Hi Carmen and welcome to HJ! We’re so excited to chat with you about your new release, Auctioned to the Greek Billionaire!

 
Hi guys! Thanks so much for having me.
 

Please summarize the book for the readers here:

Auctioned to the Greek Billionaire is an edgy erotic romance about a woman who’s desperate for money to help fund her adult brother’s special needs care. After losing her parents, she’s also losing her mind–which explains why she ends up auctioning her virginity at the infamous House of Alexa, in hopes of making enough money to help her brother. What she didn’t count on was the scorching attraction to a delicious man who makes her wish for a lot more than a month with her…
 

Please share your favorite line(s) or quote from this book:

Pleasuring him wasn’t just fantasy…it was financial security.

To keep this deal legit, she needs to forget about her emotions for one hot month…

If this goes through, I’ll write Randy a thank-you note for standing me up on prom. To think I could have lost my virginity then.

What good could come from fantasizing about a man not willing to make an offer on her?

 

Please share a few Fun facts about this book…

  • When I sent this proposal to my editor, she gave me an immediate YES and took it to the acquisition meeting. That was the fastest reply I’ve ever received. Haha.
  • I was traveling when I wrote one of the hottest scenes in this book, and let’s just say the person next to me got a sneak-peek. Ugh. Wish I could have switched seats!

 

What first attracts your Hero to the Heroine and vice versa?

Theo is first attracted by Amaya’s beauty, but when they start talking, he appreciates her sense of humor and intelligence. These two just have great banters throughout the story! And Amaya loves that Theo also puts family first just like she does. They share this connection and their relationship builds from there.

 

Did any scene have you blushing, crying or laughing while writing it? And Why?

There’s a moment she feels like he betrayed her and kept critical information from her (I can’t go deep into it here because I don’t want to spoil) that really touched me. Because I understood where she was coming from, and, after being on her own for a while, she didn’t want to put up with any BS and didn’t want to be with someone she didn’t trust.

Here’s a little snippet…

The main vein in her neck pulsated. She took a step forward. Tears brimmed in her eyes, but she quickly wiped them off before they fell down her cheeks. “I want to go home. Now. You have one week left, and if you want to discount it from the total amount, please do it. I can’t stay here one more minute.”

 

Readers should read this book….

If they’re in the mood for a super sexy romance that’s a bit on the edgy side. Also if they want escapism and are open minded to the concept of virgin auctions.

 

What are you currently working on? What other releases do you have in the works?

I’m working on a contemporary series I’ll be releasing later this year. So excited!

Excerpt from Auctioned to the Greek Billionaire:

Amaya stood on her tiptoes to kiss him, but before she managed to lift herself all the way to even get on chin level, he dipped his head and captured her lips with his in a scorching kiss. Naked, he embraced her, his proud cock poking her belly. She stroked his tongue with hers, linking her arms around his head, ready to give herself to him.
He lifted her off the floor, and she wrapped her legs around his torso. He carried her to the bed without interrupting the kiss—if anything, he only staked his claim harder, adding another notch of intensity. She caught a whiff of her own female scent and matched his passion, teasing him with the tip of her tongue. She motioned to disengage from him, wrenching her mouth away for a nanosecond, only to kiss him with more urgency, nipping his lower lip in the process. Never had she tried these things with anyone, but he seemed to like it.
When he put her on the mattress, she moaned. His body
covered hers, and damn, she wouldn’t have it any other way. He deposited a kiss on her neck, and worked his way down, tracing her breast with his tongue.
“Theo. God.”
An edginess took over her, lifting her ass off the mattress, making her arch toward him, because she wanted this man more than anything she’d ever wanted in her life. She wanted him even if she didn’t know exactly the consequences of wanting someone so badly.
He sucked her breast, playing with the other, and she thrust her fingers into his hair, loving the tingly sensation burning inside her tits. He began whispering in his native language, his voice manly and coarse, his tone determined.
Turned on, she asked, “What did you say?”
“I said you’re magnificent, and by the time I’m done with you…” he said, switching his attention from one breast to the other. “By the time you leave, I want to have kissed and fucked every part of you to exhaustion. Every hole. All mine.”
Zings of anticipation traveled through her. She mewled, unsure if she wanted to enjoy every second with him or if she preferred for time to fast forward so she’d have experienced his hands, lips and cock on every part of her already.
“You want it too, don’t you, my dirty virgin?” He nudged her thighs apart, and a wave of heat whispered over her sex.
“Yes.”
He continued to stroke her thighs, sliding his hands down the back of her knees, where he made invisible patterns in an enticing circular motion. She bucked toward him, his caress sending her blood into a low simmer. “Look at me.”
She bit her lower lip, a rush of embarrassment filling her. She swallowed hard, and kept her gaze on him, basking in the sight of that wonderful naked man massaging her calves, then lowering his attention to her feet.
He didn’t waver, his eyes intently on hers, and removed the high heels from one foot, then the other.
She wriggled her toes, excited. “What’s the deal with feet and shoes?”
He began kneading the arches of her feet, massaging them. God. His hands were so strong, vigorous, warm. She moaned, impossible to resist. “Your feet take you everywhere. I like to pay tribute to them…because they’ve brought you to me,” he said, his voice dropping an octave.
They’ve brought you to me. God. What the hell? A dizzying spell swirled around her, his statement loosening her bones. Maybe he sensed the tenderness of his own words, because he frowned for a moment, and looked away from her. She sucked in a breath. Say something, stupid. Say something. “Well, I’m here. What are you going to do?”
