ADDING HEAT is released today!

I'm so excited to say that Cris Anson has written Con's and my story and I'm blushing to remember how we got together. The cover gives you a little glimpse of how how we are *big grin*. ADDING HEAT is awesome!

Encouraged by friends she met at RomantiCon, widowed landscape contractor Giselle Sheridan decides she’s finally ready to take the cougar challenge and explore sex with a younger man. Except she’s too busy during planting season to go on the prowl.

CPA Conlan Trowbridge is battling the IRS deadline for his clients, but when Giselle saunters into his office with a tax question, all he can think of is sex. She’s all luscious curves and smoldering brown eyes, and he doesn’t care if she’s a dozen years older, she’s a wet dream come true.

Oh yeah, they’re both ready for some hot and heavy sex—in the tub, parking lots, their offices—anywhere and everywhere. But Giselle is afraid her age will eventually bother Con, and her longtime foreman also has designs on her, in more ways than one. When Giselle faces some hard decisions, will she ultimately be able to keep the heat?

HAT TRICK, how I landed two younger men as my lovers

My dear Cougar friends, I have so much to thank you for and I hardly know where to begin.

But let me tell you where I begin from!

Paris!

With my two lovers whom I might never had have had the courage to claim if it weren’t for you, I look out across the Seine to Sacre Coeur and smile in gratitude.

I do also wonder when we will have another new recruit?

Soon, I hope!

Then stayed tuned for 3 more Cougar Challenge stories coming soon, beginning with my HAT TRICK October 20.

One man or two, if he's younger I've got a wee problem, don't I?

This hot affair of mine with Trey and Gage is nothing like I have ever known, it is so thrilling.

But this afternoon, an acquaintance in town (whom I KNOW is just pea green with envy) saw me with both men and called me "a lucky old thing."

Suddenly, I'm not as concerned about the folks I've known for years, as I am the reaction of my only child, my son who soon comes home for the weekend.

Rissa, you have children. Tell me what you said to them. How you broke the news that you loved a younger man. I am in such a mess here, upset at myself, shocked and heart-broken, too, that I might just be a coward after all!

Autumn, you live near a small town. How do you deal with what others’ think of your relationship with a man who is younger than you are?

Lori, why do I have this feeling that I need to be just like everyone else?

Just only one good man, but two???

Be careful what you wish for, right? No sooner did I say I wanted to find a man and accept the Challenge and I've got TWO men walking in my door. Turns out they are friends of my best friend's fiance and here to stand up for him at the wedding.

But my problem now is not finding a younger man I could be attracted to, but choosing only ONE! Both men are absolutely to-die-for scrumptious and heaven knows if either one is even available, let alone open to a short romp with an older lady. Both of them are now upstairs sleeping. (I did tell you that I run a Bed and Breakfast here in town, didn’t I? I use it whenoften, especially with folks who are coming into town for the weddings I plan need a place to hang their hatsing in and out of town for the weddings I plan.)

But ALL suggestions for what to do are so welcome!

One Man of My Own? Please!

Dear Cougars, HELP! I've told you how I live in a small ranching town of two thousand--and trust me, I have looked for a man to warm my bed. Old or young, no man lives within shouting distance who thrills me! A young man in my bed sounds like a swell idea. Someone who has the stamina and the energy to give me one heart-pounding night of non-stop love.

But how can I take the Cougar Challenge if I can't find one?

I'm a widow. For five years running. And lonely.

I had a marvelous marriage and I miss my husband. But life goes on...and I feel it's going on without me.

I've read these books. I LOVE this COUGAR CHALLENGE. The women are gutsy, taking their lives into their own hands.

But a younger man?

Come on.

Really?

What can a younger man know what an experienced woman wants?

I like men. I love men. But damn, if I can find one in my one-horse town who appeals to me. Young. Old. Somewhere in between. Nada here in southwest Texas, honey.

And like the song goes, I'm not talking about forever, baby. That would be too demanding. I'm just talking about hooking up and hanging out. I'm just talking about tonight. And heart-pounding, inventive, scrumptious sex.

Are you a lady of a certain age with similar aspirations?

If so, tell me what I do, where I go to find a man with great moves and a love of women who adore sex. Hmm?

Crazy in Texas

All's well that ends well...

Hello, ladies! I have some great news. Sebastian won his fourth world championship! Yes, that’s right, we’re off to celebrate with a three-month trip to Asia. Bali, here we come. I’m not sure how great the internet connection will be at the beach but don’t worry, Bastian will be taking good care of me.

I think this will be a great chance for us to see how things would work out if I decide to accept his proposal. I miss him so much when we’re apart. I’m starting to forget why I thought it was a good idea in the first place.

So, anyone feel like visiting me in Europe next year? I think I’m going to need someone to hold my hand during the circuit events. Watching them live is scarier than on TV.

Besides… I know another hot young guy who could use a sexy Cougar.
Okay, Bastian’s giving me that look. Yeah, you know the one. Gotta run, I’ll write when I can!

Help!

OMG! Still stuck in the airport, no hope for making dinner. Hottest guy ever rescued me from splattering on the runway. Now sitting next to me since he’s heading to JFK too. You all are a bad influence! I can’t stop thinking about what he’d be like in bed. Blue, blue eyes. Body to die for. Sexy accent. Killer smile. God, he even smells good. I think I might have had a mini orgasm just looking at him. Too bad he’s probably not even thirty yet.

Book eight in the Cougar Challenge series. These books do not have to be read in order to be enjoyed.

Lynn Madison transformed from repressed corporate drone to bold seductress overnight when her online friends at Tempt the Cougar encouraged her to take charge of her destiny. Their advice haunts her as she drools over the hottest Italian Stallion on the planet while stranded in an airport.

Sebastian Fiori is a master of speed. A rally car driver, he’s used to winning on and off the track. He sees no need to brake around the sophisticate who revs his engine. After spotting Lynn’s decadent ménage novel, he prepares to take her for the ride of a lifetime—with his navigator, Mark.

Storm delays threatening Lynn’s brand new life would be far more upsetting if her young stud wasn’t offering a first-class ticket to indulge her fantasy on the way to fulfilling her dream. Neither of them expects their rendezvous to last beyond their transatlantic flight on his private jet. But sometimes there’s no escaping the forces of nature.

Guess what I got on eBay?

A broken down ranch and a hot, hot, hot cowboy. OMG, he is beyond mouthwatering. Of course, he's got to be at least ten years younger than me and when I showed up to take ownership of Sweetgrass Ranch. And no wonder. He's the only thing sweet about it. The pictures on eBay must have been taken twenty years ago, because I swear the swindler who owned didn't put a dime into it.
But Mitchell Brand makes it all worthwhile. He's over six feet, with broad shoulders and lean hips that I'd love to wrap my legs around. He was made for faded jeans, a black t-shirt and a cowboy hat. I can't wait to see him on a horse. Or me.
If only!
Every other relationship I had was such a disdaster, and I'm sure he'll thnk I'm too old for him. Besides, he's the foreman and I'm his boss. But oh, lordy! I'm going to do my best to tempt him. Even a little.
Well, gotta go for now, but I'll appreciate any advice you can give me. I just have to figure out a way to connect with this guy. I get hot just looking at him.
Help!
Love,
Autumn
