All about Kaenar Langford
 I was born in a little village in the Mountains of Mourne on the east coast of Ireland and came to Canada as a small child. I think my dislike of snow and cold weather comes from my Irish background.
In my professional career, I was a kindergarten teacher. I hadn't written a thing since essays in university. In October of 2005 I went to a seminar on 'How To Write a Romance Novel' and twenty minutes before the end of the workshop, the presenter gave us five minutes to write an introductory paragraph to a romance novel. It was well received when I read it aloud to the group, so I came home and put it on the computer so I wouldn't lose it. It took me five months to finish Lucifer's Angel. I submitted it, got back some rejections then a letter from Ellora's Cave asking me to make changes and resubmit. I spent three weeks reworking it, resubmitted, and got a lovely letter of acceptance. The book came out in April 2007.
In 2008, Total-E-Bound accepted a submission and The Harder They Come was released in July of that year, just in time to celebrate their anniversary. How Kaenar Langford got into Erotic Romance?
When I started to write after the workshop, I thought I was writing a Harlequin Romance. By the second paragraph, I realized that it wasn't going to be anything like that. I'm a very visual person, so the book unfolded in my head. I could see everything happening and wrote it down as it went along. Now I'm so hooked. I love to write m/m/f ménage, male/male and my last book was a male threesome.
The Scoop!
We went to Cleveland in March, so when we got home I started a story that takes place there. It's a male/male story about a guy, Vayle, who gets an unexpected house guest. Daniel is the little brother of Vayle's best friend from high school, but twelve years have made a tremendous difference in the scrawny kid. Vayle is torn. He's so attracted to Daniel, but he can't get past the fact that Daniel is his best friend's baby brother. It's a great story to write.
I'm heading to Kansas City near the end of July to a get-together fellow TEB author, Carol Lynne, is having for authors and readers. It will be amazing.
I'll be at RomantiCon in October. It's the first ever Ellora's Cave convention and will be held in Richfield, Ohio. November will find me at The Everything To Do With Sex Show in Toronto. What Kaenar Langford likes to read...
I love Suzanne Brockmann, Shannon McKenna, Robin Schone, J.R. Ward, Karen Marie Moning, Sherilynn Kenyon. The list is endless. I ride my exercise bike ten miles every day, so I read while I ride. You can read a lot of books doing seventy miles a week. Those women have pedaled across Canada and back with me, I'm sure.
INTERVIEWThe Sensible Questions:- 1.How have your life experiences affected your writing?
- I suppose you could say that my writing is really a lifetime of stored-up fantasies. My life before writing was made up of lesson plans, report cards and schoolwork, so not really anything that would lead to the kind of writing I do. I'd tie the writing to a very vivid imagination.
- 2.Which of your characters is your favourite, and why?
- I love Rayche and Keane in Indulge Me, from the Naughty Nooners anthology that came out in January. They get to spend a whole noon hour having sex at the largest gay spa/bathhouse in Toronto. What's not to love about that?
- 3.What heat level do you enjoy writing most, and why?
- The hotter, the better. I love male/male sex. I love the idea of those gorgeous, strong male bodies writhing and sweating over each other.
- 4.What authors have influenced you most (not necessarily in the romance genre)?
- Angela Knight and Shannon McKenna for sure.
- 5.Which comes to you first when you write, the basic premise of the plot, or the characters?
- Often before the plot has begun to percolate in my brain, it's the setting that has solidified because I've gone somewhere for research and the story shouted at me after that visit or trip or tour.
- 6.What is the biggest lesson that you've learned since you began writing?
- Not every submission will be accepted, but with a great editor, you'll have reams and reams of ideas from them for making the story better and resubmitting. Janice, my TEB editor, is one of those wonderful editors.
- 7.Describe your writing space.
- Our house isn't very big and there are no extra rooms for offices and such, so I have a corner of the living room set up with a wide computer desk. One of my three cats often comes and sprawls out across the desk to keep me company. In January, I won a reviewer's choice award from Catanetwork reviewers and I keep that displayed on my desk for inspiration. The space is always messy, despite my best efforts to keep it neat. I have a big set of head phones nearby to wear when my son watches TV or plays Wii. They are left over from my older son's summer factory job one year and they work really well to block out the noise. I look like some kind of space creature sporting these massive noise-blockers.

The Naughty Questions:
- How many toys do you have in your toy-box? (and we don't mean Barbie dolls!)
- I have a few choice items that I picked up last year at The Everything To Do With Sex Show in Toronto.
- What or who does your ideal man look like?
- Tall, long dark hair, muscular and I must admit that I absolutely love leather on a handsome man.




Are any of the sexy scenes in your books based on real life?That, and a very vivid imagination and a lifetime of fantasies.
What kind of clothing do you like to wear in order to feel sexy?Thigh high stockings, sleeveless dress to show off my tattoo and sexy shoes.
What kind of clothing do you think makes men look sexy?I have a list. Let me go find it. Nothing-as in wearing nothing. Sexy underwear and as I said before, I love a man in leather.
What is the most outrageously naughty thing you've ever done?Spent a morning in the largest gay bathhouse in Toronto.

As a government agent, Naymeen Renaud's mission is to belay Aiden Blackshott's role in treasonous activities. So how does she end up in the wealthy businessman's playroom, tethered for his pleasure?
Captain Naymeen Renaud's current assignment for the United League of Veluvian Planets is to thwart any contact between forces hostile to the League, and wealthy industrialist Aiden C. Blackshott. But she soon finds herself straddling a line between duty and lust. She loves it when Aiden captures and pleasures her in his sex playroom. But she suspects her new lover has ties to her former partner, now a rogue agent, she has sworn to bring in.
Aiden also has a mission, one which threatens to fall apart when Naymeen appears the very evening he will play his final role in his assignment. When he allows her to kidnap him to keep her from upsetting carefully laid plans, she whisks him to her star cruiser and ties him to her bed so she can return the favour. She wants to believe in him, but in the end, is he betraying her just as her comrade did? Read An Excerpt:[Click here to expand/collapse]EXCERPT:Aiden's body grew tight, his cock lengthening at her plea. He was surprised at his ability to form words. "I thought you might be cold, because your nipples are very hard. Why don't I warm them up for you?"
Pursing his lips, he blew on one of the rigid buds. He smiled as Naymeen gasped, then he caught her torso and held her so he could suckle her luscious breast. He toyed with her nipple, first flicking his tongue rapidly over the hard tip then lapping at it. Her other breast beckoned to him, crying out for attention, and he was eager to comply. Cradling both in his large hands, he pushed them together and teased her, moving from one tight peak to the other with his avid mouth. Tongue, lips, sucking, licking, he knew he must be sending her higher and higher.
"Aiden, Aiden," she murmured.
Stepping back, he surveyed the picture before him. Blindfolded, his gorgeous captive stood pinned to the St. Andrew's cross, her delectable breasts glistening. His cock thrust forward, seeking the lush spot between her legs.
"Would you like more?"
"Anything," she cried.
With a tweak of thumbs and forefingers, Aiden pinched both nipples. Double the pleasure, for him and for her. He stopped just short of causing pain, but pulled enough to make her wish he would.
"I forgot to tether your legs," he said, as if he'd only just remembered. Another spurt of cream as her body quivered in anticipation. "Oh, now you like that idea."
Starting under her arms, he ran his hands down her body. But only to her waist. He stopped to pay homage to her firm belly, nibbling the skin, teasing her navel. He dropped to his knee then set the backs of his hands to her inner thighs, pausing first to lick away the rich stream of arousal before skimming them down to her ankles.
"You have to spread your legs so I can put them in the bottom restraints."
His cock felt like an iron bar as she slowly moved her legs apart, exposing her succulent cunt to his gaze. A sharp snick, followed by another as he locked the bands, and her body was completely revealed to him.
A little drop of her nectar slipped to the floor. Before another could follow, Aiden leaned forward to lick her clean. Spreading her labia with his thumbs, he watched the creamy essence ooze from her tiny portal.
Evidence of her arousal.
Eagerly, he slid his tongue into her, lapping her juices, savouring their spice. Pushing past her entry, he pressed into her slick channel, her taste flowing through his body, making him harder, telling him to make her come.
Pulling back, Aiden flicked her clit, knowing by her cry, by the tautness of her swollen flesh, she was so close.
A finger, slipping in and out.
A pull of flesh with tongue and teeth.
A keening sob torn from her throat.
He kept up the relentless torment, feeling her body buck against the restraints, letting her shove that juicy centre harder against his mouth, forcing him to swallow her liquid fire as she came.
Not until the last quiver slipped from her, did Aiden pull back. After releasing the ankle bands first, he rose to his feet and undid the wrist shackles, catching her as she slumped forward. He held her tightly to him, rubbing gentle circles on her back, whispering soft words of reassurance. He'd only been seeking her pleasure.
"That was incredible," she whispered.

Indulge Me by Kaenar Langford.
Meet me at Indulgence. Noon today. I want you naked in the Wet Area.
Keane Daniels has received an anonymous note summoning him to Indulgence, one of the largest gay spa and bathhouses in Toronto. Since he's in unrequited lust with his boss, Keane thinks a clandestine tryst might just take his mind off his gorgeous colleague.
Rayche Marquette has wanted Keane since hiring him, but being his boss means Keane's off limits...until Rayche decides he can wait no longer and reserves the Wet Area of the spa so the two of them can spend a Naughty Nooner together.
Rayche and Keane meet in the elegant shower area, but when Keane discovers the sender of the note is his boss, his reaction is not what Rayche expects. Keane rebuffs him, thinking the lunch hour adventure is a lark for Rayche, a meaningless liaison. For Keane, that can never be enough with this man. How can he convince Rayche to turn their Naughty Nooner into a lifetime commitment? Read An Excerpt:[Click here to expand/collapse]EXCERPT:Minutes passed before either of them moved. Keane moaned as Rayche withdrew. A moan for the pleasure of the withdrawal, but a moan for the loss of the connection as well.
As Rayche pulled him upright and turned him in his arms, Keane grabbed his head and pulled him down for a passionate kiss. The hard fuck had barely taken the edge off his hunger for this man. He bit at Rayche's lower lip, tugging it into his mouth, running his tongue along it. Then he drew back, gently pulling, slowly releasing it from between his teeth. He slid his tongue into Rayche's mouth, slicking it back and forth over the sensitive palate.
"I don't think I could ever get enough of you," he said moments later.
Rayche laughed as he broke away and disposed of the condom in the small garbage can. "That's good, because I have other plans for you."
Keane looked on as Rayche pulled one of the handles on the wall and waited for the water to turn hot. "Would you like some help there?" he asked playfully, reaching out to stroke his lover's arm.
It was a very naughty grin that Rayche flashed back. "Actually, I'm going to shower and wait for you in the steam room."
"Why don't I stand here and watch?" Keane was more than happy to take the role of observer as Rayche moved under the powerful stream. Turning his back to the wall, he leaned against it, crossed his arms and bent one leg so the foot pressed flat on its glossy tiles. The water slicked back Rayche's dark hair and poured down his golden torso, over his spent cock and down his muscular legs. As Rayche soaped his hands, the steam gathering around him, Keane's cock stirred to life. Despite the uncertainty of their relationship, he still wanted this man with a vengeance.
Rayche lathered the foam over his chest and Keane's foot came down and the other took its place. When Rayche took his own cock in hand and caressed it, Keane's hands fell to his sides, clenched into fists.
Maybe I can't just stand and watch, he thought. Maybe I don't want to. Reaching along the wall beside his head, he pulled the lever on the dispenser and let the soap spiral onto his fingers. Rayche's eyes were closed as he palmed his cock, his hands slipping along the now hard length and around the plump head. Keane called to him and, when he opened his eyes, Keane took a more solid stance, grasped his own hard-on and tugged it out and away from his body. Rayche's face reflected the hunger Keane felt.
Rayche spread his legs, his soapy hands taking a path in between to wash his balls. Keane's eyes followed, watching as Rayche massaged the heavy sac with his lathered fingers, using first one hand and then the other to cover it in soapy foam. Making more suds, he gave his back to Keane and slid his fingers down his crease, paying special attention to his arsehole.
Looking over his shoulder, he said, "Want to make sure it's nice and clean in case you want to put your tongue there."
Keane bounced his cock gently against his palm and held it up for Rayche's inspection. "That's not the only thing I'm going to be putting there."
As Rayche rinsed off and moved to grab a towel from a hook on the wall, Keane took his place under the spray and hurriedly soaped his body and let the warm water cleanse it. Rayche held out another towel and he grabbed it.
"I'm going to head into the steam room. Why don't you just take your time getting dried off?" Rayche said, running his fingers down Keane's cheek.
Keane snorted, a rather inelegant sound. "You mean take my time so you can watch me. No problem." He took note of Rayche's gorgeous backside as the man strode across the floor, pulled open the steam room door and disappeared into the mist. That sultry smell hit Keane's nostrils as the door swung shut. Now it made him think of hot sex with Rayche. The Harder They Come - Genre: Contemporary

Older woman + younger man = off limits. Maybe so, but the ache between Ellaina's thighs and the longing in her heart make it more and more difficult to say no, especially when Luke wants to do things to her, like turn her into a chocolate sundae.
Ellaina McReynold's quiet existence is turned upside down by the arrival of a younger man. Luke Mason has only been in Spring Ridge a short time, but his daily visits to her café have inspired way too many erotic fantasies for her own good. Although her brain knows he's ten years younger, someone needs to tell that to her traitorous body!
Luke, who has pursued her gently but persistently, is delighted when she finally agrees to spend the day with him. But her lover is not really who he seems to be. When Ellaina unexpectedly finds out the truth, can she put aside her doubts and follow her heart? Luke certainly hopes so. What the reviewers are saying"Hot hero, hotter romance, and a little misunderstanding/white lie to make things interesting. Definitely recommended." - Simply Romance Reviews
"Ms. Langford has created a very erotic and clever story about one man finding the love of his life in the most unexpected place." - Fallen Angel Reviews Read An Excerpt:[Click here to expand/collapse]EXCERPT:Ellaina began to quiver the moment she heard the roar of the powerful engine. Over the past few weeks, the crowd of noontime regulars at the Starlight Café had gotten used to the sound of the bike as the rider pulled up to the kerb to come in for his daily lunch. Everyone else went about their business, seeing nothing out of the ordinary. As if their world wasn't going to tilt the moment he walked through the wooden screen door. As if their heart wasn't going to speed up and threaten to beat right out of their chest when he strode to the counter. As if that little spurt of cream wasn't going to make them wet and slippery when he opened his mouth to speak.
Too bad that isn't me.
She tried to straighten the cutlery in the baskets, but her hands were shaking too badly. Nell and Jade were busy with the lunchtime rush, so she would have to look after him. She wanted to, but she didn't want to.
How can I serve him and not let him see how he affects me? How can I talk to him and not stammer as I stare into his gorgeous eyes? Why haven't I told Nell I'll take the tables for a change? That would have just made her wonder what was wrong. Nell was the one who loved to charm the customers. Plus lunch hour was when she made money in tips. Jade was busy clearing and resetting the tables, getting ready for the next rush of people. There would be no help from her either.
Ellaina could see him through the plate glass window, all six-foot-plus of him, as he swung his leg over the motorcycle and reached up to remove his helmet. He always turned around and looked at the old clock on the town hall tower across the street, as if to give her a better view of his spectacular ass in those worn jeans.
The act was superfluous. That vision was etched in her brain, but she relished the ritual nonetheless. She held her breath just like every other day, spellbound, as he lifted his arms and took off his helmet, all that thick, dark hair falling around his shoulders, down his back.
True to form, he set the helmet on the seat and, pivoting, grabbed the tab of the zipper of his black leather jacket. She felt the telltale wetness between her legs as he tugged it down, revealing his chest bit by bit. For God's sake, it was only a white T-shirt underneath, but he might as well have been naked for the effect it had on her. It hugged his torso and made her want to kneel before him and lick around his navel. But only after she'd had a chance to yank the shirt out of those jeans and bite his belly.
Looking down, she pretended to wipe the counter, waiting for the bells to ring the moment he pushed open the screen door. She knew what Pavlov's dogs must have felt like, for the instant she heard that little carillon, she grew liquid between her legs and was already on the verge of coming.
And he hadn't even spoken to her yet.
"Hello, Ellaina," he said in that rough voice that made her want to shove everything off the counter so he could take her right then and there.
But she didn't.
