Well, after several months of not having a novel with Ravenous Romance, I am hard at work on WAVES OF PLEASURE.  Did you read my story "Legs" in the SPELLBOUND anthology?  That was my first time playing with the mermaid legands which are a part of nearly ever culture.

Now, I am creating a passionate story for Lyria, a mermaid decedant of Melusine who can shift from legs to fin at will, and Drew, a disillusioned man who thinks trust is overrated and is horrified to find himself back in his hometown.

It's been great fun building Lyria's world, which has some human aspects, and story as she does what she believes she can never do - love and trust a human - all while keeping the Stone of Fate away from the sea dragon.

Look for it later this summer!

I am so excited to annouce the arrival of my newest Ravenous Romance (and my first romantic suspense) PASSIONATE HEAT.

Elle Amery, author of Grace on Fire, says "As a fan of gorgeous firefighters, I'm thrilled with Rachel Kenley's smokin' hot hero, Miles Anderson. Passionate Heat is a hot and sensual read, well paced and with characters you'll grow to love. I'll be the first in line to buy the next book in this series"

A troubled past

When Miles Anderson left Glenway, he never wanted to see the small town again. Labeled a troublemaker and a no-account because of his parents, he was ready to move on with his life. But he didn't think his decision would mean he'd never see Jillian Wagner again either. After Miles was gone, Jillian turned to the wrong people for support and lost her dreams in the process.

An unexpected return

Now an arson and explosion expert, Miles is asked by an old friend and father figure to come home and help put an end to a suspicious string of fires. He agrees, only to discover more than burned out buildings. Jillian is still there, no longer the dancer she once dreamed of becoming, and newly divorced. As buildings in Glenway continue to burn, Miles cannot help but think Jillian is a target.

A fight for the future

Jillian never expected to see Miles again. She had made peace with her past - mistakes and all - and was ready to move on. With his return, however, comes an abundance of old feelings, starting with anger and swiftly moving to desire and love. Miles never thought he could have a home, but with Jillian in his life again, everything is different.

Because nothing burns hotter than a rekindled love

It's been weeks since I posted, but I've been wonderfully busy. What's wonderful - I've been writing, and as a writer knows, when the Muse smiles - so do we!

So, what am I working on now? I''ve finished the first book of a contemporary series and it's my first romantic suspense. I'd tell you the title, but it's being changed :) so you'll have to wait a little to find out about it. The good news is you wont have to wait long for Miles' and Jillian's story because it's coming out in a few weeks. I promise to post an excerpt soon.

As I was writing, I discovered Miles' had two brothers, Zack and Jason, and they are getting their own books and their own happily ever afters. Look for those later this year.

Next up, I'm in the process of writing DESTINY'S JOURNEY, the second story in the DESTINY series. This is Omri and Aviva's story, two people destined to... get on each others nerves. And, yes, fall in love.

I hope you're all finding success in your life.

Now... I need some sleep!

Warmly,
Rachel

The AMBROSIA anthology!  My story is called JUST'S DESSERTS and is about pastry chef Justine Calodorini and tycon Adam Stade who adores her creations. 

Jesse has done a great job putting together this anthology and she's also been posting interviews with the contributors on her blog.  Yes, today is my day, so come read my interview at http://sexfoodplay.wordpress.com/.  She calls me scrumptious - I love her for that alone .

My story in the anthology is also available as a Ravenous Rendezvous, so you can check it out that way for a... taste.

More soon, Rachel!

Hello readers!

For my first blog post I wanted to simply say hello and how happy I am to be part of the growing Ravenous Romance family.  This is an incredible new imprint and with every release I am more impressed.

I also want to say thank you for the wonderful reception you've given my first books from Ravenous - THE GLASS STILETTO and DESTINY'S JEWEL as well as the SPELLBOUND Fairy Tale Anthology.   Those were special books for me and I am thrilled to have shared them.  I also have a story, UNMASKED, in the SEXTROLOGY anthology.

For those who like sneak peeks, later this year there will be two more books in the Destiny series: DESTINY'S JOURNEY is Omri's story and DESTINY'S JOY is Penina's story.  You meet both of them in Jewel; they are Ellards siblings.  Currently I'm working on a contemporary, and my first romantic suspense, STEADFAST where past loves Jillian Wagner and Miles Anderson are finding love again while an arsonist causes problems in the town where they grew up. 

I look forward to hearing from you and keeping you updated on my writing world.  "See" you soon!
