Dear Readers,

I’m delighted to tell you that The Bikini Diaries is now on sale at a bookstore near you! Of all the books I’ve written, this is one my personal favorites, so I hope you’ll check it out and that by the time you’re done, you’ll feel the same way! Reviewers have been raving so far, and Romantic Times even gave The Bikini Diaries 4 ½ stars! Here’s a short blurb about the book and a peek at what reviewers are saying:

While on business at Florida’s gorgeous Emerald Coast, Wendy Carnes spots a woman who unknowingly changes her life. “White Bikini Babe” is the personification of sex, clearly ready for action—and watching her makes Wendy wonder: If she put on a sexy bikini and got a new attitude, could she get a hot beach guy of her own? Could she really indulge in casual sex for the mere sport of it? Armed with a daring new bikini and a new attitude—along with the journal in which she records her secret thoughts on the whole adventure—Wendy soon finds herself engaging in a wild and very naughty affair with her perfect fantasy man, who pushes her to new sexual extremes she’s never even imagined. But at what point does the game become reality? When does the person you pretend to be become the person you really are? And worse, what happens when your private diary falls into the wrong hands?

“Another smoldering, erotic tale from Alexander. The sensual heat index between this couple is completely off the charts.” ~Keitha Hart, Romantic Times Bookclub, 4 ½ STARS

“Hot, sizzling, and sexy! Lacey Alexander is a must-buy for every erotic romance reader!” ~Sarah, Romance Junkies, 5 BLUE RIBBONS

“Bold, sexy and romantic, THE BIKINI DIARIES is the kind of novel that turns the heat way up and inspires some new fantasies for readers. Lacey Alexander is certainly the queen of what I fondly call 'romantic kink'!” ~Jennifer Ray, Wild on Books, 5 BOOKMARKS

I’m also excited to announce that the long-awaited Adrianna's Undies, Book 3 in the City Heat series, will go on sale in e-book form on March 6 at EllorasCave.com. Long-time readers will remember Adrianna from Sin City, and now, finally, Adrianna has her own super steamy story, another one which I’m especially proud of. Be sure to mark your calendar or save this newsletter since this is the last one I’ll be sending before its release. Here’s the blurb for Adrianna's Undies:

Adrianna Kline has the world at her feet. As the CEO of a major lingerie corporation bearing her name, and a long history as a sexually independent woman, she runs her life on her own terms. Until, that is, Tristan Locke shows up in her office. Adrianna’s first and only love, Tristan is now in the business of corporate takeovers and he has his eye on Adrianna, Inc. But he’s prepared to negotiate. How can Adrianna save her company? By becoming Tristan’s willing sex slave for a night, submitting to his every whim.

Tristan knows that asking Adrianna to be sexually subservient is like asking her to stop breathing. Her need to control everything in her life, including the sex, contributed to their original break up. But even fifteen years later, taming Adrianna is still on his mind. Can commanding and formidable Tristan bend Adrianna to his will once and for all? Or will this night of erotic exploration turn into the ultimate struggle for power?

Coming this fall, look for What She Needs, an ultra-erotic, envelope-pushing, slightly darker novel coming from NAL/Penguin Putnam. After reading this book, my agent said she felt it “transcended the genre”!

Remember, most of my previous books are still available! If you don’t see Seven Nights of Sin or Voyeur in your bookstore, please ask them to order them or get them through Amazon or BN.com. And if you didn’t get enough holiday cheer this year, On Santa's Naughty List should still be easy to find.

Don’t forget, too, that Master of Desire, Book 2 of the Brides of Caralon series, just recently went into print, and if you haven’t yet read Books 1 and 2 in the City Heat series (Lynda's Lace and Carter's Cuffs), they’re available in e-book form at Ellora’s Cave and are also together in one print volume – now is a great time to read City Heat in preparation for Adrianna's Undies.

Last thing, check out an interview with me in the February issue of Bare Back Magazine.

I hope these new books help get rid of the winter blahs and usher you into a glorious, sunny spring! And as always, thanks for reading my books!
