To celebrate Labor Day weekend and the end of summer (here in the States), I’m featuring a couple of new releases from fellow erotic romance authors.
First up is C.P. Foster, with the sizzling second book in her Arcaneology series. I’m picky about vampire erotica stories, simply because there are so many of them in our post-Rice and post-Harris world. This one has a nice edge to it, and springs from an author who knows sex and sensuality. Stop giggling. I mean this in a hot-but-erudite and very scholarly way that doesn’t derail gorgeous characterizations and strong plots. Check out her blog, Aphrodite’s Writer. 
Secret Studies (Arcaneology Book 2)

Blurb:
If she could only stop running, she could start living…
With a million-dollar bounty on her head, Angie Clark has been hiding under the noses of her enemies for nearly a decade. But trying to prevent a war between humans and vampires has landed her in trouble—again. A vampire monarch bent on revenge has taken out a new contract on her, and Angie knows that if she’s caught, her enemies will torture her until she begs for death. Mired in violence and death, keeping her secrets becomes more important than ever. And as her life unravels bit by bit, she fears she’ll have to leave behind everyone and everything that matters to her and run.
But when Steffen Scott puts his life on the line in order to protect her, she can no longer deny her feelings for him. As the threat of war looms over humanity once again, it could mean the annihilation of both species, and Angie must decide whether to keep running or to turn and fight. And maybe find out what she and Steffen could become.
Adult excerpt:
She went to him, and let him draw her onto his lap. He angled her so her legs dangled to one side while her back rested against his broad chest. His skin felt cool, but not as cold as before.
“Did you intend to tease me by leaving that lovely throat bare?” he murmured into her ear.
“Don’t you like it?”
His growl vibrated over her. “I’ve thought of little else since the moment I arrived. May I taste you now?”
“Yes,” she whispered.
With a gentle touch, he took the single curl that tickled the side of her neck and tucked it behind her ear. Grace closed her eyes as he settled his mouth over her vein. His fangs extended, thin as those of a snake, and pricked the soft skin. She held her breath.
He curved one arm around her waist an instant before he struck. Pain flickered for only a second, then a lush wave of pleasure overtook her, and she moaned aloud. His arm tightened while his other hand stroked up to cover her breast. He squeezed. Found the stiffening nipple and pinched. Grace arched with desire as he caressed his way to her thighs and edged them apart. The suction of his drinking, the quiet sounds he made, the way his body grew warmer with each passing second, all of the sensations engulfed her.
He eased her skirt up and nudged her panties aside so he could graze his fingertips over her moist lower lips. She tensed from head to toe as he traced a slick path to her bud and began to stroke. Her racing heart pumped blood into his mouth. Pleasure built, and when she came, he sucked harder to drink in her ecstasy.
