Bee Carter has spent a lifetime creating her good-girl persona. Three harsh words uttered in anger shred this carefully crafted façade, testing her relationships.
Nicolas, her handsome billionaire, is hiding a decades-old secret. Bee’s scandal will draw unwanted attention to his dark past, placing the real estate empire he’s built and the employees he manages in peril. Hawke, her tattooed bad-boy biker, protects the rich and famous. His high-profile clients won’t want their bodyguard to be linked to Chicago’s wild woman.
Both men desire her, craving her touch with a white-hot passion, but who will risk everything to stand by her side—her biker or her billionaire?

Interviewed At Dawn’s Reading Nook
I’ve been interviewed at Dawn’s Reading Nook!

Here’s a snippet…
How much of your own personality bleeds into your characters?
Cynthia Sax: Part of the fun of writing is NOT being ourselves, exploring views of the world we wouldn’t necessarily hold. For example: I’m not overly concerned about my appearance yet Bee, the heroine in Sinful Rewards, is a fashionista. I’m not a great cook. She is.
BUT the emotion is real. I know what it is like not to fit in. I know what it is like to be responsible for other people, to not have the luxury of thinking only about myself when making life decisions.

Happy New Year!
Sunrise Over Venice, Italy
My dear wonderful hubby and I would like to wish you a very happy new year and a terrific 2015! (big hugs)
This will definitely be a great year for me. I already have 7 releases scheduled for the year. From January to June, the remaining 6 Sinful Rewards stories will be released. I love the second half of the story even more than I love the first. Sinful Rewards 7 will likely shift your entire thinking about some of the characters.
In April, the Mastered 2 box set will be releasing. It’s priced at a crazy low 99 cents and is available for pre-order now.
http://www.amazon.com/Mastered-Ten-Tales-Sensual-Surrender-ebook/dp/B00NUUO7G0
I LOVE my story in Mastered 2. Yes, it has a billionaire hero and he is absolutely yummy. I’m super excited to see your reaction to it!
I’m working on other projects for 2015. I’m 100 pages or 25,000 words into a delicious 400 page/100,000 word contemporary erotic romance with, yes, a billionaire hero. This will release sometime after Sinful Rewards (after June).
I hope you have a great day and an even better year!

2014 Recap
2014 was a very busy year! I beam as I look back at the stories I shared with readers this year.
The year started out with Flashes Of Me. I love this story. It has a special place in my heart as it allowed me to work through some challenges in my personal life.
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Flashes-Me-Novella-Cynthia-Sax-ebook/dp/B00F2I2GXO

Henley, the head of cyber security at Blaine Technologies, is a man no one crosses. He watches employees constantly using his network of cameras and enforces his rules by any means possible. Rumors of his violent past, his scarred hands and huge size have resulted in him being feared by everyone… almost everyone.
Katalina, the new intern, worries about the revelation of her most painful secret much more than she fears her sexy boss’s wrath. She sees the loneliness in his dark eyes, feels the gentleness in his marred fingers, tastes the need in his kisses, and she knows he watches her. His silly rules about not stripping for the cameras and no sex at the office are destined to be broken.
Kat likes to be watched. Henley can’t look away. Will this beauty be able to tame her beastly boss?
My next release was Breaking All The Rules with the colorful Camille and her ice man hero, Nate. Breaking All The Rules was named one of the best erotic romance novellas EVER. Yeah, I was stunned by that honor also!

Nathan Lawford, Blaine Technologies’ chief financial officer, is known as the Iceman. He conducts his personal and business affairs without emotion, never allowing himself to become involved with anyone. When Nate sees something or someone he wants, he negotiates, paying a simple, set monetary price.
Now he wants Camille, the company’s green-haired intern.
Camille Joplin Trent never expected to be paid to pleasure the man of her dreams. She can’t quite figure out why this is a bad thing. Nate is intelligent, handsome, sophisticated, everything she’s ever wanted in a lover and never thought she could have. Their contract is for a month, thirty lust-filled days of making every sexual fantasy they’ve ever had come true. At the end of this month, the rules state their relationship will end.
Of course, Camille has never been good at following rules.
My next release was a spicy SciFi Erotic Romance. I was thrilled to continue the Tryst series with Alien Tryst.
While investigating some mysterious disappearances, Kane uncovers two secrets that change his world. He’s not entirely human. He’s also dangerously close to death. His alien grandfather has broken a sacred rule, putting his entire bloodline, including Kane, at risk of termination.
Eshe, a sexy blonde scientist with lush lips and a hot body, is Kane’s only hope to save his family. He’ll do anything to keep her safe, including fighting alien warriors, crossing vast galaxies and giving his woman the pleasure she craves again and again, using every inch of his fit physique.
In this world, passion is power and love is necessary for survival.

Tryst Denied, the third and final story in the Tryst series, was released next.
Tawania sees aliens. She knows they’re not real. To avoid being locked up in an institution, she does what any functioning insane person would do—she ignores her imaginary intergalactic visitors. Only one tall sexy alien won’t be ignored. Raff’s heated touch scorches Tawania’s grip on reality. His kisses drive her to madness. He declares that she’s his destined mate. He also insists he’s real.
Raff, an Orogone warrior, is very much real. This handsome warrior has been sent to Earth to round up misbehaving off-worlders and he’s not accustomed to being ignored, especially not by a brown-eyed human female with the most kissable lips in fifteen galaxies. He has mere days to convince her to bond with him. Failure results in death.

The first six stories in Sinful Rewards released from June to December!
Belinda “Bee” Carter is a good girl; at least, that’s what she tells herself. And a good girl deserves a nice guy—just like the gorgeous and moody billionaire Nicolas Rainer. He is everything she wants in a man.
Or so she thinks, until she takes a look through her telescope and sees a naked, tattooed man on the balcony across the courtyard. Hawke is mysterious, the bad boy she knows will bring only heartbreak. He has been watching her, and that makes him all the more enticing.
But when a mysterious and anonymous text message dares her to do something bad, she must decide if she is really the good girl she has always claimed to be, or if she’s willing to risk everything for her secret fantasy of being watched.
Is her mystery man the reclusive billionaire with a wild side or the darkly dangerous bad boy?

Sinful Rewards 6 – Fashions
One of the fun things about writing Sinful Rewards was looking at all of the different fashions. Sinful Rewards 6 has a couple great fashion moments.
This Jonathan Saunders Benni crepe and satin-crepe dress is very similar to the dress Angel wears to the club, except her dress was all black.
This is THE Hermès Le Mors à la Conetable’ Silk Twill Scarf that is featured in Sinful Rewards 6. I’ve had the good fortune to touch a similar scarf (not own it – laughs) and they are very delicate works of art. A Hermès scarf is definitely a classic accessory that can be worn forever and handed down from mother to daughter, a possibility that really appeals to Bee.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays
Christmas Tree In Barbados
Merry Christmas to reading and writing buddies who celebrate! Happy Holidays if you don’t celebrate. No matter what, today is usually a family day. I will be spending it with my dear wonderful hubby!
Monkey Christmas Tree In Barbados
I’m taking the opportunity between Christmas and New Year’s to work on a new story. This story is a contemporary erotic romance with characters and a setting you haven’t seen before. Yes, the hero is a billionaire. He makes me smile and I think you’ll love him also.
Purple Christmas Tree In St. Thomas
I can’t share much more about this new project because it might change significantly before it is published. I don’t know who will be publishing it yet. My awesome agent handles those details.
Christmas Tree And Yacht In St Thomas
As for the unsuccessful hero in Sinful Rewards, I hope to also write his story in 2015 (and no, I won’t tell you who that hero is – grins). He is definitely hero material, especially after all of the activities in this story.
Christmas Decoration In St Kitts
I hope to write some more SciFi erotic romances in 2015 also. I have a novella that is half completed with a hard as rock (literally) alien hero.
Christmas Tree In St Kitts
But for now, I’m concentrating on the contemporary erotic romance and am looking forward to reading great erotic romances from writing buddies. If I’ve been a good girl (unlikely – grins), there will be some under the tree today!

Nicolas Rainer, Chicago’s most sought-after billionaire bachelor, has finally decided what he wants, and that’s Bee Carter in his arms, forever. He shows up unannounced on her doorstep and kisses her until her toes curl and her body burns.
Nicolas wasn’t the sexy man Bee expected to see this morning. Hawke Masters, her tattooed former marine, is riding his customized chopper toward the condo building, anticipating an equally mind-meltingly erotic encounter.
Both men want her with a thrilling intensity. Neither her billionaire nor her biker wishes to share her affections. Is today the day Bee is forced to choose?

Sinful Rewards And Anticipation
Christmas At Selfridges
Christmas, for me, is all about the anticipation. I love thinking about how loved ones will react when they receive my gifts. I put a lot of thought into each one, trying to find the perfect presents.
When we were kids, we were very poor (we didn’t eat every day) and we couldn’t afford much. We could, however, dream and man, oh, man, did we! We’d grab a toy catalogue and study the pages for hours, envisioning all of the toys, who would receive what, who we’d invite to play with us. We had so much fun. Even now, I look back at that time and smile.
Bee feels this way about the rewards she earns from Friendly, her mysterious texter. Cyndi, her best friend, wants to open every box immediately. Bee likes to dream about what might be inside. Before she opens the box, anything is possible. The reward could be a gown she’s always wanted, tickets to Paris, a night out for Cyndi and herself.
I also feel this way about the remaining stories in Sinful Rewards. There are some wonderful scenes, some heart wrenching magical moments and I love thinking about how you’ll react when you read them.

Sinful Rewards And Dating Naked
One of my guilty pleasures is watching episodes of Dating Naked. Dating Naked is exactly what it sounds like—the participants go on blind dates while completely naked. The premise is that when people bare their bodies, they bare themselves.
This is similar to one of the premises of Sinful Rewards. When Bee first looks at Hawke, he’s standing on his balcony, completely naked. He has tattoos and scars. She reads his past on his skin. He’s open about who he is and what he wants.
In contrast, both Bee and Nicolas are very careful about who sees their bare bodies and who sees their true selves. They keep secrets, hiding under layers of clothing.
Thanks to Friendly, the mysterious texter, Bee engages in more and more daring displays of exhibitionism, revealing her body and her true self. Nicolas doesn’t reveal his body until Sinful Rewards 6, when he showers at Bee’s place. This undressing coincides with emotional sharing, an openness, and signals trust.
Yep, I appreciate the premise behind Dating Naked. The biggest issue I have with the show is the man’s physical reaction. The man is expected to control himself, to look at his beautiful date and not get an erection. It is shameful if he gets a boner.
I don’t know about you but when a man looks at my naked body, I WANT him to get an erection. I want him to lose control, to want me, to not think about anything other than touching me, being with me. I’ve been with my hubby for over twenty years and he still can’t carry on a conversation while I’m naked.
Would you date naked? If a man sees you naked, do you expect him to react or to control himself?

Sinful Rewards – Our Changing Relationship With Our Moms
When I was a kid, I viewed my mom as a superhuman being who could fix anything and never require fixing herself. She’d absorb all of my temper tantrums and never strike back. She knew everything, could do anything, could shield me from the darkness in the world.
Then, when I was a teenager, I said something horrible to her and she cried. This totally changed our relationship. I realized I had the ability to hurt my mom. In that moment, I viewed her as…well… human, not supermom but a regular person with her own doubts and fears and concerns.
In Sinful Rewards 6, Bee realizes that she can hurt her mom and yes, this changes their relationship also.
“What’s wrong, honeybee?” she answers, expecting the worse. There have been too many nasty surprises in my mom’s past for her to anticipate anything else.
“There’s nothing wrong,” I lie, not wishing to add to my mom’s problems. “But you might hear some crazy rumors about me. Don’t believe any of them. They’re not true.”
“I stopped listening to gossip when I was three months pregnant with you.” My mom sighs. Her shift hasn’t begun and she already sounds exhausted. “I’m sorry. I know you wanted to leave all of the gossip behind you and start fresh, pretending you had normal parents, parents who loved each other, who married and planned to have you.”
Oh God. She realized what I was trying to do. I wiggle, uncomfortable, unable to remain still. I never intended to hurt her. She’s my mom, the only person who has ever loved me.
“This is new gossip,” I assure her.
“There’s always new gossip, putting a different slant on the same ol’ history.” She misinterprets my reply. “You’re my daughter. Someone will uncover our connection, tell others, and the talk will follow you. It will never end, you’ll never have a normal life, and it’s all my fault.” Her voice wobbles, and I feel like shit. I caused my hardworking mom pain, made her feel less than unworthy.
“I’m so sorry, honeybee,” she apologizes yet again.
“I’m not sorry to be your daughter.” As I say these words, I realize they’re the truth. A month ago, I might have wished I’d been born into a traditional family, but that wouldn’t have given me the skills, the backbone of steel, I need to manage my latest disaster.
“I’m proud that you’re my mom,” I continue, wishing to tell her this, something I should have shared with her years ago. “You raised me on your own, sacrificing everything for me, teaching me that I can survive any situation. I need that now.”
Did you have that moment with your mom?
