<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Underdog Luke “Single” Singleton is yearning to make a comeback. After getting hit in the neck with a pitch—an injury that nearly cost him his life—he has one last chance to play for his hometown team, the Stockton Beavers. But his mom has Alzheimer’s, and he’s all she has to depend on. How can he pursue his career, much less someone special?<br />
<br />
Personal care aide Roberta Bennett is done dating baseball players. Having had her share of heartbreak, she heads to Stockton hoping for a fresh start. But after she finds Luke’s mom outside, lost, and alone, she can’t refuse when he hires her on the spot. Unbeknownst to Luke, Roberta is all too familiar with the violent tendencies of the pitcher who hit him.<br />
<br />
Now that they’re living under the same roof, the last thing either of them is looking for is a relationship. But it’s not long before they find themselves drawn to each other. And right when Luke is thinking about finally making a change to his single status, a secret from Roberta’s past emerges with the power to tear them apart.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com.</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After a failed marriage and quitting her high-pressure job, Carrie Steinhem is ready for uncomplicated fun. Love? Not what she’s looking for. She’d rather crash a wedding with her friends and find a hot hookup. The bride’s father is onto her, though. But just as her night out veers toward public embarrassment, a sizzling stranger sweeps in and claims Carrie as his date.<br />
<br />
Potential hookup? Check. If she doesn’t get cold feet first.<br />
<br />
Ryan Burton is on the fast track to a promotion…assuming he can avoid distractions and nail this new account. Except the woman he rescued at a friend’s wedding ends up not only being his new neighbor—she’s his client’s ex-wife. And his client has every intention of winning her back.<br />
<br />
Carrie and Ryan would love to leave complicated alone, but when two people share a duplex and irresistible chemistry, temptation—and love—is right around the corner…</blockquote>

<span class="MsoPageNumber"> “Yes, I know. I blew it. The truth is,
I can’t stop thinking about you and the time we had together, as little time as
it was. I want to try again. I know it sounds crazy, and I told myself when I
was chasing you out here that I wasn’t going to do this. I wasn’t going to ask
you out again, and yet here I am doing exactly that.”</span><span class="MsoPageNumber"><span style="color: windowtext; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: .5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="MsoPageNumber">He hesitated, his blue gaze meeting
hers and connecting. “Because I can’t think about anything else but you.”</span><span class="MsoPageNumber"><span style="color: windowtext; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: .5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="MsoPageNumber">His words were a sucker punch to the
gut. She wanted to believe him so badly. To trust what he was saying was true.
But she was so afraid if she let him in, if she gave him all she had, if she
started to believe they could have something together, he’d eventually turn his
back on her and let her down. Again. She resumed running. Slowly, if for no
other reason than to put some distance between them. He was getting to her: the
sincerity in his eyes, the truth in his tone. She couldn’t say for sure whether
he was being honest, but she could say that she knew how he was feeling,
because she was feeling it too. </span><span class="MsoPageNumber"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="MsoPageNumber"> “I was looking forward to taking my buddy
Riley here to the beach that day,” she said, dipping that first toe into
proverbial waters.</span><span class="MsoPageNumber"><span style="color: windowtext; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: .5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="MsoPageNumber"> </span><span class="MsoPageNumber">“So I might be open to giving it a try.
As long as this isn’t about sex.” She looked at him. “That’s not what this is
about, is it? Are you just hoping to get back into my pants?" </span><span class="MsoPageNumber"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="MsoPageNumber">"Okay, I would,” he admitted. “But
no, that's not why I'm here. Though I really do like watching you run in those
pants."</span><span class="MsoPageNumber"><span style="color: windowtext; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: .5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="MsoPageNumber">She’d missed him. She'd missed this,
right here—their ease with each other. And the way he could make her laugh.
God, she missed laughing. </span><span class="MsoPageNumber"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body" style="line-height: 115%; tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-indent: .5in;">

him in the dust.</span><span class="MsoPageNumber"><span style="color: windowtext; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: .5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Playing center field for the New York Kings, Jake Woodbury has one of the most prestigious jobs in all of sports. To the world, he's the good-looking, soft-spoken minister's son who’s survived celebrity without a hint of scandal. But, inside, he's reeling from a secret that seems destined to haunt him forever.<br />
<br />
Scarlett Moore is one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, famous for singing about her celebrity ex-boyfriends. The CEO of her record label has carefully honed her provocative image since she was fifteen. Sex sells, and Scarlett’s well aware that it takes more than talent to stay on top.<br />
<br />
One thing is clear: She’s the last thing Jake needs. And he’s the do-gooder jock she should avoid at all costs. But when the game begins, all bets are off.</blockquote>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #141414;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Something's
bothering him. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to drag it out of him, one kiss at a time if I have to.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #141414;"><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #141414; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: #141414; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: #141414;"><span style="font-size: large;">He didn't want
to come up to my room with me, but he did, and that tells me all I need to
know.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #141414;"><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

me up here, he conceded any chance he had at maintaining home-field advantage.
Yet, based on the way he's ravishing my mouth, he fully intends to score.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #141414;"><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

with my tongue, prodding him to let go and give in to me. He groans, nipping at
my bottom lip before quickly soothing it over with his tongue. I smile against
his lips, loving how his gentle side is always quick to emerge, even when he's
attacking my mouth, consumed with desire.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

chimes and the door slides open, but he doesn't stop. Instead, he walks
backward with me clinging to his body, his mouth all over mine. Luckily, I made
sure to have my keycard in hand before leaving the ballroom. It takes me a few
tries before I'm finally able to swipe it over the automated lock, and then we
crash through the door, blindly stumbling across the room before collapsing
onto the bed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #141414;"><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I gasp, breaking away from him.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

recaptures my lips, not even giving me a chance to catch my breath.</span><span style="font-size: 12.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

She is the author of NIGHT GAMES, GAME CHANGER and GAME ON.</div>

<i>Play. Or be played.</i><br />
The music should be enough. End of story. But Aaron Major is finding out it’s not, and now his agent has hired a firm of suits to help launch his debut album, turning his life into a goddamn circus. Smile here. Play there. Be nice. Well, screw that. If Aaron wanted to spend his time shaking hands and kissing babies, he would’ve gone into politics.<br />
<br />
Helping launch the career of country singer Aaron Major should be a cakewalk for PR pro Melody Sharp. Aaron is charming, sexy, and oh-so-appealing when he’s on stage. Off stage, though, he’s her worst nightmare. A stubborn, ornery, reclusive nightmare without a lick of business—or fashion—sense. The only way he’s going to make it in music is with a serious makeover—and quite possibly a personality transplant.<br />
Soon, they’re engaged in a game of give and take, and though it’s Melody calling the shots, it’s Aaron who holds all control…</blockquote>

Aleksei is furious when Kate arrives on the small Greek island of Naxea and tries to hide the truth for him.

<br />
Joanne Walsh became hooked on romance when her grandma gave her a copy of Gone with the Wind for her birthday. The teachers at her strict girls' school didn't approve of reading such a 'racy' novel and confiscated it. But Joanne had been introduced to Rhett Butler and so began her life-long love affair with the rogue alpha hero. She became a voracious romance reader and, later, enjoyed a long career as an editor for one of the world's leading women's fiction publishers, where she collaborated with some wonderful writers.<br />
<br />
These days, Joanne lives in the south of England and divides her time between working as a freelance fiction editor and writing romance, and spending time with her very own real-life hero...<br />

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Hi, I’m Joanne and
I’m an alphaholic! I’ve always loved
romances where the hero is an alpha male.
My addiction started when my grandmother gave me her copy of Gone with
the Wind (1936 first edition!) and I encountered Rhett Butler: tall, dark,
handsome, wiley and wealthy, with that indefinable charisma and a touch of the
boy-gone-bad. And I’ve been hooked ever since.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Some people tell me loving
alpha heroes is bad for me—they’re all the same and not very nice. But I don’t think so. To me, the alpha is the ultimate in male
heroism: strong, a natural leader, with high values and morals. Okay, some can start out being a little
arrogant and stubborn, maybe they’ll need to learn a lesson in how to love. But
they’re good men at heart, and I adore the process of seeing them discovering
this as they seek redemption. If there’s
an alpha male starring in a romance, you can guarantee the story will be fast
paced and passionate; the man whom all women want, he’s a little harder to get,
and the heroine will fall hard for him, with all the resulting delicious
conflict and sexual tension!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">When I found an
opportunity in my life to realize a long-held ambition to write, I knew
instantly that it would be romance, and that I would create alpha heroes of my
own. Aleksei Aleksanou, the Greek hero
of A Wife in Every Sense is a classic alpha. Tough, driven, incredibly gorgeous
and extremely rich, he’s quite traditional in his outlook. Deep down, he wants
a wife whom he can protect, who will give him children he can nurture and
indulge. But Aleksei’s own childhood was
marred by tragedy and a lack of love, so he cannot trust himself in
relationships. However, one night spent
with Kate, his ex-personal assistant—who has secretly fallen for him—has unexpected
consequences, and suddenly he’s faced with having to step up a plate filled
with marriage and fatherhood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I hope you will enjoy
a little drop of alphaholism when you read A Wife in Every Sense, and also Aleksei’s
journey to where he finally opens his heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Worth the Risk</b>
Their love was ancient history...until their paths crossed again.
Samantha Bennett put Dean Malloy out of her mind five years ago, when he broke her heart after a summer fling. But now he's back in her life, and ready to steal a heritage protection contract that could make or break her career–if he doesn't steal her heart first. Samantha's vowed to hate him, but it's more than anger heating the competition between them.
With sparks flying across the conference table and sizzling in every touch, Dean proposes a weekend liaison. Anything to have Sam again–anything to get her out of his system. But the unresolved feelings between them complicate their personal and professional lives, and one wild weekend could turn into a disaster that would destroy the one job that means more to Samantha than anything.
<b>Risky Surrender</b>
She'll search for treasure but steal his heart.
Lucy Davenport made a promise to her father and husband right before they died, and she's vowed to keep it any cost. But when she draws unwanted attention to her secret plans, she's forced to risk everything she's kept guarded. Because the man standing in her way threatens not only her goal but the walls she's carefully constructed around her heart.
Keats McCall is an environmental preservationist navigating the globe on behalf of heritage protection. When he catches Lucy at his latest project, he suspects she's up to no good. She's secretive, sexy as hell–and has trouble written all over her. He devises a plan to keep her close so he can watch her. But what he isn't prepared for is just how close he wants to get.
<b>His Million-Dollar Risk</b>
Determined to make his latest preservation project on Route 66 a success, Connor Gibson will take any good press he can get–even if it means spending a week with a reporter. And even if it’s one from a publication he has good reason to hate. Connor certainly isn’t expecting a spontaneous and undeniably attractive blonde who makes him seriously hot for the press...
Charlize Beckett is in deeeep trouble. This is her one chance to prove to her publisher dad that she's a serious journalist, even if she has to pretend she's someone else. Worse, is trying to maintain any objectivity with the way too charming Connor. She can't help but get into all kinds of sexy trouble with him. But by going off the record, Charlie is putting both her reputation and her heart on the line...
<b>One Night of Risk </b>
It's good girl Malia Davis's turn to be bad. Very bad. Malia has returned to Kauai to retrieve a piece of crystal her sick mother believes has healing properties. Malia thinks her only problem is accessing the “closed to the public” temple where the crystal is buried. She's wrong. She has an even bigger problem—the guy who broke her heart ten years ago. The guy she hates...and still wants oh-so-badly.
A former Navy SEAL, security expert Clay Doherty is investigating the thefts at the temple. Malia's presence and the undeniable chemistry between them complicate matters. Certain that Malia is up to something, Clay will do whatever it takes to protect her...even if it means losing her for good.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Hi everyone! Thank you Debbie, Raquel, Wanda and Damaris for
having me here to celebrate my new boxed set release! I thought I’d share an
excerpt from One Night of Risk with you today. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
One Night of Risk is the fourth and final novella in my Take
A Risk series, and a bonus to the newly bundled boxed set. Each book is a stand
alone, but connected by my heritage protection heroes. Guys who are passionate
about the environment and preserving history, and love adventure. Falling in
love isn't on their radar, but my heroines’ trip them up…big time.<o:p></o:p></div>

<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Excerpt from One Night of Risk…<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Malia woke to the sound of rain tapping the
window. She stretched her very satiated muscles and before waking fully,
pictured Clay. His gaze full of warmth and passion; his incredible, naked body
as he pushed inside her; his smile, the one filled with mischief when he
reacted to something she said or did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> Turning to her side in hopes of
catching him in slumber, she opened her eyes and her heart bottomed out. She
slid her hand over the cool, abandoned spot as her chest squeezed. She’d
promised herself not to let him in, not to treat last night as anything
special, but the tightness burning a hole behind her ribs said she’d failed
epically at that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> Of course he’d hightailed it out of
here this morning. He’d agreed to stay the night, nothing more, and the stupid
way her heart hurt was ridiculous.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> She rolled onto her back and pressed
her fingers to her eyelids to push back the emotion threatening to spill out in
tears she thought had dried up. She wasn’t a teenager anymore and could handle
this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> She didn’t regret their night
together. Not for a single second.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> The only thing she regretted was not
waking first and kissing him good-bye with a carefree attitude.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> She brought her arms down and
pressed her palms into the mattress, taking a deep breath. She needed to put
last night in the “win” column. Sex multiple times with a sexy man who had
ninja-level seduction skills should probably be at the top of that column
actually.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> The ache started to dissipate and
she smiled. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Besides, she was here on a mission and the man
in her bed last night compromised that. She sat up and glanced out the window.
Early summer storms usually passed quickly, but digging in the mud wouldn’t be
fun. And if Clay were onto her, which she suspected he was, she’d better not
trespass again too soon. She wished he’d just come out and tell her he knew
instead of waiting for her to come clean. Didn’t he realize how hard that was
for her? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">She closed her eyes and allowed herself one
more vision of his gorgeous everything. One more thought. When she opened her
eyes she wouldn’t spend another second thinking about Clay Doherty.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Only when she did lift her lids, she saw him
standing in the doorway watching her. “Goddammit.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">The Clay in the doorway chuckled and said,
“Good morning to you, too.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">She blinked, but he still stood there. In the
flesh. Her forehead fell into her palm. Her heart did a shimmy. “I thought you
were a mirage.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">He laughed again and the sound was altogether too
delicious. “On a tropical island?” He moved into the room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">She shrugged. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">“You thought I’d left.” The bed dipped as he
sat and handed her a cup of something that smelled like hot chocolate with
cinnamon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">“Maybe.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">His brows screwed up in disbelief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">“Can you blame me?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Zed and ballet are my two greatest loves.<br />
<br />
But a tragic accident ripped them from Aly's life six years ago and it took all her strength to get them back. She’s had a long road to recovery and has returned, dancing full-time for The District Ballet Company and carrying Zed’s child. But Aly is slipping. Each day becomes a fight to keep her career from crumbling under the weight of younger talent, the scrutiny of the public eye, and the limitations of her ever-changing body. A fight she fears she’s losing.<br />
<br />
I’m scared Aly is broken to her core.<br />
<br />
Zed recognizes signs, but he doesn’t know how to fix her. The accident left him with his own demons, and while he wants nothing more than to take care of Aly, it’s getting harder the further she spirals. When Aly’s life is threatened and Zed’s injuries prevent him from saving her, he’s never felt so useless, so afraid he is no longer capable of being the man Aly and their child needs.<br />
<br />
With new life comes new hope. And with their fractured lives already hanging by a thread, Aly and Zed must discover if they have what it takes—both together and apart—to rebuild and carry on.</blockquote>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5 Songs from Finding Center’s Playlist (Guest Post)</b></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like many writers, I love to listen to music as I write. I
don’t mind music with lyrics either, though I usually pick a song in another
language to put on loop while I edit. Here are five songs from Finding Center’s
playlist that helped me get into the mood for writing Zed and Aly!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->STORM WARNING by Hunter Hayes – This reminded me
a lot of Aly from Zed’s perspective. I think Aly doesn’t always know that she’s
fun, and lively, and lovable. Zed doesn’t forget that, but sometimes he feels
like he’s in a huge storm: thrilling and terrifying at the same time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->BLESS THE BROKEN ROAD by Rascal Flatts – this
was my quiet song for Zed’s POV. If you know this song, I think it’s easy to
understand why. No matter where these two were in the world, they were always
going to find each other, and then find each other again, and again, as often
as they need to. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->PAST LIVES by Kesha – I love this song, way more
than I thought I would. It was the song I listened to for when Aly was sad or
struggling. She never doubts Zed, and this song reminds me of that. “I keep on
falling for you, time after time, time after time, I’ll make you mine, time
after…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->ALREADY HOME by A Great Big World – another
gentle sweet song about love, <i>after </i>the
happily ever after. After the <i>we’re in
love and this is what we want our lives to be</i>. “I say, we’re right in the
heart of it. A love only we understand. I will bend every light in this city
and make sure they’re shining on you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->5.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->MESS IS MINE by Vance Joy – I’m not saying that
I’ve written Zed and Aly’s first dance to this song, but I’m not saying it’s
not sitting on my hard drive. I love this song so much and it makes me cry. In
a good way! <o:p></o:p></div>

But an odd encounter at an abandoned warehouse leaves the team with more questions than answers.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Third baseman Drake Schultz is the undisputed bad boy of the New York Kings. So it's no surprise when Major League Baseball suspends him for taking performance-enhancing drugs. Furious with their superstar, the front office issues an ultimatum: either work with their sober companion or kiss the rest of his quarter-billion-dollar contract goodbye. Cocky and arrogant, Drake resists being saddled with a live-in babysitter—even one he's insanely attracted to.<br />
<br />
Drake is Eva Sloane's first celebrity client as a substance abuse counselor, and she knows she's in trouble when he starts tempting her at every turn. The way he looks at her is as hot as sin, but she refuses to become his new drug of choice. Slowly, she helps him realize he has to face the demons from his past and heal his tortured spirit before he can even think about satisfying any craving he has for her. </blockquote>

<b>3. The Cutting Edge</b><br /><br />She's a rich and refined pairs figure skater whose prima donna attitude has her skating solo. He's a brash, blue-collar hockey champion with a new injury and no future. With nothing in common but their dream of reaching the Olympics, Kate and Doug are each other's last resort. Reluctantly, they join forces, but its not long before the barbs – and sparks – start flying as the unlikely pair skate towards the opportunity of a lifetime: a chance at a medal...and a chance at love.<br /><br /><b>Starring:</b> Moira Kelly, D. B. Sweeney<br /><br />This flick is one of my all-time favorites. There's something about a big, tough hockey player finding his sensitive side—plus the chemistry between these two is off-the-charts hot!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com.</div>

Sometimes it's easier to run...<br />
<br />
Ripped apart by guilt and grief, nineteen-year-old Whit Conrad grabs her stuff and runs from her super-conservative home and family in Pennsylvania and hauls ass for sunny California. All she wants is escape. Now she has a craptastic apartment, a job at a tattoo parlour, and even a friend-who's-mostly-benefits. Then she meets a sexy, inked, surfer-dude who has the potential of capsizing everything...<br />
<br />
Deo Beckett is adrift. Underemployed and over-boozing, Deo knows he should be doing something more with his life. Being something more. All it takes is a pin-up hottie with a smart mouth—and a bruised soul—to force Deo to start looking below the surface. To wonder if there's more to life than being a beach bum. Now he's falling for Whit...and hard.<br />
<br />
But Whit ran from home for a reason, and she'll go to any lengths to keep Deo from learning the truth...<br />

<b><i>Welcome to Fortune’s Island, where the only rule is to follow your heart.</i></b><br />
<br />
Love is an extravagance Darcy Williams can’t afford. She prefers the simple life, which includes waitressing at The Love Shack and avoiding temptation. But when a forbidden part of her past steps off the ferry, her safe, guarded existence is turned upside down.<br />
<br />
Kincaid Foster has never gotten over his first love. When he sees the wild, beautiful blonde again, dancing her way around The Love Shack, the memories of Darcy’s soft skin, gentle touch, and heated kisses come rushing back. As the privileged son of a wealthy family, Kincaid was too young to stand up to his overbearing father when he and Darcy were together. Now, he’s back on the island—free of the family shackles—and the chiseled, big-time lawyer wants a second chance.<br />
<br />
But, Darcy made a promise to keep a secret from Kincaid—a secret that is now a six-year-old girl who looks just like her daddy. If Kincaid finds out about their daughter, Darcy could lose everything. But, she can’t resist the man who stole her heart all those years ago. And it doesn’t take long before both of them realize that anything can happen on a hot summer night.</blockquote>

Dominique is still alive after killing Tavion, the Tainted who's hunted her for lifetimes. Yet her protectors still fear for her life. They force her to flee Houston and abandon the friends she loves. But they can't protect her from herself. When Dominique starts hearing Tavion's voice in her head, she realizes that her personal connection to the Tainted still exists. And when her car is ambushed, she discovers another frightening truth—someone close to her is a traitor.<br />
<br />
Desperate for answers, Dominique seeks the aid of first lifers Trent and Infiniti. With their help, she hopes to find her new enemy. But things get complicated with Trent when she finally accepts her eternal love for Farrell, and even more complicated when the whispers in her head threaten her loved ones. Determined to live, Dominique decides to make a final stand against the forces that want to end her. For good.<br />

Rose Garcia is a lawyer turned writer who's always been fascinated by science fiction and fantasy. From a very young age, she often had her nose buried in books about other-worlds, fantastical creatures, and life and death situations. More recently she's been intrigued by a blend of science fiction and reality, and the idea that some supernatural events are, indeed, very real. Fueled by her imagination, she created The Transhuman Chronicles--a series of books about people who have overcome human limitations.</div>

<b>Title</b>: Priya in Heels<br />
<b>Author</b>: Ayesha Patel<br />
<b>Genre</b>: New Adult, Contemporary Romance, Multi-cultural<br />
<b>Publication</b>: August 28th, 2014<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
A new adult title from Entangled’s Embrace imprint…<br />
<br />
Love doesn’t conquer all…does it?<br />
<br />
Priyanka Patel is the epitome of an obedient daughter. She’s finishing up her medical residency at one of Houston’s busiest emergency departments, and has agreed—albeit reluctantly—to marry the man her family has chosen for her. The only thing that can derail the “perfect” life laid out before her is the sexy musician down the hall who wants into her life…and into her bed.<br />
<br />
Tyler O’Connor has been infatuated with Priya since she treated his sprained ankle in the ER, and after saving her from a brutal attack, he can't get her out of his head. When Priya puts her family's wishes before their relationship, agreeing to an arranged marriage with another man, Tyler is devastated.<br />
<br />
But love is fierce and unreasonable and clashes with the carefully sculpted life her parents want for her. Is going after her heart such a big deal, or will it truly unravel Priya’s world?</blockquote>

Shimmering green eyes like emeralds. Auburn hair, a little wavy, wisped across

lips curved upward, set above a firm, square jaw. He almost had me stuttering

<b>Title</b>: What If<br />
<b>Author</b>: A.J. Pine<br />
<b>Series</b>: If Only #2 (Companion)<br />
<b>Genre</b>: New Adult, Contemporary Romance<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Sometimes it takes letting go of the past to find out who you want to be.<br />
<br />
During his semester abroad, Griffin Reed almost gave his heart to a girl who loved someone else. Lesson learned. Now he’s home, where following in his father’s footsteps may not be what he wants, but it’s what his parents expect. It might be taking the easy road, but he doesn’t see a way out.<br />
<br />
Something that could have killed Maggie Kendall took away the person she used to be instead. Her condition makes her dependent on sticky notes, photos, and medication just to get through each day. The last thing she needs is a distraction—or someone new to disappoint.<br />
<br />
What they refuse to see is they are perfect for each other. Maggie makes Griffin want to be a better man, and he makes her believe a future is possible. But these two have to find a way to share the secrets ripping them apart, if they’re ever going to have a chance at happiness.</blockquote>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">Stunned silence. That’s my response as I watch him leave, but when the door bangs shut, I’m all words.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">“What the hell was that? Miles, what do I… I don’t even…” Okay, maybe I’m all words, but I never claimed they were coherent.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">Miles watches the door with me as he approaches the bar.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">“Do you want control of your life, Mags?”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">I nod. Everything I do is an attempt to regain control. Of course that’s what I want.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">“It’s up to you, sweetheart. If you want my opinion, that was some romantic shit he just pulled, but if you want a say, if you want to be a part of this decision, then <i>be</i> a part of it.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">So I spring up from the stool and race outside to where Griffin sits, already behind the wheel of his truck. Thank God because I didn’t think this through. No coat.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">I yank open the passenger-side door and climb in. Wide-eyed but grinning, Griffin waits for me to say something.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">“I <i>don’t</i> want to date you,” I say, repeating what I keep telling him, keep telling myself.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">“I know. We have an agreement. I was there when we made it.” His confidence doesn’t falter, but his words are painted with a slight edge he means for me to hear.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">I rub the chill from my arms, and Griffin starts the truck.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">“For the heat,” he explains.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">
<span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">“I know about our agreement, but that doesn’t mean you get to waltz in here with this sort of anti-grand gesture and knock me on my ass.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">

But it’s more than just him. I taste his hunger, too. So we linger while the truck heats up, while his warm breath mingles with mine. For a few moments, it is the perfect kiss good-bye.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="TX">
“Show me the way back to you.” He buries his face in my neck, drags
his lips to the place behind my ear, the headwaters for all delicious shivers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
“I want that so much.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
“I’ll do whatever it takes, go off the map.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
“You will?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
“We’re already there.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
He’s right. We’ve been explorers for some time. During the last
little while it’s as if a blizzard descended, we were stuck in a whiteout, so
close, but the snow made everything indistinguishable. At last, the storm’s
abating and he’s right there, and I’m over here. Suddenly, we can see each
other.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
Within us is the way forward. We each possess half of the compass
and must join together to find the right direction.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
“You’ve got to know how much I need you.” A lock of his wet hair
twists in a boyish curl.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
I go to smooth it down, but my fingers tangle in the thick waves,
and instead draw him closer.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
He bows his head, still panting a little. “You can’t check out on
me like that again. I can’t live this bloody life devoid of you—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
I brush my mouth over his lower lip, that reddening mark where his
teeth left imprints. “I won’t. I’m so sorry. I-I’m ready to try. Thank you for
believing in me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
“I’ll never stop.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
We rest our foreheads together, holding one another upright.
Droplets fall from his hairline onto my cheeks, joining fresh tears. He’s
water, I’m water, and our flotsam and jetsam fit in a way that’s strange, yet
familiar. I have no idea where we’re going, only that the way out is lined with
broken feathers, bloodstains, marrow ash, and the serrated teeth of sharks.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
This journey will take all I’ve got, a small price to have
everything.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="TX">
And that’s exactly what this guy in my arms is.<o:p></o:p></div>

Lia Riley writes offbeat New Adult Romance. After studying at the University of Montana-Missoula, she scoured the world armed only with a backpack, overconfidence and a terrible sense of direction. She counts shooting vodka with a Ukranian mechanic in Antarctica, sipping yerba mate with gauchos in Chile and swilling XXXX with stationhands in Outback Australia among her accomplishments. When not torturing heroes (because c'mon, who doesn't love a good tortured hero?), Lia herds unruly chickens, camps, beach combs, daydreams about as-of-yet unwritten books, wades through a mile-high TBR pile and schemes yet another trip. She and her family live in Northern California.</blockquote>

<b>Title</b>:
<br />
<b>Author</b>:<br />
<b>Series</b>: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/series/83095-the-blooming-goddess-trilogy" target="_blank">The Blooming Goddess Trilogy #1</a><br />
<b>Genre</b>: Young Adult, mythological<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Sixteen-year-old Sophie Bloom wishes she’d been taught the following:<br />
a) Bad boy’s presence (TrOuBlE) + teen girl’s brain (DraMa) = TrAuMa (Highly unstable and very volatile.)<br />
b) The Genus Greekulum Godissimus is notable for three traits: 1) awesome abilities, 2) grudges, and 3) hook-ups, break-ups, and in-fighting that puts cable to shame.<br />
<br />
Prior to the Halloween dance, Sophie figures her worst problems involve adolescent theatrics, bitchy teen yoga girls, and being on probation at her boarding school for mouthy behaviour. Then she meets bad boy Kai and gets the kiss that rocks her world.<br />
<br />
Literally.<br />
<br />
This breath stealing lip lock reawakens Sophie’s true identity: Persephone, Goddess of Spring. She’s key to saving humanity in the war between the Underworld and Olympus, target numero uno of Hades and Zeus, and totally screwed.<br />
<br />
Plus there’s also the little issue that Sophie’s last memory as Persephone was just before someone tried to murder her.<br />
Big picture: master her powers, get her memories back, defeat Persephone’s would be assassin, and save the world. Also, sneak into the Underworld to retrieve stolen property, battle the minions of Hades and Zeus, outwit psycho nymphs, slay a dragon, rescue a classmate, keep from getting her butt expelled from the one place designed to keep her safe …<br />
<br />
… and stop kissing Kai, Prince of the Underworld.<br />
<br />
My Ex From Hell is a YA romantic comedy, Greek mythology smackdown. Love meets comedy with a whole lot of sass in book one of this teen fantasy romance series. Compared to Kai and Sophie, Romeo and Juliet had it easy.</blockquote>

<b>When the going gets desperate, the desperate send email </b><br />
<br />
To: ????<br />
From: bloomingoddess@gmail.com<br />
Subject: Seriously?<br />
<br />
Dear Your Royal Imperialness Demeter, Goddess of Grain and Fertility, Preserver of
Marriage, and Bringer of Seasons,<br />
Or can I just call you Mom?<br />
Bet you never thought you’d be hearing from me. Sorry for not having written sooner,
but until about twelve hours ago, I didn’t know you existed. Nothing personal.<br />
See, yesterday, I was plain old Sophie Bloom. My life sucked in your typical 16-year-old
ways. I was stuck here at Hope Park Progressive School on probation again (“mouthy
behavior”), dealing with cliquish poseurs, rampant hormones, blah blah blah.<br />
Then I met a guy. I know that’s the worst cliché ever. But sadly, it’s true. And of course,
me being me, he couldn’t be just any bad boy. No. He had to be Kai, son of Hades, Lord of
the Underworld. Anyway, he was really hot and there was this bone-melting kiss and …
whatever. The point is, before he showed up, I thought I was human. Afterward, well, let’s
just say everything changed. Who knew when I was cramming Greek mythology for my
English final, I was studying the family tree?<br />
They say when you die, your whole life supposedly flashes before your eyes. When Kai
and I kissed, here’s what flashed before mine—Mount Olympus, Zeus, the Underworld,
Hades, and you. But that wasn’t my life. Or was it?<br />
Here’s the Wiki version. (Do you have Wi-Fi on Mt. Olympus?) Turns out I’m
Persephone. Me, Goddess of Spring and Embodiment of Earth’s Fertility? Ew! Which makes
me your kid, Hades’ target, and totally screwed. In the myth version, I’m the innocent
maiden, you’re the grieving mother, and we’re reunited with great joy. Guess that’s why they
call it a myth.<br />
I know I sound like a nut bar. And maybe I’ll wake up in a padded room restrained for
my own safety. But in that moment with Kai, it felt real. Like I knew who I was. Or used to be. Those were my memories flashing before my eyes—not some fantasy or hallucination.
Part of me remembered those moments. But where do I go from here? And is there an online
tutorial I can take?<br />
I don’t exactly have your email. But if you’re a goddess, maybe you’ll know I’m writing.
That I really need my mom right now. And if not—well, I guess I’ll save this for my
obituary. Which I’ll probably need pretty soon because of the gods-wanting-me-dead thing.<br />
<br />
Take care.<br />
Sophie<br />
a.k.a. Persephone<br />
a.k.a. Goddess of Spring<br />
a.k.a. Your Daughter
<br />

<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pitching phenom Bruce "Jilly" Gillette has a hard time talking to women. His hulking presence of tattoos and muscles is what makes him an intimidating closer on the mound, yet off the field, he's painfully shy, uncomfortable in his own skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Desperate to revamp his loner image, the New York Kings hold a dream date contest, granting the lucky winner a night on the town with their surly reliever, doing whatever it takes to force Jilly out of his comfort zone.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hailey Halpert enters the contest on a whim, looking for answers as to why her high school relationship with Jilly hit the skids. Now she’s a popular romance author writing under a pen name, and her reappearance in Jilly's life is no accident. It turns out that her novels are all about the sexy players on the Kings, and Jilly has no clue that he's about to become her new leading man.</div>

Hurst (SONS OF ANARCHY) - Bruce "Jilly" Gillette</span></b></div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Ryan's
portrayal of Opie Winston, the gentle giant astride a Harley, was hands down my
biggest source of inspiration when it came to putting a name and a face to
Jilly. I always found Ryan's understated performance of Opie to be absolutely
mesmerizing. I think he's the type of man that a lot of women innately respond
to. He's not the all-eyes-on-me alpha like Jax Teller on the show (or for that
matter, Scott Harper or Chase Whitfield in GAME ON). He's more the calming beta
presence. He's the loyal second-in-command, who demonstrates more of a quiet
confidence than the showy, look-at-me variety. The only times he's unsure of
himself is when it comes to women, and then his vulnerability usually bleeds
through, making him that much more attractive (I think!) to the opposite sex.
He's real because beneath that gruff demeanor, there's a guy unafraid to wear
his heart on his sleeve.<o:p></o:p></div>

Panettiere (NASHVILLE) - Hailey Halpert</b></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Hailey's
quiet on the outside, but quite vocal on the inside, and I think Hayden would
capture that mix perfectly. She has the petite and tiny shape that Jilly just
wants to protect with everything in him, and her eyes house that sparkle that
let everyone know that she's a force to be reckoned with. She runs up against
some powerful adversaries for writing her romance novels about Jilly's team,
the New York Kings, but she doesn't back down, determined to hold her ground
and use her writing talent to show Jilly just how much she loves him.</div>

Connolly (ENTOURAGE) - Rick Murphy</b></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
He's
the "short of stature but big of heart" mechanic who just so happens
to be Jilly's "brother from another mother," so to speak. The two
grew up together and were practically inseparable after Jilly's mom passed away
when he was five and his dad basically checked out on him. The Murphys took
Jilly in, raising him as a second son, signing him up for T-ball and fostering
his major league dream. The thing I love about Rick is that he's not about
appearances. The sign above his garage is done in spray paint, but he's the
real deal where it counts. He's the one who takes Jilly in when he has nowhere
else to go, getting him out of bar fights and always having his back whenever
the going gets tough.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com.</div>

She is the author of NIGHT GAMES, GAME CHANGER and GAME ON.</div>

<b>Title</b>: Game Changer<br />
<b>Author</b>: Collette West<br />
<b>Genre</b>: Adult contemporary romance<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Young, rich, and unaware of how seriously hot he is, Brooks Davison is tearing it up as the latest shortstop for the New York Kings, despite his tendency to blush whenever girls scream his name.<br />
<br />
When a health scare forces his best friend, Kyle Roberts, off the team, no one can stomach the thought of replacing him, especially so close to the playoffs.<br />
<br />
Until Kyle's sister, Sasha, steps in, convincing management to let her take his place. The idea of signing the first female player in Major League history proves too tempting for the Kings to resist.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, Brooks doesn't want any part of it. Sasha is Kyle's little sister, not some sideshow.<br />
<br />
Yet when Kyle takes a turn for the worse, Brooks promises to do everything in his power to help Sasha win a championship for him. Because there's no way he's letting either of them down. Not now, not ever.</blockquote>

Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.<br />
<br />
Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com.<br />
<br />
She is the author of NIGHT GAMES and GAME CHANGER.<br />

Erotic Romance<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>The playboy...</i><i><br /></i>Khalid Francois Duïs is a man who isn't afraid to take what he wants. And what he wants is Olivia Pierce. As his best friend's sister, she was supposed to be off limits but Olivia quickly becomes a fever in his blood he simply can't shake. He will do whatever it takes to have her with him and underneath him, even it means kidnapping.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>The independent woman...</i><i><br /></i>Olivia Pierce vows to never marry, instead choosing to focus on her career. But a clandestine encounter with Khalid’s threatens her resolve. Though her mind says no, her body screams yes! Her only option is to reject the the arrogant industrialist who believes a woman's place is in his bed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When Olivia rejects Khalid's advances, he takes matters in his own hands and whisks her away to placate his obsession. From the tempestuous passion of their first encounter, across stormy seas, to a beautiful oasis in Africa, Olivia becomes his prisoner and a slave to Khalid’s all-consuming seduction. </span></blockquote>

<blockquote>
Koko Brown is an USA TODAY Bestselling author and romance junkie who once read over 200 Zebra romance Club novels the summer before her senior year in high school.<br />
Her writing career began at the tender age of nine when she self-published and distributed a newspaper for her fellow classmates. Unfortunately, her grade-school principal Mr. Clark didn’t appreciate the competition and put her out of business after one best-selling issue.<br />
Undaunted, Koko continued to write and read everything she could get her hands on. She honed her writing skills as a staff writer on her college’s newspaper, writing obituaries for the local newspaper, and even teaching American Literature.<br />
One day, while daydreaming in bed, she came up with the idea for her first erotic manuscript. Taking a hiatus from teaching, she had enough time on her hands to flesh out the story in two short weeks. A month later, she cleaned it up and sent it to Ellora’s Cave . By January, she received a revision letter from one of their editors and by March she signed a contract for her vampire erotic novel Charmed.<br />
Koko calls the east coast of Florida home. Even though she’s a multipublished author of interracial erotic romance, she has a life. She loves to travel (three continents, 20+ countries and 38 states so far), shop in thrift stores, ride motorcycles, and volunteering.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ava Bradshaw is stuck in mid-flight.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Four months after meeting devastatingly handsome and intensely passionate Enzo Milano, Ava is sure her fairy tale has come true. But how well can you know a man after just a few months?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Enzo’s womanizing past is just something she can’t ignore, as much as she would like to. Faced with a delusional former employee on her wedding day, Ava thinks it couldn’t possibly get crazier than that. But it does.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">His secretive past comes to light in the most public way, and Ava gets a glimpse into the cold, dark man he was before her love opened him up. Will this new information change her feelings towards her prince charming?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ava and Enzo must tackle the past as they prepare for the future. Jealousy, insecurity, secrets, and even lies come between them and their blissful happiness. Will it all be too much for a new relationship to bear? Or will their intense love for each other endure any trial?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<blockquote>
<span id="freeTextauthor6560238" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jennifer Domenico started
writing as a five-year old child in the back of her mother’s bible in
church. It was a way to keep the fidgety child quiet but even then she
took simple stories and twisted them into even more imaginative tales.
As she grew, the stories grew with her and she filled notebook after
notebook with her musings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span id="freeTextauthor6560238"><br /></span>
<span id="freeTextauthor6560238">As an adult, she knew she wanted to be
a writer but she lacked the attention span and inspiration required to
produce a full length story. Eventually she put away her notebooks and
turned her attention to the business world where she toiled away for
many years.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span id="freeTextauthor6560238"><br /></span>
<span id="freeTextauthor6560238">She stopped reading fiction, stopped entertaining her
outlandish imagination, and stopped dreaming of being a writer. Until
one day, many months ago she went to sleep and a beautiful love story
played out in her dreams.</span></span><br />

<span id="freeTextauthor6560238">When she awoke she felt compelled to
write it down. And she wrote and she wrote, for days and days she wrote.
The result is part one of Enzo and Ava’s story. Turn Towards the Sun is
her first, but certainly not her last, novel.</span></span><br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The playboy…
Khalid Francois Duïs is a man who isn’t afraid to take what he wants. And what he wants is Olivia Pierce. As his best friend’s sister, she was supposed to be off limits but Olivia quickly becomes a fever in his blood he simply can’t shake. He will do whatever it takes to have her with him and underneath him, even it means kidnapping.
<br />
<br />
The independent woman…
<br />
<br />
Olivia Pierce vows to never marry, instead choosing to focus on her career. But a clandestine encounter with Khalid’s threatens her resolve. Though her mind says no, her body screams yes! Her only option is to reject the the arrogant industrialist who believes a woman’s place is in his bed.
<br />
<br />
When Olivia rejects Khalid’s advances, he takes matters in his own hands and whisks her away to placate his obsession. From the tempestuous passion of their first encounter, across stormy seas, to a beautiful oasis in Africa, Olivia becomes his prisoner and a slave to Khalid’s all-consuming seduction.</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
I have mixed feelings about this book. Now no where does it say its a historical or anything, but the beginning of the story I felt like I was back in the early 1900's. Just the way Olivia is expected to get married and settle down after school. The way her brother seems to be her keeper. It just didn't feel very modern to me. But overall it was a good story and something different than what I have read before.<br />
<br />
Olivia is an independent woman who is just graduating college and looking to focus in a career instead of marriage like most of her classmates. She moves back home with her brother and begins to work along side him. She is very happy with her choices and likes the life she has built. Then Khalid comes to visit her brother, and boy do the sparks fly. As soon as they met for the first time you can feel the sexual tension. Olivia doesn't want what Khalid offers even if it makes her an honest woman. I mean I would not buy it either who proposes marriage on the first night?<br />
<br />
Not getting his way, Khalid kidnaps Olivia and takes her to a remote location in Africa, again with the historical points of things they travel by boat over a period of time. If the story was modern they would have flown or traveled by private means. Once in Africa Khalid tries to seduce Olivia with everything he has, but nothing works. Over time they begin a friendship that leads to them giving into their own sexual needs. But can it ever be more?<br />
<br />
I liked the setting. being in a dessert in Africa no buildings, just a nomadic way of life, it was very different. I like Khalid a lot, there was just something so sexy about him. Maybe its the bad boy in him? I liked the way he really went out of his way to make Olivia happy and really did fall in love with her. I like the sub characters and what they brought to the story. The end to me was very predictable, but still a good ending.<br />
<br />
Like I said I was mixed on how I feel, while parts were really good some was just a turn off to me. <br />
<br />

He’s shy and not a fan of the pressure and spotlight that comes with his family name, or the title he was given at birth—the Whiskey Prince. Declan knows just what he wants and that is to take over the family dynasty, but when his father gives him an ultimatum, everything he’s worked for could come undone in the blink of an eye.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">With six months to get married, the reclusive Declan spots Amberlyn across a lake and instantly feels the need to know her. Soon, the two find themselves traveling down a path neither expected. However, like any road, there are bumps and side streets to derail them. Can Declan help find the pieces that will make Amberlyn whole again? And will Amberlyn stay or run when she learns of Declan’s deadline of marriage?</span></blockquote>

<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">High on life and all its luxuries, Brayden James has no intention of
slowing down. That is until his womanizing ways catch up with him and he
gets a much needed wake-up call. Just as he decides to clean up his
act, the ultimate temptation enters his life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When Mackenzie Reed meets Brayden, the attraction is instant and she
knows that together they could achieve the kind of career success she’s
always craved. But Mackenzie isn’t like most women. She has very good
reasons for keeping her heart locked up tight. For her, this isn’t about
love. This is about power.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sparks fly as Brayden and Mackenzie try to avoid the one thing neither
of them wanted. Each must choose between the life they’ve worked hard to
achieve and the one they never imagined. Will they come to the same
decision before it’s too late? Or will a hidden threat keep them apart?</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The playboy…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Khalid Francois Duïs is a man who isn’t afraid to take what he wants. And what he wants is Olivia Pierce. As his best friend’s sister, she was supposed to be off limits but Olivia quickly becomes a fever in his blood he simply can’t shake. He will do whatever it takes to have her with him and underneath him, even it means kidnapping.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The independent woman…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Olivia Pierce vows to never marry, instead choosing to focus on her career. But a clandestine encounter with Khalid’s threatens her resolve. Though her mind says no, her body screams yes! Her only option is to reject the the arrogant industrialist who believes a woman’s place is in his bed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When Olivia rejects Khalid’s advances, he takes matters in his own hands and whisks her away to placate his obsession. From the tempestuous passion of their first encounter, across stormy seas, to a beautiful oasis in Africa, Olivia becomes his prisoner and a slave to Khalid’s all-consuming seduction.</span></blockquote>

<br />
<br />
WOW! What a book, it's about deceit, revenge and the ultimate betrayal! I never expected the book to be what it was and was so not prepared for how it all ended.<br />
<br />
This book was a roller coaster out of control the moment it started. I had to hang on tight for fear I would fall off. Nina is an amazing strong woman who has overcome so much from her past, but did she really overcome it or just hide it down deep?<br />
<br />
Three men caught in her web of lies all destined to be destroyed. All love her but does she truely love anyone when she cant even love herself?<br />
<br />
This book had some really dark elements when in Nina's past but as a broken person myself I loved that E.K. really captured the emotions just right. With so many lies and thoughts going on at one time, this was a really well written story! <br />
<br />
Now the end was not at all what I saw coming and it really left me with my mouth hanging open and gasping at what the F just happened. I cant get the next book fast enough just to know where it goes from here! Not a love story, but yet a story of finding love when and where you least expect it... A book about overcoming what life throws at you and taking what you can out of what is left.<br />
<br />
Sometimes playing games with men can lead to disaster or it can lead to victory....<br />
<br />
5 out of 5 stars (cuz I cant give it more)<br />

IRON CROSS (The Dartmouth Cobras #6) </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Too many penalties may leave the goal vulnerable without the IRON CROSS.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After overcoming a potentially career-ending concussion, Tyler Vanek, Dartmouth Cobras’ first line forward, couldn’t be happier with his life. Until his boyhood hero-worship for Raif Zovko, a newly acquired player, develops into more. His mistress, ‘Chicklet’ encourages him to explore his feelings, and with her enjoyment of toying with the powerful Dom, Tyler figures it might be fun.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Laura Tallent, a dedicated officer with the Halifax PD, and Chicklet’s first sub, is tired of Tyler’s fun disrupting the structure of her world. Devotion to her mistress kept her silent for two years, but a horrible case and more proof that Tyler is the worst sub in existence has her wondering how much better life would be if he was someone else’s problem. Someone like Raif.
</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Raif won’t deny the lust he feels for Tyler, but he refuses to play games with a young man who’s questioning his sexuality—he won’t be an experimental phase for an unruly submissive. But when Laura draws him into a plan to remove Tyler from her poly relationship with Chicklet, his protective instincts take over. He partners with Chicklet to protect Tyler and dig deeper into the reasons behind Laura’s scheming. Chicklet clearly loves her boy, she won’t let him go. And before long, Raif realizes neither can he.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Blindsided by the discord in her household, Chicklet struggles to fulfill her subs’ needs as their careers throw challenges at them all. Control is slipping from her hands, but with Raif by her side, she prays her relationships can be saved. Salvaging the future means rebuilding with a new foundation. But the only way to make the base solid is for them all to work together. And with all the secrecy and lies, she has no idea where to start.

“Anyway, back to our negotiations. Face the bed and put your hands on the mattress.” With a sharp smack on his ass, Chicklet stepped away and went to grab the boxes off the bed.<br />
He watched her, then forced himself to follow her instructions without telling her how much he hated this position. He’d only ever been in this position for impact play, but unless it was for punishment, she usually had him so turned on he didn’t care what she did to him. He had a bad feeling about this.<br />
Her steady steps moved around the room. The curtains were thrown open and the glaring sun reminded him why drinking was such a bad idea no matter how much fun he had while throwing back the hard stuff. Tylenol had lessened the painful throb to a dull ache, but not enough to let him forget how stupid he’d been.<br />
“It’s been, what, about two years since we had this discussion?” Chicklet asked as she plugged something into the wall outlet beside the bed. “Head down, boy.”<br />
Staring at the silver design in the crimson microfiber comforter covering the bed, Tyler lifted his shoulders in a stiff shrug. “Guess so. But we were sitting at a table and you were writing stuff down then.”<br />
His own defensive tone surprised him. He moved to lift his head, but Chicklet’s hand pressed gently against it, keeping him in place. “I have no problem putting this in writing if you need it, Tyler.”<br />
“I don’t. I’m sorry, I’m not sure why I said that.”<br />
“Because you’re feeling exposed and you don’t know what I’m planning. I’ll let you know if your uncertainty verges on rudeness, don’t worry.” She ran her hand up and down his spine. “Try to relax.”<br />
“Be easier if I knew what you were gonna do to me.” Tyler bit the inside of his cheek as her hand drifted down, between his legs. She cupped his balls and he pressed his eyes shut. Wouldn’t take much for him to come, no matter how “uncertain” he was. His dick twitched as she closed her hand around his nutsack. The rest of him went perfectly still.<br />
He was always real polite, if not completely silent, when Chicklet had a firm grip on his balls.<br />
<i> Still can’t relax.</i> He didn’t know a man that could, restrained like this. Ropes wouldn’t be more effective.<br />
“Penetration is on your hard limits, along with blood play, needle play, and…” She cleared her throat, her voice hinting at amusement. “Any kind play that’s ‘like bathroom stuff.’”<br />
“Yeah. None of that’s changed.”<br />
She didn’t seem to hear him. “My hard limits included some of those, and some things you’d never even heard of at the time.”<br />
<i> Sounds good. I’m liking the status quo.</i> His heart was pounding because he wasn’t an idiot. If he let himself think about it, he could figure out what she’d consider changing. But he released a strangled laugh. “I get it. I got my nipples pierced, so maybe we could try…”<br />
He couldn’t even say it. Not even jokingly like he’d planned to.<br />
She chuckled, rolling his balls in her hand. “What could we try, my angel? Say it.”<br />
He shook his head.<br />
Her grip tightened.<br />
“I was kidding. I’ve seen it at the club and—”<br />
“It?”<br />
Shuddering, he managed to get the word out. “Needle play.”<br />
The grip on his nutsack loosened up and he inhaled deeply. The kiss Chicklet pressed between his shoulder blades as she released his balls calmed him some. But then he heard the distinct sound of a condom wrapper being ripped. He stiffened at a rubber snap. Gloves too?<br />
Chicklet made a soft, hushing sound. “Trust me, Tyler. Your limits haven’t changed.” When she paused, a loud buzzing filled the room. “Yet.”<br />
Her hand, covered with a snug rubber glove, was on his ass, spreading his cheeks. Some blunt, vibrating thing pressed against his anus and he jerked his hips away. A slap on his thigh warned him to stay put.<br />
His legs were kicked farther apart. The vibrations returned and he muffled a groan. Shit, this shouldn’t feel good, but it did. There were all kinds of nerves back there and they flared up, intense enough to drive him out of his mind. He bucked his hips back and fisted his hands in the comforter.<br />
“Fuck!” His muscles drew taut. He couldn’t take much more, the pleasure was like nothing he’d ever experienced. He trembled as the vibrations increased. No way would he come without permission, but he wasn’t sure he could stop himself. “Mistress, may I—”<br />
“Not yet. Take a breath and hold back for me.” Her voice was low, soothing, as though she wanted to help him follow her command. Without making it easier. She shifted and a bottle cap popped. Cool liquid spilled over his sensitive, fairly burning flesh, right around where the blunt vibrator pushed against him. The liquid warmed slightly, then more and more even as it dripped down his balls.<br />
Holy fuck, this was torture. Erotic torture, so fucking good, but…not enough. He groaned out loud as the vibrator pressed harder, slipping with the lube. The pressure on the space between his balls and his hole didn’t give him any relief. But then Chicklet’s fingers were there, the rubber covering them slick with lube, circling the ring of muscle.<br />
But going no further. She respected his hard limits.<br />
“Loosen your arms a little, my boy. And tell me—tell me how good it feels.”<br />
“It’s fucking amazing. I want…” He shouldn’t want her to go any further. Then again, who the fuck had decided that? Him? He panted as beads of sweat gathered above his lips, on his temples, making him slick all over. “Please!”<br />
“Tell me what you want, Tyler.” Chicklet kissed the small of his back, still teasing him with the tips of her fingers. “If you’re changing your hard limits, I need the words.”<br />
