Tell us a little about Her Desert Prince.
Catherine Taylor is no stranger to life’s school of hard knocks. At the tender age of 18, she left her dysfunctional family behind and struck out on her own, finally free to embrace her passion for creating art. After years of hard work, she has achieved some degree of acclaim. When she is offered the opportunity to work in the small middle eastern country of Bashir to create the defining mural for the new children’s critical care ward, Catherine embraces the chance to meld her love of children and her love of art. What she doesn’t think she is ready for is the blatant and instant passion she feels the moment she meets the successful country’s crown prince, Malik.
Malik al-Hakim has been raised with the sole purpose of someday becoming the king of his beloved country of Bashir. Years of careful preparation by his loving family has him ready to take the yolk from his father one day, but nothing could prepare him for the instant lust he feels the moment he sees Catherine. Never one to let an opportunity slip by, Malik pursues Catherine convincing her to explore their desire. But when political intrigue places Catherine in danger, Malik soon realizes lust has evolved to love and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep the woman of his dreams safely by his side, no matter how hard she tries to fight their fate.
A sneak peek between the pages of Her Desert Prince.
She stepped outside, the scent of jasmine filled her senses and her muscles instantly relaxed. The quiet snick of the door closing spurred her into action. She took the first path until she found a nice grassy area beneath a palm tree. She sat down and opened her sketchpad.
Her fingers flew over the pages as she captured the scenes flittering through her mind. She lost all track of time until a husky male voice said, “Hello, beautiful.”
Her head snapped up to see the stranger from the airport.
“What are you doing here?” she asked, pulling the sketchbook to her chest.
“I was about to ask you the same thing.” He slipped closer. “What are you drawing?” He craned his neck but couldn’t see anything.
“Nothing.” She closed the book with a snap, but her cheeks turned pink, making him even more curious about what she’d been drawing.
Then a memory nudged his brain. “You’re the artist commissioned to do the mural at the hospital.” He shook his head, trying to reconcile her with the woman at the airport.
“Yes.” Her chin came up, and he couldn’t help but grin. She was defensive about her work for some reason. No worries; he thought it was great. But part of him wanted to haul her into his arms and kiss her again. Instead, he followed a saner choice and sat down on the grass across from her.
She wiggled an inch or two away, then her gaze met his. She was wary of him, but he caught a hint of curiosity in her gaze.
“I’m Catherine Taylor.” She held a hand out to him.
“Malik.” He grasped her hand, lowered his head, and caressed her knuckles with his lips. A slight shiver moved through her body and transferred to him. So she was affected by him. Good. He squeezed her fingers.

Interview with Marie Tuhart Author of Master Cole
Give a warm welcome to Marie Tuhart, author of Master Cole! just released on February 19, 2018!
Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Marie Tuhart and Master Cole.
What inspired this particular story?
Well, I was working with a new small publisher and she wanted a full length story from me. She actually gave me the idea telling me she knew I could write a book like that. While I was writing the book she decided to close down her publishing company. So I put the story aside, and then came back to it. I still liked the story, but not the situation the characters were suppose to be in to created the conflict. So I changed the conflict and the book started to write itself
What secret do you use to blast through writer’s block?
It really depends. A lot of time I just sit down with my critique group and do a sprint session. I tell myself it’s only for an hour, you can write a few words in an hour. It usually helps break through the block. Sometimes I have to sit down and really think about why I feel I can write. When nothing works, I’ll allow myself to sit down and read for a while.
What do you want your readers to take away from your books?
I want readers to feel good. Romance is uplifting to me, and I want to share that with my readers. I want them to enjoy reading my books and feel the love the characters have for each other.
Why do you write what you write? Contemporary, paranormal, suspense, etc.
I write erotic romance and super sexy contemporary romance because they’re fun and I enjoy it.
What do you like to do when you are not writing?
I love to read and snuggle with my dog. I also spend time traveling when I can.

Tell us a little about Master Cole.
Janie Murphy’s glimpse inside of lifelong friend Cole Daniels’ special playroom has her intrigued, even if she has no physical experience with such wild pleasures. She only knows she’s been attracted to him for years and yearns for a relationship between them – and she’s not afraid to try a little kink.
Dominant Cole Daniels never imagined he’d find himself in the position of dragging a very grown-up and very attractive Janie out of a BDSM club. And when she challenges him to be the one to teach her the joys of the wilder side of intimacy or allow someone
else the sheer pleasure of initiating her, he can’t resist.
As Janie begins to fall in love, witnessing a true power exchange causes her the painful
realization that touching Cole’s heart is beyond her dreams.
When Janie leaves him, can Cole open his heart to the woman he truly loves? And will she be willing to handle all of Cole?
A peek between the pages of Master Cole.
Two long, frustrating months of living with Cole as if they were nothing more than friends. It was all going to end tonight. Bad or good, it had to end. “Look, I know you promised your dad to look after me, but I’m old enough to make my own decisions.”
“I never said you weren’t old enough.”
“Then quit treating me like a child! I’m a woman and I have needs.”
He choked on his drink, and Janie covered her grin with her hand. She wasn’t going to pull her punches tonight. “I’m going to explore my sexuality with or without your help.” She really wanted him, but if he couldn’t see her as an adult, she’d find another Dom who would.
“What does that mean?” He scowled at her.
Janie downed the rest of her drink and set her glass on the bar. “It means I’m going to make my own decisions about sex and kink and how I experience them.” She lifted her chin and stared at him. “Now it’s your turn to decide if you’re going to teach me what I want to know, or do I go elsewhere?” Her heart clenched. She really wanted to learn from Cole, but she wasn’t going to wait forever. Janie turned and left the room.
