The first in the Demonica series, Pleasure Unbound was one of my favorite romances of last year. In it, Larissa Ione introduces us to a dark and lush world where humans and demons coexist for the most part without the humans being aware of the demons’ existence.

Shade is a Seminus demon, which means he’s a sex demon, who has been love cursed after an ill advised rendezvous with a warlock’s bride. The curse will kill any female who Shade develops true feelings of love for. Shade is made for sex; his power exists in knowing exactly what a female wants and granting those fantasies. He also is able to release women from pain or guilt they carry around. Shade also has some…

After a near death experience six months ago, Nicki Styx “came back” with the ability to see and talk to ghosts.  So far she’s dealt fairly well with helping these spirits find the Light and move on.  Her vintage clothing store, Handbags and Gladrags is thriving, thanks to her partner and best friend, Evan.  And she’s enjoying her relationship with the handsome Dr. Joe Bascombe, the ER doctor who quite literally brought her back to life.  Then it all goes to hell when the Devil—yes, that one—moves in next door.

Sammy Divine is the current owner of Divinyls, the indie music store across the street from Nicki’s shop.  Everyone else may think he’s just a very hot blonde, blue-eyed hunk, but Nicki knows all too well…

I’ve written a few books, actually more than a few. I’d tell you how many but I’m too lazy to look for the list I’m certain I have somewhere. Trust me when I tell you that I’ve written enough books to see a pattern, a pattern of choices I had no idea I was making.

There are no sick people in my books.

Oh, people may die (okay, I have a habit of killing off annoying characters), they may be in knife fights and fist fights and duels, they may get a bloody lip or a black eye, but they never get sick.

Stuffy nose? Sore throat? Fever? Nausea?

Never! This is my fantasy and no one is going to have to suffer the agony of the flu in my stories.

As I said, I…

What woman can ever forget the humiliation of being dumped by a guy?  Especially when you’re young and in the delicious flushes and throes of first love?

I’ve had two guys dump me in my life, and both gave me heart pangs of differing degrees. One I thought I was madly in love with – although I now realize that I was only suffering a really bad case of infatuation.  The other guy I was definitely not in love with, but it still stung my pride. So when, strangely, he decided he wanted me back, I had no compunction in saying good riddance!

Giving a man a second chance is the premise of my newest Regency historical, To Romance a Charming Rogue, Book 4 of my fun, sexy Courtship Wars series.
