Tessa Bailey Blitz: Asking for Trouble & Protecting What's His

The Queen of Dirty Talking is back! Whether this is your first experience with Tessa Bailey’s dirty talking heroes or you’ve been following her all along, you don’t want to miss out on meeting Brent and Hayden. Their banter is witty, filled with sexual tension, and the sex itself is “fan-your-face” hot, according to an early review from USA Today Happily Ever After.

Here’s a dirty talking snippet just for you guys:

He leaned forward and spoke right against her ear. “Come for me right now and I’ll let you ride me as hard as you want later. I know what gets you off. I saw it in your eyes last night. You want to throw me down and fuck me, duchess? Good. I’m in the mood to let you.”

Now you see why she’s been dubbed the Queen of Dirty Talking!

About Asking for Trouble

Brent Mason and Hayden Winstead can't stand each other. She plans exclusive parties for her rich family’s charities. He’s a rough and tumble cop who rigs explosives for a living. Could two people be any less suited for conversation? They think not and prefer to keep it that way.

Unfortunately, their two best friends are deeply, disgustingly in love. Forced together, the mutual attraction simmering beneath the surface of Brent and Hayden’s non-relationship grows with every argument until it explodes into a scintillating night of mind-blowing sex. And it won’t be the last, as far as Brent’s concerned.

Hayden has a secret, though. Her father’s company is relying on a merger to save them from financial ruin, and only Hayden’s marriage to the CEO’s wealthy son can secure the deal. If she’s to protect her family, she’ll have to forget Brent. And he has no intention of being forgotten.

About Protecting What’s His

She’s running from the law, and the law wants her bad.

The opportunity was just too damn delicious for Ginger Peet to pass up. The purse full of money she finds—$50,000 to be exact—could give her and her teen sister the new start they need. So she grabs the cash, her gothy sibling, and their life-sized statue of Dolly Parton, and blows outta Nashville in a cloud of dust. Chicago, here we come...

Turns out, Chicago has some pretty hot cops. Hot, intense, naughty-lookin’ cops like Derek Tyler, who looks like he could eat a girl up and leave her begging for more. And more. Tempting as he is, getting involved with the sexy homicide lieutenant next door poses a teensy problem for a gal who’s on the lam. But one thing is certain—Derek’s onto her, and he wants more than just a taste.

And as far as he’s concerned, possession is nine-tenths of the law.

ISBN: 9781622662029


About the Book:
An unforgivable disappearance… Four years ago, Jennie Brooks and Sheriff Brae Colton were engaged to be married—then Jennie disappeared without a word.  

Leads to a mysterious reunion… Brae hated Jennie for deserting him just as they were set to begin their life together. But when he finds her badly injured in a hit and run accident on a snowy mountain road, he can’t deny the love he’s never forgotten—until she regains consciousness with no memory of her identity, or what they once shared.  

Where love holds the key to everything… Brae wants to know why Jennie’s come home. Despite everything, she’s still the woman he fell in love with in high school—the woman he’s falling for again. But when the bullets start flying, his first priority is to protect her and catch her would-be killer. And if they can’t find a way to restore her memory soon, they may both end up dead.

About the Author:
Born in the Scottish lowlands, Margery now lives on a lake in Canada A late bloomer, she didn't start writing until she found herself with an empty nest, some free time, and an old standard typewriter her father found somewhere she'd rather not think about. She still has the empty nest, but the typewriter has been replaced by a computer and free time is a thing of the past. Margery writes all across the genre board as the muse and the mood hit her, but these days she tends to stick to either historical romance or romantic suspense. When she's not writing or traveling in search of the perfect setting for her next novel, you can usually find her wielding a pair of knitting needles or a pool cue. Margery loves to hear from her readers. You can reach her at margeryscott@gmail.com and follow her on Facebook and Twitter.

Excerpt:

Jennie gazed out the passenger window as Brae steered the SUV through downtown Eagle Ridge. Ever since they'd left the hospital, he'd been tense, his eyes constantly shifting and taking in the vehicles around them.
            "Do you think we're being followed?" she asked finally.
            "Probably not, but I don't want any surprises."
            She stayed silent then, letting him concentrate. A lock of hair hung over his forehead, and she had an almost irresistible urge to brush it back. The muscles in his face were tense, his lips pressed into a thin line. 
            Those lips… Her thoughts strayed back to the kiss they'd shared in her hospital room.
            Obviously they'd kissed before, and more than likely they'd done a lot more than kiss. She didn't remember those kisses, though. His kiss from a half hour earlier, she'd never forget. Something about the way he held her, the way his mouth slanted over hers, the heat pooling in her belly when his tongue had touched hers…it felt so familiar, so right.
            "You look like you're thinking hard," he said, his baritone voice filling the interior of the car.
            She felt her cheeks heat. If he only knew where her thoughts had taken her.
            "Remembering something?"
            Oh, yes. She remembered every detail of the kiss they'd just shared. Although she would like to know whether the memories of his kisses back then were as exciting and breath-stealing as the reality of the one they'd just shared. She doubted that was what he was asking, though.

Book Summary from Goodreads:
Love is patient. 



It can happen when you least expect it,

where you least expect it,

with whom you least expect it.

Love is kind.

But love may not grow out of kindness. 
It can happen with the person who hates you most
because love knows no bounds. 

And it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love doesn’t hold a grudge.
Love forgives.
Love forgets.

But when the healing of your heart 
breaks the hearts of the ones you love …
it may seem impossible to

Find joy.

Well, I’ve always enjoyed writing. When I was about twenty-two, I wrote a short novella but didn’t do anything with it. I got pregnant the next year and writing no longer was a thought in my head. Around 2008, I realized I had plenty of time on my hands. I loved to read and just thought…hey, I should seriously try to write something. So I did.

What's the first sentence of A Gift to Remember?
Lips pressed together, Carol stared at the computer monitor on her desk and cursed the person within the company who had manipulated her template.

Tell us what A Gift to Remember is all about.
Carol works for a wonderful man named Thomas. He's married to Lynn. She's good friends with both Thomas and Lynn. Thomas is turning 40 and Lynn has the perfect gift idea for him.

Dish, who’s your favorite character?
Thomas

What would you say is Thomas’s most prized possession? 
His wife.

What book would Thomas have on his nightstand?
He doesn't have time to read. His business keeps him occupied and at night, he has Carol and Lynn to keep him busy.

For all of us impatient readers, what is up next for you?
The sequel, Another Gift to Remember, comes out in 2014 with Breathless Press. I'm taking a small break before I start something new.

What one book that turned you on to reading?
When I was 15, Interview with the Vampire turned me on to reading.

What book(s) are you reading right now?

Laurell Hamilton’s The Laughing Corpse.

Describe yourself in 140 characters or less.
I'm a single woman who enjoys traveling, sunny days, shopping with my daughter, laughter, and red wine. I dislike taxes, slow drives, cold weather, and cranky people. I'm open-minded and have a very active imagination.
(I didn't actually count the characters. Please, don't boot me off your blog.)

LOL, no booting off here, :)
