So I'm really, really excited about the new cover of Drawn: His Secret Toy, which is the first book of the series. I've seen the drafts and they're amazing. Once it's out, I'll definitely share the artist's name so you can all check his drawings. You'll fall in love with them, too, I promise. 

Anyway, it got me to thinking about Book 2...It will NOT have the same pairing though. It will be a companion novel of sorts, a single-title featuring a new couple. But Yuki and KC from Drawn will be there and have bit roles in it. In fact, when the new cover is out next month you will find the bonus chapter including not just Yuki and KC but a character from Book 2 as well.

The Blurb----
When I smile I think about how lucky I am, to have the three hottest guys in uni doting on me, wanting to spend all their time with me, fighting with each other for the right to take me home.

When I scowl I think about how unlucky I am, to have three crazy protective jerks as stepbrothers, scaring away every boy in town while all the girls hate me because all they see is me and never them.

When I cry I tell myself I will never do anything to jeopardize what we have. Dad and the three boys are everything to me. I am lost without them, and I'm so scared I will lose them one day because I don't deserve their love.

But oh when I moan, I tell myself it's just for work, that as a voice actress for a smutty anime it's my job to make the audience feel as hot and bothered as I am.

When I moan no one should know I can only feel this beautiful terrible need to touch and be touched by secretly fantasizing about him. The gorgeous superstar I'm going to be paired with. The one every girl wants to own, and the man I’m forbidden to have because he’s the stepbrother I’ve fallen in love with.

And so I just moan, the pain driving me crazy. One day, he’ll fall for another girl, and then I’ll have to close my eyes, pretending I love someone else just so my true feelings will never show.


Do you like it? I hope so. I'm not sure when this will be out - but I'm estimating it will be done by August at the latest. Not too far off, right? Next time, we'll have the excerpt out, maybe for our next newsletter or with the new cover of Drawn, too. We'll see!

As I am having trouble adding this as the inside flap for Drawn, let me share this excerpt here and my

“I can’t believe nobody’s realized how sexy you are,” he mutters.
    At first I think he’s joking, but when Yuki keeps on scowling I end up gasping for laughter.
    His scowl worsens. “You don’t understand, senpai.” He pinches my cheeks – hard enough to make me yelp. “I told you I don’t want to share my toy. If people ever start seeing us together too often, they’re going to look at you more and more. And if you keep on with your fantasies, then they may catch you looking like you’re having an orgasm---”
    “Yuki!” It’s impossible not to turn red with all the images running through my mind now.
    “Don’t you know that a girl having an orgasm is the biggest turn on for guys?”
    “Umm, no?”
    I didn’t think his scowl can get any uglier, but it does. “Well, now you know,” he says grimly. “So promise me you’ll do your best to stop fantasizing in school, senpai.” A brooding look settles on his face. “What is it with you and your fantasies anyway?”
I’m not ready to tell him about my weird childhood encounter with porn nor am I willing to let Yuki know about my dreams of becoming a mangaka. He’s half Japanese, after all. Even if I’m drawing manga for girls, he’s still part of the target market. If he laughs at my drawing, it would annihilate me.
    “I promise I’ll do my best not to let my fantasies get the better of me,” I say instead, hoping it’s enough to distract him.
    It is. Yuki’s answering smile is breathtaking. “Good. And you don’t have to fantasize about other guys either. At least not when I’m around and I’m able to do this---” He bites my ear, hard enough that I almost gasp.
“---and this,” he murmurs as he kisses the side of my neck.
Weird, hot, wet sensations threaten to swamp my body, and I quickly move away, almost gluing myself to the window on my side so that he doesn’t get to kiss any other part of me.
“I’ll stop, I promise!” I say fervently.
Yuki laughs, but he moves back to his side of the seat.
