“So how was it?” Amanda asks, her palm curled around a hot to-go cup filled with her precious breve latte. We’re sitting in our coffee shop, the Grind It Fresh! store directly below corporate headquarters here in the Seaport District of Boston. Ever since Declan bought the coffee chain for me–for us–as a wedding present, I’ve dreamed of meeting friends in my store.

Mine.

Didn’t quite dream this line of questioning, though.

“How was what?” I play dumb. It’s not hard. I just channel my mother.

“Conception sex?” Her eyes go wide, which makes them look like moons.

“Excuse me?”

“Is it better when you know you’re doing it to make a baby? Does it feel different? Do–” She drops her voice. “Do you feel it deeper? Like when the sperm are seeking out your egg?” Read more →

It turns out warm wax from them homemade kits feels like taking Trevor and Joe’s jizz, putting it into an eight ounce container, adding Elmer’s Glue and smearing it all over my butthole.

Which, for the record, was not one of the kinky things we ever did in bed. We had plenty of those stories between the three of us, but not this one.

Also—for the record—I appear to have the butthole of Sasquatch. I need to check with my mama some day and see if she cheated on my daddy and my real papa is Bigfoot, because I have more hair on my butthole than Eugene Levy has in his eyebrows.

Now, I knew this from getting all my nibbly bits waxed when the band went to the Island of Eden and I got everything stripped right off by Simone, the esthetician at Eden’s spa. But I hadn’t done it myself, see? Simone was discreet and, um, tactful. I now wondered what she thought when I spread my ass cheeks for her and a giant Brillo pad greeted her. Read more →

5200 words from Declan you’ve probably never read

Hi everyone!

Last year, I was invited to create a very special iBooks-only edition of Shopping for a Billionaire 1, with exclusive content. So many readers have, over the years, asked for DECLAN’S point of view regarding how he and Shannon met.

So I wrote it.

You may have missed it when it was on iBooks, but now you can read it!

Without further ado, to tide you over before Shopping for a Billionaire’s Baby comes out, here you go: Read more →

“You’re drinking decaf?”

I pause, the cup almost to my lips. “Stop it with your coffee bigotry!”

“Coffee bigotry?”

“You’re engaging in caffism. I reject it.” Read more →

A Shameless Little CON is now live!

By on February 1, 2018   /   Release Day   /   Leave a comment

RELEASE WEEK! As you may (or may not) know, I write romantic suspense as Meli Raine. The books are *really really different* from my Julia Kent romantic comedies, which is why I use a different name.

A Shameless Little CON is a political thriller, romantic suspense that involves a wrongly-accused young woman, Jane, who is caught in a web of political intrigue, power, and… murder.

If you read my Harmless series (A Harmless Little Game, A Harmless Little Ruse, a Harmless Little Plan), the Shameless series stars Jane (Lindsay’s best friend) and Silas (Drew’s right-hand man). You do NOT have to have read the Harmless series to understand the Shameless series.

It’s a redemption story. It’s an enemies-to-lovers story.

And it’s twisty, gritty, and intense as hell. I love putting my brain into twisty romantic suspense mode. It’s a really neat change from my rom coms.

So… I’m excited to bring you Jane and Silas’ story. The Shameless books are long, involved, and.. well, I’ll let the stories tell you. One-click it!
