The 411: Shapeshifters from across the country are convening in the Windy City, and as a gesture of peace, Master Vampire Ethan Sullivan has offered their leader a very special bodyguard: Merit, Chicago's newest vampire. Merit is supposed to protect the Alpha, Gabriel Keene-and to spy for the vamps while she's at it. Oh, and luckily Ethan's offering some steamy, one-on-one combat training sessions to help her prepare for the mission.
Unfortunately, someone is gunning for Gabriel, and Merit soon finds herself in the line of fire. She'll need all the help she can get to track down the would-be assassin, but everywhere she turns, there are rising tensions between supernaturals-not least between her and a certain green-eyed, centuries-old master vampire.
Today is the official start of The Bodyguard TweetLove Contest. What is the B-I-G prize we've been hinting at, you ask? It's a first chapter manuscript critique by the president/founder of The Knight Agency, Deidre Knight. Yes, the one and only. And if you're a reader-type rather than a writer-type, you can opt for 25+ books to add to your TBR pile from our fabled book closet. It's a win-win situation.
So, how do you get your name in the hat? From Monday, July 12th through Thursday, July 15th at 3pm ET, answer the following question via Twitter, "Why do you LOVE paranormal romance?" Make sure to use the hashtag #bodyguardcontest so that we can track your entry. The most interesting and clever answer will win the Grand Prize. The lovely Gena Showalter is also sponsoring a Daily Prize giveaway -- an autographed copy of THE BODYGUARD (an anthology penned by Gena, Cherry Adair and Lorie O'Clare). The winner of the Grand Prize will be announed at the online chat party for THE BODYGUARD this Thursday, July 15th @ 9pm ET.

My story in THE BODYGUARD is called "Temptation in Shadows."
I am so so proud of this story. It's one of those that filled my head and just had to be told. Here's a little about it:
Tall, lean and muscular -- and definitely rough around the edges -- Sean Walker is not your typical nightclub bodyguard. He's a controller of shadows, able to wield darkness at will. But when a mysterious woman at the club turns out to have powers greater than his own, he has no choice but seduction...
Now for the contest! Help me spread the word about THE BODYGUARD -- could be an honest review, a nod on Twitter, your blog, whatever! Come back here (here is Gena's blog, NOT the Knight Agency blog. Update: Leaving a comment on this blog will not enter you in the contest. You must visit Gena's blog.) and give me a link or tell me what you did, and you'll be entered to win a signed ARC of UNRAVELED. (Or, if there's a backlist book you'd prefer, I'll send you that instead. Your choice!)

The 411: Jenna Miller's job as a florist in the small town of Thornton has kept her too busy for any intimate relationships, and a wild night of sex is way overdue. So when her friend, Eileen, asks her to be a tester of a new soon-to-be-released online matchmaking service involving anonymous sexual fantasies, Jenna is more than happy to oblige.
Troy has been working hard at the top of his corporate game and could use a little R & R. When he meets Jenna at Eileen's Orchid Soul kick-off party, he finds he cannot forget her. So imagine his surprise when he walks into a flower shop and finds out that Jenna is the owner of the shop. When Troy seizes on her ''Help Wanted'' sign to anonymously work in her shop, things get very heated. And when the Orchid Soul site leaks their sexual fantasies to each other, things go from heated to blazing hot...
