<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New";">One of the great myths about writing is that
it gets easier over time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the author
of more than seventy novels, I can tell you it just gets harder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps because with each new book you demand
more of yourself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Sentence variety and paragraph construction become
easier, grammar and spelling, the basics of writing all become second nature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But penning the actual novel?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not so much. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have to come up with a different plot,
make each of your characters stand out in some special way, try to give the
readers something you haven’t given them before.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
novella, SHADOWS AT DAWN, Jaxon Ryker, a former Navy SEAL, now a detective at
Maximum Security, was definitely hero material, but at the same time, he was
different, kind of soft-spoken, not arrogant, just a really nice guy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unless you pissed him off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Turns out Jax had a protective streak a mile
wide and the sweet little receptionist at The Max was his weakness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Jax happens upon three men attacking Mindy
in the parking lot, his hero instincts kick in--big time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Jax is convinced the attack isn’t random and
that Mindy still isn’t safe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And no way
is Jax letting anything happen to her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New";">I hope you’ll watch for SHADOWS AT DAWN and
that you enjoy it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you like Jax and
Mindy, you can find them again in my latest novel, THE DECEPTION, and also THE
CONSPIRACY. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Till next time, all best and
happy reading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kat<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

But she is struck speechless when her mother returns from a trip to Scotland with a six-foot-tall, very handsome souvenir. Izzy’s mother is so infatuated by the fellow that Izzy has to plan their annual Highland Games all by herself. Well, not completely by herself.

Instead of saving his uncle, who seems to be having a lovely time, Alasdair decides he’d rather help Izzy with the Highland Games. Show her how to dance like a Highlander. Drink like a Highlander.

From the sto- ries she told to the way she entered the room, Rose was exuberant and entertaining and enjoyed being the center of attention.</span></div>

Her mom’s trip to Scotland had doubled as both research and vacation. The jammed stop-and-go traffic had left Izzy flustered and al- ready dreading their exit from the airport.</span></div>

Her mom had a beautiful plaid scarf of greens and browns and blues tossed over her shoulder and what appeared to be new earrings.

The sooner they got out of Atlanta, the sooner she could get back to work planning the High- land festival. Or she might pour an extra-large glass of wine and escape into a book. A guilty pleasure, consider- ing how much she still had to get in order in three scant weeks.</span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 5.5pt; margin-right: 5.35pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 12pt;">

No cash to tip the man, and no hope her mom had thought of something so inconsequential.</span></div>

They’re hammered silver.” Her mom flipped her bobbed matching silver hair to the side and displayed one earring with her fingers. “And as a matter of fact, I did buy them from a lovely shop in Edin- burgh, but I brought something bigger home. Something more exciting.”</span></div>

It’s lovely.” Izzy gave her mom limited attention while she watched the man load suitcase after suitcase into her trunk, fitting them together like a puzzle. More luggage than her mom had left with. She waved to catch the man’s attention. “Hang on. That’s not all my mom’s stuff.”</span></div>

He was close to her mom in age, and good-looking in a bear- like way with a gleaming white smile highlighted by a salt-and-pepper beard. His full head of hair was a shade darker, but graying heavily at the temples. The expres- sion on the man’s face when he looked in her mom’s direction—a mix of adoration and amusement—cleared the fog of confusion.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">The sounds of the
rainforest surrounded him, the hum of insects, the shrill cry of a monkey, and
the rustle of leaves as a wild animal moved through the undergrowth not far
away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">In the blackness of night, Michael
Winston leaned back against the thick trunk of an eighty foot Kapok rising up
from the damp, mossy floor of the rainforest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>His wrists burned from the plastic ties biding his hands behind his
back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The white Bermuda shorts his
captors had allowed him to put on when they had boarded BUZZ Word and found him
sleeping naked next to Pia in the master cabin were gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Replaced by khaki fatigues more suitable for
their trek into the jungle.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Huddled on the ground
beside him, hands also bound, Pia rested her head on his shoulder, her long
mahogany hair teasing his cheek.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was
petite, no more than five foot-three, with big brown eyes and smooth olive
skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even with her makeup gone, her
baggy fatigues damp from the afternoon rain and sticking to her lush curves,
she was beautiful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Every time he looked at
her, guilt and fury washed over him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Fury that he was helpless to protect her from what might be in store for
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Guilt that if he hadn't convinced
her to go sailing with him she would be safe back in Aruba.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">He could only pray that
their captors would continue to obey whatever orders had apparently come down
from their leader, which seemed to be not to hurt them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">At least no more than they
had already happened during the fight to subdue them that night on the
boat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His jaw and cheek were bruised and
his ribs acted from the blows he had taken.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He would have kept fighting if one of the men hadn't pulled a gun and
pressed it against Pia's head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">That had been days
ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What day was it now?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He tried to count backward, remembered making
incredible love to Pia for the first time after a night of gambling at the
Trade Winds Casino.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both of them had won
a little money, enough to have them smiling when they returned to the boat and
ended up in bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">He remembered Pia falling
asleep in his arms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remembered the deep,
satisfied sleep he'd drifted into himself, a rarity with the heavy work
schedule he'd been under.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Sometime later that night,
two men, big, burly and tough, had boarded the yacht and taken control, forcing
him to sail out of the marina into the open sea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the next two days, Michael had been
certain the men's intention was to pirate the yacht, kill them and dump their
bodies in the ocean. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">If it hadn't been for Pia,
he would have made an attempt to overpower his captors, but the men were
heavily armed and well-trained, and he wasn't willing to risk Pia's life unless
there was absolutely no other choice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Eventually, the boat had
sailed into a quiet cove on a deserted stretch of beach several hundred miles
from Curacao.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If his mental calculations
were correct, they'd arrived somewhere in Colombia. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">They'd been imprisoned two
more days before soldiers had arrived to take charge of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By then, Michael had been certain the motive
was ransom, a demand for millions from his mega-rich father in return for his
son's release.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But he was no longer
sure.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Not since the soldiers had
forced him and Pia to begin this grueling trek into the rainforest that covered
the steep sides of the mountains.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
had hiked all day in ill-fitting boots provided by their captors that rubbed
blisters on their feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">At dusk the soldiers had
stopped the march and begun making camp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Exhausted, Michael had slumped against the tree and Pia had eased down
beside him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had no idea how long they'd
sat there while the men ate and drank between raucous bursts of laughter.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">They'd been brought water
and a little food, which they'd been released just long enough to eat, given a
bathroom break, then been tied up again and left beneath the tree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Equally as wet, numb and
cold as he was, Pia shifted and raised her head to look at him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"How many more days, do you think, till
we reach wherever they're taking us?"</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">They hadn't arrived at
their final destination--he was sure of that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>"I heard some of them talking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My Spanish sucks, but I was able to make out some of what they
said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I got it right, they're
planning to reach the main camp by tomorrow night."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Which meant another long
day of hiking through the harsh, wet, mountainous tropical landscape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pia spoke far better Spanish than he did, but
she'd been careful not to let them know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She was extremely smart, which was one of the reasons he'd been
attracted to her in the first place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not
to mention her beautiful face and fantastic figure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">"Do you think they've
sent word to your father?"</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">He had told her his ransom
theory mostly to keep her spirits up, told her his father was worth millions of
dollars and that he would surely pay for the safe return of his only son and
the girl who was with him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Though Michael had never
been able to live up to his father's expectations and they rarely spoke these
days, it didn't change the fact they were blood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His father would pay the ransom demand and
Pia would be part of the bargain--Michael wasn't leaving without her. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">"They've probably sent
word by now," he said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"They'll
want to be paid in cash.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It might take
my father a while to get the money together and get it down here."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 27.35pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">And his sister would be
looking for them, he was sure of that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He hadn't called her in days, as she had made him promise to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Harper would know something was wrong and she
would be doing her best to find him. </span></div>

<b>Story Ideas</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve always been a plot-oriented writer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People ask me how I come up with ideas for my
novels and the truth is, I don’t really know.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Prior to the release of my first hardcover novel, THE
CONSPIRACY,I wrote a very short digital story--AFTER THE SUNRISE, just
published on Amazon--mostly because I woke up on a Saturday morning with the
story fully developed in my head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kurt
Layton seemed like a great hero and I thought it would be a good way to
introduce my first hardcover novel. Now six months later THE CONSPIRACY will be
released in paperback on July 30<sup>th</sup>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kurt works as a private detective for Chase Garrett, the
wealthy owner of Maximum Security, an extremely successful private security
firm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chase is the oldest of the three Garrett brothers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He and Brandon, the youngest, a former
soldier, are true Texas men, comfortable in cowboy boots no matter where they are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reese, the middle brother, is CEO of Garrett
Resources, the family-owned, billion-dollar oil and gas company.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The brothers, though each is his distinctly his own person,
have a very strong bond.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They’re the
kind of men who are there for each other, no matter what happens.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In THE CONSPIRACY, <span style="background: white; color: #333333;">Harper Winston’s brother has disappeared. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pursuing his dream of sailing the Caribbean,
Michael hasn’t responded to texts or emails in days. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When even the Coast Guard can’t find him,
Harper is forced to take desperate measures. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Which means going to Chase Garrett, once her
brother’s best friend, now the only man she can trust...or so she hopes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333;">But the last
thing Chase wants is to get involved in the Winstons’ snarled crime family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No way should he take the case, but old
loyalties die hard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333;">As danger draws
him closer to Harper and deeper into trouble, Chase is forced to put everything
on the line to keep Harper safe--and both of them alive.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hope you’ll watch for THE CONSPIRACY and that you enjoy it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll have three more high-action, sexy romantic
thrillers coming your way in the future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Till then, all best and happy reading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

My Review: Oh Avery Flynn, you really can do no wrong! I've been a fan of her for years, and when I heard about her new rom-com, of course I had to dive on it. I *love* her stuff - her writing is fun, sweet, flirty... and sure, there's some definite steam there too. Just enough to get me feeling nice and warm.<br />
<br />
Parental Guidance is Avery Flynn at her best.. which, admittedly, is all the time. I thought Butterface and Muffin Top were my new all-time top favorites by her, but I think Parental Guidance just dropped them both down a peg... barely. This is just so cute, I couldn't stop reading it. Honestly, I'm not sure this is a review so much as a love-fest, or maybe more of a gush-fest. But I loved it that much!<br />
<br />
Cover Lovin': Cute and sweet!<br /><br />Recommendation: Read it ASAP!<br />
<br />
Final Rating: FIVE out of FIVE stars (5/5)!!! Loved this!<br />

<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<b>Excerpt: </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“So why are you on Bramble?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She took another small bite from her roll before answering. “My best friend is blackmailing me, and my dad wants a SAG card.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">That was definitely not the answer he’d been expecting. “And I thought my reasoning was twisted.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m sure it all makes sense in Gemma’s head,” Zara said. “She thinks I work too much and need to loosen up. She’ll let me be her plus-one to go meet a collector if I do the Bramble five dates thing. And my dad? Well, let’s just say he’s never met an unlikely plan he didn’t think he could pull off.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">All the possibilities this created sped around inside his head until one broke free like a perfect fast break late in the third period when the game was on the line. All he had to do was put the biscuit in the net.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“So neither of us really wants to be here,” he said. “We’re each other’s solution to getting back to our regular lives as soon as possible.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">It was fucking perfect. Petrov’s job with the team would be safe for another season—well, as safe as he could be, considering he didn’t have a no-trade deal in his contract.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Zara, though, didn’t seem to be seeing the genius of it, going by the suspicious look she gave him as she took another bite of her roll. Instead of giving him a straight-up no, though, she started eating. The words—okay, begging pleas—were bubbling up inside him but for once, he kept it in lockdown. He wasn’t about to rush this play, no matter how it had every nerve in his body jinglejangling.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, she used her napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth, straightened her spine, and looked him dead in the eye. “We’d have to have ground rules.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Sure. Whatever you want.” Ice Knights season tickets? He’d make that happen. A photo op with her dad’s favorite player? Done. Whatever it took, he’d do it.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“This isn’t a real or fake relationship, it’s a temporary alliance,” she said without an ounce of humor in her tone. “I’m not pretending to be your girlfriend or the random chick you’re banging this week.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Agreed.” All of that sounded like it would cause more problems than it would solve anyway. “I’ve got a condition. Dressing up is not required. I’m not putting on a suit.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The best thing about the off-season was not having to strangle himself with a tie multiple times a week just for a bus ride to the rink or a plane trip to another city. Coach Peppers was old-fashioned about doing things the original way.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Fine.” Zara held up three fingers. “The third stipulation is that I’m not putting on a good attitude. If it’s been a crappy day, I don’t have to pretend to be a manic pixie dream girl.” </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">He snorted. “No one who’s met you would believe that. You’re a little salty.” That was putting it mildly based on her attitude when she showed up for their date.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I have my reasons.” She added another finger, so she was holding up four. “Oh, and no making love. Sex?” She paused and looked him over quickly. “Maybe. Emotional, heartfelt, staring-each-other-in-the-eyes making love? Not gonna happen. No offense, but you’re not my type.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">What the hell? Not her type? He was a professional athlete making millions. He’d been led to believe he was everyone’s type.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Not a problem, since I don’t think we could see eye to eye while having sex unless you magically grew a foot,” he said.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“You’re not into being creative?” Zara rolled her eyes. “I guess that’s expected for someone who has probably had women throwing themselves at him for years. You haven’t ever had to work for it.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Caleb had no idea what to say to that. He’d been punched square in the face by the most feared goons in hockey and it hadn’t knocked him as senseless as this little five-foot-nothing of a snarky woman had done with a few choice words. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I have one more rule,” she said, reaching for another roll. “Five dates and we’re done. Period. Do we have a deal?”</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>About Avery</b></div>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">USA Today</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> bestselling romance author Avery Flynn has three slightly-wild children, loves a hockey-addicted husband and is desperately hoping someone invents the coffee IV drip.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She fell in love with romance while reading Johanna Lindsey’s Mallory books. It wasn’t long before Avery had read through all the romance offerings at her local library. Needing a romance fix, she turned to Harlequin’s four books a month home delivery service to ease the withdrawal symptoms. That worked for a short time, but it wasn’t long before the local book stores’ staff knew her by name.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Avery was a reader before she was a writer and hopes to always be both. She loves to write about smartass alpha heroes who are as good with a quip as they are with their *ahem* other God-given talents. Her heroines are feisty, fierce and fantastic. Brainy and brave, these ladies know how to stand on their own two feet and knock the bad guys off theirs.</span>

<b>About Avery</b></div>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">USA Today</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> bestselling romance author Avery Flynn has three slightly-wild children, loves a hockey-addicted husband and is desperately hoping someone invents the coffee IV drip.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">She fell in love with romance while reading Johanna Lindsey’s Mallory books. It wasn’t long before Avery had read through all the romance offerings at her local library. Needing a romance fix, she turned to Harlequin’s four books a month home delivery service to ease the withdrawal symptoms. That worked for a short time, but it wasn’t long before the local book stores’ staff knew her by name.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Avery was a reader before she was a writer and hopes to always be both. She loves to write about smartass alpha heroes who are as good with a quip as they are with their *ahem* other God-given talents. Her heroines are feisty, fierce and fantastic. Brainy and brave, these ladies know how to stand on their own two feet and knock the bad guys off theirs.</span>

<br />
My Review: Ooh, ooh, ooh! I love this one. We all know I love best friends to lovers romance (among like 50 other romance tropes) - and this one was a seriously AWESOME example! Seriously, readers... the chemistry here is off the charts! I love the relationship they have, it just gave me all the warm fuzzies.<br />
<br />
I really need to go back through and read the rest of the series. This author isn't new to me, but I definitely don't know T. Gephart as well as as I should - not if this is a typical example of her work! I'm already adding the rest to be TBR, I'll be adding them to my 'zon wish list as well.<br />

<strong>Synopsis:</strong></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was easy to fall in love with a Larsson—seriously who could resist any one of those boys? And while each them had taken turns featuring as Maya’s adolescent crush, there was only one of them who had been her best friend.
Alex Larsson.
She’d loved him the most, convinced they’d be friends forever. Which might have happened if Maya’s father hadn’t been a shady criminal with a mistress on the side.
Banished from L.A. meant leaving her old life behind, forgetting those perfect Larsson boys and her best friend. And forget about all of them she did. Well, up until her fancy law degree landed her an awesome job back in the city she’d once called home. And boy was she glad to be home.
Oh, and her old BFF? Not only had Alex Larsson gotten a fancy law degree of his own, but he’d turned into the hottest man she’d ever seen. And what she wanted now couldn’t be further from friendship if she tried.
Did she risk tainting the memory of the purest, most amazing relationship of her life for the “possibility” of more?
Yeah, some things are worth the risk.
And Alex Larsson, was one of them.

<div dir="ltr">
T Gephart is a USA Today and International bestselling author from Melbourne, Australia.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
With an approach to life that is somewhat unconventional, she prefers to fly by the seat of her pants rather than adhere to some rigid roadmap. Her lack of "plan" has resulted in a rather interesting and eclectic resume, which reads more like the fiction she writes than an actual employment history. She'd tell you all about it, but the statute of limitations hasn't expired yet. But all those crazy twists and turns have led her to a career she loves—writing romantic comedy.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
When she isn't filling pages with sassy and sexy characters with attitude, she's living her own reality show in the 'burbs of Melbourne with her American husband, two teenage children, and her fur child—Woodley.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
She loves adventure, to laugh, travel, and strives to live her life to the fullest.</div>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Fine, she’s my business partner’s daughter. All right, I’m also working in the same damn practice with her. Yes, she happens to be my ex-fling. But that was seven years ago, and it was barely a week-long thing.</span></div>

<strong>Excerpt</strong>
I meet Sloane’s gaze then go for it. Because this night has only one destination. “We should go to Tahiti.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Tonight?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Too long a flight?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She lets go of my hand and holds up her thumb and forefinger. “Maybe a little. Not that I’m turning down a trip to Tahiti. Wait? Are you saying you want to take me to Tahiti? Because I can pack like that.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Smiling, I slide my hand to her ass, squeezing. I whisper roughly in her ear, “I’m saying I’d like to escape with you. Like we’re getting away for the night. Let’s fuck away all this hot, wild desire.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She exhales then goes quiet, perhaps lost in thought. “But I thought we were going to resist kissing.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I brush the backs of my fingers along her jaw. “We already failed that test.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She pouts. “I was supposed to be an un-vixen.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Didn’t work. You’re the opposite, and I want you so fucking much.” I press against her. “You have me so wound up. I’m pretty sure you’re wound up too.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She pushes back. “You know I am. You know I want you too. That was never the issue.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to get closer to her. I need to have her. “Let’s give in. Just once.” I slide my fingers into her hair, she leans her head against my palm, and I continue making my case. “I can take you places. I can make you feel extraordinary, like I’ve always wanted to.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She hums. “You’re making it hard to say no.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“True. I’m very hard to resist.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A smile spreads across her face. “You are, Malone. You’re terribly, impossibly hard to resist.” She nibbles on her bottom lip. “One night. Our secret. What happens in Tahiti stays in Tahiti.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Absolutely,” I say as my dick high-fives me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“And where is this alternate universe?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I curl my fingers around her hip bone. “My place isn’t far. There’s also a hotel down the block. Either way, I intend to strip you naked, get my lips all over you, and make you feel as fucking good as you looked when you were watching me sing.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She shudders. “I looked good when I was watching you? How so?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I run my thumb over her hip, rubbing in slow, sensual circles. “You’re so seductive. You looked so incredibly alluring. You looked exactly as you are—the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met.” My fingers stray to her belly, gliding down the fabric of her dress toward my final destination. “And you and I have unfinished business.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She leans her head back, and the most delicious moan ever recorded escapes her lips. When she raises her face, she tap-dances her fingers down my chest then runs them over the silk of my tie. “Are you saying we’re going to finish the business tonight?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Yes, and then tomorrow . . . we can be friends again.” The thought pains me, but I know this is the only way to deal with our reality.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Exactly,” she says, nodding her agreement. “We take a trip tonight. We get away to a remote island. And tomorrow we go back to the real world?” She’s seriously considering this. Hell, I’ve already considered it six ways to Sunday in the span of ten seconds, and I say it’s a brilliant plan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Let me take care of you tonight. Let me spend the night worshipping your body and driving you wild with pleasure.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“You say these things . . .”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I grin. “And?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“And you make it impossible to walk away.” She grabs my tie and tugs my face inches from hers. “But what do you think my voice says?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want her to say it. The permission must come from her, and I’m dying for it. “You tell me.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She brings her mouth to my ear and whispers, hot and sexy, “It says take me to Tahiti. Fuck me hard. Fuck me good. Fuck me senseless.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That’s the only voice I’m listening to tonight.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Falling in love is easy…</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">New Hope, South Carolina is my home. It’s where I grew up, got into trouble, and fell in love for the first time. Scarlett Kincaid was more than the girl next door, she was my best friend, until she decided that small town life wasn’t for her. One minute she was here, and the next she was gone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The girl I used to fish with down at the creek is now the biggest name in country music. She headlines world tours, has won four Grammys, and I haven’t seen her since. Until today when she sped through town in her fancy car. One look at her big brown eyes was all it took to stir up a whole slew of emotions. Emotions I’d long ago buried and sure as hell don’t have time for. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>It’s the aftermath that’s hard…</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">There are two things in my life that matter. My music, and my dad. Twelve years ago, I packed a bag and chased my dream. Leaving New Hope and escaping the gossip mill was the easiest decision I ever made. I never planned to return, but my father needs me, and he always comes first. So, I did what I had to do. I cut my tour short and came home, despite having a sister who hates me, and a community that doesn’t trust me. And then there’s Tucker Andrews.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When he propped an arm on the roof of my car, pulled down his sunglasses and flashed his police badge, I nearly swallowed my tongue. Gone is the lanky boy who used to throw rocks at me and pull my pigtails. Tucker is now a six-foot package of brawny, sexy man wrapped in more muscle than I have hit singles. Did I mention he’s a cop and a single dad?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">My goal was to help Dad, and get back to my life. But what am I supposed to do when the life that used to strangle me suddenly fits like a glove, and makes me dream of things I never thought I’d have? What happens when the boy I walked away from years ago becomes one of the most important people in my life? I don’t have room for a man much less love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Right?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Because it’s impossible to hold onto someone who’s already gone. </i></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>About Kristen: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ros March,
disabled lesbian mum and former Royal Marine, has just moved to Turnberry on
Scotland's west coast. Her cottage overlooks one of the world's most famous
golf courses - Trump Turnberry - as well as the scenic bird sanctuary Ailsa
Craig. But idylls deceive. In truth Ailsa was once overrun by rats, who were
exterminated at the end of the twentieth century, and Ros's landlord turns out
to be a delusional Islamophobic misogynist who calls himself 'Potus Two'. When
Potus Two announces that both he and Ros will have the chance to meet the
President on Turnberry's hallowed grounds, Ros hatches a plan. Even a slim
chance to do something about one of the biggest rats in the world is not
something she will pass by.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong>About HOT UNDER THE COLLAR</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firefighter Braden Mahoney is devastated when his beloved Weimaraner, Jelly Bean, fails the canine arson investigator test. Faced with the challenge of raising the money for advanced training, it’s Braden’s sweet grandmother and her best friend who suggest he use the services of the new event planner in town. Not that he needs a push in Cassie Santorini’s direction. Ever since she arrived, Braden has had his eye on the sassy Greek goddess…and can’t stop thinking about getting the rest of him on her, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cassie has spent years putting family first, even moving to Bitter Bark when her mother falls in love with the local veterinarian. Having a huge new extended “family” is fun, especially when one smokeshow of a firefighter attends the gatherings, but Cassie has no plans to remain in this small town. She’s ready to pursue her big city dreams. But when Braden asks for an assist for his precious pup, Cassie agrees to help him set up a town-wide scavenger hunt. It isn’t exactly a hardship to be around those blue eyes and brawny shoulders, especially since they both agree everything – even the undeniable sparks that crackle between them – is temporary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But when temporary gets complicated by feelings that might lead to forever, Braden and Cassie start to question the direction they're headed. Should they follow their dreams…or their hearts? It’ll take a dog with a bad nose and a sweet soul, two particularly meddlesome grandmas, and some help from the clan that loves them to make sure Cassie and Braden follow the clues and find their way to each other’s arms.</div>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">She issued me a challenge I couldn’t back down from. Make her purr like no man has done before.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Fine, she’s my business partner’s daughter. All right, I’m also working in the same damn practice with her. Yes, she happens to be my ex-fling. But that was seven years ago, and it was barely a week-long thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Except, Sloane is still the one I can’t stop thinking of -- brilliant, sexy, captivating Sloane. Maybe a week of taking her to new heights will get her out of my head.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">So what if we spend a few nights on the town too? So what if I romance her across Manhattan? It’s all in the name of scientific pursuit of more magnificent Os.</span></div>

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>
</b></span> <span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The chatter in the elevator lightened her mood immediately, reminding Keeli of all the people who had started with only a few dollars and a dream. In many cases, they had made it without knowing the language or customs of their adopted country. By comparison, she had many advantages and instantly felt better about her choice, more confident about moving forward on her own. Mr. Weinberg let her take many of her pieces with her when she left his employ. There had been no severance check, of course, but the ready inventory was a gift. Keeli let the renewed confidence surge through her body, standing straight and looking ahead. Watching her step, careful not to bump anyone with her parcel, Keeli stepped into the divide and moved toward the back.</span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span> <span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That was the moment she saw HIM. He was the best thing – by far – about working in this building. She was standing face to face with the virile, gorgeous, sexy man she saw in the elevator regularly. Well, almost face-to-face since he was at least 4 or 5 inches taller than her statuesque 5’10”. </span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span> <span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He was what she would miss most about this job – these random opportunities to ride the elevator and watch him, getting to stand close, allowing her imagination to run wild with fantasies – all starring him, of course. </span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span> <span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Most of the time, he hid mysteriously behind a pair of Wayfarers, but the rain today afforded Keeli a chance to admire the intelligence and concentration in his azure eyes. He stood with his shoulders back, head towering over everyone’s Looking up, Keeli locked eyes with his, his mouth lifting in a half smile. Keeli shyly dropped her head as a blush rose to her cheeks and her heart sped up. She knew the smile was just politeness. She wanted so much more. She wanted him to notice her the way she noticed him, feel about her as she did about him. </span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If only he had the same visceral reaction that Keeli had to him, perhaps he would have spoken to her by now. She could not overcome her shyness to initiate a conversation, but if he longed for her as she did him…obviously, he was not interested. Now she would never see him again. Her disappointment was way out of proportion; he was a stranger. But he had this pull on her. Instead of thinking of him as a stranger, she thought of him as hers. </span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hers. What a laugh. Wake up Keeli!</span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span> <span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Everyone noticed him - man and woman alike. She saw it on elevator rides and when he traversed the lobby. Yes, he was particularly tall, a few inches over six feet. However, it was more than his height that drew the eye. He was compelling, confident, and assured. He was beyond handsome with his chiseled features, thick wavy hair and well-muscled body clad in custom suits. Keeli was drawn to him like a bee to honey. She had seen other women catch his eye, seen them smile and flirt easily. She was overwhelmingly shy when near him, preventing her from ever making him ‘hers’.</span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span> <span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They crossed paths at the coffee kiosk or in the elevator at least once a week. She knew she was projecting her own desires, but sometimes it seemed to her that he was seeking her out. Even so, Keeli never exchanged more than a polite “hello” and he was always polite, but aloof. Although she longed for some reason to speak more than pleasantries, she was unable to move past that invisible barrier she felt between them. </span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span> <span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Why, oh why is facing forward considered appropriate elevator etiquette? I just want to stare at him one last time. Today needs to be the day to think of something to say, some witty conversation opener. You are running out of time.</span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span> <span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Her brain searched now for a reason to speak, knowing it was her last chance. Instead, she reluctantly turned to face the doors. He was standing so close, lazily leaning his shoulders against the back wall. She felt the warmth of his breath on the back of her neck, goosebumps traveling up her arms in response to the moist heat. She was rocked by her immediate, erotic reaction. </span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span> <span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Reigning in her body’s response, Keeli reminded herself that the warm breath was a result of proximity, not desire. She was a non-entity to him and had been for the16 months she had worked there. His polished appearance, custom suits and elegant leather briefcase contrasted with her wild red hair, shabby jacket, scuffed boots and faded Old Navy dress. He epitomized class and privilege; she embodied shabby chic. Maybe not even chic - just shabby. She could never bridge the gulf.</span>

<b>Exclusive Excerpt:</b></h2>
“Nothing in this house, including the cars, the clothes, the money, or you, belongs to your father anymore. It won’t be automatically transferred to you either. It belongs to the new Boss.”
“Meaning you?” I ask, my voice barely above a whisper.
He smirks. “Nail on the head, <i>cucciola</i>. Get in the fucking car.”
Turning my head, I look behind me at the closed door that leads to the only house I’ve ever lived in. My life is over. The only life I’ve ever known is over. I could run to Mauro instead of getting into this car with Gavino. But I have a feeling that I would regret that immediately.
I’m not sure which devil to choose. The devil that I know without a doubt will be cruel, that I will hate with every breath that I take or the one that I’m attracted to, the one that I could easily fall for and end up completely heartbroken with.
Neither idea feels the slightest bit appealing. No matter what, I’m going to end up battered, bruised, ruined, and broken. Though I have a feeling that I was born with that fate, there would be no way around it, my father alive or dead, this is how I would always end up. Just like my mother. Buried and dead before I reach the age of forty.
Squaring my shoulders, I inhale a deep breath and walk over to the passenger side of the car. Opening the door, I sink into the soft seat. Buckling the belt, I slowly turn toward Gavino.
“I won’t hurt you, not physically. I swear it, <i>cucciola</i>,” he vows.
Gulping, I nod, my eyes searching his. “But you will hurt me?”
“Undoubtedly.”

I was born and raised in a small farming town in California. I met my husband when I was 16 and he was 19. We married four years later and have two little boys! We lived in Oregon for a few years while he served in the US Coast Guard.
Texas is now where we call home, where our boots rest, and where we’re raising our two little boys and a chocolate lab named Optimus Prime.

<span style="font-size: 18.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">They were supposed to be together forever. That was the plan, but through a cruel twist of fate the night before their three-year anniversary, Tex Davis lost the one man he would ever love, Memphis King. A year has passed and he still hasn’t been able to move on. Everyone tells him it’s time, but what do they know? Memphis was his partner in love and life. Losing him, broke Tex.
Tex has been given an opportunity to move from New York to Seattle. His friends and family are encouraging him to take it, but he has already decided to decline the offer because that would mean leaving Memphis behind.
Then something happened.
Whether it be fate or something else, Memphis came back to him. Tex’s first love is supposed to help him move on, but not even Memphis can bring himself to force Tex to let him go.
Is it so wrong to want to spend forever with the person you loved most? Both hearts are begging to be unbroken.

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">1 – </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> One year. One year since Tex had lost Memphis. One year since his lover had been killed, and it had yet to get easier. Everyone kept telling him it would, it never did. There were times he thought about ending it all, and then he would feel something…hear something, making him change his mind. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Actually, sometimes he thought he was losing it. </span></div>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">And today, he called in sick to work, unable to get out of bed until this afternoon. When he finally emerged, he only relocated to the living room after grabbing a full bottle of Southern Comfort, plopping down on the sofa. The very sofa he and Memphis picked out together. It had been their first major furniture decision when they decided to move in together. The moment the delivery men left, Tex and Memphis broke it in thoroughly, wearing themselves out. </span></div>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Tex’s eyes looked around the room. It seemed so empty without Memphis, and he felt so lost without his lover. He’d been sitting here for hours? Minutes? It had to be some amount of time since the bottle was half gone and he was feeling a drunken morose engulfing him, and he could not stop the bitter question from leaving his lips, the very question he had been asking daily since losing his best friend, lover, other half…his everything. “Why? Why Memphis? Why did you have to go? Why did it have to be you and not me?” </span></div>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
Shaking his head, Tex sniffled and brought his glass filled with amber liquid to his lips. “When you left, it completely broke my heart…I’m still broken. I need to hear you say that you love me one more time. A million more times, but that won’t happen. Can’t happen.” He took another gulp, draining the glass before wiping his nose with the back of his hand.
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Pouring himself another glassful of liquor, he breathed out as drops of saltwater fell on his coffee table. He should probably stop drinking and put himself to bed to finish wallowing there, but he couldn’t. It had been one year. One year since that fateful night…unlucky night more like it. One year since he’d heard Memphis’s voice, touched his body, and the loss Tex felt that night remained just as acute tonight as it did then. He thought time was supposed to heal the wounds, to lessen the pain…lies. All lies. “It’s my fault, Memphis. If I hadn’t been spiteful and allowed that monstrous bitch, jealousy, to cloud my judgment…if only. If only. I regretted everything, regretted that the last words I spoke to you were bitter and vile. I can’t forget you, can’t move on. I’m lonely without you, Memphis. It hurts so much that you aren’t here.” He wailed like a banshee, his cry full of sorrow and pain. </span></div>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
More tears were falling, but he ignored them like he’d done every time they sprang up. It was easy to do after all this time; besides, they didn’t matter. Nothing mattered any longer and hadn’t for a year.
He sobbed again and then got angry. “I wish you could come back to fix me, fix what you destroyed when you left, but that’s a pipe dream. You got mad, said your piece, and then stormed out of here. If you had just waited…” Tex choked on his words.
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You went the other way. Why? Why the other way? Was it because of the bar? The one where we met? Memphis, do you remember? I was sitting at the bar and you walked up to me and gave me that stupid, cheesy pickup line, ‘I seem to have lost my phone number, can I have yours?’ So stupid. I remember I said, ‘That’s a shame because I lost mine too. I guess we’re both screwed.’ You winked at me then. I should have known something bad was going to come out of your mouth…sexy mouth. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
‘Not yet, but we could be.’ I laughed. You were always good at making me laugh, making me smile.” Shaking his head and snickering, he poured another glass. If he destroyed his liver, if he got alcohol poisoning, then maybe he could be with Memphis again. </div>
Tex downed the entire glass, hoping that the pain would deaden or that he would stop feeling anything. Maybe if he drank enough, he could join Memphis.
Grabbing a pillow from the couch, Tex threw it across the room, and it bounced off the window overlooking the streets of Manhattan. “You were supposed to go right! You were supposed to go to Christy’s apartment!” He wailed, “Why weren’t you at your sister’s? Why did you have to go the other way? She looked horrible because she had been sick, even her blue hair looked green.” Tex snorted mirthlessly.
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s been a year and Tex floated through life, unable to move on. “I know I should continue to live for us…for you, but I don’t know how,” Tex’s words ended on a shout, full of rage, and his face was red from more than just the alcohol. </div>
“There has always only been you. You got me when no one else did. You loved me…I loved you. Three years. We were together one night shy of three years. We never got to see four.” Tex fell back and stared up at the blue ceiling with white fluffy clouds painted on it, his tears falling down his face like two rivers. There was no point in wiping them away because there was no end to them, and he couldn’t staunch them even if he tried. Memphis was gone and would forever remain gone.
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He chugged the rest of the amber liquid from the bottle and fell to his side onto the couch, resting his head on the cushion. More tears fell. They never stopped. Even if they weren’t falling down his face, his soul cried and mourned the loss of his friend and lover. The pain hadn’t stopped since the day he lost Memphis.</div>
Sitting up, Tex grabbed the bottle of Southern Comfort and raised it into the air, choosing to do away with the glass. “A toast to you and your lost life. Memphis, I still love you, and I wish every single god damned day that you were still here beside me. Each day that passes reminds me that you will never be part of my life again, that you will never hold me, never tease me again. You were funny, caring, sexy, and all mine. Forgive me…God, please forgive me for that night, for accusing you of cheating. I know you loved me. Jealousy is a fucking bitch. Somehow, I’d gotten it into my head that you were leaving me when you weren’t. I found out after. Sometimes I think I killed you. I’m sorry. So, so sorry.” He whimpered as he took in a shaky breath. “Memphis, I will always love you and only you.”
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wish you were here to fix the heart you broke when you died, Memphis, Tex thought to himself as he closed his eyes. Before he fully submitted to the effects of the alcohol though, he felt a set of lips press against his. “Memphis, love…” he slurred, his words tapering off as he finally allowed himself to completely fall into the void. </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fingers running through his short brown curls and the heaviness of someone sitting next to him had Tex leaning into the touch and smiling. “Memphis, I’m trying to sleep,” he argued, pretending not to like the feel of his lover soothing him. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reality hit a split second later.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tex’s eyes popped open, but all he saw was the blackness of his blanket because when he slept, he liked to bury himself and only the top of his head could be seen. Pushing it down and away from him, he twisted his head this way and that, trying to figure out why it felt as if someone was playing with his hair when the apartment should have been completely empty save for him. Events from the previous night filtered into his brain, and he shook his head, still scanning the room. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another thought occurred to him. He was so focused on if it could be Memphis, there was a more logical explanation–thanks to Christy and Wil for planting the idea in his head. Spider! He panicked and grabbed his head, trying to dislodge the bug if it existed, but he found nothing. Instead, much like the night before, he fell off the bed onto the floor, this time hitting his hard head with a loud thud.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It wasn’t a spider,” Memphis told him, although watching Tex scramble as he did, had been funny as hell. He didn’t know what happened earlier, one minute he had been here in this apartment with Tex, and the next, nothing…blackness. Nothing scary or oppressive, just a void. Some might call it purgatory, but he didn’t think so because if that was the case, why was he allowed to leave and come back to his Tex? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Head snapping up, Tex tried to find the source of the voice, and this time he did, a little easier than last time. With the curtains drawn and the sun beginning to set, the room was dimly lit, and on the bed, on Memphis’sside of the bed, was a…something. Tex wasn’t exactly sure how to describe it. It wasn’t a figure, but it wasn’t exactly nothing either. A mist? No. Smoke? Not really. Shadow? Sort of. It was just there. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Me-Mem…Memphis?” Tex asked hesitantly. His heart was beating wildly and he was on the verge of hyperventilating as his eyes widened, waiting in anticipation for the answer he would receive. And he didn’t know which way he wanted the…thing to answer. If positive, Tex might be crazy. If negative–in a way–it would be like losing Memphis again. Fuck, he was a wishy-washy asshole!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Do you remember the night we met? I think I might have told you, but I don’t remember, but the reason I approached you was that I didn’t want Jordan to have you,” Memphis told Tex as if this whole situation was completely normal. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tex gaped at the bed. The thing sort of had a form, but not really, and while it seemed Memphis voice came from it, it didn’t mean that it was Memphis. “Jordan? What do you mean?” He recalled something about Jordan and that night, but he couldn’t think right now because even if it wasn’t actually Memphis speaking to him, it was his voice. Tex couldn’t stop himself from asking while he tried to decide if he should scream and run for his life to admit himself into the nearest psych ward, or if he should rejoice because his lover had finally come back to him. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We played pool to decide who would approach you that night. I lost, and when he went to the bathroom to piss out the five beers he drank, I made my move. It was a toss-up if we would remain friends, or if he would punch me in the nuts and never speak to me again.” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“No guy would ever punch another one in the sack.” Tex still wasn’t sure, although, that did sound like something Memphis would say, and definitely something Jordan would threaten if he was pissed off. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Memphis chuckled. “You do remember Jordan, right?”</div>

Jordan Cash came to New Orleans to have fun with his latest fling, however, within twenty-four hours of arriving, he’s been abandoned and finds himself wandering around the city doing the tourist thing alone. Everyone is finding someone to love, but that’s not in the cards for him. He’ll spend his days cheering on his friends and having the time of his life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He never expected to run into a man who immediately catches his attention in the middle of a graveyard. Did the Voodoo Queen put a spell on him from the beyond? </div>

To say that Archer Wolfe is directionally challenged is the understatement of the year. He broke his cellphone and can get lost in the very city he lives in. It’s no surprise he gets turned around, and while trying to find his way, he pushes Jordan into a stone crypt. Not the best way to make a first impression. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Archer isn’t looking for love or anything else, but there is something about the smooth-talking Jordan. It was supposed to be a fling, simply some fun, but he is realizing he doesn’t want Jordan to disappear. </div>

<span style="font-size: 18.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Maria Vickers currently lives in St. Louis, MO with her pug, Spencer Tracy. She has always had a passion for writing and after she became disabled in 2010, she decided to use writing as her escape. She believes that life is about what you make of it. You have to live it to the fullest no matter the circumstances.
From a young age, she has always loved books and even dreamed of being an author when she was younger. Growing up in the Navy, she used to weave tales for her siblings and her friends about anything and everything. And when she wasn't creating her own stories, she had a book in her hand. They transported her to another world. She hopes that with her books, her readers have the same experience and that they can relate to her characters.
Getting sick changed her life forever, but it also opened doors for her that she thought would always be out of reach.

About <strong><em>Into Temptation:</em></strong></h2>
Twenty-eight-year-old Lilly Rains would settle for - no, embrace - the idea of Purgatory as atonement for her sins. The newly assigned parish priest has conjured less than righteous thoughts, forcing Lilly to question her sanity for being attracted to a man of the cloth and more importantly, whether she can perform her job as the principal of St. Robert’s Catholic School.
But the handsome and mysterious priest is not what he seems. He has been sent to retrieve Lilly’s wavering soul, preying on a faith that has been rattled by her past. But where there is darkness, there must also be light and God has decided it is time to intervene. A Guardian has been assigned to protect Lilly from the evil surrounding her. However, when the priest and the Guardian begin to pursue her for their own purposes, Lilly is left with an impossible decision.
Will she choose the forbidden man she loves or the Guardian who will be eternally devoted to her?

<strong>Exclusive Excerpt: </strong></h2>
“Please let me walk you home.”
“It’s just two blocks,” she said.
His hand fell away from the small of her back. “Humor me?” he asked.
Lilly rolled her eyes and smiled, “Fine.”
They started to walk toward her home when he again wondered who this Ray was. Why it had looked as if Lilly had wanted to knee Ray in the groin at the pub. They were a half block in when his curiosity got the better of him. “Is Ray your ex-boyfriend?”
“Absolutely not. Obnoxious men who can’t take no for an answer have never been a turn-on. Ray is not my type.”
“What is your type?” he asked.
She pursed her lips and hesitated.
Me. I’m what you want.
“You know, I’m not sure. I guess I haven’t found it yet. But that’s my fault. I probably should start dating.”
“Start dating?” he asked. Her choice of words captivated him.
They crossed the street, bringing them to her block. He didn’t want this conversation to end. “Um… yeah,” she said, sheepishly. She looked away and focused on the gravel beneath her feet.
A thousand questions swirled through his head. “You must miss the companionship, the intimacy a relationship can bring.”
“Well, it helps when you don’t know what you’re missing.”
Stunned, he peered over at her. She did the same thing she had done in the bar when she realized that she had misspoken. She closed her eyes and shook her head. “I can’t believe I just said that.”
“Are you telling me that you’ve never been…”
She stopped abruptly and turned toward him. “Yes.” Her fists were clenched at her sides. She looked mortified and pissed off at the same time. “This has been an enlightening night for you. In just under an hour, you have learned that your principal doesn’t attend Mass, which according to my contract is grounds for dismissal. And now, you’ve had the unfortunate experience of witnessing a twenty-eight-year-old admit she’s still a virgin.”
Something primal within awakened. Her subtle mannerisms, the way she bit her lip and twirled her hair around her fingers were enough to make his cock twitch. But now, knowing that she had never been with a man was enough to make him want to claim her right there on the sidewalk.
“I believe I never was given the opportunity to answer your question.”
She crossed her arms over her breasts and started walking toward her house. “What question?” she asked.
“You asked me if I thought the priesthood was what I had expected,” he said.
“William, don’t do this.”
“Do what?”
“Attempt to diffuse an embarrassing situation. I’d much rather go home and forget the past hour has ever happened. You know, before I told you that your principal is not a practicing Catholic and has a nonexistent sex life.”
She wasn’t trying to be humorous, but he couldn’t help but smile at her. They were nearing her house when he said, “I’m going to answer your question anyway.” He touched her arm and she stopped her brisk pace. “No, the priesthood is not what I had expected. I had anticipated that there would be moments when I would experience loneliness and long for companionship. But I underestimated that all-too-human need for intimacy.”
“But… but you’re happy? With the life you’ve chosen?” she asked. Her eyes bore into his and he could feel her searching for something.
“Yes. But each day is a struggle.” Her lips parted as if she was going to say something, and then they sealed shut. He wondered what was going through her mind. She no longer appeared embarrassed but intrigued. William was pleased that his admission, though in his mind he had swapped out ‘priesthood’ for the living hell that he was in, had stopped her from wanting to melt into the cracks of the sidewalk. Without thinking, he reached out and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. Her breathing hitched and her lips again parted. God, he wanted to taste her. “And some days are more challenging than others.”

<strong>About UNBROKEN:</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<strong>From the <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of the Marked Men series comes a captivating novella about a rugged rodeo star who will do anything to protect the people he loves.</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
When rodeo star Crew Lawton loses everything in a bad bet, he has no choice but to take a new job to pay off his debts – even if it means becoming the face of an expensive male skincare line. Crew is used to getting sweaty and rustling in the dirt, not posing for photo shoots. And he’s certainly not used to being bossed around by a woman who doesn’t even know the difference between bulls and broncs. But Crew owes money to dangerous criminals, and he’ll do <em>anything</em> Della says in order to pay them back and keep them far away from his family in Loveless, Texas…</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
The launch of her new men’s line for her family’s company means everything to Della Deveaux, and she’s not willing to let some rugged, arrogant cowboy ruin her campaign. Crew Lawton is the last man she would have chosen to represent her chic, sophisticated brand. Unfortunately, her father already invested millions in Crew’s stupidly handsome face. Yet the more time they spend together, Della and Crew realize that opposites <em>do </em>attract. But when the time comes for Crew to face his past mistakes, will he be able to protect his family…and the woman he’s come to love?</h3>

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong>
“This the one, Ms. Priss?” I turned in a circle, hating how restrictive and stiff the refined suit felt. There would be no staying on the horse for eight seconds in something like this. I doubted I could even bend over and pull my boots on in this getup. I failed to see how being dressed like I was going to high tea with the queen was going to convince normal men with a little extra cash to buy the junk in my hair. It felt like overkill, but I would chew my tongue off before telling Della that. I knew how much this campaign meant to her, and I needed her to keep me around so I could get paid. .. and get to kiss her again.
Della circled around me, eyes scanning from head to toe. A small frown tugged her perfectly arched brows down into a V, and her lush, soft mouth pulled into a pout I was becoming achingly familiar with. She lifted a hand and touched the knot of the silk tie where it rested at the base of my throat. She fingered the delicate material and heaved a sigh.
“You look perfect, but something is still off.” She met my gaze with a scowl. “Can you try and look a little less like you’re being tortured? That might help the overall image.”
Her snippy tone and the upturn of her nose made me grin. I rolled my head around, causing my neck to pop and my shoulders to relax. Della’s expression softened when I was no longer standing at attention, but she still let out a dejected-sounding sigh and reached for my tie, releasing me from the expensive noose.
“You have a body made for designer clothes, but something is lost when you put them on. I feel like we’re trying to wrap the <em>Mona Lisa</em> in silk or something. Frankly, it’s annoying that you make denim and flannel look just as good as Versace and Prada.” Once she had the tie off, she told me to go ahead and get back into my own clothes. I asked her what the plan was for the shoot and a brief flare of panic and doubt lit up her catlike eyes. She forced a smile and told me she would figure it out.
Since I was totally a fish out of water in this scenario, all I could do was follow orders like a good soldier. I stripped out of the fitted vest and worked on the tiny buttons of the shirt. I was handing them both off to the flirty wardrobe girl who was enjoying the impromptu striptease when Della’s “Wait a second!” had both of us freezing on the spot.
She was looking at me in the mirror, eyes roving over my half-dressed form. She wandered over to where my jeans and boots were tossed in a haphazard pile on the floor. After a second of rooting around, she came toward me, my black wifebeater in one hand and my boots in the other.
“Put these on with the pants.” She looked at the wardrobe girl with a lifted brow and had to snap her fingers in the woman’s face to get her attention. “Go find me a pair of suspenders, leather if you have them.” The other woman scurried off to do as she was told and I dropped to the seat to pull on my boots.
“I keep trying to turn you into something better.” I looked up at Della as she snorted out a laugh. “But from the start, you were perfect the way you are.”

“Can I join you?” he asks, motioning to the table.
There’s interest in his eyes, the kind a man has for a woman, but who knows, maybe it’s real or maybe it’s not real. Maybe he knows who I am and sees a path to power and fame. The way Tobey wanted me for money and power, right up until the moment I’d called his number aka his agenda; thus, he has not called me since I left. Maybe Harvard will lie even better than Tobey did. Maybe Harvard will at least kiss better than he did, and the lies would taste like temptation rather than convenience. At least then, if I’m used, I’ll enjoy being used.
Whatever the case, it’s clear I might actually be angry with Tobey and that aside, the interest that Harvard has shown in me, must be controlled before my Denver sanctuary is destroyed. “You can join me,” I say, “but only because I’m trying to save the rest of the place from the attorney in the house.”
I am pleased when Harvard laughs, where Tobey would have scowled, proving that Harvard has a sense of humor, which is rare for those in my life. I’ve barely completed this thought when he moves forward and claims the seat next to me, not across from me, settling his briefcase on that chair instead. In the process, his leg brushes my leg and for the briefest of moments, I’m transported back to the place that I’m now trying to forget: to Austin, to Drew’s leg next to mine, his wink, and I do now what I did then. I jerk back. If Harvard notices he doesn’t react. “Since we haven’t been formally introduced,” he says, resting his naked hands on the table. “I’m Logan. Logan Casey.”
“Logan Casey,” I repeat trying to ground myself in the present, at least for now, but some part of me is still swimming in that memory, which naturally has me wondering if this man is a shark in the water around me. “Two first names,” I add. “Sounds like your parents fought over who got to pick your first name. Did they draw straws for which choice became your middle name?”
“You’re actually right on target,” he says, laughing again, and it’s a nice, masculine laugh, and oddly this thought feels familiar while Logan does not. “No one has ever guessed that,” he adds. “My mother won the name war. The women always win. Speaking of names. Do you have one?”
“Hailey Anne Pitt,” I say, “and in my house, my father won the name war.” Because in my father’s world, I add silently, the women don’t win the wars. At least, not that he knows, not in an obvious way. I’ve learned this well.
“Well then, Hailey Anne Pitt,” he says, “what’s a Stanford girl like you, doing in a place like this? You’re a long way from school.”
I’m smacked in the face with a lesson I’ve long ago learned and forgotten with this man; strangers do not always remain strangers and all offhanded remarks can come back to haunt you. “That was a joke,” I say, shutting the door connected to my real life, and a path that leads to my father. “I hate attorneys, remember?”
He narrows his eyes on me, and for no reason other than instinct, I believe he’s looking for a lie that he won’t find. I’m simply too well-taught from birth, too skilled at being more than one person to allow such a detection. Well that, and the fact that I really do hate attorneys, which is why I’ll be a good one.
“That was a joke?” he confirms.
“Yes,” I say. “Are you amused?”
“Yes, actually. I am. What does a lawyer-hating smart ass like yourself do for a living?”
“When not busy taunting those who went to law school,” I say. “I’m an aspiring artist.” Both honest answers, if you put a “was” in front of the “aspiring artist” which I’d thought that I’d come to terms with, but the knot in my stomach says I have not.
Logan motions toward the art room. “Your career explains why you ended up here.”
“I guess it does,” I say, as this place serves me well to reconnecting to the Pitt part of my life, which is a place I really need to be right now, for all kinds of reasons.
“Are you good?” Logan asks, as if he’s read my mind.
My father’s words answer him in my head. Art is useless unless you’re famous, he used to say often, because of course, it was inconceivable that I might be good enough to be famous. “Art is like movies and food,” I say, shoving aside that bad memory. “Good is subjective.” I don’t give him time to reply. I ping the conversation back toward him. “What kind of law do you practice?”
“Corporate,” he says, and this time he pings back to me. “Do you live in the neighborhood?”
“Yes,” I say simply. “Do you?”
“I bought a building a few years ago where I live and work which means this is my home turf, and why I know you’re new here.”
“I am,” I say and since he’s clearly going to ask for details, I quickly preempt with an on-the-fly story. Actually, it’s the suggested story, Rudolf included in my file. “I came here for a job, and my new boss owns a house he’s rented to me for dirt cheap.”
“And what does an artist do but create art for a living?”
“I’m working for a private art acquisitions firm. I now hunt for treasures for a living.” This lie is actually my dream job that I’ve never been allowed to entertain.
The horror flick loving waitress delivers my coffee and brownie. “Thank you,” I say, because every politician’s daughter has manners beaten into her.
“No problem,” she says, “but if you come to your senses and want a better version of that coffee, just shout.” She eyes Logan. “I already know you want a crappy tasting coffee, on endless pour and a chocolate chip cookie. Coming right up.”
“Thanks, Megan,” he says, giving her a wink that I don’t classify as flirtatious, just friendly, and Megan is gone.
“Obviously you’re a regular,” I comment, “and they even like you.”
“And they like me,” he confirms, “despite knowing I’m an attorney.
“Because you’re good looking and use it to your advantage.”
He arches a brow. “You think I’m good looking, do you?”
“Oh, come on,” I say, crinkling my nose. “Everyone thinks you’re good looking. I’m simply stating a fact. We use what we have and those of us that are smart, know what we have.” I move on from what is really quite inconsequential. “Why work here, not at home, or in the office?”
“I find I get a lot of work done with a cookie, coffee, and no access to streaming television,” he explains.
No one in my D.C. crowd would make an admission of being human and distractible. Some people in my situation might take comfort in that fact, but I don’t. Logan’s an attorney, and my gut, which I’ll confirm with research, says he’s a powerful one, the kind that radiates toward my father. Maybe that’s a coincidence and maybe it’s not. Maybe he’s testing how well I execute my cover story. The possibilities are many. Though in all fairness to Logan, perhaps I’d lean toward his innocence, if not for the laundry list of recent events such as Tobey being gay and the FBI agent, who is likely working for my father, that I slept with to prove I was a) still desirable and b) not a killer.</div>

<strong>Exclusive Excerpt: </strong></h2>
Maggie stared out the window as Shane took streets through the city to get her to her mom’s house. Asking him to pick her up had been a good choice. She could’ve asked Moira, but her sister would try to talk her out of her plan. Shane was the best listener she’d ever known. He’d proven it again today. The guy even remembered the name of her therapist. Who did that?
Shane. Always Shane. He’d been there for her through the good and the really, really bad. Even when it was hard, and she’d tried to push him away because she didn’t think she could be around any guy after being raped, he stayed. Not in an obnoxious <em>I know what’s best for you</em> way, but in an <em>I care about you</em> way. Without him, she probably never would have had the guts to travel.
After he pulled up in front of her mom’s house, he put the truck in park but didn’t turn off the ignition.
“Coming in?”
He let out a small chuckle. “You decided to come home without telling your family. Then you had me pick you up from the airport. They’re going to have plenty to say, and I don’t want to be caught in the crossfire. I think I’ll head home.”
“Chicken.”
“Smart.”
“Whatever.” She yanked on the handle and jumped from the cab.
Shane met her and grabbed her suitcase. After setting it on the curb at her feet, he held her hand. “I’m glad you’re finally home.”
“You’re gonna get sick of me.”
“Never.” He slammed the door. “Give me a call if you want to get together later.”
“My family will probably fill my night. And then some. I’ll call when I need to escape.” She hefted the bag and stared at the front door. Although she knew Shane had gotten back behind the wheel, the truck didn’t move.
Of course he’d wait for her to go inside. She waved at Shane and walked up the steps. The last time she’d made this trip, she entered a living room filled with her siblings all crying. Their mother had had a heart attack and was in the hospital. The whole episode made Maggie realize how much she was missing. Not just for herself, but with her family.
As the youngest, she’d always been able to count on having her family there. It had never occurred to her that at some point they might not be. She turned the knob on the door and found resistance. She fished out her keys and let herself in.
With the door closed at her back she paused and took a slow inhale. No dinner smells. And quiet. She couldn’t remember a time when home was quiet.
“Mom?” she called, hoping her mom was there.
“What? Who is it?”
A relieved sigh joined the smile on her face. “It’s me, Maggie.”
She turned the corner and walked through the living room and dining room. Her mother stood at the door to the kitchen. The teacup in her hand shook. Maybe a surprise homecoming wasn’t the best idea.
“What’s wrong?” Eileen asked.
“Nothing. I’m home. For good.”
Her mom set her tea on the table. “When did this come about? And without so much as a phone call.”
Maggie hugged her mom and breathed in the scents of Jean Naté cologne and Estée Lauder makeup. Mom gave her a quick pat on the back.
“How do you feel?” she asked Eileen.
“Fine. Same as I have been every time you’ve asked. I’ve had enough of the coddling.” She took up her cup again and sipped before sitting at the dining room table.

<strong>About <em>Layback: </em></strong></h2>
Not too long ago, I had one goal: Win an Olympic Gold Medal but an injury took me out of the running for the Ladies Figure Skating competition at the last Olympic Games. Nancy Kerrigan was grandfathered in. I was not.
Translation: I was disqualified. DQ’d. I was out in the cold on my keister.
But when an offer to fill a spot on a pairs team lands in my lap, I take it. It seems like an answered prayer—that is until a competitor is found brutally murdered in her room at the competitor’s village and my partner is the number one suspect.
I’m going to have to take matters into my own hands. Again. Sweet Kristi Yamaguchi, save me from overly cocky men.
My name is Sophia Eleonore Dubois and holy mother of Dorothy Hamill my life is still complicated . . .

<strong>Exclusive Excerpt: </strong></h2>
My phone bounces around on the nightstand as it softly plays Britney Spears. It’s time to work, bitch. And this morning I have a practice skate with Luc. We have been working so hard these past few weeks and things are finally coming together. I am so thankful for this opportunity that I don’t want to let Luc and our coaches down so I try and get to the rink extra early so that I am warmed up and ready to go. I don’t want any of them waiting on me.
I look back over my shoulder to where Kane is sleeping. His eyes are still closed, and his breaths come evenly. Good, he’s still asleep and after last night’s revelations, I don’t want to wake him up. We are finally in a good place again and I’m not going to throw Luc in his face the very next day. I’m not going to be the one to rock the boat this time.
I gently lift the covers and cautiously slide out from underneath them. If I was focused on anything other than not waking Kane up, I would have noticed that he, and other parts of his anatomy, were very much awake long before his arm tightens around my waist and hauls me back into the bed.
“Eeek!” I squeal as he surprises me.
“Where are you going, Tink?” Kane rasps, his voice still husky with sleep and other things. “I don’t know if I’m ready to let you leave this bed yet.”
“Well, you don’t have a choice because I have an early practice this morning,” I inform him with a little softness in my voice so that he knows that I am not choosing the rink over him. “But I’ll be back later.”
Kane lets go of me and I slide out of bed and start pulling clothing that I had left here before we stopped speaking from drawers. I notice that Kane is flinging the covers back and pushing up from the bed to stand nude in all his morning glory—and I do mean glory—which I see prominently when he turns to the side before facing away again. His firm backside is turned towards me and I watch the muscles in his body play as he stretches out.
“Wh-what are you doing?” I ask before I give my brain a chance to catch up with my mouth. I should probably get some coffee in me before I sign my life away.
“Getting up,” he says with a smirk playing about his mouth.
“I . . . uhh . . . I see that,” I mumble as I stare at his erection. I can’t help it. It’s like there’s a sexual tractor beam that draws my eyes directly to his long, hard cock.
“My eyes are up here, baby,” he says with a chuckle and my eyes snap up to his. “I meant that I was getting out of bed to go with you.”
“Oh . . .” Well, that’s not at all embarrassing. Kane has the ability to wipe all thought from my brain with a set of glutes that I know for a fact that I can bounce a quarter off of them because I have already tried.
I lose my train of thought as I watch Kane pull a pair of lighter wash jeans out of a drawer and slide them up his legs without underpants. They way that the smooth material molds to his muscular legs and . . . other assets shows how well-worn they are. Not to mention spending the day knowing that there is nothing standing in between my hand and what I so desperately want but a few buttons and some well worn material is going to play havoc in my mind all morning. He pulls a white t-shirt over his head then grabs a gray hoodie and tosses it on the bed before grabbing a pair of socks and running shoes.
“Sophie?” he calls my name making me snap to attention.
“What?” I ask still distracted by the thought of him going commando. I wonder if I would be able to tell if he was even a little bit hard because the material is so soft and pliable. If I was paying more attention to what I was trying not to pay attention to I would definitely have my answer.
“You were staring . . .” he trails off in explanation.
“Huh?” I slow blink once . . . twice . . . three times to clear the fog from my brain but all I can see is Kane’s huge . . . uhh . . .
“You’re staring.” He smirks. “And if you keep on staring at me like that Tink we’re going to be about an hour late.” That snaps me back into consciousness.
“No!” I shout as he prowls closer. “We don’t have time.”
“I’ll be quick,” he hums as he pushes me back onto the bed and somehow scooping up the shirt of his that I slept in last night and pulling it over my head to throw down to the floor like the practiced sex magician that he is—leaving me naked.
“How quick?” I ask before I can stop my mouth from asking what my brain knows that it shouldn’t. I don’t have time to play with Kane. I can’t be late for practice.
“Fast,” Kane says as he flicks open the buttons on those jeans that he wears all too well and lets his hard length spring free. He leans down over me. And I was going to be early anyways, now I’ll just be on time. That’s good enough. I can afford to be fast with Kane.
“Not too fast,” I complain.
“No, baby. Not too fast,” he says just before he crashes his mouth down on mine and slides deep inside me. Kane hits that spot that makes my eyes roll back in my head and all rational thought goes right out the window.

<strong>Exclusive Excerpt: </strong></h2>
It didn't hit me until his little speech. I'd always felt off my entire life. When I was a little kid, I would try on my grandfather’s huge business suits patiently waiting for the day when they would fit me. Taking over Wolfe Industries felt the same way. I had some big shoes to fill, and every day I pushed myself harder and harder to be the man I thought I was supposed to be, the man my grandfather raised me to be and the man the world expected me to be. Seven years later, I didn't feel any different, but now instead of the suit being too big, it felt too tight. I was slowly suffocating, and Callie was my oxygen. If the role of CEO of Wolfe Industries was killing me, the role of Callie's lover, protector, confidante, and personal comedian was bringing me back to life.

Lucy Eden is the <em>nom de plume</em> of a romance obsessed author who writes the kind of romance she loves to read.

When Lucy isn’t writing, she’s busy reading—or listening to—every book she can get her hands on— romance or otherwise.
She lives in New York with her husband, two children, a turtle & a Yorkshire Terrier.

<strong>Exclusive Excerpt:</strong></h2>
Peeking my tongue out, I take a daring chance and taste his bottom lip. He tastes like brandy and cigarettes, mixed with a spicy cologne. He’s delicious. “Do you want to own a fallen princess, Gavvy?” I exhale.
His fingers slide down my waist, gripping my ass ruthlessly hard, his fingers digging into the flesh. I should cry out, but instead, I moan, enjoying how good the bite of pain feels. His hips flex and I feel the unmistakable hardness of his cock press against my belly.
“I already own you, Luciana. I own you and I’ll selfishly use you, then I’ll sell you to the highest bidder,” he announces softly.
His warning, it should terrify me. I should push him away, slap his face, and spit in his eye. What I definitely should not do, is press my mouth against his, I shouldn’t slip my tongue between his lips, and lastly, I shouldn’t moan when his already tight grip on my ass become even tighter.
Gavino, quickly breaks the kiss, taking a step back, his eyes focused on mine. “Pack your personal shit, Luciana. You have five minutes,” he warns.
He doesn’t even look winded from our kiss, he looks completely unaffected, his jaw clenched hard and his eyes showing zero emotion. I nod, taking a step back, attempting to catch my breath. He may be unaffected, but that doesn’t mean that I am. There is no way to deny that even as scared as I am, as terrified of what the future holds, and his warnings—I want him.

I was born and raised in a small farming town in California. I met my husband when I was 16 and he was 19. We married four years later and have two little boys! We lived in Oregon for a few years while he served in the US Coast Guard.
Texas is now where we call home, where our boots rest, and where we’re raising our two little boys and a chocolate lab named Optimus Prime.

<strong>Exclusive Excerpt: </strong></h2>
Alexandra slides the balcony door open. The cool night air drifts in and blows the curtains in a ripple. She steps out, grabs the rails, and turns her head skyward. Her green dress and the hair down her back float like the curtains. I follow Alexandra’s footprints in my rug out into the night…and her.
I slide my hands over her shoulders and slowly down her arms. “Would you tell me what you’re thinking? Are you regretting coming up here?”
Her head lowers. “No. Not even a little.”
I know she has more to say, so I let the noise of the city fill the silence between us until she continues. “I had a dream once I never told you about. I had a conversation with Lainey. It was in a place just like this.”
That admission hits my heart in an unexpected way. “You did?”
“Julian, when we were in Savannah, it was not the time to talk about her or ask questions unless you did. I know some of the loss you feel. I watched my dad. I felt things myself. The things that were most important to me then, and still are now, are that you are ready and that you know I would never, and will never, try to take her place. I want you to feel like you can share her with me. Knowing her will only allow me to know you better.
“I’ve thought that for a long time. So, much like I talked to my mother at the Falls, I talked to her in my alone time in Savannah. Being here, now, closes that chapter for me. I knew I would know if it wasn’t right the minute I stepped in here. My anxiety is gone.” She turns her head, so her chin touches her right shoulder. “I can breathe.”
God she’s stunning. Inside and out.

I needed to repair the cracks in the foundation of my soul.
Find the strength to overcome.
I needed a new city. A new job.
Something that would take me away from everything and everyone
that chained me down in my past.
He needed the same things as I did, but his nightmares were bleeding into everything he touched.
He was living his dream by day, and haunted by his past at night.
For the first time in my life, I wanted to leap head first into the unknown.
And when I did, he caught me.
We could be the key to tearing down the walls within ourselves.
Together, our broken parts could finally be made whole.
