Since today was Readers Corner, I didn’t think you’d mind an update on the author in question. 

Earlier today  I received an email from Decadent Publishing offering me a contract on my contemporary romance Almost Perfect for their 1Night Stand series.   The series’ premise is that 1Night Stand is an exclusive online dating service that matches people with the  perfect person for them for a one night encounter.  And Madame Eve, the owner of the service, can do wonders with her matchmaking abilities–from alien encounters, to time-travel, to shapeshifters–nothing is too far out, if it leads to a HEA!

In Almost Perfect, Pam Kimball wants a 1Night Stand fantasy adventure to jump-start her life, put a new man in her bed, and make her forget her ex-husband Roger.  Her Pirates of the Caribbean themed request seems like a dream come true for Pam, a die-hard movie fan, until she ends up abandoned on a deserted island…well, not quite deserted. 

If you’d like a little sample of  Almost Perfect, below is the excerpt I posted last week for Sweet Saturday Sample.  The excerpt is rated G, the book, however, tends a bit more towards an R rating!

“Happy birthday to me.” 

Pamela Kimball stowed a pair of cute Donna Karan shorts in her Louie Vuitton bag. 

“Happy birthday to me.”  She added a moss-green brushed cotton top.

“Happy birthday, dear Pamela.”  A midnight blue babydoll nightgown with peek-a-boo cups came next.  Thank God she had the figure to do it justice.   Pam laid the scrap of filmy lace on top of her clothes. 

“Happy birthday to me.”  She added a pair of white satin mules—the maribou ripped off and replaced with rhinestones—and zipped the bag shut.

Two years after her divorce she was finally getting on with her life.  Hence the nightgown.

She picked up the printed email from Madame Eve, a reservation printout from the Castillo Resort in Miami, and the Chariots For Hire confirmation.  She glanced at the latter and opened her cell phone.  “This is Pamela Kimball.  I reserved a limo to take me to Dulles for an 8:00 am flight.”  In three hours the magic would begin.

I hope that little snippet whetted your appetite for more of Almost Perfect.  Not sure when this will be released, but I’ll let you know as soon as I get my cover art, which should be the next part of the process.  In the meantime, below are several covers for already existing 1Night Stand romances (or soon to be released ones).  You might want to check them out as well! 

This is all for my update, but I should be posting again by the weekend for Sweet Saturday Sample and Six Sentence Sunday.  Hope you join me!
