‘Just Breathe’ is live-get a sneak peek of Cocoon!

Oct 15, 2018 | , | 0 Comments

It’s not #TeaserTuesday, lovelies, but it is RELEASE DAY for ‘Just Breathe’ which I know you have all been waiting for since I have been sharing so many of the stories! You’re going to love it, I just know it. BUT! To tempt you with ‘Cocoon’ I’m sharing the teaser below which I only previously shared in my Dark Haven. Enjoy, and then 1-click!

* * *

Cocoon

Without order, without the rules, she’ll go mad.

Amy has issues, but she’s organized her life in such a way that the Noise will never reach her again. No one understands it, understands her, except for the one who writes her messages with perfectly counted words. Equilibre, whose name is French for balance, made up of nine letters. Three times three.

And he wants her.

Forever.

* * *

Teaser

At six o’clock the alarm goes off. Exactly three beeps before Amy reaches over to press the off button. The pale, oval pill on the bedside table is supposed to make it all stop — but it doesn’t work.

Nothing works.

Still, every night she puts it there. One inch from the edge of the square coaster, lined up parallel to the lip of the table, with the two-thirds full glass of water exactly centered.

It is the first thing she puts in her body every morning. Supposedly, with enough of the pills piled up inside her, everything will stop.

The counting — counting — counting. The need for everything to be in the right place.

Getting out of bed seems pointless, but as the clock ticks to 6:01 the needle scratch inside her brain starts to grow. Finish the water, stand up, nine steps to the bathroom door.

She sets the empty glass down beside the toothbrush holder, exactly two-inches away. She used to have to measure it, carried a ruler around like a safety blanket, but that’s not necessary anymore.

Is that progress, or practice?

Dr. Lehey would have an answer, but it wouldn’t be one she wants to hear. It would be another round of questions about why things have to be this way. But if she had the answer, why would she need Dr. Lehey?

Teaser Thursday! ‘Ashes to Ashes’ by Natalie Bennett

Oct 11, 2018 | , , | 0 Comments

Just Breathe releases on Monday, lovelies!  Words are flowing, wine is flowing, things may be okay for now.  I wanted to drop this off for you because it sounds SO GOOD and I can’t wait to dive into Natalie Bennett’s story.

* * *

Ashes to Ashes

I was ashes. He was dust. We forged a blood pact over angels made of snow. It was stronger than a vow and deeper than a promise. Where one went, the other swore to follow. We were always supposed to be together. What we had was greater than love. It was gratitude, trust, and vulnerability. No barriers, no secrets. Just him and I. I thought he’d make me whole. He only left me broken.

* * *

Excerpt

Sometimes it felt like too much. Too much sadness, but not just sadness.

No, It was so much more than that. It was too much anger. Too much disappointment. Too much feeling like an unwelcome stranger inside my own body. Too many highs to crash and burn because of miniscule speed-bumps that everyone else dealt with just fine.

Even worse was the inability to talk to anyone about it because no one ever understood.

So I hid it behind smiles, beneath pretty dresses, make-up that I loathed, and in the bloody cuts, he used to create on my thighs. Looking back at my twenty-two years through a microscopic lens had me laying blame on my crack-whore of a grandmother’s doorstep.

I didn’t know who my actual mom was and my father was just some random guy who didn’t wrap his dick up. I’m not sure if he knew I existed and I no longer had the energy to care. I just wished someone would have taken the time to get me help before I became…this.

I was at a point where I no longer cared to hide the wreckage inside me. The night before I’d gone to bed praying for death.

So why was I wide awake? For a moment I was confused, but then reality quickly honed in.

* * *

This is your last chance to pick up Just Breathe at the special preorder price, it will go up on release day.  If you haven’t joined me in my Dark Haven on Facebook, hop over and see if you can help me out with my book. I posted a question on ‘Inheritance’ and I want your feedback!

Teaser Tuesday! ‘Forbidden Sorrows’ by Missy Ann

Oct 9, 2018 | , | 0 Comments

Can you believe Just Breathe releases in just one week!? I am quite excited over this, I can’t wait for you to get your hands on Cocoon.  This week I wanted to bring you a short excerpt from Missy Ann, with her story Forbidden Sorrows in the Just Breathe Anthology.

* * *

Forbidden Sorrows

Grief strikes hard, with each blow harder than the last. It’s like I’m drowning, burning alive but the most painful is when I’m numb. Don’t tell me everything is going to okay, that’s the last thing I want to hear because nothing will be again. All I want is for it to all go away so I can hide behind my forbidden sorrows.

* * *

Excerpt

Waiting is the easiest and hardest thing I have ever had to do. My emotions are at war. I’m petrified of what might happen next, but worry for Milo’s safety keeps me from losing control.

I constantly check my phone, hoping for a message or any type of contact from Milo.

Father, please let him be safe.

One hand grips my phone and the other rhythmically squeezes my thigh. The kids around me act similarly. Some students hunch over, eyes still focusing on the doorway. Others curl in the fetal position with their hands covering their head, trying to block out what is going on around them. Friends huddle together under desks, arms wrapped tightly around each other. Tension fills the air.

Our lives are in a state of suspended animation as we wait to be rescued. It seems like hours have come and gone before police covered head to toe in riot gear rush in to secure the room and then start leading us out.

 

* * *

Don’t forget the price of Just Breathe goes up on release day, so preorder your copy and feel good about yourself. 100% of all proceeds goes to To Write Love On Her Arms, a nonprofit that helps fight against and support people with mental illnesses.

Teaser Thursday! ‘Purged’ by Livia Grant

Oct 4, 2018 | , | 0 Comments

I have successfully edited TWO books, lovelies, and author brain is slowly starting to function again. I don’t have much time but got this from one of my best friends, Livia Grant, and could not WAIT to share it with you!  If you have read Black Light: Rescued or Black Light: Valentine Roulette you know these characters, ‘Purged’ is a short story about Khloe and Ryder.

* * *

Purged

Khloe finally has it all, good friends, a successful acting career, a Dom who loves her, and a bright future ahead of her. Despite that, when old insecurities arise after she is turned down for a role, Khloe falls back into old habits that lead down a dark and potentially dangerous path. If she can just hurry up, she can achieve her goal weight by the time anyone finds out. Because stopping is always the easy part, right?

* * *

Excerpt

“Don’t say it. I’m perfect for this role. Nothing you are going to say to me will convince me otherwise.”

“It’s not that simple,” Edward asserted.

Before he could continue, she retorted, “Of course it is. I’ve earned this role, Edward, and you know it. The first two projects we did together were box-office mega hits as well as raking in numerous award nominations. I’m a proven commodity for you, Edward.”

Khloe hated the desperation she heard creeping into her voice. She had started to let the success and fame go to her head. She had forgotten what it felt like to have to fight for every role like she had just a few short years before.

Edward reached out to place his hand over hers on the table, patting her as if to placate a child. She resisted the urge to rip her hand away.

“I couldn’t be happier with your performance in the last two films we worked on together, Khloe, I am sure we’ll work together again, but we just don’t feel you’re right for the Margot role.”

“Why not? What is it you think I can’t bring to the part?” She wasn’t going to give up without a fight.

Edward nodded towards the director. Khloe turned to pin him with an expectant glare as she waited for him to answer.

“You’re too perfect. Margot is way too flawed for you to play convincingly.”

“That’s bullshit. Stop with the backhanded compliments. I’m an actress, not a model. You pay me to portray a character. I am the perfect person for this role.”

The director finally looked her directly in the eye. “I disagree. I don’t think you can pull it off. She is a tormented character who will need to sink into despair, ravaged by drugs and will…” he paused before adding, “waste away to nothing before she finally pulls herself up from near death.”

“And you think that level isn’t in my range as an actress?” she pressed him.

“What I think is that your body won’t be able to handle the strenuous trials I’m going to need to put Margot through.”

Her heart was pounding so hard, she could feel the beat in her ears as she tried to understand what he was saying.

“I resent that.” She turned, pinning Edward and adding, “Tell him Edward. Both Dirty Business and Smuggled Dreams were physically demanding roles.”

It was Angie who answered from across the table. “This role is different. I think what Charles is saying is that…”

Khloe cut her off. “Don’t forget, you work for me, Angie. You’re supposed to be convincing them there is no one better for this role, remember?”

The man in the three-piece suit who had been sitting silently finally spoke. “Your medical history has eliminated you from the running, Ms. Monroe.”

The small amount of food in her stomach threatened to make an appearance as the ringing in her ears got louder. A red-hot anger flared inside her. She had warned Ryder that all of the fucking weight he had made her gain was going to cost her jobs and how right she had been.

* * *

I have a couple more excerpts to share from this anthology, I can’t wait to start reading this book. It is HUGE but it is for SUCH a good cause and it has so many good authors in it!

Teaser Thursday! ‘Hostile Takeover’ by Murphy Wallace

Sep 20, 2018 | , | 0 Comments

I finally saw the cover of Just Breathe and I am so excited, it looks so good.  It also looks so innocent compared to the stories, but that is what makes it fun, right?  Haaa!  Today I wanted to give you a short excerpt from Murphy Wallace’s story, ‘Hostile Takeover’ so you could see just how not-innocent the stories actually are.

* * *

 

Just Breathe

From Ashes to Ashes, and dusk to dusk, there are those that Cocoon themselves in the Little Lies they tell.

When the Wreckage keeps them Awake at night, they see the Sickness In The Sunrise. They Ignite everything in their path.

When their minds run through the Unbearable and Forbidden Sorrows. Until one day they find the thing that keeps them Grounded.

All while others feel the Hostile Takeover of their lives. The constant Loops and The Rows of Tattered Pieces and fragments that plague them. Sometimes those can’t be Purged driving them to the Edge of Madness.

* * *

Excerpt from Hostile Takeover

I saw red. Yes, I flew into a rage. I was angry, but can you really blame me?

He wasn’t playing me when he said that he was into me.

We had a connection. We were made for one another. I was out for once. Free.

And then all of the attention was back on him. Like it always is.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I should have shot him that night instead, but I wasn’t strong enough.

Saying goodbye to him wouldn’t work out well for me.

* * *

I can’t wait for everyone to read these stories, each one deals with a different mental illness or disorder and it is so heartbreaking to know people deal with this so regularly.  I can’t wait for you to get your hands on this anthology, stay tuned as I should have preorder links on Tuesday!

Teaser Tuesday! ‘The Row’ by Jane Anthony

Sep 18, 2018 | | 0 Comments

The good news, lovelies, is I am writing again. There is a delightfully sinful story I am writing that is going to offend so many people HAAAA!  I am *not* sorry for how fucked up this story is.  Hopefully things finally settle down and I can get back to some semblance of a normal life.

This week for Teaser Tuesday, I want to share another story in the anthology. I read this excerpt and am just in love with Jane Anthony’s story.  Take a peek at ‘The Row’ and let me know what you think.

* * *

 

The Row

Dangers lurk in the shadows of The Row, an LA slum inhabited by junkies and miscreants. The place young Trinity calls home.

She and King, the de facto leader of a group of runaways, dream of a future free from crooked cops and dirty needles. A new life embodied by the love they share.

Desperation makes a man do crazy things. Including infiltrating the home of Diego Villarreal, California’s most ruthless and feared sex trafficker.

But in his quest for justice, King uncovers more than cash and drugs. Hidden beyond the opulent gates of Diego’s mansion are deadly secrets that might cost him and Trinity everything––including their lives.

 

 

 * * * 

Excerpt

A putrid wind blows down the alley of Second and Main, the stink of garbage and poverty infiltrating my nostrils, spinning around me in a veil of disgust. A few doors down, my home awaits, but violent flashes of cop car lights spin in the background. Dropping my head, I walk on, trying my best to remain unnoticed.

It doesn’t work.

“Trinity! Just the girl I was looking for.”

When I chuck a glance toward the voice on my right, I notice the arm hanging from the dumpster. Onyx lines snake up the slender, lifeless wrist. Another dope head thrown in the trash. I’m numb to it at this point. Death is nothing but a part of life. If you’re lucky you can avoid it, but when that shit finally comes after you, there’s nothing you can do to stop it.

This one’s different, though. Embedded within the milky-blue skin, crisp, perfect pages of an open book shine in the brilliant sun. O’Hara . . . fuck.

I tear my gaze away from my friend and lock on a set of steel-gray eyes. “Just going home, Officer Bower.” The narco detective has been breathing down my neck ever since I first landed on Skid Row. That’s the nickname for this area of city. A section most people avoid at all costs, yet the only place I’ve ever felt at home.

“I need to ask you a few questions about Miss Westerfield.”

“Who?” I shoot back, my lids narrowed into slits. Here on the Row we never exchange names. O’Hara could actually be Jessica, Nicole, or Ava. She could be the fucking queen of England, for all I know. Most of us are hiding from whatever pushed us here in the first place. No one comes by choice. We end up here because we weren’t given one.

“We can talk here, Trin, or we can talk at the station. Think King’s lucid enough to come bail you out if you call?”

“I don’t know anything, okay?” I reply at the end of a sigh. “She was out on the corner waiting for some guy when I left last night, and here she is now.”

Tears threaten to burst over my lashes as I remember our last moments together, but I won’t give Officer Fuckface the satisfaction. She was already out when I hit the pavement, that part is true. Leaning against the lamppost, a tattered copy of Gone with the Wind in her petite hands. She smiled when she saw me, a dopey lovesick look on her face. She was getting out. That’s all she said. My Rhett Butler is coming. Nose in a book. Always. She wanted to be a writer or something. I don’t know. Had she not started messing with the junk, she probably could have done something good. But now her big claim to fame is nothing more than this, a dead body in a dumpster. Ward of the state now, she’ll be disposed of accordingly. Another kid off the streets. A warning for those huddled in their warm beds at night.

Averting my gaze, I swing my bag off my shoulder and rifle through for my smokes. Anything to keep my shaking hands busy. I squeeze the filter between my lips and light the tip, feeling Bower’s stare burn through my clothing.

“Did she say who?”

“I don’t know, man. I didn’t stick around long enough to ask. Figured I would see her later.” The cherry burns bright as I suck hard on the end of my cigarette before letting the smoke stream from my mouth in the direction of my creepy acquaintance.

Office Bower isn’t put off by open fuck you. Instead, he takes a step into my personal space. I recede, pushing against the warm brick wall of the row house. “Shame to see such a pretty young thing reduced to this, Trinity. How long is it gonna be until I’m pulling your body from a dumpster?”

The bitter tang of disgust hits my tongue. I purse my trembling lips and meet his icy glare. “I’m a survivor.”

“I know you think King can protect you. But he can’t.” He lifts his hand and touches the scar that runs the length of my cheek. A constant reminder of the hell I lived through. “He doesn’t run these streets. I do. For a price.”

“Don’t touch me, pig,” I spit, smacking his hand away like a spider.

Cruel laughter follows. A grimy baritone that rumbles in his chest seconds before booming from his throat like thunder. Sirens wail in the distance. More cops on the scene coming to remove one of the remaining members of our tribe. “Take my offer, Trinity. Or you’ll be sorry.”

 

 * * *

Doesn’t this sound so helpless? I love how Jane has spun this world in so few words and I can’t wait to read the rest of it.  Until then, Just Breathe is coming right along and is currently ranked 2nd place in October’s Most Anticipated Romances!  Click here and vote if you can, I will love you forever if you could also add it to your TBR!

Teaser Wednesday! ‘Grounded’ by Anna Edwards

Sep 12, 2018 | , | 0 Comments

I had a great time at Show Me Your Books in Kansas City, I loved seeing everyone!  But then my mom fell and broke her hip on Saturday, so I drove home Saturday night to be here for her surgery on Sunday morning. She made it through and is in good spirits. We’ve got some challenges with rehab + continuing chemo, and a lot more questions than answers on what will happen next, but she’s okay right now and that’s all that matters.  I have some more things to announce, but first I want to share a story from the upcoming anthology I am in, Just Breathe.  This is an anthology to benefit, To Write Love On Her Arms.  To Write Love On Her Arms, is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope & finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide.

* * *

Grounded

What is normal because I know I’m certainly not it.

Just stepping outside my front door leaves me wrecked.

My life used to be incomparable too what it is now.

Happiness and love filled my days and nights with joy.

Now it’s just panic, fear and crippling anxiety.

A constant battle to keep GROUNDED.

* * *

Teaser

Have you ever felt like you’re an outsider looking in on your life? It’s how I feel every day. I have something called anxiety. It’s because of a past traumatic experience—well, that’s what the doctors said anyway. They gave me these little white, round tablets and sent me on a course to learn how to overcome it: something called cognitive behavioral therapy. It was interesting, and I learned a lot, but for me, it was utterly useless. I still have anxiety, and I don’t think it’s ever going to go away. Anxiety isn’t just something you ‘get over’ with a sound night’s sleep, or you can just ‘pull yourself out of’ as people often say to me. It’s ingrained in my mind; in every pore of my body.  And, just like now, as I try to take a step out of my front door on what is a particularly bad day, it is completely debilitating.

My knuckles are white as snow as they grip tight to the wooden frame of my doorway. ‘You can do this,’ I tell myself. ‘You’ll be fine. There’s nobody around to see you and laugh at you. Nobody’ll hurt you.’ My heart rate accelerates; I can feel it almost beating out of my chest. Thump, thump, thump. Ouch, it hurts. My palms are sweaty and start slipping on the door frame, which I grip hold of for dear life. This is just crazy. Next, the world begins to spin. I’m dizzy and disorientated. How can I be this weak? How can I be this much of a freak? I force my feet forward, but my legs turn to jelly. They’re barely holding me up. Last of all comes the nausea, I want to vomit. Many times, in the past, I have. Supermarkets, doctors’ offices, even walking down the street when someone has looked in my direction and smiled at me, I’ve opened my mouth and brought up the contents of whatever meal I’ve just eaten. If there’s anything going to bring on more anxiety, it’s people gawking at you while you stand in a pile of your own sick.

 

 

* * *

Things are hard right now lovelies, every time I am almost caught up, something else happens.  I can only hope my mom can heal without complication and I can get back to writing. I can’t wait to share with you more about this anthology though, stay tuned as I have more coming!

Teaser Wednesday! ‘Island Captive’ by Jane Henry

Sep 5, 2018 | , | 0 Comments

There has been a lot of chaos here at the new house. New fridge, then replacement fridge. Cleaninnggggggg. Building furniture. Unpacking boxes (omg so many boxes). Getting ready for dogs, getting Maverick and Bailey!! Getting in trouble with the HOA because of the old homeowners. Ant infestations. Trying to still do day job work while also tackling the insane task of having anxiety in a house that is utter chaooossssss!!! So much that I almost forgot to share this, but how could I not??  Jane Henry just had a release last week and I can’t wait to dive into it!

* * *

Island Captive

I was hired to apprehend a monster – a Dom who’d been sentenced to life for killing his submissive. I’ve seen what he’s capable of, and the images will haunt me forever. I swore I’d stop at nothing to put him behind bars.

But then our plane back to the States crashes.

We are the only two survivors.

And the monster will make me wish I’d died along with the rest of them…

 

* * *

Teaser

She hisses when her spanked ass comes in contact with the rough fabric on my jeans. Tipping one finger under her chin, I lift her eyes to mine. “Are you going to do what I say now?”

She glares at me and I see a flash of something I’ve never seen in her eyes before. Is it vulnerability? Something about being taken over my lap brought out the little girl in her. Tears glitter in her eyes, her lips pointing down in a frown.

“Fuck you,” she hisses.

I clearly haven’t broken her. I almost put her back over my knee. But no. Spanking is only one of many tools I have.

I gently push her off my lap and let her fall to her knees on the floor. I leave her panties on. I enjoy seeing them bunched up around her ankles as I force her onto her knees in front of me.

“I told you if you didn’t watch that mouth, I’d find another use for it,” I say, reaching for my zipper. The anger momentarily fades in her eyes, and they widen almost comically.

With her hands cuffed in front, still on her knees, she’s given no choice. I control this situation.

My cock is rock hard after spanking her. Causing pain like that always awakens the sadist in me, the one who yearns to cause pain and discomfort. Memories flash before me when I let my mind wander, the pain I’ve inflicted over the years burned into my mind like a scorching brand on flesh. I’ll never erase those memories from my mind.

“Open your mouth,” I order, fisting her hair and drawing her head back. Her mouth parts open and she stares at me. I lean in and rasp against her ear. “And now, you’ll show me how to use that mouth. Do anything funny, and I’ll make you wish you hadn’t. Is that clear?”

She gives the faintest nod of her head.

She knows I’ve left her little choice but to do what she’s told. She also knows if I wanted to, I could have her spread eagled on that bed, taking my cock.

But not now. Not yet. Not until she begs.

I remove my cock, and slide it into her warm, wet mouth. Her eyes widen in surprise, then go half-lidded as she tentatively suckles.

I haven’t had sex in so long, I have to stifle a sigh. It feels so fucking good.

But this is about gaining control, not losing it, and I can’t let her see how her little mouth around my cock unravels me.

“Good girl,” I say, guiding her head with my fist in her hair, shoving it back and forth so her head bobs between my legs. “That’s a very good girl.”

I reach down and tweak her nipples while she sucks, making her moan and squirm. I knead them in my hand, palm them, then give lazy little pinches that make the buds harden and peak. Her eyes close and she sucks harder. I release one breast, grab her hair, and bob her head faster, fucking her mouth with savage thrusts of my hips. She gags, and when she opens her eyes, they water.

Maintaining eye contact, I keep a hold of her hair, pulling it from time to time to guide her mouth on my cock. I’m drunk on this, and I need to come. “You like this?” I ask her. “You like being a slut for your sir?” Another sharp thrust of my hips and she gags, pitching forward, inhaling deeply through her nose. But she can’t help the little moan she releases around my cock.

Fuck yes. Jesus Christ, this feel so fucking good.

When I’m just on the verge of coming I pull out, release her hair, swing it in front and wrap it around my cock. I fist my swollen cock in my hand, watching her eyes go wide when she looks at the large length.

“You stay there,” I rasp. “You watch me come. I’ll mark you, Nadine. Mark you as mine.”

* * *

Holy shit island captive sounds HOT! If I ever unpack my house and organize my office, I am digging into this one asap!  I hope you read it and tell me what you think, lovelies, get your finger ready and #oneclick now!

I now own a house, things have been moved and now there are so many boxes to unpack.  Things have been so crazy, kiddo has started kindergarten, and I pick up my dogs next weekend, but when I saw this I knew I had to make time to share it.  Tell me what you think!

Blaze

Lia:
Here’s what I know: Firemen are nicer than cops.
More predictable. They have that same hero desire but it burns brighter.
They’re not quite as power-hungry or controlling. Except for the captain.
They call him Blaze and he’s got a streak of controlling cop for sure.
It’s a trait that unfortunately makes my knees go weak in a boss.
Especially a beefy fire captain boss.

Blaze:
Having smoking hot Lia Burke in my firehouse might be the death of me.
I can’t stand the other guys ogling her. They are not exactly PC.
It’s locker room talk around here twenty-four seven.
I swear I’m going to have a sexual harassment claim on my hands in less than a month.
And I’ll probably be the guy who crosses the line first.

He lifts his chin toward an open door. “The bedroom’s in there. I want you to go in, shut the door, and take off all your clothes but your panties. If you need to use the restroom, do that first. Then kneel in the corner and wait for me.”
The flutters in my belly surge, my whole pelvic floor lifts and squeezes. This is really happening.
He’s serious.
Part of me wants to run for the door as fast as I can.
But I’m no chicken.
And besides, I want this.
It’s way more than a curiosity. Way beyond seeing what makes the captain tick. This is for me. When he mentioned punishment, something I never knew was inside me woke up. It was like he was speaking a secret language to me.
And yes, absolution for my sins sounds wonderful.
So does having it delivered by the sexy captain.
“Yes, sir.” I walk on wobbly knees to the bedroom and shut the door. This room is like the rest of the place. Clean. Comfortable. Simple.
I feel like I’m at the doctor’s office, where you strip as fast as you can because the thought of not being in the appropriate garb when the doctor comes back is embarrassing.
I want to get this right.
Do whatever Blaze asks of me.
And yeah, the kneeling gave me pause. But only for a second. And then it turned me way the hell on.
I take off my clothes and fold them up. In the corner, I see he’s put a small pillow on the floor.
It’s so freaking thoughtful, my chest tightens. Heart pounding, I drop to my knees on it, facing the juncture of the two walls.
Blaze comes in and shuts the door. I listen for his footsteps, but they don’t come to me, they head toward the bed.
“Come here, little girl.”
I stand up, heat burning my cheeks. It’s one thing to play sexy cock tease and goad him into spanking me at the station. It’s quite another to be called on the carpet this way. The fact that I’m almost completely naked and he’s fully dressed makes it all the more squirmy, which I’m sure is his intent.
Still, he’s warm. Almost inviting. He spreads his knees wide and reaches for me, pulling me to stand between them. He cups my ass in his hands, kneading possessively.
“Do you know what a safe word is?”
I nod.
“I need a yes, sir.”
“Yes, Daddy.”
His lips twitch. “What’s yours, baby?”
I nibble my lip. “Um… firetruck.”

Happy Surprise Release Day!

Aug 20, 2018 | , | 0 Comments

Life has been crazy for me. My mom’s health isn’t great, as you know from my last post, I closed on my new house, I am adopting dogs and kiddo has started school!  Even with all of that, I can’t just sit still so I may have dropped a surprise release? #SorryNotSorry

A few months ago I updated the covers of The Rite, The Invitation and Reunited. They looked so unloved, I felt they needed that boost.  With everyone loving the covers, I thought these books just HAD to have their own boxset and when I saw the cover, I knew exactly what to name it.

 

Sometimes you can’t fight attraction, no matter how deviant it may be.

In this naughty collection everyone has their deviant desires, secret fantasies, and wicked attractions that tempt them into the unknown.

Whether it’s a private party where a good girl gets the chance to bring her dark side out to play, or a high school reunion where a second chance at the love of her life gets even better when his best friend wants to play too – The Invitation and Reunited will give you all the kinky menage romance you can handle!

And if you’re feeling extra daring, the twisted novella The Rite brings together danger, dark lust, and a magical HEA to take you through the darkness and into the bright light of love.

I hope you pick it up, it is such a great collection of stories and it is the FIRST TIME these stories are available in print!

 

Will you see me?  I will be at Show Me Your Books in Kansas City September 7 and 8 and I want to see you!  I will have lots of books and swag, I want you to go home with an armful.  If you haven’t planned on coming, change those plans now!
