Burlesque Trio - A Musical Companion

Add caption

When researching burlesque for my newest release, Burlesque Trio, I had to scour through all kinds of music to get the right vibe for the performances that my heroine gives.

Before (or as) you read the story, I'd like to offer a musical companion ((below the blurb)).  Most of the songs are ones in which many have heard of before, but some of them have such an impact on the storyline that I felt compelled to remind or reveal the songs. They really are such a vivid part of the story, so even if you heard them before, take a listen if it's been a while.

I had so much fun writing this one, I truly believe this is one of my strongest to date.  I hope you, the reader, enjoys it as much as I have.

Burlesque Trio

[Ménage Amour: Erotic Paranormal Ménage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, ghosts]

“VaVa Violet” DiCosta was the hottest burlesque dancer in all of 1942 LA until a stalker’s bullet ended her short life. Stuck in limbo, she watches time pass through the eyes of the club she died in.

Nearly seventy years later, best friends Parker Thomas and Ciprian Svetski fall in love with the style of the old building and decide to return it to its former glory and reopen the old burlesque. But they know business, not talent, and the show doesn’t own up to its history.

Violet’s given a second chance in someone else’s body. She shows the men a thing or two about burlesque, as well as how to sell seduction. And she decides to seduce them while she’s at it, but never imagined she’d lose her heart to them.

Or that her killer wouldn’t be happy about her return.

A Siren Erotic Romance

Violet was a burlesque dancer in the 1940's, just as America was heading off to war. We meet her in the first chapter, where she performs her own rendition of Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy to a crowd of GIs about to ship out.

Violet was murdered in the club and due to her untimely death, she was stuck there in limbo, watching time and her beloved second home pass from decade to decade. When new owners Ciprian and Parker take over the joint in the present and revive the old burlesque back to it's original granduer, Violet is given the chance to cross back over to the other side.  That is, thanks to a bitchy, coke-snorting diva who can't really sing or dance.

Violet wows the two men with her performances, and starts their brains whirring, as the bitch they hated soon becomes the woman they can't live without.  They know there is something strange going on, but their desires and appreciation of the woman she has become leads them to stay in some sort of denial.

Of course, the bitch wants her body back.  And her killer wants her soul now that it is out of limbo.  Can she hold on to both, and potentially the love of the two men who helped bring her back into the world of the living?

Ten more days....and Burlesque Trio is out.  I'm really excited about this book and just can't wait.


On to my six...


In this segment, Ciprian is finally allowing himself to realize that there is something off about Missy.  He has no proof, nothing concrete, but his gut is telling him that there is something that just isn't right.

The voice she’d had when she belted out the song onstage was new. Even her speaking voice was different. Her scent had changed. Ciprian felt like he was going insane or Missy had been abducted by aliens and someone else had taken over her body.

Well, that about sums it up. Insane for $100, Alex.

Six Sentence Sunday - Fifteen

I got new cover art this week, which is always exciting.  So, of course I am going with Burlesque Trio for this week's SSS.

In this excerpt, our heroine is just finally getting her first taste of Ciprian. God, I love that name. Makes me imagine dark and dirty things.

She straddled his lap, her robe opening and revealing her black bustier and hose. The hiss he expelled when he opened the satin wrapper further was music to her ears. Thrusting the fabric over her shoulder and to the floor, she moaned as he slid his hands along the sides of her undergarment, grinding his hard cock into the delicate sheer lace at her pussy.

She felt wetness flood her cunt, and she recaptured his lips in the kiss that was nowhere near complete. Frantic, she reached in for the clasp of his belt, needing to feel the hot brand of his cock in her palm. Ciprian ended the kiss and aided her, getting the belt open and the button undone as she made quick work of the zipper, tugging it down.

New Cover Art - Burlesque Trio

Just got the email last night with my cover art for Burlesque Trio and thought I would share with you all.

Slated for a December 7th release, I am super excited about this book!

Weekend Dirty Dozen - Three

Hellllllloooooo, Friday.

Today's post remains in my newest MS, Burlesque Trio, which will be out December 7th from Siren Publishing.  In this scene, our heroine is doing her first burlesque routine in front of her two heroes.  She chooses to use the opportunity to start seducing them but these two throw her for a loop instead.  When you want something so bad you're afraid you'll screw it up it's never a good thing.

Picking at her fingertips, she moved to Ciprian and Parker’s table and began to slowly slide the satin from one arm. Catcalls in the background had her grinning like a Cheshire cat on the inside, but she kept the artful smile plastered to her face. As the fabric slid off her hand, she turned and rubbed it down her cleavage as she sang to the two men who had been the stars of her recent fantasies.

Ciprian, ever cool, looked at her haughtily. But Parker was not as stony-faced as his friend. No, Parker’s sparkling hazel eyes were nearly bulging out of his head as he watched the seductive act before him. Seating herself in his lap, she wrapped the glove around the back of his neck to pull him close to her lips as she sang, both hands holding the edges to prevent him from pulling away from her.

His scent filled her nose, and she felt the swelling of his cock under her ass, reveling in the reaction she got from him. Violet released the cloth and popped from his lap, but not before she gazed over to see the storm brewing in Ciprian’s face. The anger etched into the lines of his face was not what she expected, and it threw her off-guard for a moment.

      But she was a pro, and didn’t even miss a beat. She did start working her way back up to the stage, though, fearing the response Ciprian would have to her performance.

Six Sentence Sunday - Fourteen

Staying on the same track with my latest release Being Improper, now at Carrie's second appointment with Doctor Gibson.

 For all her thoughts of ripping the corset off, she was amazed at how afraid she felt without the ivory boning digging into her ribcage.

            A door opened, and Dr. Gibson peeked out.  “You can come in now, I am ready.”

            Slowly standing as she watched him move back into the room, she gathered all the courage she had to make her rubbery legs move across the ten feet from her seat to the door.  Pure will lead her there, and she paused at the half opened door, knowing if she walked through there was no looking back.  She was going to expose herself more today than she had ever before in her short life.

Weekend Dirty Dozen - Two

The dozen I am including this week is from my upcoming Siren Publishing release, Burlesque Trio, out December 7th.

She was sex incarnate. Missy had the moves, the attitude, and definitely the right attire.

The kiss deepened, and his hands became desperate in their need to touch her. Dipping a hand below the bustier, he captured a breast and pulled it from its confines. Her little rosy nipple peeked out from behind the black and was too succulent to ignore. Parker lowered his head to capture the tip between his lips, sucking it deep in his mouth. She tasted as good as she smelled, like a woman on fire.

Her moans ricocheted around the small room, and her hands fisted into his shirt as he held her aloft and sampled her. Missy’s head thrashed from side to side as he continued to lave the hardened point and pressed his stiff cock along her pussy. Reaching down between her legs, he immediately felt dampness. She wore no panties. Parker slid one thick finger inside her pussy as he recaptured her lips in his, swallowing her moans of lust.
