Uncommon Pleasure by Anne Calhoun
Coming March 5, 2013
From a “fresh and imaginative” (The
Romance Studio) voice in erotic romance come the tales of two women, each
daring to challenge the toughest of men…but in these edgy, heated encounters,
the greatest thing she’ll risk is her heart.
In Over the Edge, after a
tragic incident during Ty Hendricks’ last tour of duty he cut off all
connection with anyone he cares about—until a night with Lauren Kincaid draws
him reluctantly back into the world. Lauren sees a wounded man in danger of
losing everything to his inner demons, but the sensual, no-holds-barred fight
for Ty’s soul could cost Lauren her heart.
In All on the Line, Abby
Simmons fell hard for Lieutenant Sean Winthrop, but he sacrificed their
relationship when he deployed to Afghanistan. Now he’s home, full of regrets
and intent on winning back the woman he never forgot. Abby gives Sean her body
but holds her heart aloof, until one night of pleasure forces her to choose her
U.S. Marine…or life without him, forever.

When Secondary
Characters Aren’t Characters…
One of the more unusual secondary characters I’ve written
isn’t actually a person. She’s Gretchen the Difficult Dachshund, whose
person/owner is Lauren Kincaid, the heroine in UNCOMMON PLEASURE. Gretchen
wasn’t in the original version of the story. The muse suggested the idea of
including a rescue dog in the book but I didn’t follow that hint until a beta
reader had a go at the first draft. It needs more, she said. Well, I said, I
think Lauren might have a rescue dog. Dingdingding…we have a winner! she
said.
And so Gretchen was born. For a dog weighing just under
eleven pounds, she has a big role in the story: she provides some humor, gives
the hero, Ty Hendricks, a chance to realize how badly he’s misjudging Lauren,
and ups the conflict between Ty and Lauren. Lauren’s putting down roots and
taking care of the people (and animals) she loves. Ty could disappear from the
face of the earth in less than sixty seconds, and he’s doing his best to drive
away everyone who wants to love him. A “useless” dog, one that’s been abused
and doesn’t trust easily, mirrors his emotional experience. In the end there’s
a nice moment between Ty and Gretchen, who isn’t quite as useless as he thought
she was….because none of us are.

I was never allowed to own a pet because my father had allergies so it was something I never could experience.
