I’m running a poll over on my Delilah Devlin website, and I need your input! Here’s what I wrote there: I know… Silver Soldiers released less than a month ago (and I hope you’ve all read it!), but it’s time for me to think about the next one because these things take time to pull together. Last week, I asked for you all to offer up ideas for the theme for the next volume of sexy Boys Behaving Badly short…
UPDATE: The winner is…Debra Shutters! *~*~* Take Me to the Water by Michal Scott An unexpected dare holds the key to a second chance with the disgraced Buffalo soldier she’s never stopped loving. In the Christian community baptism is symbolic of joining the community. The night my hero Ambrose Stewart left for the Indian wars in the West, he and his lover Hephzibah made love to the baptismal hymn “Take Me To the Water.” Baptism also is a symbol of being cleansed…
UPDATE: The winners are bn100 & flchen! *~*~* Handfasted to the Highlander Warrior by Aurora Russell A hardened warrior reluctantly prepares to release his vivacious bride from their handfasted union…until a sweet, sexy surprise changes everything. As soon as I saw the theme for Delilah Devlin’s Silver Soldiers: A Bad Boys Behaving Badly Anthology, I was totally inspired. I loved the idea of experienced soldiers and warriors finding love, either still on active duty or having left their military service. I…
UPDATE: The winner is…flchen! *~*~* Storm on the Bayou by Elle James A retired Navy SEAL and a pretty parish deputy hole up in a bayou fishing shack, weathering a violent meteorological and unexpectedly passionate storm. I love the Louisiana Bayous, the mysticism, the Cajuns and Voodoo! My Brotherhood Protectors needed another location to expand into, and I thought…BAYOU Brotherhood! You can hide a lot of bad guys and bodies in a bayou. “Storm on the Bayou” is a prelude to what’s…
UPDATE: The winner is…flchen! *~*~* Star Diplomacy by Kimberly Dean With the threat of an interplanetary war looming, a hardened military negotiator must find a way to connect with the enemy’s beautiful ambassador. When I saw Delilah’s call for proposals, I’d just finished a sci-fi space opera romance titled FALLING STARS. It was a new genre for me and so much fun to write. I conceptualized a whole galaxy with alien (yet very human-like) races. One of the planets was Terrene. It…
UPDATE: The winner is…Latifa Morrisette! *~*~* SEAL in Distress by Denise DeMarco While dealing with an unwanted inheritance, a former SEAL confronts his toughest battle yet against an unexpected woman. I’m one of those people who is plagued with curiosity. It seems like I wonder about everything. Is that a curse you share with me? You know, getting pulled into the rabbit hole that the Internet can become when you look something up… and then ending up spending hours going…
UPDATE: The winner is…Argrenia Collins! *~*~* Sarge in Charge by Reina Torres When lowlifes threaten the curvy bar owner in his Arizona town, the president of the Broken Arrow MC proves he’s the sarge in charge. I love small bars. Out of the way. Tucked away. On the outskirts of town. The types of places where the staff know you. Sometimes that means they know you well enough to leave you alone when that’s your mood. Sarge in Charge is based…
UPDATE: The winner is…Ann Ivey! *~*~* Fight Like Cats and Wolves by A.J. Harris After their helicopter is forced down by a rogue war machine, an Army veteran must use wits and fangs to survive with his mysterious pilot. Wolves and helicopters are a natural mix. Like peanut butter and chocolate. Don’t believe me? Say the word Airwolf to folks of a certain generation. Watch as they get chills as the theme song starts up in their heads. The show gave me…
UPDATE: The winner is…Vilma Akins! *~*~* Operation Purple Sparkle Diamond by Brenda Margriet A resolute Afghan veteran deploys on his most desperate mission yet—wooing the hesitant heart of his daughter’s kindergarten teacher. When I saw Delilah’s call for sexy silver soldiers, an image immediately popped into my mind—a grim, gruff, man, hardened by battle, sitting perfectly still as a tiny little girl painted his face with makeup. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a stock image of that scene to share with you, but…
UPDATE: The winner is…Diane Garland! *~*~* This Time Forever by N.J. Walters A retired Delta Force operator thwarts a holdup, saving the life of the woman he left behind twenty-seven years ago. When I started thinking about writing this story, the first image I had was of a man leaning over a sink in a motel bathroom staring at his reflection and wondering how he got here. After twenty-seven years of service to his country, he had some silver in his…
