Can the luck and love of a chimney sweep, be enough to rescue a woman, trapped in an annex that holds many dark secrets?

Kaelyn is a former maid who used to clean the annex for the Ruthferd’s. Ever since a terrifying fire broke out in the annex, she has been trapped within the chimney, desperate to get out. She waits for a man to rescue her in more ways than one, and breathe new life into her somber soul.

Rand enjoys his job as a chimney sweep and especially likes to work for the Ruthferd’s, a rich and prominent family in central London. He is asked to clean the fireplace and chimney inside the newly remodeled annex, though what he finds inside is more than ash and soot. A smoldering woman emerges from inside the fiery tomb and fuels him with passion.

Through his gentle touch, and her seductive moves, they are swept away in the heat of the moment, and forge a bond that goes beyond a lifetime.

Come discover the hauntingly dark Secrets in the Annex

Isn't he delicious?! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


My February Newsletter will be out soon. Beginning with this month, I will be posting a sexy aphrodisiac recipe. Starting with my March newsletter, I plan to get my free read going again. It would seem that since the Google changeover, I can't get into my other blog - insert big, deep sigh, nor can I seem to have it recall what password I used for it. I also can't use a pretty template because I don't know how to install it thanks again to Google. Really, I was happier with it the way it was. LOL


Okay - don't forget about the blog contest. For more details be sure to scroll down to last week's post. And see!!!! I'm posting :) *tossing confetti*

From Desk to Dawn and Secrets in the Annex

Waving hello from behind a big time mess of paperwork and "due now" notices - sigh. My attempt to update my blog more didn't quite happen, so I've slapped my wrists and pledge, promise, vow, plan on to do better this month.

Let's see - what have I been up to? Mainly work, a little play, some walks outside while the sun has been out, but mostly work. The muse has gotten bit by the creative bug and become very bossy.

Anyone seen any good movies lately? I haven't seen much that interests me advertised out there, so if I'm missing something - please let me know! We typically rent movies, unless something looks REALLY REALLY good.

New Contest Announcement for February - you'll want in on this :)

What have you guys been up to? Doing anything exciting? I've been doing a little early spring cleaning - I get that way right after it starts to warm up, a need to slough away junk and have things neat and tidy. The feeling doesn't last very long though, lol. My desk has actually stayed clean for a week now, I believe that is a record.

Hmmm, so I can hear your thoughts, and you're wondering when I'm going to announce the winner from last week's blog. Go ahead, admit it :) Since you're twisting my arm, I'll do that now. I put your names in my M&M dish - that isn't for M&M's anymore - it's for yogurt covered raisins, which in my mind is healthier, though not really any less in calories. Hey - babysteps, ya know? LOL. Since my son is home from school today and tomorrow due to report cards coming out on Monday - I'll get him to pick a name.
Blog Winner for the 2nd half of January is: PRINCIPESSA!!! Please email me at anncory_erotica at yahoo.com with BLOG WIN in the subject line, which book you'd like(Drinyian or Blame the Rain), and be sure to send your snail mail addy so I can send you a book thong.

New February Blog Contest - as I've done in the past it will be broken up into 2 contests. The first starts today and runs until the 14th. The second starts the 15th and runs until the 28th. You know, it's bad enough the months just race by, but then you add a very short month into the equation and I really have no hope of ever catching up *shakes head*.
So here's the skinny on the contest. Post on my blog and you're automatically entered, it's that easy! What can you win? For February I'm giving away an ebook copy of A Pirate's Treasure Anthology or Best of Torrid Teasers Vol. 1, and a book thong. I happen to adore book thongs and can't have too many - I don't know about you. So post away! First winner will be announced on the 15th, the second winner will be announced March 1st

Have you seen my sexy Ellora's Cave cover for Next Floor Naughty? If not - here ya go. I'm a proud mama :)

Well, it's getting close to lunchtime here, so I better get some more work done. Be sure to sign up for my contest - who doesn't want an Ellora's Cave calendar? Look for my newsletter to be out later next week with a couple new things - and I'll be posting I SWEAR on Tuesday again!
