<br />
US snowboarder and notorious prankster, Ty (Trouble) Madsen is only getting a taste of his own medicine when his Olympic teammates shackle him to a fence wearing nothing but his boxers. Reception and protocol volunteer, Nadia Hoffman, gets up close and personal with the sexy snowboarder to rescue him, but she's not the kind of girl who lets her hormones get in her way. A professional performance could help her land her dream job at Olympics Committee Headquarters, but her new assignment supervising the rambunctious US Snowboarding Team is making that difficult. Can she see behind the snowman in the community center bathroom and into the warm heart of the man everyone calls Trouble?<br />

“Thank God you’re here,” a male’s voice groaned, in English.<br />
<br />
Nadia looked across the path toward the stairs ahead of her and saw a very well built, tall man, light brown hair curled around his beanie, with a chiseled chest and tight thighs. Wait a minute. Why could she see his chest and thighs? It was zero degrees Celsius. Why would a man be standing in nothing but his underwear? Her mother always warned her about sickos.<br />
<br />
She dug into her purse, searching for her mace – something she carried since her internship in New York last summer. It settled somewhere at the bottom. Great. When she finally needed it, she couldn’t find it.<br />
<br />
“Do you mind?” He said, a little louder. “I could use some help.”<br />
<br />
“I have mace.” She answered, still searching. “Stay where you are.”<br />
<br />
“Not a problem.” He laughed, a deep laugh that sent tingly sensations from head to toe. God, sleep deprivation must be worse than she thought if she had these thoughts about a sicko.<br />
<br />
She shook her head and finally held the mace up. The man remained in the same spot. He had a fabulous smile and a few wrinkles at the side of his eyes, from smiling or being out in the sun. He must be an athlete with that tight physique. “Who are you and what are you doing?”<br />
<br />
Instead of answering, he let out a laugh all while his teeth chattered. An ache sat in her throat. Poor guy. If his blue lips and frosted hair was any indication, he was beyond cold.<br />
<br />
“Are you okay?” She slowly approached the stairs, not sure what the handsome man would do. But, he looked like he was in trouble.<br />
<br />
His eyes perused her from top to bottom and then he looked back into her face. “Better now.” He smirked.</div>

We have Ty Madison (aka Trouble) an Olympic snowboarder. Ty is aiming to win gold. However, his teammates decided to play a little joke on him. Good thing they did, because he was able to meet Nadia Hoffman. He's all about having fun, while she might be a stick in the mud. When she's around Ty, she starts to learn she can have fun and get what she wants. Verdict: CUTE." Melody May</span></div>

If only the real Olympics were this fun and lovey dovey. All of the stories were a ton of fun and I enjoyed them all. I think my favorite out of the four was Trouble with Gold by Melinda Dozier.

The US Snowboarders are naughty guys who have a lot of pranks in store for several athletes. Ty was given a dose of his own medicine when his teammates shackle him into a fence on a very cold snowy night wearing only his boxers – until Nadia, a volunteer, had saved his balls from literally turning blue. </span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Nadia was a professional – she was focused, and career driven. All she wanted was a job in the Olympics Committee Headquarters, and this volunteer job would help her land it. It didn’t help when she was ordered to babysit the US Snowboarding team. </span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I loved Ty and the rest of the US Snowboarders. They are fun, but when it comes to their sport – they are a serious bunch. I like how patient Ty was in thawing Nadia. He knew he wanted her the first time he saved her. But it would take a whole lot of hard work before he gets the girl.</span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">" Book Freak</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Peggy Jaeger is a contemporary romance writer
who writes about strong women, the families who support them, and the men who
can’t live without them.<br />
<br />
Family and food play huge roles in Peggy’s stories because she believes there
is nothing that holds a family structure together like sharing a meal…or two…or
ten. Dotted with humor and characters that are as real as they are loving,
Peggy brings all topics of daily life into her stories: life, death, sibling
rivalry, illness and the desire for everyone to find their own happily ever
after. Growing up the only child of divorced parents she longed for sisters,
brothers and a family that vowed to stick together no matter what came their
way. Through her books, she has created the families she wanted as that lonely
child.<br />
<br />
Tying into her love of families, her children's book, THE KINDNESS TALES, was
illustrated by her artist mother-in-law.<br />
<br />
Peggy holds a master's degree in Nursing Administration and first found
publication with several articles she authored on Alzheimer's Disease during
her time running an Alzheimer's in-patient care unit during the 1990s.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
In 2013, she placed first in two categories in the Dixie Kane Memorial Contest:
Single Title Contemporary Romance and Short/Long Contemporary Romance.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
In 2017 she came in 3rd in the New England Reader's Choice contest for A KISS
UNDER THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS and is a finalist in the 2017 STILETTO contest for
the same title.<br />
<br />
A lifelong and avid romance reader and writer, she is a member of RWA and her
local New Hampshire RWA Chapter.</span><span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">Reading romance has always been at the top of Melinda's favorite past times. You can always find a book in her hands no matter where she is. Melinda is Louisiana born, New Mexico raised, Guatemala adopted, and recently a newcomer to Houston, Texas. So, it's only natural that her stories take place all across the world. Melinda loves reading, reality TV (obsessively so), traveling, blogging, and playing Farmville.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I can’t look at him. If I look at him, I’ll melt into his stare. Get out, say goodnight and go home. As the car door closed, she turned and he leaned against the shiny, black fender with his hands in his pockets.</span></div>

Completely. Thoroughly. Long and slow and deep. His lips were perfect and she found herself moving to get a closer touch – if that was possible. His hands roamed her back and warmth shot up her neck and back down to her toes. The man knew what he was doing. Either he was a pure player or his desire ranked up there with her own.</span></div>

“My father was always mean and
cruel,” Drew said. “And we never knew when he’d strike out. Smacking us with
the back of his hand, giving us a kick when we didn’t expect it, but normally
it was quick and it was done. Those rages he went into, they were rarer.
Sometimes you could go days, other times weeks, but when they happened, it was
legendary. It was three weeks before it happened again. Something set him off.
Not sure what, but he came home looking for us and we knew. So I did <i>almost</i> the same thing again.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
“What do you mean almost?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
“Ashley begged me to hide in there with them,”
Drew explained. “But I knew he’d look for us and break down the door to get to
us. He was already slamming doors downstairs. So I pushed both of my sisters in
there. And then I locked the door.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
Sam blinked. “You had a closet door
with a lock on it?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;">
“We did then,” Drew said. “I’d
managed to change it out after the last time. I didn’t want them getting out
again. So I locked my sisters in a closet and dealt with my father. Ashley is
still afraid of enclosed spaces. <i>I</i>
did that to her. I knew they’d be stuck in there until I could manage to let
them out and sometimes that was hours later, but I stuck them in there whenever
I knew he was in a rage. I tried to protect them from my father, but there was
nobody there to protect them from me.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>What happened?</b><br />
To make a long story short, my family and I moved back to the United States in the summer of 2015. We didn't have a home, a car or full-time jobs. Did I mention that I have three boys? It was CRAZY! By the end of summer, I got a job to support our family (a great teaching job that I love, but it's oh-so-challenging) and we moved to an area that we are happy to live, by the water and with excellent schools. We couldn't afford to ship our "home" from Guatemala, so we basically lived with very little. During all this, my father-in-law passed away from cancer, then, a year later, my oldest son moved off to college (Hook 'Em!) and that was a whole other emotional roller coaster.<br />
<br />

This past year, hubs finally got a secure job, and our middle son got a job working for NASA Space Center in Houston and just finished his junior year of high school. My youngest was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease (another life hurdle, but we're ready!), but he's excelling in the States! Best of all, we finally shipped our belongings a few months ago and our "home" is slowly becoming our HOME.<br />
<br />
So, in a nutshell, life has been tough. I wouldn't change it for the world, because I have grown through this process. I've realized a great lesson that it isn't the "things" that we need in life, but it's each other. I'm so lucky to have such a supportive family who stood by us! I'm also so lucky to have a husband who I love and would navigate any life's hurdles with again and again (but please slow down, God!)<br />

<br />
<b>The bad news...</b><br />
I have been so out of touch with my "happy place" -- my writing. It truly depresses me. Two years is a long time to go with nothing to count for in the publishing world. My agent dropped me (rightfully so) and I lost touch with so many great writing friends. I haven't published a book in years. YEARS!!! Now I feel like I'm starting over again from zero. It's no fun.<br />
<br />
<b>The good news...</b><br />
Though I have been busy with life trials, I've been working on a book that I'm almost finished with! My goal is to finish this summer and hopefully find a home! This has been in the works for years now, so I am excited and tremendously motivated to get back at it. Also, I'm working on self-publishing my very first novel, Time Changes Everything. Though this is a whole learning process, I'm so excited to get this novel out there as this book is so dear to me!<br />

A forensic accountant, she agrees to look at a company’s books in a divorce case, trying to find hidden assets, but her meeting with the lawyer goes terribly wrong when the restaurant is attacked.</span></div>

As the police investigate, evidence suggests the attack was a ploy to hide a specific hit. When a professional assassin tries to kill Nancy a second time, it’s clear that she was the target and whatever’s going on is a lot more complicated than they think.</span></div>

In her absence someone had emptied her desk and packed up her photographs and other memorabilia. The partially filled box sat in the center of her blotter.</span></div>

I warned you what will happen if you put your paws on me again. There are no pockets in this skirt or jacket, and I’m not about to let you cop a feel,” she ground out, her chest heaving in her fury.</span></div>

Removing the keys and the electronic fob that opened the garage door from her key ring, she handed them to him. As quickly as she could, she stuffed the items back into her purse. He picked up the box.</span></div>

Turning to her filing cabinet, the suspended files were nothing but frames. Even her trash can was gone.</span></div>

She is of French-Canadian descent. She’s always been an avid reader of all types of books, but with a penchant for happily ever after romances. A retired educator, Susanne spends her time writing and creating adventures for her readers. She loves the ins and outs of romance, and the complex journey it takes to get from the first word to the last period of a novel. As she writes, her characters take on a life of their own, and she shares their fears and agonies on the road to self-discovery and love.</span></div>

Two years ago, Alison "Ali" Philips watched her two best friends -- Levi and Tucker Corbin -- pack up and move away from the only home they'd ever known. Being apart is difficult enough, but going years without so much as a phone call or email from either of the brothers was heartbreaking for Ali. But life goes on, and Ali learns to slowly pick up the pieces of her life and mend the hole they left in her heart. She's doing pretty dang well, too. Until she comes face-to-face with Levi Corbin during Monday morning Physics lab.<br />
<br />
The pain of being left behind still stings, but seeing the boys makes her want to go back to the way things were. Unfortunately for her, they've returned with only one thing on their minds: Winning Ali's heart. Ali soon finds herself in the middle of a love triangle she never intended to be a part of. As she tries to reclaim the friendships she's lost, unfamiliar feelings begin to stir. It's time to make a decision, one that will forever change all their lives: Levi or Tucker Corbin?<br />
<br />
Ali is only certain of one thing -- She can't have one Corbin boy without losing the other.<br />

<b>Book excerpt:</b></div>
</div>
<br />
<blockquote>
The long, drawn out beep of the heart monitor silenced the room. “Call it,” Dr. Parker said, his voice strained and low with defeat.<br />
“Time of death, eleven twenty-four p.m.” Nurse Renee pulled the sheet over the patient’s head.<br />
Dr. Parker walked out of the room. Once in the hallway, he leaned against the wall and lowered his head. Losing a patient sucked, but knowing he had to go tell a waiting room full of friends and family that their loved one was dead made it much harder. He rubbed his hands over his face and blew out a long breath. The smell of antiseptic and blood still permeated his senses.<br />
“You did everything you could, Josh,” Renee said, joining him in the hallway and patting him on the back.<br />
“Thanks.” He smiled weakly. “I’m going to go tell the family.” Dr. Parker headed down the hall toward the bank of elevators, the sound of his dress shoes clapping the linoleum. He hated this part of his job. Working in the ER was good to keep his mind busy, but it was taking its toll. It was physically and emotionally exhausting. Not to mention, it always seemed when he was on duty, there was at least one death. He couldn’t handle much more.<br />
Josh pushed the down button and waited for the elevator to arrive. The idea of opening his own practice was becoming more and more appealing. The doors slid open,
and he stepped inside, forcing himself to breathe deeply. Pushing the button for the lobby, he made a decision to take a short break and grab some coffee, maybe a sandwich from the deli across the street.<br />
The elevator dinged, the doors slid open, and because he had no other choice, he stepped out. As soon as he came into view, the boy’s parents stood. The patient was a twenty-year-old college student who’d been out partying with his friends, drinking, and was in a car accident that left two of his friends in critical condition and him dead. It was such a senseless waste of life and a prime example of why drinking and driving, in any amount, is harmful.<br />
“Doctor, how is our son?” the mom asked.<br />
Josh’s stomach lurched, making the words catch in his throat for a moment. “I’m sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton, but Jackson didn’t make it. There was a lot of internal bleeding. We did everything we could.” Mrs. Sutton shook her head, denying what Josh said. Her husband’s face crumpled as he reached for his wife, pulling her into his arms. She let herself fall into him, and Josh looked away in an effort to give them some privacy. After a few moments, Josh said, “I’m very sorry for your loss. The hospital has grief counselors on staff if you’d like to meet with one of them.” His words did nothing to ease their pain, and he knew it. He knew firsthand just how empty they were, how daft and cold they sounded, but they were protocol.<br />
With a sad nod, Josh left the family to grieve. He needed some air that didn’t taste like the hospital. Stopping at the nurses’ station, he said, “Renee, I’m going to go out for a bit. Page me if you need me.”<br />
She looked up from the chart she read and gave him a weak smile. Concern shone from her dark, quiet eyes. She knew him well, had worked beside him many times.<br />
“You look tired. Try to sneak in a nap.”<br />
“Thanks.” He smiled, but there was no emotion behind it. He often wondered if he had the ability to feel emotions anymore. Ever since Laura . . . He shook her name from his mind. Thinking of her would only bring his mood down even more than it already was.<br />
He stepped out into the cool, evening air and took a deep breath, letting his eyes close momentarily. His stomach had been in knots all night, and he didn’t know why. There was a sense of unease, restlessness coursing through his body. It was wreaking havoc on his ability to concentrate, and he couldn’t help but wonder if his lack of concentration led to a mistake in the ER—a mistake that had cost that boy his life.<br />
“I did everything I could,” he muttered to himself, not finding any solace in the words. Josh took several steps toward the road, toward the deli when his beeper went off. “Shoot.” He jogged back inside and met the EMTs as they wheeled a stretcher into the ER. “What do we got?” he asked.<br />
“Young woman, early thirties, beaten unconscious, trauma to the head, stomach, and chest,” the EMT ticked off the woman’s injuries. “Possible broken ribs, too. Breathing is shallow.”<br />
Josh pulled a tiny flashlight from his pocket and checked her eyes. They were reacting to light. That was a good sign. Unhooking his stethoscope from around his neck, he checked her heart. Slow, but steady. “Do we know her name?”<br />
“Alessandra Mathews.”<br />
“Okay, Alessandra,” Josh said in a soft voice. “My name is Dr. Parker. You’re at Metro General Hospital. Can you hear me?”<br />
On the stretcher, she groaned in pain. Tears fell from her bruised and swollen eyes. Dried blood coated her face. Dear God, she looked horrible, so scared and weak.<br />
“We’re going to take care of you now. You’re safe.” Josh put his hand on her shoulder in an attempt to soothe her. It unsettled him to see this woman so shaken, perhaps more than it should. He kept his hand light on her but with enough pressure for her to register that he was there, that she wasn’t alone. “Okay, let’s get her into room four. Renee,” he motioned for her to follow, “we need to get her into a gown and cleaned up.”<br />
At the count of three, the EMTs lifted her from the stretcher and onto the bed. Josh went about checking her from head to toe. There were several deep lacerations on her face and neck that would require stitches. There were also defensive wounds on her hands and arms. Who would do this to her? And why? The depravity of mankind would never cease to disgust him.<br />
“Laceration above her left eye needs sutures. Abrasions on her lips, along her jaw, on her cheek.” Josh lifted her eyelids, checking her pupils against the light again. “Possible concussion.” He moved down her body, inspecting for further injury. “Ribs don’t appear to be broken, but we’ll need an X-ray to be sure.”<br />
Renee efficiently scribbled each one of them down, nodding to confirm she’d heard and noted them.<br />
“A rape kit will need to be done.” He hated having to even think that let alone say it, but in this type of situation, it was a bleak reality. “And get a tech up here with a portable X-ray, STAT.”<br />
He would not lose another patient tonight. He couldn’t. </blockquote>

It's root, root, root for the home team as these sexy boys of summer take their turns at bat. The Kemmons brothers have it all - the money, the moves, the connections - but they haven't hit home runs in love. Until now.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 20px; padding-left: 0px;">
<li style="margin: 0.5em 0em;"><i>Save My Soul</i>: Baseball agent Jordon Kemmons has a problem the usual experts can't fix: his star pitcher is too depressed to throw strikes. If desperate times call for desperate measures, then cynical Jordon has made the most desperate move of all. He's hoping sexy psychotherapist Maggie Collins is the answer to all his prayers.</li>
<li style="margin: 0.5em 0em;"><i>Change My Mind</i>: Centerfielder Grey Kemmons is spending the off-season renovating the house he inherited from his father. When spitfire Nel Parker shows up wanting to list the house, their strictly business relationship soon gets very personal.</li>
<li style="margin: 0.5em 0em;"><i>Heal My Heart</i>: Dr. Tag Howard wants nothing to do with the Kemmons. He's made his own way as an MLB team doctor, and is determined to steer clear of the family that abandoned him . . . until female footballer MJ Rooney crashes into his life with a concussion and a fresh perspective.</li>
<li style="margin: 0.5em 0em;"><i>Trade Off</i>: Traded and jaded, catcher Ben Border is considering stepping out from behind the plate. Then he runs into former flame Scarlett Dare. The sexy marketing executive still sends him into a fever pitch, but is she willing to trade Fortune 500 success for a happily ever after?</li>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Short Excerpt from <b>Save My

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Jordon didn’t stop at the end of the cart. He came around and
grabbed her by the hips. “We’re done with this conversation. I’m not going to
let you push me away because of your misguided notions and over analysis.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Her mouth opened at his absurd insults. Before she could say a
word, his fingers rested on her chin and he closed her jaw. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">“Maggie, transference is bull shit. Freud was a flake. You shrinks
like to wield power over weak-minded patients. I’m not weak, and I’m not your
patient.” He slid his thumb across her bottom lip. “I do…feel exactly the way I
said I do, but I won’t say it again until I’m damn sure you’re going to say it
back. Until then, keep your shrink wrap away from my head. There’s enough going
on in there without you digging around.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Despite the hypnotic sensation of his thumb stroking her lip, she
couldn’t keep quiet anymore. “I find you offensive.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">“No you don’t.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Jordon leaned his face closer, and she swallowed. Her tongue
reflexively brushed over her lip, tasting the tip of his thumb. He stepped into
her, and she swallowed again, knowing his mouth would be covering hers in the
middle of a busy supermarket. But the minute his arm wound around her waist,
she didn’t care where they were. She wanted him to take what he wanted and
leave her begging for more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The last person disgraced reporter Faye Lewis wants back in
her life is Detective Rob Halliday, the man she blames for ruining her career
and breaking her heart. But when she finds an old friend murdered, he’s the one
she calls.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For the past year, Rob and his team have been hunting
the Harvester, a serial killer who ritualistically murders new mothers and
vanishes with their infants. What Rob doesn’t need is another case, especially
one involving his ex-fiancée.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then Faye is assaulted, and Rob realizes the cases are
connected. She may hold the answers he needs to find the elusive killer. But
the more they investigate, the more complex the situation becomes. Can they set
the past aside and work together, or will the Harvester and his followers reap
another prize?<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Twenty minutes later, the unmarked police sedan pulled up
behind the black and white outside the brownstone. The paramedics were parked
farther along the street, just ahead of the police car, reducing traffic to a
single lane. The coroner’s van pulled up behind them. Rob got out and approached
the coroner.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Amos, I didn’t expect to see you here so soon. I called for
a bus, not the meat wagon.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Paramedics were nearby so Logan got here quickly. He
radioed in—exsanguination due to a lacerated throat. He’s still up there.
Nothing he can do for the victim, but your fiancée is taking it hard.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“The victim was like a second mother to her.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Your fiancée</i>—Amos’s
words were true once, but never again. There was no way Rob would hitch his
wagon to a woman who could believe he’d betray her like that, a woman who’d put
her job so far ahead of him, he’d barely been on her radar at times. The sex
had been great, but love was supposed to be more than that. Still, she’d
reached out to him. He took the stairs to the brownstone two at a time, his
lean, muscular body having no problem with the climb. He flashed his badge at
the officer who stood guarding the door. “Anyone showing any interest?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No, Detective. According to the concierge, the people in
number five are in Europe, and I don’t think the rest of the residents are home
from work yet. Looks like a robbery—the place has been tossed pretty good—and
there’s no damage to the door, so she must have let them in. Logan says her
throat’s been slit from behind.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Where’s Ms. Lewis?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“In the living room with Logan. He wanted to take her to the
ER—claims she’s in shock. I told him she had to stay put until you arrived.
He’s pissed at me. Says I’m interfering with his job. He seems pretty friendly
with her. I heard she’s some big shot investigative reporter.” He chuckled.
“Some crime reporter—she’s puked a couple of times already.” He continued to
laugh. Rob’s face must have reflected the anger moving to the surface because
the guard choked it off.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Rick Logan is one of the best paramedics we have. For the
record, McMillan,” Rob read the nameplate on the policeman’s uniform, “the next
time he says someone has to go the ER, you’d better damn well listen to him.
And as for Ms. Lewis, the victim was a personal friend. It’s different when the
victim’s someone you know.” His voice was clipped, his displeasure obvious.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rob turned and entered the apartment. He’d learned the need
to remain objective in order to do the job properly, but as he’d told the young
officer, it was different when it was personal. Not only had the victim been an
acquaintance, Faye was in there. He swallowed and tried to find the emotional
distance he needed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The place was a mess, just as the officer had said. He
looked around quickly, his trained eye taking in everything in an instant—the
wallet on the table, money on the floor mixed with the victim’s blood, the
take-out bag, Faye’s purse and its scattered contents. Whatever this had been,
it hadn’t been a routine robbery. Someone had been looking for something other
than the usual snatch and grab items, so what were they after? What could Mrs.
Green have that was worth dying for?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He found Faye sitting on the living-room sofa with Logan.
Her face was red and blotchy, her blue-green eyes mascara-rimmed from her
tears, and her clothing disheveled and covered in blood. She stood and moved
forward, stopping before she reached him. Wrapping her arms around herself, she
looked young and vulnerable, not a bit like the bitter, angry woman she’d been
the last time he’d seen her.<o:p></o:p></div>

Susanne Matthews was
born and raised in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. She’s <span lang="EN-CA">always been an avid reader of all types of

imagination, she travelled to foreign lands, past and present, and soared into
the future. A retired educator, Susanne spends her time writing and creating
adventures for her readers. She loves the ins and outs of romance, and the
complex journey it takes to get from the first word to the last period of a
novel. As she writes, her characters take on a life of their own, and she

<blockquote>
<b>Blurb:</b><br />
It’s the year 2185, and in two weeks, Aloy will turn eighteen and take her father’s place as president of the country. But to do so, she must masquerade as a boy to avoid violating the Eco-Accords, four treaties designed to bring the world back from the brink of environmental extinction. Aloy hopes to govern like her father, but she is inheriting a different country. The long concealed Technology Faction is stepping out of the shadows, and as turmoil grows within her country, cryptic threats also arrive from beyond their borders.<br />
<br />
As she struggles to lead, Aloy maintains her cover by marrying a woman, meanwhile battling feelings for the boy who knows her secret—the boy who is somehow connected to her country’s recent upheaval. When assassination attempts add to the turmoil, Aloy doesn’t know whom to trust. She understood leadership required sacrifice. She just didn’t realize the sacrifice might be her life.</blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Handsome,
wealthy Quinn McCallister is the most eligible bachelor on McCallister’s
Paradise. Making his family's island resort a success is all that matters to
this workaholic. Everything changes when he meets the beautiful new massage therapist...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Larissa Benner
may have survived cancer, but its aftermath left plenty of problems besides the
ever-looming fear of relapse. Her family nearly went bankrupt paying for her life-saving
treatments. She desperately needs the full-time therapist position on the
island and the benefits that come with it. The last thing she wants is problems
with her boss, or a complicated office romance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

for her to resist Quinn’s charms—or his passionate side. However, Quinn is
married to his job. The choice between love and work is tough for him to juggle
and has Larissa scared. If the cancer recurs, could she count on him to be
there for her? Or would he leave her to face it alone, ending her relationship
in tragedy?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Now she needs his help in the worst way. The only problem is she wants to earn her place in life and have a chance to be the person she wants to be, not who her rich parents expect of her. Taking charity from Parker or his family would feel like a lie to her convictions, and she doesn't want dating him to be a condition of accepting their help. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sydney
McCallister isn't looking for love, especially not from an overbearing man
demanding money for his charity after missing the cutoff date for proposals.
Doesn't Matthew Coleson realize his organization isn't the only one hoping for
a grant from the McCallister family? Tired of dealing with the constant stream
of angry people and feeling terribly homesick besides, Sydney wonders if she
should give up on New York and head back to the family's island resort. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

When Sydney's office is trashed and she receives a threatening message, she's
certain Matt must be responsible. After confronting him, however, she learns
there is more to this man than is apparent at first glance. There's
something about his eyes... besides, who can resist a man who helps homeless
people get back on their feet? He seems to truly care about people and swears
he would never hurt anyone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

he more interested in her family money and what that could mean for his
charity?</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Best-selling author Chantel Rhondeau</b> once thought a great mystery or fantasy book with strong romantic themes was the highest level of reading bliss. After reading her first romantic suspense novel, she never looked back. Chantel is author of six romantic suspense novels, a Christmas novella, and the new McCallister’s Paradise series. She lives in the western United States, and when she's not writing she loves playing cards with her family, bowling on leagues, and snuggling with her lazy kitties.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">I halted my one-sided conversation with the
foul cockroach wedged between the wall and the table and watched through
half-closed eyes as Sergeant Tom Barnaby stepped into O'Neill's Bar and Grill.
I reacted the same way when I stepped into the dimly lit bar. We both kept our
backs against the door until our eyes adjusted. Barnaby walked toward me,
loose-limbed, like he didn't have a care in the world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">I knew better. Years in law enforcement changed
me, set me apart from everyone else. The average citizen couldn't imagine the
atrocities we witnessed. We worked for different agencies, hunting down and
arresting scum of the earth who lurked in the streets, businesses, and behind
the doors of suburban homes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">When Barnaby reached the cracked,
orange vinyl booth he shook his head at the mess left on the table from the
previous patron. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">“Jones,” Barnaby said, as he looked around the
bar. “You couldn't have picked a classier place than this to meet?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">I didn't comment, just
acknowledged him with a nod, and motioned for him to sit. Without a word,
Barnaby sat down, grabbed a grease-stained napkin, brushed the large, winged
bug off the table and stomped on it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">For the last hour, the roach’s
large antennas moved from side-to-side and back-and-forth when I spoke nonsense
to him. I hadn't gotten that much single-minded attention in days. Now, my
short-lived friend was bug-guts on the bar floor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Sharon Kleve was born and raised in
Washington and currently lives on the Olympic Peninsula with her husband.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Sharon is a multi-published author of paranormal
and contemporary romance. She loves romance. She loves reading romance, living
romance, and especially loves writing about romance. She gets no greater
feeling than watching her characters come alive in each other's arms. Most of
all, she loves giving her characters the happily ever after they deserve</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">—with a few bumps and bruises along the way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">One of her favorite things to do is
picking up a new book and sinking into the story, immersing herself in the
emotions between the characters. She hopes to inspire her readers the same way
her favorite authors have inspired her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">When not writing, she can usually be found
either curled up in her recliner with her cat and a good book, or in the
kitchen baking sourdough bread or bagels. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

eyebrow. “Depending on the individuals involved. Don’t you agree?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

laconic answer. “However, let’s run with your idea of knowing true love after
four dates. What then is your professional opinion of passing judgement on an
individual based on a 140-character tweet from a third party and, in your own
words, based on roughly an average of one date per week for a total of one
month, each date lasting only a few hours?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Nathan Carver gave up on love long ago after a betrayal he
wasn't sure he could ever get over. When Angie Simms arrives in town to help
his brother's fiancée with their upcoming wedding, she stirs things in him that
he hasn't felt in a long time. Things he doesn't want to feel. So he pushes her

Angie wants what she wants, and doesn't always think before
she speaks. When she lays eyes on sexy cowboy Nathan, she's determined to find
out what caused his brooding attitude. She can tell right away that he's not
someone to play with. He's got a layer of hurt around his heart, which makes
him that much more attractive.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
"So, cowboy." Angie set her beer bottle down.
"You're halfway done with that drink and you've managed to sit with me the
whole time. Now tell me about the broken heart you're still mending."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nathan rolled his drink between his hands. "Nothing to
tell."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Quit the bullshit. Do I look like her? Remind you of
her? What?" She sat back in her chair and crossed her arms. "There is
some reason you dislike me."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>You make me feel things.</i> Not to mention, in some
ways, her features were similar to his ex, like her long, dark hair. "I
don't know what you're talking about."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She ran a hand through her hair. "Well, whoever she
was, get over it."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Why do you care so much?" He lifted the bottle to
his lips, but didn't drink. "You don't know me, I don't know you. Why do
you care if I've got a broken heart?"</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Because you're taking it out on me."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He shook his head and finished the beer. That was his last
one for the evening. He stared at Angie. She had a point that he'd been rude to
her on numerous occasions, but he hadn't intentionally meant to hurt her
feelings. "I apologize."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She smiled, her red lips parting. She had one of those
contagious grins, because he felt his spread across his face.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Now that is sexy. I can see why the girls would fall
for you." She winked.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"What?"</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She leaned forward, and he caught a glimpse down her shirt
again. "Your smile. It could make a woman fall to her knees."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>I want you on your knees.</i> He wasn't sure how to
respond.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Now that you're in a better mood, want to tell me how
I can make you like me?"</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was nothing she needed to do. He <i>liked</i> her
plenty. "I don't have an issue with you."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She shrugged and stood. "Okay, whatever." She
rubbed his shoulder. "I'm going to find me a handsome man to dance
with."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He grabbed her wrist and she stared back at him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"What? Did you want to be that handsome man?" She
tried to look innocent, but the tease knew what she did to him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes, yes he did. He wanted to take her on that dance floor
and mold her body to his and let everyone in this place know she was off
limits. "Nah, I'm heading out. Just be careful. Some of these guys think
dancing should lead to other things."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She raised an eyebrow. "Good to know." She moved
close to his ear. "I am looking for a good time."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Something tore loose in Nathan and he stood, pulling her
against him. Without another thought, he claimed her lips. She went still in
his arms, but then, as he expected, she grabbed hold of him and thrust her
tongue in. The taste of beer met his senses and he laced a hand around her
neck. She moaned as she lifted up on her toes to make the kiss deeper.</div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Experience has taught single mother Rachel Madison
that the only person she can truly rely on is herself. But what she wants most
in the world—to give her son the life she never had growing up—means she must
put her faith in a man who once walked out on her.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Retired from the service, U.S. Army Sergeant First
Class Colton Taylor makes a detour to Phoenix to bury his brother. Nobody is
more surprised than he is to see Rachel waiting for him at the airport. He
regrets the morning he walked away from her, but coming from an abusive home
taught Colt to put limits on all his relationships—especially this one.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">So when he discovers he has a son, Colt knows this is
a chance to prove to himself he’s not a chip off the old block. Turning his
life around doesn’t come naturally, though. Then a drug dealer crops up from
his brother’s dark past, threatening their son and forcing Colt and Rachel to
face their demons … and each other. </span></span></div>

arms across his chest. “All right. You really want to know what I’m thinking?

them, stepping into her personal space then taking another step, until his

Re-belle-ious, free-spirited Lauren Renwick has decided it’s time to trade her
wings for roots. That means no more bad boys, no more foolish choices. Yet when
she’s stood up on New Year’s Eve, her resolution to stick to her Mama’s Rules
for Dating weakens. Especially when she spots sex-in-leather-and-tattoos,
Jackson Sullivan.<br />
<br />
One look at Lauren, and Jackson is hell-bent on getting her on the back of his
Harley and riding straight for his bed. Their night together is an erotic rush
that has a new word popping up on his horizon—forever.<br />
<br />
Lauren tries to convince herself he’s just one last fling to get bad boys out
of her system, yet she finds herself falling hard and fast for a man with a
stalker ex and a meddling Irish family. Plus, he has zero chance of passing her
uptight parents’ inspection.<br />
<br />
Jackson has Lauren’s back, but if she wants all of his heart, she’ll have to
meet him halfway—by ditching rules that hold her prisoner, and learning to
stand up for what she really wants.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

to do what I really wanted: to write and become a published author. That wish
has finally come true and I feel like a karmic cloud has been lifted off my

optimism, happy endings (both kinds), and making those close to me laugh 'til

places, but have now happily settled in the cutest lil' town, Vienna, Virginia,
with my awesome and patient husband and two kick-ass girls. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Excerpt<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">By the pool
table were a bunch of rough-as-leather motorcycle riders, getting loud and
throwing down bets on the pool table. There were more than a couple of hookups
going on in the darkened corners with the occasional flash of flesh making an
appearance. Even though I was surprised by the blatant PDA, I also couldn’t
help but envy them. At least they had someone worth sweating with on New Year’s
Eve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">I
straightened my dress and glanced up, only to find the most beautiful man I’ve
ever seen walking straight toward me. His gaze was intense, and he was tall
with broad shoulders that ate up the space around him as he moved. His hair was
jet black and even with the poor lighting, I could tell it was glossy like
silk. I liked that it wasn’t too long or too short, and it had this sexy, messy
way about it, like he just rolled out of bed after having mind-blowing sex. I
couldn’t tell the color of his eyes, but I could still determine he had an
amazing mouth and a rugged face. Pure masculine beauty, wearing faded blue
jeans, a henley shirt that was snug enough to highlight his muscular frame, and
well-worn motorcycle boots.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Bad-boy sex
on legs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Exactly the
kind of man I was trying to avoid those days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">He was
totally gorgeous and definitely intense, with the way he stared at me like a
gazelle on an open plain that was seconds away from being devoured. Nothing was
distracting him from getting from across the room right to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">As he
approached where I was seated, he gave the bartender a quick chin lift. The
bartender reciprocated the manly greeting, poured a finger of whiskey in a
glass and handed it to him. I noticed that even when Mr. Sex on Legs reached
for his drink, he did it without taking his eyes off me for a second.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Hey,” he
said with a voice as rough as gravel. “What’s your name?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-EpuCa1De-z86ALCbgZMwkPYvSeLnsUZOlvIcIIs0RXRHdI3zEUYxU4g6FgrL8HzZYVQOuVPteEKgKNv4NUBMLjhTITLlg0bj6BEAe8kTTvX_WZUebW7Uv24IHs8l6-MCTgy1lsPsvL4/s1600/Teaser+%231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-EpuCa1De-z86ALCbgZMwkPYvSeLnsUZOlvIcIIs0RXRHdI3zEUYxU4g6FgrL8HzZYVQOuVPteEKgKNv4NUBMLjhTITLlg0bj6BEAe8kTTvX_WZUebW7Uv24IHs8l6-MCTgy1lsPsvL4/s1600/Teaser+%231.jpg" height="260" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Oh sweet
Jesus, don’t tempt me with a rough-and-ready biker god who is on a
well-acquainted, knows-my-drink-without-asking basis with the bartender. Bad
enough he exuded sex and sin, which was my weakness. Definitely didn’t need a
man with Johnny Walker or Jim Beam riding on his back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">I gave him
a perfunctory glance. “Doesn’t matter my name. I’m not staying here long enough
for us to get acquainted.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Two of his
fingers propped my chin up, forcing me to look at him. Damn it, he really was
the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. He had blue eyes. No, not just blue
eyes, but go-on-vacation-and-do-laps-in-the-warm-Caribbean-Ocean blue eyes. And
those eyes were scalding hot on me, burning me whole. And I knew that look. It
meant I needed to get out of there, fast, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to
escape the smoldering, hot-guy tractor beam that was pulling me in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Listen.” I
sighed, trying my hardest to pretend he had no effect on me. I backed my chin
away from his hand. “You are definitely a scrumptious treat, but I’m not
sampling tonight, if you get my meaning. Nothing personal.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">He threw
his head back and laughed loud and deep, the vibration humming through my body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Fuckin’
gorgeous and funny. Makes it even better.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Um.” I
stalled, feeling confused. “Makes what better?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">He looked
at me as if the answer were obvious. “The promise of you, babe.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">He took a
sip of his drink and waited patiently for my response, which I couldn’t give
him, wouldn’t give him, because the last thing I wanted was for him to hear in
my shaky voice how his eyes, his words, his smoldering looks were affecting me,
making me flush all over. Like a goddamn schoolgirl.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">His were
not the only eyes on me. I could feel a different kind of heat, the fury of
women who wanted me dead. Across the room a bunch of them were seated at some
of the rounds and in the booths, and they’d been watching us intently ever
since he crossed the room to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Wouldn’t
one of your biker babes—” I pointed over to the herd with my chin, “—be a
better bet to score with before midnight? They certainly seem…anxious that
you’re over here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">He smirked,
his gaze traveling from my eyes to my mouth and back. “That’s like shooting
fish in a barrel. No fun in that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“I get the
feeling they think you belong to them. And the way the barkeep knows your drink
tells me you’ve hung out on these barstools way more than I’m comfortable with.
Again, nothing personal, but I’m going to make sure this year is the year I
start living right. And gorgeous?” I drawled while placing my hand on my hip.
“You’ve got bad decision written all over you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">I was so
busy with my rant that I hadn’t really noticed that instead of getting angered
or defeated, Mr. Sex on Legs was actually getting off on my attitude, and I
knew that because the playful glimmer in his eye turned molten and dark.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">He leaned
toward me, coming close enough for me to catch the glorious musky scent that I
knew was his alone. Suddenly I felt his warm hand at the nape of my neck,
holding me firmly, with his thumb pressing into the pulse point on my throat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Gorgeous,
funny and feisty. And feisty usually means sharp as a tack.” His fingers
started caressing the back of my neck, and I bit my lip to quell the moan
rising through me. He kept talking. “Although you’re wrong about the barfly
assumption. I own this place, so it serves Robby here well to know my drink.”
His hand came up, he threaded his fingers through my hair and his deep, rough
voice ran through me, like liquid smoke and fire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Can’t
imagine what sort of fucked-up happened to you tonight to end up here, but not
gonna complain seeing as your bad luck will end up being real good for me.” His
gaze slowly traveled the length of me. “So, darlin’, gonna tell me your name
already?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">I knew this
was my cue to tell him my name and offer some pithy response. But not only did
I have nothing, I chickened out, muttered a quick apology and took off for the
bathroom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">I did my
business and splashed cold water on my heated face. I looked at my reflection
in the mirror and leaned my palms and my weight against the porcelain sink,
mortified to go back out there again. The only thing positive about my
predicament was that the humiliation sobered me right up. Now all I had to do
was go back, settle my tab and get the heck out of there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Is that
what you really want? a small voice inside me asked. I had to admit that I was
curious about this man. He intrigued me, and I was glad to feel a hum under my
skin and between my legs when I was with him. Certainly hadn’t felt anything
close to that with Keith over the last several months.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">I stood
there and let my mind wander off, wondering if the skin on his fingers was
smooth or calloused, hoping for the latter because I really liked the way rough
hands and fingers felt against my silken, wet center.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Jesus,
Lauren, panting much? Get. A. Grip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">I liked
men, but it took more than a handsome face to get me this wound up. They had to
be wicked smart and confident. Even though he seemed completely at home in his
bar, there was something about him that seemed different, like there was more
to him than being a reckless biker. Of course I had nothing to substantiate my
hunch, but I couldn’t remember the last time I felt so drawn to someone on
first sight. Maybe never before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">After I
dried my hands and face, I opened the bathroom door, only to feel someone grab
me by my upper arm and drag me off so fast, I didn’t realize what was

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">The room
was dark, except for the moonlight coming in from a window on the other side.
As soon as my eyes adjusted, I could see I was in a long and narrow room with
some restaurant supplies. Standing in front of me was my blue-eyed
troublemaker. Now, he was holding me by the arm and he was close. Very close.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Truth time?
I loved the idea of this beautiful man coming after me. But I didn’t want him
to see that, to know the effect he had on my mind and body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">He hadn’t
earned it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">So I
covered desire with insolence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“What the
hell do you think you’re doing?” I barked at him, giving off as much attitude
as I could muster, which wasn’t easy because being this close meant I caught
his scent, and it was a mixture of musk and whisky. Pure man. Now I was even
more lightheaded than before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">His mouth
twitched, and I knew he’d caught me taking him in. “Babe, you know exactly what
I’m doin’.” He stepped even more into my space. “Tell me your name, gorgeous.
I’m not asking again.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">I took a
step back and placed one hand on the wall behind me to steady myself. “Lauren,”
I squeaked out. I cleared my throat and tried again. “I’m Lauren. And what’s
your name?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">A ghost of
a smile appeared and his velvet tongue slowly licked his bottom lip. “Plan on
screaming my name out when I make you come for me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Holy shit.
Did he just say that to me? My brain despised his arrogance, but my body
ignited, making my skin burn hot. My heartbeat accelerated, beating out of my
chest so loudly I wondered if he could hear it. I wanted him, badly, but I was
embarrassed that he knew it. One look at his self-assured mug told me all I
needed to know: he saw and he conquered and he never heard the word no. He
didn’t even have to pretend to woo a woman—just grab her and take what he
wanted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">And I was
twenty-seven years old, with wonderful friends and a great job, but a shit
track record when it came to men. Bad boys, like the one in front of me, may
have known how to work my body, but they had also bruised my heart and soul. It
was New Year’s Eve. Maybe my New Year’s resolution should have been no more men
since I obviously didn’t know how to find a good one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Fine,” I
grumbled. “I don’t need to know your name. In fact, I don’t need to know you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">I ripped my
arm out of his grasp and turned toward the door.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">I was just
about to place my hand on the doorknob when one of his steel arms surrounded my
waist and pulled me to him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Don’t go
yet, Lauren. Please.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">When I
heard him say my name and his quiet plea, any trace of anger just melted away.
My body relaxed against his and he moved my hair off my shoulder with his other
hand, tucking a stray strand behind my ear. A flood of wet desire invaded the
folds of my cleft when his soft lips grazed my skin, and then his mouth clasped
on my earlobe. My nipples hardened, and my breath came out erratically. My body
shivered because, somehow, this stranger knew exactly where to touch me to turn
me on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Lauren,”
he whispered. “We’re not done yet.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“I should
go, but…ohmygod, that feels really good,” I moaned, my body awakening from a
deep sleep. I couldn’t remember the last time someone had ignited my desire so
fast. Every sweep of his tongue on my skin burned me in the best possible way.
I pressed my back to his front and shimmied my bottom against his jeans-clad
erection. He sucked in a harsh breath, and I knew I was getting to him as much
as he was getting to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“You know
how I know we’re not done?” He practically growled against my skin. “Because I
haven’t made you come yet. And Lauren, I really need to make you come.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“I want…I
need you to.” I was practically panting now. “Make me come.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Then his
right hand roughly hoisted up my dress and his fingers plunged into my
underwear. They slid straight down and started playing with my clit, which was
swollen with need and heat. And goddamn, he had calloused fingertips, creating
the most delicious friction against my slick velvet core.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">I gasped
loudly as my head flew back, absorbing the trembling waves those circling
fingers were making by touching me so perfectly. I let out a low moan and
turned my head in his direction and he immediately seized my mouth with his,
sucking me into him, devouring me with every pull of his lips.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“That’s it,
baby,” he growled. “Fuck, you are so wet for me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">He
increased his pace, speaking into my ear in a low rumble.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Noticed
you the second you walked in here.” He plunged two fingers deep into me while
circling my clit with his thumb. I let out a whimper that vibrated through me,
and if he hadn’t been holding me up, my legs would have given way. “Heard you
sassing my bartender, showing off your fucking gorgeous tits, walking around
like you owned the place. And I knew I had to have me a taste.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Just then
he stopped rubbing and something between a cry and a mew escaped me. I opened
my eyes in time to see him taking the two fingers that had just been inside me
into his mouth, tasting my juices on his tongue. It was the hottest thing I’d
ever seen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Suddenly he
turned me around to face him, lifting my dress again and tugging down my
panties. My back was now against the door as he dropped to his knees in front
of me and buried his face between my legs, rolling his tongue through my folds
and sucking on my clit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Mind-numbing
pleasure radiated throughout my body, and I wove my fingers through his hair,
which was just as soft and touchable as it had looked from far away. He pushed
into me and lifted my legs off the floor and over his shoulders. His tongue
flickered lightning hot and fast over my nub and my hips gyrated in response,
as I lost all inhibition. His fingers clawed the cheeks of my ass as my hands
fisted his hair. I was dancing right on the edge, so close to coming, and then
he sucked hard on my clit, turning my low moans into a fevered scream of
ecstasy. My orgasm crashed over me, sending me off the edge and into floating
weightlessness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Then he
moved, placing my feet gently on the ground, and with that, the realization of
what just happened ripped through my endorphin-filled haze. I had just let a
complete stranger touch and taste me in the most intimate way possible. And I
didn’t even know his name.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

She sipped her citrus martini, and as she brought the glass down, she licked her lips and glanced at her target. He actually flinched, the hunger in his eyes darkening. Barely enough for anyone to notice, but she did. She ran her hand up and down her neck, closing her eyes for a minute. When she opened them to look his way again, he had already started to walk in her direction. No, he didn’t walk; he actually strutted like a man on a mission. </span></div>

Calm. Sensual. Like a boss. </span></div>

Damn, could he be more perfect? Immediately, she glanced at his hand that revealed several tattoos peeking out of his jacket hem, from his wrist all the way down to his fingers. No ring. Thank God. </span></div>

I kind of liked the unusual first encounter. Not that I want you to choke, but I was ready to save you.” He braced his tattooed hand against the wall behind her, moving closer. His manly smell was soapy, with a hint of wood. </span></div>

He didn’t say anything for a long time, just studied her and then rolled on the heels of his feet. “Who are you?”</span></div>

But her excitement turns to horror when the gorgeous bachelor turns out to be her ex-boyfriend, Brad. Should she reunite with him or take a chance on hunky cameraman Evan?</li>
<li style="margin: 0.5em 0em;"><em>Stuck on You</em>: If being forced to team up with reality TV's favorite bad girl wasn't enough, falling for her partner's brother might just make this treasure-hunting reality show a real nightmare for Paige Anderson. But an alliance with Jack Miles might lead to more than just winning the prize . . .</li>
<li style="margin: 0.5em 0em;"><em>Lost Without You</em>: Reality TV diva Zoe Oliver is used to putting up a good front, but she isn't thrilled to rough it in the woods without indoor plumbing and electricity - and with producer Chip Carmack. When her secrets are revealed on camera, she worries she'll lose everything - including her chance at redemption and the affections of the only man she's ever trusted with her heart.</li>
