My first novel!

Roxanne's Pirate will be released this week from Ellora's Cave on October 20. Love that cover!
Here's the blurb:
Roxanne Cline promised her father she would seek revenge against his blackmailer, but seven years after her father’s death she still hasn’t kept her promise. Roxanne’s guilt has crippled her sex life until she stumbles on Carlos Delgado, who quickly proves he knows exactly how to set her free. This seductive businessman explores her erotic fantasies about a possessive pirate and turns them into stunning reality with Latin dancing, a bit of bondage and a passionate nature that is by turns tender and ferocious.

When Roxanne learns that John Murkley, her father’s blackmailer, ruined Carlos’ business partner and led to his fatal heroin overdose, she is guilt-stricken. She begs Carlos to help her bring Murkley to justice. But Carlos betrays Roxanne—Murkley’s right-hand man is killed and Carlos slips into place at Murkley’s side. Roxanne has to stop Murkley before he leaves more victims—even if she has to do it alone, even if she has to battle her sexy pirate.

I have to thank Mary, my wonderful editor at EC, for helping me polish this novel. Mary cracked the whip on my comma usage, my tendency to lengthy sentences and my unconscious repetition of words. And thank you Dar Albert for that beautiful cover! I was worried a bit about the cover because Carlos has a sexy black mustache (that's just the way he popped into my mind) and I know there aren't many (any?) romance heroes with mustaches but Dar found a very sexy guy.
