<div style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: times new roman, serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Alexandra Kamin is everywoman. At 42, she has a loving family, terrific children, a great career with a superlative income, a gorgeous face with a terrific figure, and a loving boyfriend. Most impressive is that she is in complete control of every ambit of her life. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: times new roman, serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: times new roman, serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Where do you go when you are at the top? </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: times new roman, serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: times new roman, serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">ORIGIN takes you back to the beginning… the beginning of Alexandra’s life in America, the beginning of the truest of love affairs, and the beginning of an entrepreneurial life. Through a series of flashbacks and conversations, Alexandra explains every nuance that made this beautiful family a dynasty that you want to root for. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: times new roman, serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: times new roman, serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Schooling, work, child rearing, and family affairs are all under Alexandra’s Order are all accounted for as the years go by. GNO, love affairs and the truest of loyalties are best second time around.</span><br />

<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“NIIIIICCCCEEEE!”
Alexandra bellowed stepping into the “apartment.” This was really
something.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“You’re impressed?” The
svelte blonde laughed, allowing Alexandra to walk through and take it all in.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“Had I known it would be like
this, I would have admitted myself into a psychiatric facility a long time
ago!” Alex was making conversation. Her mind was too busy assessing
the place.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">She was standing in a two-story
duplex. It was a “New” building, on the West side of New York City
overlooking the Hudson River. The building was entirely made of
glass. Inside the apartment, everything was appointed in tones and
textures of white. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“It’s not too late you
know.” The blonde answered, using exactly the same tone. “I have
friends who run sanatoria and “well-centers” in Connecticut … and in
California, by the surf. There’s one in Los Cabos too. They are all
luxurious. Plenty of fancy things and gardens and pool-sides. I
could make arrangements.”</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“I’m soooo in!” Alexandra
admitted. “Where do I sign up, Doc!? Do I lie on this
couch?” She asked, pointing toward a white, tufted, leather
couch. Alex was trying to analyze how someone was brilliant enough to
design it. It was definitely modern, but it still had enough “old
world” comfort that you could just lounge on it to read or watch TV. And
this leather... it was just... soft, and supple and inviting. “Wait did
we get a diagnosis on me already?”</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“Well sure, didn’t your friends
already decide that you are depressed and need to be cured? Why else
would you be seeing a psychiatrist?” The blonde asked, laughing.
She came into the sitting area, and sat down in one of the white lounge
chairs. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“Right.” Alex
agreed. She sat in the chair opposite her, although they were both facing
the outside. The Hudson River was playing with the sunlight and the water
was bouncing the rays in such a way that it looked like it was generating the
sparkles. “So, uhm... how do we do this?”</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“Cure you?” The blonde was
laughing, and Alex smirked at her, rolling her eyes. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“Relax. This is for you
Alexandra. There is no pattern. Want some water or iced tea or
something?”</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“Water would be great.”
Alexandra said, though her mind was more into photographing this room. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The details were
extraordinary. The room was “albino”. That seemed to be its
strength. Someone specifically made it -- not devoid of color, really --
but purposefully white. It was rich in its whiteness. The walls, and
there were many, although, technically, the whole place was “open”, were of
different materials. Some walls were Venetian or marbleized stucco.
Some were pure Carrera marble, with just the veining showing through.
Some were sueded, and some had mother-of-pearl wall coverings. But
everything was white. Not cream... but white. And nothing was in
contrast with anything. The hard and soft surfaces all melded. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The ceiling-to-floor windows had
no treatments. Large, ornate “boxes” that served as moldings (with
mother-of-pearl textures) obviously held shades that could be let down by means
of a remote control. There was one, enormous, Chihuly chandelier.
It was white, too. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“Do all psychiatrists’ offices
look like this?” Alexandra joked, sort of.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">“No, actually. I’m trying
a new experiment with you.” The good doctor said.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hector Sanchez has just finished his MBA and wants to make his mark in the world of business. After working as an assistant for members of The Mansion for the past few years, he’s ready to part ways and strike out on his own. The problem is, The Mansion isn’t ready to let him go just yet. Stacey Corsair is a former stripper who is stuck in a bad relationship with her boss. She is tough as nails and yet allows herself to be used and abused just in order to survive. She longs to find a man who is truly deserving of her love and devotion. When Hector enters her club one night, she wonders if he is that man. The Mansion makes Hector an offer he can’t refuse—membership in The Mansion—but requires that he first prove himself in business and then provide a gift to them as a sign of loyalty. Stacey might be that perfect gift, but is she willing to be trained as a submissive? And will she agree to serve The Mansion anyway? Plus, is Hector capable of giving up the woman he now loves, just for membership?<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Abandoned by her birth parents and ignored by her adoptive family, Maddy Page believes she is unlovable. She only allows herself to dream of falling in love. That changes when she meets MJ; handsome and kind, MJ penetrates Maddy's defenses. Maddy soon finds herself confiding in MJ like she has with no one else, revealing secrets even her closest friends don't know. He makes her feel safe--a feeling she's never experienced except in her dreams.
When Maddy witnesses MJ disappear and reappear in thin air, she realizes she might have been wrong about him. He could be dangerous--maybe even a killer. Determined to uncover the truth of who--or what--MJ is, Maddy ignores her instinct to run. But she soon realizes that getting close to MJ could cost more than a broken heart--it could cost Maddy her soul.</div>

My entire body pulses in the wake of his touch. His words “if you were mine” keep circling around in my head, and with each rotation, something inside me grows. He makes me feel happy and less broken. I feel I could take on the world as long as he’s beside me. Whatever he is, I don’t care. I’ve never felt anything like this, and I’ll go to Hell and back to keep it. Regardless of what happens to me, I have to protect him. I have to keep him safe, always.
He grins and squeezes my hand again. My body responds with such intensity, I almost feel as if I were floating. I don’t want it to ever stop. I want to stay strong. I want to be brave. I want to feel safe. He gives me all of that. I want to hold him forever, even if it’s only his hand.
“Tomorrow,” he says, pulling me from my thoughts. “I’ll find a way to see you.”
“Promise?”</div>

All I want now is to be near her—but that could be the very thing that kills her.
“If you care for her, you’ll leave this house and never see her again. If she dies and she’s unknown to Heaven, that’s it. This otherworldly girl will either be sentenced to Hell or
cease to exist. Can you face eternity knowing you brought that fate to her?”
All the air rushes out of my body as the weight of her life once again rests on my soul. I turn back to her, memorizing as much as I can about her—the way her soft arms wrap
around her torso, the color of her eyes that match the emerald gemstone still in my pocket, and soft pink lips I never got to touch.
Goodbye, my Maddy. I stand and find the strength to walk out the door and leave the best thing that has ever happened to me.</div>

My heart flutters. I really do like MJ. I blush and pop a few grapes into my mouth. As ecstatic as that makes me feel, I still don’t know, fully, if I can trust him—not until I know what he is. “So … you still haven’t answered my original question. Government experiment, superhero, or something else. Which is it?”
He sighs, shaking his head. “I wasn’t created in a lab somewhere.”
“What about an alien?”
“No.”
“Mutant?”
“No.”
“Warlock?”
“Wouldn’t that fall under the category of magician?”
“Magicians are usually fake. Warlocks and witches could be real. So are you one?”
“No.”
Stumped, I rest my chin on my hand and huff in exasperation.
“Give up?” he asks.
“No. But I’ve made some good progress on my list.”
“You have a list?”
“Uh huh.” I toss a few more grapes into my mouth.
“Of what you think I might be?”
I nod.
“I don’t suppose you could just let it go?”
I narrow my eyes at him. “If I did a bunch of crazy things that you couldn’t explain, would you let it go?”
He smirks and shakes his head. “You win.</div>

Laurie Wetzel has always had a passion for writing, but it wasn’t until a New Years Resolution in 2011 that she finally shared her lifelong dream of being an author with her husband. He read the very first draft of Unclaimed and gave her the words she needed to hear, “This is what you need to be doing.” Three years later the first book in the Unclaimed series was published with the second book expected to be out in 2015. Laurie lives in Mankato, MN, with her husband and two young sons. When she’s not writing, working, or spending time with her family, she’s either reading, running, or catching up on her favorite shows on Netflix. For updates on the Unclaimed series as well as other works in progress, feel free to check her out online!</div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">A dark cloud hovers over Lady Lily Montgomery. Her future is no longer her own. She is betrothed to a man she cannot recall meeting, and worse; many close to her have perished under mysterious circumstances. For her protection, her guardian sends her away from London to stay with his friend, Lord Duncan Cavanaugh, the Earl of Westbrook. Duncan is not convinced Lady Lily is a virtuous victim and steels himself to unearth what lies beneath her beauty and boldness. Does she orchestrate the tragic deaths of those close to her or is someone covering his or her tracks too well? He vows to solve this deadly mystery and to ignore her charming spell. As he begins to uncoverthe truth, Duncanmust decide if Lily is an angel of misfortune or the devil in disguise.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">An arm was raised near him and he reached for the arm as he spun and pushed the intruder into the wall. He heard a gasp as he shoved the intruder into the wall and pressed his body forward holding the arm above him. His body shifted against surprisingly feminine curves. Shifting, he looked down to see Lily's eyes widen in fear as he held her arm above her head and the dagger at her throat. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">He stepped away immediately. "Lily! What the hell are you doing?"</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">She looked down and replied, "I heard a noise."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">"You should have woken me and not come down here by yourself," he whispered harshly.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Even in the dim moonlight he could feel her penetrating stare. She shifted the candlestick she carried and placed it under her arm as she rubbed the wrist that he had just held. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">"I wanted to be certain someone was there before I alerted anyone. A strange noise should not instantly cause alarm," she scoffed.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">"Did I hurt you?" Duncan asked as he watched her continue to rub her wrist.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">She shook her head and looked away from him again, as if embarrassed. Duncan's eyes adjusted to the dim light and he looked over her to make sure she was uninjured. He gaped. She wore a white nightgown, but her entire form was visible through the nearly transparent material. The perfection of her form did not surprise him, but seeing her nipples harden and the dark triangle between her legs was about to undo him. She was an angel who could tempt the devil himself. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">He gently placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "Stay here."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">His voice sounded much harsher than he intended, but he watched Lily shake her head.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">"No. I will be safer with you."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Duncan opened his mouth to protest, but his stomach tightened at the confidence of her words. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">"Fine. Stay behind me and try to be quiet."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">He moved forward and then reached behind him as he felt her delicate hand move into his. Staying close to the wall, they moved together towards the kitchen. They went behind a wall near the library and he saw someone moving towards them. He put his finger to his lips to signal Lily to be silent as he crotched down and then leapt on the person, slamming them down on the ground. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">The man cried out, "Villain!"</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Then the man swung and struck Duncan on the side of the face.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">His cheek stung as he recognized his butler's voice. "Simon, you fool, it's me!"</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">"Oh, my lord! Beg your pardon, sir!"</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Duncan moved off Simon and they stood up together. "What the hell are you doing?"</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Simon replied, "I heard a noise and came to investigate."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">"So did I. What did you find?"</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">"Nothing, but the back door was open and I am certain it was closed before. I was going to search the grounds when I heard another noise in the hallway, which I assume now, was you."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Duncan nodded as he saw Simon gape as he turned towards Lily. "My lady!"</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">If Duncan had a coat he would have taken it off and thrown it over her. Simon looked at Duncan obviously at a loss for further words and then removed his robe. Handing the robe to Lily, he said, "Please, for you."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Taking the robe from his butler, she blushed and said, "Thank you." </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Duncan said, "Simon, check the grounds. I will take Lady Montgomery back up to her room and I will check on Eleanor."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Simon nodded and walked away from them. Duncan turned and looked at Lily. "We should go."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">She shook her head. "Wait."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">"Must you always challenge me," he asked harshly.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">"I just think you need some ice for your cheek."<br />
She gently touched his face where Simon had struck him and then pulled her hand back swiftly as if she touched fire. Glancing over him, she appeared uneasy before she stepped back.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">He took a deep breath and said, "I will take care of it later, but I appreciate your concern."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Duncan took her elbow to lead her upstairs. As much as he would enjoy her administrations, he needed to get her as far away from him as possible. He opened her door and did a quick check of her bedroom. Satisfied no one was in the room, he stopped in the doorway as he felt her hand gently touch his arm. She whispered, "Thank you."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Turning to face her, he sighed before he said, "If you hear a noise in the future, please wake me or one of the staff." He stepped back slightly into the hallway. "Also, Lily, please remember to wear a robe if you venture out in the middle of the night."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">She narrowed her eyes as she placed one fist on her hip. "Certainly, as long as you remember to wear a shirt!"</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">She glared at him just before she slammed the door in his face.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Wilde Forever The first book in the WILDE WOMEN series </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">After
an ugly divorce, Brynn Baron-Wilde swore off men and created a new life
in a quaint upstate touristy town where she runs a successful bakery and
tearoom. Brynn has everything mapped out and she’s got no time for
distractions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And then along came Jackson Merrill – former Army
medic turned talented renovation specialist. Jax enters Brynn’s
well-ordered life and proceeds to shake up her world. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">He’s a bit
on the dented and dinged side after his military service and she’s
dealing with a stealth attack from her grandmother who’s added
manipulative clauses to her will that threaten Brynn’s hold on her house
and business. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Sometimes fate and destiny have a sense of humor
along with some questionable timing. Are these two destined to be
together or will her reluctance and his issues keep them apart? When a
stunning turn of events complicates things even more, things sure do get
interesting – meddling parents and all.</span></div>

Suzanne
Halliday writes what she knows and what she loves – sexy adult
contemporary romance with strong men and spirited women. Her love for
creating short stories for friends and family has developed into a
passion for writing romantic fiction with a sensual edge. She finds the
world of digital, self-publishing to be the perfect platform for sharing
her stories and also for what she enjoys most of all – reading. When
she’s not on a deadline you’ll find her loading up on books to devour.</div>

Currently
a wanderer, she and her family divide their time between the east and
west coast, somehow always managing to get the seasons mixed up. When
not digging out from snow or trying to stay cool in the desert, you can
find her in the kitchen, 80’s hair band music playing in the background,
kids running in and out, laptop on with way too many screens open,
something awesome in the oven, and a mug of hot tea clutched in one
hand.</div>

AUTHOR BIO</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
J. A. Huss likes to write new adult books that make you think and keep you guessing. Her favorite genre to read is space opera, but since practically no one reads those books, she writes new adult science fiction, paranormal romance, contemporary romance, urban fantasy, and books about Junco (who refuses to be saddled with a label).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has an undergraduate degree in horses, (yes, really–Thank you, Colorado State University) and a master’s degree in forensic toxicology from the University of Florida. She used to have a job driving around Colorado doing pretty much nothing but shooting the breeze with farmers, but now she just writes, runs the New Adult Addiction and Clean Teen Reads Book Blogs, and runs an online science classroom for homeschoolers.</div>

She didn’t expect to run into him:</span><br />
Malcolm Cage.<br />
The famous billionaire bad boy is the king of Club Luxe. Every Friday night, he reigns supreme over untold sinful pleasures in his underground kingdom. His one rule? He never participates and only watches—until he sees Victoria.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">EXCERPT </span></h1>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; mso-bidi-font-family: TrebuchetMS;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Angrily, she reached for the bottle of shampoo and squeezed
a liberal amount into her hand. She set it back on the shower caddy and
lathered her hair with the softly scented gel. Almost instantly, she began to
feel better. The sweat that had collected throughout the night was washing away
along with some of her bitterness. The soothing feeling of her hair becoming
clean was only surpassed by the feeling of her fingers kneading her scalp. She
sighed a little at the feeling and her mind drifted to Malcolm’s touch.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
“Stupid, selfish man!” she muttered to herself as she rinsed
her hair.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
“I resemble that remark,” a dark voice said from behind her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Victoria spun around to face the intruder and her eyes
narrowed at the sight of Malcolm holding open the glass door to the shower. His
chest and face were partly obscured by the steamy fog from the hot water, and
he looked unearthly. “What are you doing here?” she asked with a hint of dread
in her voice.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
“I couldn’t stay away from you,” he said as he took a step
closer to her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
She gulped down some air and crossed her arms over her
breasts unconsciously. His naked muscles rippled as he stepped forward, and her
body quivered at the sight of him. She could feel his eyes wandering over her
and she felt hot under his gaze. “Malcolm,” she whispered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
He didn’t give her much chance to speak as his arms quickly
wrapped around her waist. His lips crashed into hers like a tidal wave, and she
was so caught up in it that she couldn’t breathe. She was drowning in his kiss
and loved every moment of it. His passion inundated her with more force than
the expensive shower jets, and bathed her far more thoroughly. Her arms pulled
him closer to her and she slowly traced her fingers up his back.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
“Victoria,” he groaned in agony. “I need to have more of
you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
His words sent shivers up her spine. Tears pricked the back
of her eyes as she began to feel the tiniest twinge of hope. “I need you too,”
she whispered, clinging to his neck.<span style="font-family: TrebuchetMS; mso-bidi-font-family: TrebuchetMS;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span> </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Jesse picked Asia up on time as usual. They drove back to the park where they had discovered a favorite picnic spot, just off the hiking trail. They had to tramp through tall grass to reach it, but the same grass gave them privacy. Not that the park was crowded. Cloudless as the sky was, the temperature hadn’t even hit fifty.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Asia reached into the picnic basket. Jesse had packed sandwiches, a big thermos of coffee, and three fleece blankets. He spread one on the ground, wrapped one around Asia’s shoulders, passed her a ham and cheese sandwich on a roll—no seeds, extra mayo—and scooted next to her. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He threw the last cover around both of them. “So what’d you do all morning?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">She bit into her sandwich. “Came up here for a quick jog. Froze my ass off.” </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Alone?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Yes. I <i>am</i> capable of taking care of myself.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Jesse held a hand up in surrender. His mouth opened as if he might say more, but he took a swig of coffee instead.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">When they finished eating, he brushed a crumb from the corner of her mouth, flashing the crooked, one-dimpled grin that always brought a warm sensation to the bottom of her belly. If he were a poker player, that would be his tell, and she knew exactly what was going through his mind. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Putting the empty thermos down, she shifted to fit a little more snugly against his side and tilted her face up to his. “Thanks. This was perfect.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He leaned down, softly kissing around her mouth, over her cheeks, and down her neck. “I missed you today.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Mmhmm…”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He snaked a hand behind her back to pull her closer, teasing her with his butterfly kisses. Somehow, he rearranged the blankets around them. The next thing she knew, he’d lowered her to the ground beneath them.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I really missed you.” His voice rasped.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Their kiss intensified, and soon, his fingers ventured down to the dip at her waist, around to her belly.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">She stopped breathing.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">His fingers traveled up her ribcage, stopping at her bra strap, stroking just under it, waiting for a signal. When she didn’t protest, even slower than before, he brushed his hand over one breast.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">An electric current crackled through every nerve of her body. She had an impulse to arch her back, pressing that electric spot into his palm. But her brain shrieked to pull back.</span></div>

<span style="color: #4f81bd; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"></span> </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Can’t the Guard protect me?” I guessed.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He shot me a look. “Not as well as I can.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">But I took my opportunity to say what had been on my mind.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Then <i>turn </i>me.” My face was serious. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He looked furiously in my direction. For a moment his face contorted with disgust.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I insisted. “You are the undead, they can’t kill me if I am like you.” I had a point. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He grabbed me hard and thrust his nose to mine as if he might kiss me; I was tantalized by the thought. But instead he whispered, “You don’t have any idea what you are suggesting.” He let me go.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I don’t care,” I protested. I didn’t. We had bonded. I couldn’t explain it but I knew I belonged in his world, no matter the cost. I’d felt more alive with him in the last few days than I ever had.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He turned, his face furrowed.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Please, I think there is a reason you saved me.” I had thought about it during class. “Maybe I was always meant to be like you.” I was pleading, I hoped he would agree. It wasn’t for his sake, I wanted to be changed regardless of the situation.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“No, it can’t be done.” He started packing my things regardless of his refusal.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Perhaps he had other reasons for not wanting to change me. “Listen, is she your girlfriend?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">His packing slowed. “She is most certainly not my girlfriend, or anything else.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“What was that about then?” I tried not to sound hurt.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“What was that argument with Jack about?” he replied.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I don’t care for Jack.” I never did. I wouldn’t have thrown myself off a bridge if I had.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“—But you care about me?” he questioned.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">My chest fluttered. “Yes,” I answered shifting awkwardly. We faced each other. My chest rose and fell. I could feel my cheeks burn. We stood nose to nose, I thought he may kiss me, but he pulled away and shook his head, frustrated.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“No, you only think you do.” He sounded like he was trying to convince himself of the fact.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">But it still hurt. “So why protect me?” I narrowed my eyes. “Take me back to the park and kill me now. Do what you didn’t do.” I jutted my chin as my eyes misted. “Let me jump.” It wasn’t an empty threat. “I’ll be just another body.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Fine.” He grabbed my hand in his cold palm. I dropped the clothes I held as he pulled me along. We passed a few curious students and I avoided their faces as I stubbornly went along with him into the park. He stopped halfway to the bridge and clasped my face, his palm resting on my neck. I leant my face into it. Would he call my bluff?</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You have killed before.” I gave him a doe-eyed stare. Maybe this was it.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">His face was inches from mine in the dark. “You would like me to say that, wouldn’t you?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Aren’t you hungry for something real?” I parted my lips, slightly. “I trust you.” I sounded desperate, because I was. When he was so close, all I wanted was more time with him.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He sized me up. “No,” he finally refused as he broke away, turning his face from mine.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Why did you save me, if you usually take lives?” I searched his face.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Suddenly he was before me again, slowly leaning his face to my ear, achingly close, he whispered, “Yes, I have killed. Are you scared?” Fangs showed themselves as his breath quickened, his nose wrinkled angrily.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I stepped up. “No,” I whispered.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You should be.” He turned grimacing, struggling with himself.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Why not kill me?” I insisted, my voice sweet. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He steadied his gaze. “I don’t like willing participants.” He glowered. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“How do you know I’ll remain willing?” My face hardened. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">A sad smile escaped his lips. “I used to kill a lot, is that what you want to hear?” He hit a tree and a chunk of bark broke away. “If you were lucky we’d keep you around, we’d have used you.” His voice was low.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I tried not to look scared but my eyes fluttered. “How many?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“What?</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“How many were there?” I bravely met his eyes. “How many did you kill, in cold blood?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Their blood was warm,” he corrected. “I used to eat hundreds, their bodies went cold beneath me.” His lips curled back to reveal fangs. “They suffered as I sucked the life from their veins. I’m a predator, Farren. We are deadly animals. We would take over this God forsaken earth, but then who would feed us?” he scoffed. “Every night we’d feast on girls like you and throw them away like used gum.” His honey eyes were cold, scathing.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Then why spare me?” I leant towards him; the sensual air between us made my heart race.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He gave me a long look. “Because you want it.”</span></div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">By my fourth attempt at struggling and pushing, I emerged victorious when I wiggled out from under him. “Yes,” I groaned, rolling away. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Funny, I’d pictured my first time with a guy on top a bit more romantic.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Climbing to my feet, I snapped at Chewie. “Thanks for going on vacation! He could’ve hurt me! All you did was bark, you big doofus.” </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">His tail wagged slowly, and then stopped, head bent down. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Remorse replaced my anger. When Mom found him wandering the property nine years ago—starving and obviously abandoned—she took him in and made him the family pet. Despite his huge size, Chewie’s always been gentle and loving. I couldn’t remember the last time I heard him growl.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Sorry, boy, I’m mad at me, for putting myself in that situation.” Feeling bad, I scratched his head. “So what do we do now?” I stared down at the stranger’s body sprawled out across the snow. “Call the police? Leave him here?” </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I walked around him, taking in his hat, the leather belts crisscrossed around his vest, the long gloves. Every item was from another time period. It was as if he didn’t belong here. But he reminded me of someone. <i>Who?</i> The name was almost there, in the center of my mind. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">A giggle fit took hold as I thought of my favorite line from <i>The Princess Bride</i>. “Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya!” I even ended with an imaginary sword thrust.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I laughed so hard I wiped tears away. Chewie sat between us, his head volleying back and forth from one to another. I’d had my fun. <i>What do I do?</i></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Why did this intoxicated, costumed guy have to wind up here? When I brushed snow off my coat, something caught my attention. Big, brown stains scattered across the front of my favorite Land’s End coat. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">My fingertips were also stained. “But I didn’t touch anything…” I mumbled, scanning the area. A quick glance at the drunk provided my answer. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Two buttons had slipped opened on his jacket, revealing both his vest and shirt cut up. Both garments were spotted just like mine. <i>What the? </i>I sniffed before touching a section. It was odorless but sticky and slightly thick with the same consistency as blood. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Curious, I kneeled beside him, undid some more buttons, and slid the materials apart. My fingers itched to explore him. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">And I might have, if it weren’t for the bottom-half of the shirt soaked with the same odd liquid. The something-is-wrong meter from yesterday deafened me now. I inhaled deeply, let the cold air into my lungs, hoping it would calm me, and released it. My hand shook as I yanked up the shirt.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The next morning, Jackson accompanied me to the precinct. It was his day off and he was going to help me go through Jessica’s files. We were met with questioning looks by the officers in the main lobby because I was walking so stiffly and wearing long sleeves in eighty-degree weather. I knew those looks. They were the same faces the officers wore when they went to domestic dispute calls. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“It’s okay, honey.” Jackson reassured me. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I feel like they’re judging us.” I whispered. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“These guys have known me forever; they know I wouldn’t do anything like that to you.” Jackson replied quietly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Then we walked smack into his father. Samuel rushed us into his office closing the door behind him. “What’s going on?” He asked in an accusing tone.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Nothing…” I began.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“This doesn’t look like nothing.” Samuel said indicating my posture and the bruises that were peeking out under my sleeves. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Samuel, do you remember that case I keep in my desk; the Jessica Clayton Case?” I asked him.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Yes, but what does that have to do with my son abusing you?” </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Dad!” Jackson said standing up. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Jackson didn’t do this!” I said defensively. “Please…let me explain.” </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Samuel walked around the back of his desk and sat in the worn leather chair that he had used ever since he began working at the precinct. He eyed us suspiciously. “I’m listening.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You know how I see spirits? And how I’ve been using my gifts to help you solve cold cases?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Yes.” He answered.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“The spirit of Jessica Clayton has been following me for the past month. She has never been a nuisance and I actually kind of like her around. She is a gentle spirit; well she <i>was</i> a gentle spirit. The last few days, she has been showing me things that happened to her. Her husband, Steven, abused her; he was a violent, controlling man. Usually, when I get visions nothing happens, for some reason the injuries from Jessica’s visions are manifesting themselves on my body.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Can that happen?” Samuel asked incredulously.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Believe it or not, yes.” I answered in a small voice. “I’ve read about this in books, but it’s never happened to me before.” </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Why now?” Samuel asked. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“We don’t know.” Jackson replied taking my hand. “We need your help to diffuse any rumors about this. Can you do that?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I’ll do what I can.” Samuel promised. “But you know, this is a police precinct, and you know how the officers feel about abuse. Perhaps you should work this case from home?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“That will add fuel to the fire.” I answered. “They’ll think that Jackson beat me so bad that I couldn’t come to work.” </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“We’ll work this out.” Samuel said. He opened the drawer of his desk and handed Jackson a key. “This is the key to the tombs. If there’s any information on the case it will be down there.”</span></div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">At this he relaxed. “That’s okay. Frankenstein is the scientist who created the monster out of dead parts of others and reanimated it. He never gave him, the creature, a name.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Oh, that’s weird. Why not?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He shrugged, looking pensive. “I guess he just didn’t see him as alive. It repulsed him.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Are you alive?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He flicked his eyes from mine back down to the table. “I believe so.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You seem pretty alive to me.” I reached out and touched his hand, where he laid it out by his shake. It was cold, like he’d been holding onto the cup for a while. It prompted me to peer down and study his fingers. They were a deep pink. In fact, almost too pink from the coldness of the shake. Though his skin was rough and there were scars circling his wrists and down the top of his hand, he didn’t appear dead.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He watched me studying them before pulling away.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I <i>feel</i> alive. I guess it’s strange to think I was made from dead things.” He looked morose, like he was about to shut down again, and possibly run. I struggled to think up a way to prevent it. I wanted him to stay longer, for a long time. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“But, you <i>are </i>alive.” I missed the touch of his skin and I wanted to slide over to hug him. He looked like a lost soul who could use some sort of interaction. “How long have you been alone?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He seemed stunned, as though I’d read his mind. Maybe I had. I always did have a funny way of knowing how people felt. He was no different, so he had to be as alive as I was. As anyone eating in this diner right now.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Why would you ask me that?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You’ve been alone a long time, right? How long ago were you made?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He contemplated what he was going to say to me, and I could see the conflict flash in his eyes. I hoped he would tell me. I didn’t want him to stop talking, but it was like pulling teeth to get any words out of him.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He peered around before clasping his hands together, leaning on them with his elbows on the table. “I’ve been alive for over a century and a half. I’ve seen all the world wars and then some. I didn’t even have a name until I was thirty years old.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Who gave you your name?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He frowned, his face took on a darkened look as his thoughts tumbled into the past. “A woman named Cassiopeia.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">His reaction told me so many unsaid things and I scooted over, laying my hand on his arm.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Was she your wife?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">His face looked slightly surprised at my nearness, but he didn’t pull away. Instead he slowly turned to look me in the eyes. There was pain there, a great suffering. I hoped I hadn’t caused it, and I only wanted to wipe it away and make him smile again.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“She died.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I’m sorry.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He looked away and pushed his plate away. He was done eating. So was I.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“People die.” </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You’re immortal.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Yes,” He was shutting down again so I reached out to rub his arm and distract him.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I’m sorry. Look,” I pushed my hair out of my face and dropped my hand back down onto his. “Let’s go back to my place, or yours since you live so close. Which is really cool. I know you don’t want to talk about it, but you should. Let it out. I won’t judge. I swear.” Tracing the scars, I found this somewhat comforting, but he tensed up and looked like he wanted to run away. That was when I retreated and placed my hands in my lap. Maybe he was beyond reaching. I hoped not. I wanted to talk to him more, badly. It felt like a need that couldn’t be sated and it made me wonder why.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I picked at my nails, chipping off the old polish flake by flake. I had to do something. Anything to keep from sounding desperate. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I risked a peek up at Matthias and found the spark of amusement back in his eyes.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“I know you won’t judge me.” He motioned to the rest of the diners. “But they all do. No one can look at me and not think horrid things. There’s no escaping it and nowhere in the world where I can live without being scrutinized for these.” He pointed to the scars on his face, letting his finger slide down his cheek.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Even from across the way, a group of young girls were whispering and giggling, staring at him. I felt my rage grow and I wanted to hop out of the booth to rush and scream at them for being so insensitive. How dare they?</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Ignore them. From what I can tell, they know nothing about you.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He jerked, looking uncomfortable. I wondered if I said something off or the unwanted attention was too much for him.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Here’s your check. Anything else I can get you?” The waitress dropped off the check in front of him and he reached for his wallet.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“No thank you.” I held out my hand to him. “I can pay my part.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He shook his head and gave the waitress the check back with his money. “No, I got it.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“You don’t like ladies paying their way, do you?”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“It’s not that at all.” He peered at me and smiled. It made my heart jump. “Money is nothing to me. You need it more than I do.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I huffed and crossed my arms, not really sure what to think about that. “This is the feminist era you know.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He laughed and got to his feet before holding his hand out. “True. Come on. I think we have more to talk about, but not here.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.55pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I took his hand and studied him wondering if I’d lost my mind for falling for this guy so easily. It didn’t matter though, I was hooked. I had it bad and couldn’t run, even if I tried.</span></div>

<strong>my End</strong>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn’t take my eyes off her as the bullet tore through me, leaving me with nothing but the hope that I had done enough to save her. The darkness tried to engulf me—to brand me as its own and drag me to my fate.
<strong></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>my Darkness</strong>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Waking to see her tear-stained face above me was enough to make my heart stutter. I was alive and free from that place—but not from the toll it had taken on my mind and body. My story should have ended, but one woman kept standing in the way of that.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>my Strength</strong>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only way I could have her was to find a way to put the darkness to rest.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

“How many women did you have sex with while you were there?”
It was the third time Dr. Combs had asked me that question. And for the third time I wanted to avoid it.
I had just gotten out of that hell, and I still had the bullet hole in my chest to prove it, but it didn’t stop my boss on pushing the psychiatric evaluation.
Dr. Combs cleared her throat, and my jaw clenched.
I didn’t even want to admit the number to myself even though I could se every one of the girls in my head.
Kat, the red-headed braggart who thought she owned every man who walked into the retreat.
Gabby, the indignant curly haired brunette.
Raini a gorgeous but frail girl who was transferred in right after I went undercover. I had feared that one more night in Ross’ bed would kill her before her first week was up.
Alley, a blond sweetheart who belonged to Miles, my unconventional friend.
Silver, the girl who simultaneously ruined and saved me.
She was the only reason I was alive, and the only reason I had what was left of my soul—except she wasn’t real. Like my undercover alias, Kirk, she was forged from necessity and determination.
And somewhere out there Rose was learning to live her own life again.
At least that’s what I hoped. The day after I was shot in the raid on the “sex retreat”, my superiors had me transferred to another hospital and put under protective custody until they were sure I was safe.
I was fairly positive they were more concerned that any real threat to my life would come from me, since there were very few people who knew of my undercover involvement in the operation.
The only company I was allowed was Dr. Combs, my new shrink. I didn’t want a shrink. I wanted the woman who saved me—the only person who stood a chance of bringing me any kind of peace.
The woman I could never have.

<b>Synopsis:</b><br />
<div>
<div>
<em>Palace Hills</em>. The very name struck shivers down the spine of the affluent city of Goldendale.<br />
Unfortunately, eighteen-year-old Nina Sharman has no choice but to call the poverty-stricken neighborhood her new home.<br />
Life seems bleak until a chance meeting with Conner Hale changes her mind and captures her heart, leading her to believe that maybe Palace Hills wasn’t so bad after all.<br />
However, one tragic case of mistaken identity changes everything and leads to an event so horrifying that Nina believes she could never recover.<br />
Choosing to leave Conner behind, Nina vows never to return to Palace Hills again.<br />
Five years later, Nina has a new home, a new boyfriend and a new life. Yet, still haunted by the ghosts of her past, Nina finds she must return to Palace Hills to put an end to a nightmare, which has haunted her for years.<br />
Upon her return, one vital slip in judgement threatens to bring the life she had worked so hard to build to come crashing down.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">He leaned even closer, placed his hands on
the counter on either side of her to cage her in, all the while holding her
gaze. “No,” he said again, softer this time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">A spurt of panic flickered in her eyes. She
tried to duck out from under his arm but he blocked her easily, pinning her
hips with his own. Her head snapped up, those wide gray eyes filled with shock
as she felt his erection pressing into her belly. She jerked her eyes away,
swallowed again. “Let me go. Right now, Gage, I mean it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">She was strung so tight she was on the verge
of shattering. A volcano about to erupt. And God, he’d love nothing more than
to incinerate in the ensuing explosion with her. He wasn’t worried about her
hurting him. Whatever she could dish out, he could take it and more. “No.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">His calm tone acted like a trigger. With an
inarticulate sound of rage, she twisted and shoved at his shoulders. Gage
caught her wrists and quickly shifted her away from the counter, backed her up
against the kitchen wall and pinned her there with his weight. He had only a
moment for his brain to register the feel of her soft curves molded to him
before she began struggling, trying to shove him away. Not happening.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">He held her there, refusing to back down.
Her teeth were bared, eyes narrowed, breath coming in short gasps. Low, animal
sounds came from her throat as she fought and got nowhere. He could tell it
infuriated her more that he’d subdued her so easily, overpowered her with his
greater strength. Recognizing she couldn’t win, after a minute or two she
stilled, quivering with fury, every line of her luscious body rigid with anger
and outrage. With him so close she was forced to tilt her head back to look into
his face. The warm puffs of her uneven breaths bathed his skin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">“Fuck you, let me go,” she snapped, her
voice ragged, tight with emotion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">Hands holding her wrists on either side of
her head, he waited for her to calm down and meet his gaze. At last she did and
he could see the turmoil written there. All the anger and pain, the physical
need she was trying to hide from him. Her sweet citrus scent, intensified by
her increased body heat, swirled around him. He could get drunk on her so
easily. Just lean down and put his mouth to the rapidly thrumming pulse in her
neck, taste that soft, fragrant skin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">Holding her gaze, he let one heartbeat of
charged silence spread between them. Another. Letting her know without words
that he was fully capable of keeping her like this for as long as he wanted.
His body was primed, begging him to grab her, tear that tight black skirt and
top off her and force her to vent everything that was eating at her from the
inside, replace it with white-hot sexual release.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">The throb between his legs bordered on
painful. He shifted his hips against her and bit back a moan at the feel of her
against his erection, noting the way her pupils expanded and her nostrils
flared. The evidence of her arousal kicked his lust into high gear. Gage forced
himself to take a single, calming breath, waited until the roar in his ears
subsided. If this was the last time he got to have her, he was going to make it
one hell of a goodbye.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">Staring straight into her eyes, he released
her wrists and murmured, “Turn it loose.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">We stripped at the same time, both eager. I
wanted to see his body, to witness what he offered me, but it was dark in the
room. Then he kissed me back onto the bed, and there was no more time to
wonder. The cheap bedspread was rough and cool against my skin. His hands
stroked over my breasts and then played gently with my nipples.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">My body responded, turning liquid, but
something was wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">I’d had this problem before. Not everyone
wanted to play rough, but I was surprised that I’d misread him. His muscles were
hard, the pads of his fingers were calloused. I didn’t know how he could touch
me so softly. Everything about him screamed that he could hurt me, so why
didn’t he?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">I wanted him to have his nasty way with me,
but every sweet caress destroyed the illusion. My fantasy was to let him do
whatever he wanted with me, but not this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">“Harder,” I said. “I need it harder.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">Instead his hands gentled. The one that had
been holding my breast traced the curve around and under.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">I groaned in frustration. “What’s wrong?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">He reached down, still breathing heavily,
and pressed a finger lightly to my cunt, then stroked upward through the
moisture. I gasped, rocking my hips to follow his finger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">“You like this,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">Yes, I liked it. I was undeniably aroused
but too aware. I needed the emptiness of being taken. “I like it better rough.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">Colin frowned. My eyes widened at the
ferocity of his expression.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">In one smooth motion he flipped me onto my
stomach. I lost my breath from the surprise and impact. His left hand slid
under my body between my legs and cupped me. His right hand fisted in my hair,
pulling my head back. His erection throbbed beside my ass in promise. I wanted
to beg him to fuck me, but all I could do was gasp. He didn’t need to be told,
though, and ground against me, using my hair as a handle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">That small pain on my scalp was perfection,
sharp and sweet. Numbness spread through me, as did relief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">The pain dimmed. My arousal did too, but
that was okay. I was only vaguely aware of him continuing to work my body from behind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">I went somewhere else in my mind. I’d stay
that way all night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">At least that’s what usually happened. Not
this time. Instead I felt light strokes on my hair, my arms, my back. His cock
pulsed hot against my thigh, but he didn’t try to put it inside me, not in any
of the places it would almost fit. His hands on me didn’t even feel sexual. He
petted me, and I arched into his caress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">“Why did you stop?” I meant it to come out
demanding, but instead I sounded weak. I hated sounding weak, especially about
sex. He may be the one with the cock and the fists, but I called the shots. I
had to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">“Allie, shhh. It’s okay.” He was trying to
soothe me, and it was working. He turned me back over and began to kiss me,
still murmuring words against my lips. “I’ll give it to you. Don’t worry.
Relax.” More words than he’d spoken all night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">I was lost, my emotions all jumbled up from
my arousal and my high and subsequent low, at the mercy of this stranger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">Excerpt from Sensual Surrender

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">“I won’t miss it,” he said, taking his
planner and setting it down without looking at it. He stared at his laptop, his
fingers clacking away on the keys as he spoke. “Besides, you’re coming with me
to that one. I don’t know why you’re so stressed today.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">She bit her lip, trying to find the right
words. Impossible ones she just needed to get out. Maybe the silence was more
weighted than she realized because he looked up then, his blue eyes electric in
their intensity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">“You are going with me to that meeting?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">“Wyatt, I’ve enjoyed working for you more
than I can say.” She smoothed her hand down her skirt again, a stupid nervous
habit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">His expression went flat. “You’re not
quitting.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">She blinked at his forceful tone. “I
appreciate everything you did for me when I graduated.” He’d given her a job
right out of school. She’d just gotten her Master’s in Business Administration
and had been hungry to work. Landing a position with one of the richest men in
the country had been a dream come true. She worked her ass off, but he
compensated all his employees well and she loved what she did. Leaving this
position was one of the hardest decisions, but she knew she had to do it. Once
she told Kevin that she’d been fired—a tiny lie—she wouldn’t be able to help
him with whatever plan he had to rob the Serafina. This was the only way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">Frowning, Wyatt stood, pushing his chair
back before rounding his desk. Wearing a custom-made pinstriped suit, the tall
man with midnight black hair and electric blue eyes, that were so damn intense
as to be scary, was giving her all his focus. She didn’t like feeling as if she
were under a microscope, but stood her ground.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">Crossing his arms over his chest, he leaned
against the front of his desk and faced off with her. Even though he wasn’t as
tall as Jay, the man was certainly intimidating. She’d seen him use this glare
with business associates and even enemies before and had never thought to be on
the receiving end of one of his ‘looks’. “Are you giving your resignation?” he
asked quietly, disbelief threading through every word.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">Even though she wanted to stay strong, she
dropped her gaze and fished out the folded piece of paper she’d tucked in the
back of her skirt. It was slightly wrinkled as she handed it to him. “I’m sorry
that I can’t give you two weeks’ notice and if you won’t give me a reference I
completely understand. I hope that you will as I’ve enjoyed working here, but—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">“I’m not accepting your resignation,” he said
calmly, his bluntness taking her by surprise. She forced herself to meet his
gaze again. “Is this about you and Jay? Are you guys having problems? Whatever
this is about, we’ll work it out. Do you want a raise? Hell, you deserve one so
consider it done, effective tomorrow.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: LucidaGrande; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaGrande;">She shook her head, taken aback by the
offer. “I…” For a brief moment she thought of telling him that her thieving
ex-boyfriend wanted her to steal from him. If she didn’t work here anymore, the
bastard couldn’t blackmail her into anything. Which meant she’d become useless
to Kevin and he’d leave her alone. She knew how that rat Kevin operated. But if
she stayed on as Wyatt’s assistant, she’d always be a target for Kevin. He
would keep coming at her until someone in her life got hurt.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Synopsis:</b><br />
Grace Kendall knows what it’s like to have life knock you on your butt. She’s been through hell and made it back. She’s fine with trusting no one and expecting nothing until a night wind blows something quite unexpected onto her doorstep in the rain.<br />
<br />
The scruffy, yet gorgeous enigma known as Nathan Henley steps inside her apartment and brings with him all those feelings Grace has tried so hard to tuck safely away. Beneath his bruised and damaged exterior, she senses all the dark and beautiful secrets lost within the tarnished diamond of his lonely heart.<br />
<br />
Like everyone before him, he must be too good to be true. She resists his mystery as long as she can, but she knows that any woman would gladly throw themselves against his rock hard chest and shatter helplessly into a million lustful pieces.<br />
<br />
When Grace finally decides to trust again, her ex-boyfriend Jack returns to her life with his crooked grin and the past comes crashing down. With the world spinning all around her, Grace must do more than trust, she must fight for the salvation of her own lonely heart.</div>

finger and smiles at me with a sincerity that is worrisome rather than
reassuring. I’m not sure what game he’s playing, but everything in me screams
that this is indeed a game.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: black;">He shakes his head, staring
deep into my eyes. The smell of his tanned skin is intoxicating. My heartbeat
increases making me feel faint.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

breath and pull myself away from the physical and emotional closeness he’s
trying to build between us.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

cannot happen. I’m not bad looking, but I’m not exactly calendar material.
There’s no way a man like this could be interested in me. Taylor is the one
who’s always gotten the attention when we went out together or met new people.
Whatever Nate’s issues are, they have nothing to do with me and I don’t need
another troubled man in my life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: black;">He looks frustrated. “I haven’t

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: black;">“Well, just say it already.”
This might have come off as a little aggressive. I try to soften it up. “Or
don’t say it.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: black;">His meaning escapes me. “Are
you asking if things can go back to normal?” I say, shrugging my shoulders.
“Sure, why not?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: black;">I get up and lock my eyes on
his. “Why, Nate? I mean, we had no problems being shelter buddies and getting
along in our strange way. That seems to be our most peaceful state. Why do you
need to make it something more? You sound a little crazy wanting to go back to
a moment in time. Why?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: black;">“It’s more of a curiosity I
feel when I talk to you, when we’re close, when we kiss, when my body feels
your warmth,” he says almost scientifically.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: black;">I make sure to give him my most
incredulous glare. “Really? If it was the kisses and warmth you were after you
pretty much fucked that up.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: black;">“I know I did,” he says like a
sad puppy. I sincerely want to jump his bones, but resist. “That’s why, Dear
Grace, I am asking to be friends only.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">

me, it’s Nathan, right?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: black;">“Nate’s fine,” he says.
“Anything your voice says is fine by me.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

one hand behind my head and pulls me back down to the couch with his face close
to mine. “I don’t care about any other girl,” he says.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: black;">My whole body loses the will to
resist as he parts my lips with his tongue. He tastes like honey and cinnamon.
He tastes like happiness. He gently bites my upper lip, letting a finger trace
my ear ever so slightly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="color: black;">His arm tightens around my
waist sending splintered pulses along my spine. I fight to keep a simple truth
from him, that he could make me do whatever he wants. I hide a thousand <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">yeses</i> from him, desperate that if they
all spill out at once there would be nothing left of me to love.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

In the world of pain and pleasure, Charles Damien Macavoy reigned. He was a man apart, one who require more than most. He was a Master of BDSM. He’d been asked by another Dom and good friend to train the Dom’s current sub and love interest. Charles had trained many, but found himself attracted to his new trainee.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He was aware the fascination would wear off, it always did, and he’d returned the trainee to her Master willing and ready to submit. Lurking in the shadows of a world few are accustomed to is evil. Sometimes a thing of beauty has hidden thorns. Sometimes the hunter becomes the hunted.</div>

“You’re smiling rather devilishly at me Sir,” Samantha whispered. “Am I?” he answered back waiting to see her response. “Yes I can just imagine what’s going through your mind with tonight looming before us.” Her smile was slightly crooked but very sexy. He was enjoying their little repartee. “What’s going through my mind Samantha is seeing you knelt down before me with your lips around the shaft of my cock.” He watched her blush and was amused that she could be embarrassed so quickly. Or was that heat that flushed her cheeks. “Sir, you’re getting me wet.”</div>

I've been writing since I was a kid. I love creating and tried my hand at art, not bad but not good enough. A guy's gotta eat. Through high school I wrote erotic stories, kept them in a notebook, let a few of my girlfriends read them. Yeah, played football, baseball, but my brain never stopped thinking of sex. I guess we think about it all the time.
Been on face book for a while never did anything interesting when I was on until I started to see all the writers and then some poets posting their erotic prose. Men who were writing erotic romance and stories, I knew it was my time to get out the old note book and throw on some poems. Some are old and some are new, the ones about BDSM are newer. In high school or college I wasn't on that train of thought.
I see a picture it sets me off. A see an attractive women it sets me off. The jiggle of a full ass or heavy breasts, get me going. Yeah, my mind always is on a beautiful face or body.

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Emmy has everything
she’s ever wanted: a hot boyfriend she adores, great friends, a promising
future, and even a well-connected family. But one night rips it all away.</span></i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">A car accident
shatters her world, claiming the lives of her twin brother and her best friend.
In the wake of the accident, her friends drift away, her family falls apart,
and her boyfriend cheats.</span></i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">The grief is more than
she can handle, so she finds escape at the bottom of a bottle of painkillers.
Taking the pills makes her brother alive again, if only in her head. Seeing and
talking to her brother as if he were still alive is the only thing that keeps
her going. Until Logan King moves to town.</span></i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Logan sees past the
mask of pristine popularity she wears in public and he’s the only one who can
tell she hasn’t moved on. His uncanny ability to read her forces her to open up
and she starts to fall for him, no matter how unwilling she is to admit it. But
Emmy isn’t the only one keeping secrets and when a close brush with death
sparks events that bring everything to light, Emmy will have to decide what’s
more important: learning how to forgive and move on, or holding onto the pills
and the ghost of her past.</span></i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mending Heartstrings by Aria Glazki</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Published by: Swoon Romance</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Publication date: December 2nd 2014</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Genres: Adult, Romance</div>
<br />
<b>Synopsis</b>:<br />
<div>
<div>
Kane’s a country singer who’s tangled with too many deceitful women. He’s learned his lesson: girls are for flirting and fun; emotions are for his music. But after spending a night with an earnest woman unlike any he’s known, he can’t force her out of his mind. So he goes in search of the woman he knows only as “Elle.”<br />
<br />
On her last night in Nashville, the staunchly pragmatic Sabella found herself in a situation more suited to a romance novel than reality. Swept away, she ignored her rigidly self-imposed rules, succumbing to the fantasy just this once. But she knows real-world relationships have nothing in common with their fictionalized portrayals. When Kane unexpectedly shows up at her Portland apartment, she must choose between the practical truths she has learned and the desire for a passionate love she has struggled to suppress.<br />
<br />
Despite the distance, Kane’s tour schedule, and their meddling friends, both are drawn to the chance for a romance neither quite believes is possible.</div>

AUTHOR BIO:<br />
Aria’s writing story started when her seventh-grade English teacher encouraged her to submit a class assignment for publication. That piece was printed, and let’s just say, she was hooked!<br />
<br />
Since then, Aria has run a literary magazine, earned her degree in Creative Writing (as well as in French and Russian literatures), and been published in a few collections. Though her first kiss technically came from a bear cub, and no fairytale transformation followed, Aria still believes magic can happen when the right people come together – if they don’t get in their own way, that is.<br />
<br />
Other than all things literary, Aria loves spending time with her family, including her two unbearably adorable nieces. She also dabbles in painting, dancing, playing violin, and, given the opportunity, Epicureanism.<br />

Celeste is tired. She just wants to be left alone.
For centuries, the half-blooded elf has hidden herself away from the world and lived in isolation. Things have been peaceful, quiet. But some have a greater calling, a destiny. When the humans unwittingly set about a plan to release the source of all evil back into the world, Celeste is called upon by an old ally to stop them, and to keep all of Altierra safe.
Now she must face her past as she and her allies travel across the continent to save a world she has been apart from for eons. Will even her angelic birthright and druidic powers be enough to stop the rise of the last god?
She never asked to be a hero.
Destiny can be funny that way.

Celeste moved her arms up and around Tarnelius’ neck, while his dropped to her
waist. They deepened the kiss, their tongues exploring each other’s mouth and twisting
together in an erotic tango. Tarnelius moaned into her mouth in pure rapture. She trembled
from the sheer emotion of it all. She knew that if elves died when they had nothing more to
live for, she and Tarnelius would live for an eternity because they had each other. This was
truly their happily ever after.
He broke off the kiss and inched back, trying to catch his breath and running his
hands up and down her body in a delicious caress. “Don’t stop,” she spoke inside his head.
“Don’t ever stop.”
“Celeste, my angel. Don’t ask me that now. I will never be able to refuse you. Come
on, I’m sure the others are spying on us out here, and I want our first time to be in private,
not out here in the open where anyone could interrupt us.”
She leaned forward, offering her lips to him, pressing her body completely flush
against his. He gave in and tried to give her only a brief kiss, but she reached up and
tangled her hands into his golden hair, holding him against her. She moaned as she felt him
straining against her and shivered as he caressed her wings.
He felt his control slipping as he kissed her with all the desperation of a starving
man. They needed to get themselves under control or he would take her right there. When
he felt her shiver he pulled back once more, running his hands again over her wings. She
licked her lips and closed her eyes, breathing heavily. “Does that feel good, Angel?”
“Mmm,” she answered.
He gave her a devilish grin as he stroked her feathery wings. “I had no idea your
wings were so sensitive. Come on, we need to get inside. We’ll have an eternity to get to
know each other intimately, starting tonight. I promise I will always be exactly what you
need, Celeste.”

(I thought maybe we could put something like: See what readers are saying about Destiny’s Wings!
Or something like that)
“A good book makes you want to live in the story; a great book leaves no choice.” – A quote that fully
applies here!
I am immediately sucked into this story, wanting to know more about the characters and their world.
What I love about this particular novel is the way the descriptive is worked into the goings on and
conversations of the book, rather than separate. It makes for easier reading, easier following and is
less time consuming. A refreshing writing style!
Another thing that impresses me, being submerged in a work of fantasy is the author’s objective view
of humans. Since the POV is largely given from elven folk, we are treated to a look at what we truly
are: selfish, loud, and destructive. I even felt relieved to see the relationship between good and evil
explained; without spoiling anything I will simply state that the author has a rare and valuable sense
of understanding of the things that most humans do not. In reading this book with your mind open
even just a little you may see what I mean and come away enlightened. Worst-case scenario: you
enjoy a fun escape from reality as you become submerged into the story.
The story is immensely exciting from start to finish but also manages to keep the human aspect alive
with each character and their relationships with others. Action, drama, just the right amount of love
combined with a classic good versus bad element make this an impossible-to-put-down read. Busy
as I am, I still read in one session as I just couldn’t stop. I’m now waiting for the next one – very
impatiently.

D.S. Schmeckpeper (a.k.a. Dottie and Steve Schmeckpeper) live in Florida, USA. They are a
husband and wife team who work together to create the Land of Destiny series. Both have loved the
Fantasy genre for many years and have wasted way too much time playing fantasy-based games. Dottie
was a vocal performance major in college, before she decided a liberal arts major was not for her. Ironic,
huh? They have two wonderful twin boys, who are three at the time of this publication. They are the
light or their parents’ lives. Steve does the artwork and comes up with many of the story concepts.
Dottie brings the ideas to life. When not working, writing or drawing, the pair love to take their children
to Florida’s many amusement parks, and can often be found there.
If you’ve enjoyed this book, please consider leaving a review and/or rating on the site you

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Perfection is a gimmick.<br /> <br />It’s something they use to sell you shit you don’t need. The perfect home. The perfect family. The perfect marriage. Photos of that perfect life are all around us, but none of it exists.<br /><br />I know better because I take those photos. It’s all a ruse to make us think that's what we want. Behind closed doors, the house is a mess, the family is fighting, and that loving couple hates each other. I prefer a different city every week, laughing friends, and a variety of lovers.<br /><br />Until Carl. I’m not sure what I want when he’s around.<br /><br />Perfection is an illusion.<br /><br />It’s something used to make you forget all the bad shit that happens in this world. It’s an unattainable dream not worth the effort.<br /><br />I had the perfect home. The perfect family. The perfect marriage. Or so I thought. That illusion died with my wife and slammed me into reality. Aside from my daughter, business deals and making money is where my heart is now.<br /><br /> Until Rachael. I’m not sure what I feel when she’s around.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Cagney buzzed that the VIP had arrived. I stood up and
smoothed out my jacket and slacks. I also took a moment to make sure the girls
were still at optimum cleavage. Jimmy scoffed. “He’s married.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I raised my eyebrows and looked at him. “So are you, but you
still look.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">He shrugged, not denying the truth, and walked to the door.
I was smoothing down the last of the wrinkles in my jacket when I heard his
deep voice. I froze.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“Jim, thank you for meeting with me again.” I heard the door
shut and heard him approach. I closed my eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Carl Williamson was a man known to my family. He and my
brother had fought for the same woman. Carl lost. He never stood a chance with
his intimidating and aggressive tactics. He even used his daughter as a pawn to
get Drew to go out with him.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I didn’t know who he was when I first met him. The only
thing I needed to know was he was hot and I was in need of a hot man. At that
time, being hot and single were my only dating requirements and I wanted to
date Carl. It didn’t stop me from seeing him when I found out. A choice I later
regretted. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Jimmy kept bringing him closer. “No problem. We’re just as
excited to get started. This is the photographer you requested.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“No. Fucking. Way.” I spun around and met Carl’s black eyes.
It only took him a second to register what was happening and his eyes widened
in surprise. “I’m not working with this asshole.” I started for the door.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“Rachael!” Jimmy grabbed my arm. He was surprisingly
stronger than I had anticipated. “What’s wrong with you?” He tried to speak
softly, but Carl heard him.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I couldn’t look at Carl. I already knew what he looked like.
I didn’t need to see the man standing off to the side to know his shoulders
were broad. I didn’t need to see the jet-black hair to remind me I wanted to
run my fingers through it. I already knew he was the perfect height to offset
my heels.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I could’ve bet money his designer suit fit his body
perfectly, and was pressed as though he had just stepped off the pages of a
magazine. And I didn’t need to see the look on his face to know his strong,
squared jaw was set—hard. No, I didn’t need to see him again to remind me of
all of that.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">“You have to do this.” Jimmy started to drag me away from
the door.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I wrenched my arm free of his grasp and from the corner of
my eye, saw Carl take a step forward when Jimmy tried to grab me again. I
placed my hand up to stop him. “Don’t.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Jimmy held his hands up and backed away. “Just give us five
minutes. I’m not sure what exactly went on between the two of you, but I’m only
asking for five minutes.” I hesitated and Jimmy whispered, “Just think of the
camera.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I glanced at Carl and looked back to Jimmy. “Do I have to
work with him?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

to his desk, shaking his head. “I don’t know what’s going on between you two,

as he spoke. I watched Jimmy to see if Carl was being honest. “I didn’t know
you were their best photographer. The test is no longer needed.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

“You don’t trust anyone, so I’ll take your lousy test. What is it? Stand on my
head and get an impossible shot?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">It hit me then that both Cagney and Jimmy had said he was
married. His wife had died over a year ago. I looked at the wedding ring on his
finger. Carl noticed and put his hand in his pocket as I lifted my eyes to his.
I stood there silent, just staring. I didn’t deserve an explanation, but one
would’ve been nice.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

He was still hiding me as
some mistress. I’m no one’s whore. I didn’t say a word. I just walked out.
Jimmy was calling after me, but I ignored him and kept walking. I wasn’t going
to stick around where I wasn’t wanted. Problem was I didn’t know where I was
wanted.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">B.L. Mooney started writing when the voices and storylines in her head ran out of room. They were getting too cramped and neither B.L. nor the characters could take it anymore, so she did the only thing she could do—she made room. She always knew she wanted to write, but vowed to make time for it later. Now that she’s made time for writing, most everything else falls to the wayside. That seems to suit the characters that keep popping up in her head just fine.<br /><br />B.L. lives in the Midwest, and her other talents include in-demand cookies, a very dry sense of humor, and stealth eavesdropping. Some mannerisms, attitudes, or twists come from random sentences picked up while passing by strangers. So speak up the next time you have something to gossip about. You never know, it may just end up on the pages of the next book you read.<br /><br /> She loves to hear from her readers and you can contact her via email at </span><a href="mailto:AuthorBLMooney@gmail.com"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>AuthorBLMooney@gmail.com</b></span></a><br />

will always come running, I’ll eat the dinner, and wear the shirts and I’ve
already thought that if you put on ten more pounds, it’d be a sure bet that I
would never let you out of my bed. I’ve been trying to soak up every word
you’ve said since the first time we spoke, so I think it’s only fair that you

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-family: Times;">INTERVIEW </span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Times;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times;">Hi there!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you
so much for having me over for an interview on your blog today!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m excited to talk with you about Hale Maree
and where the idea came from.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will do
my best to make this wild and raucous fun, so don your lampshades and let’s
jump on into it!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Times;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-fareast-font-family: Times;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Times;">1)</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span></b><!--[endif]--><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times;">Wait a second.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, I’ve got to know if this book is
religious.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hale Maree?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Full of Grace?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the series name is Crossed &
Bared…are these books hot and sexy or do they have a religious element?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Times;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Times;">Oh my goodness!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No, the books are absolutely not religious
and by no means meant to be a comment or slight to the Blessed Mother,
Mary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Times;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Times;">The name of the book came during a
conversation I was having with Michelle Leighton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had just left my job and needed to make a
good go in the book world, but I’d had only limited success at that point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was mired in one of those discouraging,
down-with-everything moments and Michelle was trying to yank me out of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She mentioned that she’d written a ‘Hail
Mary’ story herself and that it changed her career.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She used the term the same way the Deadliest
Catch fishermen on TV put out a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hail Mary
</i>string of crab pots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s your
biggest and best effort, you pour yourself in and hope for the best.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Times;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Times;">Well, I wanted to write a hot and
sexy, contemporary romance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought,
why not name the book after my hope of its success?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And BLAM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That’s how Hale Maree came to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

book in the series, Full of Grace?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Times;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Times;">Full of Grace (FoG) is a spin
off—a story told by Landon Grace, who we meet in Hale Maree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t want to spoil the surprises, so…when
you’ve read Hale and then read the synopsis for FoG, you’ll totally understand
the name of the book!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Times;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times;">3)Tell me, where did
you get the idea of an arranged marriage?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That doesn’t happen these days!<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Times;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Times;">A friend of mine actually did
arrange his own marriage to a woman overseas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When he told me he was going to do it, I was intrigued at how it would
work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was fascinated at the aspect of
marrying a person you’d never met and what it would take to make a marriage
like that not only work, but work well with both spouses actually finding
love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Times;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Times;">I used much more exciting
mechanisms to arrange the marriage in Hale, because my focus was not on
depicting the culture gap or the red tape of an arranged marriage, but of explore
the relationship between two strangers who must make a marriage work and what
it would take to create a true romance under those circumstances. Hopefully,
readers will enjoy the fantastical story of Hale and Oscar’s pulse-pumping
romance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I hope you all enjoyed my very first book!!!! I love Maggie and Jase like they are my own kids. I am married to a wonderful man that believes in me. There will be more books with the rest of the Summers family telling their stories. I am a stay-at-home mom with two kids. I love reading and thought that, one day, I would put my thoughts into a book and hope for the best. I live in Ontario, Canada, and have a huge family...three biological sisters, three step-sisters, and three step-brothers But I don't think of them that way. They are my sisters and brothers. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me... Always remember to smile, laugh, and love to the fullest Love to you all!</span></span></div>

<strong>Excerpt</strong> </div>
<br />
Cane shook his head, apparently to rid himself of whatever he was thinking. His eyebrows raised, he turned towards me. “So you will have lunch with him and not me? What am I missing here?” <br />
“It’s business. Pretty simple, I think.” I peered out the door, watching Simon’s black Avalanche pull out of the parking lot. <br />
“I can pretend it’s about business, if that’s what you want.” <br />
“Cane,” I warned, turning my head to look at him. <br />
“Lunch with him will not be about business. When I walked in here, that was not about business.” <br />
“Whether it was or it wasn’t is no business of yours.” <br />
Cane blew out a breath, his forehead marred in frustration. “Do you know Simon Powers? Have you dealt with him before?” <br />
“No, I just met him today. Why?” <br />
He looked relieved. “It doesn’t matter. Look, if he needs to see this property again, I want you to call me first, okay?” <br />
“All right. I won’t bring him here without calling you first.” <br />
“I’m going to give you my phone number. If he wants to see this property or becomes a pain in your ass, I want you to call me. Don’t put up with any shit from him and don’t bring him here unless you actually speak to me. Do you understand?” <br />
“You’re making me nervous. What’s going on?” <br />
“There’s nothing to be nervous about,” he said calmly, trying to dissipate the mood he just created. “I just don’t like that guy. I don’t trust him.” <br />
“Whatever you say.” <br />
“I like it when you just do what I say.” His eyes darkened. <br />
“Noted. I have to go, Cane.” <br />
“What’s your phone number?” He placed his hand on the small of my back. I stilled at his touch. A jolt of energy darted through my body, landing at the apex of my thighs. I closed my eyes and just felt for a minute. <br />
“You can get my number from Max,” I said breathily, throwing his words from the night at the restaurant back at him. <br />
Cane spun me around quickly, my back pressed against the wall. He leaned in, his face almost touching mine. I willed myself not to moan, to not give him any inclination that my willpower was melting away. <br />
“Oh, Jada,” he whispered, the warmth of his breath only adding to the riot inside me. “Why do you fight this so hard?” <br />
“Cane …” I tried to formulate a response but words were not accessible. <br />
He smirked, knowing what he was doing to me. “Yes?” <br />
“I … I need to go.” <br />
“You need to. But do you want to?” He searched my eyes with his own. “I know what you want and what you need, baby. Why won’t you trust me?” <br />
My eyes widened, my pulse pounding. He was so close and I wanted more than anything to reach out and pull him up against me. <br />
But I can’t. <br />
He smiled before leaning in, his lips grazing my ear as he whispered, “Why do you fight this? Just give me one night to get you out of my system.” <br />
I turned my head to respond, to explain that was exactly what he wasn’t getting, and our eyes locked. The air between us, so hot and rife with energy, boiled over. <br />
He captured my lips with his own, tentatively at first. I resisted for a split second before succumbing to his charge. His lips moved over mine, a soft juxtaposition to his hard exterior. The heat of the exchange, of him finally touching me, melted me from the inside out. <br />
I opened my mouth, giving him entry, and he took it without hesitation. He explored my mouth with his own lazily, the softness of his tongue making my knees buckle. <br />
I tried to focus, tried to commit everything to memory, because it would only happen once. That would be the first and last time I allowed my defenses to be obliterated by Cane Alexander. <br />
The sound of blood roaring past my ears and the feel of his body, hot and hard against me, made it impossible to concentrate on anything for long. I hesitantly placed my hands on his back, feeling his muscles ripple beneath them. <br />
The sensations were overwhelming and I was on the cusp of bursting at the seams. <br />
Cane pulled back slowly and kissed me lightly on the lips, before retreating far enough away to look into my eyes. There were a hundred emotions playing across his gorgeous face, his eyes a dozen colors of blue. <br />
I looked away, trying to catch my breath. I wasn’t able to figure out my own emotions—I had no business trying to figure out his. <br />
“One night.” He lifted my chin so that my eyes met his. His tongue flicked across his lips. <br />
He only wants one night … <br />
My wits were scattered across the room and I gathered as many of them as I could before responding, “I need to go.” <br />
A look flashed across his face that I couldn’t read. He raised his eyebrows. “That’s all you’re going to say?” <br />
“I don’t know what else you want me to say.” I sidestepped him and made my way to the door. I looked over my shoulder one last time and he changed before my eyes. <br />
The confused, vulnerable look gave way to an impassive, cool veneer. He sat his hands on top of his head and turned away, heading towards the office. <br />
Seeing everything I needed to see, more than enough to convince myself I was doing the right thing, I pushed through the door and didn’t look back. <br />
