Blurb:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Simon has developed feelings for the girl who bedeviled him growing up, his best friend's sister--not that Alys is a girl any longer. She's a grown-up, beautiful, wonderful woman who makes him crazy. He obtains her brother's permission to ask her out. And is rejected. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Alys is innocent and plans to stay that way until she meets a man who holds the same moral code, regardless of her lengthy crush on Simon. Privy to his escapades and conquests, her jealousy has turned to distaste ans she sets herself on a different path. She wants a man who has refrained from meaningless affairs, who has waited for the special woman. And that's not Simon!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Simon does the research but Google assures him he can't become re-virginized and thus Alys is beyond his reach--until one day when he takes her, as a friend, for lunch in his beloved truck. That day, love changes everything.</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 200%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Excerpt</b>:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
“Sorry.” Alys’s response was short but succinct.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
Simon waited, but she wasn’t forthcoming with any
excuses. “You’re … you’re saying no?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
A quick blink, a sweep of thick, dark lashes before
those impossibly golden eyes widened. “I guess I should have said <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">no</i>. But I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">am</i> sorry.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
It was insane, but he wanted to continue the
conversation, even figuring he’d regret it. “Why are you sorry?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
A faint tinge of pink colored her cheekbones and a
couple of little white teeth worried a corner of her full bottom lip. “I get
asked out a lot. And I know it can’t be easy to get turned down.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
Her reply should have reeked of feminine arrogance, yet
it didn’t. If anything, it was considered and thoughtful, and despite the
twinge of her <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">rejection,</span> he found himself
admiring her for it. But wasn’t that Alys? Kind. Caring. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
A hint of surprise followed, confusing him. It didn’t
make a lot of <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">sense</span> when he dwelled on
it—rarely was he turned down and when it happened, it didn’t bother him. This
was different, and a twofer. Huh.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
Telling himself it didn’t matter did not stop him from
pursuing it like a juvenile trout after a cleverly crafted, manmade fly. “Is
there a reason you <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">won’t go out with me</span>?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
Another blink, accompanied by her tucking a strand of
silky red-gold hair behind her ear betrayed what he thought was a bit of
nervousness, and he thought to back down. Aside from his intense need to have
her, Alys brought out some weird emotions in him, ones he might catalog as
protectiveness—even possessiveness—and that wasn’t him. Better he let those
sleeping dogs lie. He was crazy <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">about</span> her
but <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">clearly,</span> the sentiment wasn’t
returned. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
“Never mind. Forget I asked.” Even to his ears he
sounded peevish and decided to add petulant to his rapidly increasing scope of
emotions. Time to get gone. He was back to fleeing from her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
She said, “I don’t date men who’ve … been around.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Mia Harrington has had a difficult time of
it lately—her father’s illness and subsequent death, then finding out she must
get married if she is to inherit what’s rightfully hers. Fortunately, she’s
tough and resourceful, and has emerged relatively unscathed from this period,
as well as finding herself a suitable husband.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

relationship with his best friend, Doctor Alex Cartwright, and is in love with
her gardener, Thomas Walker. Add to that broken dates, flashy proposals, a sexy
Asian tech billionaire, and a nosey housekeeper, and you’ve got a situation
hectic enough to drive even the most capable person to distraction. Can Mia
juggle her men, her job, and the wedding arrangements, or is her happily ever
after over before it has even begun?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Mia
locked up and put the key in her bag, then took Elias’s arm. They walked down the
steps and out into the chilly January night to the waiting black cab.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“I’m
afraid,” Elias said, once they were settled into the back of the car, “Alex
isn’t coming.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“What
do you mean, he’s not coming?” she squeaked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Elias
looked apologetic, but gave a one-shouldered shrug. “There was an emergency at
the hospital—as their nearest surgeon, he got called in. Couldn’t very well say
no, could he?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Mia
shook her head and sagged back into the seat, her heart sinking to her stomach.
“No, of course not. I’m very sorry he won’t be joining us, but although we’re
scintillating company, we don’t count as a life or death situation.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">He
reached out and squeezed her hand, then kept hold of it. “No, we certainly do
not. I hope, though, that I’ll be entertainment enough for you by myself this
evening.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">She
squeezed his hand back, then leaned over and kissed his cheek, pulling in the
scent of his delicious cologne at the same time. “I’m sure you will. Besides,
this was part of what you two meant when you were talking about being able to
give a woman the attention she deserves <i>between
you, </i>wasn’t it? Alex unfortunately can’t make it, but because I’m dating—or
whatever the hell we’re calling this—both of you, it means I’m not left high
and dry. I’m sure at some point <i>you’ll </i>be
the one who has to cancel. These things happen.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">With
a smile, Elias said, “They sure do. Though I don’t really get emergencies at
work—and if I do, they’re all about which person gets to line their pockets the
most, rather than saving lives. But enough of that!” he added brightly, clearly
eager to change the sore subject of his chosen career. Though she still didn’t
understand why he was so embarrassed about it. And if he hated it so much, why
was he still doing it? She wasn’t going to broach that particular topic,
though, not tonight. She already had one potentially hairy subject to discuss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

then how could she, now? How could she talk about the situation with Thomas
without Alex present? She stifled a sigh. <i>Fuck
it. Looks like it’s going to have to wait.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“So,”
she said, “where are we going?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“You’ll
have to wait and see,” he replied with a smirk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">She
jabbed him in the ribs. “Seriously?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Yes,
seriously. Patience, woman! We’ll be there in…” he peered out of the window,
presumably to check where they were, “in less than ten minutes, traffic
permitting.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Hmph.”
She folded her arms and pouted. “Guess I’ll just have to wait, then.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Don’t
sulk.” Elias tapped the end of her nose. “We haven’t seen each other in a
little while, so I want smiles and laughter, not pouting. Even though I know
you’re faking it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">She
gasped. “I <i>never </i>fake it!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“I
should hope not,” he shot back, his grin turning wicked. “My future wife
deserves nothing but the best, and that includes orgasms. Real ones.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Her
tummy flip-flopped. Bloody hell, she’d almost forgotten about that. She’d been
so focussed on working up to telling Elias and Alex they weren’t the only two
men to be sharing her that there hadn’t been much capacity left for thinking
about her impending wedding. But then, technically speaking, she wasn’t engaged
yet. They’d discussed it and informally agreed to it, but there’d been no
proposal, no acceptance, no ring.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There
was plenty of time left for all that, though. If she and Elias had to grab a
couple of witnesses and go to a registry office at the last minute, it would
still count—her father hadn’t specified a type of ceremony, thankfully. But
that wasn’t how she wanted to do things, and she suspected Elias wouldn’t be
too keen on that idea, either.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Ooh,
your future wife, am I?” she teased, figuring that since the topic of Thomas
was off the table, she might as well put the topic of their engagement <i>on </i>the table, instead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Elias
frowned. “Of course you are. I know we haven’t sorted a ring yet, but we still
know we’re engaged…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">She
shrugged, hoping it appeared more nonchalant to him than she actually felt.
“Well, not exactly. We never made it official, did we? More of a loose verbal
agreement.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Elias
groaned and screwed up his nose. “When you put it like that, it sounds bloody
awful. I know to all intents and purposes it’s a practical arrangement, but I
want it to be much more than that, Mia.” He cupped her cheek and brushed his
thumb over her skin. “I’ve missed you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Warmth
bloomed where he touched her, and radiated across her entire face and down her
neck. She smiled and placed her hand over his. “I want it to be more, too. And
I’ve missed you, as well. It’s been a long month, hasn’t it?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Ever do something really, really dumb?<br />
When too much tequila and an enabling BFF put Lily Nayar's romance novel <em>Feast of Lovers</em> into the hands of its inspiration, sexy British actor Tom Morrison, Lily is horrified. Now she's determined to get her book back, even if that means breaking into Tom's hotel room to do it.<br />
With the help of a strategic lie and a charismatic knight, Lily's screwball plan catapults her into the middle of her very own Cinderella story, Hollywood style. But will a vengeful actress ruin Lily's shot at a real life HEA with Tom?<br />

<span style="color: #003366;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="excerpt" style="color: #003366;"></a> <strong>Excerpt</strong></span></h3>
Giving Theresa a thumbs up, I closed the door and turned my attention to the hotel room. It had already been cleaned and the bed was neatly made. A suitcase sat on the valet stand next to the TV, and the dresser and desk held various pieces of paper, notes, and a couple of plastic shopping bags, all the usual stuff when you’re stuck in a hotel room for a couple of weeks.<br />
Of course, the fangirl part of my brain was screeching like a gibbon at me that I was in Tom Morrison’s hotel room. He’d slept in that very bed last night. Sat at that desk to check his email and Facebook. Took a dump behind the closed door of what I assumed was the bathroom. The prosaic nature of that last bit helped me regain some self-control, and I tiptoed (why, I don’t know, I’m an idiot) over to the desk. There was what looked like a script for <em>GearShifter</em> on it, as well as a MacBook Pro, but no <em>Feast of Lovers</em>. Bad Tom, no leaving your expensive computer equipment out where people can steal it.<br />
I wanted to leaf through the script so badly, but I ignored it and kept looking for <em>Feast</em>. Not on the desk top, not on the dresser, not on the TV. I was starting to worry that he’d taken it with him to the location when I noticed the suitcase. I truly, honestly hated the idea of going through his personal stuff, but he might have stuck it in there. I could just lift the lid, take a peek, maybe it was in plain sight—<br />
I had the lid in hand when the bathroom door swung open and a tall, beautiful blonde in a towel strutted out. “I thought I heard you—” she purred, before she saw me. Both face and tone iced over. “Who the hell are you?”<br />
I let out a noise that could have been used as a sound effect for a creaking vault door. The blonde stalked closer, looming over me. Up close, I could see some fine lines around her eyes, but she was still ridiculously gorgeous. “What are you doing here?” she snapped.<br />
Oh. Oh, <em>shit</em>. My brain informed me that I was currently sharing a room with Claudine Ellery, the actress playing Tom’s antagonist/love interest on the show. What the hell was she doing in his bathroom? Were they dating in real life? Why was I asking stupid questions when I should be turning and running for my freaking life?<br />
And then Fate decided that she needed an even bigger chuckle because the room door opened and Tom Morrison walked in. I caught a glimpse of an apologetic Theresa hovering in the hallway before she was eclipsed by Tom, who was staring at Claudine and me.<br />
Oh, God. He was even better looking in person. Not all actors are, but Tom—he was <em>edible</em>. Curly black hair, eyes the color of dark chocolate, and lips that I’d wanted to kiss since the first time I saw him on screen. With faded jeans that fit him perfectly, a dusty white button-down with rolled up sleeves, just the right amount of chest hair peeping out of his collar, and the cutest smudge of dust across one laser-sharp cheekbone, he was every one of my fantasies come to warm, tall life right in front of me.<br />
And I had broken into his hotel room.<br />
That was it. I was going to jail, assuming that the cops didn’t just see “brown person” and shoot me when they got here. At the very least I’d get fired from Golden State. Mom and Dad would disown me, Dada and Dadi would die of shame, and Derek would probably take out an ad in the <em>LA Times</em> saying that I was adopted. My only hope was that Theresa had gotten the hell out of here. There was no reason for both of us to go down for my stupidity—<br />
“Lilian, darling, what are you doing here?”<br />
My brain skidded to a halt. Words had come out of Tom Morrison’s mouth. <em>Friendly</em> words. While he was staring directly at me. Looking, if I may say so, as if he was talking to someone he knew. Which he didn’t, because I may not have remembered sending him my book but I would definitely remember meeting him.<br />
“Um. Hi?” I waved weakly.<br />
“I thought you decided not to come out this weekend.” He crossed to me, slipping an arm around my shoulders as he stared at Claudine. He squeezed my shoulder once, kind of hard, then did it again.<br />
Even with my brain in fangirl vapor lock I can take a hint. I had no idea how he knew who I was, but he wanted me to play along. Plastering a grin on my face, I slipped my arm around his waist and squeezed back. His torso felt like warm rock, and he smelled <em>so</em> good.<br />
“Well, I figured I needed a road trip,” I extemporized, giving him a bright smile. “And I didn’t think you’d mind.”<br />
“Not at all, angel,” he purred. Up close, I could see a hint of relief in his eyes. It disappeared as he turned to Claudine. “Claud, why are you in my room wearing a towel?” he asked politely.<br />
She planted hands on slim hips, cocking her head to the side. “Seriously? You have to ask why?”<br />
“Yes, because if I remember correctly, I told you that I had no interest in going to bed with you. In fact, I’m quite sure I informed you of this on numerous occasions. And when I walk into my hotel room and see you wearing nothing but terrycloth while my girlfriend,” this time his squeeze was gentle, “is standing there looking gobsmacked, I have to wonder what the actual fuck you’re up to.”<br />
<br />
My face went rigid as it tried to hold onto my smile. <em>Girlfriend?</em> <em>Eeeeeeeee…</em><br />

<span style="color: #003366;"><strong>About the Author</strong></span></h3>
Nicola Cameron is an expatriate Chicagoan who has lived in England, Canada, Holland, and Sweden, and keeps a confusing amalgamation of languages in her head as a result. Currently located in the clavicle of Texas, she has finally mastered the proper use of "y'all," much to her Chicago family's dismay.<br />
Despite a healthy interest in romance and sex since puberty, it wasn't until 2012 that Nicola decided to try writing about it. As it turned out, the skills she picked up during her SF writing career transferred rather nicely to speculative romance. When not writing, she wrangles cats, smooches her husband, makes dolls of dubious and questionable identity, and thanks almighty Cthulhu that she doesn’t have to work for a major telecommunications company any more (because there’s BDSM, and then there’s just plain torture...).<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Feeling trapped into marriage, Beckett Kilmer doesn’t hide
his disdain for his young wife, although he certainly wants her physically. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Grace didn’t deliberately trap the man she loves, but
ignorance is no defense, neither in a court of law nor the law according to
Beckett. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When she loses their baby, he is kind and supportive but
remains distant. Grace despairs, also trapped—but by the skeins of love that
bind her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mysteriously finding herself capable of resisting him, she
plans to assert her independence when Beckett comes to his senses, recognizing
his reprehensible behavior. He strives to make amends and convince Grace to
reconsider.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Still determined to leave, she then finds out she is
pregnant again and Beckett redoubles his efforts to repair their relationship.
Can Grace find it within herself to forgive and trust him again? <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
Beckett’s big form blanketed her far smaller one as he
increased his thrusts, driving her toward that cliff of mindless insensibility
her orgasms always conferred. He braced his weight on his forearms, head tucked
into her throat, lips tight against the sensitive juncture of neck and
shoulder. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
He’d slipped into bed, naked and urgently erect,
stripping off her nightgown with a muttered imprecation before bestowing a hard
kiss that caused her to open to him, his mastery of her senses chasing away the
last vestiges of sleep. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
Her body instantly responded, the flush of arousal
dampening her core, nipples tightening with desire as his big hands cupped and
molded her breasts. There was no need for additional foreplay although he
tested her readiness with a finger before settling between her thighs and
entering her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
It was a vastly familiar, nightly routine, one she
desperately anticipated—to her shame—and their coupling tonight should have <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">culminated</span> the same way. With a climax, the
sensation giving her the connection she craved, however <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">fleeting,</span> because that was all Beckett would give her.<br />

<strong>BLURB:</strong>
Her secret tore them apart.
Naida Bouche foolishly thought she could live as if she was only human. Her true nature hung over her like a thunderhead, driving a wedge between her and her husband.
Cooper Martin had no idea why his ex-wife divorced him. He'd treated her like a goddess. And they had no problems in the intimacy department.
Fate brings them together again. Old emotions flare to life. Can Naida see beyond her self-perceived faults and allow the flames to reignite the love she and Coop feel for one another?<br />

<br />
<strong>EXCERPT:</strong>
Water cascaded off her nude body. Small rivulets ran over her breasts and down her slightly rounded stomach, disappearing into the surface of the lake.
She was one with the water.
She could, literally, become one with it.
Moonlight reflected off the mirror-smooth surface, adding a soft glow to the night.
Crickets serenaded her with their chirping song. The cicadas added their buzzing to the symphony. There were a lot of cicadas, hence the name of the lake. A wolf howled in the distance. Nature cocooned her.
She grinned and dove under. Liquid embraced her, still heated by the sun’s rays from earlier in the day. Her body became insubstantial, fragmenting into molecules of H2O. Disorientation left her bewildered, but the feeling came and went. Weightless warmth enveloped her, and the ebb and flow of the tide lulled her into blissful relaxation.
The moon slid across the sky. Hours had passed. Her body became corporeal with a single thought. After regaining her human form, she cut through the water with powerful strokes and rose to the surface in a rush of bubbles.
The night air chilled her damp skin, raising goose pimples along her flesh. She pushed the long fall of hair from her face and glanced into the deep, lush woods that ringed the lake. Soon the leaves would change to shades of gold, orange, red, and brown. In would come the autumnal chill. Her time in the waters would decrease, and then winter would set in and freeze her out.
When that happened, she’d resort to the swimming pool located on the basement level of her large home. Even with the greenery she had sprinkled about, it never fully replaced the exhilaration of the lake, the feel of fresh air against her skin, and the scent of the wilderness.
She repeated the cycle, year after year. The monotony had long since worn short on her nerves.
She had someone in her life, someone to break the monotony.
More accurately, she would only have him until the end of the day.
Tonight would be the last night they would be together. She’d tell him that they were over and done with. The sad part of the whole shitty deal was she couldn’t really give him a reason why.
How could he understand? Hell, she’d have trouble believing the truth, if it wasn’t her life.
The root of their problems were otherworldly, as her father was human and her mother was a water nymph.
The nymph side of her heritage presented two problems. First, she needed daily contact with water. The more the better. Like her pool in the basement. Second, she also needed sex … a lot. Preferably once or twice a day. After all, the term “nymphomaniac” had been born of a nymph’s sex drive.
They had a lot of sex, but there were times when their hectic lives interfered with his libido. He was human and his sex drive was human.
She couldn’t guess how he’d react if she said, “I’m a nympho which means we have to have sex all the time. Day and night. Over and over and over.”
He wouldn’t understand it and she’d allowed it to build a wall between them.
No, he had never known the truth of her desires.
She had pushed him away, afraid of exposing her real self.
And that fear, that uncertainty, would leave her alone … and needy.

J.R. Gray can be found at the gym where it's half assumed he is a permanent
resident to fulfill his self-inflicted masochism. A dominant and a pilot, Gray
finds it hard to be in the passenger seat of any car. He frequently interrupts
real life, including normal sleep patterns and conversations, to jot down notes
or plot bunnies. Commas are the bane of his existence even though it's been
fully acknowledged they are necessary, they continue to baffle and bewilder. If
Gray wasn't writing…well, that's not possible. The buildup of untold stories
would haunt Gray into an early grave, insanity or both. The idea of haunting
has always appealed to him. J.R. Gray is genderqueer and prefers he/him
pronouns.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Hello, and thank you so much for having me
here today to talk about my new release, Spice & Vanilla. This is the
darker, naughtier sister of my previous release, Woman as a Foreign Language,
but it can be read as a complete stand alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The BDSM element in Spice and Vanilla came
about in part because I had just finished reading Katerina Ross’ beautiful
novel Tenderly Wicked, so I was in the mood for something a bit spicier than my
previous release, and partly because I had this idea for Raphael, the main
character, that he would be “in two minds about anything”. He’s gender-fluid,
bisexual, and as it turns out, a switch (he is in fact the sort of character
that can piss off absolutely every reader on earth, lol). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">I always like sex scenes to carry some of the
character building in my stories. I think sex is one of the most visceral
things we do in life, and the way we have sex with different people and
different sex with the same people at different times can say a lot about us,
about our feelings for our partners and where we are in a relationship. You can
put so much more than smut in a sex scene (although a good amount of smut is
most welcome), and when you stray into BDSM that potential for character
exploration rises tenfold, because there are so many more layers to it. Why do
we feel the need, in a caring, loving relationship, for giving or receiving
pain? Why do power and humiliation become a turn on, even a necessity, at
certain times? And can these things add more to our relationships than just a
passing kinky thrill? Can they possibly become a way to express feelings we
don’t have words for? I do not pretend to have full answers to these questions,
but I did enjoy searching for them in the company of such complex characters as
Raphael and Hugh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Time was, when Di could dance all night. Time
was, when she could ride any horse in the stable. Time was when she had a
fiancée, a future and a home she loved. Until a silver SUV came out of nowhere
and broke her life in half.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Well concealed under a sarcastic, spiny hide,
Hugh has a darkly romantic, passionate soul. Torn between love and terror, he’s
held the talented, elegant, magnetic Raphael carefully at arm’s length since
the day they met.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Male or female, men or women, kinky or sweet,
top or bottom? Angel or devil? Raphael’s life is a string of unanswered
questions. And Lucie, his long-hidden female self, may bring it all together or
destroy everything he has.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Hugh watched him stroking away with great
contentment. He was totally worn out after a crazy day at work, and it was not
always easy to find the energy to satisfy such an enthusiastic masochist. There
were days when he wished Raphael were a bit less fond of being spanked and
whipped, but he always did his best to oblige him. The thought of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">his</i> Raphael going out there looking for
release from God-only-knows-whom, and getting hurt for real by some less
scrupulous or talented Dom was just unbearable. Still, tonight he would lie
back and relax. Mostly. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I will have to
help him eventually</i>, he thought with a slightly evil grin, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">but I can take a breather first</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Raphael stroked in perfect tempo. He was one
of the most technically exact musicians Hugh had ever played with, after all.
Too exact, in fact. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">It would do him so much good to let go a bit, to just go with the
flow, be wild and imprecise and purely passionate. Then he would not need so much
of </span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">this<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Tick—tock—tick—tock—tick—tock, went the
metronome, and Raphael stroked and stroked. It was a good while before Hugh
could tell, from a small furrow between those blond eyebrows, that the
unchanging, slow rhythm was beginning to frustrate him. He smiled a bit wider
and said nothing, devouring his beautiful quarry with his eyes. He watched,
entranced the fluid play of flesh and skin as Raphael’s long pale cock, a nice
ruddy purple by now, sank and reemerged into and from his fist, the velvet-like
foreskin lapping beautifully over the shinier, silky glans, the testicles
bouncing softly to the rhythm as the scrotum was pulled up and released. It was
hard to resist the temptation to throw the whole scene to the devil and just
take that cock in his mouth and suck it empty. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">This is without exception the best use a metronome was ever put to.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Raphael’s body was developing a number of
small, charming tics and twitches. He briefly lifted his left knee from the
mattress then relaxed again. His right wrist was pulling on the strap from time
to time, and his breath was coming in slightly ragged bursts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Still it took a long time. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Too much control</i>, thought Hugh, smiling.
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tsk-tsk.</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Tick—tock—tick—tock.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">He slowly unfolded his hands and moved to sit
between Raphael’s legs. He spit on his middle finger and watched Raphael’s
face, half hopeful, half anxious, as he slowly approached his anus. He didn’t
hurry. He let Raphael wait for it. He would beg, in time, Hugh knew, but there
was no need for that, not yet. He finally pressed his fingertip to the
twitching, tight, live rose of flesh and felt it jolt and spasm. He massaged it
in circles, with relish, and didn’t even try to penetrate it. Raphael was
shaking all over, trying to press down on his finger, but there was just so far
he could stretch, tied as he was. His belly muscles went taut. They were
contracting in random, jerky convulsions. Hugh had never seen anything so
beautiful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Then Raphael missed a beat. His hand had
picked up pace, ignoring all orders. Raphael whimpered, trying to compensate to
get back in the right tempo. The double change of pace made him squirm all
over. He swallowed twice and missed the beat again. This time Hugh slapped the
inside of his thigh, very hard. Raphael could take a long regular series of
well-spaced blows with relative ease, but a single hard slap coming down out of
the blue like that drew a ragged cry from him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">“You do know what tempo means, I asked?” Hugh
said, in a plain chatty voice. He had never had any taste whatsoever for
histrionics. He was not, he had never been, a theatrical Dom. He wasn’t in it
for setting up a show. He just got the job done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">“Yes. Yes!” said Raphael, a bit frantic. He
managed to stick to the rhythm for a minute longer, until Hugh gently stuck his
finger just within the ring of his anus. All of Raphael’s body twisted, and he
lost all track of the cold, mechanical rhythm of the metronome. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">And that is exactly what you need, my love . Too much playing by the
rules, too much fucking control. You need to find your own tempo, and just let
go. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Five or six fast hard strokes followed. Hugh
slapped him twice, on his thigh, and, when he turned suddenly, on his butt. And
then Raphael came, on the third slap, as he flopped flat on his back again,
crying out in pleasure or pain, or both. It was hard to tell. Semen spurted out
in beautiful, long, arched white streamers, splattering over Raphael’s belly,
chest, and even his face. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">It is difficult to aim while being spanked
hard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Hugh watched him coming, avidly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">He was so naked. So vulnerable, so unguarded.
Hugh, who felt, every day, that he might shatter like glass, on Raphael’s
unearthly, impossibly graceful, self-possessed beauty, lived for these moments,
to watch him released of all self-consciousness and all bonds. Strange, how it
took a bunch of leather straps to get him to do that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">“Ah, oh, shit. That hurt,” Raphael whispered
after a minute. “Not complaining, mind,” he added, with a small edgy laugh,
wiping some drops of sperm from his lips and eyebrow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">“Good,” said Hugh, quite composed, despite the
erection straining in his pants. Watching Raphael twitching and jolting while
covered in glistening semen was not a sight to leave him unmoved. He reached
out for the metronome, stopped it and lowered the weight a tad, then started it
again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">This was a faster, business-like tempo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">“There you go, hot lips,” he said to Raphael,
who was still breathing hard from his orgasm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">“What? Wh—but…” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Hugh gave him a small devilish smile. Raphael
was perfectly capable of coming two or three times in one night, but, like most
men, he needed a while to recuperate in between. Well, tonight, he wasn’t
getting it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">“You didn’t think it would be that easy, did
you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I got the idea for this story after watching a video of French “globe cooker” Fred Chesneau visiting nomads in the Moroccan desert. They generously shared their food, home, and wisdom with a stranger, and I thought it would be cool to write about a female rally driver having the same experience.
A Thorned Rose in the Sand is set in the beautiful, quiet dunes of western Sahara where the sun is so hot you can’t walk barefooted and you could go miles and miles without seeing a single soul. In this story, you’ll meet a badass 450cc rally motorcycle, an opiniated but gentle dromedary, and two highly strong-willed young persons from opposite sides of the planet who get off to a bad start then can’t keep their hands off each other 😊<br />

<em>When life in a big U.S. city becomes too much, Stevie Jones decides to live her wildest dream – compete against the tough guys in a motorcycle rally across Morocco. But the real excitement is found away from the race track, in the shifting sands of the desert.</em>
<em>After his studies in London, Ragab has returned to the nomadic lifestyle of his Bedouin family and the majestic silence of the Sahara. He dreams of the perfect wife, until a beautiful but feisty biker stuck in a sand dune turns his quiet world upside down.</em>

Excerpt</h2>
The girl screamed behind him. <em>“Eeeeee!”</em>
Too hard to resist. Until now, Ragab had had a difficult time respecting her privacy, but surely, a scream called for attention. What kind of a gentleman would he be if he didn’t check on a woman in distress?
He spun and found her kneeling on her jacket, nude and wet, arms outstretched in shock. He bit down a laugh. Yes, the deep well water was cold, but one got used to it, and in the extreme heat of the desert, it was a blessing.
She turned, caught him staring, and even though he couldn’t see anything inappropriate, she hurried to cover her breasts and pubic area. “Look away!” she shouted, voice panicky.
The laugh bubbled inside him, but he obediently turned back to the motorcycle—then stood in such a way he could see her reflection in one of the side mirrors.
Oh, it was like watching a porn scene. Her long, red curls hung wild over her back and round, white butt cheeks. Every time she moved, a portion of her breasts appeared in the space between her ribs and arms. Such perfect feminine curves, all over. Imagine if he saw the front…
Blood rushed to his groin. Stiffening, bothered, he tore from the sight, walked over to the well, and leaned against its waist-high wall, hoping the hardness of the bricks and coolness from the water below would temper his arousal before it became a full-blown erection.
So silent…
He strained to hear.
Splashes. Muffled squeals. More splashes.
He turned slowly and stole a glance from the corner of his eye.
She washed her panties and black top in the bucket and leaned forward to spread them in the sun. Her position exposed the dark pink lips of her sex, from the tiny hole in her butt to the end of her slit, where her clitoris hid.
<em>Ooh! </em>
Shocked to his core, he turned back and groaned low, his cock hardening again.
He closed his eyes, drew long, slow breaths to calm the painful throbbing and counted minutes, trying to think of something else.
His dromedary, for example. It would be cool to show her how to ride it. What if he rode another one, and they both galloped on the dunes together, she laughing, ecstatic…
Then they’d roll in the sand, and he would tease her thighs apart and slide his hungry hardness into her dark pink lips, to the wet bottom of her. Oh, yes.
She called, “Ready?”
He risked a glance in her direction.
Wearing one of his sisters’ dresses and looking divine with her red curls floating behind her—and her face white and clean—she strolled to the motorcycle, carrying a bag and her clothes. She stuffed everything on top of the fuel tanks, got up, lifted the dress to her knees, and started the motor.
Not once looking at him.

something, Angelica. I’ve never forgotten about you. As a boy, I remembered
having feelings for you that were more than friendship, not that I could have
said what they were. But seeing you now, I know it was the real thing. I loved
you then and I still do now. I was really the one who pushed for this trip, not
Serapis. I thought, if we came here, I might be lucky enough to find you. And I
was, though in a completely unexpected way.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

breath and looked up at him. “I never married because of you, you know.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

overwhelming surge of love that consumed him. It was twice now what it had been
before because of all the longing he’d stored up for her over the past century.
It was a tidal wave of emotion. He drew her into his arms and kissed her soft
lips, felt her full breasts press against his chest, again memorizing the
precious feel of her and the sensation of her lips against his. Unexpectedly,
she parted her lips for him and their tongues slid against each other. Ah, she
tasted so wonderful…delicious…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

backside, warmth surrounding her as his arms circled her torso. Large hands
easily palmed her breasts, his fingers teasing her nipples while his growing
erection pressed into her lower back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">A whimper involuntarily escaped her mouth
as her breasts were suddenly tender, her sex clenching at the mere thought of
the man she envisioned performing deliciously dirty deeds. AJ caressed one
breast then the other as her hand roamed her own body. She moved down her toned
abdomen to the neatly trimmed curls between her thighs, pressing into her folds
to finger her clit. Moisture easily coated her digits and tentative flicks soon
gave way to furious rubbing as her movements became faster and harder. She
moaned at the euphoric feeling starting to sweep through her—something she had
rarely ever felt with Brad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">AJ quickly shut down those thoughts and
instead concentrated on bringing herself to orgasm. It’d been too long since
her body felt this way. She trembled as her fingers swirled across her flesh,
her pussy becoming engorged. What she wouldn’t give for a hot, thick cock
filling her, pounding into her. She couldn’t even mimic that action due to the
fact she didn’t own a vibrator.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">“What woman in this day and age doesn’t
own a vibrator?” Jen had asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">AJ began to rethink that decision
immediately. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">As her legs weakened, she braced a hand
against the shower wall while she continued to stroke herself. So close. She
could feel her insides tightening, and her hips began to thrust back and forth
as she raced to the finish line. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">She couldn’t help the cry that shattered
the silence as her climax barreled through her. Her rubbing didn’t stop as she
pressed even harder against her clit, enjoying every pulse exploding from that
tiny, sensitive bundle of nerves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">As the waves of pleasure began to recede,
AJ leaned against the shower wall, panting. She couldn’t believe the fierceness
of her orgasm, brought on by her own hand and the explicit thoughts involving a
faceless stranger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">As an emerging author, the past year has
been extremely exciting with six releases, and my newest, “Love on the Line”, was
out with the way from Evernight Publishing on April 30th! My writing journey began many years ago, but
only within the last four (or so) did I tell myself, this is what I’m going to
do!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">I grew up on the East Coast, and after
joining the U. S. Army, met and married my studly husband (of nearly 28 years),
and migrated to the West Coast. While
raising two sons, I put myself through dental hygiene school, which I’ve been
doing for the past eighteen years. Soon
I hope to transition out of that profession and concentrate solely on writing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">After attending my very first writer’s
conference in Bellevue, WA, in October of 2016, my motivation was at an
all-time high. By August of 2017, my
first book was published! Since then
it’s been rolling, with four releases from Evernight Publishing. My fifth with EP (still awaiting edits) will
be the start of what I hope to be a three-book series. I currently have the start of two other
series I plan to submit—a small-town romance, and <i>The Cover Model Series </i>set in Seattle. The first book in this series, <i>In a Flash, </i>was inspired by seeing the
amazing cover model photographer, Wander Aguiar, at the writer’s
conference. I wrote the story for
NaNoWriMo in 2016, finishing 52K in 26 days!
Since then it’s gone through a number of revisions, and with one more
polish, I’ll be submitting soon to EP. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">One project I’m very honored to a part of
is the <i>Happy Holidays – anthology of
short stories. </i>It’s a compilation of stories from international authors,
and all proceeds go to The World Literacy Foundation. It’s available on Amazon in both print and
digital.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">When not writing, of course I’m
reading—waaay too many authors to list—from contemporary to erotic to
suspenseful romance. I love finding ways
to gain exposure and engage with other authors and readers, and while I don’t
have a blog, I love to support authors by sharing as much as I can on my social
media sites. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

wonderful people associated with not only EP, but across the writing spectrum
and on the many social media platforms.
I look forward to one day meeting many in person. In July, I’ll have the opportunity to attend
an author event in Seattle, WA. </span></div>

When he finds out his only sister overdoses on drugs dealt by his brothers, he hands in his colors and severs ties to the club and vicious lifestyle forever.

<span style="color: #26282a;">Mel Hughson owns the only bar in hicksville, no-mans-land, New Hampshire. She’s content with her single life, but the cold, spring night Nicky Landon’s Harley rolls into town ignites her desire. The fact he’s got at least twenty years on her doesn’t mean jack to Mel. He’s hot, he’s dangerous, and whether he knows it or not, he belongs to her.

<span style="color: #26282a;">Can Mel tempt Nicky to ignore their age gap and surrender to her, or will the secrets from his perilous past rise up to destroy everything?<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

Regan Ferguson knows little past running The Inn, her home
since her adoption. Again orphaned, she’s dealt another blow. Her father never
repaid a loan, the recipient being Maddox Ferguson, her <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">newfound</span>, sexy cousin.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Intrigued by the woman he never knew existed, Maddox is awed
by her tenacity and determination to continue with The Inn. He makes her a loan
to give her the opportunity to learn for herself how impossible the task,
rather than personally destroying any chance to explore the connection between
them. However, he quietly lines up potential buyers as a fallback plan.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Regan eventually has that epiphany, only to accidentally
determine Maddox’s plan. Feeling betrayed and confused, she secretly signs the
buyout and hits the road with her cat, Oscar.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maddox follows, and without The <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Inn</span> between <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">them</span> they find
their happily ever after—Regan learns that home is wherever her heart is. <o:p></o:p></div>

Excerpt:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
She stuck out her hand, and he fancied she saw it as an olive branch. The hostility she’d initially projected was gone, and he took the opportunity to encroach into her space. Clasping her small, work-roughened hand in his much larger one, a frisson of energy sparked between them and he felt her quiver.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Fascinated, he watched as she strove to regain her composure, while he allowed his desire to show. Staring into her eyes, the pale-blue of her irises consumed by the dilation of her pupils, he read her need. He tugged her to his chest, the clean smell of soap and water, and something uniquely Regan, wafting from her.<br />
<br />
Her head tipped back and he dropped his mouth down on hers, the immediate connection hardening his flesh to the point of pain. She relaxed into his hold and he tasted her with desperate intent. His fingers wove through the silky mass of her hair, holding her steady, and she moaned deep in her throat. She pressed closer, her arms wreathing around his neck.<br />
<br />
He somehow brought it to a close, over long before he wanted it to be, but his conscience pricked hard. He’d promised her the time and money to bring The Inn up to snuff, somehow unable to resist. And now he’d honor his commitment, intuiting the importance of this woman determining her own destiny. Not a fling, not like with his other women.<br />
<br />
His libido jeered and prodded at him but knew to allow nature to take its course. Wherever this connection with Regan was going, he wouldn’t hurry nor derail it.<br />
<br />
As they both caught their breath, he gently set her away from him, his hands on her lithe waist, until she steadied on her stool. “I normally don’t seal business deals with a kiss,” he said, aware his tone held a certain rasp. Clearing his throat, he continued, “It’s been a … momentous day.”<br />
<br />
Her slender throat working in a swallow, she said, “I’ve never sealed a business deal before.”<br />
<br />
He knew she wasn’t experienced and doubted she kissed every man she’d just met with fervor and without meaning anything by it. Aching for her, he clamped down on his physical need and did his best to appear suave and unruffled. “We have a deal, Regan. I’ll bring my things in and get settled while you get organized. You’ll need a material list, among other things.”<br />
<br />
Visibly drawing her composure around her like flexible armor, she slipped from the stool and turned her back on him, clearing away the dishes on the island. “Sounds good. I’ll just tidy up and then sit down with pen and paper. Lists are good.”<br />
<br />
Holding hard on to his own equanimity, he nodded and headed out for his car. Some fresh air would clear his head and cool him down.<br />

Both being extremely independent and familiar with
rejection, Celeste Hill and Elliot Godwin have a short but intense time
together, something very special. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She heads off to a coveted job, leaving him to puzzle out
how he might pursue a connection he’d never dreamed of having. And, despite
pursuing her dream, Celeste can’t stop thinking about Elliot and what might
have been.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Returning home before he can follow her, she tells him they
are pregnant. Impossible. Believing he’s sterile, the reason his wife left him,
Elliot is devastated—and lashes out. Celeste flees his cruel words, putting
distance between them, and now determined not to name him as the father of
their child.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
But miracles do happen and men can come to their senses.
Elliot follows his heart and Celeste again opens hers for their happily ever

Excerpt:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
Knowing the majority of her response was <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">hormone-fueled</span> did nothing to mitigate the
meltdown. How hard had she held herself against the news until now, sharing
with no one but him? Forgoing the acceptance and excitement of her friends and
family… Doing the right thing, notifying the father first. She sobbed and
choked until she thought her throat would tear and her lungs collapse, her
cheeks raw with the deluge. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Her </i>baby…
She pressed a hand against her abdomen, whispering a heartfelt reassurance. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Not about you, sweetheart. I love you.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
It felt like hours but was, in reality, a few short
minutes before she wrestled back her composure, albeit as a soggy wreck of
exhaustion. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Impossible. </i>She’d
sorted out the reasoning—and ensuing rejection—behind his flat comment in short
order. But it wasn’t impossible. He was capable regardless of what he believed.
The tiny seed in her belly was living proof. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
But it didn’t matter. He thought she’d come to him,
pregnant with another man’s child, to cadge… She couldn’t bear to think of what
he thought of her. His opinion didn’t matter either. Asshole.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
Fumbling for a wad of tissues, she mopped up what
remained of her makeup and took a shuddering breath, pushing any thought of
Elliot Godwin from her head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
A tap on the window drew a muffled shriek as she
started, turning to stare at his unwelcome bulk hunched over her little car,
his handsome face only inches away. His silvery eyes were narrowed, cold and
impenetrable, not at all like the turbulent wash of emotion when he’d been as
deep inside her as any man could be in a woman. Planting their child.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
As emotionally drained as she was, she couldn’t help the
faint shiver of that arousing memory before dispatching it. Stupid hormones.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
She eased the window down a notch. “What?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
His gaze took <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">in</span>
her face and she knew what he saw. She never cried prettily, but then she
rarely cried. Make that never. Tears were for the weak. He would know that. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
“Are you all right?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
Like he cared. She was a slut, remember? Well, maybe
not—Elliot didn’t judge, at least about consenting adults sexing things up. So,
what then? What was a woman called who tried to stick a guy with a kid that
wasn’t his? Something far worse in his eyes, for sure.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
“I’m fine.” She whirred the window back up and threw the
vehicle into gear. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
With cautious
regard to his proximity, she drove forward and then guided the car back onto
the pavement, ignoring his tall form in the mirror.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks so much for hosting my new release today. Her
Husband’s Army Buddy is out now, and the first in a new series called McLeod
Security. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like so many of my stories, this one started as a flash on
my blog. Little did I know then, that it would evolve into a series. When I
expanded the flash, it was to be a short story in honor of one of my reader’s
birthdays. The Sandy in the story <span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I wrote it took on a life of its own, side characters
popped up demanding their story to be told, and hey presto a new series was
born. Book two is already completed and the next two are in the planning
stages, so watch this space as they.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I should add that all stories will be Standalones, loosely
connected through McLeod Security, some darker than others, with different
pairings and D/s dynamics, and familiar characters will pop up throughout. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Excerpt 1: <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“We need to get her out of this dress, Sir.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hearing her husband address Sean like that gave her a secret
thrill, the likes of which she wouldn’t have thought possible. To know that she
was at the mercy of two Doms, one of which was an unknown entity made this
whole thing extra exciting. Whether it was the perceived danger Sean
represented, the not knowing how far he would take things, her befuddled brain
couldn’t quite figure out. She stopped thinking altogether when Zane unzipped
her dress at the back, followed by the snap on her bra and slid his hands
around her ribcage to cup her freed breasts.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Let her go a minute so we can lose these contraptions.”
Zane’s grumbled command pitched her need even higher.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sean stopped kissing her, the pressure on her wrists ceased,
and in the next instant she was naked, barring her soaked through thong, hold-up
stockings, and the heels she still wore.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Fuck, you’re beautiful.” Sean’s deep voice showed his
admiration of her body as much as his perusal of her as he stepped back and let
his hot gaze roam all over. “Spread her for me, so that I can look my fill of
our sweet cunt.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The dirty words turned her on almost as much as her
husband’s immediate response.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Your wish is my command, Sir.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Zane kicked her legs apart and held her wrists firmly behind
her back. Sean, in the meantime, shrugged out of his shirt, and kicked his
shoes and trousers off with a speed that left her dizzy. As did the size of his
erection straining against the damp confines of his boxers. To know she’d done
that to him was a heady aphrodisiac indeed, as was her husband’s erection
pushing against her ass.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sean divested himself of his boxers, too, and she gasped
when his thick shaft bobbed up to his navel. She’d been right. He was huge.
While his girth wasn’t as thick as Zane’s he had a good half inch in length,
and Zane wasn’t exactly small in that department.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Heavily veined, Sean’s magnificent cock looked ready to
explode all over again, the broad tip already glistening in pre-cum.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She wanted to taste him so badly, yet Zane’s grip on her wrists
stopped her from reaching out. As though Sean had read her thoughts, he groaned
and, taking his shaft in his hand, pumped a few times along its length.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Soon, you get to suck my cock, sweet girl, but for now, I
need to taste you properly.” With that he got to his knees. As tall as he was
that action brought his head level with her breasts, and he wasted no time in
taking full advantage of that fact. Sean held each breast in his large hand,
and grinning up at her pushed them together, before he took both nipples into
his mouth and sucked hard.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sandy tugged at Zane’s restraints, and her knees would have
buckled had Zane not pushed his thigh between her legs to keep her upright. Her
head fell back against his shoulder, and she gave herself over to the intense
sensations Sean’s talented tongue subjected her to. Her nipples had always been
sensitive, a livewire straight to her clit, and with the dual sensation of
Sean’s sucks and the gentle friction Zane’s leg created between her thighs, she
climbed the rungs of arousal in record time. Her hips bucked against her
husband’s leg as she sought to increase the friction she needed to go over. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A sharp bite to her shoulder coincided with Sean releasing
his hold on her nipples with an audible pop.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No coming without your Sirs’ permission, baby girl, or
we’ll leave you hanging.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sure enough, Zane withdrew his thigh, while Sean grasped her
hips to keep her steady. He kissed his way down her soft belly, interspersing
kisses with little bites that left her hovering on the precipice. He bypassed
her pussy and, flinging one of her legs over his shoulder, nibbled along the
edge of her stocking.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hmm, as much as I love these, they need to come off. Look
at me, pet.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sandy’s eyes flew open, and the sight of Sean between her
legs made another gush of moisture trickle past the elastic of her thong. He
licked that trail away, and she groaned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Please, I need to, please.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Grinning, Sean blew a stream of hot air across her still
covered slit, and her clit contracted in need.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What do you need, sweet Sandy? Do you need to come?” He
nudged his nose along her vulva, inhaling deeply, and Sandy jerked. Not that it
got her very far because Zane’s hold on her wrists never lessened, and Sean’s
fingers dug into her hips with so much pressure, she would surely be left with
bruises. The thought of carrying his marks made breathing even more difficult,
and she groaned her reply.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Please, so close, I … God…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She wasn’t entirely sure what pleas were spilling from her
lips, and in truth she was far too gone to care. With Zane’s harsh breaths in
her ear, and Sean’s dirty words she was a goner.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So very eager. I can see your little clit push against this
lace. You’re close, aren’t you, sweet thing? Such a turn-on. What do you think,
Zane, should we let her come or torture her some more?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sean let go of her hips briefly to tear her thong clean off
of her, and then he looked his fill.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So very wet, and pink. Your hole is clenching, begging to
be filled. What do you want in there, pet? My tongue? My fingers? My cock? Or
Zane’s? Tell me, or I’ll leave you hanging and fuck your husband instead.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Isobel Fieri loves her dream job of working as an archivist
in the city’s most prestigious museum. Well, aside from the creepy advances of
her boss, that is. But when her mentor goes missing and a valuable exhibit
piece vanishes into thin air, she knows something is very wrong. Bound by her
desire to find answers, some really steamy flashbacks, and an attraction to a
certain sexy fireman, opening weekend is about to get interesting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that took her from them. When he finds himself in front of the Remington
Museum, he is drawn in to the mythology exhibit despite himself. A chance
meeting will upend his universe and bring his carefully constructed world
crashing down around him. Discovering his long lost mate here seems impossible,
but when danger roams the hallowed halls of the museum, he must fight for her
or lose her forever to the twisted web of fate.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

her lips brought their time together last Friday night to the forefront of his

gravel road. He broke the kiss, struggling to shake the fog of wanting her that
had taken over his body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">He had to remain in control. For both their sakes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Izzy, someone’s coming.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“I hear them.” Her voice was cold. “Sounds like Rory’s old
sedan. I knew it wouldn’t be long before they followed me up here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Do you think they put a tracker on you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">She shrugged. “It could be anywhere. My clothes. A spell
someone brushed on me when I was at the meeting after work.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">He would go crazy in a prison like that. Roark ground his
teeth in indignation. They had to be stopped. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“What do you want to do?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“I want a say in my future. Let’s go.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Where?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“What about Wayfarer?” Her eyes were fathomless pools and
when he peered into their depths, he remembered the unsettling encounter at
Forbidden Ink. He’d looked up the best shops in a hundred mile radius and it
was ranked as one of the top three. But what they both got when they arrived
was akin to a fortune telling session with needles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">He would never forget the owner’s words when they walked into
the shop and he asked to see the selection of tattoos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“The Goddess picks your ink, boy.” The sultry, dark eyed
vampire considered them both and then pointed at him. “You. Sit. I’ll be with
you in a bit.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And she had. Hours later, after Izzy was done, he’d made an
appointment to come the next night only to receive a masculine version of the
same tattoo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The woman…Fae, he half remembered, contemplated him after
she’d finished his ink. “Don’t be afraid to walk into the flames. There’s a
reason why the phoenix chose you both, shifter. Just be worthy of her when the
time comes.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<i>There’s only one man for Andi—her Sir.</i><br />
<br />
Andi McCarron knew the moment she met Sir’s gaze, he’d change her life forever. Despite other Doms wanting her as their sub, she only submits to him because he knows how to make her skin tingle. The pain delivered from his crop makes her spirit sing. She needs Sir but she wants more—except he’s not interested in taking the relationship outside of the club. What’s a girl to do when the man of her dreams, the one wielding the crop, won’t leave the club?<br />
<br />
Dean Meyer craves his sweet sub, Andi. She fills his dreams and fantasies, but she wants a relationship. He’s not sure she can handle both his demons and secrets. Still, he can’t deny the attraction to her. When fate throws them together, he has to make a choice—give his sub what she needs or let her go for good.

“You control everything,” she blurted. Her cheeks reddened, and she bowed her head. “Sorry. But you do.” <br />
<br />
“Actually, you do. When we play, you’re the one in control. You say stop or slow, and I follow. I push you, but you tell me when you’re done. I’ll encourage you to stretch your boundaries, but only because I want to make you fly.” He pushed the cooling coffee to the side. “If you say no, then I respect your decision.” <br />
<br />
“You expect me to kneel.” She flattened her palms on the table. “Like that last time.” <br />
<br />
“I wanted to show off my beautiful woman. If you’d have said no before we left the private area, I would’ve stayed out of the main room.” He leveled his gaze at her. “I expect a partner. You were my best partner.” He hadn’t taught her very well if she thought she was second rate. When they played again—and they would be—he’d show her what he meant. <br />
<br />
“You have one. A partner. I saw the demonstration,” she said. “You replaced me.” <br />
<br />
“Slow down.” He hadn’t known she was at the club when he’d done the demonstration or he would’ve plucked her from the audience. “Which demo?” <br />
<br />
“There’s more than one?” <br />
<br />
“I don’t have a permanent sub, so I’m expected to do demonstrations for visitors, for the videos … for people who want to play the voyeur. That’s part of my job at the club.” Not his favorite part and he couldn’t wait to pass the torch to someone else, but he’d tell her that later. She managed to aggravate him like no other. He wanted to stretch her ass across his lap and spank the sass out of her. Then he wanted to kiss her until she collapsed. He wasn’t one to settle down, but she made him think twice. In her own way, she’d broken him. <br />
<br />
“I thought we had something.” She turned her cup around. “Now I understand I was just another client.” <br />
<br />
“I never said that. Never thought it,” he said. She’d been special from the start. He loved the way she felt in his arms, the way she moaned during a scene, the flicker in her eyes just before she came… <br />
<br />
“Then why replace me? Why not tell me how you felt?” she asked. “Or have you come to this realization now that we’re not at the club?” <br />
<br />
“First, I didn’t replace you. I don’t have any one sub I play with. The girls in the video are one and done. No sex, just demonstration and go. I haven’t found anyone who can fill your place. I’ve had a couple offers, but they aren’t you.” They shouldn’t be having this conversation in public, but she needed reassurance. “Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?”

away from the window and gazed at his reflection. The mirror was wall mounted
and speckled in places. The frame matched the wood dresser beneath it. A
handknitted brown and tan spread covered the crude pine bed. The room had been
decorated on a meager budget, but it was warm and comforting because Quinn had
handcrafted all the furniture himself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">Noah’s
bedroom hadn’t changed since he was a kid. Yesterday, when he’d first stepped
through the door, he’d felt the walls close in on him. As a kid, this room
seemed huge, but now that he was a man, he could see how small it really was.
It felt surreal like turning back the clock, but not in a bad way. If only he
could—<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">“Where’s the
man of the hour?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">The sound of
loud voices traveled up the stairs. More guests had arrived for the party. The
community was small, but when everyone attended an event, it could be
overwhelming. Noah checked his image in the mirror again. He’d already changed
shirts several times, and he still wasn’t sure that he liked the blue chambray
shirt he’d put on with his khakis. <i>Why am I making such a big deal out
of this?</i> He felt like Marcus primping for one of those stupid frat
parties. What difference did it make what color shirt he wore? <i>Stop
stalling</i>, he told himself. <i>You can’t stay in your room forever.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">Noah stood at
the top of the stairs. Below, friends and neighbors were chatting excitedly.
Noah had nothing to say to them. He would disappoint them. Anxiety made his
stomach churn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span lang="EN-GB">Blurb</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Escaping the king’s harem, Lahna finds herself at the mercy
of a warrior prince who holds her captive and makes no secret of his desire to
have her. Lahna hasn’t fled from one tyrant only to become the captive of
another, and she certainly has no intention of warming the bed of the fearsome
prince…even if he does make her body burn and her senses reel.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Caelan suspects his voluptuous captive may have been sent
to spy on him and discover his plans to liberate his land from the tyrannical
rule of the king. But her arrival provides him with the perfect opportunity to
set those plans in motion. First, that means making her his, and in doing so he
might just satisfy the craving for her that heats his blood and fires his
loins.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">But can Caelan really trust her? And can Lahna trust him to
keep her safe when it matters most?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<strong><span lang="EN-GB">Extract</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">He had markings on his skin, the type that were forbidden
by the king. What looked like intricate black ribbons circled his muscled upper
left arm. He also had scars along his right arm, the kind made by weapons of
battle.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">He caught her staring at him and she looked away, sipping at
the water again.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">“You find something of interest?”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">She swallowed before glancing back at him. “You are not
what I expected.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">His expression darkened and a tension moved into his big
body. “Indeed. And what did you expect?”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">At the coldness in his eyes, Lahna reached for her inner
strength and all the bravado she could muster. “You wear the marks of battle
and your hair is long.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">His gaze held hers, searching for some hidden answer for
which she didn’t know the question. Then he leaned closer. “Before anything
else, I am a warrior. You would do well to remember that.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">She pushed her head back into the pillow as he leaned
farther down. When her stomach pitched again, she wondered at the wisdom of
eating too much bread. Except this feeling didn’t feel like over-indulgence.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Only when he straightened did she breathe once more.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">“What is the name by which you are known?”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">What kind of game was he playing? Of course he knew her
name. “Lahna,” she sneered, lifting her chin.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">He said nothing, but narrowed his blue gaze directly at
her.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">She wouldn’t be intimidated. “How long am I to remain
here?”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">“As long as you wish.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">“As <em>I</em> wish?”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Pointedly, he looked around him. “Do you see locks on the
doors? Bars on the windows?”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">No, she didn’t, come to think of it. At least, none that
were visible. But was it a ploy? Was he trying to lull her into feeling secure
and then he would pounce? She didn’t trust him. Couldn’t afford to trust him.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">“There are more ways to imprison a woman than with locks
and bars.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">“Why would I want to imprison you?”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Was he genuinely trying to provoke her? “That’s why
I’m here, isn’t it? I’m little more than your prisoner, your captive. I
appreciate you letting me regain my strength before I face my fate, but I would
prefer to have an indication of what to expect when I am back to full health.
What is to be done with me?”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">“Now why would you expect that I intend to do anything with
you?”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Infuriating man. He was toying with her like an animal
trapped in a snare.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">“I am in your quarters, am I not? Why am I here if not to
be punished in some way?”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">“May I remind you that you sailed into my waters uninvited?
Had I not plucked you out of the reef, you would now be food for the fish.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Sailed into his waters? Uninvited?<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Everything inside her grew warm. Had she truly made it out
beyond the horizon to where she had heard people lived freely? Unencumbered by
the king’s tyrannical rule?<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Her heart began pounding with joyful relief at the thought
she might be free. But if that were so, where was she? This man spoke the same
language, ate the same foods.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Maybe it was a trick and the king had meant to test her,
find out why she had tried to escape. Had he tasked her guard to ingratiate
himself with her, to learn of her plans, her reasoning? To pretend that he
didn’t know who she was?<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Yet, if this man really didn’t know her identity, and had
no idea from where she’d come, maybe she had sailed far from the king’s
clutches, to another land.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Regardless, she had to play things very carefully. It
didn’t matter where she was. The king’s reach was vast. This man could be in
the king’s employ whoever he was, and wherever he lived. The islands that were
now under Zomotian rule would never dare go against their new ruler, the king.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">She had to think. Had to remain vigilant.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">The man surveyed her closely, suspicion heavy in his
hypnotic gaze. “When your health is recovered, I will arrange for you to be
sent back home.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Grasping for courage she didn’t feel, she angled her chin
into the air. “S…sent back?” Everything inside her went to ice.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

out there online. I found like minded people who enjoyed spanking and all it’s
different forms and that inspired me to write to write down some of my
fantasies, which then translated into stories. I’ve never looked back and I
love it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a Christmas story around the holidays. I don’t have much writing time but maybe
someday I’ll be able to do more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

so sweet it removed all reason, and so complete it rendered her helpless in his
grasp. </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Excerpt:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Thanks, Jack. I know this might be
awkward for you,” Ridley Asher said. “You never hung around us much.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="margin-left: .25pt; text-indent: 35.75pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She had no idea.
Jack’s libido went into overdrive every time he’d see her. Even in the presence
of Dean Asher. Ridley was temptation with a capital T. Curvaceous, stunning,
exotic. A man’s fantasy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And his ex-partner’s ex-wife.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“It’s no big deal, Ridley. You need a
job and Sterling Motors needs an administrative assistant. You win, and I
definitely win. I’m organized when it comes to restoring cars, but I can’t
organize this business to save my life.” He’d just walk around the shop with a
raging woody for eight or so hours a day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Umm. Wha-what about Dean?” Her ocean-blue
eyes searched Jack’s. A frown turned her full lips downward. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Her response bothered him. Ridley
deserved to smile. “Dean doesn’t play into this. This is purely a business
decision. You have the skill set I need and you understand the restoration
process. You literally know the nuts and bolts of a job.” He leaned back in his
beat-up leather desk chair, elbows on the arms, and steepled his fingers. “I
will let Dean know I hired you. Just to avoid any surprises.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She nodded. “Fair enough,” she
admitted, wringing her fingers. “I hope I don’t put you in a bad situation, but
I appreciate you hiring me. I can’t believe the firm closed down. We were in
the green every quarter I worked there.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I’m not sure, but their loss is my
gain.” He rose from his chair, reaching his full height of six-feet-two. He
leaned his head from side to side, cracking the vertebrae in his neck. “I know
this is spur of the moment, but can you start today? You’re already here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I could, but I have Dozer with me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A brow rose. “Dozer?” A large piece
of construction equipment popped into his mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A soft smile graced her face, adding
alluring beauty to an already exquisite face. “My very large yellow Labrador
retriever.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He gave a mental eye roll. Dean had
mentioned that she couldn’t find a man so she’d gotten a dog instead. Jack
seriously doubted she had trouble finding men. His mechanics and metal workers
stopped whatever they were doing and watched her walk to Jack’s office. A
magnet had nothing on her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“He’s welcome here. Three of my men
bring their dogs with them. My only rule is they have to wear a fire retardant
vest when they are around sparks or blow torches.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Again, fair enough.” She rose from
the chair opposite Jack’s desk and maneuvered around the beat-up metal piece of
furniture. She laid her hand on his arm and stood on her tiptoes. “Thank you,
Jack. I’m glad Denny gave me the heads up on the job.” Her lips brushed his
ever so softly, probably not to entice, but to show her gratitude. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Every nerve ending in Jack Sterling’s body roared to life.
She returned to her chair and leaned over to pick up her purse. Her jeans
hugged her heart-shaped bottom to perfection. Erotic pictures filled his mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

do you write?</i> My first release On the Ropes is a Contemporary Erotic
Romance. The Windy City Nights series along with its sister series Wild Texas
Tales will also include paranormal, BDSM and ménage erotic romance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA">3) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Have you ever self published?</i> No. I
thought it would be best starting out with a publisher. I’m thrilled to be a
part of the Evernight Publishing family. I am open to the idea of
self-publishing once I’ve published a few stories through Evernight. I’ll have
to wait and see.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA">4)<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Who or what
inspired you to write your first book?</i> Reading so many wonderful books from
many romance sub-genres. I thought to myself “Yeah, I think I can do this!”. My
husband’s encouragement and faith in me helped me to finally take pen to paper
so to speak.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA">5) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">How many hours
in a day might you write?</i> Although I have an “evil day job”, I’m so
fortunate to be a full-time tech teleworker. I’m able to get writing time in
the morning before I need to log into the company network, many times
throughout the day if I’m not fulfilling support requests and after the work
day is over. Each day is different but I shoot for a least a couple hours of
writing time every day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA">6) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Are you a plotter or a pantser?</i> I am a
plotter who is flexible as the story unfolds. I’ve been told I can be a bit of
a control freak but I’ve discovered when writing romance – you just can’t
control everything!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-CA">7)<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Do you ever find yourself slipping away and becoming so immersed in
your story it affects how you relate to others?</i> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes! Sometimes I’d rather interact with my
story characters than the “real” people in my life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-CA">8) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Are you in any of your books?</i> Not
directly, no. Abbey Jayne in On the Ropes has a similar work and educational
background as I do, but her appearance, family, friends and relationship
circumstances are nothing like mine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-CA">9)<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> What do your
friends and family have to say about you writing?</i> My husband is beyond
thrilled. He’d been patiently and sometimes not so patiently encouraging me for
the last several years to get this first book written. He’s now on me to
complete the second book in the Windy City Nights series. My friends are very
excited and supportive. My mother, a traditional Italian “old country” kind of
gal isn’t quite sure what to make of this new adventure of mine. She’s more of
a “clean, traditional romance” reader (translated in Italian) but she wants to
read On the Ropes even though it has “bad words” and English is her second
language. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
events of the last few days had finally caught up to Luke. His eyes stung.
Darren had stopped Luke from crying at the hospital when he’d told him about
his diagnosis. But here, alone with Abbey and with only the soft light from one
of the bedroom nightstands on, he felt free to release the pain and sorrow he’d
been holding in.</span><span lang="it" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Even
without my injury, though, you know Darren and I planned for this. If I hadn’t
gotten hurt on Wednesday, I might have given myself another year, possibly
two.” Luke finally allowed his tears to fall. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Abbey
held him tightly, giving him the space he needed to just be. She sniffled and
gently stroked his hair, comforting him the best way she could. </span><span lang="it" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“But
Abbey, Darren’s sick. The prognosis isn’t good, so we decided I’d
transition to ownership of … everything now, rather than later. I haven’t
talked to him in detail because of the wedding, but I’m guessing there’ll be a
press conference early next week.”</span><span lang="it" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Luke’s
tears ran unchecked as he wept, holding his true love in his arms. He mourned
the end of an amazing career, one he was so very proud of. He mourned what he
believed would be the eventual loss of his uncle, his second father, his
mentor, his advisor, the last of his immediate family. Although Darren could easily
afford the best of care, money couldn’t fix everything. Rich or poor, cancer
was a motherfucker. It didn’t play favorites.</span><span lang="it" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Luke
positioned himself fully on top of Abbey, resting on his elbows so he didn’t
crush her. “It’s going to be all right, baby. As long as I have you beside me,
I know everything will be all right.”</span><span lang="it" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">She
brushed away the tears from Luke’s face and smiled affectionately at him. “I’ll
be right here with you, Luke. I promise. I love you. I’ll help you and Darren however
I can.”</span><span lang="it" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Hard
again since Abbey was naked beneath him, Luke easily slid his cock inside her.
She was still slick from both of them coming earlier. Her pussy gripped his
dick tight as he slowly thrusted in and out of her, taking his time, savoring
the feel of her. </span><span lang="it" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">They
tenderly made love as they kissed and whispered words of love and affirmation
to each other. They were bound together heart and soul. When Luke shot his cum
deep inside her, he prayed they’d created a life. The perfect combination of
the two of them—smart, caring, ambitious, athletic. He hoped their first child
would be a boy, chauvinistic as that sounded. He couldn’t help it. Men wanted
mini versions of themselves. That was just how it was. Luke wanted daughters
too, though. Pretty little versions of his princess. He couldn’t help but smile
at the thought. His future family would be amazing.</span><span lang="it" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: white;">I let my gaze roam all over her body, exciting me more. She was perfect
in every way. I loved all her soft curves, or as she called them, “her wiggly
bits”. I drank her in and crooked my finger, beckoning her closer. With only a
little help from me, I made her climb onto the kitchen bench then set my stool
between her legs. Today, I intended to make her wait. I was going to take her
to the edge and back as many times as I could.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

until she was right on the edge of the bench, at the perfect height for me.
Running a finger up and down, I discovered she wasn’t a little moist, she was
extremely wet. I let her rich juices coat my finger and licked it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: white;">Cupping my hand, I pushed a finger into her hot wet cunt while I leaned

made.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: white;">Taking her to the edge time and time again, I could tell how frustrated
she was as she pouted at me. I wondered simply how much longer it would be

<span style="background-color: #444444; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: white;">This time, when she was hovering on the edge, she tried to bring her
legs together to keep my hand inside her. I laughed and shook my head. She bit
her bottom lip and I figured this next time I’d let her come. Once more, I
pushed a finger inside her, then another. In and out of that cunt. I loved the
squishy noises it made as I began sucking and biting at her clit. She moaned
louder and louder as the beginnings of her orgasm started again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: white;">Her demanding scream echoed across the kitchen as I sucked on that bead.
Drawing it in, I bit down hard with my mouth. If we ever got into a real
Dom-sub relationship, she’d learn to behave. Still, at the moment, we were only
two people enjoying each other’s bodies.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

In 2017 Suzy was nominated for the Best Established Author in the

rounds to reach the finals. She came 8th in that final round against some
extremely talented and well-known Australian Romance Authors.</span></span><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white;"><span lang="EN-AU">Her books always feature older
heroes and heroines; ranging from mid 40s to 60s. The heroines are usually
confident plus-sized women who are proud of their curves. Suzy feels it's
important for readers to connect. When she discovered many romance
books seemed to cater for younger readers with their heroines and heroes
in the 20s she decided to write about characters who were older but maybe not
always wiser. As she is in her 60s Suzy feels she can relate to her
characters desires, fears and hopes and hopes her readers can as well. </span><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

understand just because people are older doesn't mean they aren't intriguing,
desirable, open to challenges and willing to experiment. Sexy
isn't just for the under 30s. </span><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Art studio vandalized and her mother in a fresh grave, Meg Winters heads off on vacation with her two best friends. She hopes for peace from her grief and the return of her muse. She doesn’t expect to run into the two men she idolizes, Trevor and Jack, the secretive wonders of the art world whose work she’s long admired. She certainly doesn’t expect them to be sex-on-legs gorgeous and determined to fulfill her number one sexual fantasy. They not only awaken her slumbering body, but also her creativity and the life she used to wield with her brushes.
However, Meg carries a secret of her own which holds her back from surrendering herself fully to their desires. Will Trevor and Jack be able to overcome her reservations, or will the truth of her past ruin their chance for love? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
Meg’s feet moved on their own accord, turning her around. She grabbed her pen flashlight and the throw off the foot of her bed to cover her nakedness, slipped on her flip flops, and made her way silently out of her room and toward the back door. It closed with a click behind her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> H</span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">eart racing and the inside of her lip between her lower lip, she picked her way through the blueberry bushes, her gaze flitting to the lit bedroom window. The floodlight flared to life as she stepped up onto their patio.
Their back door opened before she reached it, and she pulled up short. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Jack stood in the doorway, shirtless, his jeans slung low on his hips.
The silence rang in Meg’s ears as energy crackled between the short distance separating them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> “Just one night,” she finally whispered, her need moving her forward. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Jack opened the door wide and stepped back, his hazel eyes glued to her while holding his hand out.
She slipped her hand into his while crossing the threshold, and he tugged her forward into his arms. Jack’s full lips swiped across hers, slow and completely knee-weakening. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The flashlight clanked as it fell to the floor beside them. Meg sagged against his hard chest and grasped at his back with her free hand, her hold on the throw covering her slipping enough it fell from her shoulders.
He licked the seam of her lips, and Meg opened with a sigh.
A groan sounded from beside them, but Meg was lost to the taste of Jack’s sweetness, inhaling his exhales as their tongues sought the other’s taste. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> The door clicked shut behind Meg, and Trevor pressed against her back, his lips finding her neck, his hands grasping the flare of her hips, keeping the slipping throw from swishing to the ground and leaving her naked. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Jack’s hands tangled in her hair, angling her head to deepen their kiss.
Wetness coated her thighs, and she wiggled between the two hard bodies, needing to find the release she’d been riding the edge of since making her decision to give in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> “I’ve been dreaming about this since I first saw you,” Trevor whispered against her ear, tugging the blanket from around her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Jack released her lips and tilted his forehead against hers. “God, yes.” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He grabbed her ass and picked her up, and Meg wrapped her legs around his waist, her soaked core settling against the hard ridge inside his jeans.
Face buried in Jack’s neck, breathing in the woodsy remnants of his cologne, Meg gave over to the shivers of nerves pebbling her skin and sending tremors through her body. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I’ve never done this before,” she whispered against his skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Don’t worry.” Jack strode across the living room and toward the hallway leading to the bedroom. “We’ll take good care of you. Promise.” </span><br />

Dragomir, a magician with PTSD and a very inconvenient curse upon him, struggles to make a living, taking part in illegal boxing matches. Fighting is the only thing he’s good at now. But how long can he keep it up? The fights are dangerous, and he’s untrained.
A pretty witch he meets one night says she might change his life for the better. Is she really willing to help, or does she have her own wicked plans about him? And can she succeed where all the magicians of Scholomance have failed?<br />

<b>Warnings (or an incentive to read):</b> BDSM, FemDom, bondage, whipping, spanking, pegging… and some magic, too :)

<b>Excerpt</b><br />
<br />
When he came to, the first thing he understood: he couldn’t see. A moment of panic—and then another realization: there was a blindfold of some kind over his eyes. He was standing with his arms up above him … and wait, were his hands bound? What the hell?<br />
He tried to reach up, rotating his wrists, and clutched at the chains he was hanging from. Yes, fucking chains. And leather handcuffs, buckled very tight. And he couldn’t feel any clothes upon himself, just something around his neck in addition to his dog tag.<br />
Then he remembered. Ida. Her apartment. Talking about his curse. She said they had to negotiate…
And after that—nothing.<br />
He jerked at the chains, hard. And again, and a few times more. They didn’t give. There was some slack, so at least his arms weren’t pulled up too tautly, but he couldn’t break free.<br />
“You must be wondering what happened to you,” Ida said somewhere to his left. “You agreed to an experiment, remember? And here you are. A fine specimen for a very interesting test.”<br />
Her hand touched his chest lightly, out of nowhere, and he jolted at the contact as if she prodded him with a stun baton.
She chuckled quietly. “So skittish. But it’s understandable. Everyone would be jumpy in your place.”<br />
Her hand wandered across his pecs, brushed his nipple, and disappeared. “I’ll let you adjust. Try tugging at the chains again if you want to check whether they will break or not. I allow you. But here’s a spoiler: they won’t. It’s not some rusty old shackles. They are good and new, very sturdy, and secured to an eyehook in the ceiling. There had been a large chandelier hanging from it once, so it’s quite reliable. I redecorated the room long ago, but I always thought the hook would come in handy one day. It’s a mild nuisance the handcuffs have to be hanging so high—I’m not that tall. But a bit of hypnosis, and you helped me to restrain you most eagerly.”<br />
What the hell was going on?
As if through a fog, Dragomir remembered saying yes to some kind of experiment and even filling and signing a yes/no negotiation form, but it was a vague memory, distant and dream-like. Everything else—a boxing match, a fight before that—seemed even more surreal.<br />
Ida’s hand slipped along his flank, ticklishly, up to his neck, and tugged at what he realized was a collar.
“And this is to ensure you wouldn’t break free using magic. Quite a special thing. Leather, silver, and a security spell. Meant especially for wayward mages, something of the kind they use in prisons when incarcerating a person with enhanced abilities.” She slipped a finger under the band around his throat, making it too tight, almost choking him. “So you will behave, no matter whether you want it or not. A bad boy will be a good boy for a change.”<br />
“What are you doing?” he rasped out.<br />
“Just making you harmless. Wasn’t it what you wanted, to cause no harm to me?”<br />
Was she mocking him?
He stood there, wearing nothing but a collar, a dog tag, and a blindfold. It was ridiculous. Laughable. Humiliating.
And scary.
Rationally, he knew he probably had nothing to worry about. Or did he? But anyway, all rational thoughts gave way to a primitive bodily reaction—discomfort at being tied up, helpless.<br />
It felt like he was itching all over under his skin with uneasiness bordering on unwanted panic, too exposed, deprived of sight. He tried to wriggle his wrists out of the handcuffs instead of jerking at the chains, but to no avail.<br />
“Nope, the handcuffs will hold, too,” Ida warned him. “I checked, and not just once. As I might have said, I do a bit of coaching now and then, but of an unusual kind. I call it expanding boundaries. Experiencing new sensations. It doesn’t normally include sex, but for you, I might make an exception.”<br />
A peck of a kiss between his shoulder blades. Hands running up and down his sides, in a comforting manner, but at the same time, it was unnerving. He tried to twist away from her touch, stubbornly, but she squeezed his hips, adding a hint of nails.<br />
“Sshh, don’t twitch, hold still,” she said, “or I’ll pull up the chains. They say it’s extremely painful to hang from your wrists. Excruciating.”<br />
“Oh yeah?” he managed. “Someone else complained?”<br />
“And very loudly. Good thing this room is soundproof. As I said, it had been redecorated.”<br />
Her arms went ‘round him. She was still clothed, but he could feel her little perky breasts pressing against his back. His cock, already half-hard, immediately went into a very interested mode. It didn’t seem to mind the strangeness of the situation.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .15in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Haley Snider thought Warren Chalmers was the perfect
Dom, so she transformed herself into the perfect sub. A woman in love is truly blind,
because Warren can be such an ass. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .15in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Warren doesn't really know what he wants, and
questions the very perfection he apparently sought. Haley leaves Warren before
he can reject her, unveiling a surprising temper and steely determination. He
is both intrigued and forced to look at himself. He doesn't much care for what
he finds, and is determined to change, to seek Haley out and really get to know
her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .15in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Realizing that her obsession with Warren has kept her
from being true to herself and him, Haley decides to embrace life differently.
Upon reconnecting with her, Warren discovers his best friend Gordon Sinclair
has a different idea in mind for them all, and that life can be filled with
both friendship and love. And hot sex.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .15in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Haley Snider left her selfish Dom and sought solace
with her best friend. Gordon Sinclair facilitated Haley and Warren Chalmers’s
reunion—with a twist. He proposes a ménage relationship. But Haley isn’t so
sure. She’s afraid of getting hurt again and also wants to pursue her career
and live her life outside of the bedroom, something Warren hadn’t accepted
before. She resists their attempts at building a relationship and then tragedy
strikes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .15in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">She blames herself, believing she has been selfish and
her desperate, guilty feelings cloud her thinking. She won’t walk away this
time but will wait for Gordon and Warren to realize she’s brought them too much
trouble and tell her to leave. In the meantime, she will try to make amends,
reverting back to pretense.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .15in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">It takes considerable effort on her men’s part to help
Haley face reality and accept what she truly needs and deserves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Georgios Andreas’s wife, Jane, left him and died
under mysterious circumstances. Afterward, he avoided relationships outside of
club play.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .15in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">At a ceremonial claiming, he meets the sister of
the submissive, there to bear witness to her sister’s claiming. Iris Snider
draws him, initially because she looks like Jane, but he quickly realizes she
is so much more. He is powerless against the attraction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .15in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Georgios sweeps her off her feet, insisting she too
is submissive. Iris, for the first time in her life, leaps before she looks.
She falls in love and submits to Georgios, hoping for more than a D/s
relationship, and he, too, dares hope for more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .15in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Iris then sees a picture of Jane and is devastated
by her resemblance to Georgios's dead wife. She refuses to take the leavings of
a ghost. Georgios gives her space, inadvertently putting her in danger. Jane’s
killer is still out there, and he, too, has seen the resemblance. And he hates
George.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
