I’m on sale! Beauty and the Beasts appeared on the Loose Id website sometime last night and it is now available to buy!

Beauty and the Beasts
by
Ava Rose Johnson

They don’t just want her for the full moon…they want her forever

For centuries the Kingdom of Drayzlake has been divided between the humans and the wolves. But when a wolf crosses the Divide and bites the humans’ princess, all hell breaks loose. With wolven blood now running in her veins, Princess Abigail is forced to mate with a wolf every full moon. What she doesn’t realize is that she is mating with two wolves rather than one. Caine and Stavros are identical twins and soon-to-be Alphas of their pack. And they’re tired of taking turns.

So on one moonlit night after another vigorous mating session, Abigail finds herself kidnapped to the wolves’ quarters. Trapped in their fort she can’t deny the two beasts who desire her so, and locked between their powerful bodies she can hardly remember her own name. But it soon becomes clear that these sexual games are as dangerous as they are delicious. Because Caine and Stavros don’t just want her for the full moon…

Enjoy your Tuesday!

New Website Theme

Posted on September 23rd, 2008 by by Ava

To celebrate the few releases I have this month, I decided to treat myself to a new website. All I had to do was give a vague description of what I wanted to Celia Kyle and BAM! she gave me exactly what I wanted and more.

I love makeovers :)

Cover Squee!

Posted on September 19th, 2008 by by Ava

I just received the final draft of my cover for Beauty and the Beasts and all I can do is stare at it in wonder! I can’t even tell you how much this cover suits the story, the characters, the tone….*does little jig on her tip-toes*

The amazingly talented Cristine Clavel did it. I’m drooling right now :)

Saturday

Posted on September 13th, 2008 by by Ava

Well I had a lovely Saturday. I went into the city, did a little shopping, submitted a manuscript and met up with the wonderful RF Long for a mug of hot chocolate.

Now that I’m home, I’m finishing up on line edits and cover request forms while partying at FAR Chatters. Oooh, and I just had a seriously good pizza for dinner (margharita with extra garlic = heaven).

Hope you’re all enjoying the weekend as much as me!

In Control is Live!

Posted on September 7th, 2008 by by Ava

In Control has hit the front page of the Phaze website. Yay!

Here’s the blurb:

Annabelle Lawson has it all–fame, fortune and a successful acting career to boot. But three years on from her break-up with the love of her life, she is still missing him. So in the middle of the night, she jumps on a plane and flies to the fair city of Dublin, determined to win him back.

Hotelier Liam O’Brien can’t believe the woman who ripped his heart to shreds three years ago is staying in his hotel. What’s worse is that old fires still rage between them, dredging up past hurt that Liam would rather forget. Deciding to take control, Liam gives Annabelle what she wants–sex. But there will be no strings and no emotions.

However, as Annabelle’s body invades his senses, he finds himself falling backward in time. He knows he needs to hold onto control but a very persistent Annabelle won’t let that happen. A power struggle soon erupts and one question arises: Can either of them win in this game of control? Or will they allow the past to consume the present, leaving them alone on the streets of Dublin City?

Here’s a few reasons why I love this story so darn much:

1. It’s set in Dublin city.

2. The hero is yummylicious in a tall, dark and handsome Alpha kind of way.

3. The heroine is a no-nonsense, spunky lady who knows exactly what she wants.

4. There’s a fierce battle of wills that creates some pretty electric sexual tension.

5. Oh, and there’s sex. A whole lot of it. And it’s in public too!
