But that doesn't mean the voices have gone away. A powerful Spirit has taken notice of her, and he plans to use her unique talents to gain control of the human world. Even worse, there is a prophecy that says he will succeed.</span><br />

Inga Andersson is the envy of every girl in Asgard. On the surface she has it all -- great friends, a job as Odin’s personal fight choreographer, and a happy ever after with her realm’s hottest assassin. But when evil invades Asgard, her perfect world comes crashing down. Someone is planning to kill off the gods, and Inga’s best friend Ull is first on their list. With the Norse apocalypse a nanosecond away, Inga has to decide how she’ll spend her final moments of freedom. Because from the moment this battle begins, Inga’s happily ever after will be nothing more than a memory.

<div style="text-align: left;">

Kristia Tostenson prefers Earl Grey to Grey Goose and book clubs to nightclubs, but when she transfers from her one-stoplight town to Cardiff University in Wales she falls in love with Ull Myhr. Her new boyfriend isn’t exactly what she was expecting. He’s an honest to goodness Norse God - an immortal assassin fated to die at Ragnarok, the battle destined to destroy Asgard and Earth. Kristia’s crazy visions are the only thing that can save their realms. Her orderly life just got very messy.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>EXCERPT:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Are
you sure you will be all right on the stairs?” Ull stood in the grand
hall of Cardiff Castle, glancing at the four-inch, shiny death-traps
Victoria called shoes. Since Ull’s eyes practically bugged out of his
face when he picked me up, I had no intention of changing into the
emergency flats I’d stuck in my purse. Victoria had scored another hit.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Probably not. Walk behind me in case I fall?”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“It would be my pleasure.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“On our right, the coats of arms,” continued the tour
guide. He’d been talking for a good five minutes and I couldn’t remember
a single word. That was because Ull had started stroking the small of
my back when our tour began, and it took all my concentration just to
stay upright.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“The castle is gorgeous.” I admired the stonework as
we made our way toward the stairs. There I shifted focus to my feet,
staring at each step until I’d reached the top. “Made it.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“And I was so hoping I would get to catch you.” Ull came up next to me and skimmed my hand with the pads of his fingers.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Well, the night is young and these shoes are high. You may still get your chance.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Tease.” Ull kissed my palm.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Um.” I swayed on the heels and he chuckled.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Come, Miss Tostenson. We are losing the group.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Right.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We walked the long corridor framed with paintings. All
of the history in these walls was kind of overwhelming. The castle was
two thousand years old. The oldest thing we had back in Nehalem was
probably the Homestead. Cardiff Castle had about eighteen hundred years
on that farm.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“This place is huge,” I whispered when we’d caught up
to the tour. “I can’t imagine living here. How could you ever get
comfortable?”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“You get used to it,” Ull shrugged. “Find little corners to make your own.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“How on earth could anyone get used to all of this?”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“When you are stuck in it every day it gets old. Trust me.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Right.” Like Ull was an authority on royal dwellings. “Living in a castle sounds <i>sooo</i> terrible.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Depends on the day.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“What does that mean?”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Just that these walls did more than keep people out -- they kept people in, too.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I thought about my vision from Friday night -- of Ull and me in a meadow by a castle. Huh.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Where did you say your family lived, exactly?” I probed.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But Ull bristled. I’d hit a nerve. “Come Kristia, we have lost our group again.” He gently pulled me down the hall.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“You
may have noticed the Animal Wall in front of the Castle. Though William
Burges designed the Wall in 1866, it was not constructed until 1890 --
nine years after Burges’s death.” The guide lifted an eyebrow as we
caught up. “Please do try to stay with the tour,” he admonished before
turning down another corridor. The rest of the group followed closely.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Sorry.” I ducked my head.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ull raised a corner of his mouth in a smile. “Why, Kristia, you are blushing.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“And?” I lifted my chin, and took a step back so I stood against the wall.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“It is sweet.” Ull paused and lifted a finger to my
cheek. My knees buckled and he grabbed my arm to steady me. The touch
sent shockwaves straight to my head, leaving me with the unnerving
sensation of being underwater. I lost my bearings again and Ull wrapped
both hands around my waist to stop my fall.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Sorry,” I mouthed. “Must be the shoes.” I couldn’t stop staring at his eyes. They almost looked nervous.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Must be.” He ran his finger along my jaw, stopping to
grasp my chin between his thumb and forefinger. His eyes focused on my
mouth and my heartbeat accelerated. He ran his thumb lightly over my
lips. They parted under his touch. A wave of heat shot from my lower lip
straight to my abdomen, creating a slow burn that wasn’t altogether
uncomfortable. I watched as his eyes slowly moved down then back up,
lingering at the neckline of my dress. Victoria had been right about the
push-up bra.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Must be,” I repeated.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ull drew his eyes away from my cleavage and took a
step closer. He leaned one forearm against the wall, leaving me
enveloped between the cold stone and his warm chest. I was suddenly very
dizzy.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Kristia,” he spoke in a whisper.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Yes?” I whispered back. Ull was looking at me with an
intensity I wasn’t prepared for. He stepped in, closing the last inch
between us.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Look at me.” He spoke again, lifting my chin so my
lips were tilted towards his. If his body hadn’t been pressed against
mine, I would have collapsed in a heap that instant. Instead, I took a
shaky breath as Ull dropped his head. He ran his nose along my jaw line,
pausing when he reached my ear. He breathed in, the cool air sending a
shiver down my neck. With painstaking slowness he drew his nose across
my cheek until our lips were almost touching. Now when I looked into his
eyes I saw something entirely different. He was strong. Confident. And
very much in control.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I let out a small sigh and immediately he covered my
mouth with his. It wasn’t a gentle kiss -- it was commanding, almost
forceful. I melted against him as he claimed my lips, moved down my jaw
to consume my neck. My insides throbbed. In that moment, I would have
done absolutely anything he asked me to.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Kristia,” he whispered again.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Mmm.” It was the best I could muster by way of response.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“I think we need to stop.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>In God’s name, why?
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Will you be joining the rest of my tour, or shall
I leave the two of you here?” The guide stood at the end of the
corridor, literally tapping his foot. Oops.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ull placed his hands around my waist to right me. I
smoothed my hair and straightened my dress, my cheeks burning the whole
time.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Great timing,” I muttered. Just when things were getting good.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Do not worry Kristia.” Ull winked. “We have all the time in the world.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I sure hoped so.</div>

<br /></div>
Only one thing is so powerful, so dangerous that Heaven and Hell must work together to find it: the Shard of Gabriel.
<br />
<br />
With a mysterious Black Cloud of Death hot on the shard’s trail, a desperate Heaven enlists the help of Bart, a demon who knows more about the shard than almost anyone. Six years ago, he had it in his hands. If only he’d used it before his coup to overthrow the devil failed. Now, he’s been sprung from his eternal punishment to help Samantha, an angel in training, recover the shard before the Black Cloud of Death finds it.
<br />
<br />
If Bartholomew wants to succeed, he’ll have to fight the temptation to betray Samantha and the allure of the shard. After an existence full of evil, the only way Bart can get right with Hell is to be good.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>EXCERPT: </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Samantha burst out of The House of the Rising Sun, trying to catch up to me. “Wait. Where are you going?”
<br />
<br />
I waved her off. “You’re on your own, kiddo.”
<br />
<br />
“Where are you going?”
<br />
<br />
“Wherever the day takes me. Disney World. The moon. I don’t know and I don’t care.” I lit a cigarette and took a drag. “I’m not messing with a female demon, or whatever it is,” I said, exhaling through my nose. “You think I’m bad? I at least have fun when I’m working. Those harpies just…they take things way too seriously.”
<br />
<br />
Female demons are the worst. So insecure. One look at another woman and next thing you know, the Titanic is sinking. Believe me, I know from experience.
<br />
<br />
“How can I stop one of them from getting the Shard?”
<br />
<br />
I stopped and turned around, moving within inches of her face. “They probably already have it. Why else would Pierce have attacked me? Why do you think we got jumped at the museum?”
<br />
<br />
Samantha shrugged. “I’m not sure.”
<br />
<br />
“Right,” I snapped. Lies. Or as angels call it, distortion of the truth. Anger boiled in my veins. I considered letting my horns out to play. It would be nothing to ram them through her chest, ruining her perfect C-cups. “So tell me, little miss angel face, why should I help you when you won’t tell me what you know?”
<br />
<br />
Samantha bit her lower lip, like she carefully considered what to say next. A wise move. I wanted to impale her like a matador.
<br />
<br />
“Well?” I pressed the button on my keyless entry to unlock my car. “I don’t have all day. I’d like to deflower a virgin or two before sundown.”
<br />
<br />
Her expression became stolid. “I can’t believe you’re scared,” she said derisively. “You. A demon. Afraid of a girl.”
<br />
<br />
She laughed and laid a hand on the roof of my Benz, adding to her offense.
<br />
<br />
I’d have removed her hand from her body, but she’d called out my demonhood, and addressing that took precedence. Nobody accused me of being afraid.
<br />
<br />
“Scared?” I spit out my cigarette. “I’m not scared. I’m just smart enough to know when to close up shop. You don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.”
<br />
<br />
“Maybe you’re right.” Samantha’s lips curled upward. “Maybe they did send me the wrong demon. Next time I’ll make sure they send me someone who knows how to finish the job.”
<br />
<br />
Oh, that burned. This girl was good. And I bought into it, because to be fair, why should I stand idly by and let somebody else succeed in my stead? I wanted to pat her on the back for such a fine manipulation, but thought better of it.

This resulted in an obsession with becoming a writer, but also a gross incompetence in the fields of science and mathematics. A graduate of North Carolina State University, Ryan has been a film critic for over five years. He lives in Raleigh, NC, with his dog/shadow Maggie. Ryan also feels strange about referring to himself in the third person.<br />

<br />
When seventeen-year-old Anya finds out she’s actually an angel being trained to protect humanity, she discovers that becoming an angel has nothing to do with wings and halos. For Anya, becoming an angel has to do with death—her death.
<br />
<br />
Micah, the angelic soldier ordered to protect her until she transitions from human to angel, promises her death will be a glorious experience as long as she follows his rules. But getting Anya through this life and to the next isn’t as simple as Micah expects. His job becomes even more difficult after he unwittingly performs a miracle that exposes Anya’s hidden angelic light.
<br />
<br />
With her secret out, Hell’s legions begin targeting her. Unfortunately, Hell’s minions are the least of Micah’s worries. He’s more concerned about the forbidden human emotions he’s developed toward Anya. Even more troubling, is she seems to love him too. And giving in to those feelings, could mean dire consequences for them both.<br />

David Vandergraff wants to be a good man. He goes to church every Sunday, keeps his lawn trim and green, and loves his wife and kids more than anything. Unfortunately, being a dark wizard isn't a choice.
<br />
<br />
Eleven years ago, David's secret second family went missing. When his two lost children are finally found, he learns they suffered years of unthinkable abuse. Ready to make things right, David brings the kids home even though it could mean losing the wife he can’t imagine living without.
<br />
<br />
Keeping his life together becomes harder when the new children claim to be dark wizards. David believes they use this fantasy to cope with their trauma. Until, David's wife admits a secret of her own—she is a dark wizard too, as is David, and all of their children.
<br />
<br />
Now, David must parent two hurting children from a dark world he doesn’t understand and keep his family from falling apart. All while dealing with the realization that everyone he loves, including himself, may be evil.<br />

Cat Crawford just wants to be normal—or at least as normal as a daughter of Hollywood royalty can be. And it looks like fate is granting her wish: she’s got an amazing boyfriend, Lucas; her fabulous cousin, Alessandra, living with her; and her dad planning his second marriage to a great future stepmom. That is, until her prodigal mother reveals on national television that she has something important to tell her daughter…causing a media frenzy.
<br />
<br />
Lucas Capelli knows his fate is to be with Cat, and he’s worked hard to win her over once and for all. Unfortunately, Lucas has his own issues to deal with, including a scandal that could take him away from the first place he’s truly belonged.
<br />
<br />
As secrets are revealed, rumors explode, and the world watches, Cat and Lucas discover it’s not fate they have to fight if they want to stay together…this time, it’s their own insecurities.
<br />
<br />
Well, and the stalkerazzi.<br />
<br />

<b>She has a secret.</b>
<br />
<br />
I’m complicated. Not broken or ruined or running from a past I can’t face. Just complicated.
<br />
<br />
I thought my life couldn’t get any more tangled in deceit and confusion. But I hadn’t met him. I hadn't realized how far I could fall or what I'd do to get free.
<br />
<br />
<b>He has a secret.</b>
<br />
<br />
I’ve never pretended to be good or deserving. I chase who I want, do what I want, act how I want.
<br />
<br />
I didn’t have time to lust after a woman I had no right to lust after. I told myself to shut up and stay hidden. But then she tried to run. I’d tasted what she could offer me and damned if I would let her go.
<br />
<br />
<b>One secret destroys them.</b>

<br />
It was the best kiss I’d ever received, but also the worst. It sparked lust and need in every inch of me. My lips wanted more, my tongue wanted savagery. My skin wanted to bruise because he needed to touch me so badly.
<br />
<br />
All my thoughts disappeared as I nipped at his bottom lip. He flinched, but a second later he copied, his sharp canines piercing my oversensitive flesh.
<br />
<br />
I moaned.
<br />
<br />
I couldn’t take it.
<br />
<br />
My hands flew up and gripped his shirt. Yanking him toward me, fireworks whizzed in my fingertips; my heart galloped toward exploding with lust. I’d never been so drunk on someone before.
<br />
<br />
Then I landed flat on my back.
<br />
<br />
The crack of my skull jangled my teeth. The thick carpet did little to cushion me. My eyes flared wide and I grunted in pain. Fear, hot and terrible, swamped my lust in a dampening wave.
<br />
<br />
“Top rule. <i>Unbreakable</i> rule. Don’t. <i>Ever</i>. Touch. Me.” Fox kneeled on one knee beside my head, breathing hard. His hand noosed my throat, pressing my spine into the carpet. His eyes were cold and lifeless, looking like a hunter intent on blood.

Antonio Spinelli blew through my orderly life like a cyclone.Gorgeous and passionate, with a breathtaking brutality, he put me under his spell the moment he touched me, drawing me into his underworld of risk, violence and betrayal.
<br />
<br />
And I found, just as this sophisticated savage didn’t trust me, I didn’t trust myself. Something happened to me. Some alchemy from the heat between us.
<br />
<br />
I discovered I was a savage, too.<br />

She likes to make pretty pictures and write dirty scenes. She eats dark chocolate and chili, together, sometimes with bacon, and doesn't care what you think about that.
<br />
<br />
There are a million more things she could tell you about herself besides that, but they're all too boring to mention in company.<br />

Zeth Mayfair is pretty much the last thing I need in my life. And yet with every breath I take he becomes more engrained in every aspect of it:
<br />
<br />
He has a key to my house.
<br />
<br />
He knows where I work.
<br />
<br />
He's dumped his strange, mentally traumatized housemate on my doorstep and has driven off into the sunset in search of my missing sister.
<br />
<br />
I want to forget him. Want to change the locks and blot out his face, scourge his very name from my memory. The problem is that I also need him. I need him more than I need air to breath, and I can’t be without him now.
<br />
<br />
He owns me.
<br />
<br />
He torments me.
<br />
<br />
He’s fractured me.<br />
<br />

<b>Mine To Crave</b><br />
<b>(Mine Series, #4 )<br />By Cynthia Eden</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
New York Times best-selling author Cynthia Eden continues her dark and sexy “Mine” romantic suspense series with…MINE TO CRAVE.<br />
<br />
HE TAKES WHAT HE WANTS.<br />
From the moment that billionaire casino owner Drake Archer sees Jasmine Bennett, he’s obsessed. Consumed by desire for the mysterious redhead, Drake will do anything necessary to claim her. Yet as desire rages between them, danger is stalking ever closer. Drake’s past isn’t dead, and the ex-Special Forces agent will soon have to face the ghosts he left behind.<br />
<br />
SHE’S HIDING SECRETS.<br />
Jasmine isn’t who she pretends to be. She’s a woman on a mission—and she’s supposed to be stealing secrets from the mysterious Drake. Falling for him isn’t on her agenda, but when lust and love tangle together, all the rules get broken. <br />
<br />
AN ENEMY IS CLOSING IN…<br />
When Drake learns of Jasmine’s betrayal…all hell breaks loose. He knows that he should turn his back on her, but it’s too late for him. He can’t let her go, but he can teach her a lesson. No one betrays him…not without paying a heavy price. Drake will destroy all of the enemies on his trail, he’ll bury his past, and he’ll teach Jasmine to want only him…just as much as he craves her.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>USA Today</i> Best-selling author Cynthia Eden has written over twenty-five novels and novellas. She was named as a 2013 RITA<sup>®</sup> finalist for her paranormal romance, ANGEL IN CHAINS, and, in 2011, Cynthia Eden was a RITA finalist for her romantic suspense, DEADLY FEAR.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cynthia is a southern girl who loves horror movies, chocolate, and happy endings. She has always wanted to write (don’t most authors say that?), and particularly enjoys creating stories about monsters–vampires, werewolves, and even the real-life monsters that populate her romantic suspense stories.<b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">(Back in the day…) Cynthia graduated summa cum laude from the University of South Alabama where she studied Sociology (because people interest her) and Communication (because she likes to write about said people). Cynthia has worked as a college admissions counselor, a teacher, and as an editor. But now, Cynthia is thrilled to be spending her days making up stories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Summary:</b> Since her mother vanished nine years ago, Anamae and her father have shared a quiet life. But when Anamae discovers a brooch identical to her mother's favorite pendant, she unknowingly invites a slew of trouble into their world. When the brooch and the pendant are worn together they're no longer pretty pieces of jewelry -- they're part of a highly developed technology capable of cloaking the human form. Triggering the jewelry's power attracts the attention of a secret society determined to confiscate the device -- and silence everyone who is aware of its existence. Anamae knows too much, and now she's Enemy Number One.
<br />
<br />
She's forced to leave her father behind when she's taken in by a group determined to keep her safe. Here Anamae searches for answers about this hidden world. With her father kidnapped and her own life on the line, Anamae must decide if saving her dad is worth risking her new friends’ lives. No matter what she does, somebody is going to get hurt.
<br />
<br />
Fiction is Fact. Know the Truth.<br />

“Is that what you do? I mean do you often try to hit on women in coffee shops by buying coffee for them?”
<br />
<br />
“I can tell you with one hundred percent truthfulness that I have never done that before.”
<br />
<br />
“Never.” A look passes over his face I don’t know what It means but I don’t like it.”
<br />
<br />
“Do you date a lot?” I ask quietly wondering if he thinks I will be some kind of conquest.”
<br />
<br />
“I haven’t dated.”
<br />
<br />
“You haven’t dated?” I look him over again he must think I am stupid guys who look like him must date a lot.
<br />
<br />
“I have never had to date.”
<br />
<br />
“What does that mean?”
<br />
<br />
“If I want to sleep with someone I don’t need to date them.”
<br />
<br />
“What?” I breathe that is not at all what I expected him to say. “You’re the guy that can get any girl he wants without ever putting any kind of effort into it.” He shrugs the gesture making me feel sick at the same time I want to kick him in the nuts. Maybe the red hair does make me have a temper.
<br />
<br />
“I never lead anyone on or tell them things they want to hear.”
<br />
<br />
“So that makes it okay?”
<br />
<br />
“I don’t know if it makes it okay but it’s who I am.”
<br />
<br />
“Well I am glad that this is coming to light now rather than later.”
<br />
<br />
“Oh no,” He shakes his head. “This thing with you is something completely different.”
<br />
<br />
“Yeah I know.” I tell him crossing my arms over my chest. “Its different because I will not be sleeping with you.” I lean forward. “EVER.”
<br />
<br />
“Well I guess we answered the question about red heads and their tempers didn’t we.” He smiles showing off both dimples. “But trust me when I tell you I would not have driven almost three hours to sleep with you that’s not what I am looking for.”<br />

<b>New Adult bestselling author Monica Murphy winds up her sensational series with this sexy story of two college kids with nothing in common but a bunch of baggage and a burning attraction.
</b><br />
<br />
Over. That about sums up everything in my life. Suspended from my college football team and forced to cut back my hours at The District bar because of my crappy grades, I can’t keep turning to my sister, Fable, and her pro-football playing husband, Drew, to bail me out. I just can’t seem to find my own way. Weed and sex are irresistible temptations—and it’s messed up that I secretly hand over money to our junkie mom. A tutor is the last thing I want right now—until I get a look at her.
<br />
<br />
Chelsea is not my type at all. She’s smart and totally shy. I’m pretty sure she’s even a virgin. But when she gives me the once over with those piercing blue eyes, I’m really over. But in a different way. I won’t deny her ass is killer, but it’s her brain and the way she seems to crave love—like no one’s ever given her any—that make me want her more than any girl I’ve ever met. But what would someone as seemingly together as her ever see in a screwed up guy like me?<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
“Anything else?” I ask them minutes later as I drop the check on their table.
<br />
<br />
Owen slaps his hand against the piece of paper and drags it toward him. “I think that’s it.”
<br />
<br />
“Great.” I smile but it feels brittle. “I can be your cashier or you can pay at the register.”
<br />
<br />
“Hey, what else can you be for us, huh?” one of Owen’s friends ask, making the other one laugh.
<br />
<br />
My cheeks are hot again and my mouth is open. I’m gaping at them like a dying fish and thankfully Owen rushes to my defense. “Shut the hell up, Des.” He glances up at me, all traces of the buzzed foolish boy who first walked in here gone. “He’s drunk. He doesn’t know what he’s saying.”
<br />
<br />
“I know exactly what I’m saying,” drunken Des mumbles, clamping his lips shut when Owen shoots him a deathly stare.
<br />
<br />
“It’s all right,” I say, backing away from them slowly. “Take your time.”
<br />
<br />
I turn to flee from their table when I hear someone slide out of the booth, strong fingers curling around my upper arm and stopping me from leaving. He’s standing directly behind me, the warmth from his body seeping into mine and I go completely still. Willing myself not to react, not to say something stupid and embarrass myself.
<br />
<br />
Look what he’s doing to me just by touching my arm. This sort of thing doesn’t happen to me. I don’t care about boys. I’ve been kissed a measly three times in my life, once by Cody Curtis the tongue thruster and he definitely doesn’t count.
<br />
<br />
So twice. Twice I’ve been kissed and I’m a virgin. A freaking virgin. Owen Maguire has player written all over him. I’m nothing to him.
<br />
<br />
So why is he touching me? Talking to me in that husky low murmur of his that slides over me like slow, warm honey?
<br />
<br />
“…need to talk to you. About this tutoring thing,” he’s saying and I wrench myself out of his grip, irritated that I didn’t pay attention to what he said at first.
<br />
<br />
“Just meet me Monday afternoon as scheduled and we should be good to go.” I turn to face him, a fake smile plastered to my face and he stares at my lips for a long, breath stealing second before he finally lifts those too pretty green eyes up to meet mine.
<br />
<br />
My lips are tingling like he actually kissed them. <i>God.</i>
<br />
<br />
“I don’t even know your name,” he murmurs.<br />

Twenty-year-old Caitlyn McCoe likes logic, cake and breaking a sweat. In that order. What she doesn’t like is the fact that her manipulative ex, Dominic, has crawled out of the woodwork after their breakup last summer. She needs to concentrate on passing her business degree, not telling him to get lost. But fantasising about Fist Candy–the boxer she loves to watch at the gym, where she works–is excellent escapism. He’s beautiful, untouchable…and safe.
<br />
<br />
Until he’s her new co-worker. And then he’s not safe at all.
<br />
<br />
Art Lyons was a rising star on the boxing circuit and a brilliant student. Then he dropped out, disappeared, and has just resurfaced as the new sports massage therapist at Caitlyn’s gym. He doesn’t want to talk about why he’s no longer at uni; he doesn’t want to explain the tattooed slashes across his hip.
<br />
<br />
But he’s troubled by the connection he feels between the punch bag and the brush of a lover’s fingers. He wants to use his hands to heal, not hurt. Caitlyn clams up when her friends go to hug her; after Dominic, something changed beneath her skin, twists the things she feels. If Art can find a way to reach beyond that, he could help her. She could heal him.
<br />
<br />
That’s if they don’t break each other first…<br />

Adam and Kathryn’s tantric love story continues once again told in his point of view…
<br />
<br />
When roguish playboy Adam Kingsley meets the stunning Tantra instructor Kathryn Delcour, he falls hard, becoming captivated by her strength and beauty. An intense sexual chemistry sizzles between them from their first shared glance to the soul cleansing Tantra session they experience together.
<br />
<br />
While Adam recovers from injuries after saving Kathryn’s life, she instructs him in the sensual practice of Tantra. He becomes her willing student as their tantric lovemaking brings Adam to sexual highs he never dreamed were possible.
<br />
<br />
But Adam’s life takes an unexpected turn when newly exposed secrets surrounding his birth father force him to make a seemingly impossible choice. Avenge those he loves and let everything he holds dear crumble around him, or allow the guilty to go free. With Kathryn by his side, Adam faces the fight of his life.
<br />
<br />
Adam's Fall is the concluding book in the Touch of Tantra series.
<br />
<br />
“Kathryn’s mesmerized me with some kind of tantric magic. I’m bewitched without an ounce of fight left within me. She knows my dilemma, my hesitancy to surrender and loosen the grip I have on my past, and she’s won.”<br />
- An excerpt from Adam’s Apple (Touch of Tantra #1) An erotic bestseller.<br />

“Forget about the press shit for a minute. I want to talk about Kathryn,” Tom says, starting in before the door’s fully shut. He’s moved his chair right in front of me. With his football player build, I’m going nowhere until he’s finished. “She’s quite the woman to tame you this quickly. Patrick and I always bet it would be this way. One solid whack from the right woman and you’d fall like a dead tree. Boom! So what are you two? Boyfriend and girlfriend?”
<br />
<br />
“Yes, I’m pretty much willing to be her <i>anything</i> right now.” It’s the truth, because I would wear any label for this woman. I regain my composure and say, “I have no idea where this thing between us will go, but she hasn’t run screaming from me yet. Even after almost getting shot by Simon and hiding me from him last week.”
<br />
<br />
“Well you know how to show a girl a good time.” Tom wiggles his bushy brows. "Maybe she’s an adrenaline junkie. Or just after your junk.”<br />

<i>Calvin Parish </i>
<br />
<br />
They call me Hero. I defend. I protect. I ask for nothing in return, and that makes me good. Doesn’t it?
<br />
<br />
That which makes me the ultimate predator also feeds dark impulses I’ve learned to control—until I bring her too close. For years I’ve watched her from afar, but what started out as duty has become obsession.
<br />
<br />
<i>Cataline Ford
</i><br />
<br />
I work hard. I play by the rules. I’m content. My scars are quiet and invisible, and that keeps me hidden. Doesn’t it?
<br />
<br />
One fateful walk home, I’m taken by someone I didn’t know I should fear. Captive and afraid, nobody will tell me why I’m confined to this hauntingly beautiful mansion. I’m given everything; I have nothing. He takes what he needs from me, and for that I hate him. But I might have loved him once.
<br />
<br />
And just because you’re reading this doesn’t mean I survive him.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>EXCERPT: </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Because I’m lost in my thoughts, I don’t hear Cataline enter the room. Her tight black dress cuts across her mid-thighs, and her cleavage teases from a plummeting neckline. She’s done her makeup for probably the second time since arriving at the mansion.
<br />
<br />
“What is this?” I ask, narrowing my eyes.
<br />
<br />
“What?”
<br />
<br />
Jasmine drifts under my nose as she walks away from me to her seat.
<br />
<br />
“I told you not to dress up for dinner.”
<br />
<br />
“I thought you’d like it,” she says, lowering herself gracefully into the chair. Her back is straight as a rod, and her fingers are laced. “You don’t?”
<br />
<br />
Norman decorates the table with food as I stare Cataline down. He clears his throat. “For dinner, we have—”
<br />
<br />
“Leave us.”
<br />
<br />
He pauses. Though my eyes are still fastened on Cataline, I know he’s watching me as he bows his head. “As you wish, sir.”
<br />
<br />
I stand and slowly walk the line of the long table. My footsteps echo through the hall, appropriately menacing. I’ve just come from a burning building but am back in my suit and tie to maintain appearances. And my ridiculous glasses, which I remove and toss aside. She’ll believe I’ve just returned from the office. When I’m standing over her, she tugs up the neckline of the dress and blinks at me. I resist smirking as she tucks hair behind her ear twice.
<br />
<br />
“Well,” she says, “aren’t we going to eat?”
<br />
<br />
“I’m going to eat.”
<br />
<br />
“I’m not?”
<br />
<br />
“As far as I’m concerned, there’s only one meal at this table, and it’s you.”
<br />
<br />
My ears pick up her slow swallow, my eyes the curl of her hands in her lap. “That sounds like a threat,” she says quietly.
<br />
<br />
I bend over, flatten one hand on the table and wrap the other around the arm of her chair. “It’s not. This is a threat: if you’re not naked and spread out on this table in two seconds, I’m going to spank you so hard, you won’t know up from down.”<br />
<br />

<b>Keep Me (A Hero Novella)</b>
</div>
<br />
“I will disappoint you. I will hurt you. If I could be different, I would. But I don’t think I can.”
<br />
<br />
Declarations and sacrifices have been made. After three years, a better life is finally on the horizon. But when the past leaves marks that are both painful and permanent, is there ever such a thing as starting over? Can memories be replaced or forgotten—and should they be?
<br />
<br />
Keep Me is a follow-up novella for Hero readers who want a glimpse of life after breakfast. It is only intended to be enjoyed after Hero and is not a standalone. It is entirely optional and not essential to the original plot.

<b>Summary:</b> Ever since hard-bodied, drop-dead-charming Shane McCallan strolled into the dance club where Crystal Dean works, he’s shown a knack for getting beneath her defenses. For her little sister’s sake, Crystal can’t get too close. Until her job and Shane’s mission intersect, and he reveals talents that go deeper than she could have guessed.
<br />
<br />
Shane would never turn his back on a friend in need, especially a former Special Forces teammate running a dangerous, off-the-books operation. Nor can he walk away from Crystal. The gorgeous waitress is hiding secrets she doesn't want him to uncover. Too bad. He’s exactly the man she needs to protect her sister, her life, and her heart. All he has to do is convince her that when something feels this good, you hold on as hard as you can—and never let go.<br />

<br />
One kiss could be the last.
<br />
<br />
Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses.
<br />
<br />
Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever.
<br />
<br />
Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has no soul.
<br />
<br />
But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne…it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">EXCERPT:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
“I don’t think of Zayne that way!”
<br />
<br />
She laughed. “What man-parts-loving female in this world doesn’t think of Zayne that way? I can barely keep myself breathing when I see him. All the guys in school have squishy waists. I can tell Zayne doesn’t. He’s the awesome sauce with extra sauce.”
<br />
<br />
That he was and he so didn’t have a squishy waist, but I tuned Stacey out at that point. I really did need to cram for this test and I also didn’t want my fantasies involving Zayne to occupy my mind right now. Especially after I’d woken up this morning, carefully tucked under the covers. The bed had smelled like him: sandalwood and crisp linen.
<br />
<br />
“Oh, sweet baby Jesus in a manger,” Stacey murmured.
<br />
<br />
I clenched my jaw, cupping my hands over my ears.
<br />
<br />
She jabbed me in the side with her elbow. At this rate I’d be covered in bruises before lunchtime. “Our bio class just got a billion times more interesting. And hotter, lots and lots hotter. Holy mother, I want to have his babies. Not now of course, but definitely later. But I’d like to start practicing soon.”
<br />
<br />
The cell wall is a thick and rigid layer covering the plasma something, something plant cells…
<br />
<br />
Stacey stiffened all of a sudden. “Oh my God, he’s coming—”
<br />
<br />
Composed of fat and sugar—
<br />
<br />
Something slender and shiny fell from who knew where, landing in the middle of Sam’s notes. Blinking tightly, it took me a couple of seconds to recognize the faded and half peeled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sticker covering the back of the silver cell phone.
<br />
<br />
My heart slammed against my ribs. Gripping the edges of the notebook, I slowly lifted my gaze. Unnaturally beautiful golden eyes met mine.
<br />
<br />
“You forgot this last night.”
<br />

A tattoo gets them in trouble… He will get them out.
<br />
<br />
After years of cultivating an undercover identity, Brody West is finally off the case and free to live a life of his own. All that time spent in the company of criminals and killers left him a little jaded… and with an identity crisis. He isn’t sure who he is anymore, or who he wants to be.
<br />
<br />
To give him time to think, he takes a few days off to go fishing. On his way out of town, he makes a routine stop at the bank and finds himself flirting with the girl behind the counter.
<br />
<br />
But his flirtation is cut short when criminals burst into the bank and shoot her right before his eyes.
<br />
<br />
In attempt to administer first aid, Brody reveals a tattoo on his upper arm. A mark that will drag him and the girl into the kind of situation he was trying to get away from. But he can’t walk away because he’s the only thing capable of keeping Taylor alive and bringing down the guys who shot her—guys who are seriously dangerous.<br />

The utopian society that Chela Prizeon once lived in is corrupted—divided by fear of an ancient prophecy and scarred by past betrayals between the humans and exiled celestials. So when given a chance to explore the world on the other side of the Borderlands, Chela seizes it, gaining an unlikely ally in the process. Perhaps beyond the veil, she and Faris will find a way to save his land, the sleeping world, and begin a new life, free from lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.
<br />
<br />
But Chela fights a darkness growing stronger each time she uses her power. She also finds herself falling under the alluring spell of someone she once considered her greatest enemy. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths will change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Chela must struggle to understand the complexities of her forbidden world—and of herself—while facing significant choices about loyalty, sacrifice, honor and love.
<br />
<br />
Told from engaging multiple point-of-views, When Tidal Waves Call, by #1 Internationally best-selling author KaSonndra Leigh, brings the Lost Immortals Saga to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian-fantasy world that has captivated readers in When Copper Suns Fall and When Silver Moons Rise.<br />

My name is Gemini Sheridan. At least that’s what I thought it was for 23 years. Then one day a slight adjustment on the wheel of my mountain bike set into motion a series of catastrophic events that changed my life forever. Now I’m running from the headaches that threaten to destroy me… from the assassins that threaten to kill me… from the truth that exposes who I really am… and from the man that wants to save me. Because he now owns my heart and I fear him above all others.
<br />
<br />
My name is Drexel Wolfe and I’m a private investigator. Nothing ever stands in the way of what I want because when I see something I just take it. All of that changed the night my life collided with Gemini Sheridan’s and now everything is one hot damn mess. And the worst part of it all is that I’m trying to save her ass and I don’t know why the hell I’m even bothering. Well, that’s not exactly true. Fact is, I can’t stop thinking about her. She’s crawled into every thought I own, asleep or awake. I have serious plans for her that include making her mine. What she doesn’t know is that when I play, I play for keeps. Nothing and no one will get in my way or stop me… not even Gemini Sheridan herself.

M. Hargrove, realized her life was on fast forward and if she didn't do something soon, it would quickly be too late to write that work of fiction she had been dreaming of her whole life. So, she rolled down the passenger window of her fabulous (not) company car and tossed out her leather briefcase. Luckily, the pedestrian in the direct line of fire was a dodge ball pro and had über quick reflexes enabling him to avoid getting bashed in the head. Feeling a tad guilty about the near miss, A. M. made a speedy turn down a deserted side street before tossing her crummy, outdated piece-of-you-know-what laptop out the window. She breathed a liberating sigh of relief, picked up her cell phone, called her boss and quit her job. Grinning, she made another call to her hubs and told him of her new adventure (after making sure his heart was beating properly again).
<br />
<br />
So began A. M. Hargrove's career as a YA/NA and Adult Romance writer. Her books include the following: Edge of Disaster, Shattered Edge and Kissing Fire (The Edge Series); The Guardians of Vesturon series (Survival, Resurrection, Determinant, reEmergent and Beginnings); Dark Waltz and Tragically Flawed.
<br />
<br />
Other than being in love with writing about being in love, she loves chocolate, ice cream and coffee and is positive they should be added as part of the USDA food groups.

When I wake up in a dark, unfamiliar room, I have no idea what's waiting for me in the shadows. My imagination conjures up demons of the worst kind.
<br />
<br />
Reality is much worse:
<br />
<br />
<i>A collar with no leash. A prison with no walls. And a life stripped of meaning.
</i><br />
<br />
I am presented with a vile contract and asked to sign. It outlines the terms of my servitude. The only information I have about my captor are the two small letters inked at the bottom:
<br />
<br />
<i>J.S.
</i><br />
<br />
Armed with only my memories, I must do everything I can to avoid becoming ensnared in his twisted mind games. But in the end, it all comes down to one choice:
<br />
<br />
Resist and die.
<br />
<br />
Or submit, and sign my life away.<br />

“Lilly.”
<br />
<br />
Oh God. It’s <i>him</i>. There’s no mistaking that rich, masculine treble.
<br />
<br />
<i>What’s he doing down here?
</i><br />
<br />
“M-Mr. Stonehart,” I stutter, turning. I curse my inability to hide my surprise. He totally caught me off-guard. I have to look up to meet his eyes. Then up some more.
<br />
<br />
The face that I find is so striking it should belong to a Greek god.
<br />
<br />
He’s younger than I expected. Late thirties, maybe early forties.
<br />
<br />
<i>That means he started his company when he was younger than me!
</i><br />
<br />
Dark scruff lines his angular cheeks. His jet-black hair is styled in long, natural waves. My fingers itch to run through it.
<br />
<br />
<i>Totally inappropriate.
</i><br />
<br />
He has a prominent nose that might be too big on a less imposing man, but on him, it’s perfect.
<br />
<br />
In short, he’s a package of the purest masculinity I’ve ever seen.
<br />
<br />
And then there are his eyes. Oh my God. His eyes. They pierce into me like honing missiles. They are the deepest black I have ever seen. They would be frightening if they weren’t so beautiful. When the light reflects a certain way, you catch a glimpse of the purple underneath.
<br />
<br />
They are like midnight sapphires. His eyes reveal a cunning intellect. Those eyes do not miss a thing.
<br />
<br />
Add all that to his towering height, his wide shoulders, his confident-yet-at-ease posture… and Stonehart cuts an intimidating figure.
<br />
<br />
My gaze darts to his left hand before I can stop it. No ring. He’s unmarried.
<br />
<br />
He looks down at me, expectantly. His eyes narrow ever so slightly, and I feel like I’m being dissected, measured up, and tucked away in some small corner of his brain. I imagine this is what a gemstone feels like under the magnifying class of the most critical appraiser.
<br />
<br />
Stonehart clears his throat. I come to with a start, realizing I haven’t said anything in ages. I open my mouth, but the capacity for speech seems like a foreign concept to my brain. “I—”
<br />
<br />
Somebody bumps into me from behind. I stagger forward. I’m not used to these shoes, so my heel steps the wrong way. My ankle twists under me, and I start to fall.
<br />
<br />
I don’t fall far. The hand still on my elbow tightens, and Stonehart pulls me into him.
<br />
<br />
I plaster myself onto the solid steel wall the man has for a body. I catch a scent of his cologne. It’s a deep, musky smell with a hint of charred spruce that is all male. It scrambles my thoughts even more.
<br />
<br />
“Sorry!” a rushed voice calls out. From the corner of my eye, I see the postman giving a hurried, apologetic wave.
<br />
<br />
Although the sequence lasts less than a second, it feels like an eternity. Pressed up against <i>him</i> like that, I don’t want to move. I know that I couldn’t have made a worse first impression.
<br />
<br />
Stonehart eases me off him with a firm yet gentle grip. Our eyes meet. I flush the most vibrant red. His fingers graze my forehead as he brushes a lock of hair out of my face.
<br />
<br />
Any tenderness I may have imagined vanishes when Stonehart takes out his cell. He long dials a key and growls an order. “Steven. See the delivery boy leaving right now? Have his building pass revoked.”
<br />
<br />
I gape. Stonehart keeps speaking. “Wait. I thought of one better. Bar his company from accessing the building.” There’s a pause. “For how long? Indefinitely. FedEx can talk to me when they have an improved employee selection program in place.”
<br />
<br />
The phone call gives me just enough time to compose myself. My heart’s still beating out of my chest. But nobody has to know that.
<br />
<br />
I speak without thinking. “You’re going to restrict the entire company from serving this building because of <i>that</i>?”
<br />
<br />
Stonehart humors me with an answer. “A company’s employees are its most important asset. Their behavior reflects the organization as a whole. If FedEx decided that clown is good enough for them, it tells me they’re sloppy. I do not do business with sloppy organizations.”
<br />
<br />
“What about the other tenants in the building?” I ask. “Won’t that piss them off?”
<br />
<br />
When I hear myself and realize how <i>improper</i> my question is, my cheeks flame red again.
<br />
<br />
Stonehart’s eyes darken, as if he cannot believe I asked that question. I open my mouth to apologize for my imprudence, hating the way my professional skills have evaporated into thin air. I’m cut off by a short, barked laugh.
<br />
<br />
“Miss Ryder.” He sounds amused. “I believe that is the most direct and honest question anybody has dared ask me in weeks.” He takes my elbow again and leads me to the elevators. I have to take two quick steps to match one of his long strides.
<br />
<br />
“Yes,” he continues. “They will be ‘pissed off.’ But the perk of owning a building—” he hits the elevator call button, “—is that you get to make executive decisions.” He gives me an unreadable glance as the doors open. “That is, at the risk of being questioned by inexperienced interns.”
<br />
<br />
If that isn’t a loaded remark, I don’t know what is. I flush scarlet red for the third time since I’ve met him. I’ve never had a man throw me so off balance.
<br />
<br />
The elevator is packed, for which I’m infinitely thankful. The trip up will give me some time to <i>properly</i> compose myself.
<br />
<br />
Gratitude turns to panic when the crowd files out, meek as mice, when Stonehart steps in. None of the people waiting in the lobby follow us.
<br />
<br />
The doors close. I’m alone in here with him. My heart’s beating as fast as a hummingbird’s wings.
<br />
<br />
He catches me staring. “Impressed?” he asks.
<br />
<br />
“They know you,” I manage.
<br />
<br />
His dark eyes flash with amusement. “Astute.”<br />
<br />

I wrote my first book as a college sophomore. After six months of edits, it made its debut as <a href="http://www.scarlettedwards.com/">Yours to Savor</a>.
<br />
<br />
That was at the start of 2013. I’ve written more books since then. You can find them all <a href="http://www.scarlettedwards.com/books.html">here</a>.
<br />
<br />
It’s funny how quickly life changes. I used to think I’d need a degree to get a “Real Job.” Then I wrote a few books, they got somewhat popular, and now I’m living the life as a full-time romance author.
<br />
<br />
Thanks to all my readers for making my dreams come true!<br />
