twists coming soon to several of my series.

Have I mentioned the new contracts. Several in fact.

Three more books have been signed to St. Martins, though the exact details of the series or characters involved haven’t been discussed much yet.

Except for two. The Men of Summer are based on the lies men tell. Jazz and Zach have been waiting a long time to tell their lies, and now its time to let them have their turn.  I don’t have titles yet, but those should be coming soon.

So that makes five books.

Think you can handle more? How about four more novella sequels to Coopers Fall.

Did you like the bouncers Ethan Cooper employed in his bar? The Wounded Heroes series is a five set novella series featuring the rough and ready wounded heroes ready to take on more danger than they left behind in the wars that wounded them. Their stories intrigued me, and now I’m ready to sit down and see what they have to say.

We also have three more Breed books coming after Lion’s Heat, which is Jonas book. I haven’t decided the characters to use there yet, I’m still plotting and planning on those. We have a lot of books still to go, and I’m hard at work now that the move has been made and I’m settling in.

I hope you’re looking forward to everything set to release in the coming months, because I’m definitely looking forward to writing about the men and women that flit through my imagination.
