Samhain has decided to release the first three volumes of my Kithran Regenesis Series in one book! Kithra (novella), Replicant (novella), and Catalyst (category romance length) will be together in both digital and print for one great price. It releases May 3rd. All three of these are M/M/F erotic, menage romances.

All my books at Samhain are 40% off right now for Valentine’s Day! Rinda Elliott & Dani Worth

So many goodies! SHATTER’s release date, blurb, pre-order link and updated excerpt! http://drakeandelliott.com/2016/01/shatter-blurb-release-date-pre-order/

Make sure you keep up with the Drake and Elliott Tumblr! We post sexy inspirations for our characters, setting hints and even introduce you to new characters. But if anything, just go to see Ashton Frost, or Snow, smiling.

To celebrate the holidays, Jocelynn and I have released a new short story today on our website only. We’ve gotten a lot of love and excitement over the Unbreakable Bonds series. And while you wait for us to finish the second book – Shatter – we have been releasing short stories so you can keep up with Lucas and Andrei’s developing relationship. (Seriously, they are so damn adorable!)

Today’s new short story is called Te Iubesc, which is Romanian but we’re not translating it. We’ll leave that to Andrei. The story takes place several weeks after the events of Shiver. (So, spoiler warning!)

Did you know that Te Iubesc isn’t the only short story that we’ve released?

We’ve also released The Meeting and Perfect: A Halloween Short Story.

Snow is consuming my world!

Jocelynn and I are hard at work on SHATTER, the second book in our Unbreakable Bonds series, so I’ve been a little lax in posting here. (Trust me, Snow has a way of taking over everything else in your life.) I am, however, posting often on the site we share. To find out more about what we have going on, to read some free short fiction and more, go to Drake and Elliott. 

I know some people are confused about why I moved to M/M romance and it’s not really that surprising if you’ve been reading the books I publish under the pen name Dani Worth. I started out publishing menage fiction (M/M/F) before I ever published under this name. Dani Worth is part of my middle name and part of my husband’s. I truly love M/M romance and that shines through in my Dani books–especially when you get to the full length ORIGIN. So, though I will continue to write M/F romance and urban fantasy, I’ll be publishing more M/M fiction in the future because I love it.

If you enjoy a sexy space opera romp (With mouthy space pirates!) and like M/M/F romance, you can read Origin out of order. It’s the fourth in my Kithran Regenesis series. The first two, Kithra and Replicant, are novellas and yes, they should have been longer stories. I was new to sexy novellas and thought that length was popular. LOL. But the story grew and Catalyst and Origin are both longer books and though they do feature the original characters as secondary characters, I’ve been told Origin can stand alone.

This is my first foreign book cover! FORETOLD released in Italy this month and it’s new title is RAVEN. Cool, huh?

Book 1 of the Unbreakable Bonds Series

Lucas Vallois is always in control. He’s building an empire in the glittering city of Cincinnati and created his own family from his three close friends. The self-made millionaire has everything he wants within his tight grasp. But his world starts to crumble after he’s jumped by a trio of thugs late one night after leaving a club. The warning is clear—give up his new property venture or end up dead.

Caving to the demands of his friends, Lucas accepts the help of bodyguard, Andrei Hadeon, as he hunts for the source of this new threat. But as Lucas gets closer to uncovering the danger, he realizes the sexy Romanian bodyguard poses an even bigger risk to his carefully constructed world. Trapped by a need he never expected, Lucas must find a way to deny the shiver of longing he cannot control.

His brother. His warrior. His heart. Four friends. Unbreakable bonds.

Breaking her curse will cost him his heart…and possibly his life.

Blurb:

The Brothers Bernaux, Book 1

For the past five years, Elita Raisonne has been on the run from a curse that started with her grandmother, and gradually reached out evil tendrils to kill her mother and her aunts. Now, healing from another nasty accident, Elita can feel the curse coming for her like icy breath on the back of her neck.

Her only hope: trek deep into Louisiana’s Atchafayala Basin and ask the mysterious Bernaux brothers for help.

Pryor Bernaux takes one look at the black smudge clinging to Elita like a shroud, and recognizes the work of a powerful hex worker. Together, all three Bernaux brothers could easily break it—if Mercer and Wyatt weren’t away.

As the curse sinks deeper into Elita’s soul, Pryor realizes time is running out for the beautiful redhead who makes him want things he and his brothers swore they’d never have. He has no choice but to help her. But the magical backlash is torture. And without his brothers’ help, it could even be deadly.

Warning: Keep a cold beverage on hand, because the bayou isn’t all that’s hot and steamy in this book. Deadly hexes, naked spellworking, mouthwatering court-bouillon, and sexy Cajuns will curl your toes…and maybe your hair.

This is a sexy M/M romantic suspense novel and the first in our new Unbreakable Bonds series. We’re so excited and nervous and well, all the feelings are happening like crazy! It’s a new genre for Jocelynn and a new one for me “writing” as Rinda. I’ve been writing LGBT fiction as Dani Worth for a long time.

Our website is full of snippets, character write-ups, and a lot of fun posts for you to explore. Here’s a direct link to the blog. And it’s up for pre-order all over the place like Amazon. Only $4.99 for over 100k!

I’m not terribly sure readers are into book trailers these days, but I was doing a few promo shots with quotes and started messing with them. Before long, I was having fun making a video, then asked my brother’s band (Psymbience) for permission to use a snippet of their music.

The process then took on more time because getting the right one minute of music in a long song–after choosing which song–takes some time. But I had so much fun, I shared it with The Deadline Dames and they seemed to like it, too. So Jocelynn and I decided to use it. It’s short, to the point, and yeah, it lets you know that this is definitely M/M romantic suspense. That only means that it’s a sexy love story like any other, but with two male leads.
