The secret’s out…

Fate has never been kind to Mia Lee, but her misfortune has driven

her to seek redemption from a past filled with regret.

Mia’s future depends on uncovering her past, but sadly, the answers

lay with her mother, a mother who abandoned Mia when she was only

a child.

Now that Mia has finally found her kin, she’s determined to get the

answers she so desperately seeks.

But those answers come with a price…

Mia’s blossoming relationship with Quinn Berkeley is the sole reason

she carries on. But Quinn has a secret of his own. Will his secret

destroy the one stable foundation in Mia’s life? And more

importantly, what will Quinn’s secret do to him once he confesses the

sins of his past?

Life for Mia and Quinn is about to explode in a way she never thought

possible…

Excerpt
Turning slowly to face him, I can see that his eyes are still
closed, but his mouth is tipped up into a smile which radiates freedom. I’ve
never seen him look so carefree. He looks as if his sins of the past are
washing away with the punishing rain.
I know it’s not that simple, but through pain and loss, we have
bonded together and gained strength. And that strength suddenly animates me to
tell Quinn how I feel.
“Quinn!” I scream to be heard over the harsh rain.
My eyes are mere slits, as the rain is so heavy, but the moment
Quinn opens his magnetic eyes, I see that he has changed. Something inside of
Quinn has shifted, and it’s beautiful.
“Quinn, I—” I repeat, my teeth chattering from the cold, but
also from what I’m about to confess.
“You what, Red?” he questions, running a hand through his wet
hair.
Another thunderbolt sizzles through the sky, and I yelp.
Charging into his arms, I slap my hands over his ears because I’m terrified. I
want to him tell him how I feel, but I’m afraid. Droplets of rain cascade down
his tender face, but he doesn’t stir to brush them away, and I know I have his
undivided attention as his gaze never wavers from my face.
This is not the way I wanted to do this, but I know that for
now, this will have to do.
“Quinn…I…I love you,” I whisper, my hands still sitting firmly
over his ears.
Once I say those three little words, the tightening in my chest
lessens, and a small smile tugs at my lips because I’ve never felt so boundless
with a decision. And nothing has ever felt so right before.

Marry me.

Two words Kalli Montgomery never expected to say out loud to Xavier Cruz, even though she’s been in love with the sexy, single father for as long as she can remember. Unfortunately, she hasn’t just been friend-zoned for the past ten years. No, even worse, he’s treated her like a little sister, no matter how hard she tried to prove she could be so much more. When she agrees to spend the summer as the caregiver for his daughter, Lily, she knows it’s her last chance to finally make him take notice.

As unexpected circumstances threaten to disrupt his home life, Xavier’s desperate to keep his family together. He’ll do whatever it takes, even if it means marrying a woman he doesn’t love. For Xavier and Lily, Kalli will do just about anything, even at the risk of getting her heart broken in the process.

Little does she know, sometimes love isn’t quite as unrequited as one may think. Xavier sees her-he always has. And the vow he made all those years ago never to go there with his best friend’s little sister is wavering, and it’s wavering fast. When they come up with a plan that leads to wedding bells, it’s a no brainer.

This marriage of convenience has one rule: absolutely no falling in love.

Easier said than done. Throw together a girl who believes rules are meant to be broken, and a man whose whole career revolves around following orders and you get a recipe for disaster. What could possibly go wrong?

Intoxicate Teaser 1

 

Excerpt

Shooting a glare at him, I throw my hands up in exasperation. “Are you telling me that this whole anticipation thing is one-sided? Is it that easy for you to resist? I really need to step up my game.”

Xavier’s eyes fall to my lips for a quick moment before he looks back up at me. I see the desire in his expression, and without him even saying a word, I know he wants this, too. So why is he making me wait?

“You have no idea how much I want to kiss you right now. How many times I’ve thought of doing just that. Every time you were curled up against me on the couch, I wanted to kiss you. Every morning when you showed up, I wanted to kiss you. Every time you said goodnight to Lily and then slipped out my door? I wanted to kiss you before you left. It’s not a new development. The first time I ever saw you, Kalli, I wanted to kiss you. And I’ve wanted to ever since.”

His admission floors me. He’s told me before that he “saw” me, but I had no clue it was from the very beginning. I’m not really sure how to process it. In fact, he beats me to the punch.

“So now you know. This will be just as hard for me, but it will be so damn worth it. Because when you’ve wanted something for as long as I’ve wanted you? It’ll be the best feeling in the world when I finally get it.”

“Our first kiss will be that epic?”

“A first kiss to rival them all,” he quips, grinning at me. He holds his arms out wide. “Now, we’ll start with a hug and work our way up.”

“I feel like I’m sixteen again,” I tell him as I wrap my arms around his waist.

His hands come down to my back and he gives me a big squeeze, my head pressing against his firm chest. I love this feeling of being in his arms, him holding me close. There’s nowhere on the planet I’d rather be than right here with him. As much as I want him, I know he’s right. I don’t care when it comes. Because when it does, our first kiss will be unforgettable.

His chest rumbles as he chuckles. He squeezes me tight one last time before letting me go. “And it’s only just the beginning,” he tells me. “Have a good night, crazy girl.”

Synopsis

I’m Devon Harper and there are only two certainties in my life:

1. I live to dance.

2. I’m a prostitute.

Do you know when your life is suddenly turned upside down? Setting in action a sequence of events, you never saw coming.

That’s what happened to me. My story is not a pretty one, nor is it your typical love story.

My world was rocked at 18 and again three years later.

My life is a series of let downs. The only constant in my life is dance. When unlikely ally, Enzo, enters my messed up life I start to believe that just maybe there’s hope for me yet. Trying to get a degree in dance and get out of prostitution might leave me with more to lose than before.

pink5pawstars

This is one read that is not for the faint at heart. If you have a hard time with rape or events that surround it I would tell you to think twice about taking this read on. If you can go in to this with an open mind you’ll do just fine. I was blown away by the power of this story. This one almost brought me to tears several times. I’m not easy to come to tears so it has to be a very emotional pull to do that to me.

Devon you just want to take and place her somewhere safe that no one can touch her. Everything that she has dealt with and things you could never image having to go through. What would take most people down brings her to a fighting point of never giving up. Even when she is at the lowest point she fights and fights hard.

Enzo comes in to Devon’s life at the start of the lowest point. He becomes her rock and shows her what she didn’t think existed in life, at least not for her. He fights just as hard if not harder to keep her.

I recommend this one to anyone that likes a dark emotional read. This is well written and the suspense is to die for!!

SYNOPSIS
Axton
a.k.a. Slice –
Slice is the President of the Selected Sinners MC. He lives a life of being an outlaw, and
believes the club motto, The Devil Looks After His Own,
to be true. Additionally, he believes if the club wanted a member to have an
Ol’ Lady, one would have been sewn on the front of their cut when they were patched in.


With his father serving a life prison sentence and
no idea of who his mother is, Slice is a loner and one of a dying breed of
outlaws who thumb their noses at the law, the government, and any expectation
society may have placed on them.
Avery
–
Avery Taylor traveled half way across the United
States to attend school and escape her religious overbearing mother. Now a
senior in college, she yearns to live a life opposite of the one she has lived
to date; under the thumb of her strict parents.


Avery believes she wants a bad boy; someone who can
take charge of her in-your-face personality, harsh mouth, and take no sh*t
attitude. Working in a bar part time as a bartender, she’s shocked one night
when the Selected Sinners MC comes in
for a drink.


Her shock turns to lust when Slice walks in.

 
But she has no idea how bad of a bad boy Slice truly
is.

rides. Tall and lean with a cleanly shaven head and covered in tattoos, he
doesn’t blend in well. After reading his writings, this makes perfect sense.

stand out as much as he does. 



Willing to discuss matters at length most people

abuse, suicide, alcoholism, drug abuse, cancer, divorce, homosexuality,
religion, and lack thereof.

Wichita, Kansas his home. He is a proud father, and lives devoted to the love
of his life, Jessica. When he isn’t writing, he may be found on his motorcycle
or in a local coffee house.

“I’m surrounded by my family. I’ve been their protector, counselor, and leader. I was forced to be strong for them. But now, it’s my time to be strong for myself.” ~ Reggie Evans
Five years later…

The Evans family has experienced their share of heartache and trauma. Individually, each has faced the darkest days from their past to move forward with their lives. Today, they are stronger than ever. They have discovered the strength to move forward. Survive anything. Endure all.

Each Evans brother has moved past the turmoil surrounding Presley’s death and Jeremy’s incarceration, finding the love of their life and living in happiness for the last five years. Together, they have grown, wounds have mended, and there is nothing standing in the way of their promising futures. That is, until a villain from years ago comes from the shadows, upsetting the family’s blissful existence.

Once again, the family is divided, each brother forced to evaluate how crucial it is for them to stay together in Sulfur Heights or face the reality of leaving to survive on their own.

Everlasting Love is ultimately what the Evans brothers have been searching for their entire lives, but will it be the path fate has planned?
**Mature Content Warning: 17 years and older for language and sexual content.**

Excerpt

My insides are boiling from my adrenaline-filled rage. I never suspected Jake really felt the way he does. Stabbing myself in the eye would feel ten times better than the pain of his words. I couldn’t believe he said that, yet I could. Jake has always been an asshole; however, this takes the cake. The moment he spoke his true inner feelings, all I saw was red. He doesn’t consider me his brother, only a stray Reggie saved.

Reggie moves to my side and puts his hand on my forearm, squeezing hard enough for me to take notice. I glance up to his face, and it’s painfully obvious he was also hurt by Jake’s words. Reggie is probably internalizing it and blaming himself for this moment, but I think it’s good everything is out in the open.

Jake is always quite candid when he’s drinking; I’m just surprised it took so long for the words to fall out of his mouth. However, I’m glad his true feelings are out. Now we can really move on from this night, and the night will be known as the one the Evans brothers became no more.

Reggie clears his throat, as if he’s trying to swallow down the fury that’s settled inside his body. “Jake,” he says in a quiet, deep tone, “I think it’s time to leave.”

“You’re kicking me out?” Jake is baffled. He tucks his flask back into his pocket before approaching Reggie. “Fine, I will leave. I always knew you were a pussy. You could never stand up to her… or him, for that matter.” Jake shoulders past Reggie, snags Delilah’s arm, and walks from the garage, shouting to her to get the kids as he moves to his car and sits in the passenger seat.

I stand at the threshold of the door and look at my brother. I’m really not mad anymore. I feel sorry for him. He’s defaulting to truly harmful words to make the rest of us feel as bad as he does. In fact, he’s acting like a child. Jake’s always been dramatic, so I guess I should have expected nothing less. Yet what he said is unforgettable. I’m not sure how forgiving I can be after hearing what he said. The hateful words will always be in the back of my mind.

Zoe and Delilah file down the back steps with all the kids in tow. Delilah quickly ushers them to the car and straps them in as Jake continues to stare me down, taking small sips from his flask. He doesn’t know it yet, but he’s about to lose everything he has unless he has a come-to-Jesus meeting with himself and changes how he treats Delilah. If she were smart, she wouldn’t stick around for the aftermath of this night. Jake is bound to be intolerable.

Delilah falls into the driver’s seat and backs away from the house as we all stand in the driveway, watching them drive off. I know Reggie feels like he’s watching his family leave for the last time. ~Drake Evans
