<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17.7777786254883px;"><b>SYNOPSIS</b></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17.7777786254883px;">Nobody ever cares for second place.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17.7777786254883px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17.7777786254883px;">Talented public relations associate, Annie Scott, knows second place well. She has never been anyone’s priority and is sick of wallowing in self pity, sick of being an option. In a snap decision, she flees her hometown of Nashville for the unknown shores of Sydney, Australia. There she can be whoever she wants to be. Perhaps, the enforced solitude will give her back her identity and kickstart a new path in life.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17.7777786254883px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17.7777786254883px;">Professional surfer, Cam Hart, is home on leave from the Pro Tour, and in desperate need of some rest, relaxation and maybe, a little female company. All extremely achievable at his home in Bronte, Sydney. There will be women willing and waiting for him, of that he has no doubt. He’s never been a relationship kind of guy, and after his embarrassing defeat for the recent World Title, the idea of losing himself in between the sheets for some no-strings fun, definitely has appeal.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17.7777786254883px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17.7777786254883px;">Fate throws Cam and Annie in each other’s path. Their attraction to each other is immediate. Cam believes he has found the perfect girl to distract him for a few weeks, while Annie is ready to throw caution to the wind and dive into a holiday romance. The two drifting souls soon realise that their chemistry and passion is more than they bargained for.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17.7777786254883px;">Cam has never wanted to entrust his heart to anyone again. But, with Annie, he sees that he may indeed want a future, a change from his impulsive and wild ways. Could Cam actually be capable of such change? Should Annie consider Cam to be more than a summer fling, or will she be bound by her insecurities and not believe him worth the risk? Will she return to her hometown, the same as she left it: alone</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">EXCERPT</span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cam looked down at Annie. She was seeing the view of the beach through fresh eyes and her wonderment made Cam realize what he took for granted. Strands of Annie’s hair had fallen out of her ponytail and were fluttering across her face. Cam moved his hand up and tucked them behind her ear. His touch made goose bumps jump to the surface of her skin. Annie tensed slightly before a warm rush of shivers went through her body. His thumb lightly rubbed over her cheek while the rest of his hand slid around the back of her head. Annie looked up and directly into Cam’s eyes. They stared at each other for what seemed like forever to Annie. He then leaned down slowly and got closer to her, their faces just a few inches from the other. Annie broke eye contact and looked down but Cam placed his other hand on her chin and brought her head back up. He held on to both sides of her face, moved in, and gently kissed her. Softly, sweetly. Then Annie released a sigh, which seemed to give Cam more confidence. His hands moved from her face to around her waist and he pulled her in toward him. Annie’s hands were flat against his chest and she could feel his heart was beating just as fast as her’s. His kiss changed from soft to more intense as their tongues tussled together. Annie was more than willing to match what he gave her. Cam turned Annie around and pushed her against the stone wall bordering the side of the balcony. His hands ran down the sides of Annie’s breasts, which peaked her nipples instantly. If she weren’t already highly turned on, that move would have done it! Just as Cam was about to lift the tank top up and over her head, a loud wolf whistle shook him out of his trance. </span></div>

Drake loves sex. He knows where get it, what to say, what to do, and he makes
no apologies for satisfying his needs. But when he meets single mom, Kylie
Sloan, he's enthralled by her, and begins to question his standard operating
procedure. After all, there's no chase, no mystery when banging a woman in a
nightclub bathroom. Kylie's depth and determination make the sloppy, drunken
hookups that fill his weekends seem empty and shallow. She's the opposite of the
desperate, clingy women he's used to. She doesn’t want or need anyone to take
care of her and that only makes him want to care for her more. <o:p></o:p></span></b></em></div>

trust in men has vanished. The last guy she was with played ding-dong-ditch-it
with her uterus and left her with a baby to raise. Now her infant son is the
only man she has time for, even if she misses sex and intimacy more than she'd
ever admit. Opening her heart up to a younger man who's best known for
no-strings-attached sex and his casual lifestyle is probably the worst idea
she's ever had. But Pace wants to prove to her there are still a few good guys
left, and watching the sweet way he interacts with her baby makes her want to
try…but she can really trust that his days of hitting it and quitting it are in
his past? <o:p></o:p></span></b></em></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Him:<br />
You would think that because I am a Marine that life isn’t that hard to live. I’d like to tell you that you couldn’t be more wrong. War is hell on earth. I have seen so many things that will haunt me for the rest of my life. No matter how much I try to forget the light fading from someone’s eyes, I cannot. My life is one determined by the mind. I wake up every day to fears of what will trigger the turmoil that sends me into overdrive. My life is depicted by sounds and colors and things that make me less of a man.<br />
Who am I, well I am CPL Blake Johnson. I am a United States Marine and I am living with post-traumatic stress disorder. If it weren’t for Anna, the sunshine in my life things would be much harder than they are.<br />
<br />
Her:<br />
Being a cosmetologist is not the easiest job for me, and after losing my best friend to her inner demons. I am bound and determined to not lose the man I love as well. They say in my line of profession you are more than what you claim. You are a therapist, a shrink, a person that listens to anything and everything. I am not that person. I have so much built up inside me I think I may be about to explode. I hope that this isn’t true because my heart picked someone that happens to be as inconsolable as I feel. <br />
Who am I? Well, my name is Anna Henderson. I am just trying to live my life one moment at a time and praying that I don’t mess it up.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Excerpt:</strong></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Nine months in this place and still I have a hard
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems like life is hard no
matter what, but being the one of the group who has a soft side sucks ass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was put into a difficult situation with
this guy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had a bomb strapped to his
chest and was about to push the detonator. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jackson gave me the order to shoot him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carter was the only one with me and he saw me
hesitate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He grabbed his gun and shot
the guy without even thinking twice about it<span style="color: #00b0f0;"> </span>then
nodded at me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hesitated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Had Carter not been with me I would have
died.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This place is not for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I should have gone to Princeton or Harvard
where I belonged, but instead here I am trying to act like something more than
what I am.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Just
what am I?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am the world’s biggest
coward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to prove that I wasn’t
just brains, that I could be something more, but that moment proved that all I
am is the nerdy kid with his nose stuck in a book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t even protect myself, had Jameson
not been there I would have let the guy blow me up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t kill him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Johnson
come here.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I turn to see Jackson
standing there with running shorts and tennis shoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Let’s go run.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Be
right there,” I say as I stand and grab my black and red Nike shocks and slide
them on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wonder if Carter told him
what happened last night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I doubt he
did, Jameson isn’t that type.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I walk
outside and join Jackson on the makeshift track in the dirt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“What
made you decide to become a Marine, Johnson?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
should have known this was coming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m
surprised I made it through boot camp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
am a lot stronger than I give myself credit for, but I am not strong enough to
kill someone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t think I have that
inside me. “I wanted to be more than the valedictorian of Adams High School,
more than a person with brains.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I shrug
and keep in step with Jackson as he moves along.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I
see it in your eyes Blake, you don’t think you’re good enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only you can be the judge of your worth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am just going to tell you, you’re a damn
good Marine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You think before you act,
not act before you think.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It makes you
lethal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember that.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
watch him and nod my head, then we both pick up our pace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After his words I don’t have anything to say
so I just keep pace with him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never
really thought I needed reassurance, but now that I have it, it feels like a
weight has been lifted off my shoulders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I only have nine more months before I can go home and finish this
deployment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>After
about six laps around the makeshift track Jackson bows out and goes to our
cots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I keep running.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s something you become good at when you’re
the red headed nerdy kid with glasses. LASIK was the best thing ever
invented.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally,<span style="color: #00b0f0;"> </span>I finish my run, take a quick shower and go to
the barrack to lay my head down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I look
up at the ceiling and think only two hundred and seventy five more days of
this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will be a broken record until I
can make it home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center">
In one day your life can go from awesome to total shit and for me it’s going to change forever. Who am I? My name is PFC Jameson Carter, and I am a United States Marine, or I was until a bomb detonated and took half of me with it. The only thing that kept me alive was the woman I had waiting back for me at home. <br />
How do you go from being a complete person to being half of something? For me, I have help, but how can I be anything more than half of what I used to be? Then when the one person you count on, the person you lived for leaves you how do you react? <br />
For Samantha Blalock life is easy, she helps repair people like me, the people who lose limbs. Something isn’t the same though, she’s changed. See I’ve known Samantha for years. She’s hiding something. Can we help each other through these trying times in our lives? Or does the fact remain that we are both irreparable? <br />
<br />

Him:<br />
You would think that because I am a Marine that life isn’t that hard to live. I’d like to tell you that you couldn’t be more wrong. War is hell on earth. I have seen so many things that will haunt me for the rest of my life. No matter how much I try to forget the light fading from someone’s eyes, I cannot. My life is one determined by the mind. I wake up every day to fears of what will trigger the turmoil that sends me into overdrive. My life is depicted by sounds and colors and things that make me less of a man.<br />
Who am I, well I am CPL Blake Johnson. I am a United States Marine and I am living with post-traumatic stress disorder. If it weren’t for Anna, the sunshine in my life things would be much harder than they are.<br />
<br />
Her:<br />
Being a cosmetologist is not the easiest job for me, and after losing my best friend to her inner demons. I am bound and determined to not lose the man I love as well. They say in my line of profession you are more than what you claim. You are a therapist, a shrink, a person that listens to anything and everything. I am not that person. I have so much built up inside me I think I may be about to explode. I hope that this isn’t true because my heart picked someone that happens to be as inconsolable as I feel. <br />
Who am I? Well, my name is Anna Henderson. I am just trying to live my life one moment at a time and praying that I don’t mess it up.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Excerpt:</strong></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Nine months in this place and still I have a hard
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems like life is hard no
matter what, but being the one of the group who has a soft side sucks ass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was put into a difficult situation with
this guy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had a bomb strapped to his
chest and was about to push the detonator. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jackson gave me the order to shoot him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carter was the only one with me and he saw me
hesitate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He grabbed his gun and shot
the guy without even thinking twice about it<span style="color: #00b0f0;"> </span>then
nodded at me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hesitated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Had Carter not been with me I would have
died.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This place is not for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I should have gone to Princeton or Harvard
where I belonged, but instead here I am trying to act like something more than
what I am.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Just
what am I?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am the world’s biggest
coward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to prove that I wasn’t
just brains, that I could be something more, but that moment proved that all I
am is the nerdy kid with his nose stuck in a book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t even protect myself, had Jameson
not been there I would have let the guy blow me up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t kill him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Johnson
come here.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I turn to see Jackson
standing there with running shorts and tennis shoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Let’s go run.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Be
right there,” I say as I stand and grab my black and red Nike shocks and slide
them on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wonder if Carter told him
what happened last night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I doubt he
did, Jameson isn’t that type.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I walk
outside and join Jackson on the makeshift track in the dirt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“What
made you decide to become a Marine, Johnson?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
should have known this was coming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m
surprised I made it through boot camp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
am a lot stronger than I give myself credit for, but I am not strong enough to
kill someone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t think I have that
inside me. “I wanted to be more than the valedictorian of Adams High School,
more than a person with brains.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I shrug
and keep in step with Jackson as he moves along.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I
see it in your eyes Blake, you don’t think you’re good enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only you can be the judge of your worth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am just going to tell you, you’re a damn
good Marine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You think before you act,
not act before you think.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It makes you
lethal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember that.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
watch him and nod my head, then we both pick up our pace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After his words I don’t have anything to say
so I just keep pace with him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never
really thought I needed reassurance, but now that I have it, it feels like a
weight has been lifted off my shoulders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I only have nine more months before I can go home and finish this
deployment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>After
about six laps around the makeshift track Jackson bows out and goes to our
cots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I keep running.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s something you become good at when you’re
the red headed nerdy kid with glasses. LASIK was the best thing ever
invented.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally,<span style="color: #00b0f0;"> </span>I finish my run, take a quick shower and go to
the barrack to lay my head down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I look
up at the ceiling and think only two hundred and seventy five more days of
this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will be a broken record until I
can make it home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center">
In one day your life can go from awesome to total shit and for me it’s going to change forever. Who am I? My name is PFC Jameson Carter, and I am a United States Marine, or I was until a bomb detonated and took half of me with it. The only thing that kept me alive was the woman I had waiting back for me at home. <br />
How do you go from being a complete person to being half of something? For me, I have help, but how can I be anything more than half of what I used to be? Then when the one person you count on, the person you lived for leaves you how do you react? <br />
For Samantha Blalock life is easy, she helps repair people like me, the people who lose limbs. Something isn’t the same though, she’s changed. See I’ve known Samantha for years. She’s hiding something. Can we help each other through these trying times in our lives? Or does the fact remain that we are both irreparable? <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Jason Sutherland is a billionaire investor who has it all: good looks,
billions of dollars, and every expensive toy a man could ever want. What
he doesn’t have is the one thing he wants the most: Hope Sinclair.
Unfortunately Hope, the little sister of his best friend, was off
limits. But when he finds out that she’s getting married, he decides
that he’s staking his claim before it’s too late, and it will take more
than a little deception and risk to accomplish his goal. Hope could end
up hating his guts, but after spending one forbidden night with her that
he can’t forget, he knows he has to try to make her his forever.
<br />
<br />Hope Sinclair was born into money, but being rich has never made her
happy. The one thing she wants is a man to care about her and not her
bank account. The closest thing she’s ever found to real happiness was
the magical, passionate night she’d spent in the arms of Jason
Sutherland…until that night turned into heartbreak. So when he
unexpectedly comes back into her life in the strangest of ways, Hope is
determined to resist her attraction to him.
<br />
<br />Thrown together by Jason’s deception and with their passion still
burning hot, can the two of them survive after the billionaire is
unmasked?
<br />
<br />18+ only. Not suitable for children and teens under 18.</span></span><br />

Billionaire
Sam Hudson has pretty much lived his life with no apologies because he
tries never to do anything that he’s sorry about…except for what he had
done in the past to Dr. Madeline Reynolds. Many years and regrets later,
Sam meets up with Maddie again by chance; his brother Simon is marrying
Maddie’s best friend and the two of them are forced to be civil. But
Sam wants to be more than polite, and he wants another chance to make
things right, so he offers Maddie a bold proposition, an offer he knows
she’ll have a very hard time declining even though she hates him.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Dr.
Madeline Reynolds adores her best friend Kara and her fiancé Simon, but
being forced into the company of Sam Hudson, because they are both in
Simon and Kara’s wedding, is pure torture. She’s hated Sam for years,
but when he offers her a bargain, something near and dear to her heart,
she’s torn between her dislike for the man and the offer of something
she’s always desperately wanted. Once, Sam Hudson nearly destroyed her,
but Maddie discovers that sometimes things aren’t always what they
appear to be. Is Sam really a devious heartbreaker, or is there
something more to him beneath the surface?</div>

Billionaire
Max Hamilton thought he was finally starting to find contentment, more
than two years after losing his wife Mia in a tragic drowning accident.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He'd
been reunited with a sister he hadn’t realized existed. Finally he had
family again, a reprieve from the pain and loneliness that had haunted
him since his devastating loss. Yeah…he was as happy as a man could be,
considering he had lost the other half of his soul and most of his heart
when fate had torn his wife away from him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or
so he believed…until the day he rescued a mysterious woman in the park,
a female who somehow had managed to reignite a part of him that he
thought was long dead...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Suddenly,
Max's protective, dominant, possessive male instincts flare to life,
leaving him at a loss as to how lightning could possibly strike twice in
one lifetime. Is he truly being given another chance at real happiness,
or would it be dangled in front of him, only to be taken away once
again?</div>

The Billionaire's Game - The Billionaire's Obsession ~ Kade </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
With
his professional football career over due to a tragic accident,
billionaire Kade Harrison takes on the task of solving a mystery for his
brother-in-law and friend, Max Hamilton. Without his former career to
fill every minute of the day, Kade's looking for something to challenge
him--now that he's lost the career that had meant everything to him.
But what starts out as a simple favor soon becomes a whole lot more than
he bargained for when the woman he's seeking slips away from him every
time he gets close to finding her. When Kade does finally corner her,
things start to get even more complicated. Asha Paritala is nothing
like he expected, and the female he had tracked down as a favor for Max
soon becomes a woman he wants for his very own, a woman who makes
protective and highly predatory instincts he didn't know he had flare to
life inside him. Kade soon discovers that he wants Asha's total
surrender to the desire and passion that vibrates intensely between the
two of them, but he also wants her trust, the one thing Asha's history
makes it difficult for her to give. Can Kade convince her that some
things are worth risking it all? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Caught
between two worlds, Asha Paritala is homeless, broke and damaged from a
life of abuse and neglect. Born of an American mother and an Indian
immigrant father, Asha was raised as an Indian woman by a foster family
after the death of her natural parents when she was little more than a
baby. She's spent her entire life under the control of others until
finally breaking free two years earlier, and she's determined to keep
her freedom, even if it means she has to struggle to survive. But when
she meets Kade Harrison, her resolve is tested. After Kade helps her
through a bad situation, she finds herself beginning to trust Kade as
she's never trusted a man before. Kade is everything she always
thought a man should be, but can she lose herself in him completely when
she knows she's damaged and confused. And is it really possible that
she could be a lost sibling to two people like Max Hamilton and Maddie
Hudson? Asha is tempted by the possibility of family, and the
irresistible lure of a man like Kade Harrison. Can a woman caught
between two cultures, so flawed and so backward, really reach out and
take what she wants, or will the instinct to run from the pain of her
past destroy the hope of happiness for her future? </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After
four years of working for “the billionaire boss from hell” Ally
Caldwell thinks she finally has her life on the right track. Her fiancé
is out of dental school, ready to go to work at a thriving practice, and
it would finally be her turn to go back and finish her college degree.
Unfortunately, her carefully planned future crumbles when she finds out
that her fiancé, the man she’d nearly killed herself to help get through
school, has been cheating on her. With her wedding looming in the near
future, Ally’s blindsided, realizing she’d never even knew the man she’d
been planning to marry. Suddenly, her carefully organized life is
turned upside down, and not one single thing is turning out the way it
was supposed to happen. Even her boss, Travis the Tyrant, is beginning
to act differently, throwing Ally into an even more confused and chaotic
state of mind. Travis, the one man who she’d always counted on to be a
jerk, was now the guy who actually steps up to try and help her
straighten her life out again. Unfortunately, she doesn’t much care for
his highhanded arrogance or his methods of “helping.” Ally wants to hate
Travis. It makes her life so much simpler to fight with him than to
admit to the combustible chemistry growing between the two of them. But
as she begins to see more and more of the real Travis beneath his dark
façade, she can’t seem to resist the dangerous lure of their unlikely
attraction. <br />
<br />
Billionaire Travis Harrison does
everything he possibly can to repair the Harrison name after a scandal
nearly destroyed his family years ago. He makes sure he keeps himself
and his actions in check, his emotions buried under a thick layer of
ice. Only his secretary and assistant, Alison Caldwell, makes him come
close to losing his carefully constructed image. The obstinate female
keeps shoving him closer and closer to the edge of sanity every single
day. But when he finds out about her fiancé’s betrayal, his protective
instincts roar to life inside him, making him want to ensure she’s never
hurt again. The only problem is…Ally doesn’t want his help, and the
infuriating woman does everything she can to push him away, even as the
two of them are swept into an undeniable passion that neither of them
can possibly ignore. Before long, Travis finds himself in ruthless
pursuit of something much more important and elusive than just a
business deal. <br />
Can these two very different, very stubborn
people actually be meant to be together? Find out if Travis and Ally can
let down their defenses and surrender to a love so powerful it will
rock them to the depths of their souls in Billionaire Undone, Book Five
of The Billionaire’s Obsession series.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What happens when something so terrible tears you apart from the inside out? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You become a fragment of yourself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the right path to achieving her hopes and dreams, Campbell Stevens has always been a model student. The first time she lets loose during her senior year of high school, she loses everything. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Living in a nightmare after surviving the most traumatic event, Campbell learns to be content by walking through life single and unattached, free of the uncertainty that relationships bring. She isn’t looking for love. In fact, she goes out of her way to avoid it—that is, until she runs into Deacon Montgomery, a kind and handsome Chicago firefighter. She denies her instant attraction to him, only making him more persistent in his pursuit of her. Despite her desire to be with Deacon, Campbell is too damaged to share herself with anyone else. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life left Campbell shattered. Can Deacon help put the fragments back together? Or will she forever be broken?</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Excerpt 1: </b></span><br />
“Why are you so nice to me when I keep pushing you away? Why do you keep trying? I’m broken, Deacon. Don’t you know what's good for you?” Campbell pleads.<br />
“Yeah, I do, and it’s you. I want all of you, and if you are broken, I want all those shattered pieces, too. Please just trust me.”<br />
<br />
Cam’s eyes fill with unshed tears as her bottom lip quivers. I grab her head on either side, running my fingers through her hair, pulling her toward me, bringing her mouth to mine. I feel her lips quiver as I taste her, ravishing her mouth. Cam’s hands wrap around my waist and she runs her fingers up and down my back. I explore her mouth, my tongue greedy to touch every part. She whimpers, and my dick throbs in a needful plea.<br />
<br />
<i>Fuck, I want this girl.</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt 2: </span></b><br />
With a half sob, I scream into the air that's charged with the scent and flavor of sex, like an electrical storm of raw pleasure. I feel the warmth flush through my body and I lose my mind to the pleasure it brings. Deacon continues to taste below as he holds my quaking thighs. The ecstasy exits my pores, leaving my skin covered in head-to-toe goose bumps.<br />
<br />
My shaking finally starts to slow as Deacon’s tongue mirrors the decelerating cadence. I breathe in and out, deeply trying to regain my equilibrium. My skin glistens with a thin sheen of sweat, my heart racing while my mind and body are in a post-orgasm utopian fog.<br />
<br />
<i>What the hell was that?</i></blockquote>

Living in the moment, both of us knowing that it would soon be over.<br />"Seven." I whispered against his mouth.<br />"Go to school," he urged for a second time. "Make mistakes, Mo. Get in trouble, let Nixon find you sneaking wine into your backpack. Get sent to the Dean's office, make mistakes," he said again then licked his lips. "Let someone pick up the pieces of your broken heart, let someone fix what I destroyed."<br />"What if I want to drop out and hermit myself in my room?" I refused to look at him.<br />"That's not living, Mo." Tex cupped my face. "I have five minutes left with you, do you want me to use it to kiss you or lecture you on why I'm right?"<br />I grinned as a tear slid down my cheek. "Both."<br />His smile matched mine. "I forget how much you like being scolded."<br />"Only if the one scolding has a firm hand."<br />"Every last inch of me is firm and you know it." Tex tugged me into his lap. "School will distract you, it will give you a better future then guns and war, it will take your focus from tragedy to the future. Please, for me, Mo, please try to do normal."<br />"Normal." I shook my head. "Not sure I know what that word is."<br />"Normal," Tex repeated. "Making love to someone under a tree not because you have to say goodbye, but because it's the best way you can think to say hello."<br />My lower lip quivered.<br />"Normal." His voice was hoarse. "Marrying the love of your life not because her brother shoots you at point blank range--but because not marrying her would be a fate worse than death."<br />He was silent then added, "Three minutes."<br />I clenched his shirt with my hands and fought the urge to sob against his chest.<br />"Normal." Tex's voice was barely audible. "Going from country to country, traveling all over the world, not because you have a hit on you, but because you want to see the girl you love smile in every country God ever created."<br />I knew the time was ticking by, it seemed the less time we had the faster it went, I guess that's life.<br />I was looking at two more minutes, maybe less, with my lover, my friend, and all I could do was clench his shirt in my hands and twist, somehow willing him to stay on the ground rather than get up and walk towards certain death.<br />"Normal." Tex moved to his feet, helping me up. "Giving the woman you love two hours of your time, because you can't imagine spending your minutes, those precious seconds, any other way."<br />Tex kissed my mouth hard, nearly bruising my lips before stepping back and kissing my nose.<br />"Time's up," he said gruffly.<br />"We're no longer friends." I said it as a statement, not even a question.<br />"For two hours I was your lover, your friend, your everything." Tex looked away. "For the rest of eternity--I'm now your enemy."</span></div>

His skin was velvety smooth over his rock hard shaft, and he tasted faintly of salt and muskiness. Pure male. I cupped his balls in my free hand and looked up to see him staring down at me with a look in his piercing blue eyes that told me this was exactly what he'd had in mind. Over and over, I swallowed his cock, loving the sound of his moans as I inched him closer and closer to release.</div>

I felt his hands tighten in my hair, sending delicious pain skittering across my scalp. Looking down at me, he licked his lips and grinned. "Slow. I want this to last."</div>

My name is Lizzie Connelly, and I have it all. The gorgeous apartment. The new job most women would rip out their own souls for—working for Margaret Emerson at Emerson & Taylor. I have one of those lives you’ve always dreamt about, the kind you only see on HBO. But, the thing is, that life is a lie. A façade.
It all started with one call. “Everything you know about your story—your father’s story—is a lie. It’s up to you to uncover everything.” One call, and I turned my world upside down to dig my way into Margaret’s life—the woman who I’d never laid eyes on until recently. My stepmother who took everything after my father died fourteen years ago.
The plan was simple—figure out what role she played in my father’s death and expose her to the world.
But here’s another thing: simplicity doesn’t exist, and my plans are flawed from the beginning because I never anticipated Oliver. Sexy, too smart for his own goddamn good, and infuriating, he’s the one person who could blow my plans to uncover Margaret. She’s his mother, and in another life, that would have made him my stepbrother.
I want to pretend that none of that matters, that I can simply finish what I came to do without sparing him a second glance and another thought.
Like I said, though, there’s no such thing as simplicity.
My real name is Gemma Emerson.
And this is my story.
<a href="http://shhmomsreading.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Excerpt.jpg"><img alt="Excerpt" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10835" src="http://shhmomsreading.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Excerpt.jpg" height="100" width="300" /></a>
<br />
<blockquote>
Setting me on my feet, Oliver’s palms flared over my flat stomach. I shivered—a combination of his touch and the cold metal of the refrigerator against my calves—and he skimmed his teeth over his bottom lip. Stopping at the waist of my skirt, he tugged my white pintuck top free.
“I don’t do jealous.” With each word, he undid a button, exposing another inch or two of my skin. “But when I opened that link and saw that picture of you, I wanted to take the first goddamn flight out of New York.”
“Why didn’t you just call and ask me?”
He freed the last button and stroked his thumb over the hollow of my throat, his breath catching when he traced between the valley of my breasts. Fingering the pretty white bow between the cups of my Agent Provocateur bra, he shook his head. “Because I needed to see your face when I asked you. I wanted to make sure.”
“That I wanted you?”
“That you weren’t lying to me.”</blockquote>

I stared harder at the picture, uncomfortable with the odd sense of familiarity I felt. Looking at the woman's graceful yet agonized form, I felt as though I should recognize her.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
Bothered by my increasing disquiet, I stood up and walked closer. This was not your typical campus painting of daffodils and laughing students. I had seen this particular kind of art several times before. I leaned in to try to see the details in the poor lighting. And there it was- the tiny patterns on the woman's dress composed of dozens of Xs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
I didn't notice any numbers or words in this picture, though, so I didn't understand what its intent was. It was my understanding that X's paintings held the clues to the location of the club, Compulsion. But this picture seemed to have nothing to do with that.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
This was a painting created for some other purpose.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
"So what do you think?" </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
I looked over my shoulder to find Maxx standing behind me. I turned back to the picture, not bothering to answer him. The truth was, my outburst in the group had left me feeling raw and vulnerable, and seeing him so soon after making a gigantic ass of myself was embarrassing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
As he came up beside me, the sleeves of our jackets brushed against each other. Maxx inclined his head toward the painting and asked me again, "Well, what do you think of it?"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
I shrugged, not really in the mood for small talk. My pounding head couldn't handle a go-around with the group Romeo. I started to walk away from him when he grabbed hold of my arm.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
"Wait, Aubrey. Please." It was that word that did it. <i>Please. </i>It was uttered softly and sincerely. And it held me as fast and surely as if he had put his arms around me.</div>

His skin was velvety smooth over his rock hard shaft, and he tasted faintly of salt and muskiness. Pure male. I cupped his balls in my free hand and looked up to see him staring down at me with a look in his piercing blue eyes that told me this was exactly what he'd had in mind. Over and over, I swallowed his cock, loving the sound of his moans as I inched him closer and closer to release.</div>
<div class="p1">
I felt his hands tighten in my hair, sending delicious pain skittering across my scalp. Looking down at me, he licked his lips and grinned. "Slow. I want this to last."</div>

Controlling my pace, he fucked my mouth slowly and methodically, and I licked and sucked every glorious inch of him.</div>

Lasting Fate Excerpt:</h2>
<div font-size:="" medium="" style="text-align: center;">
<br />Preston
I pull into the drive and the garage is open. I've told Kinzleigh to keep it shut. It's a nice area, but that doesn't mean we don't get strays from time to time looking for easy access to steal. Kinzleigh's mom should be here soon to help her with the baby for a few days. Maybe she's already here. I could use her help so I can get some work done. I'm swamped with projects and a new baby is more work than I thought. I try to give Kinzleigh a break when I get home.
<br />Pulling under my garage door, I park and kill the engine. I grab my satchel that I take back and forth from the office and step out of my beamer. It's been a long day. I grab the knot of my tie and pull, loosening it. When I get to the door my heart drops to my stomach. It's cracked. My first thought is that someone has broken in. I push it open and walk inside.
I drop my bag at the door and pick up pace when I hear Bryce screaming at the top of his lungs. A fear I've never known races through my body. What if she's hurt? "Kinzleigh," I call out throughout the house. I get no response. When I make it to the living room Bryce is lying in his bassinet screaming and Kinzleigh is lying on the couch staring off into space like a zombie, ignoring him.
His face is blood red like he's been crying for a while. I reach over and pick him up, pulling him to my chest. "Hey, buddy. Shh, shh, shh. It's okay," I say as I rock him. It's not helping. He's obviously hungry or wet. Hell, I don't know. I've never had a baby before and I'm a guy. I would get cranky if I was hungry. Kinzleigh is breast-feeding, so I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
<br />"Kinzleigh, when is the last time you fed him?" I look over at her, still attempting to calm him down. My ears are stinging from his constant crying. I can't think. She has not even acknowledged I'm in the room. "Kinzleigh, what the fuck?" The only type of response I get from her are tears that fall from the corners of her eyes and they trickle down her nose before dropping onto the leather of the sofa.
"I can't," is all she says and goes back to staring off into space. What the hell does that even mean, she can't?
<br />"You can't or you won't? What happened to you? Are you sick?" He is still screaming, so I reach in the bassinet and get his pacifier, hoping it calms him a little until I can figure out what the hell I'm supposed to do now.
"I can't," she says again. She's not even looking at him. I begin walking towards her in an attempt to see what's wrong and get her to feed him. She closes her eyes before I get there. "Please don't. I can't hold him. Please, take him somewhere else. Please..." I don't understand. She was fine when I left for work. I try to give him his pacifier. We don't have any formula, because she wanted to feed him naturally. How does everything change so drastically in twelve hours?
<br />He takes it for a second before he figures out nothing is coming out of it and spits it back out, now mad as hell. I can't deal with this shit right now. I'm worried about her, because she's not acting right, but I have to get him calmed down first. Pulling out my phone from the pocket of my slacks, I hit one of the contacts in my immediate access list. It rings for a minute before the line picks up. "Preston? It's seven thirty and the sitter just left. Do I need to call her back? Is that Bryce? Is he okay?"
Her voice is drowned out by his crying. I walk out of the room with the phone up to my ear. "Hey, Macie. I need your help. It's an emergency. It's about Kinzleigh. You can bring Talon."
"Anything, Preston. Is she okay?"
<br />I peek my head back in the door. She's still lying on the couch in the exact same position she was when I left. She is still staring at the wall blankly, no emotion registering on her face. "I don't think so. I came home and Bryce was screaming in his bassinet. She's just lying on the couch in a vegetative state. She won't hold him. I have no idea when she's fed him last. Can you bring some formula?"
"I think I know what's wrong with her. I'll be right there. Give me fifteen minutes." She doesn't wait for an answer before disconnecting the call. I slide the phone back in my pocket and begin bouncing him slightly while I pat his back. His tiny head is resting against my cheek.
<br />"It's okay, buddy. We'll get your mama fixed, okay? Don't worry. She must have a reason for letting you cry, she has to. You'll love her. She's kind of hard not to love." His cry is dying down, from the exhaustion I'm sure, but not stopping completely. I stand in the doorway watching her. I've never in my entire life seen her like this, not even when her grandmother died. It's like her soul has been sucked from her body, leaving nothing but a hollow woman lying in this big house.
I'm scared to know what that means. I need to talk to Macie. I have a strange feeling I'm losing her. I've never been in love with a girl like I'm in love with Kinzleigh, and I never will be again, but I can't stand seeing her like this. If this is going to be the girl she becomes, then I'll have to make another choice, one that is going to forever destroy me for a woman. I won't trap her. We were happy before he came back. I won't watch her disintegrate and become lifeless to preserve my own happiness.
<br />The realization occurs that if she doesn't get better I may have to let her go. Watching her lay as if she is alive, but dead, is killing me inside. I've never been an emotional guy until I went back to Mississippi that night and saw her the way I did. Something changed in me that night. From that point forward it wasn't about me, but her. I learned that when you love someone, you do what's best for them, even if it isn't what's best for you.
I want to walk over to her right now, but I have to take care of Bryce first. I made a promise to love and take care of both of them. I'm going to keep that promise for as long as I can. Right now I'm scared and I don't know how long I'm going to get to hold onto what has become my family. Just because this child doesn't share my blood, he still shares a piece of my heart. I kiss the top of his head. He finally cried himself to sleep, but he won't be asleep long. Macie should be here soon. I can tell his diaper needs to be changed anyway.
<br />I stare at the girl that captured my heart from the time I was just a teenager. I've really grown into a man from then to now. I rub my thumb back and forth on Bryce's head, above his ear. "I need to leave you for a minute, but I promise I'll come take care of you," I whisper into the air in her direction. "I love you, Kinzleigh." My eyes fill to the brim with tears, but I close my lids before they have the chance to fall. She doesn't have room in her life for someone that can't contain his emotions.
I kiss the top of his head; his baby smell fills my nostrils. "I love you also, buddy." I hold him close to me and begin walking in the direction of the stairs and towards his room. I'm going to savor every moment with the two of them. My brain wants me to believe that I still have them forever, but my heart is preparing me for the worst.
<br />After changing his diaper, I sit in the rocker and start to rock him. Macie walks in with a bottle in hand. She takes one look at me and gets a saddened look in her eyes, more like a look of pity. "You've gotten attached to him, haven't you?"
"Yeah." I am not one of those guys that talk about the emotions fighting against each other deep inside. I prefer to keep to myself. Revealing parts of yourself to others sets you up for gossip and judgment. Coming from a family in the media that was something you didn't do. Kinzleigh is the only person I've ever let in.
<br />"I hope I'm not overstepping any boundaries, because I really like you as a boss and a person, but you know there is only way to fix her, right?" I continue rocking back and forth, staring at the wall before me. I want to know, but at the same time I don't. I'm not sure I want to know the answer, because I think I already do.
"What's that?"
<br />"Preston, you can't fight soul mates. I know you love her, and I really believe she loves you in return, but she's meant for him. His return has changed the rules of the game. Her soul is fighting her, mourning for its other half. A doctor is going to tell you it's postpartum depression, but we both know what's really wrong with her."
I'm getting mad. Things were going great before he came back. I'm not going to be an asshole and say I wish he would've died, because I don't, but she's the only girl I've ever wanted. That should count for something. "So, you think I should just hand her over to him? What kind of a man hands over the only thing he wants in life. I've only ever loved her..."
<br />"I'm saying you should set her free. She made you a promise, and I don't think she's going to break it. Her soul is turning against her, rebelling until she gives it what it wants. As silly as it sounds, I really believe someone can die of a broken heart. Would you rather keep her alive and well or allow her to suffer slowly? If you really love her, prove it, and set her free her from the ropes that bind her. Selflessness, that's the ultimate sacrifice in love."
I look down at the bundle in my arms. I can't let them go yet. I need a little more time. She could still get better. She has to get better. I'm trying to convince myself, but it's not working. Bryce wakes up crying. "Here, give him to me. Talon is watching television in the spare room downstairs. Go tend to her. She needs someone. She looks horrible."
<br />I stand and hand him to her. I watch her sit in the chair, but I can't quit looking at him. "Preston..." I glance up at her. "We'll be fine. I've raised one baby. Go on." I nod and follow instructions, leaving the room. When I get to where Kinzleigh is, she looks worse than she did before. It feels like someone has a hold on my heart and squeezing as hard as they can until it pops.
I get to her and squat down so that I'm at her level. "Kinzleigh," I whisper. Her eyes are void of all life and emotion. She doesn't look at me. It's as if she can't even hear me.
Fuck it. I can't take this anymore.
<br />I slide my arms underneath her and lift her, pulling her against my chest. "I'll do whatever I have to do to fix you, Kinz. I promise." I walk her upstairs and into our bathroom, sitting her on the toilet. She slumps slightly, but holds herself up.
"Lift your arms," I state. She does as I say. I remove her shirt and she lowers them back down. I unclasp her bra and remove that too. She is now sitting in just her underwear. I unbutton my shirt and let it fall to the floor. Grabbing the collar of my undershirt, I pull it over my head and toss it down on the other one, forming a pile.
I work quickly to unfasten my belt and pants, letting them drop to the floor as well. Stepping out of my shoes and pants in unison, I kick them to the side. Wrapping my arms around her waist, I pick her up and she wraps her legs around me, and then lays her head against my chest. I walk over to the large round tub and step in. Reaching forward and down, I turn the nozzle and adjust the settings until the water is warm.
<br />I sit down as the bathtub fills with water. My eyes fill with moisture again, but this time I let them fall. My heart is breaking, shattering is a more appropriate word. The only things at the forefront of my mind are the things Macie said. I hold her wrapped in my arms and silently cry.
My heart is trying to convince my mind that it's wrong, duking it out on what's best for her. I don't want to let her go. I want to love her each and every day for the rest of my life. I want to give her the world, and be her world, but after seeing how she reacted to him at the hotel that day and seeing her when she told him goodbye, and looking at her now, my mind is overpowering my heart. It's clear that what I want and what she wants are two different things.
<br />I could hold onto her if I wanted, but my love for her guilt’s me, and won't let me do this to her. I feel like I'm being gutted at the realization of what I have to do. I'll never be the same after this. I'll never give my heart to another woman. When I do this I'm defying everything I was taught by giving in. I'm sacrificing my happiness for hers. When her and Bryce go, my heart goes with them.
After holding her in the bathtub and trying to convince myself to go back on my decision, I bathed her and gave her some sleeping medicine from the cabinet. I lay her in the bed and pull the covers over her. It doesn't take her long before her eyes begin to roll in the back of her head and her lids close.
<br />Her cell phone on the nightstand starts to ring. I notice it's an unsaved number. Trying not to wake her, I answer the call. "Hello."
The line is silent. "Can I talk to Kinzleigh?"
I look down at her. She is sleeping and looks peaceful for the first time since I got home from work. I'm not waking her. Besides, I'm about to give her over to the bastard anyway; he can let me have a few more hours. <br />"Now's not a good time," I say.
"Are we really going to play it this way?" He breathes and I walk out of the room, quietly shutting the door. I move far enough away she can't hear me if she wakes.
<br />I need him to stop calling, because what I have to do has to be done in person and I don't need him to worry Kinzleigh until this is done. "She doesn't want to see you, Breyson. Please stop calling." I disconnect the call and throw the phone at the wall, leaving a crack and a now shattered phone.
I run my hands through my hair and rest against the wall, sliding down until I'm sitting on the floor. Leaning my head back I close my eyes.</div>

<strong> Meet Charisse Spiers </strong></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I developed a passion for reading I never knew I had in November of 2012 when I decided to give eBooks a try. Since then I can't go a day without some form of a book or character running wild through my mind. For almost a year I constantly had a book pulled up on my Kindle app for my iPad. The beauty of self publishing is that you can interact with the authors, which is how I started writing. I never knew I had the creativity to write a novel until I began conversing with another Indie author. If you ever think that Indie authors don't like getting feedback from readers, you are very wrong. I began editing for a fellow author and because she took a leap of faith in me and told me to give writing a shot, I am now an Indie author myself. I cannot tell you how amazing this journey has been. It is hard putting yourself out there for the public eye with all of the reviews that come through, but it's also amazing. I have met some of the most genuine people and people I would consider friends even though I've never met them face to face. I have now published the first two books in the Fate series, Accepted Fate and Twisting Fate and I am starting book three Lasting Fate to be released November 2, 2014. I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me and feel free to interact with me here or on social media. I will respond. :)</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Knowing a fighter’s desires and needs are one
thing, but actually experiencing them is another. A Fighter’s Desire gives you
not one, but two stories full of hardcore passion, angst, and action that’ll
leave you breathless and aching for more.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Part One: Ryley and Camden Jameson, well-known
MMA fighters and identical twins, were just as aggressive and passionate in the
bed as they were in the ring. They loved a good fight, and that’s exactly what
they got when they met Ashleigh Warren. The brothers had a habit of sharing
things—including women—and she happened to be the only one they truly craved.
However, the problem was getting her to agree to their proposition. It was one
she couldn’t refuse, but she knew it wouldn’t be easy to win. Nonetheless, she
sure as hell was going to enjoy it.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Part Two: Fighting temptation isn’t easy when
you’re constantly around the one person you’ve desired more than any other.
Gabriella Reynolds was warned by her brother, MMA Heavyweight Champion Matt
Reynolds, to stay away from his friends; they only wanted one thing, and in the
end they’d break her heart. She heard it, but the desire to have the one man
she couldn’t <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="146976dc2a928a6e_1469131410507a87__GoBac"></a>led
her down the forbidden path to pursue him; he also happens to be one of her
brother’s best friends. Tyler Rushing can’t deny his attraction to her, and
he’s afraid she’ll want more than what he can give her. When he finds out
that’s not the case … everything changes. They have no choice but to keep their
time a secret, and it’s a secret that’ll stay with them forever.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<em>Book 6 in The Beautiful Series or Standalone</em> All Blake Johnson knows is the life of a Marine. After serving his country for eight years, he returns to his family for some rest and rehabilitation. Fighting an internal war, he battles sleepless nights as images of his former military days haunt him. From the moment Audrey Hampton walks into his life, he is drawn to her. Her beauty leaves him breathless and weak in the knees. She kindles a spark of hope deep within his soul, igniting a part of himself he feared was missing. Her never-ending compassion for others opens his heart in a way he never dreamed. But Audrey is hiding wounds of her own. Returning to Lake Tahoe to care for her ill mother triggers painful childhood memories of her parents’ loveless marriage, reminding her there is no such thing as true love. Will Blake’s resolve be powerful enough to open Audrey’s sealed heart? Or will Audrey fear the past and risk losing the man who could give her life a newfound purpose? Can two wounded souls become one?

<strong>Exclusive Excerpt: </strong>
<em>~Audrey~</em>
“What about you?” Blake asked gently.
“I’m home to see my family.” I shifted on my feet, not wanting to go into too much detail either. I refrained from laughing at observing how we seemed to share that minor detail. “However, I now live in San Francisco.”
Blake’s dark eyebrow curled, slightly lifting, and his lower lip twitched in amusement. Gosh, he was just so damn sexy, it was distracting.
“You gave up the country life for the city?” he finally teased.
I let out a laugh at his expression and nodded. “Yeah.”
“How’s that working out for you?”
I tilted my head his way, failing to stifle my humor. “If you ignore all the absurdly confusing highways, traffic and noise, then it’s not so bad.”
Blake laughed, deep and throatily. The sound sent an undeniable shiver down my spine. I chastised myself for letting a simple conversation with a man affect me so, as he replied, “That’s a lot to ignore.”
<em>You have no idea,</em> I thought, referring to not being able to deflect his effects on me. I felt my inner strength wavering.
“It is,” I responded in more ways than one, realizing that I needed to get away from here. Being here was too much. <em>He </em>was too much. I swallowed deeply before saying, “Well it was a pleasure to meet you, Blake. But I do have to be going now.” I felt guilty for dismissing myself, so I added, “But maybe I’ll see you around with the other’s another time?”
His gaze turned speculative, and he parted his lips to speak. But he didn’t. The look he was giving me felt as though he could see right through me. It was unnerving.
Within seconds, his eyes shifted again, appearing to let me off the hook.
I released a silent sigh, thankful for his respecting my privacy, and not asking for any explanation.
“Since my two brothers are marrying your friends, I would say there is a good chance.” Blake grinned at last, revealing a sexy dimple at the corner of his mouth.
My eyes were captivated by the faint movement.
<em>Stop thinking about his mouth!</em>
He definitely had a good point, which only made me even more nervous. “I’ll see you later,” I waved with a pleasant smile and excused myself before my nerves melted into a puddle at his feet.
I quickly found Abbey, Gail and Lily, and then each of their significant others to congratulate them and say my goodbyes before racing to my car. All the while feeling like I could not breathe, as though I was being suffocated by thoughts of how breathtakingly handsome Blake was.
After stopping at the store for my mother’s saltine crackers, I sped home, yearning to step through the front doors, so I could be reminded of all the reasons to stay clear away from that man. All it took was sixty seconds of seeing how my father treated my mother, and it was a reality slap that love does not exist.
I would not allow myself to be so effected by a man, and weakened by the idea of having one of my own. I shook my head. Being around Gail, Abbey, and Lily with their men today had just played tricks on my mind. Sure, each of my friends had found great, loving men. But it was a risk I would never take a chance on.
And I would never cave to temptation. It could only lead to a broken heart.

<strong>ABOUT </strong><strong>HIS REVERIE:</strong>
I knew from the moment I first saw her she was the one. The only girl I could ever want.
The only girl I could ever love.
She is light.
I am darkness.
She is innocent.
I’ve done too much.
She is good.
I am bad.
She is my every dream.
I should be her every nightmare.
We come from different worlds. She’s…perfect. And I’m…
Not.
Somehow she wants me anyway. So we’ll grasp at what we can. We’re going to make this summer count. She’s my secret. And I’m hers.
The problem with secrets is they never last for long. And when others discover we’re together, they’ll do whatever it takes to keep us apart. All I know is: I won’t let them.
Because Reverie Hale? She’s mine.<br />
<br />
<b>Review:</b><br />
<br />
4.5 Stars!<br />
<br />
This is the first book I have had the pleasure of reading by Monica and I must say, it certainly won't be the last. His Reverie is inviting, drawing you into the story right away. I found myself wanting to see what would happen next. Nick has a past, one that he feels ruined his life. When he meets Reverie he knows that she is too good for him and he should stay away but finds himself wanting to know her. She is the most beautiful girl he has seen, and is so innocent.<br />
<br />
Reading this book reminded me in parts of The Notebook in a sense. You have the bad boy who doesn't come from money, who isn't good enough, and then you have to beautiful girl who comes from money, has had an easy life and the two want nothing more than to be together. Reverie's family won't approve of their relationship though, Nick is "Unsavory" in their eyes, and absolutely better stay far from their little girl.<br />
<br />
I couldn't help but love watching their relationship unravel. It was a slow, steady love that grows from learning more about the other. Reverie wants to live her own life, to have a romance and love like she reads about but when she learns all of the secrets the Nick is hiding will that love be enough? His Reverie has love, heartache, and is such a great book. I absolutely loved reading it, and following the romance to the end. I am eager to see how their story will play out in book two and can't help but hope for the best for Nick, because he was dealt an awful hand with life until Reverie. Want to know see how this romance begins, then read it!! <3<br />

<strong>HIS REVERIE Excerpt:</strong>
“Thirsty?”
I jump at the sound of a soft female voice, my hand jerking so the hose splashes me right in the face. Muttering a curse, I drop the hose and reach out blindly, wrenching the faucet off with one hand as I swipe at my eyes with the back of the other. I hear the girl laugh and I whirl around, fully prepared to find some bratty preteen Hale daughter mocking me.
But she’s not a preteen. Not even close. More like around my age. She’s tall and slender, her long blonde hair falling far past bared tan shoulders. She’s wearing some sort of sundress or whatever you call it and she’s pretty much covered since it hits just above her knees though her arms are exposed since the dress is sleeveless. The sun catches her just right though, shining through the thin fabric of her skirt so I can see through it.
My gaze drops and all I can see is long, long legs through the shadowy fabric. Damn. Those sexy legs are endless. She clears her throat, like she knows exactly where I’m looking and what I’m thinking and I jerk my gaze up guiltily to meet hers, feeling like a jackass.
That’s when I notice her eyes are blue. As blue as the sky above us, and she’s so damn pretty, with delicate features and pink, pink lips, that I can’t seem to form words.
“Who are you?” she asks curiously. Her voice washes over me, sweet and melodic and now it’s my turn to clear my throat to get the lump out so I can freaking speak.
“Who are you?” I ask back like an idiot.
She smiles shyly and my entire body reacts, a bolt of electricity seeming to go through me. “I asked first.”
“Are you Hale’s daughter?” If she is, that sucks because holy hell she’s hot but yeah.

Regardless, I’m now the proud new owner of a perfectly intact hymen. A lot of good that will do me. I have certain tastes, certain sexual proclivities. My cock is a bit more discriminatory than most. And training a virgin takes finesse and patience – both of which I lack.<br /><br />Sophie Evans has been backed into a corner. With her sister’s life hanging in the balance, the only choice is to claw her way out, even if that means selling her virginity to the highest bidder at an exclusive erotic club. When Colton Drake takes her home, she quickly learns nothing is as it seems with this beautifully troubled man. Being with him poses challenges she never expected, and pushes her to want things she never anticipated. <br /><br />A sinfully seductive erotic romance where everything has a price and the cost of love is the highest of all from New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, Kendall Ryan.</span> </span><b>GoodReads Link</b>: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21947191-filthy-beautiful-lies" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21947191-filthy-beautiful-lies</a><br />

Here is the cover for DANTE'S FIRE, the upcoming title by New York Times Bestselling author Jennifer Probst. The book will be released on August 26th.</h1>
<strong>BOOK BLURB: </strong>
It’s Time To Meet A New Kind Of Hero...
Dante Stark has a dark secret--a legacy left to him by his father which is both a blessing and a curse. A traumatic experience as a small boy gave him special powers of healing, but it comes with a price. Destined to wander the world alone to heal others, he's accepted his fate. Until Selina Rogers forces him to confront his deepest fears, erotic desires, and question his capacity to love.
Selina Rogers has made a name for herself at Inferno Enterprises. She's tough, confident and prepared to succeed. She's also built a world she believes is safe, until she's attacked and then saved by a masked stranger. As he helps her heal physically and emotionally, she becomes fascinated by his overwhelming power and gentle touch. Determined to show Dante the love he's been denying himself, Selina surrenders her heart, and dreams of a future with the mysterious man who completes her.
But will his dark legacy destroy them...or save them both...

I am Ella Knight. I am corrupted. My sister was a victim of Damon's games. It’s my turn to play now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Damon Hunt has been my sole focus, my everything for three years, since my sister’s death. I'll manipulate him. I'll take over his life, consuming and crushing him. I am going to take away his soul. Damon Hunt will not survive my games. I will win.</div>

<span lang="X-NONE"><b>PROLOGUE</b></span></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="X-NONE"><b>February 12th 2014</b></span></h3>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
I look down at Cory and feel
nothing; no joy at breaking him, no happiness at succeeding, and certainly no
sadness over lost love. I don’t really remember feelings nowadays. Love isn’t
real. It hurts people. It’s a word used too often without meaning. I have no
time for love. I am empty. A single vessel floating around a universe of
nothing. I have no reason to feel anymore. No real reason.</div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">The weeping man before me
brings no emotions out in me. They never do, they’re just collateral damage.
They’re all the same - easy to please, easy to hurt, full of broken promises.
The world would be better off without men in it.</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">I didn’t need to ruin Cory.
I was ready when I left Scott. Cory just happened to catch my eye at the right
time. Or wrong time, depending on how you look at it. I want to laugh at his
pathetic display of weakness. Crying over a break up? Disgusting. Love sucks,
get over it already! </span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“You’re weak. Nothing but a
pathetic piece of shit.” I snarl.</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“I don’t understand. Why?
What’s changed since this morning?” his eyes plead with me. This is the part I
like. Seeing how far I can push them. “Baby, I love you.”</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“You think you love me after
three months?” I laugh and shake my head. “You were easy.” </span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“I do. You know I do. You
feel the same, you said you loved me. Why did you fuck him?” I can see the
doubt set in as he looks up at me. I smile. Stupid man.</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“I’ve never loved you. It
was all a game. You were a game.” He sucks in a shocked gasp. “I saw you the
night before in the bar. You’d cheated on your girlfriend, but you were still
trying to make her feel bad for your actions. After you got caught. Like it was
her fault your dick slipped into the redhead. I had to have you then.”</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">I walk to him and crouch
down so we’re eye level. “It took one flash of leg to get your attention. One
smile to get a drink. Three days for you to say you were sorry for the first
time. By day eight you told me you loved me.” I tilt my head to the side to
look at the poor excuse of a man I’ve been shacked up with for the past three
months.</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“Why are you doing this?” he
cries as his head drops forward, shoulders hutched over in defeat.</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“Because I can.” I snap.
“You tried to manipulate a vulnerable woman. You used love to hurt her. I
couldn’t let you get away with that, you needed to feel the pain you caused
your ex.”</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“So this has all been
revenge for Carol?” Cory asks in an incredulous voice.</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“No. I’ve never spoken to
Carol before. This was about more than just your ex, Cory. It was about the man
you are. What you represent. I knew on day five that you would be the easiest.
A few words in your ear and you believed my words over a fourteen year
friendship. Never put hoes before bros, it’s a known fact. That friendship took
twelve days to break. Twelve days as opposed to fourteen years?” I laugh at his
stupidity, shaking my head. “Pathetic.”</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“Tony didn’t?” </span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“Tony certainly did. Just
not the way I told you.” I’m ready to leave. I stand and move to collect my bag
from the kitchen table. “I never needed anything from you. I don’t need
anything from anyone. All that money you’ve
given me, I didn’t need any of it. I just needed to see how hard you would try
to keep me.”</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“Why?” realisation is
finally sinking in. He sounds broken. </span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“Why? Why? Because I lost
everything. All because of a man like you.” I shout at him before calming my
voice. “Your dad never touched me, you know?” a sob tears from his throat, raw
pain. “Sure, he grabbed my arm and made those marks but only after I told him I
was using you. Good thing mummy dearest believed him.” </span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“You bitch.” he cries,
looking torn up. Yes, he’s too broken to even stand up to me. I walk to stand
in front of him. </span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">“I am a bitch. I don’t feel.
I don’t love. I hate. I only hate. I hate you.” I grab a hand full of his brown
hair, squeezing it into a fist then pulling his head back so he’s looking at
me. “I would say it’s been fun but you’re the same as the rest of them. A
lying, cheating, lousy lay. Have fun trying to build bridges.” I push away from
him, stride to the door, and exit, leaving it to slam behind me. </span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">I smile as the cold,
February air stings my face. The winter sun is shining bright. It’s deceiving.
Like me, beauty surrounded by nothing but bitterness. It takes nothing but a
smile to lure men in. </span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">I use them.</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">I manipulate them.</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">I break them.</span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">That’s the best part,
leaving them broken with nothing and no one left. I had everything taken away
from me because of one man. The Demon. </span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">Damon Hunt. </span></div>
<div class="CSP-ChapterBodyTextChar">
<span lang="X-NONE">Damon is a hunter. He preys
on innocent women. He breaks them, tears them apart until they have nothing
more left to give. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Okay, maybe hate is a strong word … Lyla intensely dislikes men.
Her father has let her down her whole life. Her brother betrayed her in the worst way possible. And her past relationship experiences with men have been less than great.
Lyla is focussing all her energy into her band, Vintage, so when they receive an offer to sign with TMS Records, it seems that things are finally turning around for her. The last thing she wants is a man getting in the way.
Tom Carter loves women. Okay, love might be pushing it … Tom enjoys screwing lots of women.
When tragedy befalls his best friend, Tom finds himself making a promise to the big man upstairs – he’ll change his ways, if he saves the woman his best friend loves.
Tom’s prayer is answered. Now he has to change. Which means no sleeping around.
After Vintage’s manager breaks her leg skiing, Tom steps in as tour manager, and Lyla finds herself on tour with the man whore of rock.
Put one perpetually horny Tom and one sex resistant Lyla together, equals a recipe for disaster. Or so you’d think…
But an unexpected friendship is formed. A closeness neither of them expected. Putting one chastity belt and one lamp that is in desperate need of rubbing, to the test.
Will the sex storm that is Tom Carter, finally find himself tamed by the rock chick with a hardened heart, or will he go back to his womanizing ways…?

It's been twelve years since Tru Bennett last saw Jake Wethers, her former best friend and boy she once loved.</div>
Jake Wethers, sexy, tattooed and deliciously bad lead singer, and brains behind The Mighty Storm, one of the biggest bands in the world, left Tru with a broken heart when he moved from England to America with his family when they were both fourteen.
Sent to interview Jake for her music column by the magazine she works for, they are both unprepared for the sparks that fly the instant they reconnect. Only, there’s a complication to their instant feelings for one another—Will, Tru’s boyfriend of two years.
Then Jake makes Tru a job offer she can't refuse—travelling the world with him and his band. But taking the job means leaving Will behind, and being on the road with the band means spending an inordinate amount of time with Jake.
Is Tru strong enough to resist the delectable bad boy who once held her heart so completely, or will she willingly risk it all for one night with the world's most notorious womanizer?

Music journalist Tru Bennett has done the impossible: capture the heart of rock-star bad boy Jake Wethers. Now they’re busy planning a wedding and navigating their new life together in the US. Of course Tru misses London and her best friend, Simone, but living happily ever after with Jake in LA is going to be great…right?
Wrong. Even the bright California sun can’t whitewash the dark side of celebrity coupledom. Greedy music execs, merciless paparazzi, and Jake’s wild past are lurking around every corner. Making matters worse, Jake announces he doesn’t want kids, which just may be a deal breaker.
Tru loves Jake more than anything. But when a devastating crisis threatens to destroy everything they’ve fought for, the couple must face the hard truth: What if, this time, love is not enough?

Hollywood actress Heather Wainwright was looking forward to a long, relaxing break before starting her next shoot. Except her assistant volunteered her for L.A.’s annual 24 Hour Plays.
Nervous about doing a good job for such a worthy charity, Heather falls back on “diva” mode, a defense mechanism that always carries her through. Until she encounters something that really gets on her nerves—a lowly carpenter whose Norse god eyes pierce right through her.
Highly sought-after production designer Seth Rafferty has little patience for A-listers with superior attitudes, which is why his attraction to Heather is absurd. Yet, sensing vulnerability beneath her screen-queen act, he lets her assumptions play out.
After the wrap party, Heather awakens with little memory of the night before—except that Seth gave her the best orgasm of her life, then disappeared. When he shows up on the set of her next movie, she winds up to give him a piece of her mind…and Seth shows her just how stinging hot “chemistry” can get.
Warning: Contains an outwardly snobby actress with a good heart, a delicious carpenter with a power drill, some much-deserved spanking, and an appropriately consensual—if tipsy—orgasm, as well as sex at an inappropriate time of the month.

<b>Excerpt:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The entire back counter had an array of tools—hammers, saws,
screwdrivers, and tools she didn’t know the name of. This was where Seth would
be constructing the set pieces. These must be his tools. He’d touched these
tools, used them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She put her hand out and brushed the items as she walked
along the counter, enjoying the rush that came from knowing they belonged to
the sexy carpenter. Images of him using them filled her mind, turning her
entire body to warm mush.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She let her hand settle on an electric drill. It felt
strange in her grasp, not an item she’d ever find herself in contact with. She
wasn’t even sure she knew how to use one. It was perfect—an unexpected prop and
one that a writer could have a lot of fun with.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But she couldn’t take it…could she?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She heard voices from the stage and could tell the group was
gathering. The intros were about to start. She had no time. She glanced around
to see if she had any other options and spotted an older, more worn drill on
the counter. Black sharpie marked it as <i>“Property
of Broad Stage”</i>. This drill was better. Bigger and more awkward, but she’d
feel less guilty about borrowing it. Without another thought, she picked up the
old drill and began wrapping the cord around its body.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Did you get lost?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She spun around at the sound of the familiar voice—the voice
that made her slippery in her silk panties—and clutched the drill behind her
back.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seth stood in the doorway, one arm propped against the
frame, his blue eyes freezing her to her spot. He wore a plain burgundy T-shirt
and carpenter jeans. She hadn’t imagined
the intensity of her attraction to him—it was real. Just looking at him now
made her chest tight and her lungs struggle for air.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Realizing he’d nearly caught her in the act of “borrowing” a
tool, she threw her shoulders back and put on her best innocent look. “No, I
was…just…trying to find some place I could be alone.” She could feel her
eyelashes fluttering as she spoke, as if they had a mind of their own. Whether
they were trying to hide her guilt or flirting, she wasn’t sure.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God, she was pathetic.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seth narrowed his eyes and approached her with long slow
steps, each making her heart beat faster. “There are lots of places in the
theater to be alone. This isn’t one of them.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It certainly wasn’t. Though she was alone with him. His
words pretty much acknowledging that fact made her lightheaded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He kept coming toward her until he was right beside her. “Aren’t
you supposed to be at the cast Meet and Greet?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Aren’t <i>you</i>
supposed to be there?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ll get there eventually.” He leaned against the counter
and gestured at her with a nod. “Whatcha got behind your back?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His scent, a mixture of soap and sweat and cedar, wafted
from his skin, making her weak in the knees. “Nothing.” <i>Yeah, that didn’t sound childish</i>. “I mean, none of your business.” <i>Oh, much better.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why did speaking to Seth always get her so flustered? He
wasn’t supposed to talk to her, anyway. It was a rule all the crew was
given—only talk to the actors when necessary for the show. That was the
assurance given to protect the stars’ privacy. She clutched onto that rule now
like a life vest. “You aren’t supposed to talk to me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Whoops.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Obviously, Seth didn’t care too much about following rules.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And if he was going to be that way, she wasn’t going to feel
bad about borrowing a drill. She just had to figure how to get out of there
with it. Glancing around, she spotted another exit just behind her. If she
walked backwards, she could make it to that door without him spotting the
drill. She had to try.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well, since I’m essential out there, I better go.” She took
one cautious step away from him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You mean as opposed to me being unessential.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She hadn’t meant for that to sound so snotty. “No.” But it
was true. The Meet and Greet was about the actors. The set was completely
unnecessary. “Well, yes. But…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t fret it, princess. I knew what you meant.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His tone reaffirmed that he’d already made up his mind about
her. He thought she was stuck-up, and wasn’t she? But he didn’t have to parade
his disgust for her. “Whatever.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She took another couple of steps backward, but the cord
slipped from where she’d wrapped it around the drill. Before she realized it,
the heel of her sandal caught on it, throwing her off balance. She cast out her
arms, trying to stop her momentum, but she only managed to postpone the
inevitable fall.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thankfully her plummet was stopped by strong, fast arms that
circled around her waist in a firm grasp.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Whoa.” Seth held her, his face inches from hers, concern in
his eyes mixed with something else. Desire? “You okay?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She stared into his face, at his lips so close she could
kiss them if she lifted her head. She <i>wanted</i>
to lift her head. So bad. “I’m okay.” Her voice was a whisper. “I just
tripped.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His eyes scanned her face, lingering on her mouth. Then
moved lower to her breast line. She felt her skin warm and redden under his
gaze. When his stare found its way back to hers, he unwrapped an arm from her
waist and brought it between them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She tensed, waiting for his touch. Longing for his touch.
Would his hand trail up her arm? Or caress her cheek? Or, though highly
inappropriate, brush her breast? She let out a shaky breath at the thought.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But the touch she longed for didn’t come in any form.
Instead, he pulled the tool she still clutched from her grasp and curled his
lip. “If you needed a drill, princess, all you had to do was ask.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Disappointed and embarrassed, she pushed out of his arms. “Don’t
call me that.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do you need a screw as well?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Stop it, okay.” It surprised her how near tears she was. “I
needed a prop. Are you happy? I knocked over my purse in the car and my
handcuffs must have fallen out and my assistant is clear out in Bel Air picking
up my birth control and she won’t be back in time for the Meet and Greet, even
if I manage to go last and I was desperate so I came in here to look for
something I could use and this was the first thing I found.” Her words tumbled
out in a rush.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He chuckled in a way that both irritated and excited her. “Handcuffs?
Birth control?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her face warmed from equal parts frustration and
humiliation. “Can I just…can I use it?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Can you use what?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“The drill, Seth.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course. I told you all you had to do was ask.” His eyes
sparkled with amusement. “But here—” He exchanged the theater’s drill for his
own still on the counter. “Take mine instead. No one will know who it really
belonged to or that you came unprepared. Now, wasn’t it a good thing that I was
around?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He held out the drill to her and she took it, brushing his
fingertips as she did. The touch shot a surge of electricity through her body.
Still, she said, “This doesn’t make us friends.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His hand sprang out and grabbed her arm just below her
elbow. “Do you really think I want to be friends?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Confused by the roughness of the action and the delight of
his fingers on her bare skin, she didn’t know if she should pull away or lean
in farther. “I…I don’t know what you want,” she managed to stammer, realizing
she didn’t know what she wanted either.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His grasp softened slightly and he drew her closer. For the
second time that night, she thought—no, wished—he would kiss her. Instead, when
his head bent toward her, it stopped near her ear. “Isn’t it too bad that you
won’t let yourself find out?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His husky whisper sent a serious shiver through her body.
For one minute she believed she could let herself find out. That she could
forget her past and everything that Seth represented to her. That she could
fall into his arms and let his mouth and body erase every bad memory and
association she had with people who performed manual labor for a living.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But she’d spent too many years believing just the opposite.
The walls she’d have to break down to let someone like Seth in were pretty
sturdy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When she spoke, her voice didn’t sound like her own. The
tone was meek and unsure and breathy. “I have to go.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes, you do.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He released her and she turned and walked away on unsteady
legs. And just like when she’d left her trailer house at sixteen, she didn’t
look back.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He was like her past. She didn’t need him. She didn’t want
him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
This time, though, the effort to not look was excruciating.<o:p></o:p></div>

<strong>About Laurelin</strong>: Laurelin Paige is the NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of the Fixed Trilogy. She's a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there's kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn't seem to complain, however. When she isn't reading or writing sexy stories, she's probably singing, watching Mad Men and the Walking Dead, or dreaming of Adam Levine.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The song ends and we are left in the middle of the dance
floor staring at each other. Neither of us makes a move to say anything else.
Why can’t I just say yes like any other normal girl would? One of the
bartenders is on the small stage announcing a drink special and something about
a band starting in fifteen minutes. I’m too busy looking into Ryan’s eyes to
really care about either of those two things right now. Before I have a chance
to get my words of acceptance out, Ryan decides to end the moment. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Think about it, about what I said. It’s just a date and I
don’t care if we do it like everyone else or not. Well I care how we do it but
that isn’t important right now.” The heat in his gaze makes me take a step
back, not because I’m not feeling it, but because I am feeling it. I’ve never
had a reaction quite like this one before. I’m quickly figuring out Ryan isn’t
like most guys and I think he’s just the adventure I need to help break out of my
shell.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><strong></strong>Gia Riley is both a Contemporary Romance novelist and book enthusiast. <span style="color: #222222;">Between</span> the <span style="color: #222222;">Pain</span> is Gia’s debut novella, having only written as a hobby in the past. Writing has been a passion of hers since high school, when she took her very first creative writing class. Gia is also an active wife and mother. When she has a quiet moment, she loves to swap her play-doh for her laptop. Gia also loves to travel, listen to music and sing (her husband would advise against this). Cruises are her favorite type of vacation with Belize being her favorite port of call.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Gia believes there is nothing more satisfying than getting lost in a good book! Everyone deserves their happily ever after.</span></div>
