		<description><![CDATA[Finally the day arrives! My erotic romance Red Rio Blue has released from Loose Id. I’m very happy to be part of the Loose-Id family.

 

Marianna Lauren's Red Rio Blue

Genre: Vampire Paranormal

Length: Novel



Aubrey Hunnisett, the owner of the successful nightclub the Rio Blue, is determined to buy out the Club Lunar, run by the dark and mysterious Michael Lennox. Michael is a vampire, and although he can feel intense mutual attraction arcing between them, he’s suspicious of Aubrey’s offer. Two tragic murders have thrown his club into rough financial waters.

Passionate sex fulfills her exhibitionist fantasies and gives Michael the chance to sift through Aubrey's memories to see if she’s working for his hated enemy, the vampire Richard Sands. Though he discovers she's not, his trip down her memory lane leads to its own batch of problems: he's halfway to falling in love with her.

Aubrey's a weakness his enemy can use, and does, dragging her into a vampiric conflict that's more than a century old. But he's underestimating Aubrey and her feelings for Michael.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Exhibitionism, violence.

Excerpt

Aubrey Hunnisett could walk in heels. High heels, low heels, wide or stiletto, it didn’t matter; she could glide with perfect grace across any surface short of ice. She made an excellent show of it now as she spiked her way around the half-empty dance floor, following one of Club Lunar’s beefy bouncers in perfect time to the throbbing techno. The hungry heat of male eyes burned into her back as she passed, and even more of those mixed hate/envy glares from the women, neither of which were unusual in this environment. Which was why she employed her own massive bouncers at the Rio Blue.

Still, being watched by strangers had taken on a whole new meaning after the dead girl was found in Club Lunar’s back rooms.

The techno bass pulsed through her like a massive beating heart. Flickering lights swept the dance floor, turning the movement of the dancers into jerky frame-by-frame animation. The sharp scents of sweat and alcohol called to her as they always did, and for a moment she wanted nothing more than to be out there, lost in a sinuous rhythm of her own.

But she hadn’t come to Club Lunar to dance. She’d come to pick a fight with Lunar’s owner, the reclusive but reputedly oh-so-urbane Michael Lennox.

She followed the bouncer, but even in four-inch heels, she still couldn’t see over the broad back wrapped up tight in Lunar’s requisite silver lamé. A person could land a 747 between those shoulder blades. She’d never really gone for the bodybuilder type. Steroids wreaked havoc with the parts she liked a lot more. This guy had a nice ass, though, and she wondered briefly if there was hope for whatever else was going on in those tight, dark pants. But idle fornication wasn’t on her agenda either. If she played her cards right, Mr. Beefy might end up working for her. And how awkward would that be?

The bouncer led her to a corner table on a dais, barely illuminated with an indirect silvery light. He leaned his pretty face in close enough that his warm breath tickled her neck when he spoke. “Mr. Lennox will be just a moment.”

Aubrey gave him a smile and took a seat. The bouncer’s glance strayed to her cleavage as she crossed her legs and smoothed down her silk halter dress. That was fine. She’d dressed this way for a reason -- a very Machiavellian reason -- skirting the line between sexy and trashy. Now that she was here, she thought she may have strayed just a tad too far into trashy.But it was damn expensive trashy.
