What's Happening?
I hope that everyone had a great holiday. I know that I can't wait to start 2012. I have a feeling that a lot of good things will be in store for all of us. :)
I had a mad rush of online events through November, so I'm using December to take a break and catch my breath - sort of. I'm still working behind the scenes (see below) but I'm not hosting very many online events this month. Instead I'm waiting until my new release, Velvet Steel, releases on January 17th. I apologize for not having a cover for the book, but I hope that this picture makes up for it. :)
Nice, right? This has nothing to do with the story Velvet Steel, except maybe that it is a man, and he has steel in his hands, but he's nice to look at, no? :) Special thanks to Em Petrova for providing me with the inspirational picture. :) (If you want your royalty free 'inspirational' picture featured in a future newsletter, email it to me at suzannerock [at] gmail [dot] com).

Here's the blurb:
Shane and Noah set out to seduce Kitty Velvet into selling them her family’s struggling steel company on their terms. They plan a weekend of deception and sexual adventure to convince her to give up the business she had spent her life keeping afloat. As they begin their passionate getaway, things don’t go as planned. Instead of putting their rival out of business, they gain deeper feelings for the feisty blond – and for each other. With their world upside down, Shane and Noah must now decide if business ambitions are worth losing a chance at something bigger than money, and more precious than owning a steel empire.
Kitty has worked hard to keep Velvet Steel afloat, but changing technologies and the growth of their rivals have made the company’s continued viability almost impossible. As she embarks on an erotic weekend to distress and regroup, she develops feelings for two strangers who turn out to be the very men who had made her life a living hell for the past year. Is saving her family business worth losing her only chance at love?
And, as promised, a special NEVER BEFORE SEEN EXCERPT from the book just to whet your appetite. :)
In this scene, Noah and Shane, the owners of S&N Steel, are in the back of a limo with their rival, Kitty Velvet...

Noah switched his focus back to Kitty and leaned toward her. “Thank you for saving us from club security. If you had any idea --”
“What would you like, Noah?” Shane turned from the bar and narrowed his eyes. “The usual?”
Noah lifted his chin and leaned back in his seat. “Scotch.”
“And for the lady?” Shane’s gaze softened as he turned to Kitty. Another bolt of jealousy stabbed Noah’s gut. This was insane. He was insane for going along with it.
“Martini,” Kitty said.
Shane raised his brows. “You’re a martini girl, huh?”
She nodded. “Straight up with a twist of lemon.”
“Of course.” He inclined his head and went back to the bar, this time going for a small compartment tucked in the lower right-hand side.
Noah saw the panic on Kitty’s face and frowned. What was she so nervous about?
“Well, well, what do we have here?” Shane turned and held up a long pink instrument for Noah to see.
Of all the… Noah’s lips twitched and he crossed his arms in front of his chest. “It appears to me that our little Kitty cat likes to play with toys.”
Kitty shifted away from the men to the far corner of the seat and lifted her chin. “Is that a problem?”
Noah tilted his head to the side and raised his brows. “A problem?” The pink vibrator was a revelation but not a problem. Kitty was more sexually curious than he'd thought. It opened up a whole new world of possibilities. If she had used sex toys, had she tried other kinks as well? How would she feel about watching two men pleasure each other?
“Lots of women use sex toys -- especially when men turn into such a disappointment,” Kitty said.
Shane leaned forward and waved the toy in the air. “Honey, you haven’t been satisfied because you’ve been fucking the wrong men.” The implication in his voice, combined with the glimmer in his eye, was unmistakable. Noah had seen it many times before. He loved that look. The tension in the air increased, and Noah began to feel hot all over. It didn’t matter what had brought them to Kitty tonight or their reasons for doing this. All that mattered was the fact that the three of them were alone in the back of this limo, and Noah had never felt such strong attraction toward two people in his life.
Noah imagined them all naked, limbs entwined. He didn’t know who he’d touch first, Shane or Kitty. He wanted to caress both their bodies, memorize every dip and curve. Fuck, he wanted to drown himself in their scents and skin and never come up for air.
“I suppose you two think you can do better?” Kitty looked at each of them in turn. “I should warn you, many have tried to satisfy me, but none have succeeded.”
The challenge only made Noah harder. Did she think he wouldn’t measure up? She couldn’t be more wrong. He slid closer. “Honey, I know we’ll succeed.”
“We always succeed.” Shane rubbed the round tip of the sex toy against her biceps, then down over her elbow and finally to her wrist.
Noah watched as Shane nudged the tip between her fingers until it touched her palm. He bit back a groan as he imagined it was his cock, not some sex toy, that she fondled.
“Oh yes, lass, we’ll succeed,” Noah added.
