Blurb:

The steamy standalone sequel to
Dangerously Mine.

Kane Epps divides his life into two disctinct

parts--before the alien invasion and after. Before the

invasion, he had a pregnant wife and a high-powered job. After

the invasion, he's left with only himself and his hatred for all

things alien. He channels his bitterness by captaining a vessel

of renegade humans--space pirates who don't think twice about

taking what they need.

Princess Sa'Mya is on the run. She and a few trusted advisors fled

her home planet, only to be captured by the sexy, dangerous

Captain Epps. He claims to hate aliens but can't seem to resist

touching or kissing her...everywhere. As Kane introduces

Sa"Mya to ever-increasing, unimaginable realms of pleasure,

the princess becomes determined to earn his trust. She's used

to getting what she wants. And this time, what she wants is Kane

Epps.

Inside Scoop: This space-opera romance contains male/male

sex scenes, girl-on-girl action, group sex and some good old-

fashioned voyeurism.

Bio:

A. M. Griffin is a wife who rarely cooks, mother of three, dog

owner (and sometimes dog owned), a daughter, sister, aunt and

friend. She's a hard worker whose two favorite outlets are

reading and writing. She enjoys reading everything from mystery

novels to historical romances and of course fantasy romance. She

is a believer in the unbelievable, open to all possibilities from

mermaids in our oceans and seas, angels in the skies and intelligent

life forms in distant galaxies.

Interview with A. M:

Are you a plotter or a pantser, or a hybrid?

I consider myself to be a typical pantser. But sometimes my

characters get a mind of their own and if left to do what they

please, I'd probably end of writing about aliens, vampires, ghosts,

and monkeys all in the same story. For Dangerously Yours, Kane

would not take to  Sa'Mya no matter what angle I served her up

as. About half-way through, I had to re-write their first meet and

create a spark for him and then I had to plot out the middle and

end. It turned out pretty good! I think this would throw me

squarely in the hybrid category.

In your opinion, what makes a great hero?

A great hero is someone who is secure, but has personal hang-

ups. Strong, but yet subtle. Has a fuck you attitude, but very

caring and dependable. Hot as hell, but has flaws. Can anyone say

contradictory? Hell yes! But that's what makes the hero for me.

Kane Epps is secure in his beliefs and himself, but when Sa'Mya

comes along he's forced to re-evaluate how he feels about aliens

and how he feels about himself. He hates all things alien, but in

reality he's really afraid of loving again and going through the

pain of having his heart ripped out a second time.

Do you prefer strong women for heroines, or the 'damsel in

distress' type?

So far, my heroines have been both. I lean toward really strong

kick-ass heroines. Eva, from Dangerously Mine would kick your

ass first and ask questions later. Sa'Mya, from Dangerously Yours,

would be too worried to break her nails, although she does have a

small fight scene, she's not the fighting type. Both ladies are

damsels in distress, but neither plays that role very well. Eva is a

slave, but she would hurt you if you called her such and Sa'Mya is

running from her uncle, but she thinks she has it all under control.

Neither whine nor have a "woe is me" attitude. If they did I think

I'd beat them up myself!

What book are you currently reading?

While I was on vacation I finished Beauty Awakened by Gena

Showalter and The Chronicles of Nick by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I'm

also finishing up The Lady is a Vamp by Lynsay Sands.

What is one place in the world you'd love to visit which you haven't

already been?

I LOVE to travel. But when it's time for a vacation I usually find

myself somewhere with a beach. I would love to tour Europe one

day. I wouldn't consider it a vacation since I wouldn't be lying out

in a bathing suit listening to waves lap at the shore. I'd also love to

visit the great castles in Scotland and go on an African safari. Now that I think about it, I would love to visit Rome as well. Geeze, I need to start planning a trip to all these wonderful places!

Who are some of your favorite authors?

Oh geeze. I have a very long list. I love everyone from Dean Koontz to Joey W. Hill to Nalini Singh to Kelsey Cole to Sherrilyn

Kenyon. But who started me on the path of romance was Johanna

Lindsey and Jaid Black got me hooked on sci-fi erotic romance.

Quick Questions:

Coffee or tea?

Coffee on most days. Tea if it's the only thing available.

Wine or beer?

Wine. I absolutely, positively, without a doubt hate beer.

Beach or mountains?

Beach! Bathing suits and cover-ups are my favorites.

CBP--Cara Carnes Blog Tour

Hello and welcome to For Whom The Books Toll! Today is
my stop on Cara's blog tour. I'll be posting an excerpt from
Cara's book, Passion's Claim book 2 of the Pleasure Brigade
Series.  The tour runs April 8 through April 29 and there will
be one grand prize winner drawn from all rafflecopter entries for
a $50 gift card for Amazon, Barnes & Noble or ARe, winner's
choice. There will also be copies of Passion's Claim up for
grabs. Good luck everyone.

Autumn Scott succumbs to temptation and journeys to The
Brigade, a private BDSM resort, for another naughty weekend
with sexy neighbor Kade Berges. She expects a chance to further
explore her fantasies, but finds herself wanting more when Kade
and his three friends push her boundaries and welcome her into 
their world. 

Kade Berges hadn't intended to share more than a 
few nights of passion with his insatiable New York neighbor,
but thanks to meddling friends, he finds himself unwilling to
accept anything less than Autumn's full submission. Whether
she's ready remains to be seen.


Autumn might've been Kade's to claim from the beginning but
she made a hell of an impression on us all the moment we met 
her. I knew she was special from the get go. She'd done the
impossible and gotten all my buddies remembering her after they
returned from New York. I wasn't necessarily on board with the
plan Chase, Lance and Lorenzo concocted to get her here to Texas
and in The Brigade but the moment she pulled up at the security
gate I knew she was where she was meant to be.
~~Master Stryker, Chief of Security for The Brigade

Excerpt:
     "Name?"
     Autumn bit back the apprehensive questions leaping into her mind. Was she at the right place? She peered forward. Lush, manicured grass and large oaks lined a driveway long enough to be declared a highway in most states.
     The guard leaned down. His blue eyes glimmered with amusement. "All I need is a first name, sweetheart."
     "Autumn." Heat rose in her cheeks as she realized she'd been
sitting there gawking at the surroundings rather than paying attention. "I think my..." What the hell was Kade? A friend? Definitely not in the boyfriend category. Yet. "I'm meeting someone
here."
     "The pretty ones always are." He reached down on his belt and
retrieved a metallic bracelet, which he placed in a handheld computer device. "Your first time here?"
     She nodded. "Where am I?"
     He chuckled. "If you don't know, I'm looking forward to watching your reaction." He held out his hand. "Your wrist, ma'am."
     Autumn obliged. Warm fingers ran across her skin. "No need to
be frightened. No one here bites newbies." He winked and lowered his voice to a sensual whisper. A soft click secured the device to 
her wrist. "You'll wear this for the duration of your time here. It
has a tracker, as well as a microchip for us to keep track of your...
needs."
     A shiver ran down her spine and resonated between her clutched thighs. "Thank you."
     "My pleasure, sweetheart." His finger ran across her cheek.
"Where did Kade find a beautiful morsel like you?"
     "How did you know it was him I was meeting?"
     He tapped the computer device as he placed it back on his belt. A prominent bulge drew her attention. She swallowed.
     She looked away when he chuckled. His fingers ran to her chin
and maneuvered her face until his gaze captured hers. "Eyes are the
windows to the soul, sweetheart. Don't deny me what small glimpse I may have."

     She nodded. A wicked grin softened the harsh contours of his

jawline. "You going to answer my question, sweetheart?"

     There'd been a question. Oh yeah, where they'd met. "New

York City. He's my neighbor."

     "I was afraid you were going to say that. I was supposed to go

on that trip with Lance." His fingers ran down her cheek. "Such

a shame I missed...meeting you."

     Oh. My. God. He exuded a dark, dangerous aura. He crouched

to eye level, but the movement was controlled, like a caged panther, sleek, hungry, and on the prowl for a new morsel to nibble. Moisture pooled between her legs as she imagined Lance with him

pinning her down and spreading her legs wide to accommodate them. Or him and Kade. Her nipples hardened and she shifted in

her seat.

     "Such a shame indeed." He kissed the back of her hand before

standing. "I'm Stryker. This red button pages me. Don't ever be

afraid to use it. I'll be happy to see to any of your wishes." He

winked and motioned the driver to proceed. "Welcome to The

Brigade."
