Insatiable Desire




Happy September everyone! I hope you are all in the mood for something a little more dark and twisted, as this week's featured author, Rita Herron, brings us a new release dealing with psychics, serial killers, and dark desires. Clarissa King is a psychic who is terrified of all the bad that can happen to her hometown as images of murder appear to her while she works alongside a sexy FBI agent trying to track down a serial killer. A dangerous attraction is spawned between the two, and they both must try to control their overwhelming desire as Vincent Valtrez, the FBI agent, has a deep secret he must keep, and the two learn of the murderer being demonic and otherworldly. Will Vincent’s deep secret reveal a dark side in him that could cause harm and possibly death to the sexy Clarissa, whom he strongly desires? Check out more about this book here at the BYS website.

And , of course, a fantastic book trailer:

Rita also included some interesting tidbits just for you guys! Enjoy!

* I often get asked where I got my ideas. Well, the first line of my first chapter in Insatiable Desire, the hero thinks that the first time he beds a woman is the best. That's because he never takes a woman to bed twice.

How did I come up with that line? When my husband and I go to the beach, we're always tired and hot when we arrive and unload. Then we pop open that first beer and go down to look at the ocean. The last trip, that beer tasted so good and cold and I said, "Why is it that the first beer is always the best?"
Then I knew I had my first line -- not about beer but about sex. It totally fit my character, too.
Of course I shared that line with several writers to get their reaction. And it sparked a lot of discussion. Is the first time really the best? Maybe, because you're so excited and dying to be together. Or maybe it's too rushed and the next time is better because it's slow and tender. Or maybe it's better when he learns those g-spots so he pleases you more!


* I have an identical twin sister. People always ask which one of us was the good twin, which was the evil one?
I think we all have good and evil in us, which is part of the theme of The Demonborn. But being good is boring in a book - being evil is fun! So when I write dark, gritty romantic stories I get to be both good and bad! Now, that's fun.



So, keep the comments and any questions for Rita coming, because you could just be lucky enough to have your own signed copy of Insatiable Desire! Enjoy the suspense and intrigue, as you find your time to yourself, Between Your Sheets!
