<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Synopsis</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #e06666;">One crazy dog––one awkward vet––one naked pool guy––and one life-changing month in California to make friends, fall in love, and twist fate.
Who gets paid to walk a dog and recline by the pool all day? Sydney Montgomery, aspiring museum curator and professional house-sitter, that’s who.
When her aunt and uncle need a house and dog sitter for thirty days in Palo Alto, Sydney can’t turn down the chance to be closer to her sister in L.A. Within twenty-four hours of her arrival, Sydney’s cleaning up runny dog poo, taking an uncooperative pooch to a handsome yet awkward vet, and being rescued from the bottom of the pool by a naked “pool guy.”
Lautner, “pool guy,” has a hot body and a cool persona. With eyes of iridescent blue oceans, he is mesmerizing, sexy, and addictive. What he is not––the pool guy.
Dr. Lautner Sullivan is a college wide receiver turned pediatric resident. He knows how to woo a woman with flowers, pastries, and sweet tea. Lautner is every girl’s dream, but Sydney is not every girl. She’s immune to rainbows, fairytales, pixy dust, and the “L” word.
The attraction is immediate, the friendship is earned, and the love is undeniable. Thirty days is their forever, but forever is not long enough.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Excerpt</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"> I pour a glass of iced tea and start to walk toward the deck. Then I turn around and pour another glass. “Hospitality is a good thing,” I tell myself, needing only to convince the rational part of my brain.</span></div>
<span style="color: #e06666;">“Tea?” I offer, walking over to the pool.
Aaron sets the skimmer net along the side of the pool.
“Thank you.” The smirk on his face is suspicious and makes me feel like I’m missing some inside joke. He takes the glass from me and I move past him to get a closer look at the pool because I can’t look at him without his shirt and not break into a sweat.
“What are you skimming?”
“Nothing really. I’m stirring the water,” he says matter-of-factly.
This guy is not for real. What does he mean by “stirring the water?” He’s up to something. It’s obvious why Aunt Elizabeth hired him. She must properly clean the pool after he leaves so Trevor doesn’t get suspicious and fire his ass … a very fine ass I will confess.
“And why is it you need to stir the water?” I turn toward him and my eyes dart straight to his broad muscular chest and well-defined abs all kissed by the sun. Jeez, he’s too perfect and I’m … something. Distracted? Mentally lethargic? Crazy? Horny? BINGO!
“So there’s an even consistency of chemicals when I test the water.”
My mouth is agape and I cannot stop looking at him. He bends down to physically capture my attention. Shit! I show no shame staring at his bare chest.
“Hello?” he says, forcing my eyes back to his.
Shaking the inappropriate thoughts from my head, I take a quick sip of my drink to mask my embarrassment.
“Do I need to put my shirt back on?”
I choke on my tea. “No––” I can’t stop coughing. “I mean––” Clearing my throat, I notice his cocky smile. “Put your shirt on or leave it off. Why would I care?”
God, Sydney, could you be a bigger disaster today? The flap of the dog door distracts me. Swarley leaps down the deck stairs. Aaron hunches down like a lineman in anticipation of his overzealous greeting. The problem is, as Swarley races closer I realize he’s not aiming for Aaron. He’s aiming for––
“Oh shit!” I’m catapulted backwards into the pool.
My body makes its descent to the bottom while I open my eyes to see the blurry magnification of Mr. Sex on Legs pool guy standing at the edge looking down at me. I’m considering seeing how long I can hold my breath. Maybe he’ll decide to leave and I can surface from the depths of my own personal Hell without an audience.
Yes! That’s it. I can do this.
I still hold many records from my high school swimming career. Holding my breath until he leaves should be easy. Unless he decides to be heroic and jumps in to save me. Not a bad scenario either. Then at least we’ll both be drenched in our clothes.
Like a leaky raft, I release my breath one bubble at a time and take a seat at the bottom of the pool. Ha! He’s emptying his pockets. Looks like I won’t be the only drowned rat. Wait. What the hell? No he’s not. Oh dear God, yes he is. Sex on legs dives into the pool, sans shorts and underwear! The two haunting notes from Jaws sound in my head while I scramble to the surface in the opposite direction, desperate to get away from him.
The sweet relief of air filling my lungs is squashed by the anxiety of being chased by a naked stranger.
“Oh my God! What are you doing?” A frantic yell breaks out with the remaining breath in my lungs while I swim toward the ladder, barely escaping him. I leap out of the pool with superhuman speed. Wrapping my arms around myself, I scramble to the pool house, my heart racing and my whole body shaking as I fumble for a towel.
“The water feels great today.” His voice sounds behind me.
I whip around and gasp, wide eyed. A wet, naked, sinful-as-a-hot-fudge-sundae body greets me a few feet away. Hands fisted, his arms are casually crossed at his wrists covering part of his junk in the front. The perfect cover to Sports Illustrated stands before me, and all I want to do is smack him across the face to wipe the stupid smirk off it. Then, of course, I want to jump him and rub every sensitive part of my body against his, because right now I’m so pissed and so turned on, I need to dive into the pool again before I self-combust.
“Finish up and get out,” I mumble as I toss him a towel and stomp toward the house. On my way, I pass Swarley beached out in a lounge chair by the pool.
“Evil demon dog!” I scowl at him.

<span style="color: #e06666;">Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor.
With 10 years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys and manage the family business.
After her best friend of nearly 30 years suggested a few books from the Contemporary Romance genre, Jewel was hooked. Devouring two and three books a week but still craving more, she decided to practice sustainable reading, AKA writing.
When she's not donning her cape and saving the planet one tree at a time, she enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, watching <i>How I Met Your Mother</i> reruns, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels.</span>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">EXCERPT:</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Finally, I found the courage to slip my key into the
lock. Quietly, I edged the door open to the darkened room. Muted light bled
from the kitchen. The air inside tasted thick with the unknown. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">My heart rate increased as I chanced a step deeper into
the room. I could hear him, the shallow breaths he panted into the room, this
tension that radiated through the enclosed space. For a moment I stilled.
Pictures of us playing as kids ran through my mind, the way he’d wait for me to
catch up then tug at my hair when I finally did. <i>Hurry up, slow poke, before
your brother makes you go home</i>. The memories of that boy drew me forward. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">My eyes slowly adjusted to the faint light. His outline
came into view, this unrecognizable man stretched out across the length of the
couch. Lost in sleep, his bare chest rose and fell, the motion almost labored,
as if he struggled to get his lungs to work. One arm was flung over his face.
He slept in his jeans, his feet extended at the end of the couch. The entirety
of his exposed body was marked, covered in lines and colors and indistinct
designs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I edged forward. An unknown fascination twitched my fingers,
and I fought with the need to feel something familiar in the backdrop of
someone who was so entirely unfamiliar. I held my breath as I closed in on the
couch, inched forward and allowed my gaze to travel along his body. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">His eyes popped open, and I gasped as I stumbled back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">He jerked to sitting, eyes wild as they worked to focus
on me. They softened minimally as he took me in, roamed and searched. Even
then, they pinned my back to the wall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I just stood there, breathless. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">When he whispered, his voice pierced something inside of
me. “<i>Aly</i>?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I was a fool if I ever thought I could let it go. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I blinked and tried to orient myself, forcing myself to
speak. “I’m sorry for waking you.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">He said nothing, just watched me with fiery eyes. I
fidgeted and dropped my face under the intensity of his gaze. Flattening myself
against the wall, I slid further down the hall and fumbled behind me to find my
door knob. I pushed it open and escaped inside because I had no idea what to do
with all the thoughts that tumbled through my mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I stood in the middle of my room, staring at the back of
my closed door. A faint glow crawled in from underneath. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Shedding my clothes and damp suit, I pulled on a new
pair of panties, some sleep shorts, and a matching tank. I crawled onto my bed,
flopped on my back, and stared at the ceiling. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">My pulse accelerated as I thought of him just on the
other side of my door. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Jared Holt was here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">A whisper of a smile edged my mouth. He was real, no
longer this veiled mystery that I’d hidden away in my heart. He breathed. He
lived. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">And God, if he wasn’t the most beautiful thing I’d ever
seen.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

towered over me. As he approached, my eyes caressed the sharp angles of his
face. My attention jumped along the deformed, warped story played out on his
chest and down the deep lines cut into his rugged stomach. His hips jutted out
above his tight underwear, something so tempting in the way he moved. Sinewy
muscle bunched and flexed beneath the color of his strong arms, bristled in the
corded strength of his powerful legs. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>From the</b><i> New York Times</i><b> bestselling author of </b><i><b>Come to Me Softly</b></i><b>, </b><b>another irresistible new adult romance in the Closer to You Series.</b><br /></span> <span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #76a5af;"><i>His heart was turned off…</i><br /></span> <span style="color: #76a5af;"><i>Until she turned him on….</i><br /></span> <span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /><br />
Christopher Moore gave up on the idea of love years ago. Now, his life
is an endless string of parties and an even longer string of girls.
Enjoying the physical perks with none of the emotional mess, he’s
convinced everyone that he’s satisfied—everyone but himself.<br /></span> <span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /><br />
Samantha Schultz has moved on with her life. Finishing her student
teaching and living with her boyfriend, she’s deluded herself into
believing she’s content. But there is one boy she never forgot—her first
love—and she keeps the memory of him locked up tight. She will never
allow any man to break her the way Christopher did.<br /></span> <span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /><br />
When Christopher’s sister and her family move into a new neighborhood,
Christopher is completely unprepared to find Samantha living at the end
of the street. Memories and unspent desires put them on collision course
of sex, lies, and lust. But when guilt and fear send Samantha running,
Christopher will have to fight for what has always been his. </span></div>

<span style="color: #ea9999;">The best aerial technique won’t land 21-year-old Thora James her dream role in Amour—a sexy new acrobatic show on the Vegas strip. Thora knows she’s out of her element the second she meets Amour’s leading performer. Confident, charming and devilishly captivating, 26-year-old Nikolai Kotova aggravatingly lives up to his nickname as the “God of Russia.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999;">When Thora unknowingly walks into the crosshairs of Nikolai’s after-show, her audition process begins way too soon. Unprofessional. That’s what Nik calls their “non-existent” relationship. It’s not like Thora can avoid him. For one, they may be partners in the future—<i>acrobatic </i>partners, that is. But getting closer to Nik means diving deeper into sin city and into his dizzying world. </span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999;">Thora wants to perform with him, but when someone like Nikolai attracts the spotlight wherever he goes—Thora fears that she’s destined to be “just background” to his spellbinding show.</span><br />

<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><b>Synopsis</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><i>Strong ties aren't easily broken...</i>
First loves have the ability to fill us with hope and then shatter us when they end. Some people can pick up the pieces and move on. Others simply learn how to exist as a fragment of the person that they used to be.
Shane “Mack” MacAllister is one of the ones simply existing. His wife Ella died at a young age, leaving him alone and broken. Shane knew he’d never be able to give himself to another, believing there was nothing left to give. That is until a young, feisty doctor blazed into his life and made him rethink letting someone into what’s left of his tattered heart.
Dr. Megan Huntley has devoted her life to taking care of others, ever since her twin sister was brutally murdered. She might not have been able to save her sister, but she has made it her mission to help other victims. Long hours in the Emergency Room and volunteer work at the Rape Crisis Center leave little time for relationships. When Megan meets the rugged and handsome Shane MacAllister, she decides to throw caution to the wind and take the police detective for a ride. Too bad she can’t get him out of her head… or her life.
Will Shane and Megan be bound together by true love? Or will past loves and tragedy tear them apart?</span>

<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><b>Excerpt</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">**Disclaimer: This content is unedited and subject to change**
Copyright © Jessica Ingro
When the engine on my Harley stopped purring, I put the stand down and took off my helmet. Staring at Megan’s brownstone I wondered what the fuck I was doing there. It had been hours since I left the station and I successfully talked myself out of seeing her numerous times. There was no talking myself out of it now.
Something inside me needed to see her. Maybe it was hearing John say her sister’s death ate at her every day; knowing that I had a kindred spirit in her. Maybe it was the urge to bury myself inside her tight, wet heat and forget everything except how she made me feel. Maybe it was the way her eyelids fluttered when she came down from an orgasm. Or maybe it was the way her touch soothed me and made me ache for more than just the occasional fuck.
Whatever it was, it had me walking up to her front door and hoping she wouldn’t ask too many questions. I wasn’t ready to have to dig deep and find the answers to those questions.
After the second knock, she opened the door. Her face was makeup free, her hair falling across her shoulders and past her breasts. She had on a skimpy yellow tank top and short white shorts. Her tanned legs looked soft and smooth and in that moment I wanted nothing more than to have them wrapped around my back.
“Mack?” She asked with a mixture of concern and surprise in her voice.
Instead of answering her, I put my hands on either side of her face and kissed her. My tongue touched her lips and she immediately opened for me. She tasted even better than I remembered.
Still kissing her, I walked forward forcing her to walk back into the house. When we got to the stairs, I swept her up in my arms and hoofed it up to her bedroom on the third floor, only breaking the seal of our lips when necessary.
Once in her room, I set Megan on the bed and used the weight of my body to push her down on her back. Covering her with my body, my hands moved with purpose over her skin. One hand cupped her breast, while the other groped her ass. She moaned and pressed her breast further into my palm. Her beaded nipple was begging for attention.
Fuck, but I needed her.
Not wanting to waste any more time, I made quick work of undressing us both. Once she was laid out before me, I fought back a groan at how fucking beautiful she was. And so damn perfect.
She looked up at me with those beautiful brown eyes, submissively waiting for me to direct how things would go. That damn vulnerability and trust was my undoing. I lost all composure, positioned and buried myself to the hilt. Her arms and legs wrapped around my body, tightly holding me to her as I pumped in and out.
My eyes fought rolling back into my head with how damn good she felt. That’s when I realized I didn’t wrap my dick.
Slowing my thrusts—because shit it felt too good to stop—I asked her, “You on the pill, buttercup?”
Her eyes blinked, a haze of lust and need clouding them. “What?” She asked breathlessly.
“I asked if you’re on the pill. I’m inside you bareback, baby. Is that okay?”
“Oh,” she murmured. “We’re covered. Now can you go faster?”
I chuckled, but quickly obliged her. It wasn’t long before she was moaning and I could feel her muscles contracting right before she came.
“Mack,” she cried out.
“Shane,” I corrected her.
“What?” She asked with a confused look on her face. It was rather quite adorable.
“When I’m inside you, you call me Shane,” I told her. Why? I have no idea. This certainly wasn’t discouraging her from thinking this was more than it was. I never let anyone call me Shane when I fucked them. Not since Ella.
Blocking the thought from my head, I buried myself deep and circled my hips, hitting her swollen, sensitive clit.
“Shane,” she breathed as her climax hit her. Her nails scored my back and I made a mental note to let her have free reign more often.

She’s worked her entire young life to make it here.<br /><br />Groomed to one day take over his father’s law firm, attending Columbia University was Christian Davison’s only option. <br /><br />Neither wanted anything more until they sat across from each other at a café table after being paired as study partners.<br /><br />Christian wants her, but Elizabeth knows better than to give into their intense attraction.

<span style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">EXCERPT:</span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;">“So how’s your math class going?” Christian wiped a napkin over his mouth, sat back in his chair with a</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">satisfied sigh as he pushed his plate away. Completely casual, he appeared to be unaware of the chaos</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">he created in me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">“Okay, thanks to you.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">A smirk pulled at his mouth. “What would you do without me, Elizabeth?”</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">“Oh, I don’t know, find another cute boy to help me with math,” I said, anticipating his reaction if I</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">teased him a little.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">For a flash, his eyes narrowed, then a dangerous grin spread across his face. “So I’m just dispensable,</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">huh? Easily replaced?” He hunched and lowered, pressed his chest into the table to meet me at eye</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">level, this slow playfulness coming across him. “How about I let you fail next time?”</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">“Well how about I feed you the wrong answers when we study for our next government test?” I</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">countered.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">He faked a disbelieving laugh, a gentle ribbing that twisted its way straight to my heart. He was so cute</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">like this, like a harmless boy and not the man who made me fearful, not the one who urged me to hold</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">onto my affections, careful not to let them go.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">“You’re going to feed me the wrong answers, huh? You?” he challenged.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">The entire meal I’d felt his leg stretched under the table, reaching, giving in to casual brushes, then</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">receding as if they hadn’t happened.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">Now Christian abruptly extended his leg, wove it between my legs, direct and bold. My breath caught. It</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">was the closest we’d ever come to an embrace.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">I averted my gaze, but couldn’t for long because I could feel him staring at me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">His voice dropped. “You, sweet Elizabeth, the most innocent girl I know, is going to feed me the wrong</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">answers? I bet you’ve never even told a lie.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">Heat flooded my face.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">He was taunting me, prodding. Is that what he really thought of me? Innocent? But honestly, I guess I</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">was. Well maybe not innocent. . .just inexperienced. I had no idea how to play Christian’s games, no idea</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">of what the girls he surrounded himself with were like, although I could only imagine. It had to be my</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">greatest disadvantage. Vulnerability oozed from my consciousness, and I shifted in discomfort.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">Christian could devour me whole.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">His expression shifted as he edged even closer, his voice a whisper, “Just how innocent are you,</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">Elizabeth?”</span><br />

done too much harm. He stood silently and watched the man who was only supposed
to be her friend sit in the spot where he should have been. He watched Matthew
adoring the girl who deserved every touch and embrace, the girl who deserved a
man better than he knew himself to be. She deserved a man like Matthew who had
stepped up and filled the place Christian should never have stepped away from.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">He allowed the pain to well up in his chest, and he said
a silent goodbye to the girl he would always love. He stepped back and let the
door close between them. As he escaped down the hall, he trained his attention
on the floor, not allowing himself to look through the large glass window where
he knew his child slept. He knew if he saw, he would never be able to walk
away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="ChapterBody">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I pushed her up against the window. Elizabeth grunted. She
sagged against the expansive sheet of glass, the perfect lines of her body
silhouetted against the backdrop of the city that seemed to echo my past, the
memories so thick, they seemed almost alive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterBody">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I took a step back and let my eyes wander over the one who
inhabited them all. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterBody">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Gradually the lines of that beautiful face came into
focus, and for a moment, my gaze got lost in the amber warmth of her soft brown
eyes. Devotion pumped steadily through my veins. I loved her. Loved her with
everything, with my life, with my soul.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterBody">
<span style="color: #e06666;">And I was going to spend my entire life proving it to her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterBody">
<span style="color: #e06666;">My actions were slow and deliberate as I knelt down in
front of her, watching the way her lips parted when I did. I slipped my hands
under the hem of her dress, ran them up the softness of her thighs and around
to cup her perfect, round bottom, my fingers brushing lace and satin. Her dress
was all bunched up on my forearms as I hiked it around her hips. The long
length of her toned legs were exposed as she stood there trembling in her
boots. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterBody">
<span style="color: #e06666;">“You have the sweetest ass, Elizabeth,” I whispered as I
burrowed my fingers into the delicate flesh. There was no stopping the
overwhelming rush of need that burned through my system when I touched her this
way. Flames licked at my skin and pulsed heat into my veins. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterBody">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Every single inch of my body hardened. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterBody">
<span style="color: #e06666;">“You always have,” I said as I stared up at her. “Do you
know that? The first time I saw you ten years ago in that little cafe, all I
could think about was finding out what you had hidden underneath your clothes.
And it’s perfection, Elizabeth. Every inch of you is perfection.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterBody">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Elizabeth watched down on me with dark, hungry eyes.
Deliberately my hand slid around to her front. My tongue darted out to wet my
lips as I nudged her legs farther apart. I ran my knuckles over the scrap of
dampened lace between her thighs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterBody">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Vibrations shook her, and she grasped my shoulders for
support. “Christian,” pushed from her lungs in a quiet plea, her fingers
desperate as they curled in my shirt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterBody">
<span style="color: #e06666;">My name on her tongue sounded like heaven. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ChapterBody">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I suppressed a pained groan and let my hands trail back
down her legs to the top of her boots. I sat back a little, one knee on the
floor and the other bent with my foot planted in front of me. I brought her
foot up to rest on my knee. “I want you to remember this night, Elizabeth.”
Slowly I dragged the zipper down the inside of her leg to her ankle. The
distinct sound infiltrating the hush of the room slammed me with a shot of
lust, curled as the tightest knot in the pit of my stomach. I had to will
myself to keep it under control, to go slow, because I wanted to savor this night.
“I want you to forever remember the first time I make love to you in the city
where we started all those years ago.” </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">I have been known by many names throughout my young life, but no one knows the true identity of who I really am.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">The evil that’s about to strike down on Russia’s powerful men isn’t from their neighbouring countries. It’s from me, the one they call Ten' smerti … Death’s Shadow.</span>

<span style="color: #ffd966;"><b>Synopsis</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">The 29th of February, the day I was born.<br /><br />When I wake up on this day, I’m in a different city, with a different life and no memory of the lives I had before this one. Today is the tenth time this has happened to me. The tenth time I’ve had to figure out where the hell I am. The tenth time I’ve had to try and work out who the hell I am. This is the tenth alteration of the person I am. Each of us has had different lives, different backgrounds and different families. But there’s always been one constant.<br /><br />Him.<br /><br />He’s the reason I keep doing this. He’s the reason I spend four years searching. If I’m lucky, I’ll get the trigger and find him quickly and we can spend those four years together before I disappear again. If I’m not, we might get a year, a month or even just a day. Once we got nothing, but that was a choice.<br /><br />And every time it happens, he patiently waits for me. He says that every time I come back to him, it’s like falling in love with me all over again. I say that every time I come back, I fall even more in love with him than before.<br /><br />It scares me that one day I won't be able to find him at all, because when that day comes, I'm not sure I'll want to keep going. He is my strength, my protector, my one and only constant.<br /><br />I love him.<br />He loves me.<br />But every four years, I lose myself.<br />And every four years, I have to find him.<br />This is our story.</span></div>

<span style="color: #ffd966;"><b>Excerpt</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">“Aren’t you supposed to be studying,” Ben asks, never stopping the sit-ups he’s doing on the floor of his bedroom. I’m sprawled out on his bed supposedly doing some study for my English final tomorrow, but more distracted by what’s going on in front of me.
I smile at him. “I am studying,” I say, knowing it’s true, even if it’s not exactly the stuff I’m supposed to be studying.
Ben smiles as he does a couple more sit-ups before collapsing back on the floor, his hands behind his head as he stares up at me. “You sure about that?” he asks.
I stare at him lying on the floor beside me. I still can’t believe how unbelievably gorgeous he looks in this life. Can’t get over the fact that Ben is all mine.
“Evie, babe,” Ben says, still smiling. “What are you thinking about?” he asks, a question which seems to come up a lot these days.
I’m sure the look on my face gives me away, but I tell him anyway. “You.”
Ben’s smile gets wider. “Oh yeah,” he says, that cheeky grin out in full force. “What about me?”
I smile as I slide off the bed and onto the floor, crawling towards him. “How good you look,” I whisper, as I lean down to kiss him.
Ben kisses me back as he says, “Good? Just good?”
I can’t help but laugh as I slide my hand up and under his sweaty t-shirt. I feel his stomach contract at my touch and it only highlights all the firmness of his muscles, the warm, tight skin that covers them. “Really good?” I suggest.
Ben laughs now, his eyes still watching me. I’m staring at my hand, watching it as my fingers slowly pull his t-shirt higher. His skin is covered in sweat and I watch my fingers slide over his stomach, tracing the outline of his hips, the trail of hair that leads from his belly button and lower down. I still haven’t found out how far down it goes and right now, that’s the only thing I’m thinking about.
As my fingers brush along his waistband, Ben groans, and I notice the tightness in the front of his track pants. Unable to resist, I lower my hand, my fingers caressing him on the outside of the fabric. He’s already hard and I can’t help but bite my bottom lip, mesmerised by the fact that I can do this to him.
“Evie, what are you doing, baby?” Ben whispers, his voice strained as though he’s trying to keep himself under control. What I am doing is a risk, but right now, it’s one I’m willing to take.
I glance up at his face and see his eyes are closed. With my hand still on his crotch, I lean in and press a kiss to his lips. “I’m studying,” I whisper.

I have a soft spot for romance novels with happily ever afters and a hot spot for alpha males! I currently live outside Toronto, Canada with my hubby and two small children. Life is busy, but never to busy for a good story and to share my love of reading and writing with others.

<span style="color: #76a5af;">The Devil's Dust MC has a list of new threats to the club's lifestyle. Dani, to prove her loyalty, is trying to embrace a part of herself that she never knew existed until now. A sinful beast lurking beneath her surface has been awakened and is ready to eliminate anyone that stands in its way. Looking at her stained hands, she rinses the blood from them. She resigns herself to innocence lost and welcomes her thirst for more blood.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af;">After a breathtaking turn of events, Shadow is looking at life in a different perspective. Not knowing who he can trust or who he can forgive has left him feeling desolate and alone. As Shadow is laying behind his rifle, he wonders if he can pull the trigger to eliminate the threat. He takes a deep breath and squeezes the trigger, the rifle recoil ignites the fuel that drives him.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af;">Retaliations will be required.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af;">Redemption will be lost.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af;">Betrayal so deep, yet they still yearn for one another. Can Shadow overlook Dani’s transgressions? Can Dani overlook the mistrust that Shadow has placed upon her?

M.N. Forgy was raised in Missouri where she still lives with her family. She's a soccer mom by day and a saucy writer by night. M.N. Forgy started writing at a young age but never took it seriously until years later, as a stay-at-home mom, she opened her laptop and started writing again. As a role model for her children, she felt she couldn't live with the "what if" anymore and finally took a chance on her character's story. So, with her glass of wine in hand and a stray Barbie sharing her seat, she continues to create and please her fans.</span>

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Synopsis</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Brooke Willis had everything she ever wanted: a happy marriage, volunteer placement at the art gallery, and the promise of starting a family with the man of her dreams.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Saxon Reed had everything he ever thought he needed: a successful career, nice cars, expensive apartment, and more money than he knew what to do with.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">After losing her husband Brooke insists on taking over his company to keep his dreams alive. Struggling in an industry she knows nothing about, Brooke turns to Saxon, her husband’s best friend and business partner, for guidance and support. Their mutual grief, and Saxon’s need to look after his best friend’s wife, creates a connection beyond just business.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Can Brooke take over the company and find a new life without saying goodbye to the past? Can Saxon protect and care for Brooke without scaring her away?</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">What happens when your heart doesn’t listen to your head? When lines are crossed and boundaries are pushed? </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>“Life goes on, whether you choose to move forward and take a chance in the unknown or stay behind, locked in the past, thinking of what could've been. I don’t want to live in the past anymore. I’m so lonely; there’s nothing for me here.”</i>

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Excerpt</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">“So?” I say, desperate to hear what she thinks in the hope she’ll tell me what to do.
“Fuck,” she breathes out. “Fuck.”
“I know, right? I have no idea what I’m doing, and I’m starting to feel like it’s careening out of control.”
“Starting to?” Her voice is high-pitched. “Brooke, fuck. This got out of control the minute you two started working together.”
“Well, I think that’s over-exaggerating a little,” I tell her, annoyed.
“Brooke, Saxon has always had a thing for you. What did you think sleeping with him on a regular basis was going to do? He has feelings for you. From what you say, very deep feelings. Do you feel the same?”
“What? I don’t know? Maybe? No.”
“Huh?”
“Shit, Rach, I care for him deeply. He means the world to me and has been my biggest support since Nate.” She frowns. “You know what I mean. Seeing him and spending time with him <i>every day</i>, we’ve naturally become close.” She nods, relenting. “But deep feelings? Yeah, I guess I do, but I don’t want this to go any further.”
“Why not?”
“Why not?” I scream. “What do you think? He’s Nate’s best friend, Rachel. I couldn’t do that to Nate.”
“Brooke, sweetie. You aren’t doing anything to Nate. Nate’s not here, Brooke. You aren’t cheating or being unfaithful to him. He’s gone, and it’s nearly been a year,” she says softly, trying to placate me.
“I feel like I’m choosing between them.” Tears well up in my eyes before falling down my cheeks.
Rach moves into the chair next to me and hugs me to her. “You can’t choose between them, Brooke. You don’t have that option. Nate isn’t here. He isn’t a choice.”

<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Synopsis</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Behind every beautiful thing, there is some kind of pain...</b><br /><br />Always overlooked. Always just there. That's what Dillon was to me.<br /><br />Until one night.<br /><br />In one night she flipped my world on its axis and there's no going back. But she has secrets, and secrets fester like an open wound. They color the past and forecast the future, but I'm determined to open her up; free her from her memories so she can live in the light and have the life she deserves.<br /><br />It's just too bad that she wants nothing to do with me. But I'm nothing if not persistent and I'm not a man that gives up without a fight. I've had a taste and there's no walking away.<br />I just have to convince her that I'm not what she fears, I'm what she wants.<br /><br /><br />Slade, like Wild and Ridge, is a standalone.<br />Reading Wild and Ridge first will provide some back story, but is not required to read Slade.</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Excerpt</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">“I guess I should have talked to you about…the other weekend. I get the sense that you wanted to do those things to me. Fair assumption?”
Fair.” I nodded, afraid of the next words to come out of her mouth.
“Well, I’m not sure I’m into that. It looks pretty fucking terrifying.”
“It’s all about trust. I’ll never take you farther than you want to go.”
She huffed and averted her hardened gaze. “I have issues with that.”
“No shit.” I mumbled. Her eyes cut to mine. “I read you like a book, Dillon. You think I didn’t realize that you have trust issues when you can't even look me in the eye when I’m inside you?” I ran a lock of her champagne hair between my callused fingers.
She scrunched her nose and looked out to white-capped waves crashing against grey stone.
“I want to earn your trust.” I took a step closer.
“Who says I want you to? I never asked you to. We were just messing around, Slade. If you hadn’t noticed, I mess around with a lot of people.”
Red flames licked my vision. My fists clenched at my sides and every muscle in my body went rigid. “You still fucking around with other people?”
“If I was?”
“Fuck, Dillon. I haven’t been with anyone since we started–”
“Started what? Started <i>fucking</i>? I’m just the town slut. Down for a fun time, nothing more. Surprised one of your buddies didn't warn you not to get involved with me.”
“Oh, they did.” I grumbled, thinking back on Wild's warning not to get wrapped up in Dillon. Too little, too late. That ship had sailed.
She arched full eyebrows at me, gnawed her lips between her teeth until they turned winter white while anger flared in her indignant eyes. “Don’t fucking come back to my house, Slade. Don’t fucking do it. From the beginning you've acted like you have some sort of macho bullshit claim on me, why is that?” She nailed me with her pointer finger.
“Because you’re mine.”

<span style="color: black;"><b>Synopsis</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">'Happily Ever After' doesn't always mean forever...</span>
<span style="color: black;">It doesn't mean shit.</span>
<span style="color: black;">I lost my husband hours after I married him, hours after we'd just promised each other the world and said "I do." I was Mrs.Tyler West in a gorgeous white gown one day, and a sobbing widow in black the very next.</span>
<span style="color: black;">It's been four years and I can still feel that raw and painful emptiness in my chest. Especially since I know who was responsible for the tragedy: Luca Jensen. The best man.</span>
<span style="color: black;">I've always hated the fact that he survived and was relieved when he left town amidst all the rumors...</span>
<span style="color: black;">But now he's back.</span>
<span style="color: black;">To explain. To see me. To try to change how I feel about him, in more ways than one.</span>
<span style="color: black;">He thinks I'm going to listen, that I'm going to let him walk back into my life as if he wasn't the very one who tore it apart. He thinks I don't know the whole story, and that I've been living a lie.</span>
<span style="color: black;">Even if that is the case, I'd much rather cope with my deceptive memories, than embrace the unspeakable truths...</span>

<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>Synopsis</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>In darkness, we find danger. In danger, I find Beau.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af;">Ash is a prison guard, she's tough, she's strong and she never backs away from a fight. She takes her job seriously, she takes her training seriously, and everything in her life goes as planned.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af;">Until the day he is brought into the prison. </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af;">She'll never forget meeting Beau 'Krypt' Dawson for the first time. She'll never forget his haunted eyes and his numb expression. He's a member of the Jokers Wrath MC and it is said he killed an innocent family in the middle of a cafe, in cold blood. </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af;">Deranged. Crazy. Psychotic.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;">All those words describe the infamous Krypt, but Ash suspects there's far more to the quiet man than meets the eye. Secrets are being hidden by the club, information is being kept under wraps. Krypt is silent for a reason. </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af;">Ash is desperate to know that reason. </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af;">Continually fighting, Krypt is transferred to a high security prison. Ash is in charge. She's always prepared, always alert. Not even her skills will stop the club from ambushing them and taking back Krypt. Only Ash ends up right in the middle of it. </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;">They take her, too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af;">Now she's stuck with a Motorcycle Club who are tougher than any prisoner she's ever laid eyes on. And they won't let her go. She's too much of a risk. Until the situation can be sorted, they send her and Krypt into the mountains together....alone. </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;">An epic, dangerous love will be built on the foundations of darkness.
</span><br />

<span style="color: #76a5af;">He growls once more and then ends the call, spinning to me. “Get in that room, now.”<br />“Not sure that’s a good idea,” I say, taking a step back. <br />He lunges for me, catching hold of my wrist and hurling me so hard against his body he loses his towel. I squeal, but he keeps his arm pinned around me, pressing my thighs against his very naked body. His cock is resting on my belly, even though I can’t feel the skin, I can feel it’s presence there.<br />“Your….your….”<br />“My fuckin’ cock is on your stomach, if you keep misbehaving I’ll find a better place for it.”</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">My name was Dr. Erica Hill. I was a victim, then a witness, and then I cea<span class="text_exposed_show">sed to exist altogether.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #e06666;">I may still be breathing, but stripped of my identity, I have long since stopped living. I am invisible, and my life depends on my ability to stay in the shadows.
But he sees me.
Slate Andrews is the embodiment of everything I have been taught to avoid. He’s rich and famous, and one image of him with a woman would earn millions for any paparazzi lucky enough to snap it. He has vowed to protect me with his life, yet he exposes me with his every breath. I should be stronger and walk away. I should disappear. But I’m terrified he would come after me.
I’m on the run, determined not to take him down with me but absolutely unable to let him go.
My name is Riley Peterson…at least for today.

<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b>Synopsis</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">There’s a new beautiful player in town…<br /><br />Blake Burns, the sexy head of SIN-TV, who goes through women like some go through water. Until he meets Jennifer McCoy, his outspoken new assistant and development executive.<br /><br />Newly engaged Jennifer has no idea that her devastating new boss is the man she kissed, blindfolded, in a game of Truth or Dare. That kiss, that man, that beautiful stranger she cannot forget.<br /><br />Blake hasn’t been able to stop thinking about that kiss either…and he’ll do anything to win Jennifer —even if it means being a beautiful bastard and breaking all the rules.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b>Excerpt</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">“Kiss him, kiss him!” I heard my friends chanting in the distance.
Oh, God. What was I going to do? I couldn’t let them down or I’d never live it down. I’d come this far. Without overthinking, I blindly ran my hands over my victim’s face. His skin was soft with a fine layer of silky stubble, and his features were distinct and defined—a straight manly nose, a strong, slightly clefted chin, and above it, a set of lush, velvety lips. I lingered on his lips, tracing them with my fingertips, building up the courage to touch down on them with my own.
“I hope you don’t mind, but I’m playing a game of Truth or Dare, and I have to kiss you.” God, how ridiculous I must sound and look with my blindfold.
I took my victim’s silence as a sign he was willing to play along. <i>Okay, here goes</i>. Clutching his angular jaw between my hands, I bent down to kiss him. But before I could latch my lips onto his, he rose and, in one swift move, crashed his lips onto mine.
Oh. My. God. A heat wave shot through me. It was one of those kisses like in a movie. Fierce, delicious, passionate. Opened mouth and oh so consuming. And he tasted divine—the sweet taste of champagne lacing his breath. He bit my upper lip, forcing me to part my lips, and plunged his warm, velvety tongue inside my mouth. His tongue instantly found mine and they entwined, dancing like they’d been together forever. He tugged hard on my ponytail, yanking back my head, and coiled it around his hand, tearing at my roots. The delicious pain mixed with the delicious pleasure of his kiss, sending a rush of erotic sensations through me. Every nerve ending was a sparking little fuse. My breathing grew shallow. Already lightheaded, I was now borderline delirious. I’d never been kissed by a man like this before. I didn’t want him to stop. What was wrong with me? I’d just gotten engaged.
In the background, I could vaguely hear my friends cheering and whistling. “Go, girl!” For sure, head cheerleader Chaz.
My inner voice told me to stop, but no matter how much I willed it, I couldn’t get my lips to part from his. In fact, I deepened the kiss, pulling him closer to me by the collar of his shirt. The material felt expensive, like the gazillion thread Egyptian cotton kind. Everything about this man tasted and felt divine. He squeezed my ponytail tighter. I moaned into his mouth and he moaned back. God, the throaty sound of him was sexy!
And then suddenly, as fast as he had plunged his tongue into my mouth, he withdrew it. In tandem, he let go of my hair. I gasped, desperate for more.
“Wait!” I cried out, my hands grappling for him. Instead of finding him, I found myself knocking over a chilled glass. My heightened sense of smell told me it was his champagne.
“I’m sorry,” I croaked, struggling to tear off the tight, blinding tie. “I’ll buy you another glass.” Finally, I undid the tie. I blinked once. He was gone, and I was painfully all alone. Where did he go? My eyes frantically searched the pulsating crowd, darting left and right, but he was nowhere to be found. Even if he was facing me somewhere, staring into my eyes, I wouldn’t know it because I didn’t know what he looked like.
My friends were now all standing and applauding me. I’d lived up to the dare. Kissed a strange man on the lips, Oh those lips!
Dazed, I staggered back to the group and dared not tell them how much I’d enjoyed it. And wanted more.

<span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>Synopsis</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;">Lies. Heartbreak. Betrayal.
No one knew the devastation of those three words more than Faith Winston and five years ago, she endured every one of them. All she wanted was to feel safe and marry the very man who promised to love her and protect her, Ryker Knight.
But growing up in the Nordic Lords Motorcycle Club, she should have known she couldn’t have a happy ending. Instead, her world became a nightmare. The bikers—her family—abandoned her, leaving her to crash without their safety net.
Ryker Knight has spent the last five years consumed with guilt, running from the ghosts that haunt him. That is until his past catches up with him the moment his brother needs his help. Returning home to Jasper Bay, he’s forced to face the same ghosts he was running from. Only to find that the woman he loved is trapped in a hell of her own, entrenched behind enemy lines —and it’s all his fault.
And even though Ryker’s life comes with priorities that he can’t – and won’t - turn his back on, he refuses to leave Jasper Bay until he’s found Faith.
But will she want to return to the life she’s always wanted even if Ryker is no longer capable of giving her what he once promised?

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i>Stay up all night with the sexy rockers in Stage Dive, the epic rock star romance series from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott, author of Lick and Play.</i>
As the lead singer of Stage Dive, Jimmy is used to getting whatever he wants, whenever he wants it, whether it's booze, drugs, or women. However, when a PR disaster serves as a wake-up call about his life and lands him in rehab, he finds himself with Lena, a new assistant to keep him out of trouble.
Lena's not willing to take any crap from the sexy rocker and is determined to keep their relationship completely professional, despite their sizzling chemistry. But when Jimmy pushes her too far and Lena leaves, he realizes that he may just have lost the best thing that ever happened to him.
</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Excerpt</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">“Lena, you seen my old black Led Zep shirt?”
“Nope.”
“You sure?” His brows became one dark cranky line. The scratches on his face were healing well, thank goodness. Though it didn’t reduce my desire to throttle his mother on a daily basis.
“Yes. I haven’t seen it.”
Can’t find it anywhere…”
“And this is a surprise, how?” I slipped my hands into my back jean’s pockets. “Jimmy, you own more clothing than Cher, Brittney, and Elvis, put together. Things are bound to go missing.”
“Sure you haven’t seen it?”
“For goodness sake, what do you think, Jimmy? That I stole it to sleep in or something?” I laughed bitterly. Sure as hell, the truth deserved a good mocking. I’d sunk so despicably low.
I hadn’t even meant to steal the stupid thing, but the shirt had been mixed up with my laundry a few days ago. It’d been the first top I laid my hand on after stepping out of the shower, ready to go to bed. Without thought, I’d put it on and it’d been so soft, the scent of him lingering beneath the laundry detergent. Every night since, I’d found myself in it come bedtime. My shame knew no limits. And no, I still hadn’t quit. The words still hadn’t come even close to leaving my mouth.
He frowned. “No.”
“That I have some deep secret longing to feel close to you resulting in my stealing your shirt like some creepy perv?”
“Course I don’t fucking think that,” he replied crankily, reaching up to grip the top of the doorframe. All of his bulging muscles stretched the arms of his white T-shirt in the nicest way. It was all I could do not to start drooling, my heart beat taking up residence somewhere down between my thighs. And who could blame it? Not me. Maybe if I got laid, this would go away and things would return to normal. It’d seemed safer to avoid rubbing up against any men just in case I got carried away and started dating again. This new situation, however, changed everything.
“Well, of course not! That would be crazy.” And wasn’t that the god’s honest truth? Cray-zeee. Lock me up and throw away the key because it wasn’t like I didn’t know better.
“Just can’t figure out where the hell it could be.”
Angels couldn’t have smiled as innocently. They might have tried, but they would have failed, the dirty-mouthed, winged, little liars. “Jimmy, I don’t know where it is. But I’ll look around for it later, okay?”
“Yeah,” he said, and then added as an afterthought, “and stop looking at me weird.”
“I’m not!”

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Prologue</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>T</b>he dream is always the same.
A black van slows ahead of my sister and me as we walk home from school. When we pass, I hear the side door forcefully slide open and the hinges scream out in protest.
Two men attack us. They grab us by our arms and their nails claw into our skin, causing it to break. We try to push them away and somehow manage to wriggle free. Then we run. We run like we've never run before, but they are always faster and stronger. When they catch up to us, one grabs my sister, pushes her down to the ground, and laughs.
She bites his arm, leaving teeth marks and blood. This does no good though and only pisses him off. Then he slaps her in the face, yells at her, and threatens to kill her . . . but refuses to let go. They are relentless. I want to tell them that she is only ten years old, that she is no good to them, that she isn't even a woman yet, but a hand covers my mouth and an arm places me in a chokehold. My sister lets out blood-curdling cries, and all I know is that I need to save her. I kick my capturer in the knee, and he slams my body, then my head, into the cement until my vision blurs. I know I have a concussion from the brute force, but I continue to attack with everything that I have. No matter how hard I try, they take her.
How can a twelve-year-old boy fight against men?
He can't.
I couldn't.
When I think back to that day, I remember what the sky looked like after they pushed me down. It was blue like the color of the sea in Australia. Not often do I remember the sky in London being that color . . . or feeling so helpless. I'm often haunted by the look on my sister's face, and the sound of her screams and pleas as they shoved her into the van. I can still hear the revving of the engine as it hurried down the street like it was yesterday. That was the last time I felt fear. Those men stole more than my best friend and my sister. That day, they stole my soul.
This time, I wake up dripping with sweat. Sometimes I am breathing rapidly or yelling, or my heart is racing so fast it pulls me from the nightmare. For the past fifteen years, I've been haunted with the memory of my sister's abduction. I used to blame myself for her having been taken. I no longer accept that burden, and I refuse to sit idly by. The underground darkness of London is at war with itself, and I've caused it. It will not end until the petty fucks that stalk my streets are destroyed.
I will stop at nothing.
Some people call me an uncontrollable killing monster. I fucking laugh at the mention of the word.
Monsters have no control.
I've got plenty.
I don't kill without reason. I don't kill the innocent.
I hunt the ones who deserve it—the real monsters, the ones without remorse or a soul.
Sometimes people strive to be different, to step out of the fucking box, only to be misunderstood. The public doesn't understand me, but who really gives a shit?
Who are they? Mice. They go to work every single day and spin the same wheel that gets them nowhere. Work. Marriage. Kids. Die.
I search for adventure.
I love control.
When I find trouble, I make it my bitch.
Most people call me Abbot. First name isn't needed. I truly believe there is power in a name. My friends respect me, my enemies fear me, and regardless of what I do, at the end of the day I am still a killer. Apparently, that's what defines me. Son, brother, leader of the Gang of London, protector, murderer . . . the only word that matters is the last one.
Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage." If that's true, then where is my standing ovation for a job well done? Twisted fucks like me don't receive positive recognition. We don't deserve to be rewarded for ridding the world of horrible people, because being a murderer outweighs all the good.
An eye for an eye, a finger for a finger, or blood for blood. What-the-fuck-ever.
I'm not fucked-up from a horrible childhood, unless one counts my sister's abduction. Everyone tries to blame my life choices on my parents' guidance, but my actions are by choice. My mum and dad loved and supported me. They told me I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, until I became what I am today—a cold-hearted killer.
No one expected that one. </span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Words make the world go round. I love to write, travel, and sing really loud at the top of my lungs in the shower. Sweet love stories (along with the dirty ones) make me gush. I am firm believer that a person can never have too many cats or cups of coffee, and that the F word is necessary.<br /><br />Forget the beach! Give me a gel pen, a stack of blank paper, and beautiful mountains.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Prologue</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>T</b>he dream is always the same.
A black van slows ahead of my sister and me as we walk home from school. When we pass, I hear the side door forcefully slide open and the hinges scream out in protest.
Two men attack us. They grab us by our arms and their nails claw into our skin, causing it to break. We try to push them away and somehow manage to wriggle free. Then we run. We run like we've never run before, but they are always faster and stronger. When they catch up to us, one grabs my sister, pushes her down to the ground, and laughs.
She bites his arm, leaving teeth marks and blood. This does no good though and only pisses him off. Then he slaps her in the face, yells at her, and threatens to kill her . . . but refuses to let go. They are relentless. I want to tell them that she is only ten years old, that she is no good to them, that she isn't even a woman yet, but a hand covers my mouth and an arm places me in a chokehold. My sister lets out blood-curdling cries, and all I know is that I need to save her. I kick my capturer in the knee, and he slams my body, then my head, into the cement until my vision blurs. I know I have a concussion from the brute force, but I continue to attack with everything that I have. No matter how hard I try, they take her.
How can a twelve-year-old boy fight against men?
He can't.
I couldn't.
When I think back to that day, I remember what the sky looked like after they pushed me down. It was blue like the color of the sea in Australia. Not often do I remember the sky in London being that color . . . or feeling so helpless. I'm often haunted by the look on my sister's face, and the sound of her screams and pleas as they shoved her into the van. I can still hear the revving of the engine as it hurried down the street like it was yesterday. That was the last time I felt fear. Those men stole more than my best friend and my sister. That day, they stole my soul.
This time, I wake up dripping with sweat. Sometimes I am breathing rapidly or yelling, or my heart is racing so fast it pulls me from the nightmare. For the past fifteen years, I've been haunted with the memory of my sister's abduction. I used to blame myself for her having been taken. I no longer accept that burden, and I refuse to sit idly by. The underground darkness of London is at war with itself, and I've caused it. It will not end until the petty fucks that stalk my streets are destroyed.
I will stop at nothing.
Some people call me an uncontrollable killing monster. I fucking laugh at the mention of the word.
Monsters have no control.
I've got plenty.
I don't kill without reason. I don't kill the innocent.
I hunt the ones who deserve it—the real monsters, the ones without remorse or a soul.
Sometimes people strive to be different, to step out of the fucking box, only to be misunderstood. The public doesn't understand me, but who really gives a shit?
Who are they? Mice. They go to work every single day and spin the same wheel that gets them nowhere. Work. Marriage. Kids. Die.
I search for adventure.
I love control.
When I find trouble, I make it my bitch.
Most people call me Abbot. First name isn't needed. I truly believe there is power in a name. My friends respect me, my enemies fear me, and regardless of what I do, at the end of the day I am still a killer. Apparently, that's what defines me. Son, brother, leader of the Gang of London, protector, murderer . . . the only word that matters is the last one.
Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage." If that's true, then where is my standing ovation for a job well done? Twisted fucks like me don't receive positive recognition. We don't deserve to be rewarded for ridding the world of horrible people, because being a murderer outweighs all the good.
An eye for an eye, a finger for a finger, or blood for blood. What-the-fuck-ever.
I'm not fucked-up from a horrible childhood, unless one counts my sister's abduction. Everyone tries to blame my life choices on my parents' guidance, but my actions are by choice. My mum and dad loved and supported me. They told me I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, until I became what I am today—a cold-hearted killer.
No one expected that one. </span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Words make the world go round. I love to write, travel, and sing really loud at the top of my lungs in the shower. Sweet love stories (along with the dirty ones) make me gush. I am firm believer that a person can never have too many cats or cups of coffee, and that the F word is necessary.<br /><br />Forget the beach! Give me a gel pen, a stack of blank paper, and beautiful mountains.</span></div>

<span style="color: #76a5af;">Being the flashy frontman for the band Shaft definitely has its perks. Hunter Chesterfield, is infamous for exploiting them all shamelessly.

Insatiable sex drive aside, no one would willingly want to deal with the storm brewing behind that sexy smirk, right? But, something about his smart mouthed, fiery Tiger Lily has Hunter rethinking everything.<br /><br />While Hunter reevaluates his life, someone from his past comes back to haunt him; jeopardizing his future. The media is sniffing around, latching on to everything, and anything, they can dig up, as someone seems to be feeding the monster all Shaft's dirty secrets.<br /><br />Lies and betrayal mix with banter, sex and bacon as Shaft prepares to release their new album and blow into the mainstream.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><b>Synopsis</b> </span></div>
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Fast. That’s how I like life, especially my two great joys: <i>bikes and women. </i>I’m committed to exclusively riding one, but not the other.
Until April.
A sexy-arse freelance photographer who’s travelled the world, and doesn’t do long walks on the beach or romantic candlelit dinners. She enjoys running with the bulls and food spicy enough to make your hair fall out. If that weren’t enough to get me hard, she rides a mean mother of a motorcycle.
I’ve gotta have a taste of this wildcat.
<i>~Spencer (Jones)</i>
I don’t do fast. Not anymore. I’ve got my career, my independence, and since I fled Spain to come back home I promised myself that I wouldn’t be put second—or third, for that matter—again.
Then I meet pretty boy Spencer.
He’s smooth, oozing the most potent pheromones probably known to modern science, and he’s making a move on me. One kiss was almost enough for my promise to dissolve.
My head says no—my treacherous body screams yes. I’m gonna make Spencer work for it. Make him fight for the chance to have me, because I know that deep down I’m worth it.
<i>~April MacIntyre</i>
*The book can be read as a stand-alone, but it is best to read after the first two in the series, as the main characters in Spark and Spike continue to appear in each book in the series.*
