After centuries of solitude the stars are finally aligned just right. The handsome Deveraux men of Louisiana are going to meet their match this hurricane season.

This is it! The answer to your Stormy Weather questions. While this isn’t a traditional romance by any stretch, I prefer to think of it as a glimpse of happily ever after or how my Cajun werewolves spend their first Christmas as a pack.

Seduced by a Cajun Werewolf is finally available! This is book 3 of the Stormy Weather series (previously titled Bound & Determined) and I’ve completely rewritten it. I’ve also added 14,000 words which is almost half of the original size. This book has always been tough for me, emotionally and writing wise. But I’m super proud of it and am really, really happy to finally be able to tell Laurent and Violet’s story the way I think it should be told.

Ultra sexy werewolf Laurent Deveraux thinks that Violet, the love of his life, died two hundred years ago until she shows up in New Orleans looking for him.

Violet, now a vampire, thinks she’s someone else. Her powerful and dangerous sire has bound her memories, taught her how to kill and Laurent is her next target.

Laurent is determined to awaken her memories and her undying passion before danger steals her away again.

EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER ONE

A mellow jazz tune filled the room and the hot breeze blew into the space like a blow torch. A single figure cloaked in darkness entered and crossed Laurent’s line of sight. The woman kept to the shadows and settled at a table in the opposite corner. She was dressed in black from head to toe, and Laurent immediately discarded her as Goth or a wanna-be vamp. Plenty of those lived in the city.

But then the scent of roses wafted under his nose, tickling his memory. He crossed his arms over his chest and pushed the recollection away. Only, it didn’t want to go. It remained as fresh in his mind as it had the first time he’d smelled that sweet floral scent. Two hundred years did little to erase the memory of that day.

Or of her.

Long brunette curls framed her angelic face, and she had the brightest blue eyes he’d ever seen. They changed with her mood. And her smile, Dieu, her smile could charm even the most chaste saint. Her image flashed before him like a blip on the television screen.

Laurent shook his head.

“You all right, cousin?” André asked in that quiet, deep voice.
Laurent nodded. “You guys should go on home. You don’t have to stay with me.”

“You sure?” Burke finished off his beer.

He nodded. “I’ll get the bill.” After all, he’d done the most drinking.

They stared at him for a moment, and then got to their feet. He watched them depart. Lifted a hand to wave goodbye. Then tossed back another shot of whiskey.

Damn his high metabolism.

Laurent savored the darker hours, when he felt most at peace, closest to his true self. These were the hours during which he didn’t have to work so hard to hide.

Electricity sizzled through the bar, and cold fingers tried to reach into his mind. He slammed the door shut on his thoughts and looked around the room suspiciously, his gaze falling on the newcomer in black. A ray of light sliced across the room, briefly highlighting the woman’s face. Brilliant blue eyes met his, and he sucked in a breath.

No. It wasn’t possible. He struggled with the reality of what he’d seen…and of what he knew to be true.

And just like that, the light was gone—and so was she.

Today’s snippet is about the moment. To me, the moment is when the hero and heroine’s world’s collide. That first intense moment where their gazes lock and they either hate each other, fall for each other, or…well, you’ll see.

The rain fell in heavy drops, but she didn’t seem to notice. In the dim light of the street lamps, he could see her clearly now. Slowly, she lifted her hands and pushed back the thick fabric hiding her face. She was almost too beautiful to look at—and yet, Laurent couldn’t seem to look away.

He knew that face as well as he knew his own.

His breath left his lungs in a rush. Her eyes were just as blue as he remembered, only now they seemed to glow. Her skin was still dewy and perfect, like that of a fine porcelain doll. Ethereal. Her brows were perfect arches, the same charcoal brown he’d been fascinated by all those years ago. Even in the darkness, he could make out the thick lashes that fringed her eyes.

Those eyes…so blue, so beautiful. He felt like he’d been kicked in the gut by a mule. Damn, she was beautiful. But his mind raced with questions. Most importantly, what was she doing standing in the middle of a street in New Orleans when she’d died two hundred years ago in France?

His arms and legs felt heavy, and he realized he was getting drenched. But it didn’t matter. He’d stand in a hurricane if it meant finding out if she, if Violet, were real. Or if he’d finally lost his mind and was only envisioning her.

Her lips were just as rosy as he remembered; her nose as perfectly shaped, her face oval and oh so familiar.

She remained silent. Did she recognize him?

He stepped closer, silently praying to the gods, Fates, and anyone else who would listen. Sniffing the air, he tried to catch her scent but she was downwind.

“Violet?” He didn’t like the husky tone of his voice. Hated the weakness in his knees, the soreness that resided where his heart had once been. Loathed the desire he still felt for a woman long dead.

Could his eyes be playing tricks on him? Could this woman really be his little Violet? After all these years?

Not trusting himself or his luck, he took another step. She lifted her hands to her lips, almost as if she were praying. Her fingernails were long and polished a glossy red.

A sharp ache erupted inside his chest, and he reached up to rub it. His hand brushed something, and he looked down to see a dart sticking out of his skin. Plucking it out, he stared at the woman before him. Then she and the rest of the world went dark.

Hello Sexy Readers!

Reading through the search terms that bring visitors to my site is often interesting, sometimes surprising and occasionally, my eyebrows hit the ceiling. Like one time, someone searched for “hot werewolf sex.” I hope they found some in my books. *wink*

Sometimes these terms are similar to questions I get in my inbox. So I thought I’d grab a random one each week and address it. And since we all know how much I love alliteration, I’ll be calling it Someone Searched For It Sunday. Seeing as it’s Sunday, I have one prepared.

Search term: How to Buy Selena Blake Books

This search term must stem from the fact that as of writing this not all of my Stormy Weather books have been rereleased on Kindle and Nook. I’ve had dozens of people (no, I’m not exagerating) ask me when and where they can get the last books in the series. My answer is always the same. They can buy them from Amazon or Barnes and Noble just as soon as they go on sale.

When will they go on sale? Always a good question and hard to answer. My best advice…keep the notes coming. The encouragement really helps. And sign up for my newsletter so you’re notified of new releases.

Back to the search term. How to Buy Selena Blake books. You can purchase my books at

Hola everyone! I’m over at Lissa Matthews blog today celebrating her 40th birthday! She’s such a dear friend and I’m hoping that she’s been enjoying her birthday party this month. Lots of great authors have shown up to help her celebrate. And good grief, she’s giving one of YOU a kindle!!! Head on over and talk birthday cakes with me.

I’m also over at Madison Chase’s blog today. You can read an interview with yours truly. I answered questions about my upcoming release, Seduced by a Cajun Werewolf, and my series. I also gave some thoughts on publishing, independent publishing, and writing in general.

I wanted to update everyone on a few tidbits. First, I’ve gotten the rights back to my Stormy Weather series and also my book in the Stolen series. What does this mean for readers? Well, if you haven’t read the series yet, you’re going to get a chance to. The books will be released in a wide variety of formats this fall. Look for hot new covers and lower price points.

If you’re wondering what I’ve written in a certain theme or genre, check out my new Theme/Genre page. This is a work and progress. Once the bulk of my books have been released, I’ll update the page (and my other pages) with buy links.

My website will be undergoing book cover changes as I swap out covers. I can’t wait to see what you think of the new covers!

Also, and I know I’ve been saying this for a while, but truthfully with my hand on a bible, Burke’s book will be released very soon. I’m also planning to release an anthology of all five Stormy Weather books. All five Deveraux men under one cover… how will you manage?!

If you’re looking for my daily hunk, check out my tumblr blog (but be warned, some pics aren’t work safe, some of the cupcakes will make you ravenous -like you weren’t already- and some of the landscapes will make you call your travel agent.)

A few folks have asked if Reed, from Surprising Darcy, will get his own book and the answer is yes. I’ve already got the first few chapters mapped out and I’ve met the heroine. She’s something else!

I do have a second Stolen book in the works (and sequels to both stories) but there might be a change to the series title. So stay tuned for that.

The folks at Changeling are currently working on the cover for the third Deep Space Encounters book, Azula’s Rebellion. As soon as I have something I’ll show it to you! Edits are done. Watch for the release November 19th.

I’ve always looked forward to writing the fourth book in the Stormy Weather series. The hero is Andre. You’ve met him in the other books. But I know him as a dark, slightly dangerous, brooding, quiet Alpha male. The Alpha of the Alphas in fact.

I’ve known for a while now that he needs his own pack. And he would never challenge his brother, Sebastian, to become leader of their pack.

So as I set about writing Andre’s book I wrote several outlines and scrapped them all. There was just too much plot there. Too much stuff happening. And Andre’s book…well, it’s really all about him and his heroine Juliette. Having too much other stuff going on was just detracting from their relationship and all the hundreds of years worth of issues they need to work out.

Less plot may sound strange to some people. In fact, I worried about it a lot. But then I realized there’s plenty of conflict and this is a romance novel after all. It’s about the central couple. It’s about learning to communicate, learning what makes your partner happy and falling in love. It’s about exploring your passion and fulfilling your desires. It’s about teaming up to overcome whatever obstacles stand in your way.

And in this novella, that’s really all I have room for I think.
