revenge…and he knows just how to get it.

Destruction…
You can’t shatter a heart if it’s already broken.
She’s beautiful and smart, but behind every forced smile,
Blue Hamilton died a little more inside.
After suffering years of abuse by the one she loved,
Blue packed her bags and left town, vowing to never return.
Three years later, everything started falling into place when
Blue’s world is suddenly flipped upside down,

or runs into the arms of the forbidden,
praying to make it out alive.
His striking personality and toned, muscular body

has never been able to let his walls down and live,
until Blue walks through the door.
Promising to keep her safe from the destruction of her past,
Stone does everything in his power to live up to his word,
no matter the cost.

secrets are revealed,
and when the truth finally comes to surface,
two innocent lives are forced through a whirlwind of suffering and pain.
What happens when Blue finds out the truth behind Stone’s corrupted past?
Can she forgive him and move on once the damage is done?
Or will she walk away for good, refusing to look back?
Follow this compelling journey of love, loss and survival.
If everyone makes it out alive, it will be a miracle.
Excerpt
The picture of life is black and white, plain and simple. People were either happy or sad, angry or laughing, loved or hated. There wasn’t an in-between.
Some might have thought I lived a decent life. I put on a pleasurable front; laughing a lot, smiling often. Trying my damnedest to make everyone happy. I forced myself into the world, yearning for companionship, seeking immeasurable love.
I’d fix myself up, striving for acceptance, determined to have a good time. However life behind the tainted walls of my destructive shadow was a complete different story.
No one knew the real me.
The true Blue Hamilton.
I was a broken shell in the big blue sea just floating by.
Tormented.
Wrecked.
Anguished.
My heart had been shattered into a million pieces. Untraceable. My soul was damaged beyond repair. Undefinable. And the very thing others called life had been utterly wrecked.
Fear ate at me like a starved monster, pulling me apart piece by piece. It sucked the life out of me, draining every ounce of hope imaginable. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to turn. No one understood my sufferings and pain. Had someone stood by my side through all the turmoil and destruction, things might have turned out differently. I highly doubted it, though. Because if I knew anything about myself; I was destined to suffer. It was inevitable.
I just wanted be loved, to feel loved, but I guess that was too much to ask for.
I didn’t seek a distasteful pity party, or want others feel sorry for me. That’s why I kept my past to myself. The last thing I needed was to be judged off things I’d been through, things that wrecked me completely.
Only God knew the ways I’d suffered, the ways I’d lost, and even He became questionable at times. Did I believe there was an eternity? A Heaven and hell? Of course. I knew there had to be something more than what I had been living, something worth fighting for. I just couldn’t figure out exactly what. Faithfully I prayed my steps would be ordered by the Lord. I asked God to direct me, to guide me and help me, but something always got in the way every time I saw a little ounce of light.
I gave everything I had, everything in me to show those close to me that I cared. But just like everyone else in this crooked world, I had to learn the hard way; you can’t make someone love you, no matter what you do.
After reflecting on all I had been forced through, and how the situations dragged me down, somewhere along the line I gave up. I wasn’t sure if it really mattered, anyway. People like me didn’t deserve happiness. If anything, we woke every morning and walked the thin, dotted line, praying to make it through the day.
That was all I strived for….
Survival.

Autumn By Christopher Scott Wagoner ♥ Promo Blitz
Standard
FOREVER AUTUMN
Life’s going well for Steven Borgia. Sure, he may not be a famous professional wrestler like his father, the legendary Deathslayer, but he has carved out a niche for himself as a beloved kindergarten teacher in New York City. There’s just one thing missing: someone special to share his life with.
When Steve meets the sharp-tongued Autumn—a big wrestling fan—he’s mesmerized by her sarcastic and bold personality. Feisty and foul-mouthed, she seizes life by the throat and refuses to let it go. They may seem like opposites at first, but they complement each other very well. After all, differences make good sparks, and there are plenty of sparks both in and out of the bedroom.
Steve’s new happiness is threatened, however, when Autumn’s life is in jeopardy. Only her estranged father can save her, and he’s nowhere to be found. Can Steve and his bizarre assortment of friends and family reconcile the two before tragedy strikes?
Hilarious and heartwarming, Forever Autumn takes you on a journey that will tickle you in more ways than one.
Steve meets Autumn for the first time.
When he was a few people from the front, he could hear the barista’s voice as she attempted to handle a complicated order.
“Vanilla Latte, double shot espresso, extra large,” she said, her voice fraught with stress.
“No,” said the angry heavyset man at the front of the line. “Vanilla steamer, one shot of espresso, extra large.”
“Sorry, sir,” she said, “I’m new here.”
Steve strained to see the barista’s face, but the fat man was nearly as tall as he was, and she was granted total concealment by his corpulent mass.
“Sorry doesn’t fix it,” said the man, turning away from her with his drink wedged between pudgy fingers. “I intend to speak with the manager about this!”
The man left, people shrinking to get out of his way. Steve was able to see the barista at last. His breath caught in his throat. She had black hair done up in pigtails that cascaded down her slim shoulders. Her eyes were a soft, rich brown, with a slight almond shape to them. Her tan complexion was even and attractive, from her dark brows past her thin, roman nose and down to her wide, feminine lips. She had a metal hoop pierced through her right eyebrow, and a golden stud gleaming over one nostril. The black sweater she wore under her red coffee house apron had the sleeves rolled up the elbows, revealing several tattoos. He could only see her from the waist up, but she had moderately large breasts which strained against the layers of fabric atop them.
The girl took two more orders while Steve stood enthralled. When it was his turn he was still staring at her. She raised an eyebrow, finally heaving an exasperated sigh and asking;
“Can I help you, or are you just trying to catch flies with your mouth?”
“Huh?” he said, sputtering. “Oh, sorry!”
He quickly moved to the counter, offering her a nervous smile. She glanced back at him, one eyebrow arched, as he continued to stare.
“This is the part where you tell me your order,” she said sarcastically.
“What?”
“Your order?” she said. “You know, you, as the consumer, tell me, as the barista, what you want to drink and I make it for you. Are you a foreigner?”
“A foreigner?” he said, his voice breaking.
“No, you speak English too good,” she said. “Are you autistic or something, like Rain Man?”
“Uh, no,” he said with a slight chuckle.
“Then what’s the hold up?”
“Sorry,” he said, “I’ll have the usual.”
“That’s great,” she said with mock sincerity “except that I’m new here and have no frame of reference as to what your ‘usual’ is.”
“Oh,” Steve said, “a large Colombian dark, with four sugars and six creams.”
“Holy crap,” she said with a short bark of laughter, “you even like the taste of coffee?”
“I’m in a coffee shop, ain’t I?” said Steve, growing perturbed.
“Yeah,” she said, preparing his order, “you are at that.”
She put the cup on the counter and eyed him expectantly.
“This is where you pay.” she said.
“Oh, right.” Steve dug in his front pocket. Change spilled out of his hand and onto the counter. He cursed as he strove to collect the pieces of silver as they rolled around at his feet. The barista snickered as he frantically bent over, his butt facing toward her. The frustrated patrons behind him were giving him dark glowers. Had he not been so large a fellow, no doubt some may have been moved to verbally berate him.
“You fucked up,” said Autumn in a singsong, sports fanatic way, “you fucked up, you fucked up!”
Several of the people behind Steve in line gasped, horrified that a sales clerk would curse so readily in front of customers, particularly in such a mocking manner. Steve, however, was overcome with laughter, actually dropping more of his change in his mirth.
“Old ECW chant,” he said, finally giving her the correct amount. “Nice! Haven’t heard that since back in the day.”
“You like wrestling?” said Autumn, filling an umbra paper cup with dark coffee.
“Yeah,” said Steve, “I actually used to be one, for a little while.”
“Really?” said the woman, slapping a plastic lid on the cup with some awkwardness, “you don’t seem the type…what made you quit?”
“Well,” said Steve, collecting his coffee and a hand full of condiments “I-”
“Yo, buddy,” said a man in a flannel vest a few spaces behind Steve, “flirt on your own time! I gots to get to work!”
Several others, emboldened by the tubby man, added their voices to the chorus.
“Uh,” said Steve, staring into the woman’s eyes. He again found himself lost in them, not quite sure knowing why, or caring. “Uh, I-”
“Sorry sugar,” said the woman with a wink, staring past him at the next customer, “I gotta earn my bread. My name’s Autumn, in case you can’t read my nametag, and that’s Autumn like the season, not Auggie like the hideously deformed kid from Wonder, you dig? I work most Tuesdays and Thursdays, so come in and say hey if you want. Or not.”

He is rumored to enjoy Professional Wrestling, cartoons, and jokes that fall on the ‘offensive’ side.

Heat Level: Sensual
Synposis
When a legendary predator decides prize horses should be on his menu, Kate takes the advice of her neighbor ranchers and hires a big game hunter to track the mountain lion and remove the threat. The hunter arrives to take up the trail, but instead of the seasoned older man she expects, he’s young and impossibly sexy.
Freshly back from deployment to Afghanistan as a special forces operative, Jakob needs to clear his head of the horrors of war. When his uncle dies, Jakob steps in to fulfill the older man’s commitment to hunt down a mountain lion on the other side of the state. The prospect of several days in the wilderness with only his horses and dogs for company sounds like the ideal opportunity. Except the infuriating female rancher insists on going along for the ride.
Excerpt
Jakob lay awake a long time despite being exhausted. His mind refused to let go of the puzzle of Kate Holt. Everything about her intrigued him, from her innocent responses to his advances, to the way she suddenly went cold in the blink of an eye. He looked forward to the chance to observe and study her, to learn all those intricacies.
When he finally slept, dreams of a woman with long dark hair and light eyes tormented him through endless scenes, tempting him beyond reason. Mercurial moods went from hot to cold in a flash, leaving him desperate for more. Waking in the pre-dawn with his heart pounding and a raging hard-on striving toward orgasm warned of a short temper for the day ahead. Sexual frustration was so not his best mood.

Genre: Contemporary Romance

How do you trust someone who is everything
you’re trying to avoid?
Harper Lindell is
having a bad day. You know, if a bad day consists of getting fired from your cushy
job and then catching your boyfriend red handed playing hide the salami.
Sick of meeting the same guys over and over, Harper
decides to try her luck at Internet dating. How bad could it be? Right?
Tate Washington
wasn’t looking to meet anyone. Still dealing with the consequences of his one
serious relationship, all he’s interested in is revamping his family’s behind-the-times
café.
He didn’t plan on seeing the beautiful receptionist
from Argo again, walking into his life to use his café as a dating hub, and using him
as a BFF.
Can Harper really trust Tate, who is everything she
thinks she needs to steer clear of?
Can Tate wait while Harper works through her
insecurities and fears?
Excerpt
Tate chuckles as he picks up a tomato and throws it
to me. Thanking my quick reflexes, I catch it mid-air.
“Here, cut those,” he says, gesturing to the pile of
tomatoes already stacked on the bench next to where he is preparing bacon.
I pop the tomato down and head to wash my hands.
Once I return to the counter, Tate approaches me with an apron and wraps his arms
around me as he ties the strings in front. We get stuck into it and work in
companionable silence for the next few minutes.
“I’m sorry about the other day,” he says, not pausing
for a second from the bacon he is cutting.
“I know,” I respond.
“I’m glad we’re okay.”
“Me, too.”
Silence descends once more, and we continue our
tasks before Tate speaks again. “The other day, you said how you’ve never felt an
instant connection with someone before.”
“Yeah?” I ask warily, wondering if I freaked him
out.
“I didn’t get to tell you that I feel the same. When
we’re together, it feels right.”
“Yeah … it does.”
Even though we don’t mention another thing about
it, the silence doesn’t come again as the shots keep flowing and the music on the old
radio gets louder and louder. We are laughing and carrying on and there is more
‘accidental’ touching on both sides.
‘Black Widow’ by Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora flows
through the speakers and I sigh in happiness. “I love this song.” I leave my tomatoes
behind to shake my hips all over the kitchen to the beat, singing along with the
lyrics.
Warmth covers my back as two strong hands land
on my hips. Tate pushes into me from behind and moves his hips along with my own
or forces my hips to move along with his—I’m not sure.
“You’re so fucking sexy, Harper,” he whispers into
my ear. “I won’t be able to keep this friendship platonic if you keep shaking your ass
like that in my kitchen.” His warm breath flows over my collarbone as he nuzzles my
neck and goosebumps break out across my skin. Tate must notice as he lifts his head
and slowly peppers small, light kisses along the crease of my shoulder.
My head rolls back onto his shoulder, and my body
liquefies at the intimate and sensual touch. He’s breaking down my walls. My
common sense. He’s slowly softening me, melting me so he can mould me as he
pleases, and it’s working.
As the realisation hits me, I jump out of Tate’s arms,
grab hold of his hand, and pull him to the middle of the kitchen. I smile seductively
at him and wink. “I’ll just have to keep you in line and focused then.”
He throws his head back and laughs, allowing me to
ignore the moment and lead him around the centre workbench as we shake,
shimmy, and wiggle to ‘Shake it Off’ by Taylor Swift, which is now playing on the
stereo.
Wherever You Will Go (Try Again, #1)

he knew what to do with.
After losing her husband Brooke insists on taking
over his company to keep his dreams alive. Struggling in an industry she knows
nothing about, Brooke turns to Saxon, her husband’s best friend and business
partner, for guidance and support. Their mutual grief, and Saxon’s need to look after
his best friend’s wife, creates a connection beyond just business.

life without saying goodbye to the past? Can Saxon protect and care for Brooke
without scaring her away?
