Meet Baya and Bryson as well as the rest of the Whitney Briggs U. crew in the first story in the 3:AM Kisses series. Baya is new on campus and wet behind the ears. Bryson is a campus playboy. But Baya may just be the girl to make him abandon the “bed” (in their case door jam) notches competition he has going on with her brother and commit to one girl. Cute innuendo and colorful descriptions make this a fun and overall light-hearted read. 


Bite & Release by Cory Cyr
Amazon
Looking for an ornery boy to bite you? Then Shea Michaels is your man! Ryan Chase might be a bit down on her luck but she has the attention and the heart of one Alaskan hot hunk.  It’s bone cold in Fairbanks but their love scenes are hot and sizzling...and plentiful.





Broken at Love by Lyla Payne
Dumped by his girlfriend and with his tennis career shot, Quinn is looking to play a new game and score. But Emilie is more of a challenge than he imagined. In more ways that one. The right amount of drama and a slightly sweep you off your feet style HEA for this college romance. 





Exposure by Iris Blaire
Amazon 
Go behind the scenes of a university “Playboy” photo shoot when East Park co-ed Evan (aka centerfold model Rylan Willow) gets paired with a sexy male model who also happens to be one of her TAs. The premise of this story is quite original, the "drama" is refreshing, and the "love scenes" are creative. (Okay, some of the love scenes aren't even full sex but they are hot, hot, hot!) There's nothing cheesy about it. The characters are real, upbeat, and while they have their struggles (mostly real world struggles like how to pay for college) they don't have tons of baggage from their past or extreme sexual tendencies. A cute, fun, sexy read!

Hard Rock Arrangement (The Lonely Lion Kings #1) by Ava Lore
*Look for the full review coming in September*
Like your males a little alpha? Like your rockers in suits? Then Kent Hudson is your man. The story is funny and keeps the readers on their toes. You think it’s going to go one direction, but then it surprises you and goes another—in a good way. It’s a plot that’s far from predictable. The encounters between Rebecca and Kent are steamy, and the themes of true friendship and standing up for yourself leave you closing the book with a smile on your face. 


Hostage by N.S. Moore

BLOG TOUR: Ignite by Lily Paradis

 Author Interview: 5 Questions with Lily Paradis

Q1. Tell us a little about yourself and what inspired you to write Ignite.

A. I think you'll see a lot of me in Lauren. She's 21. I was 21 when I wrote this book. She does stupid things sometimes. She's selfish. I do stupid things, and I'm selfish a lot of the time. I didn't consciously model her after myself, but I think my own voice crept in there involuntarily. It was a challenge to make her relatable even through her major flaws.

IGNITE was inspired by two events. The first was what happened to me when I went to the DMV to get my new license when I turned 21. The second was that I nannied for a family of three children over a span of a few days, and I started to wonder what it would be like if that was my life. It all just kind of came together from there!


Q2. How did you come up with the title, and how does it relate to the story?

A. I have a weird thing about titles. I like strong, one-worded titles that make you wonder why the book is called what it's called. That's why I write them in all capital letters. IGNITE came to me when I watched someone struggle to start their car, and then later a lighter. Sarah Hansen put the definition on the cover and I think that helps a little bit with figuring it out. I don't want to give anything away, but the characters are all stuck in some way, and they just need something to "ignite" them and get them moving and productive in their lives. Or maybe, someone. I think we all have those moments, and I hope readers find it relatable. If you look on the tumblr inspiration page, you'll see a beautiful gif of a lighter being lit. That, along with the contrast against the snowy setting in the novel and Dean's concept that Lauren is in "Siberia", led me to call it IGNITE. I know it may not seem the most fitting to some, but I can't imagine calling it anything else.


Q3. Do you have a favorite scene from the book?

A. Strangely, my favorite scene is when Lauren has to go get Callie from the principal's office. It may be a weird scene, since seemingly nothing important happens, but that situation and Callie's actions are hilarious to me.

Another favorite is when Lauren is waking up in the hospital and is still a bit loopy. That, and the airplane scene with her and Dean were fun to write.


Q4. What are some of your favorite books and authors that have inspired you to become a writer?

A. None of these books will make any sense because IGNITE isn't the same genre, but my future books are! 

Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen by Garth Nix, and Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas.


Q5. Tell us a little about Arclight?  What can we expect to learn from Dean’s POV?  Is this a sequel that picks up where Lauren's story left off or does it encompass the same time frame as Lauren's story? When will it be released and what other writing projects do you have in the works?

A. ARCLIGHT, thus far, is a collection of scenes from Dean's childhood and his POV of certain scenes in IGNITE. I do have events for a sequel planned, but Dean's perspective may take up an entire book all on its own. I do have a lot of pieces from his childhood that show you why he is the way he is with Lauren, and how he got to be such a part of her father's life. I kept a lot of it very vague in IGNITE on purpose. This is Indie Publishing. If I tried to do that traditionally, it wouldn't fly. But Lauren isn't an all-knowing character, so why would the audience get to know everything if she doesn't? I thought it would be interesting to have to get the other pieces of the story from him, just like she eventually will. It's frustrating. Lauren's frustrated, so the readers should be too. During the events of IGNITE, a lot of traumatic events happened, so she didn't quite have the time to seriously question him, and ask about his past. She was too busy focusing on the kids and how she would figure out her future. In ARCLIGHT, we get to see these things, and I hope it'll be an "aha" moment for a lot of readers. It kind of was for me as I was writing it, if that makes any sense. That was a long winded answer, but I hope it makes you want to read ARCLIGHT to get the rest of the story! P.S., That title is something that also relates to IGNITE, and more to Dean. If you google the definition of the word, it might give you some clues. I'm hoping it will release early to mid 2015, as I'm planning on releasing VOLITION first. 

I have a lot of different projects in the works, and Tate McKenna in VOLITION is possibly my favorite narrator I have ever written and will write. I also have EQUILIBRIUM in the editing stages, which is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel that I wrote a couple of years ago. They're all very diverse, so I hope that readers will like the cross-genre novels!

Thanks Lily and congratulations on the release of your first book!


Lily is 22 and recently graduated from the University of Colorado where she earned a degree in English Literature. She lives with her family and loves reading, running, and hiking. Although she’s a Colorado native, New York City is her favorite place in the world and fosters her borderline unhealthy obsession with the Empire State Building and F. Scott Fitzgerald. IGNITE is her debut novel.




Book Review: Ignite Lily Paradis

3.5 Stars

What starts as a random day at the DMV for 21 year old college student Lauren Annabelle Lindsey turns into the day that changes her life and puts her on a completely different path. Not only does she run into a hunk of a man she will later meet as Dean Powell, but she’s given the news that she’s now the legal guardian of her step-mother’s three children.

Lauren quickly becomes aware that Dean is not just some stranger also getting his license renewed. He is actually the older brother and legal guardian to his teenage sister, her step-sister’s best friend, and has close ties to the family she has barely known.

There is a strong emphasis on fate as a theme of the novel and quite a few fairy tale references. Aside from a jerk move he pulls during a ski trip, Dean is quite the prince. He’s great with the kids, has limitless funds, and is there whenever Lauren needs him.

The story itself is engaging.  Lauren has to negotiate her new “parent” role to her step-siblings and her interactions with them add greatly to everyone’s character development.  Those scenes feel very real as the three children each react to her differently, and she finds she must bond with them in different ways.

Dean and Lauren develop a quick and endearing friendship. I appreciated that it wasn’t insta-love or insta-lust. They really work at a relationship and help each other open up. Dean is a friend at a time when Lauren really needs one.

There is some suspension of disbelief needed in regards to questions Lauren doesn’t ask and dots she doesn’t connect. How did her step-mother die? Why was she chosen to be their guardian?  How did Dean come to know her family?  While I enjoyed the intrigue aspect to this story, and there will be another book, Archlight, told via Dean’s point of view to supply details that are missing from Ignite, there were still just a few too many questions left unanswered.  There is no cliffhanger though. The ending offers a HFN—a promise of the future.

One thing that is missing is the consummation of their relationship. The romantic “content” seems geared more towards the young adult audience as there is little intimate physical contact between Dean and Lauren (forehead kisses aside).  That being said, if you prefer a clean romantic story then Ignite is highly recommended. However, if you are looking for a big steam factor, you may find the 'romance' lukewarm.

 ~Excerpt~

Craig has me backed against the wall, his hands either side of my head and his face is within inches of mine. I can feel his hot breath spurt on my face and his eyes are burning with anger. He look like he wants to punch everything in sight. Okay, so maybe I went a bit too far, but fuck him. I wanted a reaction from him and I sure as hell got one.
                I plaster myself to the wall. I know he would never touch me in a million years, but something primal is in front of me and between being scared of Craig, I am getting turned on by this too. We have yet to have angry make-up sex and right now, as much as I want my bath, sex would not go amiss.
                “Are you trying to fuck me up, Nic? Trying to turn me into a jealous fucker because I damn well am right now.” He spits out. His eyes are all over my face, from my lips to my eyes to my lips again. “I nearly punched the shit out of your little work buddy earlier. You fucking LEFT ME in bed this morning after our fight last night and then I see you all fucking happy as Larry with dickwad. Do you know how that made me feel?
                I shake my head and go to push him off me, but that only spurs him on and his body becomes flush with mine. I have to bite back a groan at the contact. He wraps his hands in my hair and brings my face even closer to his. I can literally taste the beer on his lips and all I want to do is taste it on his tongue. But I need to stand my ground and not let him get one over on me.
               
“Well maybe you should stop trying to dig into the past, Craig, leave it the fuck alone. I've already told you I feel fucking bad for this morning but you're a big boy, you should have learned how to set an alarm by now.” I bite back, “And I didn't bring Jamie along to make you jealous, you wanker, I brought him along to meet you all. But no, you turned it into a pissing contest. I am no ones okay? I am not yours so calm your fucking jealousy.”
                He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. He unravels one hand from my hair and punches the wall next to me. I jump at the thud his fist makes and he falls forward, his face resting on my shoulder. I stand still, wondering what he is doing and I feel him wrap both hands around my waist. My hands are still idle at my waist, not wanting to touch him.
                “Nic, you are mine. No matter what the hell happens. You. Are. Mine.” He murmurs into my ear and plants a kiss on my neck.
                “Yeah, yours for 8ish more months.” I say and feel him shake his head and tighten his grip on me.
                “No.” is all I hear from him. His words are confusing me and unless he cannot count how long we have left, he's going insane.
                “Yes.”
                “No.” and with that he lifts himself back up and slams his lips onto mine. I falter back into the wall and Craig moves with me. His lips are hard and rough against my own and I try to keep up his pace. I wrap my arms around his neck, wanting to be closer to him, needing him closer. Our tongues are battling against each other, I can taste the beer and a moan escapes from the back of my throat. I feel Craig's hands move down towards my arse and one hand grabs a cheek while the other grips my thigh and he hoists me up so my legs are wrapped around his waist. He pushes up further into the wall, so he can hold me in place and I can mould myself to his body; all the while our lips never parting. His kisses are like my next breath. I crave them all day and when I do get them upon mine, its like everything is put into place, I can breathe and let out everything I have been holding in all day. 
                Craig moans into my mouth when I take over dominance and bite his lip, sucking it between my teeth before running my tongue to sooth it. My hands pull at his hair, his hands are gripping my arse and I am writhing against him. I can feel him pulsating through his jeans and I can feel the hardness of his dick pushing into my own jeans and each time I move it causes friction for both of us and guttural groans escape us both.
                Craig rips his mouth from mine and begins to attack my neck. He bites, sucks, licks and all I can do is roll my head to the side to grant him more access while I purr with need and want for this man in front of me.
                “Craig, I need you to fuck me.” I whisper while he's biting my pressure point. I swallow hard and suddenly we are on the move towards the bedroom. His lips don't leave my neck until he throws me down on the bed and right there, that very second I can see just how jealous and angry and pissed off my husband is, but I can also see the passion and the need and want for me, and fucking too right, I am going to be another statistic to prove just how fucking awesome angry make-up sex is.

COVER REVEAL: My Coyote Ugly Life by Jessica Spoon



Coming: September 26, 2014
Synopsis
“How on earth do I get myself in these situations? I swear it’s like a never-ending bad dream. One of all my mistakes that continuously bite me in my size ten ass.”

Azaria ‘Ree’ Gable had her one experience with heartbreak and that was enough for her. She’s perfectly satisfied with her ‘One Month Rule’ and doesn't need her life changing anytime soon.

When circumstances take her back home, she learns things have changed…

A lot…

First and foremost being with the complete and astonishing overhaul and revamp of the Belton Police Department, where apparently the application was changed to state ‘Ugly Men Need Not Apply’ and the only requirement is ‘How Well Do You Look In This Uniform?’

Ree unexpectedly catches the eye of the new ‘gina-quiver inducing Chief of Police Grayson Cole, which starts an endless game of cat and mouse.

Will Ree let go of her misconceptions about relationships and allow Grayson to show her how beautiful life can really be?

Excerpt
“Urmph,” I grunt out as I run smack into
someone, face- planting in their chest because I was more worried about saving
the rolls. “Sorr-,” I begin to say and cut myself off as my brain registers the
police badge that is pinned to the chest of the individual I face-planted
into. 
Fuck. 
Shit, fuck, fuck, fuckity, shit-fuck!
My heart rate kicks up a notch and my
skin turns electric as my body starts to freak out; knowing, this is when it’s
time to run. 
“Erm… sorry,” I raise my head slowly,
dreading looking at the guy, “officer…” my words trail off, not because I’m
speechless, but because I can’t breathe.
Did you hear me?
I.
Can’t.
Breathe!
Why can’t I breathe?
Because I know this guy! Omigod, omigod,
omigod!
“Azaria,” he says my name in a deep
rumbly voice that washes over my skin, making me feel like fairies are dancing
all over my body in jubilation, such is the epic-ness that is his voice. 
He leans his head down (way down, because
he is so much taller than me), I look up and notice a halo form around his face
from the sun shining in the window, his caramel colored eyes flash with
amusement as his perfect lips form a half smile. I suck in a breath.  (Yep. I’m a fan of the half smile. Sign me
up, for I would love to have that mouth smiling against some very intimate
areas of my body.) 
Oh, my God, he smells so good. My body,
completely of its own accord (I swear!) moves closer to him, making it easier
to get a better whiff of whatever body wash it is that makes me want to take a
chunk out of him with my teeth. My ‘gina begins to quiver; the walls vibrating
with fury at not having him the other night.
His head moves to the side of mine where
he whispers, “I missed you the other morning.” Holy donkey nuts his voice is
sexy. 
Oh. My. God.
This can’t be happening. Nope. Not
happening. 
No way.
“O- officer,” I stumble over my words
trying to think of something to say, and reminding myself that this, after all,
is a cop. 
Not just any cop, of course. 
Nooo…
According to his nameplate he is ‘Chief
Cole’. Are you kidding me!? Why
couldn’t he just be a gentleman and ignore the whole situation like a normal
American!? No, he goes straight for it. Don’t hold back.
Jerk.
Okay, now how do I play this? I obviously
can’t use the whole ‘Do I know you?’ routine. My ‘gina quiver made sure of
that. I can’t just walk out and ignore him… Can I? Hmm… 
I don’t think, I’m capable of pulling off
the whole ‘Show- respect-to-the-officer-because-I’ve-had-too-many-run-ins-with-
the-law-and-I’m-a-bad-person’ routine either.
Okay. Well, that only leaves one option.
I step back, straighten my purse on my
shoulder, get a better grip on my box of rolls and look him straight in the eye
(with a polite, yet detached voice and face) and say, “Chief Cole. Nice to see
you again.”
And, ever so elegantly, I step around him
and head out the door. 
Whew! Close one. 
“Azaria, wait.” 
Shit. He followed me outside! Now what do
I do? 
Keep walking. 
Yep. Just… keep… walking.
“Ree,” he says as his fingers wrap around
my upper arm, halting my awesome walking away skills.
He turns me around to look at him and I
do a quick peripheral scan of the area to see how many onlookers we have to
what is about to go down; not many. Yet.
“Did you really just walk away from me…
again?” he asks astonished. 
“Did it look like I walked away from
you?” I ask, feeling a bit like a society snooty bitch and deciding to go with
it.
I notice a few people start to come out
onto the sidewalks to see what is going on. Great.
Well, they were bound to learn that I moved back sometime. May as well give
them the show they expect from me.
“Yeah. It did,” his voice and face are
completely serious.
“Oh, well. Then I guess I did,” I shrug
my shoulders and smile at him, this time sounding more like a dingbat valley
girl. 
Someone call the shrink! Chief Cole is giving Ree
Dissociative Identity Disorder!

MeetTheAuthor
My first book, Darkness Deserved, released July/2013. It is the first book in the Shattering the Darkness Series. 

I'm crazy and love my friends, family and booze. Yes. Booze. (Don't judge me.) 

I used to never read when I was growing up. My mother always tried to get me to read and I wanted no part in it. I figured why read when it's going to be a movie. (Yes, like I said crazy.)

Well a few years ago I jumped on the Twilight band wagon. I've always loved supernatural movies and when I saw the previews I knew I wanted to see it. And see it I did. I immediately went out and bought the books and became hooked.

They came to me at a very special time in my life. 

I discovered I loved to read and found my nitch in the paranormal and romance genre. I started a book club with a cousin and all of a sudden these thoughts kept assaulting my brain.

So I wrote them down. Then, deciding that I wanted to write, I contacted some wonderfully amazing women who helped me through the process. This is the result.

I love Breccan and Harper and hope you all do as well. The book is dark and graphic. It pushes the boundaries and will make you cry, (hopefully) laugh and (hopefully) fall in love.

BOOK REVIEW: 3:AM Kisses by Addison Moore

On Campus Today at Whitney Briggs University in North Carolina. Take a course in colorful descriptions, euphemisms, and innuendo.  Can you describe anatomy as lively as author Addison Moore?...

3:AM Kisses (3:AM Kisses series) by Addison Moore
A
(Grades will be given in lieu of stars for these titles)

When Baya Brighton shows up on campus for her first year at Whitney Briggs University, stacks of her father’s books weighing her down like bricks, she isn’t planning on flashing her boobs to hot senior and fellow co-ed Bryson Edwards. (Yes, Baya just modernized the term book-bosomed.) Baya also isn’t expecting that the first campus hottie she lays eyes on is her brother’s best friend, roommate, and fellow man whore.

As if “nipplegate” isn’t embarrassing enough for Baya, she soon discovers the big brother who she always looked up to is the biggest man whore on campus, competing with Bryson for the most notches on the door jam.  Cole is so wrapped up in his own sex marathons that he is blind to the fact that his sister isn’t a kid anymore and treats her…well like a bossy jerk of a big brother who wants her playing with doll houses, not his horny roommate.

Baya is sweet, innocent, and naïve at times.  Left alone to make her own way on campus, it is Bryson that befriends her and helps her out the most. Bryson is cute, flirty, tattooed, tanned, and a little troubled. Or at least he’s carrying around guilt that’s keeping him from accepting a real relationship and falling in love.
“Oh sweetie…if you spent the night in my room there wouldn't be a whole hell of a lot of sleeping going on.” —Bryson
While this may be about Baya’s new college experiences, as a coming of age story Bryson is the one who really finds himself, going from a cocky boy-slut to a caring and committed boyfriend. He finds in Baya the girl that makes him want to give up all his meaningless sexual conquests and the type of girl he’s ready to take home to his family.

Can Baya stand to live with her sex-fiend roommate? Or will she have to lug those books across campus for a new abode?  Can Cole get his tree trunk out of the sorority girls and treat his sister like an adult? Will Bryson get the invite to the "Baya loses her virginity party?" Or will others who don’t want them together keep them apart?  Do these co-eds ever go to class? J

Told via Baya and Bryson’s alternating point of view it is filled with cute euphemisms and colorful metaphors. Baya’s bubbly personality and creative descriptions make the story lively. 
“Bryson Edwards has a beam between his legs. An Olympic sized balance beam, and I half-expect to see an entire string of gymnasts burst into the room with team USA leotards on and break out into a routine over it.” —Baya
While there is some more serious drama towards the climax of the story and a little touch of mystery regarding the details of Bryson’s past, for the most part it’s a fun and light-hearted read. That’s not to say there aren’t some ewww moments in the beginning in regards to Bryson’s extra curricular activities. It takes a little bit for Bryson to clean up his act.  But Baya is patient and smitten with him. The story delivers an HEA with future details about the couple in subsequent books, Winter Kisses, Sugar Kisses, and Whiskey Kisses, featuring their friends, family, and co-eds continue this series.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Nikki Faye

Available Now! Sold 

Five Questions with Nikki Faye

 Q1. Sold and the companion books focus on sex trafficking. How did you decide to tackle this topic and what would you want readers to take away from reading it from an awareness perspective?

A. I have always had a passion for great love stories.  I feel that with any love, great or small you have to go through fire and pain to get through to the other side.  With that said I have also been in an abusive relationship before, physical, sexual, and emotional.  It's why I have a passion for this, I've lived through some of what my characters do.  I am also a hopeless romantic.  :)

Q2. Revenge is a prominent theme. Can you tell us a little more about Chase’s plans and how they have changed? How has revenge changed him?

A. Okay so he was out for blood, out to kill Michael.  This anger and rage had consumed him for so long, it was the only prominent stable aspect in his life.  His father was taken from him, he is a lost and hurt man, (even though he wont admit to that).  But after seeing Emma, and what she goes through, and more importantly realizing that she's innocent in this, she did nothing to cause this, his view changes.  It happens in stages.  He falls madly in love with her.


Q3. What was the hardest thing about writing some of the grittier scenes?

A. Oh gosh, revisiting some of my past.  Writing it, thinking about it.  While writing a lot of those scenes I have my ever present husband there to support me.  He's my rock.  He keeps me sane.


Q4. What was your favorite part about writing Sold?

A. I love Sold; honestly I think it might be my favorite by far.  Reason being Chase is so broken, so lost, and hurting.  And Emma can't fix him, but she shows him the light, and the truth in herself, and he mends his broken heart and soul.  I just love Chase :)


Q5. What can readers expect with future writing projects and ones in the works? 

A. Okay so I revealed on my author page my new series (President Series) and it's quite naughty ;) But don't fear. Club Threshold isn't even close to being done.  So we have Taken and Bound (Taken 2 and Sold 2) Coming this October.  You might ask why so long?  Well I'm still writing it.  I take a lot of time to write, a lot of brainstorming and analyzing my work. Then we will return to Submitting to my Master, Club Threshold Book 2.  It picks up right after Club 1.  It’s really intense and a graphic read.  That'll come out in November. And immediately following will be Forever Sean (Novella Series). There will be 2-3 novellas on his story.  They are EXTREMELY intense.

*All books are 18+ Adult Dark Erotic Romance with mature content/sensitive subject matter. 

SOLD

Book Description: 
My name is Chase. I have been watching and waiting for this day for over seven years. Since my father was murdered my life was surrounded by her. I took comfort in the fact that soon I would be able to make him hurt just as he has hurt me. I would be able to make him beg as I begged him all those years ago when he was standing behind my dad with a gun to his head. 

I was a young man then. I hadn't decided what I wanted to do with my life yet. I didn't know where I wanted to go, but I did want to go. I wanted to escape. But watching my father as he was murdered before my eyes changed everything. Now I am motivated by revenge. I was out to make him pay. He would pay through her. 

I would make her my slave. She would pay the sins that her father Michael James Lippman committed. She would bow to my will. She would do whatever I ask of her. I planned on using her until she was broken beyond repair. 

I planned on breaking her and then tossing her out to hurt him even more. To pour more salt in his wounds. What I hadn't planned on was falling irrevocably and madly in love with her. I hadn't planned on her changing everything, but she did. I found my escape; in her.  


Emma:
All my life I wanted to belong. 
I wanted to get away from my drunken mother. 
And my asshole of a father. 
I've lived a privileged life, one that I've tried to hide from. 
All it has gotten me is heartache. 
I left on a trip to find myself. 
I was taken, blindfolded, beaten, and sold. 
My story doesn't end there. 
Now I belong. 
To him. 
Unwillingly. 
He says he will own me, own my body, soul and mind. 
This is my story. It isn't a fairy tale. It's the fucked up mess of my life, and the man who owns me. He has demons of his own that he fights. He lives a privileged life but it wasn't always that way. He's been living in his own hell. And I've introduced him into mine. He says he's broken. I am the piece to his puzzle. The puzzle that is his life. 
I wont give up without a fight. I wont give in. 
I want my freedom, I want my life. 
What if I come to discover that what I've been searching for is him? He can heal my soul, fill me, break me and make me new again. He is my true Nightmare. I don't need to sleep to see him.

Master of Passion (Club Threshold Book 1) 
What happens when you put a battered and terrified woman on the run with a troubled and determined Master? A love story of a lifetime is born. 

Meet Layla... I could tell you that it all worked out. I could tell you that in the end I made peace with my life and the events that took place before that dreadful day. A day that in my dreams had been the happiest in my life. Our wedding day was the day Kevin, my love, my life, my friend, and my husband died. In him a monster was born. I could tell you that it wasn’t that bad, but that would be a lie. It was horrible. Every day I woke to new fears; and every night I was thankful for the few hours of peace from him. He made my life hell. I thought it was his mission. If I had only known what was really going on. That he was suffering from his own hell. He brought me into his, and changed me. I was no longer the innocent and naive Layla he married. I became a fighter, and for that I am thankful.
Kevin....  Layla had been the light of my life from the time I was a young man. She was the one person that kept me going. After I left my family, faked my death, and killed my brother Josh, I thought I would be free. I wasn’t. I was still haunted by him, my own father. The things he did… you wouldn’t want to know. Layla kept me centered. I thought if I could just see her one more time; if I could just hold her once more. Problem is when I left she was just a little girl, and now years later it has turned into an obsession. I want her, I want to mark her body with my pain, make her feel what I feel, so then we can feel together. It’s good she doesn’t remember me. I am going warp every one of her happily ever after fantasies. The girl never chooses the villain, but she will if she thinks I am the hero.
Josh...  Losing my brother had been the most painful event of my life, or so I thought. I didn’t count on her showing up. I figured she had disappeared along with our life from Sacramento. I hadn’t counted on seeing her again, the girl who has haunted my dreams all my life. The one thing I know I can’t have. I can’t be trusted. I made one wrong decision, and for that Jamie died. I killed my brother Jamie by not following my instincts; I stayed in the house a minute too long. He came back for me. He came to save me and he died. She will die too if I can’t save her.

Breaking All The Rules...With the President
The way his hazel eyes sear me, cut through every wall I've had. He shreds every thought of discovery. The question that's been plaguing me all this time is on the tip of my tongue.
"Don't ruin the moment Macy, just enjoy being here, with me. Feel me touching your back."

He leans in close, close enough for me to feel his erection demanding release from his pants.

"Feel my breath on your neck. Feel my kisses on your neck."

He begins to kiss and nibble my neck. His lips slowly travel to my collar bone. My nipples harden at the thought of his mouth suckling them. He's done this before, most likely with his wife. I tense up. He senses it.

"Don't Macy, just relax. Don't think." That's difficult for me until he slips his hand under my skirt. His hand feels amazing traveling up my leg. The anticipation of the act is making my heart beat like crazy.

He looks down at me. His smile, his panty wetting smile, it gets me every time. "Obey me Macy."

I have but one answer for him. "Yes Mr. President."
