Amazing Isobelle Cate
I am privileged to welcome a wonderful friend and co-author Isobelle Cate to my blog. I have had the privilege of meeting and working with her and I will admit she is very supportive, I would be lost without her. Isobelle described in three words, passionate, dedicated and unique.
About Isobelle:
Isobelle Cate is a woman who wears different masks. Mother-writer, wife-professional, scholar-novelist. Currently living in Manchester, she has been drawn to the little known, the secret stories, about the people and the nations: the English, the Irish, the Scots, the Welsh, and those who are now part of these nations whatever their origins. Her vision and passion are fuelled by her interest and background in history and paradoxically, shaped by growing up in a clan steeped in lore, loyalty, and legend.
Isobelle is intrigued by forces that simmer beneath the surface of these cultures, the hidden passions, unsaid desires, and yearnings unfulfilled.
Blurb for Rapture at Midnight:
When Roarke catches a glimpse of Deanna in Dac Valerian’s club, he searches for her in the streets of Manchester just to prove that he hasn’t lost his mind. He is unable to believe Deanna is alive when he’d buried her himself nearly five hundred years before. But when Deanna turns up on the street facing the Cynn Cruor’s headquarters, Roarke needs to know why she’s hid herself from him all these years.
Knowing her secret can only destroy whatever feelings Roarke has left for her, Deanna remains silent until circumstances force her to reveal everything.
Hearts are broken on both sides, but Roarke and Deanna have to work together if they are to find a way of ending Dac and the Scatha Cruor’s power once and for all.
Desire rises and passions are rekindled.
Will their pursuit of Dac lead to another chance at happiness?
Or will it forever tear them apart?

Guest Author Laurie White
I am honoured to be joined by a fellow Secret Cravings author Laurie White, introducing us to her latest release.
Thanks for hosting me,
Holly! It is always nice to guest on a fellow author's blog. I write romantic
suspense, which is also my favorite genre to read...I just love that
combination of danger and passion, and it's pretty fun coming up with a nasty,
evil villain in addition to a smoldering, seductive hero and a feisty, sexy
heroine! Rachel and Matt are both trying to put tragic pasts behind them, yet
are drawn to each other despite their misgivings. I do hope your blog readers
will check out WITHOUT A TRACE!
About Laurie:
Laurie White is the author of two romantic suspense novels from Sweet Cravings Publishing. Her latest novel, WITHOUT A TRACE, was released January 30, 2014 from Secret Cravings Publishing. Laurie is a member of Romance Writers of America and Georgia Romance Writers, Aside from writing, she enjoys reading, spending time with family, traveling and watching movies. She is a proud mama of four adorable cats and lives in the hills of Tennessee
EXCERPT:
Something wasn't
right.
Rachel Bennett felt
uneasy from the moment she'd set foot in her sister's apartment. A bead of
perspiration trickled between her shoulder blades.
She'd been unable to
reach her younger sister Paige for the past three days. She hadn't even shown
up at work. Rachel cut short a long-awaited Palm Springs vacation out of
concern for her. The three-hour drive back to Los Angeles this morning was a
blur.
“Paige?”
Something made her
almost whisper the word. She paused outside Paige's half-open bedroom door
before peering into the sun-splashed room. A hint of Paige's signature scent,
Ed Hardy, hung in the air. The bed, normally covered with a cheerful floral
comforter, sat unmade in the messy room. Unusual for her neatnik sister.
She would never just
take off like this. At least not willingly.
What's happened to my
sister?
Rachel noticed several
black smudges on the wall by the window. A nervous feeling gnawed at her.
Slowly, she stepped into the bedroom, toward the telephone. She needed to call
for help.
“Police! Stop right
there.”
The resonant male voice
was strong and authoritative. Rachel froze, confused, blood pounding in her
head. The hair on the back of her neck prickled. “I'm Rachel Bennett. My
sister, Paige Bennett, lives here. I have a key.”
“Okay. Turn
around.”
In slow, careful
movements, Rachel complied. Her pulse thrummed even harder as she came
face-to-face with the most overwhelming man she'd ever laid eyes on. His
features were rugged and darkly handsome, his hair black as sin. She let out a
breath she hadn’t realized she'd been holding.
A twinge of wariness
assailed Rachel as her gaze took in the man. All in all, he made a dangerously
sexy package despite his ordinary dark gray suit and tie. He looked like no cop
she'd ever seen, but his open-legged stance and the familiarity with which he
held his pistol—aimed at her—seemed to show years of experience on the force.
Or simply a lot of practice using a gun.
Certainly he won't
shoot, she told herself, heart crashing hard against her chest. “Can I see your
ID?”
The man's steely dark
eyes never left hers as he unclipped the gold badge from his belt and held it
out to her.
“Matt Romero, LAPD
Detective Support and Vice,” he said.
Rachel studied the
badge. In her work as a writer for Southland Life magazine, she'd seen enough
cop badges to know this was the real thing. What sort of trouble could Paige be
in?
“How did you…”
“The apartment manager
let us in. We had a search warrant.” He lowered his gun, then clipped his badge
back onto his belt.
“Search warrant? Has
something happened to Paige?” A cold knot formed in the pit of her stomach.
Although a part of her didn't want to know, her reporter's instinct demanded
answers.
Skepticism flickered
across Romero's face, but as he studied her he seemed to relax. He holstered
his weapon. “I saw a photo on the desk over there of you with your sister. You
resemble each other very much. Why don't we sit down?” He motioned toward the
living room.
Rachel trudged down the
hallway, struggling to prepare herself for whatever this man was about to tell
her. Horrifying possibilities whirled in her mind. Had Paige been arrested for
some reason? Worse yet, badly hurt or even—no, she couldn't allow herself to
think about that last one. A shudder rippled through her.
Then she felt one of the
detective's large hands on the center of her back. The guiding gesture,
although gentle, unnerved her. The heat from his palm burned through the thin
fabric of her blouse. She walked a bit faster.
In the living room,
Rachel sank into Paige's comfortable powder blue sofa. She took a deep breath
to calm herself, but her stomach knotted up when Romero settled into the chair
beside the sofa, right next to her.
“Why are you here,
Detective? Where is Paige?”
“That's what my partner
and I are trying to find out, Ms. Bennett.”
“What do you mean?” she
asked, managing to sound a lot less anxious—and a lot less aware of the man
across from her—than she really was.
He looked her dead in
the eye. “Your sister is missing, Ms. Bennett.”

Please welcome to my blog Isobelle Cate with her latest release by Beau Publishing
Lakam by Isobelle Cate
It is 1607. The Spanish have landed on the shores of the
Philippines to pacify the natives, convert them to Christianity, and mine the
islands for its gold. Headstrong and loyal, Lakam, a Babaylan, refuses to
submit to Spanish imperial authority and convert to Christianity. With her
village destroyed and her people killed, she seeks refuge in the Cave of
Rituals in the jungle vastness of the sacred mountains, but she is caught,
raped and tortured. On the eve of her execution, she regains her freedom with
the help of her jailer, Joaquin Santiago, who refuses to see her killed. Now a
remontada (outlaw), Lakam realizes the old ways will cease to exist unless she
finds a way for it to continue in the ruined ashes of the world she knows.

Desires Series is out NOW on Secret Cravings Publishing
Desires blurb
Desires—a place where fantasies
are made flesh and dreams become real. From BDSM to being a dog, Desires can
provide it with bells on, if that’s your kink.
Stacie Clifford’s only desire is to regain her
sexual confidence after her recent escape from an abusive marriage. She joins
Desires looking for re-education in the joys of her body. There is only one
condition; her contract states emotional attraction between tutor and student
is forbidden. Stacie is fine with that; her heart is so battered she has no
desire to give it to anyone else.
Then she meets her instructor,
Dan. Instantly attracted, at first Stacie thinks it will help to make her
sexually comfortable with him. But when she realises she is falling in love,
she can’t tear herself away, contract or no. Stacie knows that, no matter how
kind and caring Dan appears, he’s just doing his job. Can Stacie overcome her
own Desires and walk away?
Touching Angel’s Desires blurb
Angel’s life was one, big, long, dream come true. Young,
beautiful, sexy, and in charge of Desires—the best sex club in the country. An
entire staff of delicious men and delectable women was at her beck and call,
ready to indulge her every carnal whim.
When vulnerable abuse survivor Stacie Clifford tentatively
approached Desires for help getting her sexual confidence back, Angel had no
qualms about assigning her secret favourite Dan McVeigh as her tutor. Gentle
and sweet, Dan was just what Stacie needed.
Angel hadn’t realized just how powerful her suppressed feelings
for Dan were until she noticed Dan and Stacie were getting on a little too
well. Despite Dan’s insistence that all was strictly professional, maybe it was
time to persuade Stacie that Desires was not for her. Just how far would Angel
go to keep Dan to herself?
No one touched Angel’s Desires.
Desires Secrets Blurb
Two and a half years after her first
visit to Desires, Stacie Clifford’s life has done a 180. Settled and happy with
her beloved Dan, baby Ryan has completed their lives.
When Dan suggests revisiting Desires
for some sexy couple time away, Stacie is unaccountably cautious until she
finds that Angel will not be there. She didn’t know why, but she always had a
gut feeling that Angel was not to be trusted. With Angel out of the way, she
and Dan, together with their good friends Jason and Chrissie, proceed to
indulge in the many and varied delights of Desires. Stacie even decides to
explore some of her own secret fantasies.
But events soon take a dramatic turn,
threatening to shatter Stacie’s new, happy life. What secrets lurk inside the
walls of Desires?
