I have a craving.

A dark urge I’ve failed to resist despite years of trying to do that very thing.

I’ve forced myself to hide behind a mask, a perfect orchestration to hide my true self.

After I met her, my wants and needs, my inner most desires changed.

She encouraged me to embrace who I truly am, and she was willing to do anything and everything I wanted, giving herself to satisfy my most carnal appetite.

Then everything in my carefully managed world came crashing down around me. A moment in time, a loss of control, and the very thing I cherish was nearly taken from me.

My fate now lies in her hands.

The very life I’ve built for myself…everything I’ve ever done now waits in purgatory, all caused by a lack of focus at a time when my most concentrated attention was needed.

The very thing I crave may now be the end of me.

Excerpt

There’s that word again.

Genuine.

The same word that kept coming back to me all night. Lucia Harding came across as nothing but genuine. Her reactions, her body language, the way she spoke of her brother, the restaurant, and an apparent love of classic design principles. Her laugh, her smile—everything about her was genuine. Real.

Fuck!

“Besides, don’t you need a date to that charity baseball game next weekend? I know you love me, but somehow I think Lucia would look better on your arm than I would. She’d definitely look better in a dress.” I roll my eyes, happy in the knowledge that he can’t see me do it because of the shit he’d give me. However, he’s not wrong about the dress.

“You think you’re funny, don’t you?”

“I know I am. And anyway, it’s not like I called Mrs. Alexander last night and suggested she start planning the wedding and ordering nursery expansion plans, is it?”

“Grant, there’s nothing to talk about. Especially not to my mother. Jesus!”

“Tut tut, Callum Matthew Alexander. Whatever would Father Duncan say if he heard you take the Lord’s name in vain?”

“He’d whack me around the ear then make me say about a hundred Hail Marys.” I grin to myself at the thought. “But then again, if I told him you made out with Marilyn Tompkins in the boys’ restroom, I think you’d come off second best. Just a hunch,” I add.

“You don’t play fair,” he retorts.

“Never claimed to be a saint, my son,” I say with a laugh.

“Hell! Far from it, with the kind of dirty dreams you have. That’s half the fun though, isn’t it?” And there it is. Like a Mack truck to my chest.

“Grant,” I growl. “Let’s not ruin the nice morning I’m having.”

“Did you have a choke ‘n’ stroke in the shower or something?”

He laughs in my ear, and I have to brake suddenly, almost running through a red light. “On that note, since you almost made me kill myself and possibly a few others, we’ll end this call and I’ll see you in the office.”

He sniggers and I release the breath I was holding, shaking my head at him even if he can’t see me. We know each other’s good, bad and downright ugly. Twenty years of friendship has to count for something, including not getting offended with whatever comes out of each other’s mouths.

“Dude, I didn’t mean—”

“Grant, never done a choke ‘n’ stroke, before so I’ll have to take your word for it. See you at the office.”

“Hey now, I never said—”

I push the end button and burst out laughing. I may be serious and I’m more than aware of my propensity to come across as overly intense, but never let it be said that I can’t hold my own in what could easily have turned into an awkward conversation.

What people are saying about Crave

“This book for me was B.J Harvey at her finest. If you like a story that is sexy dark heartfelt intense at times and with an element of mystery then you definitely need to read this book.”

“Crave kept me so enthralled, I found it hard to put the book down. Totally in love with Callum & Lucia. Thrilling ride, I can’t wait for more!”

“These two together were perfection. Even when things didn’t look to good for them, I knew they could surpass anything. But this story is not just about a love story. There’s sabotage, angst, jealousy, slander, violence…so many feelings and events. I just loved everything about this book!”

“At first glance Crave looked like a book about two characters battling with their intense sexual desires and falling in love. However, This book was so much more in every way.”

“This book is dark and erotic all wrapped up in a very well told package. It provides a great tension-filled read that gives a glimpse into the lives of two very determined people who have an intense attraction for each other. The action is solid, the pacing terrific and there is a cast of very intriguing characters.”

“Let me start by saying, I have never read anything by B.J. Harvey before. Now, I am wondering why… Crave was everything you want in a book. Humor, hotness, alpha male, strong female and suspense. There were twist and turns that kept me guessing. Love so strong that you can feel it from the pages.”

“There are so many added levels to this book and they just keep jumping out at you. I’ve never read a BJ Harvey book but after this one I am def a huge fan!”

Dirty Billionaire

I’ve got a big dick and an even bigger bank account. That’s pretty much where my bio ends.
Honestly, I don’t need to say anything else. I’ve just sold 99% of women on going home with me.
Do I sound like an asshole to you?
That’s because I am.
And guess what? It works for me just fine.
Or at least it did.
Until I met her.
Books talk about sparks flying. Fuck that shit. With her, it was like emergency flares mixed with jet fuel. Or maybe just straight up napalm.
Only one problem.
She wouldn’t tell me her name or her number when she disappeared from the hotel room after the hottest fucking night of my life.
Now I’ve had a taste of unicorn pussy—the sweetest, rarest of all pussy—and I need it again.
So what’s an asshole to do?
I took this problem to the street. A missed connection gone viral.
And when I find her? I’m keeping her.

Holly

COUNTRY STAR JC HUGHES CAUGHT BETWEEN A COCK AND A HARD PLACE

How is he going to explain this one away to girlfriend Holly Wix and his fans?

“That two-timin’ son of a . . .”

I hiss under my breath as I stare at the headline—and the compromising picture accompanying it—splashed in vivid color across the front page of the gossip rag displayed prominently in the checkout line at my supermarket. For the second time in two months, it’s a picture of my “boyfriend” locked in an unmistakably passionate embrace with another woman, except this time she’s wearing a giant black strap-on.

The edges of the paper crumple in my sweaty grip, and I fight the urge to tear it to shreds, along with every copy sitting on the rack in front of me.

He’s going to destroy my career before it even has a chance to become a reality.

One year, they said. One year in this joke of a “relationship” and I’d earn my stripes, be all set in the world of country music. Judge me all you want for agreeing, but when your brand-new record label puts something like that in the contract that will jet you out of the backwoods town you’re dying to escape, you don’t ask questions. You sign on the dotted line.

But reality is a cold slap in the face, and some days it hits you when you’re standing in line at the grocery store. What happens when they finally catch JC with a guy? His habit of swinging both ways, but preferring men to women, is about to become the worst-kept secret in Nashville.

I’m Holly Wix, winner of a make-me-a-star TV show, and handpicked by the label to buoy JC’s once-impressive but now flagging career. It didn’t seem like a big deal when they slipped it into my contract in the beginning. What starry-eyed girl wouldn’t be thrilled to have her name linked to a country star?

Instead of the one-way ticket to stardom I naively expected, I’m becoming the butt of every industry joke faster than the guys back home can spend their paycheck on twelve-packs and scratch-offs. But I’ve got one shot at keeping this dream career alive, and honestly, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to save it. So this situation with JC needs to get settled before things spiral further out of control.

Series: Decadence After Dark, Book 4

Author: M.Never

Cover Designer: Cover Me Darling

Genre: Dark Erotic Romance

Goodreads TBR

Synopsis

Tell me a secret…

CJ Carmichael hasn’t been able to get the vivacious blonde he spent four delirious days with off his mind. The blonde who was completely off-limits, but he couldn’t deny.

Tell me a secret….

CJ had no intention of pursuing her, but Tara Stevens knew what she wanted and it was him. Now six months later, their time together still haunts him. As much as he’s tried to talk himself out of seeing her again, the craving is just too powerful.

Tell me a secret…

Tara is more than willing to spend an entire fantasy weekend with CJ. More than willing to hand herself over to him completely and fulfill his every desire. More than willing to pretend he owns her despite their age difference and Kayne’s disapproval.

Tell me a secret…

Sometimes fantasy becomes a reality. Sometimes people fall in love before they even know it- before they even know each other- and after its too late.

Tell me a secret…

Sometimes, beneath the sweetest secrets are the most deceptive lies.

Excerpt

I let her rest as I take off my clothes. Once I’ve discarded my shirt and pants, I take the liberty of removing her underwear. What little is left of the stretched out, saturated material. “Don’t get comfortable. We’re not done yet.” I pull her up by the hand.

“I never said anything about being done.” She peers up at me. Round two is right around the corner.

“I missed that mouth.” I run my thumb along her bottom lip. “What else did you miss?” She flutters her eyelashes.

“Your eyes.” Tara looks up at me surprised. Not the answer she was expecting?

“I missed your laugh,” she tells me timidly. “And the way you used to make me laugh.”

“Can I tell you a secret?” I ask, holding her chin. Tara nods. “I missed that, too. The most. I promise while I’m here, I’ll make you laugh as much as I make you come.”

“That sounds good to me.” I pull her to her feet and kiss her crazily. Running my hands through her hair until it’s a mess and our bodies are as close as they can possibly be.

“Go lean on the windowsill,” I tell her headily. Along the entire length of the windows in the bedroom is a ledge about a foot and a half deep. “Leave the boots on.”

Tara smiles puckishly. “You like?”

I grab the top part of the black boot that reaches halfway up her thigh. “I love. And I’m going to love them even more when I’m fucking you in them.” I tug roughly, kissing her. “Go.”

Author Interview

ABC: Hi M! Thank you for stopping by Alpha Book Club during your release celebration

of “Lie With Me” – Book 4 In The Decadence After Dark Series.

This series is just over a year old with Owned being published _October_ 2014, then

closely followed by Claimed in March, Ruined in June and Now Lie With Me. Tell us how

you have managed to turn out 4 books in such a short amount of time and what inspired

you to write about the world of dark erotica?

M.Never:”Passion and love for these characters drives me. I want to spend as much time with

them as the reader does. Writing quickly is a win/win for both of us!”

II

ABC: Do you ever get writer’s block or have trouble telling one of your characters

stories?

M.N.: Yes. And when that happens I just step back and give it a few days to pass. Sometimes
during those periods I use the time to line up release schedules and future projects. I’m always

thinking months into the future.

ABC: We know you love to write and according to your bio kickboxing and sushi, tell us

something you enjoy doing that nobody knows?

M.N: I love yoga as well. I try to do it every morning even if it’s for ten minutes. It’s my Jett side.

Lol

ABC: You have to have a supportive spouse since you are clearly an Alpha Female.

Does he ever get to help you research the bedroom scenes?

M.N.: Lmao….maybe. I can definitely tell you that I use real life to inspire me…. I’ll leave it at

that.

ABC: For people who know you in real life and know you write dark erotica, what has

been the scene out of all 4 books that has shocked them the most?!

M.N.: “The foursome for sure!”

ABC: What do you think readers are going to love and hate about Lie With Me?

M.N.: “I think they’re going to love CJ and just how fun and playful he is. I think the plot twists

are going to test the readers, but I really hope they don’t hate any of it!!”

ABC: Finally, Jett. When can we expect Jett? Spring, Summer, Fall? Do you think there

will be more to the series after you write Jett’s story??

M.N.: “I can’t confirm an exact date for Jett, I just know it will be in 2016 sometime. And as of

right now, the series will end with his story.”

ABC: Okay, thank you so much for stopping by and answering our questions. I know

there are many fans who are so excited about the release of “Lie With Me” and even more

who simply want Jett, and more Kayne and Ellie! So I am going to give them this news,

and you go have a big glass of wine and a bubble bath you deserve a break! (Just not too

long of a break please, we want Jett’s story)

M.N.: Bye!!

The Kiss That Killed Me (The Tidal Kiss Trilogy) By Kristy Nicole ♥ Release Blitz

Title ~ The Kiss That Killed Me
Author ~ Kristy Nicolle
Series ~ The Tidal Kiss Trilogy – Book 1
Release Date ~ December 1, 2015Add to Goodreads

When Callie Pierce turns 18 she has three very simple goals: avoid her stepfather, escape to an Ivy League University of her dreams, and party with her friends. But on a night like any other, when the moon is full over the ocean, her life changes in a way that no one could have ever seen coming.

On the sandy beaches of San Diego she meets Orion, a man with whom she cannot stay away, to whom her return becomes as inevitable as the tide kissing the shore. If that isn’t enough, a kiss which changes everything plunges Callie head first into a world of mythic responsibility, epic danger, and heart stopping romance.

The Mer, an ancient race of warriors brought forth to defend the seas, show her the wonders beyond what is humanly possible, forcing her into an archaic chain of events that bring together power, seduction, violence, and beauty in a terrifying, yet exhilarating mix. Then there’s the Banished to contend with, a group of Psirens corrupted by the ocean’s abyss that stand to destroy the eternity Callie has been promised.

Will she sacrifice herself for the greater good, or is the gravity that pulls her to Orion just to great to bear?

“The sound I can hear is something ethereal,
calming, calling me. I listen in, letting it soothe my jumpy nerves for a few
minutes before my calm is broken as I hear something stir behind me. I turn,
but nobody is there. I hear it once again, the call, otherworldly, beautiful in
its own right. Is it the alcohol, or just my imagination this time? I swear I
hear it, that alluring chant, a melody of some kind calling my name, calling
me, just me, into its warm embrace. I am lost in the music, so lost that I
begin to hum, moving my head from side to side … so indulging the sound that it
comes as a complete surprise when someone taps me on the shoulder. I jump up, disoriented
and full of fear at the thought it may be some kind of rapist, whose watchful
stare was what made the hairs on the back of my neck rise earlier. Then as I
pivot to face the intruder, it hits me like a freight train.

It’s him. He’s the
one.”

Excerpt: Final Debt

“READY TO DIE, Nila?”

Cut’s voice physically hurt me as he forced me to my knees. The ballroom splendour mocked me as I bowed unwillingly at the feet of my executioner.

Velvet and hand-stitched crewel on the walls glittered like the diamonds the Hawks smuggled—a direct contrast to the roughly sawn wood and crude craftsmanship of the guillotine dais. No finesse. No pride. Just a raised podium, framework cushioning a large tarnished blade, and a rope dangling to the side.

“Don’t do this. Cut…think about what you’ve become. You can stop this.” My voice mimicked a beg but I’d vowed not to beg. I’d seen things, understood things, and suffered things I never thought I would be able to endure. I refused to cry or grovel. I wouldn’t give him that satisfaction.

“In five minutes, this will all be over, Weaver.” Cut bent to the side and collected a wicker basket.

The wicker basket.

I didn’t want to think about what its contents would be.

He placed it on the other side of the wooden block.

My lungs demanded more oxygen. My brain demanded more time. And my heart…it demanded more hope, more life, more love.

I’m not ready.

Not like this.

“Cut—”

“No. No more talking. Not after everything you’ve done.” Ripping a black hood from his pocket, he didn’t hesitate. No fanfare. No second guesses.

I cried out as the scratchy blackness engulfed my face, tightening by a cord around my throat.

The Weaver Wailer chilled me. The diamond collar that’d seen what I’d seen and whispered with phantoms of my slain family prepared to revoke its claim and detach from around my neck.

This was it.

The Final Debt.

Cut pushed my shoulders forward.

A heavy yoke settled over the top of my spine.

I closed my eyes.

I said goodbye.

…

I waited to die.

One Week Earlier

“NO!”

I pushed back, gripping the handrails of the private jet, throwing my weight against Daniel’s incessant pushing. “Stop!”

“Get up the fucking stairs, Weaver.” Daniel jabbed his elbow into my spine.

I stumbled, bashing my knee against the high tread. “You can’t do this!” How had this happened? How had mere hours turned the entire universe against me? Again.

I wanted to smash every clock. Tear out the cog from every watch.

Time had once again stolen my life.

Jethro!

Daniel cackled. “I think you’ll find we can.” He shoved me higher.

My heart hurt—as if every mile between us and Hawksridge was a blade slicing me further from Jethro’s protection—a disharmony in an already discorded symphony.

One moment, I’d been love-bruised and adored, tiptoeing back into the Hall; the next, I was trapped, forced to dress in jeans and a hoodie, and obey Daniel as he lurked in my doorway, barking orders to pack a few meagre belongings.

He hadn’t left me alone.

His eyes followed my every move. I couldn’t grab the gun I’d hidden thanks to Jasmine. I couldn’t text Jethro to tell him I’d been caught. All I could do was run around my room with my lover’s release still damp on my inner thighs and submit to my nemesis.

The only saving grace was beneath Daniel’s hateful stare, I’d managed to pack the clothing I’d altered a few weeks ago. The cuffs full of needles and hems armoured with tools of my seamstress trade. Those garments were my only hope. There was no loophole. No way to refuse.

I had to trust Jasmine would get word to Jethro. That he would come for me…

Before it’s too late.

The desolation I’d suffered when Daniel first caught me faded to indignant anger. I’d been so close to being free. I’d been in Jethro’s arms. I’d been away from his psychotic family. My heart hardened a little toward Jethro for making me go back.

Why? Why did you send me back?

I didn’t know if I’d have the courage to forgive him.

You know why. And you will. Of course, you will.

I couldn’t hate him because I wasn’t selfish. He’d sent me back to protect all of us. Those precious few who’d accepted him and he’d accepted in return. Love was the worst enemy, winding its commitment, ensuring no freedom when it came to clearheaded thinking of adversity.

Jethro loved too much. Felt too much. Suffered too much. And his siblings would be our downfall. Kestrel and Jasmine relied on him—just like I did. The responsibility of settling his family’s wrongs was a terrible burden to bear.

But he’s not alone.

I might’ve been stolen. Jethro’s plans to save me might be ruined. But I was still alive. Still breathing. I wasn’t the naïve girl who’d first arrived at Hawksridge. I was a woman in love with a Hawk. A Weaver who would draw Hawk blood.

It’s not over…

Pain exploded in my spine as Daniel stabbed me with his fist. “Get in the fucking airplane.”

“No!” I threw myself backward, looking frantically at the private hangar. We weren’t at Heathrow, but a small, private airfield called Turweston. “I won’t!”

No strangers I could call for help.

No police or air marshals.

When Daniel had stalked me from my room and shoved me outside, Cut had been waiting. With a victorious smile, he’d stuffed me in the back of a limousine.

With a purring engine, we’d pulled away from Hawksridge, tyres crunching on gravel as we followed the long driveway off the estate.

My eyes had scoured the trees, their silhouettes growing stronger as the sun tinted the sky with pink blushes. Daniel and Cut sat opposite me, toasting each other with a chilled bottle of champagne. However, I hadn’t been alone on my side of the limo—I had a guard.

Marquise, Bonnie’s damn henchman, sat beside me; a mountain of muscle, unyielding and impenetrable.

“Come along.” A strange voice raised my gaze.

A man in a captain’s uniform smiled from the top of the aircraft steps. The private plane’s fuselage glinted in graphite grey. Sparkling diamonds, inlaid in the shape of a windswept ribbon, decorated the tail.

“I don’t want to leave England.”

Daniel laughed behind me. “Like you have a choice.”

“I always have a choice, Buzzard.” I glowered over my shoulder. “Just like this choice of yours will not end well for you.”

If I don’t kill you, Jethro will.

As far as Daniel knew, his slain brother was supposedly rotting in some unmarked grave. Jethro was right. The element of surprise trumped any of Cut and Daniel’s grand delusions.

He snarled, “Watch it, bitch. Everything you say to me here will be paid in full when we’re there.”

“Now, now. No need for threats.” The captain climbed down a rung, holding out his hand. “She’ll get on board. Won’t you, my dear? No need to be afraid of flying. I have an exemplary record.” White hair tufted from either side of his pristine flying cap. In his mid-fifties, he looked fit and toned and impatient to take off.

“I can’t leave.”

I can’t be so far from Jethro.

The captain smiled, waving at his vessel. “Of course, you can. Plus, I bet you’ve never travelled in such style.”

“It’s nothing against your mode of transport. It’s the destination I disagree to. I’m staying here.” I dug my heels into the metal grate, fighting against Daniel’s perpetual pushing. “I don’t have my passport, visa… I can’t travel across borders, so you might as well let me return home.”

Home.

Had Hawksridge Hall become my home?

No, don’t be absurd.

But Jethro had. It didn’t matter where we ended up. What we did for work. How our lives panned out. As long as I was alive with Jethro by my side…I would be home.

“Don’t fuss about that.” The captain waved his hand in invitation. “Travel is good for the soul.”

Not my soul.

Travel meant my soul would become untethered from my body, thanks to Cut and the Final Debt.

The sun barely peeked over the horizon, hidden by soupy fog and reluctant night. The world refused to warm, unable to shed the morning frost or dislodge the claws of winter. England didn’t want to say goodbye as much as I did, its reluctant dawn wanting me to stay.

“If you don’t get on the motherfucking plane in two seconds, Weaver, you’ll live to regret it,” Daniel growled.

I glared at the youngest Hawk. “Haven’t you learned by now your threats don’t scare me?”

Forcing myself to stand taller, I hid the quaking in my bones, the quivering in muscles, the rampant terror scurrying in my blood. “I know where you want to take me, and I refuse.”

Daniel pinched the bridge of his nose. A second later, he cuffed me on the back of the head. “Behave!”

I gritted my teeth against the wash of agony.

“Almasi Kipanga is a fucking treat for the likes of you, Weaver. Get on your knees and show some goddamn appreciation. Otherwise, I’ll rip out your fucking tongue and ensure peace for the rest of the trip.”

“Ah, as I said, there’s no need for violence.” The captain took another step, prying my hand off the railing and tugging me upward. “Come along, my dear. Let’s get you inside. And don’t you worry about visas and things. Leave it to me. Airport control won’t be an issue.”

Vertigo cast the world in monochromatic greys as I swayed toward the captain. “But—”

Cut barrelled past Daniel—reaching the end of his patience. Grabbing my arse, he shoved me upward, forcing me like unwilling livestock up the final steps. “I have your passport, Nila. Get on the plane.” His breath skated over the back of my neck. “And don’t think about refusing again. Got it?”

Gripping the fuselage, I looked over my shoulder. “My passport? How did you—”

He waved a black binder in my face. “Everything is in here. You have no more excuses, and I won’t ask again. Get on the fucking plane or I’ll knock you out and you can wake up when we get there.”

Men of Mayhem ♥ Release Blitz

Title: Men of Mayhem (A Mafia Anthology)

Authors: J.L. Beck, Lisa Cardiff, J.L. Drake, Douglas Esper, E.J. Fechenda, Marita A. Hansen, Soraya Naomi, Ginger Ring, Amy Rachiele, Elle Raven, Sara Schoen, and Ashlee Taylor

Genre: Mafia/Mob Romance

Publisher: Limitless Publishing

Release Date: December 1, 2015

Sometimes the line between good and bad simply depends which side you’re on…

Good guys can have unsavory secrets, while so-called criminals can live by a code of ethics rivaling that of any law enforcement agency. Bending the law for money, power, or revenge is one thing, but what if you’re bending it for your family—for love?

Who would choose to become involved with a man who walks on the dark side…

Some men will go to any lengths, legal or not, and make no apologies to protect their way of life and all they hold dear. But you don’t always choose who you love, and sometimes you just have to decide if you’re bold enough to risk it all and go along for the ride.

Thirteen masterful authors come together to present Men of Mayhem.

Compelling stories of loyalty and passion, love and lust, in which the moral and ethical lines are blurred, and call into question the notions of right and wrong.

What could be more exciting than taking a leap of faith…and landing in the arms of the last man you’d expect—but the only one who truly makes you feel alive?

What if your road to happiness leads to…
