COMING SOON - My new novel, Cat's Game, will be released September 10, 2010 by Ellora's Cave!

Here is a brief introduction:

A powerful man with a dangerous secret, a beautiful woman desperate to steal what he is hiding...

The game begins when Jan Connolly breaks into Marcus Damon's New York hotel room and ends up with both more, and less, than she'd planned. Marcus, the brilliant scientist and ruthless businessman behind Damon Laboratories, pulls her into a raw sexual encounter that leaves her physically satisfied, but without the data she's been hired to steal. Jan's next move is to disguise herself and get a position inside his genetic research company. Everything goes smoothly until she accidentally bumps into Marcus and, quite literally, falls at his feet. When Marcus makes the connection between his company's new Research Analyst and the cat-burglar in his hotel room he agrees to let her go free, if she first submits to playing by his rules. After raw passion turns to intimacy and then betrayal, the game becomes more dangerous than either player expected.

When two predators play cat and mouse, they both lose... or they both win.


Recent reviews for my books:

Taking Chances
" Ms. Bern has taken the many layers of a woman, added the layers of a determined man, thrown in a tricky situation and given a short but interesting read... With a dash of hot sex and a sprinkle of humor this piquant tale is a keeper." Alternative Read, May 2010

In A Dark Embrace
"I thoroughly enjoyed the sensual aspects of the story, and was intrigued at the dance between two such strong, dangerous characters. How do a witch and a werewolf mesh? Very carefully - read and find out." Night Owl Romance, July 2008

"This is probably one of the few times that a read had me rooting for the man from the first few pages. I found the needs, betrayals, strengths, fears, and ultimately the love they found as they worked out the relationship to be a totally enthralling read. It was for me an all too quick read as it seemed to end far too soon. Ms. Bern has given me one to put on my top shelf." Alternative Read, August 08

"In a Dark Embrace is very steamy and very different in a unique exploration that works. Different is good sometimes and In a Dark Embrace is most definitely very good." Joyfully Reviewed, December 08

Demon Master
"There’s a thin line between love and hate. Demon Master crosses to the other side, and skillfully ties it all together...There’s substance and intelligence that shifts to subtlety and blatant unleashed sexuality. This tale captures the nuances of old school dark fantasy. The author is very skilled in exploring the layers of her characters in the traditional sense of early sword and sorcery fiction. There is an eroticism and complexity in her writing that reminded me of CL Moore’s short story, Black God’s Kiss." Joyfully Reviewed, December 08
