Hello my romance reading friends,

I'm cooking with gas, as they say, on my writing progress with The Big Puck. It's a good thing, too, because the release is coming up quick and I have much more to go before the story is complete. In the meantime, honestly, I'm cautiously enthusiastic to share this third excerpt with you. There's always mild trepidation in sharing my writing before it's had a critical eye applied and a final polish. So I bravely submit this excerpt to you, in hopes of seducing you into wanting more. Kind of like a pretty young girl going on a date without her make-up, cautiously optimistic

There's noting like having your adult children at home at the same time for a visit and enjoying their company and the nostalgia of having the family unit together again ➜➜➜➜ like it used to be. I don't have any pics of us having dinner together the other night--but we did share burgers in the same room at the same time, I swear! Here's a family pic from a few years ago.💜

In the meantime, my cat, Kitty, seems to have retired from her foray into hunting and has done nothing but lie around all week, probably exhausted from her recent ill-advised efforts at her *old* age. 🐱 😘

🔥🔥Today's Sizzling Snippet 🔥🔥

from THE GROUPIE

Zak

If I was worried about her having second thoughts, I didn’t need to be. Her eyes go dark, and one corner of her mouth lifts in a tiny curve, the kind that almost makes my knees buckle with need. I hold back a growl. A fucking growl. 

Instead, I heave a deep breath. “I have to warn you, if I undress you, your clothes may be shredded.”

“You first. Let me watch you strip. I want to see if all your muscles are as big and strong as your arms.”

I stop and flex my arms automatically as if they appreciate the compliment. I’m not sure if waiting another second to see her naked is punishment or enhanced reward—either way, every second that goes by until I’m inside her is pure exquisite torture. My cock throbs like fuck, and I don’t think it’s ever been this hard or big. But that could be the confines of my jeans, forcing it to push its will.

I grit my teeth.

“Anything you say, Buttercup. I’m all yours.” I pull my shirt over my head, groaning as I realize I mean those words. She can make me do anything right now just so I can get a whiff of her pussy, a taste. If it’s half as good as the scent of her hair or the taste of her mouth, I swear I’ll explode like never before once I get inside her.

She sits up and reaches out to touch my pecs. “You make the statue of David look like kindergarten art. Look at those fucking muscles ripple.”

Her words douse me with more encouragement than I need as I watch her. She turns me on like a faucet. I swear I feel like a teenager, like I haven’t felt in ten years.

“Jesus, Buttercup.” I grind out the words as she caresses me, pinching my nipples and running her hands down my abs to the fly of my jeans...

“You were out late,” she says. “Where did you go?” her tone is no more than curious, but her words raise the hairs on my arms anyway, sounding proprietary to my overly sensitive ears.

“You realize it’s none of your business, right?”

She shrugs and her sunny face remains undaunted. “So? Call me curious.”

I look away. “More like a disgruntled housewife,” I murmur, shoving a hand through my hair because unlike her, I am daunted.

She laughs and when I look up, her eyes swim with mirth. 

“What?”

“Did you forget I have supersonic hearing?” she reminds me.

This is where I fight down embarrassment and rely on my angry-at-the-universe look to stare her down.

“I’m not used to this situation.” I wave a hand around the kitchen as if it’s out of place, but I’m the only one out of place here. “It’s fucking strange living with a baby and … you.” I dart accusation at her as if I weren’t the one who insisted she needed to live here.

“True. It’s a lot to get used to, but I’m game. In fact, I think it’s fun. I like playing house. There. I said it. Can’t pussyfoot around the fact because that’s exactly how it is. And I’m one for confronting situations head on.”

My heart thuds unnecessarily hard, like she’s struck some kind of nerve, uncovering the exact raw source of my discomfort. Fuck.

“I’m not. I don’t.” I leave it at that. The pile of shit named emotions ought to stay buried wherever they were because the last thing I need to do is start unpacking that fucking bundle now.

“What are you afraid of?”

Ignoring her question, I deepen my scowl until I imagine the furrow in my forehead resembles the Mariana trench and it doesn’t take much effort.

“You feed Krissy. It’s late and I need to leave early. I’m going to bed.” I turn and run up the stairs with unexpected energy given that I was dead tired fifteen minutes ago.

I'm not running because I'm a coward. I'm running because I'm smart and responsible and it would be fucking stupid to stay and let her think we could be friends, or worse, lovers. I can't let her tempt me away from my single minded mission and I can't afford the kind of trouble she would be.

And she is definitely trouble, tempting me even if she doesn't realize it. Why else would I even associate the word lover with her? No way. Not in this lifetime.

Before I reach the quiet sanctity of my bedroom, I hear her laugh and the words she shouts after me.

“See you in the morning, boss man.”

Not if I can fucking help it.

Blood & Bones: Trip - Jeanne St. James

Despite spilled blood and broken bones, from the ashes Blood Fury will once again rise.

Trip, son of the former president of the Blood Fury MC, is determined to resurrect his dead father's destroyed club. It’ll be a long, difficult road as the new president attempts to rebuild the club from the cold ashes left behind.

Bad blood and bitter memories are only some of the obstacles Trip has to overcome. The local police department, Manning Grove PD, is another, since they don’t want to see their small town once again overrun by outlaw bikers.

Then there’s Stella, a local bar owner and a major distraction Trip doesn’t need, but can’t resist, even though she gives him every reason to. She’s tough, she’s broken, and the last thing she wants in her life is a man like him.

In the end, Trip has to decide if the war is worth fighting. And if Stella is the warrior he needs battling by his side.

Shutout - Avery Keelan

After my life goes sideways in the middle of sophomore year, I'm forced to move in with my older brother and two of his hockey teammates. I'm less than thrilled at the idea of living with three athletes and their stinky gear, their rotating door of hookups, and their tendency to inhale every snack in the house.

But when I walk in the front door with an armload of boxes, I'm faced with another problem entirely.

Hades.

One of my new roommates is the tall, tattooed stranger from my one-night stand on Halloween...
