Son of Victor Laurent and sole heir to the entire Laurent fortune built up from a few great grandfathers back in the Civil War times, I’ve been raised—groomed—to be the perfect Southern gentleman. Proper and full of self-control, a man who can keep hold on the vices that help me live my daily life of pure, fucking drudgery.</span></div>

A Libertine by trade, no flesh is barred from his roaming hands, no matter what lay betwixt their legs. Except when news of his lustful ways reaches his God-fearing parents, they strip him of title and cast him out. Alixandre’s now adrift and with an uncertain future, but an interesting proposition by Comte Phelipe Richelien promises to replace everything he lost with a new world of decadent pleasure like no other. But can Alixandre submit to his new Master? And will his guarded heart be laid bare by one spoken word—Alabaster.</span></div>

When he settled into marriage and family life with his wife, Meg, he set aside his dominant tendencies, happy to lead a vanilla life. With Meg’s newfound interest in BDSM it’s up to Barry to connect with his inner Dom and figure out how they can make the lifestyle work for them—even if it’s only in the bedroom.</span></div>

Except, what if this is his one chance to finally show Charlie what real love feels like?</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2d2f; font-family: "Noto Serif", serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Meg and Barry are regular secondary characters in my Wylde Shore series, they've been there since book one. As a happily married couple, the regular romance story rules - boy meets girl and falls in love - don't apply. That doesn't mean they can't have their own story and the Passion, Pleasure, Pain anthology offered that opportunity. </span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Earlier this year Doris O’Connor, author of BDSM and erotic fiction, passed away after valiantly fighting a rare form of cancer. For many of us in the writing community her loss was hard felt and, not having any other way to support her and her family we did the thing we knew best. We put pen to paper (so to speak) and came up with an anthology of D/s stories. Unfortunately, Doris didn’t get to see the finished project but was aware of it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All profits from the book will go to the O’Connor family to help them during this difficult time of adjusting to the loss of their wife and mother.</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47;">Kidnapped as a young girl, her psychic powers harnessed by a madman, Memory lives a caged and isolated existence…until she comes face-to-face with a wolf. Labelled an empath by her bad-tempered rescuer, Memory knows that her ‘gift’ is nothing so bright. It is a terrible darkness that means she will always be hunted.</span></div>

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and as we race toward New Year's Eve I hope you have a great time. I know I will :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
To help celebrate the holiday season I decided to discount my books. The sale started on Dec 21st to concludes Jan 4th. All my self published ebooks are reduced to 99 cents on most sites. So, if there’s a title you’ve been wanting to read and haven’t had the spare cash, now is your time to grab a bargain.</div>

I know the new year is a time for resolutions that we often end up breaking but for me it's a time to plan. So, here's what I'll be doing for the first half of the new year. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Two new releases are planned for early 2019. Meg and Barry from the Wylde Shore series have their own novella coming out in an anthology in April. The story is finished and edits will start early in 2019. I loved writing this book, Meg and Barry might only be minor characters in the Wylde Shore books but they’re a great couple and it was a pleasure bringing their story to life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
The second book set for release in the first half of 2019 is Restoring His Soul, Mercenary Heat 2. This is Nik’s story and as well as seeing him find love we also get to see how he overcomes the trauma of the teams last mission. For those of you who’ve read Tempting Marcus and Her Captured Heart you’ll remember the difficult emotional position Nik was in after being undercover for a year. He’s not out of danger yet, though. The past always has a way of rearing it’s ugly head.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
As for the second half of 2019 there will be another Hot in the City book coming out and if all goes to plan Mercenary Heat 3, but more on those another time.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Well that’s it for now, I’ll have more from the cave for you shortly.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; text-align: justify;">
I’m currently participating in an amazing event running from October 22nd to 26th. It’s called Foster an Author week and organized by three amazing women over on Facebook who decided a few years ago to hook authors up with bloggers in a mutual love and promotion fest.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; text-align: justify;">
This is my first year with the event but my blogger is a three year veteran. I asked Shirley, from Shirley’s bookshelf, to provide some information about how she became a book blogger and FB page owner where she promotes all things romance. Her page is amazing, I’ve already found some exciting new authors by checking out her posts. I hope after reading Shirley’s story you’ll visit her page and share some love by liking and following Shirley’s bookshelf.</div>

I fell in love with reading when I was in the fourth grade and read Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder and have spent my life reading whenever I had a free moment.</div>

I was intrigued and couldn’t wait to see what a male writer could give readers in a predominantly female dominated industry. I was not disappointed, and shared his work on my personal FB page. Of course, once you’ve purchased books on Amazon, they make suggestions for other authors/books you might also like. I came across a series by a western romance writer who included historical facts about her home state of Texas in her books and they greatly appealed to the history geek in me. And, because I wanted others to hear about her work, I shared on FB. Well, some friends and family weren’t appreciating some of the things I was sharing, and I can understand that, so in May of 2013 I set up my own page, Shirley’s Bookshelf, where I could share whatever I wanted and people who liked what they saw could follow me and my family and friends didn’t have “suggestive” images showing up in their newsfeed. Initially I simply shared what I was reading at the time, and cover reveals, releases and sales for authors I followed.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; text-align: justify;">
In 2014, I attended my first ever book signing, where I met new to me authors, and had myself added to their mailing lists. I started to get invites to their book release events, and it was then that I learned about bloggers who also coordinated events for authors, and I signed myself up for their mailing lists as well. 2014, into 2015 is when I began to share more than just authors whose work I’ve read, and it was then that my page grew from the maybe 200 followers I had at the time, to the 2700 I have now. For some, that’s not many, but I’m happy when I introduce even just one person to an author they had not heard of previously.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; text-align: justify;">
I have had the opportunity to attend at least three signings each year since 2015, and the authors whose work I share on my page has continued to grow. I have been privileged to meet authors from around the country (a few from outside the USA), and from many different walks of life. Some of them have become treasured friends, and I feel blessed that they’ve come into my life and that I’ve had experiences with them that I might not have had otherwise.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; text-align: justify;">
I really enjoy spreading the word about author’s work and I especially feel great satisfaction when I’ve introduced a reader to a “new to them” author and they find a new favorite writer.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; text-align: justify;">
Shirley resides in Central Pennsylvania, USA, with her husband and fur babies Sugar and Maya. She is the proud mom to a son and daughter, and recently celebrated the 1<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14.25px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">st</span>birthday of her grandson. Her Monday through Friday, nine to five job is working as the executive assistant to the department that provides services to students with special needs at an educational agency, and evenings are spent with her family and spreading the word about her favorite books and authors.</div>

Well, no longer. This week I finished writing the next novella in the series, Fueling the Fire. At least I think that’s what I’m calling it. Lol. With my other books I’ve never started talking about the book without having the title set in stone and without a definitive release date set. So, this is all a bit new and nerve racking for me. Anyway, I’m going with Fueling the Fire for now and the release date is TBA.</span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Fueling the Fire is John and Trudy’s story. As some of you may know they are the only couple who started the series already in a loving relationship. So how can I give them their own story you ask? Well, relationships aren’t perfect. We all go through ups and downs and if a couple isn’t careful the relationship can end if it’s not nurtured. Hence, this novella finds the couples marriage in a rut and if something doesn’t give, everything they’ve built over the last nineteen years could end.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That’s all the teaser you’re getting at this time. <img alt="🙂" class="emoji" draggable="false" scale="0" src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/svg/1f642.svg" style="background: none !important; border: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; box-sizing: inherit; display: inline !important; height: 1em !important; margin: 0px 0.07em !important; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: -0.1em !important; width: 1em !important;" /></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I’m releasing the first four novellas in the series as an e-bundle and it’s also going to print. Yep, you heard me correctly. Four novellas in one place and at a discounted price. So that’s more bang for your reader buck. If you haven’t read any of my Hot, Short, Sexy, Read range then this will be a great place to start.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The bundle releases on October 2nd and is currently available for pre-sale. Teaser and buy links are listed below.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the last four years Clay has felt more like a
babysitter than the elite mercenary Marcus hired. His current role within the
team of misfits is to ensure ex-crime boss, Adrian Hastings, remains protected
from enemies out to kill him. The teams current mission is about to jeopardize all
that. Clay has an additional charge to care for, Adrian’s daughter, and he has
the feeling this won’t be a happy family reunion. But introducing Ebony to her
dead father isn’t his only problem. Ebony hates him. A feeling he completely
understands considering he kidnapped her. Clay needs to somehow win her over
and not just for the mission’s sake. She’s the only woman he’s ever desired enough
to want to have a future with.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

escape the violent legacy of her family. With her past behind her, she’s
starting again and learning important lessons along the way. Her new awakening
began with the death of her father nearly five years ago and ended with a not
so amicable divorce from her loser husband. Unfortunately, her past won’t lay
down and die. Taken hostage by a deceptively good-looking man who she refuses
to trust, Ebony now faces three new challenges. Accepting the resurrection of a
man she once thought dead, remaining safe from her ex<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">—</span>who’s convinced she’s his ticket to a wealthy life<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">—</span>and fighting the attraction she
feels for the man who recently kidnapped her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #660000; text-indent: 0.3in;">Clay watched Hex exit the
van and approach the front of the house. He expected to hear screaming,
pounding noise, anything coming from inside the white box. After </span><span style="color: #660000; text-indent: 0.3in;">all,</span><span style="color: #660000; text-indent: 0.3in;"> Hex said she was awake. </span><span style="color: #660000; text-indent: 0.3in;">Instead,</span><span style="color: #660000; text-indent: 0.3in;"> he heard the crunch of the pebbled
driveway under Hex’s feet. Maybe Ebony exhausted herself and passed out again.
That would certainly make transferring her to the house a lot easier.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Neither man spoke until they
were nearer to each other. Discussion of plans needed privacy, away from
listening ears of both their captive and the <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">busybody</span>
sitting in the library.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I thought you said she was
awake?” Clay questioned.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“She is, I had to put on
loud music to drown out her screams and threats. <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Apparently,</span> if we let her <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">go,</span>
she won’t go to the cops.” <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Hex</span> chuckled,
“If only she knew.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yes, if only. The timing
wasn’t perfect. Under normal circumstances, they would have enlisted one of the
women to approach her, explain the danger and sequester her away to the safety
they provided. <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Instead,</span> they’d taken her
with no explanation. She must be terrified.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I’ve got the room ready,
Adrian’s in the library, and I grabbed a small dose of knockout. The last thing
I need is for him to hear her distress. I swear the guy’s turning boy scout on
me.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“So, the plan is to put her
to sleep again?” Hex asked.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It wasn’t ideal, convenient
more than anything. If <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">she</span> remained quiet
and didn’t fight <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">them,</span> <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">they</span> could walk <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">her</span>
inside and release <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">her</span> <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">into</span> the guest room. If she fought, then all
bets were off and sending her nigh-nigh was the only option. If anything, it
would give Clay a chance to untie her, make her comfortable, and give her time
to wake in a more pleasant and relaxed environment—not that she’d forget being
in the van and the fear it held. Still, she might be calmer to deal with on
waking.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I’ll play it by ear. Let’s
go get <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">her</span>,” Clay said.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">His concerns heightened as
they approached the van. How distressed was she? It was the last thing he
wanted for her. He’d hoped for a smoother transition into captive life. Still,
it was what it was, and nothing could change that.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He stopped dead when Hex
slid open the side door. Jesus, he’d said she was petite, but the woman tied up
before him was elfin-like—thin to the point of being bony. Given Adrian’s <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">size,</span> he’d expected the woman to be more
substantial than the waif before him. She wiggled backward—not that there was
anywhere for her to go—clearly attempting to avoid the silent danger he and Hex
posed. Clay climbed inside, hunching over her, and assessed the restraints.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I’m not here to hurt you,
Ebony. I’m just going to help you out of the van.” Clay attempted a calm
reassurance as he moved her legs forward slightly before releasing the thick
strap Hex used to secure her to the wall of the van. At least he’d taken care
she didn’t slide around during transport although she couldn’t have been
comfortable.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The temptation to remove the
hood gnawed at him, but if Adrian decided to spy on proceedings, Clay didn’t
want him to see her face. His heart constricted as she whimpered. How
terrifying must this be for such a tiny creature like <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">her?</span> Well, for anyone really. The need to take her inside and
comfort her stunned him. He wanted to reassure her she was safe, allow her
freedom from the binds that held her. She trembled as he gently stroked her
arm, contemplating his growing need to take care of her, to pamper away the
fear. The moment he’d laid eyes on her bound body,
something inside him clicked. This wasn’t just an assignment. She was something
else. Jesus, how soft was babysitting Adrian making him?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As he pulled her toward the
edge of the van, so he could step out and bundle her into his arms to carry her
inside, Ebony kicked into action. Literally. The scream she emitted caused
birds to take flight, and the quick upward thrust of her feet hit their target.
His gonads slammed upward, wedging with his aroused cock between hard boots and
his body.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">

<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He rolled to the side, the
release of freedom from the impact causing excruciating pain to permeate his
groin. His hands automatically reached to console his package, not that it
helped. Ebony flung herself upright and found ground, hopping forward, without
realizing she headed straight into the hard chest and <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">burly</span> arms of Hex.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“No, let me go.” Her
struggles were to no avail. <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Hex</span> wasn’t
letting go, <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">and</span> Ebony had just sealed her

emission of noise.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Fucking stab her, <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">man,</span>” <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Hex</span>
yelled over the din. “She’s giving me a headache.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As Clay managed to stand and

choice of words clearly making her believe she was about to die.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the last four years Clay has felt more like a babysitter than the elite mercenary Marcus hired. His current role within the team of misfits is to ensure ex-crime boss, Adrian Hastings, remains protected from enemies out to kill him. The teams current mission is about to jeopardize all that. Clay has an additional charge to care for, Adrian’s daughter, and he has the feeling this won’t be a happy family reunion. But introducing Ebony to her dead father isn’t his only problem. Ebony hates him. A feeling he completely understands considering he kidnapped her. Clay needs to somehow win her over and not just for the mission’s sake. She’s the only woman he’s ever desired enough to want to have a future with.</span><br />

man she once thought dead, remaining safe from her ex—who’s convinced she’s his ticket to a wealthy life—and fighting the attraction she

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Talk about a feisty little
pixie. Clay suspected some form of resistance the moment he noticed she was out
of the bed but that? No way. And those nails of hers—once he got out of here, he’d have to check how badly she’d
lacerated his ears.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As she stared up at him,
terror filling her expression, he momentarily regretted the position he held
her in. As he’d secured her beneath him, her back pressed onto the bed,
spreading her legs was an intentional maneuver. The last thing he needed was
for his sac to take another blow. It still ached from the last impact she’d
nailed him with.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The short, sharp, puffs of
breath she expelled drew his attention to the rise and fall of her chest. Her
nightshirt sat askew, the swell of flesh exposed. Her hair splayed out behind
her, her tongue moistening what he now noticed were lusciously biteable lips. Clay closed his eyes, taking in
a few steadying breaths of his own. He could do this.
Despite his cock swelling in encouragement for him to take advantage—seduce her
with a passionate kiss and embed himself inside her—he needed to remain
professional and composed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Are you going to rape me?”
Her question both startled and offended him. Assuming she’d registered his
erection as he landed on her, Clay eased his hips back.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“No! What the hell kind of
man do you think I am?” he snapped. “I’m here to protect you.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Well, you have a funny way
of showing it. You and your out-of-tune buddy <i>KIDNAPPED</i> <i>ME!”<o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div align="left" class="KIndleformat" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">She
had a point, and the fact she now started thrashing about underneath him again,
trying to free herself from his grip, only proved making her see sense regarding
the matter might be more difficult than he first thought. While he held onto
her like this, looming above her, she would never believe he meant her no harm.
Nor would she be in an emotionally sound position to listen to his explanation.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Beth has spent the last four years trying to tempt Marcus
into her bed so why decide now that it’s make or break with him? The excuses
have faded. She’s no longer too young, too innocent, or too naïve about the
job. She’s lead on their current assignment, success and failure rests with
her. Maybe that’s why she’s decided it’s also time to make one last ditched
attempt to secure the man she wants in her life. Marcus Delany, her boss and a
mercenary who claims to have no heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Not wanting Bethany isn’t the problem. Marcus wants her with
every fiber of his being, he just won’t allow himself to give into temptation
and have her. For Marcus it’s not about her age or experience, it’s not even
about his ability or desire to make Bethany his own. It’s about loss. If he
refuses to have her then he can’t lose her. His first life lesson as a
mercenary was a harsh one. Loving with all your heart makes you vulnerable.
That’s not what he wants to be. He’s been there, done that, and the T-shirt
wore out long ago.</span></div>

Stay inside, snuggle up under a blanket or in bed and read. That's when I'm not writing, of course. I also love a good sale, no matter what time of year it is.<br />
Combining my two loves, reading and a good bargain, I've decided to hold a mid-year madness sale.<br />
The sale is inspired by Smashwords Summer/Winter sale they hold every year. Since not all my books are listed with Smashwords, I decided to make July sale month no matter where my books are published. So here's all the info you need to know on what's available when and for how much.<br />

<h4>
Wylde Shore Trilogy</h4>
This series consists of three novels, each book can be read as a stand alone but to get the best read possible I suggest you read them in order so you don't miss out on character introductions and the overall pattern of the story arc. These books are exclusive to Amazon in mobi format.<br />

<h4>
Mercenary Heat Series</h4>
This series is a spin off of the Wylde Shore Trilogy. There are character cameos and mentions to the above series but it isn't necessary to read them in order to enjoy Marcus and his misfits who make up the character base of these books. Her Captured Heart ( A Mercenary Heat Novella) will be releasing at the end of the month for a discounted price so I decided to discount book 1, Tempting Marcus, for a limited time leading up to the release of Clay and Ebony's novella.<br />

<span style="color: #660000;">Today I have an exciting new release to share with you from a fellow Tirgearr Publishing author. It's Gumshoe Girl by Andi Ramos. So sit back and lets here a little from Andi before we get into the information about the book. Enjoy :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">I know where your mind went… and rightfully so, but I am referencing writing here. Explicitly writing those scenes I want to impact readers whether it be a funny scene, a suspense scene, an emotional scene or a love scene. I want the readers to feel what my characters feel, to laugh, to cry, to feel wanting. So, how do I make all those emotions come out on the computer screen? My secret is music. I have playlists for whatever mood I want to portray. Now I usually listen to music as I write, but it’s serene spa sounds, babbling brooks, ocean waves, with some instrumental in the background. For my mood setting scenes, I listen to intense music with impactful lyrics. I close my eyes and type away. I try to let the music take me to the place I need my characters to be, more often than not precisely I get what I need on the screen. I want to thank Jan for hosting me today to help introduce my debut novel, Gumshoe Girl.</span></div>

Sheagan O’Hare got more than she bargained for when her newly inherited detective agency lands its first case; a missing person, embezzlement, and murder. Sheagan’s out to prove she can hang with the pros, despite the constant reminder of her amateur status from an annoyingly attractive FBI agent, Colin 'Mac' MacEvine, who’s forced himself into her life.</div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Sheagan blinked back the sting in her eyes as sweat drizzled from her forehead. Her shoulders and forearms cried out as determination inched her body forward through the tin walls that framed her slender figure. The narrow shaft rendered her legs useless as they dragged behind her like dead weight. She made a vow to start working out as she approached her destination, the metal grate that looked down into the sweetheart suite of the Eliot Hotel.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">She shimmied her binoculars out of her bag and clutched them in her sweaty palms as she readied herself to delve into the world of private investigating. The friction of her movements caused her mahogany mane to cling to all the surfaces of her temporary confinement. Perched behind the filigree frame, peering like a caged animal, she was a mere 20 feet from her target. Her target? The Rat Bastard, who up until this very moment she’d called boyfriend.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">She wasn’t there to kill him, even though the thought had crossed her mind; no, she was there to catch him in the act. She suspected he had been cheating on her for some time, so proof would end her suspicion or the relationship. Spying on her significant other through an air-vent of a swanky hotel room was hardly a promising start to her so-called glamorous career as a private detective. But it snapped her back into the reality that her new chosen profession would often be messy and difficult.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">She peered through the grate and envied the spacious room below, but her viewing angle was no good for the task at hand. She could feel the heat in her cheeks rise along with her anger as she scanned the room and soaked in the extravagance–the hardwood tables, the Italian marble fireplace, the opulent sheen of the fabric on the overstuffed furniture that glimmered in the soft candlelight. The Rat Bastard was not known to overindulge on frivolous expenses, unless it was on her dime. Thoughts of killing him resurfaced.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">What is wrong with me? Why did I wait so long?</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">She immediately regretted the fleeting question. She knew why. The answer brought back the pain and significance of her father’s sudden death. He had been the only family she had left, and he was gone. All that was left behind was his detective agency. She had thought about giving it up, but she couldn’t; it was her only connection to him, to her family.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">She closed her eyes briefly, realizing that now she was facing more loss–even if he was a lying, cheating Rat Bastard.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">No! It’s better this way, stay focused.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">She choked in a breath and turned her attention back to the room. His secret love nest was finished with soothing tones on the walls and thick, plush carpeting.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">What is that on the end table?</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Her gaze was drawn to the bottle label as it bobbed upside down in the melting ice. She sharpened the focus of her binoculars, and her eyes widened in recognition.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Her cheeks flushed. Cristal, she scoffed. Who is this Bimbo, anyway?</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">As if she had room to criticize this girl’s intelligence, when Sheagan was the one sweating her makeup off in a four-by-four-foot air-duct.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Yeah, who’s the stupid one?</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">She heard passionate sounds coming from the right of the room and recognized his tone. Leaning sideways, Sheagan pressed her face to the grate, but her limited view revealed only a portion of the bed and unable to make out major details, like faces.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Crap, I can’t see anything. Damn! She needed to get a better look</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">As she shifted her weight, the metal walls started to reverberate and Sheagan stifled a gasp, willing the rumbling to cease. Her breathing became labored as the musty air stole the aroma of the sweet perfume wafting up waft from the suite below. She stilled her movements and did the only thing she could think of… nothing. Nothing but stare at the heap of blankets and wait.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Come on, bimbo, come up for air. I know he doesn’t last that long.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Her discomfort increased as the noise from their passion became more intense.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Ugh, that’s it, I’ve had it!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">She mashed her cheek and upper body against the grate.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">I just need a peek to confirm.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">She pressed harder, ogling the bed. Finally, she caught a tiny glimpse.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Just a little further.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">She pushed and heard a chirring sound, then a scraping. She froze in place, but the grate gave way with a creaking groan and crashed to the ground. Time stood still as Sheagan realized there was nothing between her and the floor except air.</span></div>

Her love for reading grew into a passion for writing. She dabbled with pen and paper for a long time and eventually stopped pushing her amusements aside and started developing those stories into novels. One of her favorite things to do is to hop into her motorhome with her family and write while traveling down the road as they journey to various destinations.</span></div>

<h3>
<span style="color: red;">Blurb</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">A mission is underway, and in the mercenary game, timing is
everything. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">Beth has spent the last four years trying to tempt Marcus
into her bed so why decide now that it’s make or break with him? The excuses
have faded. She’s no longer too young, too innocent, or too naïve about the
job. She’s lead on their current assignment, success and failure rests with
her. Maybe that’s why she’s decided it’s also time to make one last ditched
attempt to secure the man she wants in her life. Marcus Delany, her boss and a
mercenary who claims to have no heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">Not wanting Bethany isn’t the problem. Marcus wants her with
every fiber of his being, he just won’t allow himself to give into temptation
and have her. For Marcus it’s not about her age or experience, it’s not even
about his ability or desire to make Bethany his own. It’s about loss. If he
refuses to have her then he can’t lose her. His first life lesson as a
mercenary was a harsh one. Loving with all your heart makes you vulnerable.
That’s not what he wants to be. He’s been there, done that, and the T-shirt
wore out long ago.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<h3 style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></h3>
<h3 style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span style="color: red;">Excerpt</span></b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">Beth didn’t move as he came closer, remaining propped
against the door jamb, now hedged in by Marcus’ much larger frame. He towered
over her when she wasn’t in platforms, and, for some reason, tonight she felt
especially slight while standing this close to him. Bethany’s annoyance with
him remained even as he stroked the outer side of his fingers down the side of
her face so tenderly, she never wanted it to end.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">“It doesn’t matter, I was wrong to say it. I know you
think I’m too young.” Beth tried to remain composed as she replied, despite the
urge to unfold her arms and run her hands down his tightly muscled chest. “I’m
happy to do as you’ve asked. I’ll try to ignore my feelings for you. I’ll stop
the flirting and just be the diligent operative you want me to be. No more
bratty or cheeky Beth.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">“That’s not what I want, you’ve misunderstood.” Marcus
stepped closer, bracing one arm on the door jamb, forcing her to move over, her
back now pressed against the wall.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">“Then what do you want, Marcus?” Bethany stared up at
him, her irritation quickly dissipating. “I don’t think the situation is that
difficult to figure out, either you want me, or you don’t.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">Four years of not knowing, of making all kinds of
excuses for why Marcus didn’t take her up on any of the flirtatious advances
she’d made. Beth k<span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">new</span> her actions tempted
him. It was evident in the rare times he let his guard slip. His face softened,
his gaze became heated, roving over her body like a predator assessing his
prey. Beth knew he wanted her. She simply hadn’t hit on the right formula to
make him act.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">“It’s just that…” Another pause from the man who
usually articulated himself so well. “Jesus, Beth, I’m tired of attempting to
conceal how hard you make me with all this teasing. I swear, I lose
concentration as the blood rushes from my brain to relocate itself in my cock.”
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">Suddenly confused, Beth tried to process what he’d
just said. Was she hearing him correctly? Was that an admission that she turned
him on?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">“I make you hard?” Beth tried not to sound surprised
by his admission, her question more for clarification purposes than anything
else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In response, Marcus stepped
forward, eliminating any space between them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">“You know you do.” Beth felt his warm breath on the
side of her throat as he leaned down to whisper in her ear, “I’m constantly
hard <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">around</span> you.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">The raspy, guttural tone of his voice should have been
all the proof needed to indicate he was telling the truth, Marcus reinforced
the evidence by pressing his groin against her. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hard</i> wasn’t an exaggeration.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">“Don’t tease me with something I’ll never have,
Marcus.” Beth placed her hands on his chest with every intention of pushing him
away. “You don’t want me… <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">remember</span>? Never
going to happen, you said.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">Intent failed. Beth wanted to throw his words back at
him, resume her anger, push against his hard chest, and free herself from the
cage of his frame. <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Instead,</span> her voice
sounded as horny as his, her fingers massaged his pecs adoringly, not an ounce
of ire toward him remained.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">“I want you, Beth,” Marcus stated. “I just don’t know
how to have you.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">“You can have me any way you want me, all you have to
do is say the word.” Beth slipped her hand between them and stroked the
erection beneath his jeans, eliciting a hiss from him, which made her smile.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">In all the time they’d known
each other, Beth had never seen him appear as vulnerable as he did right
now—his heart opening to her, his body visibly aching for hers. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk511115701;"></span>
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">“I don’t know how to make this work,” he groaned,
making no attempt to sever their intimate connection. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">When his face brushed her cheek, he feathered tiny
kisses along her collarbone, up the column of her neck and toward her mouth.
Beth pressed her body against his in response as he closed in on her mouth.
Could this really be happening? His lips met hers, the softest of kisses at
first, firming as his tongue entered her mouth. Beth moaned, looping her arms
around his shoulders as he forced her against the wall, his knee slipping
between her thighs, driving her legs apart. Marcus’ erection pressed into her
hip, the movement of their bodies making the hardness more distinct.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">Every cell in Beth’s body responded to his desire. Her
cunt throbbed, moisture dampening the tiny G-string she wore. Her breasts ached
as hardened nipples rasped against her bra with the movement of their embrace.
He broke their kiss, gazing down at her with lust filled eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">“Tell me to stop.” His gaze drifted down her face, her
neck, stopping at her cleavage. “Please girl, tell me to stop.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">He looked torn. Need warring with some inner agony
clearly expressed on his face. What was keeping him from her? Why the hell
would he ask her to push him away when this was exactly what she wanted from
the moment she’d laid eyes on him? Bethany gave the only reply she was capable
of articulating.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">“Never.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<strong><span style="color: #660000;">Tempting Marcus - Blurb</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></strong>
<span style="color: #660000;">A mission is underway, and in the mercenary game, timing is everything.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">Beth has spent the last four years trying to tempt Marcus into her bed so why decide now that it’s make or break with him? The excuses have faded. She’s no longer to young, to innocent, or to naïve about the job. She’s lead on their current assignment, success and failure rests with her. Maybe that’s why she’s decided it’s also time to make one last ditched attempt to secure the man she wants in her life. Marcus Delany, her boss and a mercenary who claims to have no heart.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">Not wanting Bethany isn’t the problem. Marcus wants her with every fiber of his being, he just won’t allow himself to give into temptation and have her. For Marcus it’s not about her age or experience, it’s not even about his ability or desire to make Bethany his own. It’s about loss. If he refuses to have her then he can’t lose her. His first life lesson as a mercenary was a harsh one. Loving with all your heart makes you vulnerable. That’s not what he wants to be. He’s been there, done that, and the T-shirt wore out long ago.</span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;">Well it’s finally happening. The new Series begins on May 8th with the release of Tempting Marcus. I’m so excited to finally get Marcus out to readers. It’s been a long time coming and I thank you for your patience.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="color: #660000;">The Mercenary Heat series is a spin-off from the Wylde Shore books. Marcus and Bethany both appear as secondary character in the books but theirs is a very different world to the one presented in the Wylde Shore books. It’s harder, edgier and far more dangerous.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="color: #660000;">Each book is a romantic suspense based around Marcus Delaney and his band of mercenary misfits. They are hard-edged, alpha males, working as secret operatives for the government, taking on cases that no-one else has the stomach for. They’re all damaged in some way, much like Ash was in Switching Mercedes. The work has left them hardened, and jaded about life. I want Marcus and each of his men to find a tender heart to call their own, but the women will need to be tough enough to handle the demons each man faces.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="color: #660000;">I plan to have the first three books in the series out by the end of the year and the release schedule looks a little like this.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's release day for Switching Mercedes and what a journey it's been. I've been in a rewrite frenzy since receiving the rights back to this series at the end of 2017. Rewriting each book, redoing covers, new edits and getting each book back out there has been a frustration and a joy. Finally all three are done, and hopefully the stories are better than ever. If you're a new fan to the series, welcome aboard. If you've been with me since the beginning, thank you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today's release is monumental for me as it means that my new series, a spin off of this one, is now able to go ahead. The Mercenary Heat series launches on May 1st with Tempting Marcus. But more on that later.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's time to highlight Mercedes and her two alluring men. I hope you enjoy perusing the blurb, tempting teasers and two excerpts.</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Blurb</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Three dominant wills clash in this latest romantic suspense novel by Jan Graham.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mercedes Harris-Shore is a woman who knows her own mind, she’s built a thriving business, never asked anyone for help and has no intention of doing so. That is, until life takes a dangerous turn and she lands firmly in the sights of a serial killer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Zane Reynolds has pursued the headstrong Mercedes for years with little to show for it. If he could forget about her then life would be a lot easier, but his heart wants what it wants. The fact he hasn’t told her the complete truth about his family and past shouldn’t make a difference, especially now that she needs his help to remain alive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In times of crisis like this, the last thing either of them needs is the complication of Zane’s identical twin stepping into the picture, or do they?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ash Reynolds is a mercenary living on the fringe of society. His twin left the shadowy world Ash inhabits years ago to forge a normal life, and it’s going well, until the woman he loves is endangered. Ash knows he’s the man to protect Mercedes, it’s what he does —save the innocent and punish the wicked. He isn’t the sort of man a woman should fall in love with though, and he knows it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<h3>
<b><i><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Excerpt 1</span></i></b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A commotion taking place on the far side of the taped-off area of the
house interrupted her thoughts. The yellow tape began to flap in the breeze,
and officers tried to block access to the scene as a Hercules of Scandinavian
appearance barreled his way through their defenses. Mercedes smiled when she
heard her name.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Where is she? Mercedes Harris-Shore, I demand to see her <i>now</i>.” His command boomed out for all to
hear in a deep baritone that sent an erotic chill down her spine. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Do you know him? Should I lock the ambulance doors or tell him you’re
over here? He seems really…terrifying. Is he your boyfriend or something?” She
nearly lost track of the young ambulance officer’s rapidly fired questions, too
intrigued by the circus unfolding before them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Yes, he’s something.” Mercedes nearly laughed at the terrified look on
the medic’s face. “Oh, and don’t worry, we’re not in any danger.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Zane reminded her of a Viking. Tall with the broadest shoulders of any
man she knew. She watched as muscles rippled beneath the tight black T-shirt he
wore, as he swatted uniformed officers away like they were flies. His
shoulder-length blond hair, usually neatly combed, swung freely around his
face, his strong, square jaw set firm with dogged determination as he worked
his way to the front steps of the house, attempting to get inside. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Would you like me to tell him you’re over here?” the medic asked, an
edge of concern in his tone as they watched Zane grab an officer from the front
line of defense, lifting him off his feet with ease.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Where. Is. She?” The larger-than-average uniformed officer hung in the
air like a rag doll at the mercy of a petulant toddler.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“No, he’ll find me soon enough. He always does.” Mercedes watched the
action with delight. Not only was he divine to look at, but he knew how to make
her laugh. Even when he was being an infuriating jerk she found him amusing. If
he’d just stop being so dominantly determined that she be his submissive then
he’d be the perfect man for her. After all, what woman wouldn’t want a sexy
bad-boy-Viking to come to her rescue? It was certainly better than any puny
Prince Charming or a clunky knight in shining armor. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Put that officer down, Zane Reynolds, before one of my guys shoots
you.” Christian’s voice matched Zane’s for volume as he stepped through the
doorway and onto the veranda. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Excellent, Christian Shore, just the man to give me the answers I
need.” Zane dropped the young policeman before walking toward her brother.
“Where is Mercedes?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Once you’ve assured yourself my sister is fine I want you back over
here explaining exactly how you found out she was here.” Christian spoke in his
don’t-fuck-with-me tone as he pointed toward the ambulance. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It didn’t appear Zane even heard what her brother said because the
moment their gazes met Zane stalked toward her, a deep frown creasing his
normally relaxed brow.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Why are you in an ambulance—are you injured?” The ambulance dipped
under his weight as he climbed in beside her, meticulously eyeing her for
injuries. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I’m fine. I got upset when I found out what happened to Samantha, so
Christian suggested I sit with the medic.” She glared over at the young medic
hoping he read the tell-this-guy-nothing look she flashed him. The last thing
she needed was for Zane to discover she’d fainted. She maintained a case of
show no weakness in relation to him, and Mercedes wanted to keep it that way. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In less time than it took to blink, Mercedes found herself perched on
Zane’s lap, pressed firmly against his hard chest, his strong arms wrapped
around her like a protective shield. Her body warmed instantly, unaware she’d
been cold. Frazzled nerves calmed as she rested her head against his chest
listening to the steady rhythm of his heart. She wanted to wrap her arms around
him in return, resting in the cocoon of safety he’d covered her in, but that
wasn’t how they rolled.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">

His rich, smooth voice and understanding words soothed her weary nerves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">

comfort her after all she’d witnessed today? How did he always know when to
show up, cheering her day, offering support, or annoying the shit out of her
then making her laugh? More importantly, why did she always push him away? <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk507147313">Her fingers rested on the leather belt at his waist. All
she had to do was wrap her arms around him, accepting the embrace. <o:p></o:p></a></span></span></div>

it—like he always did. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">

say <i>tell me</i> what you need me to do or
<i>we’ll</i> work this out <i>together.</i> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">

ago she’d considered reaching around his waist to hold him, now pushed against
him, as she tried to free herself from his arms. “When will you get it around
your pea-sized brain that I don’t need you to take care of anything? Men! Just
because you could overpower me in a minute doesn’t mean I’m a weakling needing
your assistance. Oh, and just so we’re clear, I am <i>not</i> your sweetheart.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">

with wry amusement as she berated him. He always did that, and it made her even
more annoyed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">

He climbed out of the back of the ambulance, offering her his hand to help her
down. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">

his hand then reached out accepting the offering. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">

hand to his lips, kissing her knuckles. “It would destroy me if anything
happened to you, so I’ll always protect you…sweetheart.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">

sweetheart.” Mercedes poked her finger into Zane’s chest, emphasizing each word
as she did. The idiot just laughed at her, which infuriated her more than the
fact he hadn’t listened the first time she’d said the words.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">

walking over to Christian, leaving her standing by the ambulance, the chill of
being alone settling into her bones once more. She hated when Zane was right.
As her mother constantly told her, Zane Reynolds was a good catch, and Mercedes
shouldn’t let him get away. She watched him talking to her brother, answering
the question once again swirling through her mind. What sort of woman wouldn’t
want a bad-boy Viking like Zane Reynolds in her life? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mercedes
walked to the door ready to receive yet another bunch of flowers. Why death and
floral arrangements went hand in hand she couldn’t fathom. Nor could she
comprehend people’s need to send the flowers to her, although since Samantha
had no family Mercedes probably constituted the closest thing to a parent the
young woman had. She blinked her surprise as her mind tried to compute the
vision before her. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A large
furry teddy bear with the most arrogant looking face of any stuffed creature
she’d seen stared at her. A white card hung from the bright purple ribbon
around its neck. The envelope read ‘<i>For
my Sweetheart’</i>. Mercedes frowned and glared at the grumpy-faced creature,
deciding whether to slam the door in its face. The bear initially appeared to
be shaking, however, on further inspection, she noticed a smallish man with a
terrified look on his face standing behind it. Either the guy had a serious
case of Parkinson’s disease or he was still recovering from meeting Zane
Reynolds. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I have a
delivery for M…Miss H…Harris S…Shore?” Parkinson’s and a stutter, this guy
really had his back to the wall. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I don’t
want it.” Mercedes kept her voice firm. The courier lowered the bear and looked
pleadingly over its head. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“He said
you’d say that and informed me to tell you that you have to accept his gift or
else. He also said he’d know if I didn’t give it to you.” The man looked around
the open space of her front yard, apparently checking to see if someone were
spying on them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Really?”
What was Zane playing at? “Here’s an idea. Take the bear with you, drop it in a
charity bin, and when he calls to see if the delivery went okay, tell him I
said thanks.” The courier started shaking his head before she finished
speaking. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“No, he
said you’d suggest something like that and I’m to tell you…oh god…” The man
winced slightly. “He said… ‘Deception is unbecoming in a lady.’ Please take the
bear, Miss.” The little man held the bear out toward her, a pained expression
still on his face. What had that big oaf done to make this guy so afraid? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I’m
sorry if he scared you but take it back to him, I really don’t—” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .3in;">

if you didn’t take the bear from me then he’d come around here and deliver it
himself.” The words rushed out as he reaffirmed his desire to be rid of the
animal by thrusting it closer toward her.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .3in;">

he was absent Zane was still persistently annoying. She snatched the bear from
the courier. “Okay, I have the bear, now go and find somewhere to have a stiff
drink and calm down.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .3in;">

there’s one more thing.” Mercedes leaned against the doorjamb, hugging the bear
to her side, and glared at the annoying servant of the devil. She didn’t notice
the man’s cell phone until it was too late. The clicking noise her only
indication he’d taken a picture. The little man turned on his heels and bolted
for the street yelling his parting remark. “He wanted a photo as proof I gave it
to you. Thank you.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">A short-lived scandal that had made her the darling of the BDSM
community did little to damage her status as America's sweetheart. However, her
career starring in romantic comedies hasn't given her any insights into
figuring out her own love life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Amazon bestselling author
Juliet Braddock’s first efforts in creative writing came long before she
learned to put crayon to paper. In fact,
she began spinning stories in her head nearly as soon as she could form
complete sentences. As long as she can
remember, she’d always created sagas about imaginary friends, family members and pop culture icons, and kept
everyone around her entertained with her witty—but often very tall—tales.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For her sixth Christmas, Juliet’s mother got her a child’s
typewriter to preserve all of those creative thoughts filling her head, but she
quickly switched to ball point pens and notebooks when the ribbon ran dry. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Most of Juliet’s early attempts at writing romance focused on
members of Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet or young leading men on
Broadway. However, as she matured as a
writer, she decided that it was just as much fun to create her own romantic
heroes and heroines.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At an early age, she also developed a love for big cities,
and the tallest of skyscrapers were never high enough for her. Juliet’s wanderlust would eventually lure her
to New York, a city she often visited during her formative years, and her love
affair with Manhattan began. She’d
promised herself that one day she would return for good. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

connoisseur, but she can give a few good restaurant recommendations if you’re
in the city. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

New York that’s so rich in culture and so very vibrant. Every neighborhood has
its own story to tell,” Juliet says. “I
often do my best plotting on the subway, just observing the lives unfolding
around me. New York truly has a billion
stories nestled between the skyscrapers.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mercedes Harris-Shore is a woman who knows her own mind, she’s built a thriving business, never asked anyone for help and has no intention of doing so. That is, until life takes a dangerous turn and she lands firmly in the sights of a serial killer. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zane Reynolds has pursued the headstrong Mercedes for years with little to show for it. If he could forget about her then life would be a lot easier, but his heart wants what it wants. The fact he hasn’t told her the complete truth about his family and past shouldn’t make a difference, especially now that she needs his help to remain alive. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In times of crisis like this, the last thing either of them needs is the complication of Zane’s identical twin stepping into the picture, or do they? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ash Reynolds is a mercenary living on the fringe of society. His twin left the shadowy world Ash inhabits years ago to forge a normal life, and it’s going well, until the woman he loves is endangered. Ash knows he’s the man to protect Mercedes, it’s what he does —save the innocent and punish the wicked. He isn’t the sort of man a woman should fall in love with though, and he knows it.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Rhia McCabe hid under a religious veil for years. One determined choice changed all that. Disheartened with the world, and having lost it all—her faith, her friends, her home—she
must rebuild her life from the ground up. That’s easier said than done. Life isn’t the peaceful journey she imagined it would be, and her heart has led her into some very dangerous territory. Will Rhia survive long enough to enjoy her newfound freedoms, or will falling for a strong, dominant man see her losing more than either of them imagined?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Steve Jax hates games, especially when they involve friends trying to interfere in his life. He’d built a decent existence for himself since his wife Kathy died, and saw no reason to change
anything. Until now. He thought the danger his job imposed on those he loved was all in the past, giving him the option to move on and love again. How wrong had he been? Ghosts from four years ago have resurfaced, along with a new adversary that’s threatening the only woman he’s risked letting into his heart in years. He may have sworn he’d never endanger another lover – but life isn’t perfect, and neither is he. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steve groaned and resisted the urge to open his eyes. He shivered, the chill in his bones becoming more evident with each second of wakefulness. He peeked out between crusty lashes. The sky exposed a hint of the coming day, the sunrise a glimmer of pink tinting the shoreline.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He sat up. Waves pounded in unison with the throb of his head, as surfers danced on the crest of waves before him. Unlike the pictures inside his head, the scene contained a peacefulness that he envied. Kathy had died a month ago. Treatment failed. They said he’d have her for a maximum of two years—she’d lasted less than one. He’d dealt with death before—at work, and when his parents had died—this was different. Kathy took a large piece of him with her, she’d left with his heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steve stood on shaky legs, gathered the empty bottle of Jack Daniels nestled into the sand and began the long walk up the hill to the house he’d shared with his beautiful wife, the home he now hated because she wasn’t in it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He made it to the stairs leading up to the place he’d once called home but couldn’t go any further, so he sat down and contemplated his options. Go inside to the constant reminder of what he’d lost, or sit with the step cooling his butt. Option two it was.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steve toyed with the empty bottle knowing he’d sent the companies’ profits into overdrive over the last four weeks. He had to stop, get back to the man he’d once been, but didn’t know how.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Why haven’t you been answering your phone? I’ve been worried.” Steve glanced up to see his sister, Angel, staring back at him with a worried annoyance filling her expression.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She took the bottle from him and delivered it to the trash.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Where’s your phone, Steve?” She asked.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“No idea.” He replied, wondering why she’d even bothered to come.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He wanted to appreciate the concern but couldn’t summon the energy to do so. Angel retrieved her mobile phone from her bag and called a number, staring at him with one raised brow, as his phone betrayingly responded from inside his pocket.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Busted.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Get up and get inside the house.” Angel said, moving toward him and looking less than impressed. “I need coffee and from the look of you, well, you get the drift.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If he didn’t want her to man handle him to get him inside—and she would—then he had to move. Standing slowly, he turned and led the way, fumbling through his pockets to retrieve his key. Movement hurt, his body aching from spending yet another night sleeping anywhere but the bed he’d shared with his wife. Although, last night, passed out drunk in the sand at his local beach, had set a new low for him. He saw no end in sight to the depths of his despair. Lost. That’s what he was without Kathy, and he had no incentive to find himself. What was the point?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Angel hustled him into the shower, threatening to wash him herself if he didn’t comply. He suddenly discovered that there were limits to the depths of humiliation he’d allow, and his little sister showering him was one of them. As he watched the traces of sand he’d washed from his hair and other crevasses disappear down the drain, he wondered where he’d end up. He dried himself and dressed in the clothes Angel had found and placed on the bathroom sink. Surprisingly they were clean. He didn’t think he had any of those left.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He wandered out into the living room to the smell of breakfast and saw the pot of strong coffee Angel had made waiting for him on the dining table. She walked in just as he sat down and placed the feast of bacon, sausage, eggs, and toast in front of him. He wasn’t hungry but ate it anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You’re coming back to the Highlands with me. I can’t stand the thought of you all alone up here slowly killing yourself.” Angel stated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He wouldn’t argue, because there was no point. For someone a good foot shorter than him, his sister was a formidable woman. Once she set her mind to something then changing it took some effort. That was something Steve didn’t have, and at least if he was in a different location, the reminders of Kathy wouldn’t plague him every minute of the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“So, you’d rather me have an audience while I slowly kill myself?” He raised his gaze to look at her, Angel met him with a steely glare. Clearly, his dry attempt at wit didn’t amuse her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As he finished eating, Angel emerged from the back of the house carrying a duffel bag and suitcase. She plopped them near the door.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Christian and Daniel will collect your Harley this afternoon and bring it back to the house. You have a meeting with Trevor next week, who, in case you’re wondering, is also worried about you. That gives you seven days to try and get your head together and make some decisions about what you’re going to do.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He already knew what he was going to do. Sulk, drink and continue to feel sorry for himself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Is this where you give me the talk about we all lost Kathy, and that I’m not the only one to miss her, that everyone is grieving, but I’m the only one letting it destroy me?” He asked.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Angel crouched down next to him. The compassion and sadness in her eyes boring into his empty soul.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I can’t even imagine the pain you feel right now. All I can see is the result of it and feel the fear that I might lose you because of it. I want to help you, but I don’t know how, none of your friends do. That’s why I’m taking you home with me. I want you to know that, despite losing Kathy, there is still hope. You <em>are loved</em>, Steve Jax, and I will <em>not</em> lose you. I will not let you fall any further down this rabbit hole. So, pick up those bags and let’s go home.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As he drudged out of the house—for what he knew was the last time—walking behind the sister he’d not long known, he told himself he was lucky not to be going through this alone. He had an Angel to help him pick up the pieces. The sun made his eyes water as he headed to the car, at least that’s what he told himself. He wished he knew where his shades were, so he could cover the evidence of his grief, as they drove away, heading toward a different life.</div>

<h1 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Excerpt 2</span></h1>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Evening, you naughty little hell raiser.” He wanted to take the words back the moment the woman turned around to face him. God, if the look of horror on her face wasn’t enough, the scream she let out induced him to take a step back. Steve usually meant what he said, but currently he was feeling a little regretful at his inappropriate choice of words.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How wrong had he been? The stunning black-haired beauty before him had the most gorgeous eyes. Crystal clear and distinctly gray in color, they revealed just a tiny hint of blue, as they sparkled in the moonlight. When he’d approached, she’d been standing with her back to him, and from the outfit the woman wore and the long dark hair, he had no reason to believe it wasn’t young Beth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though the woman looking at him in terror reminded Steve of a bunny caught in the headlights, she was still stunning. One thing concerned him though. If she kept backing away from him, she’d end up falling into the garden bed at the side of the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Sorry, I thought you were someone else,” Steve quickly apologized relieved that his words stopped her reversing action. “It was a totally inappropriate greeting, and I didn’t mean to scare you.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He had no idea who she was, but damn she was a fine specimen of a woman. Maybe he should have let her fall in the garden. Then he could have lifted her up, angled her across his lap and assisted to dust the dirt off that perfectly shaped butt of hers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Who did you think I was?” For a woman who looked as startled as she did, there was only a slight waiver to her voice when she spoke.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though she was clearly attempting to give the impression of a confidant woman, her body told a different story. Her breasts heaved from accelerated breathing, and when she made eye contact, she blushed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I thought you were Bethany Reid, a friend’s daughter, but obviously not…no belly ring.” Steve smiled and indicated toward her stomach. “By the way, I’m Steve Jax.” Steve watched the blush in her cheeks deepen as he motioned to her belly button, and then held out his hand in greeting. She took his hand cautiously and gave a nervous smile in return.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Rhiannon McCabe…everyone calls me Rhia.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Touching her hand sent a surge through Steve’s body. What was that? It obviously wasn’t just something he experienced because Rhia quickly pulled her hand free, an expression of confusion on her face.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“How do you know my niece has a belly piercing?” She asked.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Everyone in town knows she has a belly ring. She rarely covers it up. In case you’re wondering, Barry and Meg know I call her a hell raiser. They agree with my assessment.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steve watched Rhia thoughtfully. <em>This </em>was the nun? Surely not. She was too shapely, too young, and too pretty. Hell, she was too damn sexy to have ever been a nun. He couldn’t decide if the fact he was growing hard under his jeans would confirm his place in hell or not. A smile edged at his lips as Rhia adjusted her top, so he couldn’t see her stomach, the downward pull of the shirt revealing tightly budded nipples underneath. Maybe he wasn’t the only one in this conversation having impure thoughts. His cock pulsed harder as he thought of a befitting punishment for a nun with naughty thoughts racing through her mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His black, heavy weighted leather flogger sprang to mind. He imagined her cuffed to the St. Andrew’s cross he kept stored in his garage, him behind her, wielding the first lash of leather tails against her skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His cock stiffened and pressed uncomfortably against his denims. Steve needed to get his thoughts under control. If he didn’t, Rhia would be in all sorts of trouble. Besides, he got the distinct impression she was a little uncomfortable being this close to him. She fidgeted with her clothing some more. Maybe she simply felt exposed in that snug little PJ set…that damn-fine, hug-her-body-like-a-glove, little PJ set.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Stop it, you Neanderthal, she used to be a nun.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steve cleared his throat and addressed the issue at hand. Well, one of them. There was nothing he could do about his erection at this moment in time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Amazon bestselling author
Juliet Braddock’s first efforts in creative writing came long before she
learned to put crayon to paper. In fact,
she began spinning stories in her head nearly as soon as she could form
complete sentences. As long as she can
remember, she’d always created sagas about imaginary friends, family members and pop culture icons, and kept
everyone around her entertained with her witty—but often very tall—tales.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For her sixth Christmas, Juliet’s mother got her a child’s
typewriter to preserve all of those creative thoughts filling her head, but she
quickly switched to ball point pens and notebooks when the ribbon ran dry. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Most of Juliet’s early attempts at writing romance focused on
members of Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet or young leading men on
Broadway. However, as she matured as a
writer, she decided that it was just as much fun to create her own romantic
heroes and heroines.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At an early age, she also developed a love for big cities,
and the tallest of skyscrapers were never high enough for her. Juliet’s wanderlust would eventually lure her
to New York, a city she often visited during her formative years, and her love
affair with Manhattan began. She’d
promised herself that one day she would return for good. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Juliet’s passion for writing and for big cities converged,
and after graduating with a degree in Journalism, she decided to set out on a
journey to find her heart…just where she’d left it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the side, she’s indulged in international travel, theater and art. A wine and food buff, she’s by no means a
connoisseur, but she can give a few good restaurant recommendations if you’re
in the city. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“There’s something so inspiring about living in a city like
New York that’s so rich in culture and so very vibrant. Every neighborhood has
its own story to tell,” Juliet says. “I
often do my best plotting on the subway, just observing the lives unfolding
around me. New York truly has a billion
stories nestled between the skyscrapers.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

stories to share with my readers, I will continue.”</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">BLEMISHED is a standalone erotic
romance that explores the story of unlikely lovers who find they have more in
common than what’s on the surface. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Gavin Fletcher is an advertising
executive on the rise in Chicago, and Chloe’s a homeless artist. They meet on a

they love to indulge in kink—and there are many sizzling scenes in
BLEMISHED—they overcome the daily obstacles that life presents. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<i><span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Before we get into the interview I need to ask about your
sight. As your regular readers would know, you recently went legally blind,
which must have been devastating. How has that affected you, not only
personally, but as a writer?</span><span style="color: #660000;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">The night of January 13, 2017
changed my life forever. For about four or five days, my vision blurred, and I
tried to ignore it. I thought it would go away. But I started to panic and ran
to the eye doctor. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">After a battery of tests and
eyedrops, my ophthalmologist rushed me to the Emergency Room, and I was
diagnosed with Pseudotumor Cerebri, or Hydrocephalus. I had water on the brain
that was pressing against my optic nerves. The damage was so severe that they
told me that I might not regain all of my sight.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">In the first three months of the
year, I was in the hospital more than I was at home. I had two eye surgeries,
two spinal taps and brain surgery. And then, I had the final diagnosis after my
brain surgery. I was diagnosed as legally blind.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">I was right in the middle of my
first solid edit of BLEMISHED when I lost my sight. The hardest thing I had to
do was to pull the pre-order from Amazon. At that point, I didn’t know if I’d
ever write again.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">After my brain surgery, I allowed
myself to wallow in pity for a couple of weeks. However, I realized that
through technology—and my own will—I had to put those Big Girl Panties on, one
leg at a time, and get my life back together.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">I got software for the
vision-impaired that magnifies the computer screen, and I bought a large
monitor for my desktop. I adapted my drafts with big bold fonts that I could
see. I hired a PA. And I started mobility training with the white cane for the
blind.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">The editing process takes me
longer now, but I’m getting faster. Initially, it was a matter of learning the
software for the vision-impaired. I just have to know to budget extra time into
my publishing schedule. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">My editor has been a tremendous
help along the way. For example, I can’t see details on some photographs. I
send them to her if I need a description of the scene, and she tells me about
the colors and nuances I can no longer recognize with my own eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">My cover designer has also been
so wonderful. She understands my thought process and how I want the books to
look, but she’s also very sympathetic to my blindness. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Really, I just sought out the
tools and team that would make it possible for me to continue my career as an
author. I’m already halfway finished with my next book—a kinky, romantic comedy
titled SMITTEN. After the year I’ve had, I had to write something light.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

favorite?</span></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">My first four books are part of the Manhattan
Bound Series, which was inspired by my love for New York and Broadway. The
books feature Maxine Kirk, a young theater publicist who’s new to New York and
to kink, and her actor/Dom lover, Drew McKenzie. Maxine and Drew explore her foray
into BDSM against the backdrop of Broadway. (WEAKENED, WRAPPED, KNOTTED and
BOUND.) I also have a novella, “Professor Knows Best,” that I’ve re-released.
And SMITTEN, my kinky rom-com, will be out in March 2018.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">I think an author’s favorite book is always
the one they’ve just written, and BLEMISHED is special to me on many levels. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">I just loved writing Gavin and Chloe. They’re
just two normal people, brought together by extenuating circumstances. They
have their flaws, but together, they sizzle. I had fun writing them, and I hope
readers fall in love with them just as I did. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">BLEMISHED is also the book I was writing when
I lost my vision. Throughout everything, writing and editing Gavin and Chloe’s
story brought me comfort and hope. By immersing myself in the characters and
plot, I forgot about my own pain and problems. I took my time with the edit and
getting the marketing together, but I proved to myself that all was not lost in
my writing career. In a way, this book—and my neuro-ophthalmologist—saved my
life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">I used to obsess over reviews until I was
stuck in the hospital without my laptop this year. And when I came home, I
realized how freeing that was, so I stopped reading them—all of them—cold
turkey.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">It’s not that I don’t care about reviews. I
do. And my editor reads them for me to let me know if there’s anything I should
see. But I realized that life is too short to worry about someone else’s
negativity. I write for myself, and I write for the readers I’ve come to know
over the last few years. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Nope! I write every single day. And
sometimes, it’s tough to spit the words out, but that’s why we edit. I don’t
believe in the proverbial “muse” or losing inspiration. When you’re a writer,
that’s your job. Readers count on you to deliver. If it’s one paragraph at a
time, you’re working through the manuscript. You’ll get it down, and you’ll get
it done.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Probably Science Fiction. My brain just

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Just write. Worry about the editing later.
But put the words down on the page and finish the book. Also, find someone you
really trust to read for you. You don’t want someone who is just going to tell
you how wonderful the book is; you need someone who can provide thoughtful
insight into your plot and characters. My editor was actually one of my first
readers. She now knows my writing better than I do. Her feedback is crucial to
my final manuscript. She’ll let me know when something is out of place, and I
really think about her commentary as I move along with each book. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">For instance, I wanted to go to my dear
friend’s birthday party over the summer. We’d both had some health scares this
year, and it had been a while since I’d visited him. So I got on the train by
myself and made the eight-hour journey. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I’d meet Duran Duran. Twelve years later, I did just that. I also promised
myself that I’d move to New York, and I did that, too. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">I’ve been lucky that I’ve had the chance to
pursue my dreams – in my career, in my travels and in my lifestyle. There are
still things I want to do and accomplish, but I know I’ll get around to them. So
I really don’t have a Bucket List.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">A very smart, dark
sense of humor. I see the humor in everything – starting with my own chaotic
life. As I tell everyone, I’m the first person to crack a blind joke. And
before you can laugh at anything else, you have to laugh at yourself first. <o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">I love to read. Right now, unfortunately, I’m not reading

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">My favorite book, though, is a very dark erotic suspense called <i>Topping from Below</i> by Laura Reese. I

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">This whole year really changed my way of thinking. I would
probably work as a counselor to the blind. Losing sight isn’t a death sentence,
and you can still live a full life. That’s what I’d want to portray to others
who are enduring similar situations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">As my friends and
readers ALL know, I have a mad crush on British actor James Norton. He’s on the
rise with the remake of one of my favorite films, “Flatliners,” and he stars on
PBS in “Grantchester. Those true-blue eyes…those luscious, kissable lips…and
those ginger waves. Sigh. He truly makes me swoon. In BLEMISHED, Gavin Fletcher
may have been based on him. Loosely. Sorta. Yeah…<o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></div>

<strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">I bite my nails. When

<strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: inherit;">Above and beyond
everything, I look at sense of humor first. What makes a person laugh is the
key to their soul. You get a sense of intelligence, how far they’ll push things

a second date. <o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></div>

entertaining the executives from our Tokyo office. Coincidentally, they
actually banned the sale of shark fin soup in New York a few years later. Not
sure where the law stands now, but I had it before the ban.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

She knew all of our secrets. She kept us busy, and she kept our confidence. And
we loved her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
