A Free Read and New Novella!
Ellora's Cave is offering FREE READS and one of them will be from Marilu Mann! Changing Perspectives is Nolan Bourdet's story. For those who have read Changing Times, you know that Nolan needed a "happily ever after" or at least a "happily for now" and believe me, HE GETS IT!!
We'll also have a new novella being released THIS MONTH - it's called Sweet Buns and it's part of the fundraiser for the Punches Family. Sweet Buns is a short, sweet, super sexy story of a man who wants to follow his dreams and meets someone who might just be the woman of his dreams.
For a really hot peek, check this excerpt!
Here is Lorenzo who was the cover model for the Sapphire stories.

Escape
to...Seville, Spain
The beautiful city of Seville, the capital of Andalusia in the south of Spain is romantic, dramatic and exciting! Wander streets lined with cafes serving tapas and sherry wine during the day or go from bar to bar in the area of Santa Cruz in the evenings.
Don't forget the flamenco music! And Seville's most famous citizen - even though he's fictional - I'm speaking of Don Juan, of course!
The architecture is truly outstanding as well - there's a gothic Cathedral (third largest in Christendom), the Giralda tower, and the Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza. Even if you aren't interested in attending a bullfight, the museum is worth a visit.
So, when you're ready for a foray to southern Spain, make sure Seville is on your "list of places to see!"
