Coming Soon from 1001 Dark Nights - The Lexi Blake Crossover Collection

BIG NEWS!!! A Letter From Lexi... Who doesn’t love a crossover? I know that for me there’s always been something magical about two fictional words blending and meeting in a totally unexpected way. For years the only medium that has truly done it well and often is comic books. Superman vs. Batman in a fight to the finish. Marvel’s Infinite Universe. There’s something about two crazy worlds coming together that almost makes them feel more real. Like there’s this brilliant universe filled with fictional characters and they can meet and talk, and sometimes they can fall in love. I’m a geek. I go a little crazy when Thor meets up with Iron Man or The Flash and Arrow team up. So why wouldn’t we do it in Romanceland? There are ways out there. A writer can write in another author’s world, giving you her take on it. There’s some brilliant fanfiction out there, but I wanted something different. I wanted to take my time and gradually introduce these characters from other worlds, bring you in slowly so you don’t even realize what I’m doing. So you think this is McKay-Taggart, nothing odd here. Except there is… Welcome to the Lexi Blake Crossover Collection. Over the next year, I will be introducing you to five new characters and five new and brilliant worlds. By the time April of next year comes around, if I’ve done my job, you’ll know and love these characters – sisters from another mister, brothers from another mother. Let me tell you about the worlds I want to take you to. Stark International J. Kenner’s glitzy and beautiful world where the wealthy and powerful live and fall in love. Join Nikki and Damien’s world filled with friends and lovers. Julie writes sexy and amazing heroes and heroines you’ll fall in love with! Bodyguard Bad Boys Carly Philips is one of my personal favorites. She’s flirty and fun and this world will transport you to a place where hot men are willing to give up everything to save their women. With sizzling sex scenes and plots that you keep you guessing, you won’t want to leave this world. Return to Me Corinne Michaels writes beautifully broken characters. Cowboys and country singers, real people living real lives, needing real love. You can’t go wrong with her deeply emotional stories. Delta Force Heroes Susan Stoker’s world is frentic and frenzied. Filled with danger and suspense and a surprising number of kidnappings, her Delta Force team will make your heart pound even as you fall for military heroes. Demonica Underworld What can I say about Larissa Ione? A hell of a lot. She’s one of the best writers working in paranormal today and that’s why I was so thrilled to work with her. Demonica is a harsh world where opposites attract and even a demon can find true love. And all these worlds will blend with mine. I have no idea why these five fabulous women said yes to me. It’s a little insane, but I’m going to take it. Six New York Times bestsellers bringing you a world unlike any you’ve seen. How will Ian Taggart handle it? Likely with sarcasm and a gun. Come with me on this crazy journey. This train will be stopping at some fabulous destinations. Love, Lexi
