Mortal Temptations Giveaway and Excerpts

I'm excited that it's 15 days from the official release date of Mortal Seductions. (Insert confetti throwing here. *g*)

The Mystic Realm is holding a contest until AUGUST 31 for a free, signed copy of Mortal Temptations (book 1 in the "Mortal" series).

Do you have to read Mortal Temptations first? Not necessarily. Demitri, the hero of Mortal Seductions makes an appearance in Mortal Temptations to help out the heroes in that book, and you learn he's a tiger shapeshifter. But you *really* get to know Demitri in Mortal Seductions--his past, his present, and you even meet his mom.

The heroine in Mortal Seductions is Val, a former vengeance demon who's trying to walk the straight and narrow. She needs help from Demitri, the man who betrayed her in the past.

She also needs a little help from a modern-day man who's just returned from duty in Afghanistan--Leon Dupree, a Cajun who turns up in Demitri's hotel on his way to help out his little brother. Leon finds Val and Demitri intriguing (ok, baffling), but Leon's got a few secrets of his own.

I have Chapter One up here: http://www.allysonjames.com/mortalseductionsexcerpt.html

AND if you join my Yahoo group, I have the roasting-hot Prologue here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/allysonjames/ (Click Files and then the Mortal Temptations folder) You do have to sign up for the group to read it, but you can always sign off again if you don't want my newsletter.

And just a warning--this is Er-otic romance. I'm not kidding. Do be careful!
