About Jade Twilight:
I’m a multi-published writer, with several titles either out or in production. You can also find my works under the name Wynter O'Reilly. On top of that I’m a married, stay at home mom, with one daughter, and a baby boy. We share our home with a Collie named Molly,a parakeet named Fruit Loop, and a fish tank full of fish. My hobbies include crocheting, beading, digital scrap booking, gardening, hiking, and kayaking. When I’m not reading, writing, or taking care of the kids you can find me doing one of those things. I mostly write paranormal, fantasy, suspense, western erotica/ romance, but the limit is my imagination. Which is a little warped so you never know what’ll pop out.
You can learn more about Jade and her work by visiting her website and blog.
Now, Scarlet Myst...

Don't forget to check out Deb's review HERE.
Summary: Erin Calean, Aka Myst, is the estranged daughter of mob boss Robert Calean. She is also a stripper at the Scarlet Kitty, the newest investment of the Scarlet Arm, a brothel for the wealthy and those pretending to be wealthy. But things aren't always what they seem: the girls at the Scarlet Arms are trained killers, beautiful and deadly. Sean Uriel is the mayor's son, a rich boy with too much money and time on his hands. As a pastime he decides to kidnap girls from the upper class, and knock them down a peg or two. Unfortunately for Sean, someone becomes wise to his game, and Erin is hired to kill him. Will she be able to go through with it and kill him, or will she teach him a lesson he'll never forget?
Excerpt:
Bella Huntington sighed and pushed her honey blond hair back out of her face. This was going to be one of those days; she could just feel it. She was already five minutes late for the charity auction. As Ryan Huntington's daughter she was forced to do stuff like this. Ryan was CEO of Huntsman Inc. which made, ironically enough, hunting equipment. It had grown, from her great grandfather doing gun-smithing out of his house, to what was now a multimillion dollar company. The charity functions were her father's idea, to make the company look better with the gun lobbyists and tree huggers. The auction was to raise money for children with cancer. Several other young men and women from the families of the Huntsman's board of directors were being auctioned off to the highest bidder for an evening of their time.
About a mile from her parents' house, where the auction was being held, she noticed the flashing red light in her rear view mirror. With a groan she pulled over and the black unmarked Caprice behind her followed. Shit, had she been speeding? She didn't have clue why else she'd be pulled over. Bella rolled down her window as a man got out of the car and walked up to hers. He wore a baseball cap pulled down over his hair, a black t-shirt and jeans. As he got closer Bella had a bad feeling in her gut.
"Afternoon, Ma'am; any idea how fast you were going?"
Bella shook her head. "No, sir."
"Could I get your license and registration?"
"Sure." She got her license out of her wallet and the registration out of the glove box, handing both to him.
He looked from the license to her and back. "Would you please step out of the car for a moment, Ma'am?"
Bella licked her lips, looking up at him; it really bothered her that she couldn't see his eyes due to the bill of the hat. "Could I see a badge, please, officer?"
"Sure." He pulled his wallet out and showed her a police badge. "Now would you please get out of the car, miss?"
I have enjoyed Jade's work before, and after reading Deb's review, along with the blurb and excerpt of Scarley Myst, it is certainly a book I am going to enjoy reading.
