Erika Wilde
When Raina Beck is given an invitation to The Players Club,
all she wants is a night of decadence with a gorgeous, sexy stranger. The
seductive, mysterious man she meets fulfills her deepest desires and most
erotic fantasies, giving her a night she’ll never forget. But forgetting him
isn’t quite so easy.
Logan Cruz prefers his women submissive and compliant in the
bedroom . . . everything the independent Raina is not. Yet from the first
moment he lays eyes on her, he’s determined to make Raina his. Despite her
resistance.
When Logan is assigned to protect Raina from a stalker,
everything between them changes. Sex becomes more than just physical, and
emotions run deep. Falling in love was never on Raina’s agenda, but can she let
go of the past and surrender the one thing he wants the most . . . her heart?

Excerpt:
“Tell me something,” he murmured as he caressed the
sensitive crease of her elbow with a stroke of his thumb, gratified to see the
pulse at her neck flutter at his touch and her eyes darken with that same
desire he’d witnessed last night. Even her nipples beaded against the pretty
pink dress she wore. “Are you more afraid of me or the stalker?”
Her gaze turned guarded, contradicting the sugary-sweet
smile she gave him. “I’m not afraid of you.”
No, not in a threatening sense, but physically he could feel
her resistance. Hell, the way she’d bolted on him last night was a clear
indicator that the combustible chemistry between them had spooked her. Given
this second chance, he planned to take full advantage of their time together
and the attraction that hadn’t dissipated one iota. But first, he needed to
knock down some of those walls she’d erected between the two of them.
“Maybe you should be afraid of me,” he said, giving her a
wolfish smile. “Because I’m itching to put you over my knee and spank you for
being so insubordinate last night.”
Her brows shot up, and then the most beautiful thing
happened — that strong, confident woman he’d met last night at the club
reappeared right before his eyes.
Fire and sass sparked in her gaze, making him hard in a
flash. “Oh, I’d like to see you try.”
He flat-out grinned, welcoming this more flirtatious side to
Raina. He lowered his head closer to hers, so that his mouth was near her ear.
“Sweetheart, it would be my greatest pleasure to feel your smooth ass beneath
the palm of my hand. But I don’t think that Dean or Mac would appreciate me
doing so right here in their conference room. However, if you’d like to wrestle
it out later to see who comes out on top, I’m certainly game.”
She gaped at him, though there was no misinterpreting the
amusement in her gaze. With the awkwardness between them finally dispelled, he
released her arm but didn’t step away. “Now let’s get you to work before I
change my mind and give everyone in the office a titillating peep show, with
your bare ass as the main attraction.”
About Erika Wilde:
Erika Wilde (aka Janelle Denison) is the USA Today bestselling
author of over 50 contemporary romances for multiple print publishers.
So, why the new pen name?
As Janelle Denison I’ve always written sexy books, but
lately my writing has taken on more erotic elements that I wanted to keep
separate for readers because not everyone likes their reading material on the
spicier, kinkier side of romance. However, please be assured that
even as Erika Wilde, you will still get an emotionally layered story with
characters you’ll care about and fall in love with. That is always
my goal, whether I’m writing straight contemporary romances, or more erotically
charged stories.
Currently, I’m working on The Marriage Diaries and making
sure that Dean and Jillian enjoy exploring the more erotic side to their
marriage. The series will be on-going, with no foreseeable ending as of
right now, for as long as readers want to be voyeurs to Dean and Jillian’s
sizzling new relationship.
I’m also planning a spin-off series in the future, featuring
the hot military men that work security for Dean at Noble and Associates.

Q/A with Erika:
How did you come up with the idea for this
story?
PLAYING WITH TEMPTATION is a spin-off series from The
Marriage Diaries. While writing those stories, other characters started
appearing on the page, and once I introduced The Players Club, I knew that
those secondary characters needed to get their own stories!
Where do you find your inspiration?
I find my inspiration in everyday life, watching a TV show
where a situation I'm watching turns into an idea, or reading a magazine
article that sparks my imagination. Nothing is off limits!
Is there anything you find particularly
challenging in your writing?
Everything, LOL! Seriously, the more books I write,
the harder it gets, probably because I'm always striving to write better, and
fresh and new plots and conflicts. Luckily I have a great critique
partner who helps me through those challenges.
What are your current projects?
I just finished up the 6th volume in my Marriage Diaries
series, and I'm now concentrating on The Players Club. I don't write more
than one series at a time.
Tell us about your first book. What would
readers find different about the first one and your most recent published work?
Well, my first book, published back in 1995, was written as
Janelle Denison, and it was a paranormal/angel type story called KISS OF AN
ANGEL. Considering that was 20 years ago, I think my writing style has
changed dramatically. I also think my writing is tighter, and much
sexier, too!
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp?
The main message is to be who you are, and don't change for
anyone. You will find someone who will love you just the way you are.
