 Love At First Glance

Blurb:
 
Haven HATES Mondays.
She loathes them.
Especially this Monday. 
This is the Monday that’ll change her life, but will it be for better or worse?
At first glance, it’s seems to be for the worst. Losing her job, boyfriend and supposed friend is not how Haven envisaged her week starting. Temporarily living with her best friend, Spencer, is not how she envisaged spending her week and a new job is not what she expected to look forward to the following week.
Things start to look up for Haven. Despite the nasty delivery, her life is taking a new turn that she embraces and loves. She finds a new job and a place to live that are perfect for her. Everything seems to be going well but little things creep up and destroy the one thing she cherished the most and can’t live without.
 
It was a shaky start but her professional life is going in the direction she’s always wanted. If only she could say the same about her love life. After a failed long-term relationship, a blind date who is just like any guy you’d meet in a bar and a manwhore of a neighbour, she’s left thinking that it’s time to open the crazy cat lady starter box. All she wants is to be content with her life, but she’s not. She’s missing the one thing she’s dreamed of since she was a little girl. To be loved.
But what if it was in front of her the entire time?
Will she be able to mend the broken bridges?
Will she realise it was Love at First Glance?

About the author: 

Muriel
Garcia was born and raised in Belgium. She started writing a little over a year
ago and never thought she would ever publish; reading and writing weren’t her
favorite things to do in high school.
 
After
one of her friends gave her
  a challenge
– the next time they would attend a book signing, she would be a signing author
(it did happen!) – she started to take writing a lot more seriously and never
looked back. She’s enjoyed every second of it and the friends she’s made along
the way.
 
She
loves music, tattoos—especially on hot men, traveling, and cooking. She has
always had an overly imaginative and creative mind but never thought of putting
words to paper. Now she couldn’t imagine not writing stories that are near and
dear to her heart.

Synopsis

One explosive encounter brought them together.
One infatuation led to a love like no other.
One secret tore them apart.

As head of the NYPD Organized Crime Control Bureau in Manhattan, Chief Detective Mason Cole walks in the line of fire every day. Between dodging bullets and braiding his daughter’s hair, Mason is tormented with haunting memories that refuse to relinquish control over him, no matter how hard he tries. After a bust gone wrong, he’s thrown for a loop by a woman who will fill his life with more chaos than ever before.

Lindsey Jenkins is a self-made woman. Bold and independent, she lives unapologetically in a life of deception. That is until her facade is threatened by a force stronger than anything she’s ever felt before—love.

Leaving their hearts unguarded could lead to destruction. Even worse, it could expose them both to a war they never saw coming.

In a city coerced by corruption and treachery, what happens when your greatest passion becomes your biggest weakness?

Excerpt

Lindsey

A light, calloused touch scorches up my side, waking me from sleep. Goose bumps rise from the touch of fingertips and just as I’m about to scramble away, his signature scent hits me with a force of desire and I instantly calm. My shoulders fall and I relax my body back into the hot wall of pure muscle plastered behind me. Feathery kisses trail over my shoulder blade and I quiver at the tingling sensation freezing my body in place. His whiskered jaw prickles my skin, along my shoulder all the way up to my neck. It heightens my senses as lust shoots through my core, and I clutch my pillow, fighting the fire in my belly. I yearn to yank him over me and drive his cock right into me as far as it can go. His hand slides from my waist to my ass and as he squeezes firmly and I can’t help the moan from slipping past my lips. My own sounds of desire echoes through the room much louder than intended, and as soon as it’s left my mouth, Mason spreads his hand over my ass cheek and hip, clutching tightly, and with a quick jerk, he pulls me backwards pressing his jean-clad cock into my ass, rubbing his hardness against me.

“Fuck,” he whispers near my ear, his voice breaking. His head leans on my shoulder and I reach back, gliding my shaky hand up his thick firm thigh, over his ass and bringing it up behind me to his head. Pulling at his hair, I angle my head and bring his up closer to mine. We’re nose to nose, body against body, and breathing so rapidly it’s like we’ve both just run a marathon.

“We shouldn’t do this.” I whisper, staring into his lust-filled eyes. We both know we shouldn’t. I can’t do it, not now. He wants too much, I don’t want enough. It’s too risky, too dangerous. What if one night ruins it all? What if after, my body and my heart want more? If once isn’t enough, denying him again will be so much harder. His job, my job, if our worlds collide, it’ll be one fucked-up mess we’ll never survive.

He shakes his head and rolls swiftly over on top of me, pushing me on my back. “Didn’t plan this when I came in here, Linds. But I sure as fuck don’t want to stop now, not now that I know you want it too.” His lips crash to mine, his tongue searching for an opening. My lips part and his tongue slips inside, caressing my own in one powerful kiss, so gentle and long, so passionate. Pulling him closer, he deepens the connection and his hand trails down, fingering the edge of my panties.

“Stop.” I break the moment, panting heavily. “I can’t give you what you want, Mason.”

His eyes reach into mine and my heart pumps harder. He wants the unattainable.

He scoops the side of my face in his hand, brushing his thumb back and forth. The movement is so intimately sweet that my fingers twitch to cover my own hand with his. He makes resisting him so much harder by simply being him. “You can come up with whatever excuse you want, Lindsey. But that’s all they are, excuses. You’ll run out of them at some stage, and I’ll be here waiting when you do.”

I can’t speak. My lips seal shut. Mason rolls off me, enveloping me in his arms as he moves.

Spooning me in my bed, I ignore everything else. I shut off my mind, shut out the world. Closing my eyes, I sink into nirvana, hoping to avoid this inconceivable feeling tearing me in two. I’m conflicted by the comfort of his arms: I’ve never felt so safe, yet stripped bare, all at the same time.

The New York Times Best Selling author Nashoda Rose is back with the much anticipated story of Kai and London in the Unyielding series.

Kai
There is nothing I care about.
No attachments.
No connections.
Outwardly, I’m a perfect gentleman.
Until my target sees my knife.
I fear nothing, not even death.
In my world, death is considered a privilege.
But my life comes with unbreakable cruel strings and
when I met her, I should’ve walked away.
I didn’t.
I was too selfish.
And that sealed her fate.
Because one week with me led her into the hands of ruin.

London
We all have unique layers that make up who we are.
What makes us vulnerable or strong.
What we fear and what excites us.
But peel back those layers and you’re left naked and exposed.
They did that to me.
Each piece was slowly stripped away then burned.
I merely existed.
But there was one layer they overlooked.
The most important of them all—the tie to one man.
The man responsible for me being this way.
The man who found me.
And the killer who would do anything to protect me.

Perfect Ruin is the dark erotic story of Kai and London.
Their beginning.
And the continuing story of Vault.

Must be read in order:
Perfect Chaos (Unyielding, #1) Deck and Georgie
Perfect Ruin (Unyielding, #2) Kai and London
Perfect Rage (Unyielding, #3) Connor’s story

excerpt

Kai

I’d slit men’s throats who had families. I’d destroyed lives. I’d been groomed to ruin and not care how I did it as long as the job was done.

But what Mother didn’t know or understand was you never stole or harmed the girl belonging to a cold ruthless killer.

Flecks of who they made me into had begun to chip away the day I’d met London and what leached inside me was a slow acting poison. One that ate the numbness,brought in the light when all I’d seen was dark.

I leaned closer to her, my hand on the back of her neck as I whispered in her ear, “Maybe I am like my father. Because I’m a man who will do anything for the woman I want.” She tensed and the creases around her mouth accentuated as she frowned. “I wish I had more time to do this justice.”

I had my hand out of my pocket and the piano wire around her throat before she had the chance to take a final breath.

She looked like a fish out of water, flailing against me as she struggled to breathe. I held the wire tight, no mercy, no feeling toward what I was doing. Her fingernails ripped her own fragile skin as she tried to loosen the wire.

Her legs gave out.

Her wild horrified eyes went dead.

Her body fell limp.

I dropped her to the floor and put the wire back in my pocket. Then I crouched down beside her lifeless body. “London is mine and you fucked with that. Vault is going to pay for what it’s done.”

She – Part 2 by Annabel Fanning

Date of Publication: October 1, 2015

Blurb

She Part 2

I recently saw a photograph with the saying: “create what you wish existed”. I

took that saying to heart in bringing She Part 1 & 2 to life. Within them, I wanted

to write about a couple where everything goes right — no roadblocks, no drama-

for-dramas-sake, no bullshit — just simplicity. Why, you might ask? Because I

want to show that it’s possible. I want that passionate, playful, all-consuming,

heart-wrenching love to exist, so I created it in these books and in these

characters.

I’d like to live in a world where everyone knows that they are worthy and

deserving of this type of romance: the game-changing, breathtaking, smile-

inducing romance. And that everyone can experience this type of pleasure: the

erotic, earth-shatteringly-good, yet grounded in equality and respect type of

pleasure. That’s why I wrote this story.

I’ve loved every single minute that I’ve been immersed in their world, and I hope

you are able to experience as much fun and laughter while reading it, as I did

writing it. Send me an email or a message with your thoughts or questions. I’d be

happy to hear from you.

Big love, Annabel x

Blurb:

LOVE and SEX at once is a powerful combination. LOVE and SEX in Paris is better.

Dive in to Annabel Fanning’s stunning follow up to the bestselling She Part 1. In

this sequel Annabel continues to effortlessly marry several genres. From laugh-

out-loud comedy to steaming erotica to heart pounding romance, She Part 2 has

it all.

Picking up where Part 1 left off, Gemima and Logan escape Paris for the weekend

to indulge in all manner of pleasurable things on the French Riviera. Relaxation,

sightseeing and sex — it’s a perfect combination!

Once back in Paris, life hands out a few surprises, from troublesome ex-

boyfriends, to changes at work, to a heartwarming best friends confession. But

the lead up to Logan’s birthday brings one event that Gemima must conquer (and

try her best not to say anything inappropriate which, you know, is hard for her!)

She must meet Logan’s parents, and his bastard of a brother…

Taking place over thirteen electric days, She Part 2 continues to explore love, sex

and a relationship unlike any other you’ve ever read.

“We’ve been vulnerable right from the very start. Completely open, completely

honest. No red tape, no bullshit, no drama. Just real.” For readers 18+ over only.

Contains very explicit sexual content, and an ending that will make you smile.

About the Author:

Annabel Fanning author pic

Annabel Fanning began writing songs as a child, the most memorable of which

was entitled: “Tropical Night in Switzerland”. Throughout her teens, songwriting

was the most rebellious form of expression that she was willing to partake in (no

tattoos, drugs, or biker boys), and her love for storytelling developed. There was

just one problem: music wasn’t her passion. A month before her 20th birthday

whilst sitting under the Californian sun a few deck chairs down from Robert

Pattinson, inspiration struck, and Annabel began writing her first novel. The years

passed and now at 26, Annabel has written a handful of novels, which she plans

on releasing throughout 2015/16.

Excerpt:

The bar is noisy, dark, and bustling with Friday night activity. A large crowd of

people stands between me, in the doorway, and the bar itself — my destination.

I’m motionless on my sky-high heels, observing the scene. Then I sway a little

unsteadily, no doubt due to the copious amount of wine that I drank at dinner. I

flatten my dress, straighten my posture, lift my head high and demand my usual

composure to resume. OK, so composure might be too strong a word to describe

my usual state. But tonight I’m not myself; I am, quite literally, being someone

else. Don’t fuck this up, I tell myself, as nerves unexpectedly take ahold of me. It

doesn’t help that I’ve never played the type of game that I’m about to play… Just

do it how they do it in the movies.

I peer through the mass of people and spot him, sitting alone at the far end of the

bar, waiting. Then I start walking, parting the crowded room as I go, batting my

eyelashes at those I pass, smiling cordially, getting myself into the appropriate

mindset for the game ahead.

It feels good in here; the other visitors are lively, and upbeat, and happy. On the

other side of the crowd the room seems somehow quieter. I can hear the music

playing from speakers above (an old-fashioned jazz tune), and for a few moments

my attention is taken by the splendour of the decor. It is to die for: art-deco

everything, just as advertised. I observe the bay windows, beyond which the dark

night conceals the view of the ocean that I’ve waited years to see. Tomorrow, I

think. Right now I have another, more urgent thing to attend to.

My eyes fix on the man sitting alone at the bar. My target, my game plan, my kill

of the night. My stomach jolts. Jeez, he’s gorgeous, and he’s dressed in

accordance with the style of the room: smart black suit pants contain his long

legs, a crisp white shirt accentuates his taut, muscular torso, black suspenders hug

his body in a way that I’m envious of, and a light pink bow tie sits under his

stubbled neck and jaw and just so happens to match the colour of my dress.

Perfect. His medium-blonde hair is slicked back, completing the look. He is

breathtaking, a flawless mix of classically handsome and modernly sexy.

He looks up at me for the briefest of moments, then looks away, and then does a

double take. I’ve captured his attention. Good, I think. Very good! He looks me up

and down, openly, brazenly, and my nerves make themselves known once more.

Cool it, Gem, I warn myself. You can do this, I give myself a pep talk. Just don’t

break character first.

The man’s engaging pale-green eyes are alight as he surveys me; I can see within

them the same desire that I feel within myself. Good, I think again. We’re both

here for the same reason — to pick up.

My nerves somewhat calmed, I continue walking until I’m two seats away from

him and I pull out a barstool. His eyes widen slightly. Hmm, did he think I was

going to sit next to him? Did he think I was going to make it that easy? I smile to

myself, tearing my eyes away from his beautiful face. Instead I sit, and turn my

attention towards the barman.

“Votre spécial pour la soirée, s’il vous plaît,” I smile. Your special for the evening,

please.

He nods and goes about getting my drink. On my left I can feel the man’s eyes on

me, he’s piercing me with his gaze, so much so that I’m drawn, like a moth to a

flame, to look at him. When I do he smiles at me, dimples becoming pronounced

in his chiseled cheeks, and I feel a current of carnal longing head straight for my

groin. Him…and I…oh, this is going to be a good night!

He leans forward across the vacant seat between us, to ask me, “Would you like

to play a game?”

I can’t help but smile back. I thought we already were, I say in my mind. Out loud,

I answer with a nonchalant shrug, “Sure.”

His smile broadens slightly, drawing my eyes to look at his full, pink lips. “Say I like

cops without your lips touching.”

Immediately I do as he asks, but my words come out as I like cocks rather than

cops, causing both of us to burst into immature giggles. I roll my eyes at him.

The ice broken, the man points to the empty seat between us. “May I?” he asks.

“Sure,” I say again, this time a little more warmly.

He moves over to sit next to me and a sudden, exciting, electrical charge begins to

build between us. It’s potent right from the off, and makes my heart hammer in

my chest. We look at each other, both of us feeling it, both of us instinctively

knowing where our night is headed.

“What’s your name?” he wants to know.

“Let’s not,” I say immediately, shaking my head. “Let’s keep that a mystery,” I

request.

He nods his agreement, a smile playing on the edge of his lips. Then the bartender

delivers my drink, and my late-night rendezvous raises his own glass up to toast

mine.

“Cheers,” I say as seductively as I can.

We both take a drink, never taking our eyes off of one another. The charge keeps

building. It’s hot and steamy inside this bubble we’re in.

“Miss. No-Name, you look phenomenal,” the stranger coos, his voice full of allure,

the tips of his fingers teasing my knee.

I shift out of his reach. I can tease him too, I think slyly. “Thank you,” I grin at him.

“Do you like my dress? It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” My knee-length, light-pink dress

with intricate black-bead detailing might just be the most special garment I’ve

ever had the pleasure of wearing. It fits over my five-foot-seven, svelte hour-glass

frame in a confidence-boosting manner.

“Very,” he compliments. “Much like its inhabitant,” he says.

I ignore his latter comment. “My boyfriend bought it for me,” I tell him, proudly.

“Your—your boyfriend?” he stammers, looking surprised. “Where is he tonight?”

he asks, looking around the crowded room.

“Upstairs. In our room,” I explain quickly. “He’s…working,” I lie. “We just had a

late dinner, during which he partially pleasured me under the table,” I overshare.

Seriously, Gem, is that how you speak to a stranger? Move right along, I order

myself. “Now he’s working.”

“Only partially?” the stranger seems perturbed. The look in his eyes tells me that

he’d like nothing more than to remedy my situation. “I don’t like the sound of

your boyfriend. No wonder you’re down here, prowling,” he says, his eyes

gleaming.

My heart hammers even harder in my chest. “I wasn’t going to let a good night go

to waste,” I shrug, attempting to be nonchalant once more.

“Just as well,” he smiles at me; a smile that I feel all over my body. He sucks on his

bottom lip in that unconscious way he does… Shit! I shake my head. You don’t

know this man, I remind myself.

Refocussing myself, I ask, “And you, stranger? Are you here with someone?”

“No,” he shakes his head quickly. “I’m here alone.” He lifts his glass to take

another swig. I smell that he’s drinking whiskey, straight, and I revel in knowing

that I’ll taste it on his tongue soon. Very soon.

I can’t keep a smile from forming on my lips. “I was hoping that might be the

case,” I confess. Then, bravely, I lean in and press my lips against his for a brief

moment before forcing his mouth open with my tongue and brushing it against

his. Mmm, he tastes delicious. Our eyes are open and locked on each other the

whole time. I brush my tongue slowly against his again, smiling at the same time,

before I pull back and suck on my own bottom lip, whispering, “I like whiskey.”

His face lights up. Oh, this is so much fun!

She: Part 1

LOVE and SEX at once, is a powerful combination.

Escape into Annabel Fanning’s feel-good bestselling erotic debut. She Part 1 is a

contemporary and humorous look into the lives of two people who are on the

precipice of true love. The novel uniquely crosses several genres, mixing first-

grade erotica seamlessly with women’s lit and breathtaking romance.

The story unfolds over sixteen thrilling and erotically-charged days, during which

the reader is thrust into the heart of Paris, the novels backdrop, and into the daily

lives of the construction world’s elite.

Logan Leary is a reformed bad-boy who moved to the city of love fifteen years ago

to start his life over. Now he owns one of Paris’s most successful companies and

leads as seemingly charmed life. There’s just one thing missing: Gemima Samuels.

Gemima Samuels moved to Paris with her down-on-his-luck boyfriend eight years

ago. She coasted through life (in that annoying way we sometimes do) until her

boyfriend cheated on her and life dealt her a wake up call. Choosing to start

afresh, Gemima ends her relationship and quits her job before being hired by the

most prestigious interior design firm in the city.

A supposedly inconsequential lunch date turns out to be the start of something

phenomenal that will change both of their lives forever.

“Everything about Logan is new to me. Everything. He is the difference between

watching television in black and white, verses watching it in colour: he adds

dynamic and depth and stimulation when my life used to be so dull.”

Blurb

A new dark romance series from the New York Times bestselling author of Twist Me

She fears him from the first moment she sees him.

Yulia Tzakova is no stranger to dangerous men. She grew up with them. She survived them. But when she meets Lucas Kent, she knows the hard ex-soldier may be the most dangerous of them all.

One night—that’s all it should be. A chance to make up for a failed assignment and get information on Kent’s arms dealer boss. When his plane goes down, it should be the end.

Instead, it’s just the beginning.

He wants her from the first moment he sees her.

Lucas Kent has always liked leggy blondes, and Yulia Tzakova is as beautiful as they come. The Russian interpreter might’ve tried to seduce his boss, but she ends up in Lucas’s bed—and he has every intention of seeing her there again.

Then his plane goes down, and he learns the truth.

She betrayed him.

Now she will pay.

NOTE: Capture Me is the first book about Lucas & Yulia and has a cliffhanger-ish ending. It’s a long novella/short novel of approximately 45,000 words (about 200 pages) and is a spin-off from the Twist Me trilogy. It’s not necessary to have read that trilogy to enjoy Capture Me, but the book does contain major spoilers for books 2 and 3 of Twist Me.

Excerpt

Author’s Note: This is from Yulia’s POV. For those of you familiar with the Twist Me series, this scene takes place in Moscow, when Lucas & Julian were there to meet with the Russian officials.

He steps into my apartment as soon as the door swings open. No hesitation, no greeting—he just comes in.

Startled, I step back, the short, narrow hallway suddenly stiflingly small. I’d somehow forgotten how big he is, how broad his shoulders are. I’m tall for a woman—tall enough to fake being a model if an assignment calls for it—but he towers a full head above me. With the heavy down jacket he’s wearing, he takes up almost the entire hallway.

Still not saying a word, he closes the door behind him and advances toward me. Instinctively, I back away, feeling like cornered prey.

“Hello, Yulia,” he murmurs, stopping when we’re out of the hallway. His pale gaze is locked on my face. “I wasn’t expecting to see you like this.”

I swallow, my pulse racing. “I just took a bath.” I want to seem calm and confident, but he’s got me completely off-balance. “I wasn’t expecting visitors.”

“No, I can see that.” A faint smile appears on his lips, softening the hard line of his mouth. “Yet you let me in. Why?”

“Because I didn’t want to continue talking through the door.” I take a steadying breath. “Can I offer you some tea?” It’s a stupid thing to say, given what he’s here for, but I need a few moments to compose myself.

He raises his eyebrows. “Tea? No, thanks.”

“Then can I take your jacket?” I can’t seem to stop playing the hostess, using politeness to cover my anxiety. “It looks quite warm.”

Amusement flickers in his wintry gaze. “Sure.” He takes off his down jacket and hands it to me. He’s left wearing a black sweater and dark jeans tucked into black winter boots. The jeans hug his legs, revealing muscular thighs and powerful calves, and on his belt, I see a gun sitting in a holster.

Irrationally, my breathing quickens at the sight, and it takes a concerted effort to keep my hands from shaking as I take the jacket and walk over to hang it in my tiny closet. It’s not a surprise that he’s armed—it would be a shock if he wasn’t—but the gun is a stark reminder of who Lucas Kent is.

What he is.

It’s no big deal, I tell myself, trying to calm my frayed nerves. I’m used to dangerous men. I was raised among them. This man is not that different. I’ll sleep with him, get whatever information I can, and then he’ll be out of my life.

Yes, that’s it. The sooner I can get it done, the sooner all of this will be over.

Closing the closet door, I paste a practiced smile on my face and turn back to face him, finally ready to resume the role of confident seductress.

Except he’s already next to me, having crossed the room without making a sound.

My pulse jumps again, my newfound composure fleeing. He’s close enough that I can see the gray striations in his pale blue eyes, close enough that he can touch me.

And a second later, he does touch me.

Lifting his hand, he runs the back of his knuckles over my jaw.

I stare up at him, confused by my body’s instant response. My skin warms and my nipples tighten, my breath coming faster. It doesn’t make sense for this hard, ruthless stranger to turn me on. His boss is more handsome, more striking, yet it’s Kent my body’s reacting to. All he’s touched thus far is my face. It should be nothing, yet it’s intimate somehow.

Intimate and disturbing.

I swallow again. “Mr. Kent—Lucas—are you sure I can’t offer you something to drink? Maybe some coffee or—” My words end in a breathless gasp as he reaches for the tie of my robe and tugs on it, as casually as one would unwrap a package.

“No.” He watches as the robe falls open, revealing my naked body underneath. “No coffee.”
